Council Opens Bids for Addition al Paving.

w Laporte Street to be Paved the Width of Forty Feet We5t of Center Street. The oünniou council met in spevial session for half an hour Monday evensng to ('pen bids for paving on South Michigan and Laprte streets. Nine proposals were presented by the clerk, by practically the same parties rs were here before. Theie was ivt remonstrance tiled against either of the proposed improvements, though an attempt to secure one,, in the South Michigan street case had leen made. A sufficient numljer of resident property owners could not "be induced to sign. There was less variance in the bids than before and W. W. Hatch & Sons were again the lowest. Their figures are as follows: Clin-on block, gravel founda- . tion, . ' 1.40. Posten block, gravel foundation, SI. 41. Other brick, . 1.4l. Add 19 cents for stone foundation or 'M cents for concrete. Cement tiller, 8 cents. Cement curb, 22$ cents. The controversy over the width to which Laporte street shall be paved was brought lefore the council in the form of a declaratory resolution, prepared and presented by Senator Parker, providing for the letting of bids, to W opened Aug. 15, for paving a strip live feet wide on each side of the street from Center street west to the terminus, thus making the pavement 40 feet in width instead of 30, as is now provided. This resolution was unanimously adopted. The contractor who will pave the street under the bid to be accepted tonight will W the only bidder for the two additional strips and his price must W understood and made binding before the contract is awarded. Farmers Victimized by Cheap Groceries. Traveling Concern that Dupes its Customers But Fails to Contribute to the Public Taxes. The traveling grocery has made another visit to Whitlcv connty, and while sell h:g a. few articles "a cent or two below the regular market price "stick" the purchasers on the balance of their bills of goods. - Concerning the practice of the farmers patronizing this scheme the Churubasco Truth says: "Whitley county has again been invaded by the traveling grocery agent. If they visit you, turn them down. They may possibly (not probably) sell you some articles a few cents cheaper than your home merchant but rest assured they must andvill make it up somewhere. But suppose they do sell you some articles cheaper than the home merchant, how much do they contribute, toward taxes of the county, how much do they pay towards keeping the roads in repair, building school houses, paying for the education of your 'children? Suppose that by purchasing your goods from these traveling fakes you compel the home merchant to quit business, where would you go when money matters are a little close with you and a little time is a great accommodation? You certainly could not go to these foreigners. They don't sell that way. It is cash on delivery. And then suppose you rind upon use that the goods are not quite up to the standard, you cannot return the goods as you would if dealing with a home merchant. You're stuck. Don't 'be penny wise and pound foolish.' Support the men you expect to sup port you." THE YOUNGEST CLUB " The Happy Go Lucky and its Dozen Members. One of the liveliest aggregations of exuberant, youthful vivacity ever organized in any community exists inPlymouth under the name of the Happy-Go-Lucky club, a sororiety composed of twelve young damsels of school age, as follows: Neva Ellis, Mary Vinall, Lizzie Carver, Lois Thompson, Fern Clough, Estella Reynolds, Erma Foster, Maud Wiltfong, Francis Thayer, Anna Wilson, Mary Patterson, JuliaYockey.

Contracts Let for Laporte and South Michigan Streets

The Superintendent Here Iscady for Work Will Employ Local Help as Far as Possible. The common council met Tuesday evening and formally awarded the two contracts for paving Laporte and South Michigan Streets to W. W. Hatch S: Sons, of Goshen, their bids lx'ing the lowest and lest. The contracts call for Clinton block with gravel foundation and sand tiller, except that one square on Laporte street may have a stone foundation if the council shall so determine later. The cost of the Clinton block on a gravel foundation is 1.40 per square yard. The Laporte street contract is to contain a provision binding the Hatches to bid as low as ?1.40 on the two 5-foot strips on that street by which the improvement is to be widened from 30 feet to 40 feet on the portion west of Center street. It was necessary, as a matter of legal form, to go through the same procedure- in paving these strips as in the original work, but it is not at all probable that any bid will be submitted other than the one bv the Hatch rirm and the price will be the same as that for the remainder of the street. The city attorney stated to the council that he had prepared the required bond in the North-Michigan street case and that lie forwarded it Monday for the signature cf the contractors. It is for twice the amount of the contract price. With the execution, riling and approval of the bond all the preliminary work will be completed so far as the north half of the street is concerned. Harrv S. Envart is the name of the man who will superintend all of the Hatch jobs in Plymouth and he arrived here Tuesday to1 remain until the last brick islaid. In the evening he called. upon the city engineer to set the grade st iikt s so that the excavating may.be emimeneed at once. This work will begin at the north end of the street and it is hoped to have a large force employed today. Mr. Envart says" he expects to complete the present contracts" within four months, or by Nov. 1. He will use 70 or 80 men and will give residents of Plymouth and 'vicinity the preference in engaging "them, except that he will bring six expert bricklayers now in the service of the linn. He invites the close inspection of the rwork by all Citizen as it pi ogresses to see that it conforms with the plans and seeirieal ions. lie :s investigating the gravel beds near the city and hopes to rind a suitable quality within teaming distance. If he does not succeed in his search the gravel will be brought bv rail. A Shock to Hichurtl. Malvsl had been waiting for her lover's return for what seemed to her an age. Her heart turned to stone as she thought of him, young, slender, ' but brave to rashness and' recklessness, cioseted alone with her stern father iu the grim old library. The door opened at last, and he stood before her, a flush on his cheeks and an expression in hi3 eye. "Did you see papa, Richard?" she asked with trembling eagerness. He held her In his arms for a moment without speaking. "Yes, dearest," he said at length. "And what did he say, Richard? Tell me what he said! He refused you? Oh, your eyes tell me! He refused; he will not give mo to you? But I will be I am yours! I do not fear his harshnesswe will fly!" But Richard looked down Into her pleading face and shook his head slowly, like a man In a dream. "Tell me, then, for I cannot wait! Was he brutal and cruel to you? What did he do? What did he say?" Richard drew a loug, deep breath and again looked down at the face turned up to meet his troubled glance. He sighed and whispered slowly: "He only said, Thank heaven! and went on readiug." Exchange. Doth Prayer Answered. The last time I Interviewed General O. O. Howard It was on the subject of answers to prayer, and I thought I had him. In his famous fight with Stonewall Jackson the Union forces were defeated, 60T inquired of General Howard: "You prayed before that battler "Yes," he answered. "And Jackson was a praying man. He prayed also." "Yes," he assented, "Then how was it he gained the victory? Did that mean that the Union cause was wrong?" Very gently the good old general replied: "Both our prayers were answered. Jackson prayed for Immediate victory and I for the ultimate triumph, of our cause, vv'e both got what we prayed f o r."I n d epe n d en t.

