Weyler before Spain is able to realize that she is whipped. The average wheat yield in Marshall county will reach 88 bushels to the acre. This indicates and immense crop of the statt of life.

When the news reached Plymouth yesterday that Santiago had surrendered the blind man on the corner was was playing the "Stars and Stripes Forever." It is rumored that Dr. Knott has withdrawn from the race as a candi date for representative. The many friends of the doctor will regret to hear this rumor. There is no reason to anticipate serious danger to our troops in Cuba from jellow fever. There is the nest of medical treatment at hand, and every precaution is taken. Ir. Kaiser, of Inwood, was able to walk to the dinner table today for the first tune in two weeks. The doctor has been a very sick man for the past week but is now on the road to recovery. Just asr as the Spaniards heard that fieri i Miles had arrived they surrender i. Hut this is not up to the record c. the Greeks. They surrendered when they heard he was coming. Mr. I. Ho er, a carpenter, while shingling a house near Argos, fell from the roof and seriously injured his back and side. lie was brought to his home in this city last night. He will be confined to his bed for some time. The young man now in jail, suffering from the elTects of a gun shot wound, is slowly improving, but the indications now point toward lock-jiiw. He hae great ditticulty in swallowing, which, the attending physician says, points Btrongly toward lock-jaw. Maxenkuckee is proving a drawing card this summer for a number of Flymouthites. One reason for this, it is stated, is that there are no mosquitoes down there, while many assert that millions of those pesky insects inhabit and line the bank of Pretty lake. A. (i. Ilortetter, of LaGrange. who is reported to be on his way back from the Klondike with HO others, is at Seattle, "busted" and disgusted with the country. The entire company lost all they had, and gained nothing but a tmall knowledge of the country, says an exchange. General Blanco had better turn his attention to the handwriting on the wall. We are told that when Belsha.zar saw it "His countenance was changed and his thoughts troubled him, so that tr.e joints of his loins were loosened and his knees smote one against the other." Belshazar sent for Daniel to interpret the handwriting; Hlanco might try Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Three years since George Hungerford brought from Mexico several "follow fish," so called from disposition to pursue one another. These were planted in Sherman's lake, at (i ales-

STOCK OF

burg, Mich. Win. Glingle hooked one of these fish, and upon puilintr it In 11 others sprang from the water in pursuit, and landing in the boat, were captured. They averaged two pounds each Warden Harley and other authorities of the state prison are preparing to substitute aluminum cups for the heavy iron stone china vessels from which the convicts now drink eoli'ee. Tuesday the convicts were served with new potatoes and new peas for dinner. The peas were raised on the täte farm and this is the first meal they have been served. After the peas had been shelled it required eleven bushels to go : around among the inmates. Next week new string beans will be ripe. Arm chair critics who think the Spanish got too easy terms at Santiago should consider that a bombardment and assault of the city would have caused a considerable loss of life on both sides, and after we had captured the city it would have been a heap of ruins and ashes, whereas now we captured it intact and without the additional loss of a single life. The sending ol the Spanish prisoners home in American ships is a novel feature in warfare, but it is good policy and is likely to excite the admiration of other governments. "Classing McCoy's victory over Ruhlin v ith that of Sharkey," says a sporting man, "gives the sailor a decided advantage, and the chances are that McCoy will take none of the sailor's game. At the same time McCoy is believed to be far above Sharkey In everything but strength, and therein lies Sharkey's best hold on championship honors. Sharkey is a dangerous man for any one to fool with, particularly as he appears to have improved consid erably in cleverness, and is able to keep his head in moments when a victory is almost certain. The challenge of harkey, after his quick victory over Kuhlin, to any man in the world, is likely to hasten the meeting between McCoy and Corbett, for both of these worthies are ready to seek for trouble with Sharkey."

Not alone "highly recommended" but results guar anteed at F. A. Forbes.' Id2w Gen. Shafter held up his end of the Santiago campaign In a manner hitrhly creditable to him and the brave fellows under him. Great as were their victories they were not great enough to make any ot Shatters a men look back to those Santiago experiences as a picnic. The infant child of John Khinehart, of North Plymouth, died this morning and was hurried this afternoon at 2 p. m. The Pennsylvania has issued an order that all employes wearing uniforms muBt wear black shoes and black neckties The tan shoe has seen its day on that road.

