REV. OSTROM HAS OPENED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Ienl Clamor for .liuilon Many itiC l iirthle to Hear the Mttterriil himI Soul-firrinif Appeal for lliulier htt-ttl-i.atloit of Hie "Cliritt" C hr:i ter nml True ICeliion. The union revival service were begun in this city Sunday and the general outpouring of the people and the manifest interest in the several services is conclusive evidence that Rev. Ostrom will be ably supported by the christian people of Plymouth in his etfortB to reawaken the christian faith. Rev. Ostrom begins his work systematically, lie Jays the foundation at his first meetings, making it clear that he talks forno particular denomination. Iiis purpose is to bring The souls of men to piroximity with their (Jod. Evidently realizing tnat good atmosphere is essential tor srood Christianity and good fellowship and equally essentia) in order that his audience might assimilate the truths that he ehoosee to convey, he ordered the windows raired for several minutes at the .-vening meeting before beginning his sermon, and then proceeded wi'h Ins matifnl diecoure-. He read from the first chapter of John, "In the beginning whs the world, etc." and in his sermon painted a beautiful picture of Christ the ideal christian character He pictured the conditions at the time whe:i Christ appeared, showing his character and life to lie in every way antagonize to the government and church. The accepted religion at that time was antagonistic to him and yet his name has outlived the great warriors, the authors, the sages of all time. All this is true and yet Christ never led a force on the battlefield he was opposed to strife and contention; he neyer wrote a line, and yet hi name and his marvelous character live on, while the authors and classic scholars ot his time are well-nigh forgotten. How account for this? Only tha. "He was the Word and the Word was with (Jod and the Word was Ood." Christ introduced the light, the true light, that has shone d n through all the ager; eiuce hin coming among uier The servicep Sunday afternoon were held at the Presbyterian church and a similar service was conducted at 3 o'clock Monday. Mr. Ostrom spoke Sunday afternoon upon the "Necessity of Revivals of Prayer and Religions Enthusiasm." Mr. 1 1 11 lis directed the singing at each pervice and contributed largely toward the enthusiasm that has so far characterized the services. After the evening meeting Sunday Rrv. Ostrorn invited as many as chose to remain for a men's meeting. It was a pleasant surprise to him and those in charge of the services when they noted that more than three-fouiths of the men of the congregation stayed for the after service. At this meeting a committee of 100 was organized for the purpose of making the campaign for righteousness and the gospel. The union services are increasing in interest under the leadership of Rev. Ostrom. Especially interesting and impressive were the services of Monday afternoon. "Prayer" and "The True Christain" were the subjects cousidired. "No man is so base but that he Homelimes feels within his soul a hungering for God," said the evange list, and in response to his hunger he cried out from his heart "O Christ teach me to pray." "To abandon self to (Jod, it is only nesessary to get into harmony with Christ. An answer to prayer is but Heaven's full hand extended to satisfy the child's want, lu a true prayer, man muBt recognize Jesus. He must submit himself to the program of Christ. He who has a realization of the Saviourship of Christ will never make a gambling game out of this 6acred privelege. will never tots his prayers up to heaven, speculating on the possibility of prayer. He who cognizes the authority of Christ, will c.ever deceive himself in prayer, by making out of it, a self congratulatoiy speech; but will stau 1 betöre his maker, because he takes delight in priyer, becauso he believes the "victory of the kingdom waits the victory of prayer." At the evening services, Uev. Oe'rom said that man's greatest enemy is self. most forcibly was this brought nut; most emphatically was it stated that he who would be a true, a genuine christian most lose sight of self, "if any man will come after me, let. him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me." The portrayal of the christian as given by Mr. Ostrom was the picture ot a great man, great because the man had conquered self, had been subdued by tbs Spirit of Christ, for victory and truimph come only through submission to his will." Mr. Ostrom has demonstrated himself to be a power in the pulpit and this no doubt is due to the fact that be truely believes his mission to be in spired of (Jod. The Interest manifested in the union goipel services is steadily increasing.

