The Weekly Plymouth Republican came to us last week enlarged one column to the page and all dressed up in bran splinter new type. The Republican is one of the oldest and most progressive papers of Northern Indiana, and is a credit to the newspaper fraternity. The Laporte Republican congratulates it on this evidence of prosperity. Laporte Republican. Applicable to Plymouth. Speaking of the newly-organized Improvement company in Laporte the Herald of that city says: It evidently has for its mot to, 4 'One thing at a time," and may veil exclaim, "This one thing I do get manufacturing industries to start in or come to LaPorte," That is what the city needs more manufacturing. wpnlth. httiutv and culture, business and prosperity, a tine country surrounding it, modes or ingress ana - ii egress, n im aiwap nau mic c- ' : in l-,.- tlin Koct In t Via I SSi.

COMMUNICATED iin..t u.ii.. DlWk? Mr. Editor: In Saturday's paper I read your somewhat extended article under the above caption, which I suppose the picayune sheet back of you would term a "scare head," and A A I I derived some satisfaction from it in recalling the departed glories of our beautiful city, to which you briefly refer. Your statement of the history of the case is fairly correct, your diagno sis, as far as it goes, is about as I be lieve, and you judiciously refrain from making any prognosis, but the remedv susrsrested is too general. It is like most patent nostrums that are. adver tised to cover all ills to which human flesh is heir. You prescribe energy and harmony, which is as universally applicable to all municipalities as the time-honored advice to keep the feet drv and the bowels open is to all hu mans. The rei't.y proposed is good but it lacks the constituents necessary to fit it to the particular case and you fail to prescribe the dose and the in terval or to designate the venicle or form in which it is to be made up by the pharmacist. I'll tell you what I think, Mr. Editor, and so do you, but I guess you didn't like to say so. I e the hope ful view that you do . i think the town is growing and V.ll grow, but the thing that ails Plymouth' is that "we have in our midst" a few of the worst and most shameless and per sistent growlers, croakers, or what ever you ws.at to call them, that any town ever had. Those fellows don't know progress when they see it. The increased busi ness of the banks, railroads, express companies, telegraphs and telephones, post office and other institutions of the city that unmistakably show pro gressive growth conveys no impres sion to their minds. . If they see any thing it is taxes, but they never see what the taxes pay for. They have for years leen instant in season and out of season to talk the town down instead of up and the fellows who know better and who do things have "uu" e? x -j , , . .1tt . peace in the family. . They kick against one improvement kAtnnta if 1c nfit. fin tlifir rr.t nn against another because it is and they have to pay accordingly. They dis -
courage private enterprise and proph
esy failure. They never see a stranger without telling him "the town is dead." They are busy all the time in discussions of public affairs, but never pay a cent, perform an act or say a word to help anything along for the public good. They regard themselves and are regarded by others as influential citizens but it would be hard to find any specific act of well directed influence to put on their monuments after they are dead. They are fortunately few in number, but like the lone coyote on the prairie, they raise noise enough to carry the mpression of great numbers. I would like to see the live men, the progressive men, the men who make Plymouth a beautiful, hustling, enterprising city, get together and howl down the croakers. Your paper has printed facts enough just in the last month to show the growth and prosperous condition of this city and every day it adds to the story. Why not proclaim it? Some of our former glories have departed, to be sure, but there are others, both now and to come. Tell strangers and visitors the truth, that Plymouth is alive and up-to-date, and when you hear a man, especially one of our own citi zens, say it is dead, make him eat his words and acknowledge that he is wrong. We need and want more factories every live town Wants to grow but we can't get them by letting the croakers do all the talking. Down with the croakers and up with the boosters is my prescription, to be taken as long as needed and in doses to suit the case. Materia Medica. NEW MASONIC HOME.