The preachers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, clerks, all are entitled to a few week's vacation The only man blocked from this pleasure is the editor. The suspicion is growing that foreign money is being used to influence American sentiment towards the Philippines, or, rather, towards the policy we should adopt towards them. Daniel McDonald left yesterday for Fl Paso, Te x is, in answer to a telegram that his daughter, Mise Kittie Mc Donald, who has been sojourning there for the past six months for her health, was not expected to live. It transpires that the bulkheading of the lost steamer Bourgogne was in ac cordance with the obsolete transverse system. Had her compartments been subdivided by a longitudinal bulkhead running from bow to stern, she would

! have survived the collision. The dan er of sea travel on modern steamers I is mainly from collision, and travel 'fl I on ship thai are properly bulk beaded 1 are therefore reasonably sate. It is now reported that Governor Mount will pardi O IV. H. Holderman, I I ex-County treasurer ot Flkhart county, ! who is now serving a term in the I Michigan City prison for misappronriating 820,000 county funds. There was a ease likd before Justice Peeves today against several small I hoys for trespassing on the complaint

ants lands where a first class nuckleberry marsh is located. .1 ust iee Peeves has not as yet rendered a decision. A sensation has been created in political circles by the Hammond Leader, one of the leading republican organs of I Lake county, bolting the nomination of ; ( !ongrestman Cratn packer and supportI ms: .lohn Rose, t tie democratic nominee. It the reports from Madrid, that the Spanish government legards their army as the onlv obstacle to peace, be true, it will only have to wait a short time for our boys to remove the obstacle. They have made a beginning at Santiago A young man named Inman of Lawrence county was tracked by bloodhounds and forced to confess setting lire to Dan Kollins' barn last week. He was not favored as a suitor to Miss ! Mary Hollins which caused jealousy with the above result. Well, the C . S. has captured a 6mall corner of Cuba anyway, and has a few good harbors, and some mountainous country that is regarded as very healthy where the ganison which must be kept there may be very comfortable and free from the yellow fairer plague. The M. E, Sunday school of Plymouth will run an excursion to St. Joe, Mich., on the 27th. St. Joe is one of the prettiest summer resorts in the' country so if you want to spend a day of genuine pleasure and enjoyment you want to join the crowd and spend a day at St. Joe. It has been a good many years since Columbus, acting as an envoy of Spain, made his first visit to this conn try and until now we have been too busy to return the call. Put very soon our Mr. Watson will sail across the ocean with special orders to drop a card with the compliments of Lucie Sam in all the Spanish sea coast cities. . The spirit of the French and Pel gians at Alexandria, this State, is indeed wo; thy of emulation, and their three days celebration of the victories of their adopted country over a treacherous enemy should be given "a hand" all over the country. Were all the Furopean contributions to our population of that sort the immigration question would settle itself. A young man and woman passed through Plymouth this morning enroute for Logansport. They were going through the country on wheels. Their home, they claim, is in Grand Papids, Mu h. It was a little case of elopement and they took this ruse to avoid irate parents. They will be married in Logansport, providing no stumbling block is in the way when they reach that city. They certainly ought to be allowed to go their way after their long hot ride over dusty roads. The recruiting of-icers for the regular army are required to reject men of intemperate and criminal habits. This is as it should be. Only the best men should be permitted to serve a Nation in responsible and honorable positions. Hy far the larger part of the volunteers are young men who In character and intelligence are the Mowers of the land. When, therefore, a court permits a man to escape jail by enlisting in a company of young men of good character, it unwittingly does them grave injustice. Besides a low. vicious and i i . - lawureaKing man is, ten to one, a guardhouse soldier. From Monday i Dally. Everybody is paying the war revenue bill because they believe it to be a duty. W. B. Yost will move to Warsaw tomono w where he will continue in the cigar business. Mr. and Mrs. David Paddy, of North Adams, Mass., are the guests ot Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Carpenter. Fin Kesler nursed young Mullholand in the county jail and did all that was possible to relieve him during his last hours on earth. inall8 delivery horse took a notion to run away this morning and for a few minutes made things lively on Michigan street. The damage was light. Prof. Redd opened his normal school today in Kuhns hall. There was a good attendance, and the outlook for an interesting term is very flattering. Senator Fairbanks is authority for the statement that there will be no third call for troops, He thinks the fall of Santiago practically ends the war. The Molter band has not disbanded, so we were informed by Mr. Molter today. They are practicing and getting ready to give a street concert in the near future. J. M. Appleman returned home from South I miv..t a yesterday. Mr. Applemail says that the people who left

