Jacob Carbiener, of Bremen, was in town Wednesday and informs that it is true that gas has been found at that place, but the prospects have been somewhat exaggerated by the report sent out bv newspaper correspondents. At a depth of 370 feet gas was discovered and when a match was touched, it shot up over two feet. The workmen estimate the pressure at about 60 lbs. to the square incb. It is the purpose of the stockholders to drill deeper into the trenton rock and shoot the well. As it costs over $200 to shoot a well, they want to feel pretty well satisfied before making the shot. Trenton rock was not found at the former well until they had reached a depth of nearly 1,500 feet. It was a surprise to all when they reached trenton rock in the present well at a depth of but little over 350 feet. Bremen citizens were considerably excited Wednesday and some are very hopeful that they will have a good supply of gas. Burglar Has Narrow Escape. Some one entered the house of David J. Morris, on North Michigan street, Tuesday night between 9 and 10 o'clock. Miss Ellen Morris had not yet retired and hearing a noise in the kitchen, opened the door and saw the invader. She closed the door at once and went for a neighbor, Mr. Cohns, who hurried over. The burglar seeing that be was caught rushed into the bedroom and the closed the door. Mr. Cohns went to outside window to prevent his escape, and while there, the burglar opened the door and rushed back through the kitchen, makiog his escape. Nothing was missed. l-'oat of Tar (iiven. The Hev. James A. Wildmau was taken from his home at Huntington by a mob of citizens made up of both democrats and republicans and was given a coat of tar and feathers because of his denunciation of President McKinley as a political demagogue from the United Rrethren pulpit on Sunday. The mob was composed of some of the best citizens of Huntington and was orderly, if determined, in its methods. The work was done quickly and quietly and the mob dispersed soon after. Divorced and Did Not Know It. Josephine Monroe, of South Rend, has just discovered through a news paper that she is civorced from her husband John Monroe, although they are living together. Last spring she asked for a divorce, but judgment was suspended pending the payment of costs. She became reconciled to her husband, but did not notify her attorney, who paid the costs when court reconvenced. The judgment was then entered on record. The couple will ask that it be vacated. Shidcler for the Senate. The report is given out from JJIuffton that Warden Shideler, as soon as he retires from the prison, will announce himself as a candidate for the republican nomination for joint pen itor from the district composed of the counties of Mackford, Wells and Grant, and the assertion is made that he can have the honor for the asking. The district is controlled by the votes of (Jrant county, which Mr. Shideler is supposed to carry around in his vest pocket. rrlre-Woodtill Nuptial Edward W. Price, of West township, and Miss Daisy R. Woodüll, of Polk township, were quietly married Tuesday morning at the U. R. parsonage by Rev. R. (J. Upson. The young couple left on the morning train for Indianapolis, where they will visit a few days. St. Joseph Conference Meet. Warsaw, Ind.. Sept. IH.

A Notable Viudlcttt Ion. Among the appointments made at the meeting of the Northwest Indiana M. E. conference at Rrazil, Rev. Dr. Edwin A. Schell received that of presiding elder of the Crawfordsville dis trict. This is the largest and bestsalaried district in the conference and the unanimity of the cabinet on the appointmetit of Dr. Schell shows the esteem in which he is held by bis fellow ministers. Following so closely upon the retraction of the charges made by one of his factional enemies in the Epworth League, this appointment is significant and clearly vindicates Dr. Schell, a fact that is highly gratifying to his army of friends and again gives to the ministry one of its ablest and best workers. South Rend Times. Aim or An Anarchist. Dr. Karl Freitag, editor of the Michigan City Freie Larze (Free Lance), says in a leading editorial that the program of the ararchists is about as follows: "All rulers must be killed, all ministers shall be bung, order must cease to exist, all laws must be abolish ed, no family ties shall exist, and people will meet and live together like dogs. And to create this ''glorious" condition in the world, dynamite, revolver, poison and the dagger must perform their "liberating" mission." Whoever stands for such principles ought to be excluded at once from human society. An Invitation to the l'tens. The meeting of the Northern Indiana Press association will be held at Elkhart Thursday and Friday, September 20 and 27. All members of the press in Northern Indiana without regard to party atiiliatious will be cordially welcomed at this meeting whether members of the association or not. It is hoped that many not now members of the association will become such at this meeting. This invitation is not formal, but earnest and hearty on the part of the association and on the part of the people of Elkhart. Valparaiso Woman Assaulted. On Thursday, September 12 at Valparaiso, two strangers who came to work the county fair, went to the home of Mrs. William Haberkorn, who lives in an outlying part of that city, and asked for something to eat, but were refused. Seeing the woman was alone they assaulted her, and when found half an hour later by her returning husband she was unconscious. Physicians who were summoned say her wounds are serious. The desperadoes then ransacked the house, taking $100. The sheriff and a posse of neighbors sought the men, but no clue could be found. An Old-Fashioned Itellluc Fred Rotsett as leader, in company with a number of gentleman friends, with the Plymouth Mandolin club, went in a body to the home of L. Tanner, on North Michigan street, and gave Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tanner an old-fashioned belling.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tanner will entertain the Rlue Ribbon club next Saturday evening. Mistake or hy Intention.

Marriage Lleemte. Edward W. Price, aged 2(, and Miss Daisy R. Woodfill, aged 25, were given license to wed.

Must Hepair 1 toads. The following letter has been received by Postmaster Yockey, which speaks for itself: Washington, D. C, Sept. It., 11HU. The Postmaster, Plymouth, lud. Dear Sir Reports recently received from your otlice show that the roads traveled by rural carriers are in bad condition. You will please notify the patrons of routes Nob. 1, 2 and 3, that the present lack of attention to these roads, will, if continued, be likely to endanger the permanency of the rural free delivery service there. A rural carrier cannot possibly make regular time or perform efficient service over poor roads, particularly during the winter and spring months. The summer is the time for mending these highways, which are really serving as post roads, and which should always be passable for the transport of the mail. It is the hope of the department that the patrons who are receiving the benefit of the service appreciate it, and that they will promptly co-operate in an effort to repair all deficient portions before winter sets in, so that the permanency of rural free delivery service may be ensured. Respectfully, A. W. Machen, Gen. Supt.

Will Move to riymouth. Gust. Schlosser iuforms us that he will make bis future home in Plymouth, Ind., where he will be connected with Schlosser Rros. in the creamery business.

While Mr. Schlosser and family will move from here, yet he will not entirely leve us, as the firm has extensive creamery interests in this vicinity and as they are managed di rectly from Plymouth, Mr. Schlosser will no doubt be a frequent visitor in our city.

A certain lady school teacher was accosted by a travelling man the other evening while she was out walking with her sister who is visiting here. The young traveling man informed her tbat he was a stranger In Plymouth and was looking fir some congenial soul who would join him In the ice cream parlor. The young lady admits that she blushed for the first time since her arrival in Plymouth and fumbled out a

few sentences which gave the young traveling man to understand that she was ,4chock full" of ice cream. He suggested other entertainment which did not appeal to our school marm and left declaring that he had been "6et on hard." Though his grief was pitiful, our school marm'a tender feelings were not touchid. Her friends say that she did not realize that the young man was trying to tlirt with her unil three days afterward.
