Milford feels slighted because the
Indiana Southern electric railway is

a The exclusive circles of Laporte so
ciety are all agog over a bit of scandal
involving a prominent young man and
an attractive married lady. The story begins with evening buggy-rides and
ends with flourished revolvers, but it is not likely to get into the courts. It is stated that the program of the managers of the Pennsylvania properties west of Pittsburg is to have every mile double track by Jan. 1, 1903, including the Yandalia, and
witn this improvement many curves are to be eliminated and grades reduc
ed to a minimum. Newton Mav", who is in jail in de
fault of bond on a charge of assult and battery with intent, to kill Night-
I watchman Glass, is showing sisms of
breaking down under confinement. His nerves appear to be shattered and he trembles constantly. An eU
fort is being made to procure a bond
and effect his release.

The pastor will preach the concluding sermons of the present conference
year next Sunday Sept. 8, at Poplar Grove at 11 a. m., and at Culver M. E. church at 8 p. m. A sort of 'boo gang" of youthful marauders is committing depredations among the fruit trees in north Plymouth and some of the young rascals are in a fair way to be bought up with a short turn. They are known to the victims of their night prowlings, who are disinclined to prosecute unless ojmpelled to as a last resort. Several peach trees have been badly damaged by their clubs and much fruit has been carried off and destroyed.
A Joyous Occasion Among Sturdy Pioneer
Families of This Locality. We were unintentionally misinformed concerning the place of the dinner
given Sunday in connection with the
reunion of the Staley and Gibson families and correct our former report by
stating that it was at Stephen Staley 's
farm home that the guests assembled after the morning church service at Richland church, where Rev. A. J. Carey, of Lafontaine, Ind., one of the family, preached. The reunion, which was the seventh held by this pioneer stock of Mar
shall county, occurred Thursday last
at the residence of Stephen S. Staley, who, now in his 82nd year, is the only one of the original stock left living. There has been a succession of smaller
reunions and entertaining since, all
full of joy and gladness. Of nearly one hundred who were present those
who come from a distance were:Marion
and Byron Staley of South Bend, Rufus
Swain and wife X)f Denver, Rev. A. J. Carey and family of Lafontaine, Mrs.
Jnmes Stalev and family. Mrs. Eva
Mack and daughter Winifred, Mrs
Helen Sapp, her son, George Sapp and
wife, and others.
Th next reunion will be held at
the residence of Mrs. Anthony Boggs the fourth Thursday in August, 1902. County Commissioners. The county commissioners adjournedt yesterday after completing' the allowance Qf the usual run of bills. A re
monstrance against the Hershberger
ditch, which is to be constructed in
Marshall and St. Joseph counties, proved ineffective because it was not
filed in time, so the petition for the
ditch stands without opposition.
An effort was made to line up the
board in favor of removing the iron fence around the court house but it
was opposed by two of the members
and the scheme is dropped for the
present.
About ten ycirs ago Mrs. Julia A. Work, who was then in charge of a children's home at Laporte, had in her control the children of Eunice Sohl, a widow, who has since married Miles Wilsey and lives at Rolling Prairie in Laporte county. One of the children, William Sohl, then eight or
nine years of age, was given to J.G.
Fleming, of Garfield, Kansas, to raise
and he has lived there ever since, hear-
ig nothing of his mother during all
that time.
Recently he came east in search of
his mother and visited Mrs. Work at
Brightside to make inquiries, but she was unablö to give him any clue as to
the mother's whereabouts. He went
to Plymouth to obtain employment,
his idea being to remain in this vicinity as much as possible and continue his efforts to locate his mother. On
Wednesday of last week he went to Elkhart, where he had secured a situation. In the meantime, w hile he and Mrs. Work were pursuing their investigation, the Laporte Herald published in
its weekly issue an item concerning
the matter and this fell under the eye
of A. F. Fradcnburg, who is an uncle of the young man and resides at Rol
ling Prairie near the mother, his sister. Mr. Fradenburg came to Plymouth Saturday to get his nephew, but wert lack in the evening on learning
that the lad had gone to Elkhart and
after writing him a letter urging him
to co at Once to make his home with
the family.
There was a happy reunion of son and mother who had not met or
communicated in ten years. Younjr
- m , , Sohl is full of gratitude to Mrs. Work,
not only for her earnest efforts in his
behalf at this time but also because of her kindly treatment of him when
he was in her care as a child.
PYTHIAN TEMPLE
The Old Settlers. The old settlers' picnic at Ketcham
and Wilson's Grove nearLapaz was an unqualified success. A large attend
ance of the pioneers of St. Joseph and
Marshall counties was present and
found great enjoyment in the exchange of recollections of early days. J. N.
Wilson, H. G. Thayer, Daniel Mc
Donald and J. B. Stoll were the
speakers and the great assemblage was well entertained by their addresses. An old-time basket dinner
of huge proportions was served under the trees and for that day at least life
was worth living.
Death of Mrs. Keenley.
Mrs. Mary Keenley, an aged widow
whose home is five miles northeast of Plymouth, is dead, partly as the result of injuries received a few days ago from a vicious hog on her farm. She died Saturday niht. her acre beinsr

