The Evening News on Friday and Saturday again demonstrated its superiority m the local newspaper field and emphasized the difference between a home-print paper and one that is half printed in another state. Friday afternoon, after go.'ng to press, we received the intelligence of the cruel attack upon the president and in a little while we had on the streets an extra edition containing the news up to 6:40 p. m., hours later than that presented by any Chicago paper that reached here that night. Situruav we were able to issue an extra at noon presentincr the news twelve hours later than that contain ed in any Chicagt) papers reaching here that morning, and our regular edition brought the news up to 3:30 p. m., the time of closing the forms, and ful)y three hours later than any Chicago evening paper brought here that day. No other Plymouth paper was able to get the news or to print an extra edition. No other paper in Plymouth received a word bv telejrraph. The Independent, in its regular edition copieu me news we naa in our noon extra and refused to accept or pay for the only message that was sent to it one that had been sent to us first by the Uniou News company and was no used because our regular telegraphic service, to which we have been regular subscriber since the opening of the Spanish war, was in good work ing order and kept us fully advised as the original messages in our office show. The Independent is accustomed to boast of its "perfect telegraph ser vice." it is now sumcienuy clear that it has no telegraph service what ever, and it never did have. What i cannot steal from us or from the tele phone office it does without, just as i cua aunng me war wnen we recened telegrams hourlv. A CHALLENGE ACCEPTED rl he editor of the Democrat fears that the democracy of Marshall count v may wish to renominate the present state representative; he preferred any one else two years ago, yet the present representative was nominated without his support or the support of his paper. Should he decide to ask a renomin?.tion, lie has no fear but that he has friends sufficient throughout the county who are satisfied with his record as a public servant as well as his unswerving democracy. Plymouth Independent. To this end (democratic harmony) we do not intend that the editor of the Independent shall deliver over the 3,500 loyal democrats of Marshall county to the gold bug reorganizers as he has agreed to do, if we can help u and we ininK we can. Plymouth .Democrat. Thus the long-accepted organ of Mar snail county democracy accepts the wager of battle flung down by the would-be organ and the battle is on in deadly earnest. The "marvelous career" of the "misfit representative," "who has been honored by the demo cracy of Marshall county beyond hi: deserving and certainly beyond his merits" the words indicated as quot ed are from the article referred to is Held up and exposed to the iväe gaze of the public in a two-column "roast" in the Democrat, which terms him a party-wrecker and a pre varicator and proves it on him by an abundance of conclusive evidence. The trading stamp representative must now be a candidate for renomination or back water and the recognized party organ must oppose him or turn tail. The awful din of the swash-buckler swashing on his buck ler will now be heard in the landjuntil the contest is concluded. lion. John B. Stoll, of South tend, thiuks jlev. II. Atwood Percival formerly of Mishawaka, now of Chi cago, struck the keynote when he said: "Since our noble president lives, hope must be the master emotion of our nation. From this day iorwarü and forever let us suffer no man, of any nationality on God's earth, to display the red rag of anarchism within all our borders. Then deport every one of them to some penal colony the men to one island and the Emma Goldmans to another a thousand miles away and keep them there till the last of the accursed race is dead." Amen! Amen! The shooting of President McKinley occurred at 4:12 yesterday evening, just 12 minutes after the Independent carrier boys had left the office. Independent. .The massive intellect from which the above'statement emanated might now devote itself to the problem of explaining how the news was actually known in Plymoutli thirty minutes before 4:12 and was in print in Chicago before , that hour. The doddering dickey does not know of the difference in time between Euffalo and Plymouth.