A Dream of the Vanquished
f.y One Who Was Bit. "When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightniug or in rain?" "When the hurly burly 's done. When the battle's lost and won.'Shakespere. It was a day of triumph ia the old town, When sages bald-headed and gray Sat upon their sittings, with grim determined frown, While brickbats and old scraps enlivened the fray. There was "Doc," the man of flowing locks, And Sam, of the Grecian mold, And John, the man of hard hard-ware, And John, the man of soft soft-ware, And Fred, the man of tools. Quoth they: "Ye gentles, lords and valiant knights, What think je are the rabble's rights When we sit down and jar the town And wither all with our regal frown? We are distinctly and wholly 'it,' And while we're 'it' we'll be 'It' right And lift this town from gloomy night To the blazing glory of eternal light, From mud and gush and oozing Slush, r From splatter and dash and surging rush Of rivers of mud, to streets so clean That English sparrows hungry and lean Will leave the town, And croakers, why just let thein croak, With Clinton and Post on we'll jam their throats!" And they did it, and they brown. did it Know ye the legend of Boss Sheptil vi . He was a man of asphaltum pud nerve. He dodged around no corners, he traveled in no curve. He found a city of mud and slush, He paved it, and a nation howled; A city groaned and winced and growled. They drove, him, Coreolanus-like, to the suburls and the brush. And after twenty years what means this loud acclaim? Why are these banners flying and the city overthrown, To carnival and music and flowers strewn? "BOSS SHEPARI) IS RETUKNIXGTO HIS OWN!" I think I see in the vears to be in this city's temple fair, Three heroic statues of a heroic band, Aloft their figures towering, with a brickbat in each hand. One thickset and chubby, with long set flowing locks, One with face as Grecian as and rare, Pericles And one still thicker vet. the man of hard hard-ware. And below this mvstic legend will be graven down: 'THE MEN WHO PAVED TIIE TOWN!" "I am usiog a box of ChamberlaiD'a Stomach & Liver tablets and find them he beet tbiDg f r my stomacn l ever used," eays T. W. Robinson, Justice of he peace. Loomie. Mich. These tablets not only correct disorders of the stomach but regulate the liver and bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect Price 25 cents per box. For sale by J. W. Hess. HITS THE PIPE AGAIN The Independent Revives as Fresh News a 17-year-old Story. The ridiculous antics of the queer little man who prints part of the Ind ependent have long since ceased to be surprising or even amusing except as an occasional gambol is a little wilder than the rest. Saturday he had a story about the Three I railway com ing to Plymouth, on a line from Knox to Toledo, and said that the engineers had been here Friday and marked out a line through Plymouth. The chief trouble about the story is that it is about 17 years old and was copied from a Republican of about that age, a spec ies of theft that is not without prece dent in the Independent shop. The railway in question owns a line from South BendtoStreator, 111., and leases a line from South Bend to St. Joseph,Mich. Its objective points are supposed to beSt. PaulandDetroit, the latter city to be reached by a short line extension from South Bend or St. Joseph. At the present time its attention is wholly occupied with the new Spring Valley and Northern line in Illinois and it has no visible interest in anv work at the eastern end. The old Plymouth, Kankakee ind Pacific proposition from Knox eastward through Plymouth and Goshen is dead beyond all hope of resuscitation. If the Three I had wanted to get to Detroit by the Plymouth line it would not have abandoned the grading and bridging it already possessed on that line when it gave this city the marble heart and struck off toward South Bend. We wish it would build from Knox through Plymouth to Detroit, but there is not at this time the slighest evidence of such an intention.
JOHN ROBINSON'S SHOW
A Gorgeous, Sumptuous, and Impressive Augmentation. To speak of the merits of John Robinson's Ten Big Shows Combined is merely "love's labor lost" with the people of this nat ion. There is not an amusement lover on the continent that is not fully cognizant of the fact that it is now and has ever been the best among the best. Everybody does not know however that during the last winter's vacation the show has received augmentation so vast and so important as to dwarf by comparison even its own great exmoitionai excellence. We allude to the grand, gorgeous and sublime biblical spectacle of "Solomon, His Temple and the Queen of Sheba, " in which innumerable people are active participants, and which is complete and scenographic effect, typical reproduction of bibical personages and events prolific in pageantic and processional features, lavish in entrancing jallets and terpsichorean divertisements, and rich in trappings and appointments,requiring for its produc tion, the largest stage ever constructed, and conspicuously portraying sacred events, scenes and incidents such as the Judgment of Solomon. Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, the City of David. The Palace and Temple, the Walls and Towers of Jerusalem, Solomon's "00 wives, the Sacred Ark of the Covenant, the Great Ivory Throne, Procession of War Chariots, Slaves bearing incense, lovely Caesset Danc ing Girls, martial and courtly parades exciting chariot races. This eminent ly moral, historical and mind elevating spectacle will commend itself to every lover of the sacred and beautiful. The Robinson Show with its sublime spectacular accession 'is to exhibit in Plymouth Monbay July 29. A Ship On Fire New Youk, July 19. The fullrigged shrp Commodore T. II.

