There' are certain names that appear with great regularity every winter in the charity accounts of the trustee of Center township and they will appear again next winter; the oldfamiliar tale of '-no work" will be rehashed and township orders will be given for food and fuel.

False Report Corrected. Mrs. Henry Koontz desires her friends to know that the account published Thursday in another daily paper stating that she was stunned by lightning, seriously injured and left in a precarious condition which will disable her for weeks, is grossly untrue and unnecessarily alarming to th(se who are interested in her welfare.

The local ministeral association caused a sensation by riling complaints against every saloon-keeper in the city for selling liquor during the Fourth of July celebration. The Rev. William Denham, a. Christian- minister, entered saloons on the holiday, -and swore to complaints. Last evening in a crowded court-room the preachers weakened, and after fining Charles Rankert they agreed to the dismissal of a score of other victims. Teachers Salary Law. GosnEN, Ind., July 26.

PROGRESS OF THE TEMPLE

The Speicher Building Rented and in Good Headway. -It is credibly reported, that the Michigan street store room in the new Masonic Temple will be occupied by II. A. Shambaugh and F. W. Bosworth, who will join forces and increase their stocks, making one of the largest stores in the city. The first courses of stone have been laid, from which ifti outline of the buildI ing's ground plan may be inferred. The drawings of the elevations disclose handsome fronts on the two streets, one of the most striking features being a clock tower on the bank corner, in which a modern time keeper will be placed for the benefit of the businers portion of town. The walls will now rise very rapidly to the second floor, when the Masonic Temple association will take possession and complete the building without delay. A DESIRABLE IMPROVEMENT The Question of Hitching Teams Aain Comes to the Front. At dilterent times and in various ways the subject of a public hitching yard has been before the citizens of 1'ivmouth and at one time it was taken up by the Business Men's association and referred to a committee, where it seems to have been pigeonholed. This paper has at times given the matter attention and now the Plymouth Democrat has again taken it up and we cordially concur in its sentiments. !Xow that the downtown streets are tobe paved; every consideration of cleanliness, healthfulness and economy demand that horses should stand on the pavements as little as possible and it'is a serious annoyance to residents to have teams standing hitched on the private streets. INow is a proper time to make a final disposition of the question in some practicable way. It is up to the council. STARTLING! STARTLING! Horrible Fate Hanging Over, TreasurerElect O'Keefe. We learn from the" Independent that the county treasurer's room in the court house has a "mephatic atmosphere," whatever that may be, and that this dreadful state of affairs was brought about by "some disgruntled politician" who ' dropped a wicked arsenic solution into the buckets while the painters were not looking and thus doomed the whole line of treasurers to slow and subtiel death," in evidence of which it points to the death of Arthur Senour and to the further fact that some other treasurers and deputies have been ail ing. It is cruel to spoil a good story, however wild and improbable, by stating that competent physicians have diagnosed the various ailments alluded to without finding it necessary to prescribe for arsenic on the lungs, but, it seems proper to say that the visions born in the otfice of our pipedream eotemporary are more unreal than those of the universally detested telegraph liar, to which it also falls a frequent and easy victim. S. S. PICNIC-INSTITUTE. A , Pleasant and Profitable Day to Be Spent in the Woods. The Center Township Sunday-school association will hold a union picnic of the schools in Crocker's woods, north of Mt. Olive church, six miles northeast, ou today.

PROFIT IN COWS

DATE AND PARTIAL PROGRAM OF DAIRY INSTITUTE. The Initial Meeting of a Series and what it Means to Farmers and Merchants in this County. The date for the dairy institute to be held in Plymouth has been definitely set for August 13 and 14 and the program has been arranged and will soon be announced. In addition to the speakers from' abroad, who will comprise some of the foremost men in the dairy interests, there will be an address of welcome bv Mayor Jones, a prayer at each session by some Plymouth minister and a speech by Senator John W. Parks on the relation between the fanners and the city merchant. Prof. YV. C. Latta, of Purdue university, who is the superintendent of agricultural institutes in Indiana, has the arrangement of this meeting in charge and is greatly interested in securing the attention of farmers to the movements going forward in the dairy business and the opportunities now presented and increasing for profit to the large or small farmer in that lino. The opening of the Schlosser Pros, dairy in this citv, with a capacity of 10,000 pounds of milk daily, is an event of large importance in this vicinity because of the enormous consumption of milk it will attain when, in the course of two or three years, it will be enabled to work to its full capacity by reason of the gradual growth of patronagc.This will come with an increased understanding of the profits in producing milk. Every merchant in the city is interested in the development of this industry because every milk seller is a goods buyer. That the first institute of this character in Indiana should be given to Plymouth is an appropriate recognition of the fact that such conventions are made possible as a result of a bill introduced in the senate by Senator Tarks and fought through the general assembly by him in the face of a bitter contest in both houses and under circumstances that were discouraging. Prof. Latta was moved chiefly by -this consideration in fixing the place of this first institute. Evcrv farmer within reach should attend it and every merchant in the city should lend it his countenance and active aid. SOUTH MICHIGAN STREET. The editor of "Notes by the Way', in the "Warsaw Union writes as follows in the current issue. "There is one spot between here and Chicago which always attracts my attention more than any other whenever I have occasion to ride in that direction. Z That is the Michigan road where the railroad crosses it at Plymouth. And the reason why I admire this particular spot is that on either side of the "road south of the railroad track is a row of very fine maple trees." These trees make this one of the most attractive sections of road that I ever saw anvwhere. m "I do not know who set them out, but whoever did it was a benefactor of his fellow men. I suppose the people of that vicinity know who he was and they doubtless feel grateful to him for doing it. He needs no other monument, for those trees are a living monument to his memory. One can scarcely wish for anything better in the way of perpetuating his memory than to have his name associated with j something like that. "Is there not a hint for some of the rest of us who may have an ambition to be remembered by those who will be here after we have left the scenes of life's activities? It is those who seek to do something for others instead of working for themselves alone who are thus gratefully remembered. And there are few of us who do not have opportunities at least occasionally for a practical manifestation of this unselfish spirits "I believe we Ought not to neglect these opportunities even though they may seem of little moment at the time. In after years they may be fruitful of good to a far greater extent than we even dreamed. " ' Green-eyed Slander. Valparaiso is sharing the fate of Laporte and riymouth and is being depopulated. The Messenger admits that at least 150 persons have quit the town and gone to Michigan City, Mishawaka, South Bend and other places to work in tne factories and on contracts. Exchange. The übove item, new going the rounds in Indiana papers, originated in Goshen, Where it was born of envy and not of knowledge, at least as far as riymouth is concerned- Thehcgira from Plymouth is not "Visible here, where it might reasonably be expected to attract attention first.
