V ALL BLOCK PLYMOUTH (uockiss' m:w 1:11.1.. (ifurer' A iat ion WuiiU Change in Kxemptinii l.su. The State GrocerB association will ask the legislature to make 6ome changes iu the exemption law. The proposed law is similar to the one now in operation in Ohio, and provides that the 8000 exemption for householders he increased to $1,000 arid that the exemption be given not only to householders, hut to all classes of people who have minors, invalids or cripples to support, or aoy other person who would otherwise become a charge on the county or state. The exemption is made to cover real estate as well as personal property and is extended to every class of claims arising from contracte, judgments, etc., and to 2ö per cent of a man's gross earnings; also to euch of the necessaries of life as he may have on hand, including wearing apparel, necessary household furniture, provisions, bibles, hymn books, family picture? and tools and implements of his trade. Under the proposed law no employer can be exempt for any claim for labor. MISPLACED APOSTROPHE. Engraver Error Delays the Invitation. The invitations to the inaugural ball ol Governor Durbin were all ready for the mail, but Thursday morning the invitation committee found they could not be eent out on account of i misplaced apostrophe. Five thousand of the invitations are to be distributed. This number was engraved, the enve lopes were directed aad the work was prac'ically completed, when some one found an error in the second word of the first line. The first line reads: "The Citizen's Committee of Indianapolis." There was an active discussion among the members ot the committee whether the apostrophe in the second word ßhould be before or after the "s." It was decided it should be after the letter and the invitations have tobe printed over again. After the second printing the first line will read: "The Citizens' Committee of Indianapolis." New Year's Wadding. The first day of the new century was a happy new year for thirty-five or forty relatives assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Whitinger, of North township, the occasion being the mar riage of their daughter, Martha F.thel, (it twelve o'clock noon to John Whiteleather. Willis Logan, elder of the Church of the First Horn, officiated. After the greetings and well wishes of the guests among whom were Mrs. Joseph Fair, the sister of Mr. Whitinger, and her husband of Lohrville Iowa, they gathered around a table loaded with good things. There were many useful gifts and mementoes of of affection. 1'raises Plymouth Students.

After the program, which consisted of "An Evening with the Poets," the hall was left with the different clashes present, who spent the time in social conversation, songs, toasts and dancing. A most enjoyable time was spent, and when it comes to entertaining Plymouth takes the lead. Culver City Herald. A Dry December.

OX FUTURE OF PARTY.

MARSHALL COUNTY DEMOCRATS GIVE VIEWS ON PARTY'S WELFARE. lion. ( lias. p. Driiiuniond. Hon. Clay Yt. Metsker. Hon. !aniel McDonald and Peter .J. Krujer CJive Kxpresslon in the Indianapolis Sentinel's Jackson Day a to Their Views on Party Kvpedieuev. The following interviews on the future of the Democratic party appeared in Tuesday's issue of the Indianapolis Sentinel: Cliarle I. Druuiuiftud, Candidate for A ttorney-tieneial. The Republican party, ostensibly born in the uplifting and equalizing of human rights, has steadfastly fostered, protected and guarded the few at the loss and expense of the many. It is threfore the congenial Laven and fortress of all men who seek special advantages protected by law, whether these privileges assume the phase of tantr legislation, monetary legislation or grafts in the form of subsidies. Aristocracy of wealth is the result, and with it came intolerance, insolence, brilliancy and tinsel blazonry and a love of the gleam and splendor of mirching men and the blire of war. Democracy etill believes in "a fair field and an open race" to all. It bows to no clique of barons, whether they be manufacturers of commodities, exchatitis of money or subsidy grafters. Whea it yields up the rights of the whole community to obtain the favors and smiles of such men it forfeits its right to live. There is now a great hue and cry about the reorganization of the party. That is to say: "You have fought the battle of equal rights and lost to the hont who hold the fortress against them. Therefore reorganize by making your fortress as congenial to these favorites and as strong against the people a8 the Republican party does and you can win." This is the voice of the tempter. The Democra'ic party can "win" if it never elects a president. It can "win" as it won in tbe last, cam paign. It can, by its eternal and fear less advocacy of right, restrain the Re publican party from such outrages as joinins with "the powers" in the parti tion of China and the ratification of the Nicaracruau treaty and the passage of the ship subsidy bill. It "wins" by its conservatism in pro tecting and defending the country and by fearles9lv lighting torches on the hill tops when the country is in danger. For my own humble share, as a private in the trenches of that great party, I prefer to be found among the men who love principle more than the pyrotechnic flare and flash of a purchased and coerced entrance into otlice, as the measure of party success. As long as there are ten real democrats with the armor on, I seek no greater honor than to be numbered as one among them. As a matter of delicacy it might be well for the gentlemen who carried long, keen knives under their cloaks in the last two campaigns to let the blood of their party dry on their dripping blades before they come forth and urge "reorganiz!" Histciy fails to reveal an instance where the advice of traitors has re ceived serious consideration. The Democratic party has lived through the greater part of the history of our country. It will live on after the stabbers have gone their way into the quiet shades of "innocuous desue tude." Clay XV. Metsker, State Representative. Blind partteaniem of most republi cans, fictitious conservatism of some democrats and boodle in the hands of Republican party managers explains democratic defeat in 18U0 and PJ00. The same elements of power are likely to confront the Democratic party In the future, if the same general attitude of the party remains as at present. It is useless to try to make gains from partisan republicans. The so called conservative democrats will neither be coaxed nor forced into line with the democratic financial policies since 18. Personal interests are more to them than party loyalty. A small per capita money circulation is in harmony with their interests in that their money loaning advantages eclipse any interest they may have in business pur suits. They have demonstrated that they can and will defeat the party that contends for greater volume of circulat ing currency. Hence, after two defeats, I fail to see the advantage to the Democratic party of offering such pronounced antagon ism on these lines to this element of the party, because it is from them alone that we may even hope for re emits. Further, the party's antagonism to these men and their personal interests brings boodle galore to the republican committee, which always is effectively used against us. I have conscientiously defended the Chicago platform, advocating the policies set forth therein months prior to the Chicago convention la the paper that 1 was then publishing, but as a

