If that's an infallible sign, then a boom is certainly here. . Jobs are open to any one who cares to try his hand at tiring or braking, especially the latter, and there is no longer any excuse for the existence of the "Wtary Willies."

i'ridav. An outfit of roaming horse-traders struck town Saturday and opened up for business on Center street op posite the M. E. church. They had half a dozen wagons and buggies and were welll equipped for comfort and convenience. Thursday night a horse and buggy were stolen at Winamac and the bug gy seat contained five hundred dollars in gold unknown to the thief. It is not known what direction was taken bv the thief. The buggy has rubber tires and a large reward is offered. Geo. Knoll started his big eighthorse plow on Laporte street Friday morning and the pavers and curbmakers are rapidly catching up with him. It has been suggested that while the work is under way in the business portion of the city a night shift ought to be put on, thus short ening the time in which the merchants will be inconvenienced and also advancing the improve ment more rapidly and getting it out of the way of bad weather that is likely to come on at any time. A rainv week coming now would leave Michigan street in terrible shape and cause immense annoyance and doubt less some damage from flooded basements. The suggestion is a good one. A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT. Teachers of Marshall County Execute an Excellent Progräm. t The entertainment given by the teachers in the court room last week consisted of recitations, stories, vocal and instrumental music and was one of the best entertainments ever eriven in this city. The -institute o closed Friday afternoon. The attend ance and interest at the institute has never been equalled in this county The trustees of the several townships have all their teachers employed and everything ready for the school work of the ensuing year. . Notice of Opening of School. High School pupils will be in attend ance on Friday, Sept. 13, at 1.30 p.m. All other pupils on Monday, Sept. 9, at any time between 8 and 10 a. m. Pupils who have attended other schools, but were not in the Plymouth schools last year, will be in attendance also on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 8 a. m. at the Washington School building. Pupils living outside of the city must bring a certificate of transfer from the Township Trustee or pay tuition in advance at the rate of $2.00 per month in the High School or $1.50 per month in grades below the High School. Tuition should be paid to W. M. Kendall, Sec, and the receipt therefor sent by the hand of the pupil to the Superintendent of the Schools. 41t2 R. A. Chase, Supt. of Schools. No Room for Such Cattle. We believe the members of the legislature from Laporte county were among those who voted for the fool law to fix the wages paid to school teachers and people who labor on public works. Undoubtedly the law is not constitutional and in any event it is an assumption of power and paternalism wholly unwarranted in good morals or common sense. Probably the next time the flabby statesmen will attempt to fix the wages of hired girls, hastlers, professional - men and the price of onions and turnips, but there is not going to be a "next time" for these fledglings in legislation. Michigan City Despatch. Another Fake Concern. Attorney-General Oren of Michigan has filed a quo warranto bill' against the League of Eligibles, otherwise known as the League of Educators, asking that its officers appear within twenty days to answer charges against them, ne charges that the league obtains its contracts by fraud and misrepresentation, that tbey are in the nature of lottery schemes and are in violation of the laws of the state. Oren 's action has caused a sensation, as it is a well-known fact that thousands of citizens are holding policies in the league. It attempted to do business in Indiana but could not comply with tho law. Death From Typhoid. Oliver Terry Morton Shirar, aged 19 years, son of Emanual Shirar, sexton at Oak Hill cemetery, died at 4:30 o'clockFriday morning of typhoid fever at the residence of his father in south west Plymouth. The funeral services was held by Rev. Upson at the house Saturday afternoon at 2o'clock. The deceased has been sick about two weeks. Increases human euergy, makes soldiers of weak men. The world ha? little pity for a man who having lost his grip does not regain it by taking Rocky Mountain Tea. 35c. J. W. Hessf