Marshall county for that country some time ago are prospering and are well satisfied with their new home. On Sundays parties of ;ive or more can go anywhere and return within one hundred miles on the Nickel Plate road for si for the round trip. Ask agents. James Giimore and wife returned from their bridal trip last night, and are now at home to their friends at the residence of the groom's father ou Sooth Michigan street. Corn is shriveling up in a discouraging manner and new potatoes aie pre

I maturely ripening. The fall crop of potatoes promises to be unusually light and higher prices will prevail. Ask agens about Sunday Outings on the Nickel Plate road. Parties of live or more can go anywhere on the Nickel Plate road not to exceed on hundred miles at a round trip rate of si. Santiago is ours, on our terms. A strong army and a good stiff backbone did the work. It is indeed a glorious victory, accomplished, as it finally was, without sacrifice of human life. Miss Lizzie i oder, of Inwood, who was seriously burned two months ago while trying to save her little brother from burning to death, died at her home today at the hour of twelve. Miss Voder was a charming young lady and her death is greatly deplored. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah F. Goddard was conducted from her late residence at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Pev. L.S. Smitii of the M. F. church preached the discourse. The interment took place at the Stringer cemetery by the side of her husband whose death occurred 31 years ago. The Sunday-school and congregation of the st. Thomas episcopal church announce their annual picnic to be held on Wednesday, July 20, ls".i at Maxinkuckee lake, all to go down on Vandalia train at noon, to return that day or the next. Tickets 3(J cents, children 15 cents, infants free. All Plymouth and vicinity are invited to fo. Mrs. James Thomas died at her home at Maxenkuckee Saturday night at 10 o'clock. Her death was caused by what is supposed to have been sunstroke. She leaves six children four sons and two daughters. The funeral occurred this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment in Poplar (irove cemetery. Mrs. Thomas had many friends in Marshall county. A new rule adopted at the Penitentiary requires that all convicts shall be taken from the dining room to their cells and locked up immediately after dinner each day and kept there fifteen or twenty minutes while the guards go to fhe state boarding house and eat their dinner, properly served, instead of having to eat cold meals served in the shops. The temporary lock up aflects about 400 contract men and gives them a very desirerable rest at midday. Teddy O'Connell, a former citizen of Plymouth, died in Chicago Saturday f.-om the effects of an injury received In a runaway accident a few days ago. Fifteen years ago Mr. O Connell was a clerk in the general store of Mr. Williamson in this city, and his friends could be coun'.ed by the hundreds. His remains arrived in Plymouth this morning on the 10:30 train and was taken to the Catholic church, where Father Monech preached an eloquent funeral discourse. Interment in Catholic cemetery. Indiana dealers In harvesting machines, such as reapers, threshers, etc., say that the farmers througout the state made more purchases this season than for seven years past. Some dealers say they found it impossible to till the demand for threshing machines, the manufacturers being unable to turn out machinal enough for their agents throughout the country. In many localities in Indiana dealers in mowers and self-binders made a snug little sum of money. Joe Gandy was gloriously drunk yes terday and thought he would sleep it off Id the court house yard. Sheriff Marshall found him and as Joe is a bad piece of property, the marshal was notified and in company with the sheriff Mr. Meyers repaired to the court house lawn and got out the hose and Joe got such a drenching that he begged for mercy. When the ollicers got through Joe was thoroughly sober and he promised never to get drunk again. The punishment which he re ceived would duplicate 89.65 any time It was the first good bath Joe has had for years. The next time that be gets olT fiis base they are going to call out the lire department and give him direct pressure. The more news we receive of our Cuban "allies," the leas confidence we have in them, if by this time there is any left. Before the marines were landed at Guantanamo they made a pretense of doing something, potting an occasional Spaniard from their hid ing places, but giving the American forces absolutely no assistance. While Admiral Sampson was laying outside of Santiago harbor, waiting for some token that Cervera's fleet was in there,

did the Cubans, who were reported to overrun the province, carry the news to him? Not a particle. So Lieut, Blue risked his life by making a circuit of seventy miles around Santiago, and learned the full particulars of the strength of the Spaniards.

