The amount represented is 2.00 which might have been put in the compass of two square inches bad dollar stamps been used. It is calculated that the Recorder's otlice of Marshall county furnishes a year to the war revenue fund. Taking Marshall as a good average county, we find that the IPS like otiices in Indiana must contribute a sum near 8X0,000. Law abiding sportsmen are complaining that unscrupulous pot huuters are violating the quail law. No quail can be lawfully shot until after Nov. 10. Unless more strict adherence to the law be maintained hereafter some one is destined to trouble. Last Wednesday, Rev. John Appleman united O. M. Clark and Ella Burns in marriage at Burr Oak.

The Bremen fair begins Tuesday, Sept. 27th and continues three days. The managers are making special efforts to have this year's exhibits attractive and the races exceptionally good.

The police, of Muncie, arrested Cyrus Wilkinson, Monday night. He is suspected of knowing something about the William B Stoll murder. The ar rest was biought about by stories told by Wilkinson. The Herald representative has just interviewed the suspect, who denied knowing anything about the eise, other than he saw Mr. Stoll in the Webster place at 10 o'clock on the Saturday night previous to the murder. It will be remembered that the murdered man was a brother of editor StoU of the South Bend Times. Plymouth and a part of the surrounding country has a thrifty crop of sand burs and weeds. An observer remarks that the sand bur crop has tripled itself in less than three years. They are more pernicious than Canada thistles. The Canada thistle may be distinguished from the earliest period in is growth, but sand burs come up in the guise of tender grass. Under the present administration there are not enough funds appropriated to keep the weeds from commons and highways in Plymouth. At that rate Marshall county will not have long to wait until it becomes a veritable Stark.

While tearing up a bundle of old lum ber on the Orpans' Home p-operty, Jim Miller came aeross a sign wh ch dates back fifty years or more.

His first words embodied a sermon on punctuality. He next refered to a change that he desired to make in the established order of things. Under an existing ordinance the mayor s power in appointing committees is limited. Hie honor contended that the mayor should have the right of changing committees whenever he thought it conducive to the general good of the public. Un the strength of these words an ordinance was Iramed which dissolved all existing committees and gave the mayor unlimited power to appoint new ones. The ordinance received the favorable report of the ordinance committee and was passed on to its second reading. Mayor Jones appointed the following committees: Finance Dickinson, Reynolds and Walls. Auditing -Walls, Kuhn and Reynolds. Accounts Reynolds, Dickinson and Walls. Police Morris, Ilairis and Kuhn. W ater Works- Wails, Dickinson and Harris. Sewers and Drains -Morris, Reynolds and Dickinson. Streets, Alleys and Telephones -Morris, Reynolds and Harris. Electric Lights Walls, Harris and Morris. Fire Department Kuhn, Dickinson and Harris.

Shunk presented a petition in the early evening announcing that the term of otrice for city attorney had expired and asking to be appointed to that position. Attorney Hess immedi ately chalanged his first stitement, saying that the city attorneys term of office was four years and that he, the present attorney had filled the place but two years. Mr. shunk explained that the ordinance had expressly stated the year '04 should be the begining of the term and thus with four yeare for each term his time would expire in 'US. He also recalled that Judge Hess had been appointed to li 11 out the unexpired portion of Atty. Logan's term. Judge He6s retorted by citing to a recent case where a city treasurer had been likewise appointed and being forced to law had proven that he not only had a right to remain in oflice during his predecessors unexpired term but that he could fulfill his duty for a length of time covering the original term. Judge Hess held that this state of things held true in every otlice of appointment but not in otiices of election, like the mayor's. However, the council acted in an impersonal manner and framed an ordinance appointing Mr. Shunk as attorney. When the vote was called Dickinson and Kuhn answered no and Reynolds, Morris and Harris voted in the affirmative. The controversy between the two attorneys may tind its ultimation in the courts. A petition was presented to have Center street between Jackson and Harrison cut down and spread out. I nder past orders it was being Glied up. As the 6treat is already higher than the property along it and very uneven the difficulties were but multiplied by such a procedure. Capt. Houghton

j made a good speech upon the subject before the council. The council voted to suspend operations on the street for the present. A petition was offered for extending the water works mains past the brick plaining mill and south. The petition was refered to the proper committee Ira Lauer applied for a bill posters lfbense. An ordinance creating such license was framed and referred to the proper committee. J. R. WEST. ififfti.iifi We are now showing the Latest and the Most Popular De-
