The council is republican by une majority.

TAtitiAKT IS ELECTED

INDIANAPOLIS CHOOSES HIM A THIRD TIME FOR ITS MAYOR. His Majority Will Kxc-ed :iOO VotesFirst ItctiirtiH Were Favorable to ItookWHlter )ut Iii' Title Turned With Later Keport A lnrveIuiH Victory. Tom Taggart was elected mayor of Indianapolis for a third term Tues day, by a majority between 3tX) and 50) vites. It id probable that the eutire democratic ticket will go with him, though this could not bo delinitely known until the complete vote was tabulated, lutense enthusiasm was displayed over the result by Indianapolis people. It is generally conceeded that the election ot Taggart was an "upper cut" to the corporations. Every pos6ib'e inlluence was brought to bear to deleat Taggart eviu the In dianapolis News which had supported him ardently in former campaigns, turned about face and did its best to defeat him, but with it all, he conies out victorious as usual. This election has been watched with great interest by politicians in all p-irts of the state, as it is likely to inlluence considerably at the election next year. The democrats of the state have a just cause to feel jubilant over the result at Indianapolis. Dr. Wilson In Ieal. At twenty minutes past 1 o'clock p. m. Tuesday, after an illness lasting only eleven days, Dr. Wilson died. He was born to Walter and Eliza beth Wilson in Shelby county, Indiana, February 5, 183S, and was 01 years, 8 months and 5 days old. He lived in Shelby county until 14 years of age, when he moved with his parents to Laporte county. From that time until he was about 28 years old he occupied "umself with farmine and teaching school, when he entered Uryant & Stratten'a commercial college in Chicago. From here he went to Ann Arbor and took up the study of medi cine in which he graduated about 1872, a classmate of Hon. ('has. Keilison Previous to this, Sept. 2 1871 he was married to Misa Elizabeth Hay, of New Carlisle, Ind., and upon his graduation from Ann Arbor they moved to Argos where he began the practice of his fav orite profession. In July 1878, he removed to this place and has made it his home ever si'ice. Dr. Wilson was the eldest in a family of live children, four of whom were boys (iarrett M. and John N., of this city, and Eli J. and Albert, of New Carlisle. The only sister, Mary, died about ten years ago at the age of 41) The wife of Dr. Wilson left mortality on rov. in ot last year, almost one year ago. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson have no descendants, though since the death of his father in Nov. 18'J3, their nephew, John Hay, hat made his home with them. Twenty-one years of his professional life has Dr. Wilson passed in this city and in that time he had won for himself the reputation of being one of the most conscientious, upright of men, and of the best informed and most intellectual of our physicians. His knowledge of medicine and euri?ery has been recog nized by many of those whose opinions are infallible, he being at the present time medical examiner for the New York Life Insurance company and railway surgeon for all three of the railways passing through Plymouth He has been at all times devoted to his profession. He was to have read, Tues day, a paper before the convention of the Pennsylvania railway surgeons at Pittsburgh. He was a Mason, both Knight Tern plar and Hoyal Arch, and the rites of the lilue lodge were performed at the funeral; the physicians of this city act ing as pall-bearers. They Kxcliaugeri Valise. Judge Hess and Frank Nicolay had an experience that caused them con sideranle anxiety while in Chicago. They both left Plymouth on the same train and somehow or other got their valises exchanged iu the Plymouth de pot. They resembled each other very much and in consequence neither discovered the mistake until they reached their separate destinations, and then neither knew whose valiee he had. Mrs Hess had purchased a cape which she had placed in her grip to take along as a present for her daughter, and Frank Nicolay had dressed three nice, fat squirrels and was taking them over to his wife who is in a hospital there. When Mrs. Hess reached her daughter's home, she told her that die had a pres ent for her in the grip and asked the daughter to open it. Imagine the general surprise as Bh pulled out the squirrels. Also imagine Frank Nicolay's surprise upon seeing a nice cape iu bis grip in exchange for three squirrels There were no marks of identification in either grip, except some Plymouth papers in which the goods were wrapped. All sorts of ideas were hatched as to whose valisj had gotten into the judge's hands but it never occured to him until Mbnday that he might have exchanged with Nicolay. Well, to make a long story short, the

judge had a nice dinner of squirrel, as he reasoned that it would be better to eat tlem than to have them spoil. Hoth are home now, and the exchange to the rightful owners was made this morning. The judge and Frank each accuse the other of being drunk.