Major R. P. Davidson of the Northwestern Military academy at Highland Park leftChicagoTuesday.tomake the trip to Washington on two automobile irun carriages, the first and
only automobile battery in the coun
trv. Maior Davidson will carry a
message from Major General El well
S. Otis, commanding the department
of the lakes, to Lieutenant General
Nelson A. Miles, commander in chief,
of the army. The battery is manned
by the following men, students of the
Northwestern Military Academy; Gun
No. 1. Maior Davidson, Lieutenant
George B. Hart, Corporal F. M.
larshberger, Corporal M. C. Green;
gun JNo. 2, Capt. J. A. luagway,
Jeutenant E. W. Knowles, Sergeant I. B. Kchoe, Corporal J. Clark. The
party carries tents, rations, tools and
everything necessary for camping out,
and will be able to make any repairs
needed during the journey. The ma
chines themselves have been built by
students of the academy under the
supervision of Major Davidson and II.
G. McPherson, an, expert mechanical
nrineer of Highland Park. The
r o
motive power is steam, the fuel gaso-
ine. The boilers and engines are
10-horse-power, and the two machines
mnipte cost in the neighborhood of
1 -
$6,000. They are mounted with
Colt's ranid-fire fruns of the latest
pattern, capable of 480 shots per min-
utc. The reservoirs will hold gaso
line and water sufficient for a run of
150 miles.
The run across the country will bo
watched with great interest by military experts, and Major Davidson ex
pects to prove that automobile gun
carriages are practicable. The route
east f romChicago will be via La Porte,
Plymouth and Indianapolis, Ind., Columbus, Ohio, and from there by
the mountain route to Washington.
There will be no particular effort to
make extraordinary speed. Twelve or
fifteen miles an hour, with an occa
sional spurt along a good road, will be as much as the operators desire. The
return route will be through Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, West Point, Albany and Buffalo. A few
days will be spent at the Tan-American. .

Prisoners Will Go Cold. The county council will be in session throughout today examining the estimates of expenditures for county purposes. They are applying the knife ruthlessly in pruning down the requirements of the officers and the total of the published estimates will be materially reduced. The most important item that has been wiped out so far affects the comfort of prisoners in the county jail. The sheriff asked for an appropriation to be expended in heating the jail, for which no adequate provision is now made, but the council, decided to use no money for that purpose this year. Fred Blassingham Married. Frederick Blassingham, son of F. M. Blassingham, who formerly lived at Inwood, was married Saturday to Miss Margaret Hynds, one of the belles of Morris, 111. Mr. Blassingham is in business at Morris, his father residing at Igansport. The newly wedded coupie went on a bridal tour of two weeks in the west.
Death of an Engine. Tuesday evening engine 230, drawing a work train employed in the improvement of tho Pennsylvania road, pulled into a temporary siding at the overhead bridge just east of Donaldson, and she is there yet with the Ft. Wayne wreck train trying to get her out. The ground was soft and mucky under the track and the heavy engine sank and kept sinking until she bid fair to go out of sight. When the wrecking crew arrived early this morning the disabled locomotive was in the ground up to the floor of the cab. By persistent effort they may get her out on solid ground this even-
She is but slightly damaged.

If you are subject to headache in any form you should have your eyes carefully examined. We will do this and give you the beneflt of the latest knowledge and most perfect instruments and we will tell you what kind of glasses you need, if any. We treat all defects of vision successfully and according to the latest and best methods. Our improved ophthalmeter is the only one in the county and is a neccessary instrument in testing the eye.