PRESS COMMENT Even Admitting Insanity. But great as is the personal outrage

and calamity, it is overshadowed by the unspeakable disgrace brought up on the Nation. The assassination of he President of the United States puts a st'gma on the American name of which every citizen must bear his part. It was hard to bear in Abra ham Lincoln's time, it was harder when Garfieid was struck down; it is harder still when for a third time - we are brought face to face with the pos sibility that our free institutions and laws may perhaps harbor and nurse enemies to established government and representatives or government as deadlv as those who nest and breed in Europe. Even if it should prove that the assassin of President McKInlev was a lunatic, the question will still remain, who furnished a motive for his crazy act and what gave direction to his murderous bullet? If he had simply a homicidal mania, why did he attempt to kill a President of the United States and one of the most gentle, lovable and philanthropic men that ever held the office? Tbe answer to this question places a fearful res ponsibility on those who attempt to array class against class and to excite personal hatred of the constituted powers of government. Indianapolis Journal. A Deep Damnation. Every good man and woman every where will hope and pray for Presi dent McKinley 's recovery. Personally a kindly and amiable man, the strong est critics of his political principles and policies esteem him as a citizen and have a wholesome respect for the high office he has filled with so much dignity. It has been his fortune to be identified with some of the most important events in the recent history of the republic, and, however much one may differ from his political prin ciples or however strongly one may dissent from the measures which he has carried out, there has been litcfe bitterness against his personality, and men of all parties have the kindliest feeling for him as a man, while every patriotic citizen holds the office he occupies in the profoundest respect. His death from the assassin's bullet would be a national calamity" not only because of his worth and character as a man, but because "the deep damnation of his taking off" would mean more than the murder of the. foremost citizen of the United States, it would mean another serious blow at social order and reveal a continuing and serious menace to all government and ta civilization itself. Indianapolis Journal. He Trusted the People. In his public life, too, he had been equally blameless. He is not of the stuff of which' despots are made. On the contrary he believed in and trusted the people, and was, if anything, too willing to be guided by their wishes. One can understand how the subjects of a cruel and brutal despotism may occasionally flare out in violent and even criminal resistance to it. But here we have the constitutional head of a free and constitutional government, a man who loves liberty and has gloriously risked his life in its cause, made the target for the wicked bullet of an anarchist. And this is the first attempt of an anarchist to murder anAmerican president. Lincoln was the victim of the bitter hate engendered by civil war. Garfield was slain by a disappointed office-seeker whose grievance was almost wholly personal. But we now learn that our presidents are not safe from the hatred of the professional anarchists. This is the significance, and the only significance that the deed has but it is enough. Indianapolis News. Stricter Immigration Liws. If one had been asked yesterday what ruler in all the world were least calculated to arouse the murderous passions of the anarchists, one would have replied that it was William McKinley, He had been exalted by the votes of a free people; he executed laws that accord to the humblest citizen rights as ample and. far-reaching as are enjoyed by the mighty ones of earth, laws that made every man a sovereign. His mild, quiet disposition, his benevolence, would far remove him from the class of arrogant, self-assertive rulers likely to create personal animosities. Nay, his very political enemies imputed to him no greater crime than an inordinate wish to please everyone. And yet this man is sought out as a mark for the anarchist's bullet. We must have stricter immigration laws to prevent the importation to these shores , of the offscouring, the scum of the old world. We must have Jaws that will provide for an adequate system of surveillanct. Anarchists must be made to know and to feel that liberty is not license. Ft. Wayne Journal.' Senseless Viciousness. No act could . have demonstrated more clearly the brutal and senseless viciousness of the criminal anarchist than this assault. It is not the dictator or the tyrant misusing mon-