party man, without surrendering a sin

gle portion of my convictions of the right and justice of the principles as advocated by the party in 1SU0, 1 fail to eee that it will be a pary expediency to continue to press the iseues that alien ate the very portion of the voting population that we may even hope to win to our party's support. The Democratic party is right on other issues, some of mere vital impor tance than are economic matters at present. Party expediency at this time commands that issues which have "divided the house against itself" should be Kept in the background and that criticisms of party leaders in the demo cratic camp, both of the present and cf the past, should be left exclusively to the venomous of the party in power. Right now, it seems to me, much de pends upon the magnanimity of the democratic leaders, if the future of the party is to bring brighter results. Dem ocratic victories in tbe future depend upon our ability to amalgamate the dillerences of those who are now and those who have once been democrats. There need be little fear of losing votes to the populists, whatever be the issues during the next campaign. Daniel M'Donald, Kditor Plymouth Democrat. The future Democratic party, as to whether it will ever again come into control of the government, depends largely on its local, state, and national management. The basic principles of the party are founded on the Declara tion of Independence ajnd the constitution of the United States, and are immutable and unchangeable, lam aware that it has recently, been said by a former distinguished democrat that if the party ever expects to6ucceed in the future it must go back to "first principles." It it would be considered im pertinent in an otecuie layman, 1 might say that the party has never wandered from the "first principles' It was right in 18 when it adopted the Chicago platform, and it was eternally and everlastingly right in H00 when it formulated the Kansas Citv declaration. The party needs no reor ganization so far as the principles are concerned. It is well rid of the desert ers and bolters of the last two presi dential campaigns, and any attempt at reorganization to placate these mal contents by going back to what thev call "Grst principles" would result in the dismemberment of I.- ; resent cr ganization and formation of a new party. At least that is the way it looks to "a man up a tree.'' From my point of view, what should be done, and that at once, is to reorganize the state and national committees and place men at their head in whom the rank and file of the party have implicit conOdence. Two overwhelming national defeats under the management of these committees is all the argument that is necessary to convince the most obtuse politician that a new deal is absolutely necessary if the democratic rooster is ever expected to crow. Peter J. Kruyer, Thirteenth District Committeeman. The Democratic party in Indiana, as well as the nation, is thoroughly organ ized and is in good shape toenter thecam paigns of PJ02 and 1904. In my opinion the future of the Democratic party never was brighter. The deserters of 1891, 1896, 1898 and 1900 are now nearly all known, to not only the democartic or ganizations throughout the land, but also to the rank and file of the party. A large per cent, of these deserters is now known to be republicans, while we have made g.xins from the opposition of bright and honest statesmen. The Dem ocratic party was completely wrecked by glorious (J rover in 1891. Since that time (only six years) it has steadily risen until it now has a thorough orgamza tion from stern to stern, and a larger following than it had in 1892, when we won our last victory. I believe the future is bright and our next effort will result In a complete victory. The Speakership. The speaker of the house always has more power in influencing legislation than the presiding otlicer of the senate. This arises in part from the smaller size of the upper branch of the legisla tu re, affording the presiding of.icer of that body a more limited dominion over which to sway his scepter, bat more largely from the essential and funda mental differences in the character of the offices. The speaker always selects the committees of the bouse. It not infrequently happens that the lieuten ant-governor is of a different party from a majority of the senators; in which event the senate selects its own committees and divests its presiding officer of all except his constitutional authority. The speaker never loses his Idenity aa a member of the house by being exalted to his high office. He votes on every question except where he expressly waives that privilege while the lieutenant-governor votes only in case of a tie. The speaker may, if he choose, make a speech on every proposi tioo that comes before the house. The presiding o nicer of the senate may speak but very rarely does so and the privilege itself is based rather on the courtesy of the senators than on any warrant in parliamentary procedure. Retiring County treasurer Geo. Light cap, Knox, refused to sign the annual settlement sheets, saying he had beeu ' overcharged about 86,000.

