WM, O. HENDRICKS, OFFICE in Bissel! Block. Corner Center and Laporte Street. Entered at the Plymouth. Indiana, Post Office as Second-Class Matter. SUBSCRIPTION: One Year in Advance $1.50; Six Months 75 cents; Three Months 40 cents, delivered at any postoffice. Plymouth Ind., July 11, ' 901. W0R3E THAN GHOULS. One of the most repugnant forms of "graft" ever developed in this or any state is the so-called insanity trust new beinar probed at Indianapolis. A justice of the peace, a police surgeon a couple of internes in the city hosi tal and a female attendant appear as the leading members of a combine that for many months has enjoyed fat pickings in the fees of insanity in quests, the victims being pror people who called at the hospital for free treatment. Thev were railroaded to the asylum at the rate of one a day "Billy" Loekman, the justice in volved, is a notorious republican pol itician of , the capital, concerning whom much that is uncomplimentary might be said, and the police surgeon Dr. Christian, is a younger but an equally reprehensible democrat whose depravity is sufficiently indicated by his participation in this raid upon the liberties of the people. THE MARCH OF PROGRESS. TVith this week's issue the Ply mouth Republican appears with seven columns to the page, instead of six, and with a complete new dress of handsome type, including headlines In addition to these improvements it presents its readers with the news from everywhere selected and prepared in its own office, something that has never before been done by any paper in the county. The Republican is now the largest home-printed weekly newspaper in northern Indiana and it is as large as any that is printed partly at home and partly elsewhere. It is the cheapest weekly paper published in Marshall county and it contains vast ly more news of local interest than any other, through its connection with a live and up-to-date daily paper, the Evextng News. The price remains $1.50 a year, in advance. The Republican is the oldest of Plymouth's newspapers and in all its long life it has been a part of the vigorous life of the county, ever active in the support of every measure that hr.s tended toward the growth and upbuilding of the community, faithfully recording the local history as it has beeiriXiSde and contributing its full share to the progress of the people and their interests. "While it has at all times been a consistent supporter of a political party it has never ;n joyed the advantages of being maintained at the expense of the public through the party in power, but has earned its own way by its own merit at every step. It therefore owes nothing to any party and is free to be honest with itself and with its readers. "While it believes in and will advocate republican principles, its flrstbusiness is to give the news. It is with a measure of pride that The REFUaLiCAN presents itself in its enlarged and neater form and its experience of many years among the people of this county gives it ' confidence that the improvement will be recognized and appreciated, as every former advance step has met with commendation and encouragement. As Plymouth and Marshall county march along toward better things, so will we,. if we can, march with them and endeavor to be a little in advance. FACTS VERSUS ASSUMPTIONS. The editor of Gunton's Magazine, who is one of the best informed men in the country when it comes to the details of the cost of production and prices,has critically reviewed the statements of Byron W. Holt, of the New York Reform Clüb, before -the Industrial Commission, an abstract of which was published in many papers when he appeared before thg xdy. Mr. J IUI L U1U 11UL piCOCiiL OlttVäOliVOj lfUf clared that the present tariff "ties the hands of the American consumer while the trusts pick his pocket." Professor unton turns to statistics to prove that Mr. Holt is not dealing with U cts but with the usual assumptions of the free-trader.. One of the commodities in the purchase of which the consumer is being robbed, according to Mr. Holt, is steel rails. I Gunton's Magazine compares the American price with the British price from 1867 until last year. In 1867 the American price in gold was $120.12 per ton, and the British 865.70. A duty of 45 per cent, ad valorem was. imposed at first, and then $28 per ton, followed by $13.44 per ton until 1895, when the duty was reduced to $7.84 a ton and has remained at that figure ever since. -At first practically all the steel rails used in this country were made in England, but under the protective duty American mills sprang up, so that the price in this country in 1876 was $52.87 a ton and $41.36 in England. At that time the duty was 23 a ton. . In 1890 the American