BENEFITS OF INSURANCE
Letter From Aaron Greenawalt Show ing Results of a Union Central Life Policy. Plymouth, Ind., July 16,1901, W E. Bailey, Dear Sin: I can personally attest to th i fact that the company you have represented so long in this vicinity, The Union Central Life Insurance Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, does all and even more than they state in their life rate endowment policies. I took out a policy with you for $1,000 on i the 15 annual pavment life rate en dowment plan at age 49, agreeing to pay them an annual premium for 15 years the same as you, or any other j responsible company, would have charged me for a like policy, payable at my death with annual dividends. I selected to leave my dividends with the company on the e endowment life rate plan and on tne 30tn or June,! this year, you handed me the pany's check for $1,022.10 in ment for the policy as an endowment, just 16 years from date of policy. The revised rate book as you showed me placed the time when this policy would likelv mature as an endowment at 18 years, hence I received it in two years less time than estimated in the contract and $22.10 more than was promised in the contract. I am certainly well pleased with the con tract I made with ti?e company and j were I of insurable age would at once 1 take oil", another policy on this popular plan of endowment life insurance. I want to urge my friends who are insurable to investigate this company before giving their application for insurance. The company will treat you fairly and concede any accommodation you may feel necessary to ask of them. You may make any use of this letter which may seem best for you and the company, as it simply states the facts as to my relations with the corporation and yourself as their agent. I am very truly yours, Aakox Gueenaavalt. The above letter of Mr. Greenawalt is an acknowledgement in settlement of one of the many policies which I have written for the citizens of Plymouth and vicinity during the past 19 years of my agency and for the information of such policy holders and those still uninsured for the amount they ought to carry, I want to say that the Union Central Life Insurance Co., will pay to the holders of such policies in this county, with"n the next six years, over $50,000 as matured endowment. There is no estimate as to what you will receive but a guarantee to pay the face of the policy when it matures. They are the cheapest and most satisfactory endowment policies written today. I am ready to show results and., comparisons with any company doing business in this district and will furnish such items as will lead to a full understanding of these policies to any one on application.

The most foolhardy man who ever risked his life, or the most infatuated gambler who ever risked his fortune, is a sage compared with the man who attempts to get the best of Nature. The foolhardy man may succeed. The gambler may win. But the man who takes chances with Nature is bound to lose. If the obituaries of tens of thousands who are cut down annually in life's prime were truly written death would not be attributed to this or that form of disease, but to an attempt to. evade the necessary laws of health. The weak spot in the modern ' man is his stomach. It is in disease of the stomach that many of the maladies begin which carry off the busy men of the day. The seed of disease once planted in the stomach grows and spreads like some climbing parasite about a tree. It throws out a tendril about the heart and presently another which grips the lungs, and others again which take hold of kidneys and liver. Then suddenly the man is smitten by heart disease or lung disease; or suc cumbs to some malady of kidneys or liver. The real seat of disease is the stomach. And one of the reasons why the diseases of the other organs often fail of a cure is that the treatment ignores the stomach, and attempts to treat directly the other organs, whose diseases ire only symptoms of disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a stomach and blood medicine, cures diseases of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc., by curing diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive systems. "For six long years I suffered with my liver, kidneys, and indigestion, which baffled the best doctors in our country," writes Mr. E. L. Hansell, of Woolsey, Prince William Co., Va. I suffered with my stomach and back for a long time and after taking a quantity of medicines from three doctors, I grew so bad I could hardly do a day's work. Would have death-like pains ir. the side, and blind spells, and thought life was hardly worth living. I decided to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce and his staff of physicians. They said my case was curable and I was greatly encouraged. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets, as advised. Before I had taken half of the second bottle I began to feel relieved. I got six more bottles and used them, and am happy to say I owe my life to Dr. Pierce and his medicines. These words are truths, as I live, so if this testimonial can be used in any way to be of benefit )ou need not hesitate to use it. I shall stand for the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute as longas life lasts." DON'T DELAY. Disease never leaps on a man like a lion from ambush and strikes him down at a blow. However suddenly a man may be stricken and however deadly the disease, the time was when it was a little thing, easy of control. If you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, or any form of stomach "trouble," don't put off the proper treatment. "Qolden Medical Discovery" will cure diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition at any stage, but the cure will be quicker the earlier it is begun. , "For twelve long months I suffered untold miserj," writes Mrs. Mollie Colgate, of Randolph, Charlotte Co., Va. " No tongue could express the pain that I endured before I (commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine. I was not able to do anything at all. Could not eat anything except bread and tea or if I did the top of my head hurt so it seemed it would kill me; with all that I could do it would burn like fire, but now since taking ' Golden Medical Discovery I can eat a little of almost anything I want and can do a good day's work as well as anybody can. Am better than I have been for years. I think your medicine is the best that ever was made, for it is the only thing that ever did me any good. I tried many other kinds, but none did me any good but j'our 'Golden Medical Discovery and 'Favorite Prescription. I can never praise them too highly to anyone who suffers as I did. Sick people are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All correspondence held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Write therefore without fear as without fee to Dr. Ii. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no alcohol in "Golden Medical Discovery," and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and other narcotics. Do not allow a dealer for the sake of making a little more profit to foist on you a substitute as "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery." There i no other medicine so good for you.