Spanish Prisoner Will ..t B Seat Rack to Spate, The air, that for several days has been surcharged with stories ot the ravages of yellow fever, the stealthy evacuation of Santiago by Gen. Total and speculation as to the possible defeat of our forces, now wafts rumors of armistices looking to peace. The talk Of peace taks on all sorts of shape, and at the state department there is grave suspicion that these outgivings come from sources that would rejoice to see Spain drive a clever bargain with

tbe I'nited States. Secretary Alger will not, send the Spanish troops to Spain in American vessels unless Spain pledges herself not to molest or detain these vessels. There is a belief in high administration circles this afternoon that a gigantic question la now to be solved in the matter of the prisoners. Some officials believe that Spain will not want the prisoners sent to her shores, and will make no arrangement whereby American vessels can take them across the sea. If she does this, ships of some other country will have to to be engaged to take the prisoners away. The Bantings Prisoners. The agreement by the I'nited States to send the Santiago prisoners back to Spain is an event full of interest in itself and entirely without precedent In history. From one point of view it marks the highest advance of civilization and humanity in the conduct of war. Prisoners of war have been subjected to various kinds of treatment at different periods and stages of civilization. They have been slain by their captors, they have been tortured and imprisoned, they have been enslaved for life, held as permanent hostages, held for ransom, and, ic modern times, exchanged or paroled. The original and savage theory of war was that prisoners became the property of their captors, to be treated as the latter saw tit. They were regarded and treated as still enemies. The modern theory is that the moment an enemy becomes a prisoner he ceases to be an enemy and is entitled to protec tion and the utmost degree of humane treatment consistent with his detention as a prisoner and his 6trict subjection to military law. Generally they are sent to the captor's country or removed to points at a distance from the actual theater of war, where they can be securely held. In the present case, for the first time in the history of the world, a great nation proposes in the very hour of victory to send accross the ocean to their own country not less than 12,000 prisoners of war recently captured with arms in their hands, and to do this at its own expense, furnishing transportation and food for the prisoners on the way, and landing them on their own shores. Nothing like this has ever occurred before. Troops win Leave Tampa. Tampa, Fia., July 17. The military situation here assumed renewed activity today over the receipt of orders which indicate an early movement of a large number of troops to the front. A number of regiments Which have become weary ol their lont; detention here are jubilant over what now appears to be a genuine move. Early this morning the First Brigade of the Second Division, Army Corps commanded by General Schwan, was ordered to hold itself in readiness to immediately move aboard transports. This afternoon these orders were countermanded, and later came instructions for the entire Second Division, commanded by General Snyder, to be pre pared to move at any moment. This! division is composed of three brigades, comprising three regiments each as tollow8: Fifth, Eleventh and Nineteenth regulars: Second New York, Fifth Maryland and First District of Colum- j bia volunteers; One-hundred and-tifty-: seventh Indiana, First Ohio and Third ; Pennsylvania voluntas .Iptaeh : .

William Mullholand, the young man who was shot by (iideon Logan while burglariitfg the latter s siore 111 Teegarden two weeks ago, died at the county jail shortly after 12 o'clock Mou day. Everything possible has been I done by Sheriff Marshall and his good wife and the attending physicians to save the life of this unfortunate young man, but to no avail. Logan's shot, while not aimed with murderous intent, cut short the life of one whose talents might have made him prosperous and useful had the young man so decreed it. Uemg out of work, he, like many others, said this world owed him a living and he proposed to get it. He entered Logan's store at midnight for the purpose of taking that which did not belong to him, and as a result met his death wound. SherilT Marshall received a

letter from his sister Monday morning stating that their mother died two

montns ago. she sent money to pay for a picture of her erring brother, and stated that she could not help him, as she was then employed In a shirt factory, trying to earn money enough to pay the funeral expenses of her mother. The funeral took place Tuesday at 10 o'clock from the Catholic church. Interment in Catholic cemetery. 'Sltesij. Mrs. Sarah Goddarddied at her home near Twin Lakes. Friday night at 12 o'clock.
