A Chicago man named Madden is convinced that Illinois ought to furnish the next president and places his propo sition on the ground of geographical position, importance in the union and loyal repuoiicamsm. lne reasons are all right but there is one thing lacking: available presidential timber. So far this year more than 20,000 set tiers have located along the line of the Northern Pacific railway and the tide is fh wicg with undiminished volume. These people are very largely from the eastern states. We think it is true as a general proposition that any man who possesses the elements of success as a farmer can do better fcr himself in Ind iana than in the far west. He can live here more easily and comfortably, with more of the advantages of civilized life for himself and family, and he can make more money and be less subject to 'loss. It is the unsuccessful and discontented Trho are always on the move and it may be questioned whether the country along the railroad mentioned will reap any great permanent advantage from beiDg filled up with an element of that character. Mr, JL. R. Forgan, president of the First National bank of Chicago, addressed the graduates of Lake Fore-t university the other day and gave them some very wise counsel. "Do not imagine." he said. "that the good positions are all filled, the fortunes all made, the success all achieved." These are very hopeful words to young peoplj just entering upon the serious activities of life. It is apt to appear to th?m that the are just too late to get the good things, that everything worth having is already taken up and that there was room for all until they came od the ucene. 'Ihey eee no place for thorn to start in except in the rear ranks and every rjace above seems to be filled. There should be no discouragement in that; th6 men in front today are the men who were in the rear yesterday aod they have learned that there is always a movement icward the front. The Btruggle is a sharp ore but there are more and better opportunities now for youcg men capable of graepicg them than there ever were before and for those who are mado of the right stuff there is no place closed and unattainable.

The few thus chosen to carry the Eecret Until itc public announcement should be made today hastily arranged B surprise congratula tior, for the happy pair and carried it out by unexpectedly appearing at the train in the early morning with rice, old shoes and floweis, the young women of the party having passed the night with Miss Mary Kendall. The groom is the tnly 6on of Mr, and Mrs. Rudolph C Kloepfer, of the Mew York dry goodB store, and has passed his entire life in Plymouth. He is a young man of fine attainments and high character and is exceedingly popular among his associates, His bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Thomson, and she also has lived in this city ejnee her birth. She is one of Plymouth's handsomest and noblest daughters. While on a visit with aa aunt atPontiac.Mich,, near Ann Arbor, where Mr. Kloepfer has been attending the university, Miss Gertrude yielded to the earnest pleading of the young student and they crossed the .Uetroit river into the Dominion of Canada and were joined in matrimony, maintaining the profoundest silence about it until now, except as to their parents. The sincere congratulations of a host of friends will follow the newly married pair and we join the rest in the hope that their future life may be long, happy and prosperous and all that their young dreams picture it, . " The same crowd of young people has a suspicion that another secret wedding has taken place in their number and will eoon be announced. " A beacon light to the sick and afflicted A life encoutager.

MARSHALL. COUNTY'S WEALTH

A Yat Mine or Riches Afforded by Workable Deponits of First Class Marl In Unlou Township, According to the report of 1900 recently given out by State CieologistBlatchley Marshall county contains a number of deposits of marl, at least two areas of which are now workab!e,being sufficiently large to provide a factory with an output of 500 barrels a day for 30 ears. Such a bed would be equivalent to 1C0 acres in extent and 10 feet thick and is large enough to attract capital. A factory of the capacity indicated would require an investment of at least $330,000 a valuable addition to the industries of any county, The Lake of the Woods in Marshall county is underlaid with marl, but the area within reach is not sufficient to be deemed workable until seme method is devised to take the material from under deep water. The same is true of the Twin Lake deposits, except that they are of less extent. There are several smaller deposits in the Bounty too slight to be worthy of mention. Union township has beds of great value ard in time will doubtless be the scene of much activity in the cement Industry, In sections 21 and 28 on the west shore, 22 and 27 on the east shore, 16 on the north and 15 on the northeast, on Lake Maxinkuekee, immense beds of marl from 8 to 23 feet in thickoess are disclosed and further search would unquestionably show more. The deposits run out into the lake an unknown distance and are available in water not exceeding ten feet in depth. The whole of the east side, practically, all of the west side south of Long Point and the north side from theVandalia water pump to Culver academy present workable fields under present commercial conditions and the marl is of first class quality and purity. The other available deposit in Union township is found about two miles northwest of Culver at the ponds formerly known us Houghton and Moore Lakes in the south half of section 7 and running over into section 18,now partially drained. Here is an area of about 120 acres in which the beds are from 10 to 30 feet thick, averaging 12 feet at least in Moore Lake and 20 in the other, and the marl is of the best quality and very accessible. The impurities run very low and the desirable f jements very high, as shown by analysis. In addition to its great value in the manufacture of cement marl is useful in various ways. It is an excellent fertilizer in soils lacking lime; it will improve the mechanical condition of clay, sand or peat soile; it is an excellent food foi poultry, furniihicg them the necessary ingredient for egg shells; it provides the housewife with the best kind of a substance for polish in e her metal ware, and it makes a fair quality of quicklime, Marl is very plentiful in northern Indiana, no less thad 32 workable deposits being in existence in 11 counties, half of them being in the 13th district. The cement i9 now in common ueefor about forty distinct purposes and its usefulces3 19 extending and increasing constantly, the latest successful application of it being in the consttuction of skyscrapers of concrete laid solid and held in place steel skeletons. For breakwaters, sewers, dams, piers, and other structures exposed to salt or fresh water, concrete has no equal in durability or ease of construction and transportation, For railways and fof public works aod buildinga its growing consumption will be sufficvnt to utilize for many years all the output of all the factories that are likely to be installed. If a factory should be established at every workable marl pit in northern Indiana the entire product would find its market within 100 miles and still be inadequate to the increasing demand. nence wnue xne growth cf the industry is at this time very rapid, there need be little fear of an overproduction or of a failure to find an ample market for the output, In this material Marshall county has a resource more valuable than gold mines and a great deal more certain in quantity, Another Proposition. A guest at the Ross House Monday was D. B. Trumbull, of Laporte, who was here to look at the wagon works plant. He is interested in establishing a wagon factory and would like to rent the property or he would rent half of the novelty plant. He suggested that some of the citizens might purchase either factory and he would enter into a binding contract for the rental for a f xed period. No decision was arrived at Mon day but Mr. Trumbull arranged to continue the negotiations. Beware Of Fakes. A well-dressed stranger ingratiated himself into the confidence of Joshua Domer, a farmer in Laporte county, by representing himself as a cousin and got a week's good farm board. a small amount of each and a note for several hundred dollars. His story was that Mr. Domer had fallen heir to a legacy from a distant rel ative and that he would get the money for the farmer upon proof of identity. It was a case of gold brick with the brick left out. Farmers who read the daily papers are nol so easily victimized.