STUMP ROBBERY

One of the Worst Criminal Acts Ever Committed in Marshall County. Later reports confirm tho meager information given of the outrage perpetrated on Jacob Stump at his home inJ-Polk township, last Thurs day morning. Mr. Stump lives on his farm not quite two miles due east from Teegarden, his family consisting of his w ife and adopted son, James. He is a respected citizen of many years' residence in that vicinity and is in comfortable circumstances but by no means wealthy. It was between one- and two o'clock in the night when the little family was aroused by the forcing of a win dow, caused by the use of a heavy piece of timber in hands of the marauders. Mr. and Mrs. Stump at once arose and partially dressed, and by that time there were half a dozen men in the house, all disguised by handkerchiefs over their faces and slouch hats pulled over their eyes; six other men remained outside as pickets. The aged farmer shut the bedroom door to keep the men out of the room, but the boy asked to be let in, so the door was opened for his admission. The robbers began at once to ransack the house, then forced their way into the bedroom and tied the three occupants of the house. They demanded to be told where the money was hidden and getting no satisfaction they looked under carpets, in cupboards, bureau drawers and elsewhere, searching the rooms upstairs also, but found only three dollars, which, with Mr. Stump's revolver, they took away. Each man had a torch and a revolver. As they passed out of the house they helped themselves to a basket of peaches, called Mr. Stump by name and bade him good night, taking the road wes": toward Teegarden. They warned the Stumps, under severe penalties, to give no alarm until morning. The boy was the first to free himself and he then helped to liberate his foster parents. They remained quietlv in the house until 4 o'clock, when they went out and told the neighbors of their experience, but no traces of the robbers could then be found. It seems that there had been a report in that vicinity that Mr. Stump had a large sum of money in the house and this doubtless drew the raid upon him. Mr. Stump is a Dunkard and is verv much averse to courts and litiga tion, besides fearing retaliatory meas ures should he invoke the law, and he therefore is disinclined to make any effort toward detection and prosecu tion. The young boy, who is eleven years old, claims to have recognized several of the thieves and tells their names, but the old couple claim to have no knowledge of them. The boy's account implicates several resi dents of Teegarden and laborers on the B. &0. Ry. Two Teegarden men, one a laborer and the other a farmer, claim to have overheard several men plotting the robbery before it occurred. The outrage is of such a heinous character that the officers cannot overlook it and doubtless efforts will be made to break up the gang of des peradoes that has long infested that neighborhood, principally as poultry thieves heretofore, and punish them for this latest depredation. National Glass Company's Exhibit, Pan American Exposition. The above company, which operates twenty-one plants, with main office at Pittsburg, Pa., has erected a complete factory on the Pan-American Grounds and show all processes of manufacturing glass from the raw material to the finished product, varying in value from a few cents to hundreds of dollars for each piece. They also show processes of cutting, engraving, etching, decorating and spinning and weaving giass into cloth. They exhibit a full size figure of Miss Maxine Elliott, the celebrated actress, draped with dress woven from glass, and furniture "upholstered with glass cloth. Their exhibit is the only manufacturing exhibit on the grounds, and is really the best educational feature of the Pah-American. 41t2 Profit in Onions. The onion crcp on the marsh is now being harvested. It is not so large as in former years, but is of fair quality. The crop will run from 300 to 500 bushels to the acre. Prices range from 40 to 60, cents a bushel, wnich more than compensates for the decreased yield. A small army of boys and girls and men are finding employment on the marsh. The fields which were visited by the hail storm six weeks ago are about as good as any others and it now developes that the loss to the growers from this cause was very slight.