Even In such cases it is doubtful if too heavy shoes prove of any value. Certainly for farm horses light shoes are much more satisfactory. The effects of such a change are quite noticeable shortly after they are "put on, and in a year's time the extra amount of work that is obtained from a horse will more than pay for the shorter time the light ones may wear.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

The Cuban Tatrlot'a Visit. Something of mystery attached to the visit of General Maximo Gomez to this country rntil he issued a statement to the effect that it had no political sigidllcsinco whatever and that he was here for the sole purpose of paying his respects to the president of the United States and again greeting his old friend and fellow patriot, Tomas Estrada Palma, who during Cuba's late eam- . GEXEHAIi MAXIMO GOMEZ. paign against Spain was the head of the Cuban junta In this country. General Gomez visited President McKinley and personally expressed to him the deep gratitude he felt for the assistance of the United States in Cuba's struggle for independence. No political topics were, it is said, discussed during the interview, which was purely social. Later the general dined with the president at the White House, upon which occasion he met number of the members of the cabinet. During his visit In Washington and elsewhere in this country the sturdy old Cuban patriot was most courteously received in recognition of his heroic services In behalf of Cuba Iibre, to which he has devoted the greater part of a lifetime. Though a native of. Santo Domingo,' he early made Cuba' cause his own. He was a conspicuous leader in the ten years war and has ever since been an aggressive enemy of Spain, conducting an almost ceaseless campaign for Cuban indeiendence until now he sees the approaching consummation of his cherished hopes. General Gomez has been talked of as a candidate for the first presidency of Cuba, but he disclaims any ambition in this direction, being content to spend his declining years as a plain and humble citizen of the new republic which he has so long and strenuously fought to create. Anne Longfellow Pierce's Gift. The Maine Historical society has voted to accept the Longfellow house, which' had been offered to It by Mrs. Anne Longfellow Pierce, and has appointed this committee to take charge of the property: James P. Baxter, Johu F. Hill, William P. Frye, Eugene Hale, Thomas B. Reed, J. L. Chamberlain, Charles F. Libby, Joseph W. Symonds, Professor II. L. Chapman, the Rev.

Colouel Thomas McGregor, Ninth cavalry, who was placed ou the retired list ou account of age the other day, is a native of Scotland and enlisted in the United States army as a private in 1SÖS, rising to the rank of captain during the war of the rebellion. He was brevetted major for gallant services against th. Indians at Santa Maria mountain, Arizona, In ISTIi, and reached his present rank in 1S0S. Civil Governor of the Philippines. YY :iliam II. Taft, who is the head of the civil commission which has just superseded the military authorities in the administration of the government of he Philippine Islands, enjoys In an especial degree the confidence and esteem of President McKinley, who regards v. - i WILLIAM II. TAJT. him as admirably qualified for the position. Both are Ohioans and have long been close personal friends and political associates. Mr. Taft, whose official title is civil governor, Is the chief executive of the archipelago, though the military forces still remain there under command , of General Chaffee, who has lately succeeded General MacArthur. Governor Taft is a native of Cincinnati and is 44 years of age. He is a lawyer and -jurist of wide experience , and prominence and has been much In public life. He served as solicitor general of the United States under, appointment from President Harrison.-. In 1S92 he became judge of the. United States circuit court for the Sixth (Ohio) district. He was made president of the commission which President McKinley sent to the Philippines some time ago to Investigate the conditions of the archipelago, and now that the time Is regarded as auspicious for the Inauguration of civil'rule the reins ot government are placed in his hands.
