WM. O. HENOKJCK8, Miff m lfrlf r. OFFICE in Bissell Block, Corner Center and Laporte Street. Hnterea at the Plymouth, Ini'ana, Post Office as Seconi-Class Malter. SUBSCRIPTION: One Year In Advance $1.50; - Six Months ?s cents; Three Months 40 cents, de livered at any postoffice, Plymouth Ind., July 25 1901 The Ohio democratic convention drew four feet of editorial "holler' from the Plymouth Democrat. Think of it! Forty-eight straight inches of "ouch" in one issue! 'o other paper in the state has taken it sosiiard. NO OCCASION FOR UNEASINESS. The New York Weekly Financial ."Review says: '"In the general situa tion there is no occasion for uneasi ness; on the contrary there is much basis for confidence. General business is fairly active," in sound condi tion, and the prospects are for a good fall and winter trade. About the only case of overdoing has been in Wall street. Extraordinary and somewhat confusing conditions had carried prices to an excessively high level, and since it was found that the lifting forces were exhausted a reac tion was imperative. The market has received a severe shock through forced liquidation and some time will be required for recuperation. Mean time stocks have been passing into strong hands, the technical condition being considerably strengthened there by. Liquidation may not have run its full course, and recent bear sue cesses will tempt extreme efforts to wards depression; but good stocks are certainly a better purchase now than two or three weeks ago, when bull enthusiasm was at its height. Last week we intimated that active manipulation was in sight, and that the market would bear cloa-i watching. Events have confirmed these anticipations." FACTS AS TO WOOL The incomprehensible democrats are again talking about free wool and claiming, in their usual Illogical way, that wool is low and that the Dingley law is holding the price down and oppressing the farmer. If the statement is true the Dingley law should be repealed, for one of its express objects is to benefit the growers of wool. Let us see. An ounce of fact is worth a car load of theory and facts are easily obtained. Boston is the great wool market of the United States and the prices are made there. At the opening of the clip this year,in the middle of June, Ohio XX wool brought 26 cents, while a year ago it brought 38 cen.vs. If the Dingley law put the figure at 2G this year,' why was it 38 last year under the same law? But at the same time in 1896, in the happy days of the Gorman-Wilson tariff, the same wool was priced at IT cents, and less than onethird as much was sold at Boston as this year. Those indisputable facts do not fit jn with the hap-hazard theories cf the men who framed and passed the Gorman-Wilson monstrosity, but there are other frets equally inconsistent with their irresponsible notions. In June, 1896, the trade reports contained such items as the following: During the past week the goods movement has been slow and the curtailment of production has continued. The Middlesex Mills have announced a complete shutdown, to begin July 1. The amount of idle machinery is being increased daily and the future gives little or no promise of a return toe en normal activity. The assignment of the Nonantum Worsted Company has further emphasized the disappointing condition of the goods market. . In June. 1901, there was no curtailment, but the mills were refusing to take further orders and new mills were being hastened to completion. Yet wool costs abroad today almost exactly what it did then. Canada is enjoying free trade on wool and the price there is 25 per cent lower than in this country on equal grades. . Canadian mills are on the verge of bankruptcy and their deluded owners are asking for a tariff to protect them. They are frloriously prosperous, even as our own manufacturers were under the statesmaulike Gorman-Wilson law! Free trade was to give us foreign markets for wool, so the democratic wisrt men promised: out the shipments under their law amounted to about half the shipments for corresponding periods under the present tariff. They were going to stop adulteration and talked much about shoddy; but the imports of adulterants under the Dingley law in the first ten months of the present fiscal year amounr, to barely half a million dollars as against fifty million in the same period of the democratic free trade. . The simple truth is that Wool Towers are infinitely better off now tfian they were when Cleveland's congress enacted the law that brought the most enormous wool adulteration, the lowest price of wool and the most hideous depression in manufacturing known in a generation. Free vool means .the annihilation of the wool industry and it is not necessary to go bock of 1896 to prove the assertion.

