A man has to die before his will goes into effect; a woman's will goes into effect as soon as she expresses it, or she'll knotf the reason why. Mrs. Kline's spiritulistic circle last evening was a successful undertaking in every particular. Several wonderful manifestations were made. The Ross House now has a system of hot water heating that can not be ex celled in the state. Hot water in every room in the house is furnished by a boiler in the basement. A number of the Jacoby Reformed church congregation paid llev. Rothenberger and wife a visit in this city yesterday, bringing well-filled baskets. They report an enjoyable visit.

8 BUGGY. HARDWARE. o o From Saturday's Dally. Miss Maggie Steckman is confined to the house with bilious fever. Taylor Walker of Argos is reported quite sick with heart disease. Dun & I'arker have bought out the Moore Bros. drug store at Argos. Miss Mary South is sick at the residence of her father in the country. Frankie Anders has gone to Kokomo where he will go to school for the rest of the winter. The extraordinary demand for anthricite this weather has raise' the price 50 cents per ton. Mrs. C. T.

Farmers who live near railroad stations prefer riding to Plymouth by rail ratner than trusting their horses and buggies to eight or ten miles over the r ugh roads. Ligonier is claimed to be the smallest town in the world having an Elk lodge, says an exchange. The number of charter members exceeds any other lodge in Indiana. Rev. II. A.

Mrs. Jennie Erwin, of Borbon, has returned from a trip to Indianapolis and Union county in interest of the Farmers' Institute. She was in Plymouth today. A marriage license has been issued to Charles E. Hayes and Bertha E. Parker. These are two well known young people who reside in culver. Congratulations are going the rounds, of course. A Kokomo young lady swallowed a quantity of salt as part of a fortunetelling ceremony at a watch party. New Year's eve, and it required the united efforts of the party to keep her from choking to death. An effort will be made to have a till passed in the legislature this winter extending the terms of county auditors to the 1st of January. The reason such a change is asked for is, it would be a more suitable time for the otlice to change hands. State Superintendent Geeting is in favor of a change In the manner of ex amining applicants for license to teach. He would have all manuscripts forwarded to state authorities to grade and pass upon. This would cut off favoritism. Charles Memberger, 27 years of age, who was found lying ty the New York Central tracks, near Buffalo, N. Y., last Friday, with his skull fractured, is dead. On the evening of the day on which he received his injuries, Memberger began to whistle, though he was wholly unconciou8 and remained so to the last. He whistled all Borts of tunes and without cessation for 05 hours, and never ceased until shortly before he died. To write an article for maids and mothers, and then to make it so interesting that it will rivet the attention of the fathers of maids and husbands of wives, is a guarantee of very wide reading. Professor Thurston Peck, of Columbia Universitv, has succeeded in doing this in the paper which he devotes to women in the January Cosmopolitan. I'rofessor Peck has a keenly analytical mind, and he weighs the pros and ons very carefully. His conclusions are tender and corapaesionate, but nevertheless very emphatic, It is a valuable contribution to "New Woman" literature.

Thomas H. Herrold, representative from Laporte, has a bill to exempt $300 for taxation, which he will introduce by request. Under this bill person not possessed of $300 worth of property would be exempt from taxation. New Albany Tribune: Some newspapers still persist in teaching that the 19th century will end with the year 1899 In the late campaign a popular speaker referred here to the election then near at hand as the last to be held in the 19th century. They are quite mistaken. The 19th century will end about a quarter of a second before the year 1901 begins. From Mondav Dally. A quarterly meeting will be held at Thomas school house next Saturday night. The January thaws, such as we are now experiencing, make the shoe trade boom.

Frank Stout is able to be about for the nst time in many weeks. He is not entirely well yet. Lew Suit has bought one of the best barber shops in Laporte. He went thither to take charge today. More marriage licenses: Jan. 7, John Richardson and Cecelia Beigles. Jan 9th, Edward Hill and Sarah Cudney. The Vandalia train from the north today noon was nearly an hour late on account of a wreck beyond South Bend. The bicycle show in Chicago is attracting many from Plymouth, but the crowds are not so large as in other years. It is no exageration to say that there are over 300 cases of the lagrippe in Plymouth. The infection is as virulent as a plague. II. Zears has opened up a fruit and confe:tionery store on North Michigan street. He has a display advertisement today that all should read. Two large engines which were mechanical wonders passed through here today enroute for the west, where they will haul heavy trains on the Sante Fe road. The jury who were dismissed last week until this date assembled again this afternoon. The case now before the court is a civil one, i. e., that of V. F. Ditmire against Francis Ditmire. It was brought here on a change of venue from Fulton county. The Kentucky girl, Mildred Vaughan, and who it is claimed is worth a million dollars, has begun proceedings for a divorce from her husband Frank Ball, the Benton Harbor barber, to whom she was wedded a week ago. She had been at Renton Harbor receiving treatment, and married the barber without the consent of her people, who insist upon the marriage being annuled.

