"Farmers are coming to the conclusion that hay is the most profitable crop they cau raise says an exchange. "The hay crop has grown shorter every year, and consequently it brings a biz price. Hay is one crop that does not require very much attention and the proGt is large, and another thing is that good hay is always in demand, and it meets with ready sale." The commissioners today proved the tax for the city of Plymouth. The petition of Jacob Walmer, of Bourbon, for a liquor license was set for 10 o'clock but was postponed till after noon wnen it war appealed to the circuit court.

Among the speakers at the campfire of the Ninth regiment was Byron A. Dunn, city treasurer of Waukegan, 111. Mr. Dunn was a college classmate of Supt. Chase. They had not met since graduation some thirty years ago. It is needless to say that college days were revived with much satisfaction. These gentlemen lay the fUtteiing unction to their souls that they did their little part to keep the world moving while they were in college. The business of the Pennsylvania company is a great surprise to the oUicial8, who were not expecting such heavy tratlic in September and early in October, months that are not usually productive in that line. Every engine and car owned by the company is moving continually, and were it possible to supply the demand the company could use double ita present eqipmeut. On Sunday G33 west bound and 591 east bound cars passed through 1'lymouth, and these figures do Dot include empty cars.

It was largely attended and was indeed a sad occasion, n(j yet there was to her famiiy and friends much relief from the fact that her years of suffering are ended, that she left this cold dark world to enter one where the sun ever shines and troubles cease.

THE PLOT THICKENS.

FALSEHOOD OF PLYMOUTH PRIS' ONERS IN VAIN. Tolil I'ooliMli Lie SlifrilV Inrlinll in Now HoiiiK Some lt-l- t i Work on tiie Chm'-I in 'oiiinniiii-at ion Willi sturK Otli-r. Conscious of their peril if taken to Michigan to answer to the charge of murdering Night Otlicer John Craig at Sturgis, Body Hader and John Plough have perpet rated a filly falsehood which is one of the most startling facts in the net of evidence which is gradually being woven around them, fastening upon them the charge of murder. Realizing that the hon?e stolen by the StUfgH murderers w as found near Honey villthe next morning and that the crime t stealing John (larber's horse is fastened upon them, Raiier and Blough have concocted a fabrication so transparent as to be humorous in 6pite of their sorry predicament. They have admitted the theft of the (Jarber horse, but undertook an alibi in the Sturgis murder case, which h3s fallen already for want of strength in the way of substantiating facts to sus tain its lhmsy weight. They 6tate that on the night in ques tion they hired a livery rig at (ioshen "from that liveryman northeast of the square," and drove to (iarber's and stole the horse and returned to (ioshen toward the next mojning. Deputy Shenll Chatten, of (ioshen, when apprised of this fact made a care ful and patient investigation. He went to the livery barn of E. It. Lacy, the one described and found that there was nothing in the story offered by the thieves. But Deputy Chatten was not ready to give up the matter without giving the thieves a chance to prove tbeir gtory So he hag inve6tigated tne the other barns and finds that Blough ancj Hader hired no livery rig in (Joshen that night. The belief is erowioe that they were concerned in the Sturgis murder. It is known that thev were there the dav of the murder and their attempt at divert ing the belief as to their whereabouts was certainly not purposeless. They must want to serve a term at Michigan i & Ii : . & J." auu lu murgis mauer uie uut of memory. Sheriff Marshall has been in constant communication with tne Stureis and (ioehen authorities and is pretty well satisfied that they have the right theory. The prisoners have not yet been ap prised of the net work of evidence against them. at Tin: cm iu uns. ST. PAUL'S UKFOKMKl) CHURCH. Average audiences present. The morning theme was an answer to the question: What is a Christian? an exposition of Mk. 8:34-38, in which Christ himself defines the character istics of true discipleship as self-denial, cross-bearing, self-Iosiug and self-find-ing. Self-sacrifice rests ultimately upon the truest possible estimate of self. It is not prompted by pride, and yet it is the result of a proper appreciation of one's own real worth in view of another's need The C E. meeting was led by Miss Minnie Zumbaugh. One new member " was received. The evening service centered in the thought of Mai. 1:2, "I have loved you, saith the Lord, and yet ye say wherein hast thou luved us?" UNITED BRETHREN. In the morning the pastor preached his first Bermon for the conference year, taking as a theme the "Rebuilding of the Wall About Jerusalem." Nehemiah was the leading spirit in the work, but all the people took part, in eluding priests, rulers, tradesmen and I those of every occupation and calling, and as a result of their united efforts the work was completed. So with this church during the conference year it will accomplish the work God has for it to do if all are united and the people have a mind to work. The evening theme waa "Morality'' based on the text, "What Lack I Yet." We should place a high estimate upon morality. Jesus did. When he looked upon the rich young ruler who asked the question of the text and heard him say respecting the commands of (Jod, A11 these have 1 kept from my youth up," he loved him. Hut morality is good for this world only and will not of itself admit us mto the kingdom of God here nor furnish us a passport into heaven when we die. At the Sunday-school, J. V.

The pastor announced that the order of service for public worship adopted by the last general conference would be followed by this congregation hereafter. The changes wt re inaugurated without any perceptible confusion and all seemed to enjoy the responsive work. The solo by Miss Jennie Steph ens was well rendered and fully en joyed by the congregation. She has a clear soprano voice and will sing with the choir hereafter.

Father honor." Jno. 12:2. Like most men of today the disciples had a misconception of honor, and the manner of its attainment. Jesus led them to see that honor is i.ot position nor preferment nor applause of men. It is not a gift to be bestowed, but a virtue to be recognized. It is brought to light in eervice and here men eee, acknowledge and reward it. Honor is to be seen not iu acquiring a position out in nooiy filling it. The road is open to all who will serve. Dewey was honored not in his appointment, nor by recent demon strations, nor that valued gift of con gressbut by his heroic fervice. God owns and honors service. Men may fail to recognize worth, but God never fails. A thousand times better to be owned and rewarded of God than of men. The Sunday-6chool was large and crowded. The interest is growing. A new class of young men was organized and taught by the pastor. The Epworth league was led by Miss Shakes. PKESB YTKHI AN CHURCH. The services Sunday were well at tended. The morning sermon was from the words, "I counsel thee to buy j of me geld tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich." It is true that the best things of this world aroto be had only at the price of much effort. In the getting trials must be endured and burdens borne. The same thing is true of character. So the crucible is the teßt of value whether as to our possessions or as to what we are. He who expects to have anything worth the having, or to be anything worth the being, must pay the price. And the price is hard work, self denial, trials, burdens, afflictions. Man mupt be refined in the lire to be of value either to himself or to his maker. The evening sermon was upon "Japheth, his family and his religion." His descendants were a superior peopleversatile, idealistic, poetic, simpleminded Their highest development appeared iu the civilization of the ancient Greeks. The influence of the religion of his people upon mankind has been very great, and will continue to be. The Sunday-school had an interesting lesson yesterday. All entered earnestly into the ßtudy of it. I'KOISLKM IS .SOLVED. South IJeiul Church Provides for liable Iuriii Sunday Seri-e. A new plan for dealing with the vexed problem of what to do with the babies during church services was successfully begun at the First Baptist church at South Bend last Sunday and will probably be continued. A special committee of the young ladies appointed by the Young People's society cared for three babies taken last Sunday by mothers glad to attend church services. A room has been kindly granted at 212 W. Wayne street, opposite the church, and the young ladies meet the mothers at the church and relieve them of all care until service 16 over. Petit Jury.
