WM. G. HENDRICKS, Sdltor and Proprietor. O 'FICE n BieeeU's Block, Corner Center and LaPorte Streets. a Xersd at Uie Plymouth, Indiana, Post Office a Second-Class Matter.

Alger ia reported very ill with Bright's disease and there are little hopes of hia recovery. He has been induced to go to the famous health reaort at Carlsbad, Germany, where hia family hope he will be improved. It is reported that Mr. J. PierpontMorgan is going to rest for a few days, A few things may get away from him while he is in repose, but he has so much spare impetus in acquirement that it will be only good exercise for him to win back that which he has lost when he chooses to go to work again. England has now 219,000 well equipped soldiers in South Africa and is unable to conquer the Boers with less than half that number of poorly armed, poorly fed men in the fie.'d. There is some thing the matter with England's military tactice or she would have wound up that Boer war long ago. The census just completed in Ireland by the British government shows a decline in population. The figures for 1901 are 4,456,546, a decline of 53 per cent from the figures for 1891, when the population was 7,706,448. These figures are eloquent as showing the results of the peculiar kind of British rule given the Irish people. There is no fear in administration circles in Washington that the Cuban constitutional convention will not accept the Piatt amendment as an entirety. The Cuban commissioners who visited Washington went back fully imbued with the idea of adopting the amendment, and no apprehension is felt t!iat they will not be able to impress their views on the convention. The adoption may be phrased m Buch a way as to make some concessions to the so-called radical sentiment in Cuba, but it will be a satisfactory acceptance. The St. Louis Republic is enthsiastic over the perfected orjanizaton of a syndicate in that city which proposes to supply the missing links in a railroad eystem already controlled by them,which completed, wil connect St. Louis with the port of Manzanillo, on the western coast of Mexico. The government of Mexico has appropriated 56,000,000 for the improvement of the port, and it is said the syndicate wil! establish a regular line of steamships between Manzanillo and ports in China, Japan and thePhilippines, The undertaking is characteristic of a period of great commercial enterprises. An editorial in the Indianapolis Journal on the strike situation saye; "The spirit of the age demands the most liberal treatment of workmen and wage earners consistent with economic conditions. There are other things in life more important than the accumulation of wealth or the increase of production. It is not desirable that the list of millionaires or multi-millionaires should be indefinitely extended at the cost of manhood or by exacting overwork from the producer of wealth. It ia not necessary that employera should get rich quick through the labors of their employee. Labor is an institution of divine origin, aid should not be prostituted in the interests of selfish greed or avarice. Worn ia necessary, honorable and ennobling, but overwork ia th9 reverse. Rest ia a divine institution no less than labor, and quite as necessary to keeping up the machinery of the world," Where the Boers Are Oatherlng, The British at Middelburg. Cape Colony, report concentration of Boers in tbe Zouberg district. Middleburg is strategically one of the most important points in Eastern Cape Colony. It is located near the junction of the railways from Port Elizabeth and Port Alfred and at the junction of the cross line extending from Molteno on the East London railway to the Port Elizabeth line. It is only twento-five miles south of Naauwpoort, where the railway from De Aar on the Cape Town and Kimberly road joins the main line to Bloemfontein and Pretoria. Forty miles east of Middelburg ia Steynsburg, and twenty miles north of the latter ia the Zouberg mountain district. Posted in this district the Boers are within striking distance of Naauwpoort, Steynsburg, and Alolteno, and not more than forty milea from Burghersdorp to the northeast or Colesberg to the northwest, and not more than fifty miles from Bethulie brida across the Orange river, just rebuilt by the British. If the Boers can muster, as reported, 1,500 men In Zoubsrg.it may be assumed that the concentration means more than a locc3 raid through the Colesberg and Middelburg districts, and indicatea a purpcc3 on the part cf the Boer ? general to strike the Britich where most injury czn bo done by a ;.brId dash.

Last October Mr. Bryan ostentatiously went to the arms of Croker and Tammany Hall, and Tammany made much of him. "Great is Tammany," he shouted, "and Croker is its prophet." Now Tammany Hall has refused to invite him to its Fourth of July powwow.

