John Zimmer, one of the up-to-date farmers, says that unless a heavy rain fall comes quick the corn crop in Marshall county will be almost a complete failure.

Every time a man invents a good thing some other man comes along and makes a fortune out of it. A number of Marshall county farmers report that the wheat yield per acre r ;ns from 25 to Ö0 bushels.

The man who knows everything is a serious menace to any community. Just think what would happen if he should conclude to quit talking or if he should happen to die. A regular hiatus would be the result and old-time chaos would follow. The know-it-all fellow, the fellow who knows how to run everything, including the newspaper, should be guarded with jealous care from all harm. He is too valuable to be left unprotected from the storms and frosts of an unkind world. Muncie Herald. Sylvester Scovel, a newspaper corres pondent of very yellow propensities who is now with the army at Santiago, will get all the notoriety he sought, and a great deal more, out of his act of ruffianism in striking Major-General Shaffer. He had previously made himself offensive by disregarding the orders governing correspondents in the held, and sought to avenge a fancied slight in a manner that might, were the strict rules of war adhered to, be punished by death. Tbe chances are that he will be returned to t his country in irons and be permitted to take up a long and laborious residence at Dry Tortugaa.

Father Moench, who has been pastor of St. Michael's church in this city for the past twenty years, has been relieved by Bishop Radamacher and ordered to Valparaiso. His successor is the Rev. Father Nenger, of Attica, Ind. Every effort was put forth by his flock to retain him, but to no avail. Father Moench is one of the ablest Catholic priests in this diocese. When he took charge of the church in this city twenty years ago his predecessor turned over to him 827. Today Father Moench tu-ned over to his successor 84,000 and one of the largest memberships in northern Indiana.

He briefly reviewed his long pastorate in this city, and during the discourse the reverend gentleman was deeply moved as were alo the hundreds who heard him. He will leave for Valparaiso Wednesday and enter at once on his work in his new field of labor. KrcMh Victims. Not a day passes but tbat there is a victim to the new internal war revenue tax. It appears dow that manufacturing companies having on hand cash surplus, awaiting use in paying dividends, which surplus meanwhile is loaned upon collaterals, are required to pay special tax as banks under tbe act of June 13, 1898. The bill reads "that every person, firm or company having a place of business where money is advanced or loaned on stocks, bonds, bullion, bills of exchange or promissory notes- shall be a banker under this act."- Michigan City Dispatch. The Th.rtl Call. In state military circles there is a growing belief that there will be a third call for troops. The men who claim to know say that this will be the result if there is no more fighting for six months. Immense land forces will be needed in Cuba for a long time to come and with the Philippines and other proposed possessions staring the country in the face, thousands of other 6oldiers I will be needed to occupy thein.

Departed. We clip the following notice from The Colony Citizen, published at Fitz-it-raid, Ga., of the death of Miss Bertha Chester, who formerly resided in Plymouth, and is well known to many of our citizens: Bertha E. Chester was born in Columbia City, Whitley Co., Indiana, October 27, lSTti, and died at Fitzgerald, Georgia, July ",, I8U8, aged 21 years, 8 months, 10 days. Bertha resided all her life in Indiana previous to coming to Georgia in D6, except for on'.i year her parents removed to Michigan. She was possessed of considerable artistic ability and a number of her paintings are solictously cared for by her sorrowing parents. Perhaps on account of her musical accomplishments was Bertha best known to the Fitzgerald public, few indeed of our citizens who have not been delighted by the sweet harmony evoked by her skilled lingers. The deceased was a member and an energetic worker in the W. C. T. U. and formerly a member of the Grace Reform church, though not taking membership with any denomination since coming to Fitzgerald. She was organist at the Lutheran church and an active worker in the Lutheran Sunday-school in the hearts of whose scholars her memory will be long enshrined. She died happy. The funeral was from the Lutheran church Thursday at 3 p. m., the sermon by Rev. Shoup being beautiful and touching throughout, abounding in words of comfort for the bereaved, and rich in promises of reward for those who follow the precepts cf tbe Master.

