It seems to be the universal opinion ihat ths war is over and peace will soon be declared. The Klondike grocery presents a neat apoearance. The ceiling and walls have been repapered. When a real estate agent issues a receipt for rent they must place a twenty-l-vfc-cent stamp thereon. Huckleberries are coming into the market at a lively rate, but the crop rill Tail far short from last year. A number of the factory boys are new at work in the country, assisting t!.e farmers in caring for the "golden grain." (J. W. Nyhart sold the first pickles of the season to the Heinz Pickling company in this city yesterday fourteen pounds. Gus Wolf is the recipient of an alligator from Hud Ocher, who is now at Tampa, Fla. It is the biggest "gator" in towi . The c ise against Liberty Cross on a charge of provoke was last evening dismissed bv Prosecutor Lauer in Justice H. . .. Corbin's court. The war with sfpain is costing I'ncle Sam a million of dollars a day, but the old man is clear grit, because the other fellow will have to foot the bill. Mr. and Mrs. George Hahn have returned from their Port Huron, Mich., visit. George says that Port Huron is a great city and one of the prettiest pi icat in the country. The internal revenue collector says that every man, whether a traveling salesman or not, who sells goods on a commission, will be required to pay a special tax of 20 a year as a commercial broker. umlay seems to be the luckiest day for important war events. Dewey sank Montejo's Meet on Sunday; Sampson sank Cervera's fleet on Sunday; and the Spanish forces laid down their arms in Santiago on Sunday. The Novelty works is running and turning out considerable work. They have orders for rims and telephone cases ruilicient to keep the wheels turning for some time, and bere the present orders are filled otheu will be on lile. The farmers in the south part of the county have about completed their harvest, with the exception of oats. The wheat yield was satisfactory and the oats crop promises well. But a big ram is needed at this time to save the corn crop. The condition of David Shalt er, who was injured last week shingling a barn near Argos, remains about the same. This morning he was resting easy but the injuries received will require careful treatment before Mr. Shaffer is himself again. It is the opinion of Shafter that it would have required the sacrifice of ",0U0 lives of American soldiers to have taken Santiago by force, bo well was it fortified, provided the Spaniards would have kept up the light as they did the first day. There seems to be no little confusion as regards the new revenue law and the issue of marriage certificates. In some counties the clerk seems to think he is required to place the ten cent stamp tnereon, while others interpret it to mean that the stamp is to be placed upon the return certificate of the officiating magistrate. Klias Shearer and George Denman indulged in a war of words on Michigan street oday at noon. They are broth-ers-in iw and the trouble seemed to be afrmily affair. A large crowd was attracted, and for a while it looked like a scrap might develop. They called each other very bad names, which was not the proper thing to do. 1 ley are both good farmers, and when cooled off no doubt will regret what they said an 4 did today. The plan of permitting the Cubans to try their hand at self government on a small scale is recommended by the observations of our military men as to the character of the Cubans. If the Cubans cannot govern Santiago prop

erly it would be unsafe to throw upon them suddenly the larger task of governing the entire island. Lee M. Kendall sent his father a live alligator from Tampa, Fla., yesterday. The young reptile is as lively as a cricket, and can be seen in the show window of Mr. Kendall s store. General Jo6e Toral is probably a gentleman and dou' Jess a scholar, as such things go in Spain, but he ought to send a diagram with his otlicial communications to the American forces. In his published letter of Saturday he starts it olT like a man who wants to borrow ten dollars till the next pay day and winds it up like a missing word puzzle. The normal is progressing nicely and today thirty one-names were enrolled. This promises to be one of the best normals that was ever held in Plymouth. The hall is light and airy and the students are not bothered by the heat. If you have time drop in a few moments and listen to the instructions by Messrs. Kedd and Mc Alpine. It is stated that recent .y the Standard Oil company discovered that it owed a man at Peru two cents for oil. A draft for two cents was made c ut in the man's favor, a two cent stamp placed on it, and the draft was enclosed in a two cent envelope and forwarded to him. Thus it coBt the Standard Oil Company four cents to cancel a two cent debt. Put the war revenue fund was "swelled" two cents. Judge Capron received a letter todav from his son, Capt. J. C. Capron, dated