The fair aud town are be ing run wide open to everything and the town as well as fair grounds are crowded with every attraction imaginable. Over 40 fast horses have arrived. The fair is the largest ever known in its history. A wild west show and a midway are among some of the at tractions daily.

Do you know their school environment, their relations with teacher and schoolmates, and customs at the school? Do you know whether they are permitted to leave tne room when necessary? If you don't you aie neglecting your duty as a parent. All cnildren are not alike physically or mentally, yet the necessities of our public school system require that 40 or 50 boys and girls, no matter what their difference, practically require that they be treated alike. It seems strange that parents do not more often visit the schools and learn what is going on. Even if that is neglected parents ought to take enough interest in the development of their children to talk with them each day of what happened at school. And often a parent can help make clear what wasn't presented in the best light to the child by the teacher. History may be "hard" to one, geography to another and mathematics to a third. And it may be because the teacher couldn't appeal to the interest of the child in the right way. Yet the parent, with better knowledge of the child, might help wonderfully by devoting a few moments to it. We call to mind an instance where a young girl was dreadfully vexed about her grammar. She asked a question of her father one evening and he began to make clear to her what a noun was, a verb, etc. He finally got much interested in making it perfectly plain to the childish mind; he eot up aud began to walk the tloor and make explanations. The child grew interested to the point of excitement and finally clapped her hands with glee, her eyes sparkling with pleasure; and she exclaimed: "O, papa, how 1 wish you were our teacherl" Probably it never occurred to that father that he ought to be her teacher and supplement at home the work of the other teachers at school. And he ought to do more than that: he ought to go to school, talk with the teacher and help her to understand tbe child. He is also interested in knowing that the light, heat and ventilation, the sanitary arrangements and all the school surroundings are what they ought to be. liy the votes of parents members of the school board are elected to manage the schools, and it often happens that they are more interested in who shall sell books, fuel, desks and the like to the city than he is in the children and their surroundings. And there is more human happiness involved in the right care of children in the schools than there is in the election of Tom, Dick or Harry as governor of Ohio. Toledo Uee. Death of Harry Kuge. Word has been received by relatives here that Harry Huge died Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Davenport, Iowa. It is with much sadness that his many friends learn of his death. One year ago a stronger and more robust figure was not to be ceen in Plymouth than that of Harry Huge. He was born in Plymouth June 27, 1881, and was 18 years old his last birth day. When about lß years of age he stopped going to school and began work in Leonard's grocery store. From there h went to work for the U. S. Exprees company, and about a year ago assumed control of the (Jem cigar store. It was at this time that he contracted a severe cold which hastened the development of consumption. Once or twice since then had he gone west in search of health, and about a month ago moved with Iiis mother to Davenport, Iowa. He had barely settled there than he became sick and was confined to his bed. The funeral will be held this afternoon ami the remains buried there. He Keturned the Shoel. (ioehen Democrat: Twelve years ago this fall, a coal shovel which was made to order for Dr. A. C. Jackson, was stolen from his barn near Hotel Hattle. The man who stole the article is not of the best reputation and has decided to join the church. Consequently he paid two saloon bills and returned the shovel last evening. Evidently it was a great burden upon his mind. Extra copies or the Head Light for ale at this otilce. tf

HKAK-KM) COLL1SON.