Mr. I inIi i if I C'rreci An Krror. Fditor Independent- Dear Sir: In your account of Mr. Stein s dog biting me, published in your paper of yesterday, you state that I was on the sidewalk with my bicycle in violation of the law. This is false. I was not then on the walk, and am now, and have always been, even before its passage, in favor of the ordinance for the prohibition of sidewalk riding. At this time 1 was in the roadway, and to avoid the dog in question 1 even went into the grass and weeds on the opposite side of the road. Mr. Stein did not see the allair, and knew nothing of it till after, when 1 went in and told him of it. The publication of thi6 statement is respectfully asked, that the readers of your paper may know the facts in the case. Respectfully, A. R Underwood. To whom it may concern: Thi6 is to certify that I saw Mr. Stein's dog jußt as it jumped onto Mr. Underwood yesterday morning, and can state positively that Mr. Underwood was clear over to the opposite side of the roadway at the time, and was not on the sidewalk. Signed, H. A. Armstrong. lisi 11 itt it- Morri Kiitertaius. Misses 1 1 at tie Morris, Marie Hoham and Helen Disher entertained about thirty guests Friday evening at the home of Miss Morris, in honor of their guests Miss Krwin, of Bourbon; Miss Tabor, of Argos; Miss KUiot, of Cay8on, 111.; Miss llolman, of Rochester; Miss Chenoweth, of London, O.; and Mr. (Iriswold, of Hearts Grove, O. Music was discoursed by the Milten berger orchestra throughout the evening, and Miss Chenoweth charmed all with delightful vocal selections. Miss Hoham and Miss Tabor also added to the felicity of the eveniug by instrumental selections. A novel feature of the entertainment provided by the hostesses was a terrific sham battle waged through the halls and parlors by the guests, divided into companies. A great victory was won. After refreshments were served, the guests repaired to the porch, where dancing took tho place of the milder forms of amusement and was indulged in until a late hour. Impaled upon a Keuca. Last Thursday afternooi terrible accident occurred near Westville, Laporte county, which resulted in the death ot Lew Chenau, a young man of twenty years and well and favorably known in the neighborhood in which he resided. The details of the sad event are most distressing. The deceased was working on tbe farm of his brother-in-law, Fred Haginaugb, and was in the loft of the barn mowing hay. The loft was in two divisions, one lower than the other. lie threw his fork to the lower division and jumped down. The handle of the fork entered the rectum and literally impaled him. His agonized cries for help brought assistance and he was liberated from his awful position, lie was found to be disemboweled and lingered in great misery until Friday afternoon when he died at the home of his brother-in-law.

The Plymouth City band gave one of the tinest musical concerts Thursday light , corner of Michigan and Laporte streets, that was ever heard in Hy-

mouth. The selections were exceptionally hne and beautifully rendered. A stand was erected in the middle of the street, which made it much more convenient for the players and the

tremendous audience. It can now be positively assertea mat riymoutn nas ! one of the best musical organizations in the state. Every member is an artist in that line, and the direction of Mr. John Harris would be difficult to excel. Indiana lay at the school. On Dec. 11 will occur the eightysecond anniversary of the admission of Indiana as a state. Superintendent Meeting of the department of public instruction went to Latayette yesterday to discuss with the managers of the soldiers' home an idei he has of making the day one of celebration in the schools of the state and having each scholar bring a penny toward a cottage to be erected on the grounds of the home. I he sum of $ti500 would be raised in this way. Mr. Geeting suggests that the day be celebrated each year in the state by appropriate exercises in the schools. Should tne idea be carried out, the cottage will be dedicated on Dec. 11 next year. This Mean ou. Certonal and Confidential. Do you know what a piano is? Can you play one? If not, do you like to hear others play ? Do you own one? If not, why not ? Would you like to own the best and sweetest toned piano in the world; that was used by every mistress of the White House from Mrs. Grant to Mrs. Cleveland ? If the price was very low and the piano guaranteed, by a piano manufacturer worth over a million dollars, to be as good or better than the best ever made, would that be satisfactory ? Would you like to buy at your own price and on your own time without giving a note; we considering the instrument itself as security until paid for, but delivering it to you at once? If so, and you own or rent a farm or are earning 98 a week, there is no reason on earth why you may not own the sweetest toned piano ever made, at a small price, and pay for it so gradually that you will never miss the money. Besides, if you have an old organ, we can pay a good price for it and work it off on our cheap, southern, wholesale trade. But if you want a really cheap piano, to cost not over S25 to Sou, and still can give out some pretty fair music, then write to us, for we are taking in second hand pianos of every make, all over the city of Chicago, in exchange for our peerless Bradbury pianos and these we sell mighty cheap and recommend them to be good for the price, from 825 up. Yesterday will never come again and you never yet, in all your life, saw a tomorrow. Therefore write today for full information, direct to the manufacturer at the Chicago wholesale headquarters for the West. F. G.

The Good Ship. The Independent is under obligations to John V Parks for a copy of the London 'England) Daily Chronical

which contains a grahc account of the I lire on board the good ship Catelonia which sailed from Boston July 1st hav ing ou board the United States delegates to the International Sunday school convention. John W. Parks and wife of this city were among the passengers. The tire lasted from 10 p. m. to 3 a. m., when the passengers were ordered to their state rooms. The London Chronical adds: Next morning after devotional exer cises, the delegates and other passengers joined in a suitable memorial to the captain, otlicers and crew for their conduct at the critical time. In addition it was decided to present the captain with a liible to cost no less than twelve dol lare, and a subscription of i?300 was raised for the crew. When the presentation of the memorial and subscriptions were made, Captain Stephens called upon his men to give three cheers for President McKinley, and the delegates responded by singing "God save the (Jueen." Third Uthcer Capper, who was conspicious in the work of ex tmguishing the lire, was carried shoulder high. It is remarkable that on Friday, after land had been sighted, the cotton again ignited, but the smouldering bale was at once discovered and thrown overboard.