price was $31.75, and theBritish $24.02,

the duty being $13.44 a ton. In 1895 the American price was $18.75 and the British $21.90, or $3.15 a ton more than the American price. During 1898 the American price was $4.98 less than the British, and in 1899 $5.95 less; in 1900 the American price was $3.05 a ten more than the British, and in May, 1901, $1.22 less. Thus it appears that under the protective tariff and the later combinations, the prices of steel rails have been reduced $92 a ton in the United States since 1867, while in England the price has been reduced $36.43 a ton. Tin plates furnished the free-trader another subject for assumptions which are swept away by the prices or facts, presented by Gunton's Magazine. "When the McKinley tariff of 1889 was passed not a pound of tin plate wasmade in the United States. From 1880 to 1889, both included, the price of tin plates per box of 108 pounds ranged from $5.25 to $8. Taking the ten years the average price abroad was S2.16J per box less than in this country. "When plates began to be made in this country in 1890, the price, with the duty added, was $5.60 for a box of 100 pounds. The American price fell to $3.52 in 1896. "With the advance of materials in 1899 the price rose to $5 during a part of that year and the first months of 1900. In April, 1901, the price had fallen to $4.20 a box, while the price in London was $3,90, or 30 cents a box- less than in New York. "When the tariff under which the tin plate industry grew up in this country was adopted, the price of tin plates was $5.60 a box here and $3 in London. In April, 1901, the price here was $4.20 a box and $3.90 in England. That is, under the protective tariff the price has fallen $1.40 a box here and advanced 90 cents a box in England. , The further fact that the price of tin plates has fallen 80 cents a box in a year and that the American price was never so near the British price as at the present time cannot be used to sustain the charge of the free-trade orator that the "tariff ties the hands of the consumer while the trust picks his pocket. " PIERRE LORILLARD DEAD Millionaire Turfman and Tobacco Manufacturer. New York, July 8. Pierre Lorillard, the famous turfman and tobacco manufacturer, died at 2:10 o'clock Sundav afternoon at the Fifth Ave nue hotel, where he had been lying dangerously ill of Bright 's disease since his arrival from Europe on the steamship Deutschland last Thursday At his bedside were his children Pierre Lorillard, Jr., Mrs. T.

BURNED TO DEATH Indianapolis Woman Attempted to Kindle a Fire With Oil Indianapolis, July 8.

WILL DRIVE SMART STEERS.

Peculiar Bet of a Colorado Man in London. London, July 8. A story is print ed to the effect that James R. Larkin of Denver, Colorado, bet Samuel Post of Dallas, Texas, that he would drive a matched team of Texan steers into the courtyard of the Hotel Cecil with in twelve months. Larkin and Post were taking tea in the courtyard Sun day afternoon when Rejane, the actress, drove in with her mule team. Larkin said he could get a team of Texas steers that would outclass them. Post said: "I'll bet you could not drive a pair of steers, much less make them look smart. " The challenge re 1 4- 1 S A sb-is r r n1sum, will be deposited within a week with a . well-known- New York man who is now In London. . Kills Wife and Child. Williamson, "W. Va., July 7. Sylvester Green of McDowell county, fatally stabbed his wife and beat out the brains of Ins child with a rock because the wife refused him money with which to gamble. Green escaped to Kentucky. Farm Residence Burned. New Carlisle, Ind., July 9. The country residence of John Currier, seven miles northeast of this place, was burned early Sunday morning. It was a large two story frame building and was totally destroyed together with contents. .The fire is thought to have originated from fireworks the evening before. PROSPECT FADING This morning a report was in circulation to the effect that the Goshen Manufacturing company had closed a deal to remove its plant to Elkhart, having accepted 10 acres of ground and a building desirable for the enter prise. When seen at his office President A. P. Boyer, of the company, said: "The deal has not been closed s yet, but it probably will be. We are now running to our full capacity, employ 75 men and need more room. We are rushed with orders and are doing a larger business than ever before. I have nothing definite to give out now concerning the removal .and will say that the reports are somewhat premature, as details have not been agreed upon." When asked why the plant could not be enlarged in its present location Mr. Boyer said: "There is not sufficient room to erect additional buildings. We are crowded and if a fire were to break out our whole plant would he endangered. What we want is to get ground enough so we can scatter about somewhat." The talk of this factory removing from the city has been going on for a couple of years. A few weeks ago a 1 proposition was being entertained at Plymouth. It is to be regretted that such a flourishing institutions seethe necessity of going out of town for more room. There are plenty of sites here that are available and it would" seem as though satisfactory arrangements could be made to keep the factory here. Goshen Democrat.

