The Chicago drainage board has filed an amended answer in the case brought by St. Louis to have the canal declared a nuisance, in which it avers that St. Louis is not affected by the waters of the canal because they never reach that city. It is generally known that when the Missouri and Mississippi join the water from two streams does not mix at once, but each keeps .Its side of the river, the water being easily distinquished by the color. The drainage board says that they do not mix until after passing St. Louis, the Miesiesippi water following the east bank, while the intake of the St, Louis water works is on the west bank. Consequents any impurities in St, Louh water must come rom the Missouri, or from sewage from St. Louis or from towna above it.

Walter Williame has returned from Bradford. Pa. He was employed in the wood rim works there.

From reports in the Chicago papers there is trouble in "Zion" and Dowie is not having things as peaceful in his selfcreated earthly heaven as it is presumed he flight wish. The Wisconsin legislature on the eve of itsCadjournment last week enacted a curious law, which imposes a tax of 10 cents a ton on all ice gathered in that state and shipped out of it, Henry Hockensmith and Sherman Ellis will have a sale of personal property at the farm Z miles south of Plymouth, Wednesday, June 5.

Mayor Knisely of Hartford City pronounced the word franchise as though spelled fran-cheese and all the councilman adopted his pronunciation as the correct one. Now all the city fathers arei,4cheesing" it in pronunciation and the newspapers are striving co make them "cheese" the abominable practice. The forthcoming statistical report of State Statistican B, F. Jonnson in which, he says, he will show by accurate figures that the county and township reform laws have failed in their purpose of cheapening the cost of local government, is awaited with the greatest degree of interest by friends as well as enemies of those laws. A Nebraska man claims to have invented a process whereby clods of the field will burn with all of the gusto of anthracite coal. Crude petroleum, he says, mixjd with common earth, gumbo and sand alone excluded, with the addition of two other articles, will make a fuel that will burn better and with a e'eaner fire than pine nots. Another Ohio jury has vindicated the primal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of hapiness by bringing in a verdict for $3,000 to one of two colored men, who, with a white woman, were tarred and feathered and driven out of the town of West Liberty, O. To the other man was awarded 81,000, and to the woman, 37,000. Ohio does herself credit by such a law as this, and more credit by the action of her courts that enforce the law. In an opinion submitted Tuesday Judge John H, Baker of the United States court holda that property transferred by a bankrupt in fraud of his creditors cannot be reclaimed by summary proceedings against the bankrupt ard that the only remedy in such cases ia action against the alleged fraudulent transferee or person holding possession of the property. The case as that of John Hoffman of Ft. Wayne, who, before he was adjudged a bankrupt, transferred certain property to his wife and other creditors, The trustees in the bankruptcy case filed a petition asking that the referee compel a surrender of this property. A report comes from San Francisco that the pension attorneys are so zealous that they send out runners to meet the soldiers returning from the Philippines on the wharf. The pullers-in of one firm are said to call out: "Come to the doctor, come to the doctor; he can get you 82 a month more than anyone else.' The military authorities have driven these runners off the military reservation and out of the hospitalB, but they lie in wait for the soldier as Boon as he gets beyond the boundary of military control. Doubtless hundreds of men will be induced to apply for pensions who would not otherwise think of it. Indianapolis Journal.

Baxter, who lived at Lapaz 20 years ago and went from there tc South Bend, died last Thursday of consumption. He served during the war in company C, 20th regiment, Indiana volunters. The common schooliof Indiana have been costing from 86,000,000 to 88,000,000 a year and the new law fixing a minimum wage scale for teachers will increase the expenses about 82,000,000. So isays D. M, Geeting, editor of the Educator-Journal and ex-superintendent of schools, who heartily approves the law. A dog attacked John Goodyear'a sheep in the nortboast part of Center township a few days ago, killed one and bit another quite badly. Now the sheep which was bitten has hydrophobia and hfis been penned up to keep it from hurting the other sheep. It is said to attack almost everything that comes in its way as viciously as it is possible for a sheep to do. Prof. Herring was greeted by a large and intelligent audience in the auditorium of the Washington school Friday evening and the entire audience was pleased with the information given in regard to the origin and growth of trusts, and the discussion of the best means of handling them, There was nothing sensational in his remavks and he advocated no drastic measures for the suppression of trusts. The Loganeport Pharos says that many Illinois farmers are selling their farms in Illinois and moving to Indiana, because they can buy land in thie state for about two-thirds the price of the same kind of land in Illinois, The reason for the difference in the price of the lands is not altogether p!aio,to everyone but it is a fact nevertheless, and many farmers are taking advantage of the opportunity. The Bremen Enquirer says the derrick and machinery of the Bremen Oil and Gas Co,, will be in place Monday and drilling will commence Monday. The work of putting down the well is unu9r the supervision of G. F. Heap an experienced oil man who is assisted by three expert drillers from St. Mary's Ohio. The first experimental well is located on Morgan D. Fink's land one mile west of Bremen.

General Funston's admission that he helped to eat an octopus while on the Aguinaldo expendition gives him an ad vantage over all other American politicians if he chooses to assert it. Populi&t and Democratic orators have showered all sorts of denunciations upon the awful creature, but none of them ever inflicted any personal injury on an octopus, much less assisted in eating one, What would not William Jennings Bryan give to have had General Funston's experience? The Independent says J. A. Yockey is now circulating a petition under direction of Congressman Brick, asking people to state over their signatures that they will be satisfied with his ap pointment as postmaster. The Indepenent leaves the impression that Mr, Brick is not at all satisfied with his declaration to recommend Mr. Yockey and may recall it and recommend some one else. We give this for what it is worth as coming from the Independent, but we think it Mr. Brick ia not satisfied, he should reopen the whole matter and give everybody a chance. The Independent Thursday accused the Republican of taking the report of the North township commencement from the daily Independent. The manuscript of the article and the envelope in which it was sent can be seen at this office; but almost every article of worth that has appeared in the Independent during the past year was copied from the News or Republican without the change of a word. We have often written articles for this paper which the Independent has clipped and kept for a month and then published verbatim. We have not said anything about thib because the little man ought to have some sensible ai tides in bis paper, Springfield, Mass,, is a city of 57,000 population, and as every tramp who obtains food and lodging at the tramps' home is compelled to saw a good lot of wood it entertained 1,472 tramps last year. Holyoke, a neighboring city, finds food and lodging for tramps without pay; it entertained 3,132, and Chicopee, with 16,000, cared for 240 during the year. Some time since it was given out that Chicopee had established a wood pile like Springfield. The trampe who read the papers heard of it, and the nightly average fell from twenty-five or thirty to five or six. When they found that the story was a hoax , they came back. All of which goes to show that the vagrant nuisance can be abated if municipal authorities compel them Jto work for food and lodging,

Mies Dollie Whittenberger a niece of Mrs. Henry Foglesong,died of typhoid fever at her home in Rochester Saturday morning. The funeral was held Monday. There is little cause for idleness in this country now. Workmen in all lines are in demand, and now comes a cry from Kansas for 20,000 men to work in the harvest fields at from 81.50 to $2.50 a day and board. Lafayette is at work raising a fund of 850,000 to secure new factories and already half of the amour.; is assured. If Lafayette is looking for bargains in factories, it should have h id a buyer in Plymouth last Wednesday.

Last week he returned to his native country to vis it the scenes of his childhood, and one of the first things he did when he reached there, was to give ten millions of dollars to the four prinzipal universities of Scotland to be used in educating the masses.
