IE IRE 3 ni en um a II KAT PKOSTKATIONS. Prominent rhylciau tJlve Some Practical Ailvh-e. A prominent physician pays of heat prostration: "Avoid over exertion of body or mind, unsanitary condition,' emotional excitement, worry, overheating and the use of alcohol. Wear light clothes, both as to color and weight, and have your place of labor well ventilated. A person who has bad a previous attack must be very cautious. It is often well to wear a damp cloth or a little bunch of leaves in the top of the hat. All the authorities agree that a person who has had an attack is in dinger. Prostration is more common from 2 to ü p. m., because it is then that the body is least liable to withstand the heat. The warning is the stopping of the pores. If you stop sweating, hurry to a cool place to rest. If a friend is overcome, keep blm as cool as possible and call a physician. Almost every case is due to ill health and is only indirectly caused by the heat. There 1b very little danger of a well man being overcome." Kpworth I.ewcuern Klett O Ulcer.

Remonstrance Was Insufficient After Conceding Kvery Claim of the Remonstrators.

W. M. HATCH, OF GOSHEN,

THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER

Names of Several Property Owners Stricken From Remonstrance Late Wednesday Afternoon Remonstrators Lacked Over 4(H) Lineal Feet on Every Proposition Much Credit Due the Common Council.

North Michigan street will be paved. Remonstrators bent every effort to kill the proposed improvement, but lacked considerable of having a eutlicient number of lineal feet represented. The bids were opened at the council meeting Monday night and it is now known that the cost of street paving will be only about half what theremonEtrntore have claimed. In the business portion of the city where the width of the street is to be rS feet instead of 10 feet, the eost will bh about Svj.70 per front loot. The dirt which is to be taken from the street will be thrown along side the street outside the curbstone and will be given the property owners for the pur pose of constructiue terraces and thus beautifying their front lav.n. The bids submitted Monday night are as follows: Win. R. Ilines, Frankfort, Ind. Posten bl)ck gravel foundation, SI 12; stone foundation. 81 "'..

A motion was made by Councilman Parker that when the council adjournjt adjourn until Wednesday evening so as to give the aldermen time to consider the different bids in the meantime. This was carried. The remonstrance was filed and on motion Mayor Jones appointed Aldermen Parker, Reynolds and Astley as a committee of three to investigate the remonstrance and report Wednesday evening. Signer of KemoiiHt ranee. Those signing the remonstrance were: Mrs. Augusta Loescb, owner of Fred Kuhn building; Mrs. Charles Tibbetts and Charles Tibbetts, joint owners of residence; Harriet Rennett; Wm. M. Kendall, residence and business property; Carrie Johnson, wife of Araasa Johnson; Henry Humrichouser; N. S. Woodward, for store occupied by J. C. Runnel!; Michael Spiesshofer; C. H. Reeve; Mrs. S. L.

Capron, residence; Jennie Capron, wife of Judge Capron; L. A. Kloepfer; Stella II. Drummond, wife of C. P. Drummond; George Neil. Council Contract. The common council, at its meeting Wednesday night, awarded the contract to pave North Michigan street to W. M. Hatch, of (Joshen. The council had fixed upon Posten block, but word was received late in the afternoon from Crawfordsville that it could not be turni'hed before spring, hence the council instructed the mayor to contract with Mr. Hatch for Clinton or Preston brick. A gravel foundation will be used. The committee of three, consisting of Mr. Parker, Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Astley, made their report upon the remonstrance, which showed that it was insutlicient after conceding every claim of the remonstrators. They lacked over 100 lineal feet on every proposition to have sufficient property represented on the remonstrance. Mr. Neff sent word to have his name taken olf the remonstrance; J. 13. Howell telegraphed from (Joshen to have his name taken off; and Mrs. Neal changed her mind, concluding to leave her name on the remonstrance. The council made these changes and the remonstrators were then weaker than ever by 44 feet. After the committee report was read, the council made quick work of the matter. It immediately accepted the report and, upon motion, the mayor was instructed to contract with Mr. Hatch. Thus ends a hard fought battle. For the victory our people owe their thanks to the common council, and especially to Mr. Parker who has labored incessantly to accomplish what he was instructed by the voterB of Plymouth to do. The Independent takes consolation in this victory also, in that it has been the only newspaper that has taken a square stand and backed up its convictions with every available argument. There it no objection to paving Laporte street and that improvement is assured. If the people on South Michigan street elect to retain their mud streets in the face of the north side improvements, the Independent veiy much doubts their bus

iness judgment. South side property should not be allowed to depreciate in order to save a few dollars at this time.

ENDOWMENT KAN K STORY. $3,300 Said to Have Keen Paid for Good Report. At the special meeting of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, In Chicago, next week, it is understood a report will be made exposing persons alleged to have been implicated in a deal by which a former Illinois insurance commissioner received from a manager of the K. of P. Endowment rank $3,500 for a "clearance card" and a letter of recommendation for the rank. Union R. Hunt, secretary of state, who is a supreme representative in the order, will attend the meeting of the supreme lodge, and will favor an investigation and indictment of the of fenders, if there is evidence to warrant such action. The story is that the $3,500 bought a report showing that an investigation had been made, and that the endowment rank's affairs bad been found satisfactory. 1IOKSKTII1EF IS CA PTl'KKI. Man Nauieil Boat, of St. I.ouN, Mo.. Arrented at Wanatali. L. L.