Friday, in which he stated that the health of Company M was excellent, and that he had fully recovered his health and was himself again. One week ago last Monday Cat. Capron was otlicer of the day and a tremendous rain storm visited the camp and he was drenched to the skin. He took a chill and suffered with cramps, but by careful nursing and the attendance of good physicians he pulled through it all right. His many friends at home will be glad to hear of his complete restoration to health. From Wednesday' Dally. Considerable sickness is reported in Plymouth at the present time. Remember that Plymouth is going to have some splendid racing the last of August. Henry Prenner will leave in a few days lor South Dakota to reside permanently. Charlie Woods writes from North Dakota and says that the wheat crop there is the greatest ever known before. It was rumored on the streets today that Lieut. Claud Fish would arrive in Plymouth in a few days on leave of absence. Second, third and fourth class mail matter must be paid at the post office where it is mailed. This is a late ruling of the Post Master General. Will English, rue genial and competent county surveyor, is exceedingly happy today, and he has every reason to be. It's a girl and the first jewel of his household. Here 1b our hand. Mrs. Lee Jacoby, of Chicago, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Will Hahn of this city. Lee will return to this city in a few days. He has been working in a bicycle factory in Chicago for the past six months. Bremen is on the boom, no less than fifty houses are now in course of erection. Business is good and from reports it is growing better every day . The Radiator works is running night and day and are behind on their orders. Frank L. Jones, of Tipton, republican candidate for superintendent of public instruction, was in the city today looking up the delegates to the state convention. Mr. Jones is one of the best educators in Indiana. He left for Rochester on a mission of mercy. The number of students registered today at the normal is thirty. Prot. Kedd reports much interest taken by the students and thinks that- by next week the number will be much larger. A number of young people of Plymouth are spending a few days down at Pretty lake. From reports at hand they are enjoying themselves in a way that is perfectly satisfactory. They invite their friends to call. Some of the clerks are talking of arranging matters whereby they can hold a grand picnic in the near future down at I'retty lake. We hope they will succeed for they certainly deserve a day for hand shaking and recreation. The celebrated Harker-Stout assault and battery case was heard by Justice Reeves this morning. Prosecutor Lauer for the state and John Houghton appeared for the defence. After hear ing the evidence the Justice acquitted the defendant of the charge. it looks as if Blanco was to be left "all by his lonesome' as the phrase goes. In fact he is to be shut in, cut otT, bottled up, sewed up, imprisoned in Havana until all around him is gone. Then he will be sufiiciently humilitated, no doubt, to throw up his job. All persons solemnizing marriages hereafter are required to put a ten cent revenue stamp on the return to the clerk of the marriage certificate. Kven those entering into the holy bonds

of wedlock are subject to the tax for raising money to aid in carrying on the war against Spain. Admiral Sampson's manhood would have stood out in a little clearer lieht had he mentioned Commodore Schley in his official dispatch to Washington telling of the destruction of Cervera's lleet. In great contrast is the official eport of (ien. Miles giving full credit to Gen. Shafter for the capture of Santiago. The drouth is so severe that people generally are looking anxiously for rain. l'nles there is a precipitation of moisture very soon there will be a change in the market for "garden sass" that will operate against the household exchequer. Potatoes are suffering from the scorching sun, and the early varieties will be scant. Tramps entered ttie residence of Marshall White, a well-to-do farmer near Lapaz, while Mr. While was in the field at work, and Mrs. White was away from home. They had things their own way and ransacked the house at their leisure. A few dollars in money and clothing were carried away by the thieves who made good their escape. Gab does not make the man, Thomas Jefferson could not make a speech neither could George Washington. Neither could Gen. Grant. Vet their names are bright in history as statesmen and soldiers. Jefferson could put eloquence on paper, but he Eeldoin spoke when a member of congress. He considered that a great deal of valuable time was uselessly spent in debate. It was annoying to him to sit and lister, to tremendous talks day after day in the halls of congress on unimportant questions. The enforcement of the dog tax law creates considerable talk as to the propriety of having so many canines over the country. Almost every man who owns a dog believes that his neighbor's dog is a nuisance, and if it were not for his own Fido he would be in favor of a dog tax high enough to exterminate the species. If it could be left to a vote, one half of the dogs in the com munity would be voted nuisances, and that would go to show that whether a tax is a hardship or not depends very much upon whose ox is gored by it. "I want a divorce and I want it quick." This remark was made by a young married woman a few days ago in Plymouth in a court of justice. Her husband is serving his country down at Tampa, and ere this appears m print he may be on his way to Porto Rico to defend "old glory."' His wife whom he left at home got "stuck on a handsomer man," and now she wants a divorce. If she wants it, she eught to have it, but doubt very much whether she will get it until the war is over and peace is declared. Give her husband a chance to defend himself. The chances are four to one that he will make himself heard should he be so fortunate to escape Spanish bullets. The man that will step in and undertake to ruin a home under such conditions is worse than the wife who asked for a divorce. They will both get their just deserts in due season. This is only one little ep isode in the daily routine of every day affairs in our town.