Tuesday afternoon Rev. Ostrom con

tinued his impressive talk upon new testiment prayer. He said that prayer was the most prominent subject in the four gospels that (Jod has given man specific directions as to the manner of praying, which must be strictly obeyed, since man is saved through intellect. A man must no expect his prayers for another to be answereaonly because of the personal interest he feeh for the friends, but because of the infinite love the Savior feel tor him. Rev. Ostrom concluded his talk with marvelous illustrations of the direct answer to prayer. At the evening service the evangelist delivered a powerful address, uing as his text the Jlst verse of the first chapter of St. Matthews. He said that man was declared great in the scriptures; 6mal! only -when compared with (Jod.While man's possibilities for good are infinite his capacity for sin is terrible; man is an alienated, a depraved and a guilty sinner. (Jod has sent a great Savior with a great salvation to reclaim him. Fartory Malter Still I nsett led. The Independent was requested Friday by the secretary of the Rusine68 Men's association to make no mention of thn fact that the deal with the Thompson-Kastman piano factorv had fallen through. We retrained because it was argued that such publication at his tune would embarrass them in their nego tiations with other parties. Another daily paper has seen tit to ignore the wishes of the association and in consequence the Independent can violate no confidence in giving the facts to its readers. We understand that the concern dissolved after the ex piration of time Hxed for our people to accept their proposition. The fund that was raised was for the purpose of purchasing the novelty plant and can and, no doubt, will be used to secure a tenant other than the Thompson piano concern. The Estey iS: Co. Plana company are considering tne leesibility of coming here as i also the Sandoval Manufacturing company of Sandoval, III., which concern has taken an option on the plant. We Tried to Humor Him. The otlicial calls tor the county and district democratic conventions are published exclusively in this issue of Oie Democrat. They will be copied this evening as matter of belated news m the Independent. -Plymouth Democrat. The reason that the ca'ls for the democratic conventions did not appear in the daily of Wednesday is bcanse ot a desire on the part of the committee to humor the very jealous editor of the Democrat. Rather than embarafs the committee, the Independent consented to dtlay the publication of the call. The editor of the Democrat shows its appreciation of our efforts to humor his perversity by trying to leave the impression that he is the "only pebble on the beach." .1. It. Knuell l'aiMH Away. The friends ot J. 15. Rowell, formerly of Plymouth have received the sad news of his death at Lac-n, 111. Death came at midnght Sunday.

The pension board consisting of Dr. Knott, Dr. Ilea, of Culver, and Dr. Johnson, of IJourbon, is dissolved. Each of the members have forwarded their resignations ro the department at Washington. It is understood that the pension department has been too rigid in its exactions. The old soldiers evidently realize that this administration is against them. It is reliably stated that the new board will consist of Dr. Stephens, of Plymouth; Dr. Could, of Argo, and Dr. Weiser, of Rourbon. Marriage l.lceii. Dec.

The appointment is a good one, and though there were several other good men mentioned and urged for the place by their friends equally qualified, it roust be admitted that in the selection of Tom Lee, the commissioners have made an excellent choice for the Rourbon township constituency.

The MmthIiwII County Poultry Show. The first annual exhibition of the Marshall County Poultry association will be held in Plymouth Dec. 21 to 28, P.K)1, in the corner room of the Hoham block, on the corner of Laporte and. Center streets. The object of this exhibition ii to create an interest for better poultry and more of it in this

county. Every farmer today in Marshall county realizes how much more profitable it is to him to raise thorough bred cattle, hogs, sheep and horses and would not for a moment entertain the idea of having nothing but tbs best. Compare the different breeds of all kinds of live stock today with that of twenty-five or more years ago. It requires no more feed and care to take care of the best than it does of the poorest. It is the same in poultry as in other classes of stock. It requires no more feed and care for a nice flock of pure-bred poultry than of the dung-hill fowl of half a century ago. Rut from the financial standpoint the story is entirely different and from one hundred to two hundred per cent in favor of the pure-bred fowl. We earne6ty solicit the help of all admirers and breeders of pure-bred poultry to lend us their assistance in this our first exhibition. If you have any poultry of any variety we will be glad to have you exhibit with us. We have employed D. A. Stoner, of Renssalear Ind., to judge the show. He has the reputation of being one of the best poultry judges in this country. So

whatever you have bring it along. Premium list is now ready and will be mailed to anyone upon application. Ia it you will find all the rules and regulations of the show, the cash and special premiums offered. Again in behalf of the Marshall County Poultry association we earnestly solicit your help and patronage. All communications should be addressed to R. F. Carey, Sec. We are sincerely yours, Makshall Co. Poci.tky Aso. Stti:flikT Will Kilt-d. The will of the late Hon. Clem Studebaker, of South Rend, has been admitted to probate. An equal division of the estate is made among the children. Each of his grandchildren is willed $10,000 upon attaining their 25th birthday, provisions also being made for the education of each grandchild. There will be no disintegration of the estate, no separate interests. It will be held in trust, his wife being the principle trustee until her death. No bequests are made to public, charitable or religious institutions, but one section of the will treats of this matter and evidences the desires of the deceased. It says: "I have all along through my life made such donations to charitable, religious and philanthroplcal purposes as 1 felt wa finone in my financial circui-taLces nd I have full confidence that Dzy wif ar. l children will make such f urther donations for such matters out !' their own estates at their own discretion as circumstances shall at the time ju?tity." Klertion of Otticern. The St. Roniface society of the Cathlic church elected the following officers Monday evening: President August Carabin. Vice-President Andy Molter, sr.
