The South Rend Times says a local dentist recently had a cleaning up of his place and sent his old carpets, etc , to a Chicago firm that subjected them to a process, which caused the remittance to him of 817 as his share for the old gold, etc., discovered by the process resorted to.

A canvass of Frankfort's population shows that city to contain 11,108 people. The mostremarkable fact in connection with this enumeration is that the first can vasB showed 108 empty houses in the city, and when a few weeks afterward a second canvass was made there were but eight. It is claimed that nearly all of the houses which were reported vacant at the first canvass were occupied by families coming from other places, bo that there has been an increase of several hundred in the population in a few weeks.

A young lady in the west part of town sat on the front porch for two hours the other night waiting for the kissing bug to come along.

Starke county parties estimate that to drain the Kankakee valley and straighten the river will cost about 8500,000 but an imrnenee stretch of land that is now idle would be opened to cultivation.

The Michigan City base ball club is proving an unprofitable enterprise to its promoters, like all such amateur organizations do, and the directors and stockholders will hold a meeting this

week to decide the luture of the club. Manager Mul'z is willing to take the

team and finish the season on his own ! account and that is perhais the beet solution of the problem. Dispatch. A pedestrian in outlandish makeup pissed through our city this morning. He was a audi in dirt and rage Hin clothes were 6t; lirh, weather-beaten and filthy beyond teecription. An impressive figure of faded swelldom he made, with his aristocratic manner and his poor apparel. He lacked not style for he held his coat across his arm in the precise and delicate manner of a connoisseur. The dainty cigarette reposing between his lips rather proved him to be one of that set which polite society calls Rohemians. Whatever his station or mission, he stopped not a moment in Plymouth but drilled on through town toward the north. The Rremen Echools open Sept. 11th. Kxtensive repairs in the building have been made, a new laboratory fitted up, the heating system overhauled, and an additional teacher employed.

The ball game between Ft. Wayne and Rremen at the latter place yesterday was tame. Rremen won easily by a final score of 10 to 2. A number of our citizens witnessed the contest. One of the evidences of the royal sport in which Lew McDonald has been participating for the past week is a fish which he brought back, measuring, we are told, over three feet in length and 17 inches around.

The teachers for the schools have all been engaged and they are making preparations to begin active and ellective work. Dixon lake is becoming famous as a li6hing place. Several fishermen have recently made big hauls there. Nearly every body of water responds bountifully to the hook and line at present on account of the protracted absence of rain. Draughts make fishing an easy task, say the old fisherman. Mr. and Mrs. James McDonald left for South IJend this morning where they have made preparations for a permanent residence. Plymouth regrets this move on their part as they have been two of the animating factors here for years. They will be missed by those students and lover? of music who have intrusted eo much to them. Mrs. McDonald will hereafter visit Plymouth weekly as she still holds a class here in music. The big stories of how some boys have been catching fish with their hands in the shallow parts of the river revives many experiences in the memory of old timers. Years ago, upon one occasion the race which supplies the old llour mill was drained. A number of boys, now grown men, can remember when they waded around in the little water which remained and captured every kind of fish from a pike to an eel. The whole town ate fish the next day. When C. T. Mattingly drained a portion of Muckshaw, a few years ago, the surface left exposed was literally covered with water life of all sorts. Catfish, big turtles and water-snakes were especially plentiful. Opening of City School. High school pupils will be in attendance on Friday, Sept. 15, at 1:30 p.m. All other pupils on Monday, Sept. 11, at any time between 8 and U:30 a. m. Pupils who have attended other schools but were not in the Plymouth schools last year will be in attendance also on Saturday. Sept. 9, at i a. m., at the Washington school building. The schools are free to all persons of ages lrom six to twenty-one years who are actual residents of the city of Plymouth. All other pupils must bring cer tificates of transfer from the school trustee of the corporation in which they reside, or they must pay tuition, in advance, at the rate of 83 per month in the High school and Sl.uO per month in other grades. Tuitions may be paid to Wm. M. Kendall. Pupils who live outside the city limits and nearer to the school building in Plymouth than to the building desig nated for them to attend in their own corporation should make a written ap plication to their own trustee for a transfer to the city, upon the ground that they can be better accommodated by the change. If the transfer is refused by the trustee, an appeal may be taken to the county superintendent, and also to the state superintendent. The law requires that every child of age from six to fourteen years who is not physically incapacitated shall attend some school, either public or private, for a period of time equal to that in which the public schools are in session. As required by law, the board of school trustees of the city of Plymouth have appointed Dr. U. It. Reynolds as the physician to certify to the physical incapacity of children. R. A.