Slick Scheme. In Monday's Evenicg News there was published an account of a fraud perpetrated on a Laporte couoty man by a 6tranger who proposed to secure for his victim an alleged legacy from a distant relative. Presumably the same faker was in Plymouth yesterday and attempted a similar imposition cn one of our good citizens. A: about half past five o'clock in the afternoon a well dressed stranger called at the parsonage of the Uerman Reformed church and after 6ome preliminaries told the pastor, Rev. Weiss, that a lad

named Baumgartner, who, be said, lived ed in this city 30 or 40 years, ago died. in January and in her will left a legicy of several hundred dollars to the congregation of the church in Plymouth. Tue stranger said that he was charged with the delivery of Ibe money and that in March last be had written a letter about it addressed to the pastor of the church, but that the letter was returned to him and he had concluded to come here per eonally. He went on to say that he was stopping at the Koss House, that he had been busy at the court house all day and that he would call after supper and bring the returned letter and $200 of the legacy, with which he departed. Rev, Weiss noticed the article in the News above referred to and recalled that the man bad . been nervous and uneasy throughout his vis it, so he asked his next door neighbor, Dr. Kafzer, if he had noticed the stranger and the doctor said the man had seen him and represented himself as a general pension agent for Indiana and Michigan and made some inquiries about several persons here. The pastor concluded to be prepared for the gentleman in the evening and had Sheriff Bondurant and Marshal Chaney at the house, but the fellow did not appear and could not be found and the precise nature of his scheme was Dot developed. The church will probably never again hear of the Baumgartner legacy. The man is deicribed as about 55 years of age. with gray hair, whiskers and mustache, wearing a dark coat, light gray trousers and a blue and white striped shirt, but no vest. No such man stopped at either of the hotels yesterday. Later. The smooth sharper who attempted to work Rev, Weiss, pastor of the German Reformed church in this city, was captured at Michigan City Tuesday and now languishes in the bastile of Laporte county. Father Dieckmann, of St. Mary's Catholic church at Michigan City, was the int ended victim of the swindler, who gave his name as A. M, Hendricks, and it was in a trap set by him that Hendricks lost his liberty. The fellow went from Plymouth to the city of theHoosier Slide Monday evening and was in the toils the next forenoon. His scheme was to represent, as he did here, that a legacy had been left to the church and he would collect a email sum in advanee for court costc. He is known to have worked the game on several priests and ministers in Ohio, where be gave bia name us Reilly. While he was in Plymouth the wily stranger succeeded in eecuring $5.00 from Father Yenn on a check for $500, which he left as collateral, and spent the money in saloons duriDg the day. Father Yenn went to Michigan City Tuesday aod identified the man, Mary IS. Tnayer, Mary . Thayer was born Aug. 7th. 1839, and died at her home near Lapaz, June 11th. 1901, a?ed 61 years, 10 months and 4 days. The deceased had been in failing health for several months being taken with heart trouble, and despite medical skill and care of loving friends she died within ten days after she took her bed. She was the oldest daughter of Philip and Adaline Warren, both of whom prcceeded her to the grave. Three brothers and sisters surviye her, all being at her bedside except Mrs. Jennie Bedford, of St, John, Kansas. , She was married to Moses S, Thayer, Feb, 14th, 1858, was the mother of 12 children, 8 sons and 4 daughters. Two eons and one daughter departed this life in infancy. The surviving were at her bedside when her spirit took its fight except two daughters and one son the absent ones being Adaline Miller of Texas, Mrs. AbigaU Miller, of Kansas, and Henry G, of Oklahoma. ' She was a kind neighbor and a loving mother and was resigned to God's will. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Presnell at the U. B. church three miles south of Lapaz Wednesday after noon, Interment in the cemetery near by. Many friends and relatives follow ed her remains to their last resting place.

Mure Pavement, The city fathers mot last evening and enacted the necessary ordinances and de claratory resolutions to authorize the construction of vitritied biick pavements on Michigan street from the river to Cemetery street and on Laporte street from Michigan street west to the railroad. On South Michigan street the paving is to be 40 feet in width aid for the distance it is subject to high water the fourdation will be of concrete. The Laporte street improvement will be 42 feet wide on the business block and 30 feet the remainder of the distance. All votes were unanimous except that fixing the width to be paved on Laporte 6treet west of Center, Councilman Shearer being in favor of covering the full width of the street for the reason that the growth of business in that direction may within a few years demand a wider pavement. A few visitors attended the meeting in the expectation that a remonstrance Bgainst the improvement of North Michigan 6treet would be led, but no such document appeared. Wanted.