archical power whom the anarchist

criminal would abolish. His attack is against any and all kinds of organi zed law and order, be it royal or free and democratic. The crime commit ted yesterday, if it shall cause Ameri cans to stamp out anarchy to the last vestiges, will serve even more to awaken them to a clearer appreciation of the part which the president had come to play in the personal esteem of his fellowmen. as in the affairs of the nation. The outbreak of intense feeling which has followed the attempt on the president's life illuminates as with a flash the true greatness of the role filled by Mr. McKinley and the overshadowing importance of the position he has held in the recent development of the nation. Chicago News. Six Feet Under Ground. The nameless crime of Neiman means out one tning tne anarcnisi must go. His meetings must be brok en up; his foul lair must be destroyed; he must be held up before the eyes of the American people and branded nrr' driven from our land forever. Thcic is but one place in the United States for an anarchist and that place Is six feet beneath its surface. Let us be honest. What does this mean? It means that we are cowards; that we dare not throttle the anarchist for fear of losing his vote. Bather have a coroner's verdict over his remains than a million of such ballots. It means that the emigration laws of tliis country must be mended. The sign of "Welcome" must ever hang over Castle Garden's door to the honest men of every nation who wish to come and obey our laws, but we must everlastingly exclude the fire-eater, regardless of his station or his wealth. Logansport Journal. Best Beloved Magistrate. President McKinlev, as has so often been said, has been the best beloved magistrate since Lincoln. He has enjoyed the respect and even the affection of political adversaries. He has not made one personal enemy in his long public career. Kindly, benevolent, patient, charitable, sincerely devoted to his country's wel fare, simple, democratic and thoroughly loyal to the people, what was there in his rare nature or remarkable record of achievement to inspire ill will in anyone? "May God forgive him!" were the words of the stricken president after the tragedy, so pathetic and so consistent! Chicago Post. Jacoby and Ray Reunion. The second annual reunion of the Jacoby and Ray families was held in Uncle John Jacoby 's grove, one mile east of Plymouth, on Thursday Sept. 5th, 1901. The relatives and friends began assembling about 10 a. m., and until noon the children enjoyed themselves in swinging anil the older members in general conversation and renewal of acquaintances. At 12 o'clock the ladies spread the eatables, which they had brought from home, upon a table about 150 feet in length, around tbis 133 persons assembled and after prayer by Rev. Hartman everyone partook of and enjoyed the feast. At 2 p. . m., they reassembled and were highly entertained by excellent and instructive speeches by Hon. Daniel McDonald, Senator John W. Parks, and Hon. II. G. Thayer of Plymouth, followed by Uncle Peter Jacoby of Aurora, Neb., Mr. Benjamin Cramer and Mr. Josiah Jacoby of this vicinitv. After speeches the election of oilicers for the next reunion was held and Wm. F. Suit was elected as president John R. Jacoby secretary and M. A. Jacoby treasurer. Those from a distance were Uncle Peter Jacoby of Aurora, Neb., and his sister Mrs. Elizabeth Theurer of Port land, Ind., with her were Mrs. Harri ett Bartling and son, Mr. and Mrs .Nathan Bickcl and son and Mrs. Christina Leaubard, also Mr. and Mrs Louis Siilt and children and Mr. and Mrs. Ora Sweat of Laporte, Mr. and Mrs. Tabian Matott of Westville, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Straderman and Miss Trella Keenby of Tiosa, Ind., Mrs Maud Dreibelbis and daughter of South Bend were present. This reunion has been a marked success in interest, pleasure, instructive speeches and reminiscenes of the early settlements. We beg the gentlemen of Plymouth, who so kindly addressed us to accept ourj respects and thanks, and we cor dially welcome them into the union, if not by lineage by the process of "Adoption," to enjoy the annual festivities with us. We also tender our thanks to Uncle Peter Jacoby and the other speakers, the relatives who came so far to be present, the ladies and all who did so well to make the exercises of the day loug to be remembered. May we look forward with pleaure anticipating many more such pleasant reunions, and, , May these reunions, guideposts be. Marking each annual return of joy; Guiding our lives to eternity, Through the "pleasures of life without alloy. O. A. Gkkiner.

Boonville, Ind., Sept. 9 Truax Wheeler killed Elihu Burns Saturday and then attempted suicide. Burns was Wheeler's son-in-law, and the trouble seems to have originated over some family disturbances.

A CENTURY'S GLORY Wonderful Nis-ht Scenes at the Pan-American-An Electric Fairy Land. Of all the wonderous scenes of scenic pageantry ever offered for public amusement and pleasure, the electrical display every evening at the Tan-American Exposition in Buffalo exceeds in splendor and beauty anything ever attempted, either in ancient or modern times. Seen from the towers of Statler's Hotel, which adjoins the grounds the sight is one never to be forgotten, and must be seen to be appreciated, for no language can ever do it justice. Bye the bye the Statler's Hotel referred to above has become in itself one of the "sights' 'of the Exposition, for in its own particular line it stands unrivalled as the largest and most unique hostelry ever planned and built. Although only three stories high, it contains over 2,100 rooms and can accommodate over 5,000 guests. The dining room will seat 1,200, and so perfect is the system and order with which this gigantic institution is run, that large parties of excursionists, often numbering hundreds are quickly taken care of without' so much as a ripple of excitement. Intending visitors to the Pan-American should pay no heed to stories told on the trains and elsewhere by "run-