The millstone is located In tt.r center of an old burying ground and can be seen a mile away, coming down the hill. It marks the last resting place of a happy miller of the old school, who knew not the cares or worries of a rising or falling grain market, but who ground his corn and wheat for his neighbors and lived contentedly on his small profits. Chiseled on the back of the monument is this poem: A MILLER'S MONUiTEJrT. (A millstone taken from his milLJ Beneath this stone a miller lies. Who left the world before the rise ' -Of modern ways of making floor And hence passed many a happy hour. ' He was not forced to speculate Nor on Chicago's movement wait. He did. not care for foreign trade. But sold his neighbors all be made. Cables and telegrams were rare; The markets did not make him swear. Email was Ma mill, his profits round; Clear was hii head, his slumbers sound. He envied none, he was envied not . - And died contented with his lot. - Cincinnati Star. In the Dvms, There was once upon a time an Egyptian king, so it is said, who built a pyramid and died of melancholy. His name was Dumops. The memory of his tragic history is perpetuated every time we say we are "in the dumps."

RULES A CHICAGO CLUB ft-toete4 to Swim tke Oavcl Im the Social Economic Clab. Dr. Frances Dickinson, who has been pe-elected president of the Social Economics club, is well known In club life &nd is a member of the Chicago Woman's club end several other organizations. The Social Economics club has made itself much talked about recently through its discussion of "how a boy or g'sl could live upon $2.50 a week" an'' by its discussion of whether to

Thompson; recording secretary, Mrs. Kate Johnson; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Sara A. Morse; treasurer, Mrs. J. LL Krebs. Dr. Dickinson is the head of the Harvey Medical college, an evening institution which enables day workers to study at night Girls Outfits Por Simmer Vlalts. When we are to be guests at. a friend's bouse or at an inn, we need not transport thither our entire wardrobe. A little planning will indicate the trim, short traveling skirt, the shirt waist and jacket and the neat sailor hat for the Journey, the pretty reception dress, the evening and dinner costume and the ample supply of fresh waists for everyday wear, with golf or bicycle skirt. A small trunk and a hand bag will usually contain an outfit for a fortnight's visit, and a dress suit case lends itself accommodatingly to the requirements of three or four days or a week. Experienced travelers cross the Atlantic and spend three months in Europe incumbered with less luggage than some young women carry to the White mountains or to the Adirondacks for a single month. For many reasons a trunk is a comfortable ad junct when a person Is away from home, but it should not be too large, and it should be judiciously packed. Margaret E. Sangster in Ladies' Home Journal. A Pretty Veil Roll. A roll for veils will keep them fresh and smooth much longer than if they were folded. Here are directions for making a very pretty one: Cut out a piece of bristol board, 22 Inches In length by 12 Inches in width. and roll it leugthwise. Tie spool cotton around it In several places to hold it firm and then put over it a thin layer of cotton batting, on which sprinkle your favorite sachet powder. Get three-quarters of a yard of taffe ta or satin ribbon five inches in width and, having fringed out about two Inches at each end, cover the roll with it, overseamlng the selvedges together carefully on the right side down the length of the rolL Draw the ribbon neatly together at each end where the fringe begins and tie it with narrow ribbon, a yard of which will be enough for both ends. A crimson roll tied with gold ribbon would be quite pretty. Philadelphia Times. Graduates) From Medical College. An Indian and a Russian woman are among the graduates of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania this year. The -former. Miss Dora Chatterjee.

Miss Olga Povitsky, who came to Philadelphia to visit her brother, has kept pace with her class notwithstanding the meager knowledge of English with which she began her work.

A former mistress of the White House, Mrs. Letitia Semple. daughter of President Tyler, Is still living In Washington and was seen there In public at the reception given to Mrs. Daniel Manning and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Corcoran in memory of his wife and daughter and endowed for the benefit of gentlewomen of southern birth who are In reduced circumstances.