Several Trainmen Injured In the Accident lletween Columbia City and I.aru ill. In reference to the rear-end collision on the Pennsylvania line between Columbia City and Larwill which occurred early Monday morning tbe Ft. Wayne Journal-Oazette gives the following particulars: "The Pennsylvania company had ta bad rear-end collision near Columbia City Monday morning shortly after 2 o'clock. Owing to the dense fog the engineer of one freight train could not see the rear lights of another, which had been stopped by an accident, and crashed into it with his train. While third No. 78 was bowling along eastbound west of Columbia City, the ec centric on one of the engines broke and cut a hole in the air-brake ho6e. This stopped the train on top of a hill and it was too late for the flagman to go back and Jlag No.M, which was comintr close behind. The fog was very thick and the engineer of the second train did not see the lights on the caboose of the lirst until he was too clote to make a stop. As soon as he saw the lights he reversed the engine, and applied the air. but it was impossible for him to keep from the rear end of the first train. Engineer Frank Enslen was at the throttle of the second train's engine and with his fireman, C. II. Piatt, and brakeman Mason, jumped before the crash came. The fireman escaped un hurt, but the engineer and brakeman were bruised abcut the upper parts of their bodies. Fireman E. A. Journod, of the engine on the first train was hurt by jumping from the cab during the wreck. He sustained a severe concus sion of the brain, having alighted on his head. He was brought to this city and removed to his home. The caboose and eight freight cars of No 78, were wrecked. After plowing through the cars the engine of the sec ond train was turned over on its side, and live cars io-ided with beet were wrecked. The main and side tracks were blockaded, and tbe wreck train was called from this city. The wreck ing crew succeeded in clearing the track by l:3ö o'clock in the afternoon The early morning passenger traine from the west were delayed from two to four hours, while those coming later in the day were not held so long. The trains were compelled to detour by way of North Manchester. The freight service was demoralized all dav." A TK.WJIC I.OVF. AFFAIR. Former Nappanee Young Man Shoots In tended Hride and Himself. The body of Benjamin Jacobs, a jewish cierk, 22 years of age, is on its way to the former home of the young man at Nappanee from Luliug, Texas where on Sunday Jacobs shot his in tended bride and suicided. It is un derstood that the tragedy was caused by a lovers quarrel. The young man was reared in Elk hart county. lie had an unusual num ber of warm friends at Gosben. He had expected to be married in a short time and was to have brought his bride to Nappanee on their wedding trip. The Melancholy liny. An exchange 6ays: The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year, when the frequent change of under wear keeps the house in constant fear When thoughts of the measley stove pipe cause men to wonder how he's go lng to do it justice and keep his christian vow. When the phantom of a coal bil as it appears to the business eye wil make a man forget the Maine, as it knockB his accounts awry. Mid froet and rain, storm and snow, some days warm and murky, he wondeis where iu thunder he'll get the Thanksgiving turkey. Hard to Tell Who is Who. Henry Watterson says Dewey should not bo nominated on the democratic ticket because he Is a republican. That's nothing. General (irant was nominated on the republican ticket, whereas he had alwavs been a democrat. We are not advocating Admiral Dewey, but a little thing like politics should not cut much of a figure. In this day and generation it is pretty hard to tell who is a democrat and who is not. -Ft. Wayne Sentinel. An Fnj;Iisli Newspaper Custom. It is a curious fact that all the newspapers published in London, England, charge for publishing every iUm iu their paper, personal mentions, society notes, marriages, deaths, births and everything pertaining to their news and personal column, so if you ever receive a London paper containing a marked notice of some friend of yours, you can count it down that ne paid for the good things said about him. W. C T. U. Meeting Fnded. The state convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union closed at Marion, Tuesday. Much of the unfinished business was referred to the executive committee. Indiana Iscked 21 members to secure the national banner. The following department superintendents were elected: Evangelization, Mrs. E. M. Haughtotj; mother's meetings, Mrs. S. M.

Foot ball was condemned. MOW I ACTOKY TO COME. CitireiiH of Plymouth Asked to ulticrile Here is a chance for Plymouth to se cure a factory. Negotiations have been pending for several months. The parties have been here several times, oar city and its advantages have been 6hown to them, and thev are well m pleased with this place as a locatiju for their factory and their families to live in. They have submitted a proposition to the directors of Business Men's association, which has been favorably passed upon. The proposition is now ready tor the citizens, and the responsibility is left to them to say whether we shall secure this enterprise or uot. The company proposes to purchase the Bicycla Plant aud put up au additional building 40xti0. They ask of our citizens the sum of 82,000. They agree to employ not less than an average of fifty men (no boys or girls) per month, twelve months in the year and to remain here at least five years. They propose to manufacture grinding machines and hardware specialties and to do a general foundry and machine work. This institution is a successful one and has been constantly growing and it is safe to predict that by the time the second year comes around they will be employing at least 100 men. MA ICS 11 FIKFS IllKMMi, Corn aud llav Crops Ilesttoyed Aloug the Kankakee. Mar6h fires are causing heavy iosees in Northern Indiana counties, and an immense area has been burned over in the Kankakee region.

The lo6B has not been estimated. .Marl Found in Larane County. State Geologist Blatchley says that the finest deposit of marl he has found is near Wolcotville, in the southern part of Lagrange county. It covers 1,000 acres and the bottom could not be reached. It is much whiter than ordinary marl. "We have not tested its puiity yet," said he, "but I am eatsified that it is of the most excellent quality." Mrs. I'llery Injured. Mrs. Stephen Ullery was badly hurt in a runaway accident several days ago. She had just returned from a trip east on the Ohio excursion, and on her way home west of the city her horse frightened and the accident followed. Her shoulder was dislocated and her arm broken.