Congressman Crumpacker announ

ces that he is not a candidate for the republican nomination for governor but that he will be a candidate for re nomination to succeed himself in con. gress. The Plymouth Republican has been enlarged and greatly improved me chanically. The Republican is one of the leading papers of northern In diana, and such substantial evidences of prosperity can not fail to gratify its friends. Indianapolis Independ ent. The work of the advertising men with the big shows to visit this city is certainlv to be commended for the thoroughness with which the work has been done, but so far as adding anything to the attractiveness of the streets is concerned there is consider able doubt. The increase in the consumption of corn foods in this country and abroad and the frequent inadequacy of the supply to meet the demand, together with the fact that the market for such products is yet in its infancy, might suggest the advantages that Plymouth can offer as a location for such a factory. This city is sur rounded by a magnificent corn region and it has in its competing lines of railway reaching all points an advan tage not afforded by many Indiana cities. A lanre factorv here furnishing a home market for our corn would maintain the price at a high level and be immensely beneficial to the farmers, attracting them here with their trade from distant localities. If to this there could be added a mer chant mill for grinding wheat Plym outh's grain market would be its most valuable institution. DEAD AND BURIED. In a double-leaded editorial evident ly intended as a keynote for the In diana Domocracy the Indianapolis Sentinel heartily indorses the action of the party in Ohio in ignoring free silver and dropping Mr. Bryan. The article is headed "A Dead and Buried Issue," meaning thereby free silver and Brvanism. It gives notice to Mr. Bryan that he is no longer in the runng, and that "an overwhelming majority of Indiana Democrats heart ily indorse the Ohio platform." The following is worth putting on record: Mr Bryan sayes that "the monev question is not out of politics." If Mr. Bryan means by this that the question of the "free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the consent of any other nation" is not out of politics the Sentinel must re luctantly, but emphatically, differ with him. The Sentinel begsleave to sav, with all the emphasis it can command, that the silver question is out of politics, if not for all time, at least for as long a timeasexistingconditions prevail, which may be for a generation or more to come. It is out of politics because the American people have three times passed upon the question and pro nounced with constantly in creasing emphasis against free coinage. It is out of politics because the business of the world has adjusted itself to the gold standard, and because the relief which free coinage was expected to afford has come from the increased supply of gold and from other causes. The Sentinel is Mr. Bryan's friend and admirer. It has done him valiant service in the past. It has always believed in him and wants to believe in him still. But it warns him in all kindness that the rank and file of the Democratic party the boys In the trenches the men who go to the primaries are tired of the fatuous Bourbomsm which would ink the party to the corpse of an issue which, however vital at one time, has been killed by the logi 3 of events and buried under a torice repeated avalanche of popular disapproval. People with memories and a little reasoning power will remark that free silver was just as vicious a doctrine in 1897 and in 1900 as it is now. If it was right then it is right now, and vice versa. Financial and economic conditions have undergone no material change beyond the increasing prosperity of the country. In a moral sense free silver was as impossible and as dangerous two years ago as it is today, and it only became a live issue because the Bryanites thought they could ride into power on it. A party that adopts vicious arid dangerous doctrines when it thinks they offer a chance of s access and only abandons them when it becomes convinced they are not winning: cards is not fit to be trusted. RED FLAG OF ANARCHY. Self-Styled Socialists of Chicago Invade Indiana. About 12 Chicago socialists arrived in the city this afternoon via boat and departed late this afternoon on their bicycles for Laporte. The crowd is bound for Indianapolis, which city they expect to reach the latter part of the week and where they will attend the Unity convention. Each TnPTYiVrfr of the crowd diSDlaved a small red flag on his wheel. Several of the party talked from a dry goois box at Franklin and Michigan streets disseminating their doctrines among a small crowd. Michigan City News. These people were in Plymouth last night and spoke on the street in the evening. The red -Sag is a good thing to discourage.

Railroad Development The improvements now under way in the vicinity of this city on each of the three railroads that cross here have their counterparts all over the country. Repairs and betterments are being made everywhere and there is an amazing activity in railway cir cles and in the industries supported bv such construction work. As a sample of the contracts that are taken now by the lines and that they never dreamed of a few years ago, the Wa bash has recentlv closed one for haul m ing a greater quantity of iron and steel out of Pittsburg than half its entire tonnage last year amounted to, and this contract runs for a series of years at a pood price. Twenty vears ago there was not in the world a railroad that could have taken and performed this. one engagement. U is Hot Everywhere. Hifirh temperature prevails over almost the entire United States, and the atmospheric conditions generally have undergone little or no change within the last twenty-four hours. The center of the highly heated area still hovers around St. Louis and Illinois, extending over into Indiana and Kentucky. High barometric pressure prevails over the eastern states, and low pressure with high empcrature orer western states. A few widely scattered thunder showers occurred vesterdav but without much rain. A Business Change. E. A. Fink, the druggist, has sold he bu!k of his stock and will remove o South Bend, his former home, the first of the month, to engage In busi ness there. Mr, Fink has during his residence here Commanded the respect of the people and of the trade and his departure will be regretted. His change is due to the fact that he has at this time an opening of a special character and he feels that his suc cess in business here win be more han duplicated if he takes advantage of the opportunity now presented. A Masonic Faker. W. C. Carmichael, hailing from Chi cago, was in Laporte one day last week and left in the evening without paying his hotel bill. Carmichael represented that he wa a solicitor for the Masonic Advocate, published at Indianapolis. He succeeded in getting several subscriptions with advance payments and then It began to dawn on the minds of several Masons hat Carmichael was not what he rep resented himself to be, the Masonic Advocate not employing solicitors Disher & Martin Bankruptcy, The stock of Disher Sc Martin is beins: appraised today by hisrmuna Mayer, O.