PHILIP SCHLOSSEK DROWNED.

Agent of the North Liberty Creamery Company Drowned There Monday BIorntDg. Philip Schlosser, member of the firm of Schlosser Bros, and manager of the creamery branch at North Liberty, was drowned in the lake there early Monday morning. Mr. Schlosser started out on t he lake about 5:30 o'clock, while the weather was yet quite foggy, and had walked out about 100 feet from the shore when he reached the open water where the men had worked last Satur day cutting ice. The workmen who followed him a few minutes later found his hat, two pencils and his gloves on the ice and began an immediate search for the body, locating in a few minutes just where Mr. Schlosser had gone down in about twelve feet of water. Schlosser had gotten up at 4 o'clock and he was first missed by cutters putting up ice for a meat dealer named Irvin. Later he was missed by his own men, who had assembled and were waiting for orders. About six o'clock some men working at a distance heard loud calls for help, but they were soon stilled. As Schlosser's watch stopped at 6:10 o'clock it is evident that Schlos ser was vainly calling for assistance. Mr. Schlosser was born and raised on a farm in German' township, about one mile south of Bremen, in the vicinity of which place he resided until about fifteen years ago. He attended the public echoolf, at Bremen and was for several years a pupil of Henry II. Miller, present county auditor. In 1884 he, in company with neveral brothers, formed what it kuowa over northern Indiana as the Schlosser Bros. Creamery company, operating creamer ies at Bremen, North Liberty, Ilanna, Wanatah and various other places. As the business grew, they also established a commission house at South Chicago which is at present under the manage ment of his brother, Jacob. After assisting in the starting of their various creameries, he finally located at North Liberty, assumiog the management of the local creamery. Mr. Schlosser was about 45 years of ago and leaves a wife and five children, who reside at North Liberty; a father Jacob Schlosser, sr.; seven brothersFred, Jacob, George, Henry, Gus, William and Samuel, and many friends to mourn his death. Installation of Officers. Hyperion lodge, Knights of Pythias, met in regular session Monday night and installed the following oflicers for the new year: Chancellor commander, W. II. Vangilder; vice chancellor, S. A. Garn; prellate, J. A. Yockey; master of arms, J. L. Trowbridge; master of exChequer, O. G. Soice; master of work, C. L. Burt; inner guard, C. M. Slayter; outer guard, Bert Beerbower; master of finance, W.U. English; keeper of records and seals, C. L. Switzer; trustees, L. M. Lauer, Geo. Paul, J. D. McCcy. After the installation work was done in the first degree. A large attendance was reported. Much Truth in This. The Albion Democrat says: The Goshen News has secured the contract of furnishing stationery and printed supplies for Elkhart county. This is perfectly right and proper, and the present county reform law should be so amended that outside printing firms could not secure a contract to furnish printing for the different counties. The contract should be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder in each county. They are the ones who pay taxes for the support of the county, and are always willing and ready to defend the county against unjust attacks. Llnkvllle Noten. Misses Ada and Lillie Beyler, of Plymouth, visited friends in this vicinity last week. There is a prospect ot getting a telephone at this place to connect with the Bell line at Lapaz. As soon as Noah Stuckey can find a purchaser for his horse, he intends to return to Oklahoma and take up a homestead claim. There are several car loads of fine hogs being shipped to South Bend from Harris Station. Mrs. Bert Miggins presented her husband with a New Year's gift in the shape of a tine boy baby. A number of sports around here attended a shooting match at D. Jacoby's west of Plymouth, last Tuesday. Meetings are still in progress at Shiloh church both day and night. We wonder who is correspondent for the Independent here? Ask the Linkville tattler. John Cox has rented the Guire property, south of here, and moved in last week. Several young people took dinner with Mistes Josie and Ada Böhmer last Sunday. John Croupe, living on the Peter Cummins farm south of here, lost a horse last week. Distemper was the cause of its death. D. E. C. Kuntz has returned to his medical studies at Bennette's college, Chicago. Uncle Sam'a Postal Service. A moment's consideration of the accuracy of the mail service of the United States will give one a fair idea