A dispatch from Moscow says that the Russian government has ordered the discontinuance of telegrams of sympathy to Count Tolstoi. The telegraph companies must no longer transmit such messages, Perhaps this statement is exagerated like many another that comes from 0 7er the sea regarding the alleged persecution of Tolstoi. By demanding so great an indemnity as some of the powers insist upon, they are playing into the hands of Russia. By the imposition of such a great burden China will remain prostrate and helpless for many years to come, and be a ready victim of her powerful northern neighbor, who is always alert to take every advantage to extend her dominions. A conference of nineteen American Republics has been called to meet in the city of Mexico next October, Matters of great importance will be considered among which is the principle of arbitration. O course many other questions affecting the interest more or less of these Republics will be discussed and acted upon. How long the conference will remain in session ia uncertain. The capture of a British patrol in South Africa means that the Boers have not yet given up the fight. The irritating condition for England is that she can not diminish her army in South Africa, though the number of the Boers who are under arms must now be small. The whole line of military communications in the two defuct republics has to be heavily guarded, for mbody can tell where the Boers will strike next W. S. Haggard, of Lafayette, former lieutenant governor, is making arrangements to establish a literary magazine in Indianapolis. He has already interested several men in his company, and the prospect for its early organization is good. He hopes to be able to issue the first number about August 1, The magazine is to be made primarily of interest to Indiana people, he says, and later he hopes to broaden its scope until it covers the entire country. The Chicago Record Hearld insists that the salary of the president of the United States should be at least $100,000 and that of the vice president should be advanced from $8,000 to $25.000. That is all right so far as the generosity and liberality of the Chicago Record-Herald ia concerned says theSouth Bend Times, but the "plain people' will probably object. It might be well enough to raise somewhat the salary of the vice president but the present compensation of the president is high enough. No trouble will be experienced for some time to come to find men who are willing to serve at $50,000 a year. The statistical bureau, at Washington has received a translation of a report made by a German expert who visited this country with a view of investigating its manufactures and Industrial conditions. It is a frank admission of the extraordinary progress in manufactures made by the country during the last few years. "As late as ten years ago," says the report, "nobody believed that America, within calculable time, would be able to produce iron so cheaply aa to enable it to complete with England in the world's markets. Today this ia an accomplished fact," It is further stated that American enterprise, aided by improved methods, "have made the American iron industry the leading factor in the world market, with which, undoubt edly, European competing industry will have to reckon for all time to come." Such reports as this are not calculated to allay German apprehension of American competition. TERRIBLE HAPPENINGS. More terrible happenings, crimes in high places and of sensational character, have occurred in this country in the past seven days than were ever before recorded in any line period. The death of the famous and popular Father Philippe, of Pennsylvania, in a New York tenement under suspicious circumstances, ia one of them. Another ia the deliberate murder of James S. Ayrea, a census office clerk, in his own room at a large hotel in Washington. A third is the awful deed of an envious, vicious individual, Everett Conway, in Evansville, this state, who with shot gun, rifle and pistol terrorized the community by killing two of his neignbore, shooting down a policeman, several by-Standers, slaying animals and then taking his own life. The suicide of one of America's most brilliant and influential clergymen, Rev Dr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock, pastor of a leading church in New York city who severed an artery in his wrist and swalled a big dose of corrosive sublimate in a disperate attempt to end a life made miserable by disease, is another on the list of sickening tragedies of a week. There are other deeds of similar nature going to show for come reason unexplained that an epedemic of crime isBweeping the country.

It has been suggested that the city of Manila should be given a government similar to that of Washington D. C. The "consent of the governed" is not conspicuous in the government of Washington, but security to life and property, first-class policies, streets, etc., are secured at a moderate coet.

So long as rival interests are ia the railroad businese, with leaders who deeire to control, crone syndicate will control all the railroads of the country. Just now George Gould is making trouble by trying to get control of the Erie, that he may have an outlet for his system, which now extends to Pittsburg. Hia opponents characterize his purpose aa an improper one, but why it ia so no one has explained. The issue presented at West Point, is whether the acedemy shall be managed by the cadets or by the superintendent, This is understood at Washington. In the war department it is felt that "the contest at West Point was betweeen two systems one the determination of the cadets to run the academy and establish a code of morals and conduct of their own, and especially in regard to the fourth-class men; the other the determination of the authorities to regulate the conduct of the academy in accordance with what was deemed the best military government and which would result in the best system of education for the cadets relative to their future duties." Let it not be forgotten that these young men are the servants of the people, supported and educated by the people. Therefore, iDsubordination.disobedienceviolation of the lules, and lack of respect for their superiors on the part of the cadets, are really offenses against the government of the United States and the people to whom it belongs. Indiana polis News. OHIO CHECK TO LYNCHING. The recent decision of the Ohio su preme court justifies the prediction that lynchings will be very infrequent in that state hereafter, In 1896 ihe Ohio legislature passed a law making counties responsible for injuries to persons committed by mobs. About a year later a negro waa lynched at Urbana, and hia heirs, under this law, brought suit against the county. .The lower court awarded the he.r 25,000 and costs, and this decision th? y jpreme court has affirmed. While the direct operation of this law against lynching is confined to Ohio, its enforcement will have an effect in other states similar to that caused by the famous Pittsburg decision holding the county liable for $2,000.000 damage by rioters to railway property. The Ohio law will doubtless be copied by other etates, for that communities should be liable for destruction of property but not for destruction of life by mobs ia an evident absurdity. Life is certainly as sacred as property, and meana found effective for protecting the one will naturally he employed to protect the other Latest Care for Cancer. The beauty about the latest discovered cure for cancer is its simplicity and cheapness. The discoverer is Stephen Griggs of Brooklyn, N. Y. Eat nothing but boiled yellow corn, drinking the water in which it is cooked for thirty days, and presto you are healed. This seema entirely too good to be true, It is suggested that the corn, put up in the favorite Kentucky liquid form, ought to have the desired effect, and that it would be a ' heap" more pleasant to take. But that method has been used for so many ailments that it has long been proved that the remedy is worse than any disease. Turned Out For the Best. Misa Rose Maxwell, of Plymouth, and four other girls were the victims of a swindler about a year ago, who Induced them to each part with $55 with the understanding that he would take them to Europe where they would be employed aa musicians at high 'salaries. When they arrived at New York to start on their journey the swindler had skipped with their funds. Miss Maxwell's misfortune appealed to the sympathy of Congressman Brick and secured her a position at Washington, she being a resident of his district, she now thinks that her misfortune has proven to her a fortune, as she is about to be married to a prominent Washington attorney. Valparaieo Messenger. Mr. Carnegie's Latest Gift. Other wealthy philanthropists have shown what may he done in the way of endowing colleges and training schools and building hospitals, but it has been left for Andrew Carnegie to set a new pace by making a gift so magnificent that an entire nation virtually may be considered its direct beneficiary. Mr. Carnegie's gift of $10,000,000, which is to be held in trust and used to pay the f eea of students at the Scotch universities of Ed in burg, Glasgow, St. Andrews and Aberdeen, practically offers a university education to every boy or girl in Scotland who can pass the entrance examination. The millionaire has made a university education as easily accessible in Scotland aa ia a public school education in the United States. The least in quanity and most in quality describes De Witt's Little Early Risers, the famoua pills for constipation and liver complaints. J. W. Hec3,