Pfeiffer, Frank Terry, Rochester. Politics In Hanking. Capital stock of $300,000 and a loan amounting to $1,000,000 to a single firm tells the story of the Seventh National bank's failure in New York City. Nine bank failures out of ten result from violations of the banking laws, and yet when it comes to punishment a large public sentiment favors leniency because "every one else does the same thing." What is the use of having banking laws if they are not enforced? Indianapolis Sentinel. Change of Prlent at tJnshen. Riohop Aldering, of the diocese of Fort Wayne, has appointed Father John H. (iuendeling, of Fort Wayne, to succeed Father Lewis Edward Iluott to the priesthood of the St. John's Catholic church in (ioehen.J Father II uott has received a call from his former parish in Worcester, Mass. and has left for that city.

BRINGS OIL FROM TEXAS.

Welcome Miller and Hit Father Return Home from OH Field. Welcome Miller, residing five miles northeast of Plymouth, and his father have returned from Texas, where they visited the Hey wood gusher, the greatest oil well in the world. Welcome Miller was a member of the Alba Heywood Concert company in 1890 and 1SH1 and made a tour of the western states. Scott Heywood was the first of the Heywood brothers to reach the oil fields of Texas and leased Gfteen acres in the very heart of the gusher field. Since bis great fortune he wrote to Welcome Miller, his old friend, and told him to come down and see him, at the same time enclosing a check to cover all his expenses. Tnis was a tempting proposition, so Welcome, accompanied by his father, made the trip. A photograph of gusher No. 2 was left at this office by Mr. Miller. The picture and the description accompaning ityhows a solid six-inch stream of oil to the height of 217 feet. It has a capacity of 70,(XX) bbl. per day. Mr. Miller has left a sample of the oil here waich any interested can see. The same company has two other wells equal to No. 2 and are busily engaged putting down a fourth. The company is capitalized at 800,000 and had placed $100,000 of sleek on the market as treasury stock to be sold 8t par, every dollar of which is to be invested in purchasing equipment, tanks etc. The oil is taking the place of coal and fuel in Texas. Mr. Miller is very enthusiastic in explaining the great discovery. GOSHEN PAPERS CONSOLIDATE. The News Printing Co. Purchaaea the Daily and Weekly Times. A deal was closed Tuesday at Goshen whereby the News Printing compsny purchases the Goshen Daily and Weekly Times and will consolidate the two next Monday under the name of the (loehen Daily News-Times. The Daily News was established la lsf, by Thomas Starr, and the Weekly Times was first published in 1S52 by the late Chauncey W. Stevens. The Times has always been republican in politics. Since the establishment of the Goshen Daily Democrat In December, 1SÜ7, there have been three daily papers in (Joshen. An effort has long been making to reduce the cumber to two and this has at last succeeded. A fleet Rural Carrier. Postmaster General Smith has rendered a decision covering a large number of complaints that have been made to the department from various parts of the country against certain mail carriers in the rural free delivery service, who have under their general privilege of making purchases for patrons along their routes been buying whisky in quarts and pints and delivering it. The postmaster general's order is very positive in forbidding this practice, and the rural free delivery carrier who hereafter violates this rule will be subject to instant dismissal from the service. Gave Girls the Shake. Two young ladies from Plymouth went to South Rend Saturday evening, expecting to be met at the train by their sweethearts, who were to drive them to the residence of a friend, two miles from the depot. It seems that the young men failed to show up and, in as much as they had not prepared themselves with the necessary amount of change to pay 'bus iare, they were obliged to walk the entire distance and carry their baggage. The young ladies were keenly disappointed and were fearful that the news would get back to Plymouth. Harne Stolen. When Patrick Hursen went to his barn to hitch up hie carriage horse Monday morning he was surprised to find that he had no harness, it having been stolen either Saturday or Sunday evening. Several other small articles are missing in that neighborhood and it is thought that it was done by home talent. Mr. Hursen offers $5 reward for information leading to the arrest of the thief. Q florae Die from Heat. A valuable horse belonging to Thos. Kleckner, who farms the South Mattlngly farm, dropped dead Tuesday as a result of the terrible beat. Mr. Kleckner was driving the animal to the wagon when it fell to the ground and died before be could remove the harness. It was a young horse worth $175 and Mr. Kleckner feels his loss very sorely. Awarded $4,000. In the suit of Mrs. Christana Tank of Walkerton vs. Claud Rehrene, tried at South Rend last week, a verdict of 8t.UK) was awarded the plaintiff. Mrs. Tank acted as housekeeper for the deceased for several years and was compelled to sue the estate for the amount due her for services rendered. Wedding Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Toan celebrated their thirty-ninth wedding anniversary Tuesday afternoon. About 20 ladles were present and light refreshments were served. They were entertained by Miss Jessie Toan,