From Thursday's Dally. There is no change in the condition of Mrs. W. Kelley. A Howard county farmer says he has 500 bushels of plums and can not sell them, Owners of dogs should remember that it is a violation of law to allow them to run loose on the streets without muzzles. Mrs. Oglesbee received a telegram from her husband 'oday stating that he had been ordred from Washington to Chickamauga and would leave for that point at once. Company E, Twelfth Indiana cavalry, will hold its Tenth Annual reunion at the residence of Comrade John Peoples' on Wednesday, Aug. SI, 18i8. C. L.Andrews, president; J. M. Carman, secretary. It is thought that some of the boys of Company M will soon be at home on furlough. Everything is quiet around Tampa, without much prospect for the 157th to be called to the front; there will be dg trouble in some of the boys being granted a furlough. Included in the terms of peace with Spain should be a demand, on the part of the I'nited States, that Wey ler and Blanco be sewed up in a hugh sack and dropped in the depths of the sea. Those two blatherskites have done more than any other agency to prolong the war. Col. W. W. Michaels, of South Bend, was in the city yesterday in company with Capt. John W. (ir flith, Lieut. Samuel Schräder and Major Dan White, of New Carlisle. They came over to be examined before the board of pension of Marshall county. They returned to their homes last evening. Marshal Meyers arrested Jerry Cratzer today for provoking Albert Webber. Cratzer bad a big "jag" on and was taken to jail. He may have provoked Albert but the condition he was in when Officer Meyers found him would indicate that he could not provoke any one. Cr iter waB a former citizen of Plymouth, but his present home is Fort Wayne.

GUS WOLF, THE RELIABLE CLOTHIER.

A ROUSING MEETING. MILES H. TIBBETTS POST DO HONOR TO NAVAL HEROES. M.- Speeche Made at Their Meeting Scliloy, fcampsou and Shatter Trained ly the Order Cheor for tlie Aiuerican Miles H. Tibbetts Post, G. A. lt.. held their regular meeting Monday night. The attendar.ee was far aboYe the average. The old war veterans of '61 were there and the enthusiasm of the boys who went to the front under (irant, Hancock, Mead, Sherman, Thomas and Hood In those trying times in the sixties was unconGned. It was one of those kind of assemblies of warscarred soldiers in which patriotism and love for the old Hag and American institutions knew no bounds. It was a camp fire a love feast. McKinley, Sampson, Schley, Watson, Evans, Dewey and Clark came in for their share of praise in the glorious victories on land and sea during the past two months. Speeches were made by Capt. Amasa Johnson, Dickinson, L. Tanner, J. K. Houghton, Capt. Jiailey and others. They sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," "The Army and Navy Forever," and "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Toasts were given to Dewey, Sampson and Schley for their gallant and heroic achievements in far-off Cuba in the cause of humanity. The soldiers and sailors, the boys whose aim was unerring, the stokers in the hold of the battleships were all remembered, and three times three were given for their heroism displayed in the heat of battle. It was a meeting that will go down into the hiBtory of Miles Ii. Tibbetts I'ost It was never equaled and probably will never be duplicated. The meeting closed with three times for every man that wore the blue in defense of the stars and stripes. Kill the !(k. A. It. Underwood, of the firm of Underwood A Walls, while passing the residence of Henry Stein, the pop man Thursday, was attacked by his big burly Dane dog and severely bitten in his left arm by this dangerous canine. Mr. Underwood was riding his wheel and when just in front of Mr. Stein's residence the dog came bounding out and seized him by the left arm, lacerating it terribly. Mr. Underwood hastened to the ottice of Drs . Reynolds & Holtzendorff and bad the wound auterized by the latter gentleman.

BARGAINS

j There is a law now in force requiriDg all owners of dogs to see that they are muzzled. Stein failed to obey the law and is liable to prosecution and also namages in case Mr. Underwood cares to press the matter. Mr. Stein says that Mr. Underwood was riding on the sidewalk, which is also a violation of the law. A dog bite at this season of the year is dangerous and just what the result of the wound will be can only be conjectured. The dog will no doubt be killed as he ought to be. Ked Men Will Meet. The Red Men, of the Waoash Valley, are making arrangement to have one of the greatest pow-wows ever known before in the history of that order in Indiana. The date is August 4th and the place Frankfort, Ind. Walter M. Suit, son of the late Judge Jas. C. Suit, will deliver the welcome address. Judge Hord, of Shelbyville, will respond. Fast Grand Sachem, Daniel MeDonald, of this city, will deliver an address touching on the tenants of the order. It will be a gala day for the Ked Men of Indiana. The War Feeling. Bondholders and contractors are in favor of prolonging the war for the money there is in continued contracts and bond issues. Politicians would like to see it continued that they may ride into otlice on the wave of war excitement that controls the country, but the people who pay most of the expenses would like to see a vigorous prosecution and a speedy end of the war, that it may absorb as little of the wealth of the country as possible in its cost of blood and treasure.