There is difficulty in loaning the money on hand; ANCIENT PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT DENIED BY JUDGE New York, July 24. "No woman has a right to go through her husband's pockets any more than a man has a right to go through his wife's pockets, "said the magistrate in the Yorkville court yesterday afternoon in deciding a case in which Selma Reichert, SO years old, had been arrested on complaint of her hus band, Ernest, a shoemaker. He alleged that she had stolen 57 and private papers from his coat in his store. She admitted taking the papers, but denied getting the money. She was finally discharged. Mr. Levy, counsel for the wo man, told the magistrate that Mrs. Richter was married eight years ago to a man who disappeared. She waited five years and then married Reichter as she had a right to, he said, according o the statute. 'Reichter heard she had a hus band, and that he was living," said Levy, "and that she had not been divorced. Considering himself not wedded to her. lie left and went to Chicago, met a woman with some money, and married her. He then returned to New York. The Chicago wo man heard that Keichter was married to Selma Reichert and that there had been no divorce. She left him and applied for a divorce in the Supreme court, which was granted. Reichter was arrested on Jan. 22 on com plaint of Selma Reichert for abandonment and non-support, and was ordered by you to pay her $7 a week. He paid at my office till three weeks ago." Mrs. Reichert went to Rechert's store with the summons Monday. When her husband saw her coming he ran out the back way. She found his. coat and took numerous letters from it. When Reichert returned he found his coat empty, and he asked the police to arrest his wif o on a charge of grand larceny. Your honor," said Mr. .Levy, "I never heard of such a thing as a woman being arrested for going through her husband's pockets. A woman has every right to do such a thing." "I don't agree with you," said the magistrate. ' 'No woman has that right." rJaoal Ii i i i Iii r i r i i M'xrns.ir. In all ita stazes there OiJio Ä'l should be cleanliia.

SCHLEY ASKS NAVAL COURT

Secretary Long will be flskeä to Appoint a Naval Board ol Inquiry in Accordance with the Laws of the Service. Washington, D. C, July 24. The Post this morning as a result of extensive inquiries says: "Admiral Schley proposes to ask an investigation at the hands of a naval court of inquiry and then to sue Historian Maclay for libel. "His action is the sequel to the developments during the past week, when the entire countryhas been stirred by the publication of the unexampled abuse poured out upon him in the third volume of E. S. Maclay's history of the United States navy, in which publication Schley is said to have run away 'in caitiff flight,' and is, in addition, denounced as a coward, a cur and a traitor. 'The Schley court of inquiry will undoubtedly be one of the most celebrated cases in the naval or military history of the country. The high rank of the omcers involved in the controversy and the intense public feeling which has been aroused will combine to give to the investigation a dramatic interest. Nothing has occurred m Washington for many years that will compare with it. 'The appointment of the court of inquiry is expected to be made by Secretary Long, though it would be in the power of the president to make the selections if he chose. This is hardly likely to occur, however. ' 'Admiral Schley's letter asking for the appointment of the court will be addressed to Secre tary Long, who is the immediate chief. To address the communi cation to the president, ignoring Secretary Long, would not only be a breach of navai etiquette, but would be totally at variance with Schley's careful observance of punctilio as procedure. "Long has already stated that if Admiral Schley requested a court of inquiry he would be Hing to personally select the court.. While he has not made any statement as to its person nel, there is every reason to believe that he favors Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Ram sey and Benham, the two latter being now upon the retired list." With respect to the matters to be inquired into by the court of inquiry the Post says that it might be difficult to state briefly the exact questions which will come before the court, but that Admiral Schley condensed them 1 A 1 A M . in a letter written to senator Hale, chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, Feb. 18, 1893. This letter divided the criticisms of himself into four heads as follows: 1. The alleged delay off Cienfuesos. Cuba. 2. The alleged slow progress toward Santiago de Cuba from Cienfuegos. 3. The retrograde movements on tne zotn and ztn oi May. This refers to the turning of the fleet from Santiago toward Key West.)4. The battle of Santiago and he destruction of Cervera's fleet. A court of inquiry differs from a court martial in that it has no power to inflict a sentence. It is organized simply for the purpose of investigating questions of fact, but it has ample authority to make the inquiry complete and exhaustive. The naval regulations say courts of inquiry "shall have power to summon witnesses, administer oaths, and puni-h contempts in the same manner as courts martiiJ, but they shall only state facts, and shall not give their opinion unless express ly required to do so in the order for convening." Jhe Bride Was Dead. Terre Haute, Ind.. July 24.A marriage license published in the afternoon papers yesterday read: John Allen and Margaret Frazer. Both are from Knightsville, Clay county, and there is u tragedy behind the simple notice. The two were not . married because-the bride fell from an interurban car in this city and died half an hour later in the hospital from her injuries. Allen came over on a later car from Knightsville and got out the license before he learned that his bride-to-be was dead.