of the safety of our postal system.

William E. Curtis says that laßt year that although 18,000,000 pieces were handled by the registry department, only 7,175 complaints were made of missing mail. Of these only 355 pieces were finally lost. The honesty is also remarkable. During the last fiscal year the loss from all causes was only about one-hundredth of one per cent. That is in handling $102,351,579, the government from dishonesty, carelessness, burglaries and from every other cause lost only about one cent for everv $100. Out of 74,687 postmasters and 512,609 clerfcs and employee, only 681 were reported for delinquencieb or informalities. CHOSEN FRIENDS ORDER. Property of the Defunct Concern to lie Sold. Judge Leathers, of the superior court, at Indianapolis, Saturday made an order directing Receiver Clark, of the Order of Chosen Friends, to dispose of the property of the insolvent order in the office and close up the establish ment. The court also ordered the receiver to proceed to collect all moneys due the order from local organizations. All of the office force has bpen dismissed. It is estimated that If the receiver is able to collect all money that is due from all sources he will not be able to pay a dividend of over five per cent. The receiver has been notified of hie appointment as receiver of the Order of Chosen Friends in New Jersey. T. J. Yount, who was hief clerk in the office of the order at Indianapolis, has been retained by the receiver to assist in closing up the a Hairs of the defunct concern. The death and old age disability claims against the order aggregate $550,000 and there is considerably less than 850,000 in sight. THE DEATH PENALTY. Could Not he Executed in Certain Counties. An investigation of the Indiana statutes reveals the startling fact that if the death penalty was returned against a criminal in certain counties of the state under the law it could not b exe cuted. In order to remedy this state of a'Tcirs Attorney Gtneni! Tsjlur is a present engaged in the preparation of an amendment to the eection which will provide that in cases where the death penalty is returned against any person it shall be executed at Michigan City prison, regardless of the county in which the sentence was returned. The amendment will carry an emergency clause with it providing that the amendment take effect from the date of the passage. Map of Lake Maxiukuckee. State Geologist Blatchley is prepar ing a large map of Lake Makinkuckee which will be published in his forth coming report. It will 6how the depth of the lake at different points, its plants at different depths and its fishes and shells. The deepest point found in the lake according to the soundings taken for the geologist, was ninety feet. The marl deposits of the lake will also be described in the report. The map is being prepared by Dr. J. T. Scovill, of Terre Haute. Farmern Huilding Their Own Road. Not content with pulling through mud during the fall and spring months, when all roads are usually bad, certain of the farmers in Jackson township, Jay county, are showing a commend able spirit by commencing to build two and three quarters miles of pike, where the road has been unusually bad, by private donation. Each farmer thus benefited is aaked to pay 81.50 for the first acre, 81 for the second and 75 cents for each additional acre. New Officers Elected. At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Plymouth State bank, yesterday, the following directors and officers were elected for the ensuing year: Directors David E. Snyder, II. G. Thayer, Henry Humrichouser, Theodore Cresener, Samuel Gretzinger, C. T. Mattingly, John Blain, Oliver G. Soice. Ofiicers David E. Snyder, president; Henry G. Thayer, vice-president; Oliver G. Soice, cashier. Fireman Injured. W. Cameron, a Nickel Plate fireman, mounted his engine tender at Argos Saturday to manipulate the coal bucket during the proiess of "coaling up." Just as he sprang the latch of the first bucketful his foot slipped ( and he fell to the tender floor, followed by the 1,000 pounds of coal, which nearly buried him. He sustained some ugly cuts and bruises about the bead and face and on one of his bands. Iiis back was also severely sprained. Urging- the Fairbanks Kill. The passage of a bill introduced by Senator Fairbanks, to declare the St Joseph river not navigable is being urged. It is the purpose of capitalists to dump millions of dollars into this ection, in developing the great water power of the St. Joseph river and competing with the gas belt in the cheapness of eleotrleal power.