ANGRY AT BUSS

Bourbon People Hang Michigan's Govcrn or in Effigy. Gov. Bliss, of Michigan was hanged in effigy at Bourbon by an angry crowd of depositors who lost money in the defunct Farmers' bank, of that place. through its defaulting president, A. C. Probert, of iles, Mich. Probert's bank suspended . payment pril 2, when he immediately left for Michigan. The governor of Indiana issued requisition papers on Gov. Bliss, the case being first argued in Detroit, July 26, when a continuance was granted until Tuesday at Lansing, when he again postponed the hearing till Sept. 5. When this report reached Bourbon a majority of the depositors held an indignation meeting at the city hall, with the results that they hanged Gov. Bliss in effigy from the balcony in front of the building where Probert formerly conducted his bank. The foregoing, taken from Chicago papers, is a fake pure and simple, the figment of the famous Bourbon telegraph liar's imagination. Familar Scenes. Our continued story in this issue carries its readers to familiar scenes. It is easy to recognize Long Point, Maxinkuckee village, the Lake Vijv grounds, the road through Burr Oak to Yellow River and the old Indian chapel on the bank of Twin Lake in the descriptions and allusions in the story. The next instalment will contain the account of an exciting fight on the river just north from the lake and that will be followed by an adventure at the mouth of the river that might be repeated almost today. GREATEST WOMAN, IN HISTORY Brave Words of a Missouri School-mistress Applicable h Indiana. The 200 teachers attending the institute at Atlanta, Macon County, Missouri, were asked by Superintendent F. L. Thompson the question: "Who is the greatest woman in all history?" Queen Victoria led in the answers given, with Frances Willard and Helen Gould next. The answer of Miss Nannie Vickroy, teacher in the New Cambria school, which was awarded the prize for its originality, was: "The wife of the Missouri farmer of moderate means, who does her own cooking, washing and ironing, brings up a large family ol girls and boys to be useful members of society, and fincis time for her own. intellectual and moral improvement is the greatest woman in all history." SUSPENDS STATE TREASURER Governor Longino of Mississippi Calls for an Accounting. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 29 Governor Longino signed a document yesterday suspending State Treasurer J. R. Stowers and appointing G. W. Carlisle temporary treasurer. Stowers, in his statement given out last Friday, said that the 107,000 missing and unaccounted for when the governor counted his cash on Aug. 15 was deposited in banks by his cashier, Raiford, under his (the treasurer's) direction, which is forbidden. by law. All the banks of Jackson having denied that they had any of this money on deposite, the governor last night wrote Stowers for a full and complete statement in writing as to where the deposits were made, and all things connected with the transaction. The governor required an answer by 9 o'clock yesterday morning. At 11 :15 o'clock today the goyerndr received a reply from the treasurer, the contents of which have not been made public. Find Immense Cavity in the Earth. r Dalton, Ohio, Aug. 30 An immense cavity in the earth 250 feet below tho surf ace was struck yesterday by oil drillers at this place and into this has poured the water supply of the village.

SYRACUSE CEMENT

What Our Neighbors Are Doing With Their Marl Deposits. The following from the Warsaw Times is interesting in view of the great marl deposits existing in this County. A little more than a year has elaps ed since the Sandusky Portland Cement Company located their plant at Syracuse, Ind. During that time the town has enjoyed a period of unparalleled prosperity and wondrous growth, until Syracuse is now changed from the dormant hamlet that it was then, into the most thriving little city in Northern Indiana. Enjoying this prosperity as they have the people are yet bewildered at the contrast between w hat now is, and w hat is yet to be. Superintendent Reilly of the cement works has just been granted $400,000 with which to enlarge the plant, and will begin work on the new building by the first of next month. Mr. Reilly hopes to bring the capacity of the plant from 600 up.to 1,000 bar rels a day, which will necessitate the employment of almost twice the num bcr of men now employed by the com pany. Nor is the town to be outdone in the way of municipal improve mcnts. Contractor 01ds is now plac ing the pumps in position, and in a few days-water will be turned into the pipes of the new system of water works. The board of trustees has, by resolution, expressed its desire to construct a complete and very unique system of sewage, which, meeting the approval of the citizens of the town as it does, will be pushed, with all pos sible vigor. A franchise having been granted, a surveying party is now at work surveying an electric line from Goshen to Pickwick Park via Syracuse, which, when built, will give towns of northern Indiana immediate connect ion with our beautiful LakeWawasee, where thousands of people are now spending the season in their summer homes.