FIVE DROWNED IN YACHT The Boat was Struck bv a Fierce Squall and Capsized, Plunging Head Down into the Sea The Dead Captain Blamed for the Accident New Haven, Conn., July 20. Five persons were drowned while sailing on the yawl-rigged yacht Venitzia of the Corinthian Yacht club of Philadelphia, yesieiuay aueriiuoii uunng a nerce A 1 tt. j ; n swept over Lxmg Island sound. The yacht was about five miles east of Sands Point when she was capsized. Those drowned were Arthur T. Colburn. a wealthy spice dealer of Philadelphia, who resided at Delaware City, Del.; Miss Annette Colburn and Miss Elizabeth Colburn, daughters of Mr. Colburn; Captain Flint of Brooklyn, N. Y., the sailing master, and Fred Nixon, a seaman. Those saved were Mrs. Walter J. Spratikle of No. 519 York street, daughter of Mr. Colburn, and James Stanbridge, the steward.. Mrs. Sp rankle s husband was to have joined the party at BHck Rock, off Bridgeport, yesterday afternoon. They were on the way to Bar Harbor, where Mr. Colburn and his family vere to remain for a few weeks. The yacht started from Delaware City last Monday, and was to stop at New London, Newport, and other summer resorts before reaching Bar Harbor. Mrs. Sprankle and Steward Stanbridge were rescued by a tugboat while they were clinging to the small boat of the Venitzia. The tug put into New Haven harbor at 3 o'clock this morning to land the survivors. When the foundering, of the yacht seemed inevitable all of the men rushed toward the cabin to rescue the women, who were vainly endeavoring to fight their way up the companionway, with the water five deep in the cabin. Mr. Colburn and Captain Flint succeeded in pulling Mrs. Sprankle from the cabin, and Captain Flint, Mr. Colburn, and the seaman had just gone down to help the others when the yacht plunged head forward beneath the waves. Mrs. Sprankle and Stanbridge found themselves in- the water near one of the life -boats,, which had broken away from the davitsMrs. Sprankle bravely struck. out. She reacned tne stern oi the lifeboat, which was over. turned, and, clasping her hands over the keel, she held on. Stanbridge swam to the bow of the boat and iid all he could to encourage Mrs. Sprankle. For over an hour they clung there, yelling and shouting for help, and when finally the storm had subsided somewhat they saw a tugboat, with a tow of barges, not far off headed to the east ward. They shouted and their cries were finally heard. Mrs. Sprankle had kopt up remarkably well under the fearful strain, but when she saw the tugboat cutting loose from the barges and steaming to the assistance of herself and her companion she collapsed, Stranbridge begged her to hold out, and in the mean time yelled to the captain of the tug to hurry. The latter reach ed the lifeboat in time, and Mrs. Sprankle was taken on board in an almost insensible condition. . DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve ehould be promptly applied to cut?, bums and ecalds.

SMART GIRL'S FAKE Uses Matrimonial Ad as a Means to Secure Diamonds. Elkhart, Ind., July 19. "Mr. and Mrs. Lante' of Chicago, made a hasty departure from , Elkhart last evening when their scheme to dupe matrimonially inclined young men was exposed. In a Pittsburg (Pa. ) paper some three weeks ago appeared the following advertisement: "A young lady, 27 years old, German ,vishes the acquaintance of I o - """"U VJUJier man She has between 6,000 iauu'?,m vojeci, matrimonv. Address Klara Nahibach, Postand $7,000. Object, matrimonv. ofiice Box 374, Elkhart. Ind." Andrew Gotshiek, of Salem, Ohio, a young draughtsman who came from Germany seven months ago, was one of the numerous young men attracted, and after coriespodence he came here to see her. She steered him to a South Bend jewelry store to select the engagement ring. Her tastes were too high, and he 'tumbled," and postponed buying a ring. Then he excused himself and returned home. The story was disclosed by him, and publication of the facts caused the woman and her somewhat older and considerably less handsome husband to decamp, ostensibly for Laporte. The couple had been at a private boarding house here fora month, claiming to be well-to-do Chicagoans, spending the summer here for the husband's health. It is claimed that at least three two-hundred-dollar rings were bought for the woman at South Bend bv different suitors, and they were later repurchased by the jeweler at 10 per cent, discount.