CHOOSING LEADERS.

THE REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH PARTIES MAKE SELECTIONS. Voting: Machine Men on the Ground Try ing to Show I'p the Economy That the Machines Are Supposed to Effect AH Profession and Itusiaess Pursuits Are Represented in the Assembly Lawyers iu Rig Majority in Senate. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 9, 1901. The democratic members of the leg islature began arriving Monday and st noon Wednesday all were on the ground. Their headquarters are it the Grand hotel. The republicans hold forth at the Dennison house. The contest for speaker has been very spirited and will be brought to a close at the caucus tnnight. Ar'man seems to have tr.e speakership cinched, but Stuteeman and his friends are moving everything to break down the barracks. The brewers of the state are backing Stuteeman and it is not unlikely that the Artmau manages may get a surprise. The democrats have been equally active, but perhaps not as enthusiastic as the positions are simply complimentary The democratic leader will tie either Cyrus E. Davis, of Hloomfield; John W. Cravens, of Bloomington, or Geo W. Loutitt, of Ft. Wayne. Mr. Davis is serviog his first term, while the other candidates were here at the last session. Your representative ii supporting Mr. Davis for several reasonsone, because be has been longsr identified in the party councils and is aptly qualified for leadership; the other reason is because it is more likely that the new men will receive the same consideration that the old men receive if a new man is selected for leader. The new democratic assemblymen met this afternoon at the room ot the Marshall county representative to counsel on the matter of leadership, so as to act con certedly. Anything is likely to happen in politics, but Mr. Davis' selection seems positively certain. Mr. Inman will be selected as minority leader of the senate without opposition. Will Wood will probably be the leader for the republicans in the senate. t r The representatives stopping at the Grand hotel are Cyrus E. Davis, of Bloomfield; flenry Y Passage, of Peru; Clay W. Metsker, of Plymouth; James Catner, of Logansport; Joseph R. Haines, ot Poseyville; Adam May, of Flat Rock; A. A. Waugh, of Wells; Henry Dickson, of Bingen, and John W. Cravens, of Bloomiogton. t t Senator John W. Parss had engaged rooms at the Dennison and arrived yesterday. He notices a disposition on the part of the holdovers to monopolise the best committees, but the new republican members are trying to unite to protect themselves. It is not likely that they can do much, as the successful speaker will have many promises to carry out. t t The voting machine men are already on the ground endeavoring to show how a county can expend 820,000 for voting machines and save the amount in election expense within three or four years. As yet they have not made it clear that it will be impossible to corrupt a machine. To "a man up a tres" it would seem that the mechanic that can construct such a machine, could during the interim between elections manipulate it so that it would count wrong and in the interest of one party or the other. Perhaps there are to be safeguards provided that have not come to light as yet. t t Henry V. Passage is the oldest man in the assembly. He is CO years of age and resides in Peru. This is his fourth term in the assembly. t t All professions and business pursuits seem to be represented in the assembly. The lawyers and farmers lead in numerical strength. There are four or five editors in the assembly. t t Fully half of the senators are lawyers. t t Indianapolis, Jan. 10. At the caucuses last night, the republicans selected Samuel R. Artman, of Lebanon, for speaker, and John A. Bonham, ot Hartford City, for caucus chairman ot the house. The democrats at their caucus selected Cyrus E. Davis, of Bloomfield, for leader of the assembly; Eph Inman, of Washington, for leader of the senate; Charles J. Murphy, of Brockston, for caucus chairman of the assembly, and Frank W. Cregor, of Carthage, for joint caucus chairman. C. W. Metsker. A Bounty to Veterans. Senator Gard, representing Clinton and Carroll counties in the state legis lature, has charge of a bill to secure the enactment of a law providing for the payment by the state of a bounty to ail soldiers ana sailors enlisting from Indiana for the war with Spain or the Phil-

ipplna war.