A Woman's Letter to the Police. The following letter, written by a woman in Kansas, has been received by the Philadelphia police department: "Chief Police, will you see the woman whose name is in the inclosed advertisement, i will settle with her for $500. She has a medicine which she says will Remove hair from the face, i sent her one dollar and got a bottle of the medicine, i had some fuz cn my face, i used the medicine and it burnt my face and now i have got a heavy beard aüd tne doctor say i will have whiskeia now all my life, if she will give you $500 i will take it and say nothin against the woman," Christian Church. Rev. W. F. Folks found it co-venient to spend the Lord's day with the church here. He will preach next Lord's Day aslo. His subject in the morning was: "The mission of the church in the world" in the evening, "The demands made upon the church by the world." The church is to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Church. The gospel in the early days was instructive, the gospel today is laden ith the truths of God the attrf butes of our Father. There is nothing in the world that will take the place of the pure, simple gospel. HORIUARI.

Ellas Day, EliaB Day, one of the old and prominent farmers of the Donaldson neighborhood, died Friday afternoon. May 24. 1901, aged 73 years, 5 months and 22 days. Mr. Day was a native of Delaware but had been for many years a resident of this county. He was a man whose word waa as good aa hia bond. He waa outspoken and fearless in his opinions and was generally able to give a reafeon for what he said. The neighborhood and the county in which such a man lives elways feels his loss when he dies. He had been twice married, and besides his wdow leaves a family of three sons and two daughters, all married. Funeral services was held at Donaldson at 10.30 a. m. Sunday and the remains W8S laid to rest in thejDonaldson cemetery. SILK WORMS AT WORK. They Can Be Seen In Kloepfer's Window And Are Attracting Mnnh Attention . Silk worms at work ia something new in Plymouth. Fifty years ago they could be seen in almost every part of the United States, but now the raising of silk worms and the production of silk is confined to great manufacturing centers particularly adapted to the work. Silk worms and the manufacture of silk were first known in China thousands of years ago and the secret was a source of immense wealth to that country. There are several legendb as to how the secret got out and was conveyed to other nations, The eggs of the silk worm are deposited by a moth and hatch out the next spring. In all, the worms cast their skins, and go through five ages. They have about thirty-one days of eating and nine of resting, Then sets ia a brief era of unrest, during which they wander about, moving their beads, whicn is preliminary to the final act of their strange and wonderful career. Having found a suitable place, they commence throwing from their spinners the airy filament which they have been storing up since they began feeding, Around and around the body the filament is wound.tbe worm making of the silk a tomb for itself. To this purpose the remainder of its life is steadily and unfaulteringiy devoted. It makes sixty-five motions of its head every minute, or a total of three hundred thousand to spin its cocoon. A singular thing about the spinning process is that the thread is never tangeled. Row after row of it ia completed the worm never beginning a new one un til the old one is finished. Then man steps in, and, after stifling the pupa, unwinds the cocoons with a filature. Thus we have raw silk. NEWS FACTS IN OUTLINE M. W.
