The protracted meeting at Inwood seems to be destined to continuation indefinitely. Over a hundred converts, it is said, have been added to the church already and the attendance grows larger than ever. "A Turkish Bath'" was presented at the opera bouse last night and Wj8 greeted by a fair sized audience. The performace was up to th9 average of those which have showed in Plymouth thip winter. It was not a play as the name might indicate, but consisted in the main of sketches, songs, dance, etc. The 4th U. S. Regiment arrived at Gibraltar Feb 1st, after an uneventful Toyage across the Atlantic. There has been but four cased of sickness and one death, so far. The Matshall county boys with the regiment are not among the unfortunate ones. Today their ship was steaming across the Mediterranean in the direction of Cyprus. Jacob Wise, a farmer of Jackson township, Carroll county, has 6old to Langdon & Son, of Frankfort, S1.000 worth of walnut timber, which the purchasers will work up into gun stocks on a contract from the government.

In the state's statistics there are some queer figures given. It 19 shown that 25,043 marriage licenses were iesued during 1898 and that. 2,81)0 divorces were granted.

A young man, who is well known in this city, Mas made the victim of a practical ioke last evening. Several days ago he received a bogus letter portending to be from an aUructive lady of good standing. The letter stated briefly that the writer was enamored with him and was willing to meet him at a certain designated spot. Now, the heartless jokers, unwilling to dissapoint him, dressed a fine looking lad in womans Clothes and stationed the "her" to await

The scene which followed was rich and rare, until the craehiDg, crushing roar or a hor6e laugh told him that he had been "sold." Yesterday afternoon, about 3:30, a team of unbroken colts ran away ith Carl Reynolds and Enoch Mow in the carriage bej.ind them. Atter dashing down Michigan street, at a rate wholly indescribable on paper, they collided with a tree in frnt of Dr. Bower's residence. The tongue of the carriage was shattered a9 though it had b.en a glass rod, and both horses tumbled one on top of t -e other in an ignominious heap. Strancely enough, the occupants of the carriage remained unharmed, but it was a narrow escape. Spain kept in army of 20,000 soldiers on the Philippine island in order to render submissive the natives. It will probably require a like number by the United States to keep these people out of the opportunity to govern themselves. The expense will have to be 'torne by the people, while a favored few trusts and monopolies will receive all the profits of the result of our exploiting. The workers will pay the freight, while the chosen few will reap the benefits. Such is one of the results of imperialism in the home of the brave and the land of the free. From Saturday's Daily. Mrs. R. M. Morrill is reported very ill with typhoid fever. A tine line of dried fruit for 5 cents per pound at Jacox'e. 6dlw L. Hays and wife of Aurora 111, are visiling Henry York in the country.

The Indiana state association of veterans of the Mexican war will hold their bi ennial meeting at Indianapolis on Washington's birthday. U. S. Lemert, who live9 in Tyner, was in the city today.

The old Libby prison which was removed from Richmond Va., to Chicago in 1888 at an expense of about $50,000 and which was rebuilt on Wabash avenue in the latter city is about to be torn down as it does not pay. Fanner's Institutes are the beginnings of a work that means th- economy of many thousands of dollars tu our agricultural population.

The building will be five stories high, 200x200 f--et in ground dimensions snd will be built of native boulders, with rec' tiled roof. It will be fire proof. Our redoubtable marshal, Tom Cheney, cives a thrilling description of the wrestling match between Ilali Adali and Pietro De'mas, which he witnessed at South Bend yesterday The job on hand for the Turk was by no means a soft snap, but he succeed-d in downing his adversary in just four and one half oainu'es from the start. Both men were sweating copiously and it seemed as though their bodies were 6meared with grease. It was a splendid combat but Tom thinks he hs seen its equal in our own city among local gladiators. Clyde Sroyer, a young man living near Bremen, met with a severe accident on Tuesda afternoon. He was walking along the road to a neighbors, when he met an ftquaintance driving along the road with a load of cord wood.

The young man was crushed to the frozen earth where he lay until the wood was removed from him.

Last week two horses escaped from the herd then in this city. Today noon they were found several miles in the country where they had strayed and been pastured by a farmer. The S. and S.

While attending to some horses in the stable yesterday, Ford Reynolds was kickd by one of them on his arm. At first it was supposed the arm had bten broken, but a c'ose examination showed the injury to be n thing more than a bad bruise. He will be on the sick list however, at least fcr a short time. A letter from Jake Boss states that most of the Americans in the the Philippines have become acclimated. While he cites 123 or more cases of sickness under his charge several months ago, he says that the number on trie sick list now is only 25 His letter was of course written before the ter nble baUle of last Friday or he might have commented interestingly upon it.

Last week Dr. Wilson and his nephew John Hay paid a visit to their cottage at Pretty lake. They discovered that it had been broken into, and showed evidence of habitation by tramps. Two big matresses were piled together in one corner of a room, making in themselves a nice bed, and the carpet had been ripped from the floor to serve the place or comforters and blankets. Here and there weia marks of grease and dried up leavings of the table, showing that the occupants had evidently kept house, and had remained there longer than a single day or week. The doctor thinks that they might have left the cottage in a better condition, considering that they paid no rent.

Death of Louis N'eak. Louis Neak, a former resident of Bremen, who was taken to the insane hospital at Indianapolis sixteen years ago, and eome years later removed to the insane asylum at Logarsport, died at that institution at an early hour Wednesday morning, Feb. 1st, 181K), at the age of fifty-eight years.

Cases have been entered against seven township trustees for not publishing full lists of expenditures -is stipulated by law.

Case has been 6et for Feb. 14th. Stolen Harness Found. Labt Saturday, while scrutinizing va rious teams hitched along the streets, Albert Weber discovered the harness which was stolen from him last fall. He inquired after the o.vner and found him to be P. 1. Grube. When Albert claimed the harness Mr. Grube objected emphatically. He had purchased it in Stark county and would not part with it. After a few words, which though few, were none the less emphatic, Albert hastened to the justice and got a replevin. In company with Marshal Cheney the two went to Mr. Grut.e's house in the country to obtain the harness. The latter did not relish the sntrusion for he met them in a defiant manLer brandishing a pitch fork. For a moment the oilijer hesi'ated, then he quietly reached his hand into his pocket and brought forth a shining six-shooter. Peter submitted, and the harness were carried away. Next day a search warraot was issued, and a part of the harness which had previously been hidden, was found and added to that which they had taken the day before. Rathbone Sisters Meet.

The re port 8how6 the main trunk of the ditch to be ten miles long, while the laterals foot up 06 miles. The proposed drain will lower the water from six to seven feet in High Bear, Long, Muncie, Port Mitchell and several smaller lakes, and will reclaim over 50,000 acres of swamp and marsh lands. The total benefits as-essed to the lands through which the drains are to be constructed amount to 692,000, while the estimated cost is $75,000. Court IIoue Fight. The court house fight in Laporte county is growing decidedly warm. Thus far Michigan city has trie best of it, the bill for a superior court building in tnat place having passed the house of the general assembly. Laporte is down at Indianapolis with a big delegation headed by ex-Lieut. Gov. Nye armed with facts and figures to show how cruel it would be to the tax payers of the county to build another court house when the one they have cost so much and it is only about one-third paid for. Laporteans are certain they can defeat the bill in the senate. Same via Washington.