l'rottper Mickey I Hurt. Last Sunday evening Prosper Mickey narrowly escaped death in an accident which happened at the L. E. & W. depot. He had pulled a truck, which was loaded with trunks, close alongside the track and was awaiting the arrival of the train. One of the cars protruded farther than he had allowed for and struck the truck with considerable force. At the same time the truck returned the blow on Mr, Mickey's back, sending him forcibly under some freight cars standing permanently on the side track. He was doubled up in a painful manner and received several sprains, bruises and cuts, which were distributed in different portions of his body. He received a bad gash on the head. Today he is confined to his house, and will probably remain there for some time. Death of Elizabeth Miller. Elizabeth Miller, aged 59 years, died at her home on the Laporte road, six miles west, last Sunday. Deceased was the daughter of Abraham Miller, who died several years ago. The fatal malady in the present demise was lung fever. The funeral was held at the Blissville church Tuesday at 11 a. m. Rev. J. F. Appleman officiated. The Wife and Her Hulttnrtt ltualneHit. "It is a cause of amazement to me that a man can go on, year in and year out, toiling for a family whose mem bers show no interest in his work further than to spend the money he makes, and who look on him as a family mint," writes Frances Evans in the January Ladies' Home Journal. "My firm belief is that had he, in the first (lush of married life, talked over his business and ambitions with bis wife, she would have become interested in both, first for his sake, and afterward for her own and their children's. Think of the gulf that lies between a man and woman united in marriage when he never speaks at home of the affairs which absorb his entire dayl Mutual interest will bind people together indissolubl j even when indifference, that dangerouti bridge of elgh.8, has swallowed up aflt ction,"

SCOURING INDIANA !

HANLY MEN GET OUT THEIR MOPS. Preparatory to the Wind-up of the Senatorial Itattle. Early ThU Week They are Feeling About in the Camps of the Enemy, Too, In a suspicious way Indianapolis, Jan. 9th. The past few days, reports have come to Indianapolis from many parts of the state of the tireless energy of the supporters of Hanly, who are riding the country over with petitions calling upon their representatives in the legislature to vote for J. Frank Hanly. No effort or expense is spared, if the word of those who bring in the report can be trusted. The necessity of heroic work, it is said, has caused the Hanly henchmen to scour every nook and corner of the rural districts to get signatures on petitions to be gent to ihe capital to inlluence senators and representatives in their votes for United States senator. The quietliving farmer, who has paid little attention to the Uli EAT SCRAMBLE AT THE CAPITAL and knows little of the candidates, not often refuses to sign a petition, it is related, when presented by one with whom he is acquainted. Almost every Hanly man of influence not at the capital, it is asserted, is leaving no stone unturned to bring inlluence to bear on the legislators. In two instances, representatives who do not like Hanly chose not to go home over Sunday, lest a howling mob of Hanlyites would bombard them with petitions prepared in their absence. Men who have been watching the work, ings say that Hanly's machine is one of the most complete they have ever seen in Indiana. The other day, when the Hanly men learned that Representative Willoughby, of Vincennes, had said things to lead tlum to believe that he would never vote for their man, they GOT HIM IN A KOOM and gave him a characteristic talk, in which he was told that he had better get on the band wagon if he wanted to run for office successfully hereafter, Willoughby just grinned his perennial grin, and, in speaking of the affair afterward, said in his drawling dry bumorous way: "Of course if I don't vote for Hanly, I'll never be able to run for office again, but I guess mebbe they won't try to keep a fellow from voting as 1 ng as they don't repeal the Australian ballot law." The Hanly forces were nervous Saturday morning. Several of them went home, Friday night, some to renew efforts for their chief and others to stay. One of them remarked at the Union station, Friday night, to one of his most intimate friends in another camp; "I'm going to get away before the land slide covers Hanly up-" Hitherto the Hanlyites have "claimed" everything in sight and HAVE SCOXED ALLIANCES, relying on the belief that the bandwagon inlluence would bring enough voters in line to eltt. In the past few hours feelers have been thrown out into three of the opponents' camps, showing that an alliance of some kind would be welcomed. Collector Henry, of Terre Haute, has appeared on the field for Hanly. I'artly through the influence of Geo. McCullough, Henry won his otlice. A Posey supporter in the legislature was approached by an alleged Henry agent and was offered an appointment, made vacant by the death of a man named Burke, who looked after the great Vin cennes distillery, on condition that he would vote for Hanly. THE LEGISLATOR BECAME ANGRY at the proposition and the matter leaked out. The story of the brewery and whisky interests raising a S25.000 pot for Hanly on condition that, in return, Hanly's strength in the legislature be exerted in their behalf, was the talk of the Deni son lobby, Friday night and Saturday. Crawford Fairbanks, of the Terre Haute brewing campany, has talked of Hanly and he was seen entering Hanly quarters, this week. As he is a democrat, a question was at once raised as to why he should be working for Hanly. It is pointed out that Keating & Hugg are the attorneys for the Terre Haute brewing company and that, the other day, Hugg represented what is known as the Associated breweries of Indiana in police court where AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE to drive out a representative of a brewery of another state. Kealing has been spending almost every hour of the day in behalf of Hanly and, it is said, has three or four legislators from Marion county in his wake. Dead Heat Law. Several merchants of Indianapolis have associated themeelves together for the purpose of securing the passage of a bill which is designed to protect them from "dead beats." At a recent meeting several plan were discussed and a start was made toward framing

a bill which win be at once mild and rigid in its effects. It u designed to make it a misdemeantr for any person to attempt to defraud a merchant out of a just clain and while the method of establishing the intent to perpetrate the fraud has not yet been fixed upon, it is thought that the hotel law will be largely drawn upon for ideas, which must, however, be necssarily modified to fit the case. The merchants are receiving the support of the collectors in this etl'ort.
