Resolution Expressing Hope For President's Recovery Defeated. Two thousand members of the Socialist party of Chicago voted down a resolution of regret for the attempted assassination of the President, at a massmeeting in Bergman's Grove, Riverside, Sunday. The argument of those opposed to the resolution was that McKinley is the representative of the capitalist class, and that his safety or danger are matters of no concern toSocialists. The resolution was introduced by the chairman of the meeting, Wilmot I. Goodspeed, and was designed to counteract the tendency of some people to place Socialists and Anarchists in the same class. Incidentally, expression was made of the pain of Socialists, in common with other citizens, at the attempted assassination. This was regarded by many present as a letting down of the barrier of hatred which separates the capitalists from the common people, and they defeated it. Mr. Goodspeed and others tried to point out that McKinliy is the President of the whole nation and not simply of a single party, and that the resolution was simply an expression of the feeling which ought to represent every American citizen. The radical element, however, would have none of it, and a motion to table the resolution .was rushed through by acclamation, followed at once by a notion to adjourn. A FOUL OUTRAGE Drunken Man Assaults Little Azelia Stein Near Her Home. Yesteday afternoon at about 5 o'clock little Azelia Stein, the 5-year-old daughter of Joseph Stein, was accosted on the bridge approach near the Windsor Hotel by a man who grasped her by the throat and dragged her back of the high billboard standing there. Before he could accomplish his purpose, but after he had unmistakably disclosed it, the child escaped and ran screaming to her home near by. A stranger here, giving his name as William Campbell and claiming to be from South Bond, working on the Pennsylvania rade as a shoveler, was arrested by Marshal Chaney shortly after and was identified by the girl as her assailant. Justice Molter ordered his commitment in default of a $000 bond and he spent the night in jail. He was very drunk and Very insolent but asserted his ignorance of the crime. -A Pertinent Question. r The Indianapolis Sentinel asks this pertinent question: "If an organization should be formed for the purpose or murdering negroes or committing robbery, the. government would certainly proceed against it. Is there any reason then why we should tolerate an organization which advocates and plans the extermination of the rulers of the earth V Death of an Old Sailor. Capt. Riley Phillips, of Bentonllarbor, aged 72 years, who had sailed the lakes since he was 14 years old, died last week, ne was captain of the barge Skylark, the first boat of the Graham & Morton line, and had served as captain on all the large boats on the lakes.

CROSSINGS DISCUSSED

Cc'jr.cil Transacts Much Business and Postpones Some. New Walks t Ordered. Paving to Proceed. Orher Matters. The council meeting Monday evening was fully attended by the city fathers and much municipal business was transacted or discussed. T.ie first item presented was an invitation from the fire departement to the entire board for the firemen's reunion to be held in the city hall, due notice of which has already been given. It was accepted. Then came the city treasurer with a report of the funds in his custody for the month of August, as follows: General Fund. On hand Aug. 1, $4,711.36 Taxes paid in, 754.64 Sewer taxes, 6.27 Licenses, 97.00 Miscellaneous receipts, 27.80 5,507.07 Paid out on orders 2,898.00 Balance Sept. 1 2,698.3 7 Waterworks Fund Overdrawn Aug. 1 $ 770.03 Paid out on orders 390.99 ' 1,170.05 Taxe- paid in $284.09 Water rentals 202.96 487.97 Overdrawn Sept. 1 682.97 School Building Fund On hand Aug. 1 502.90 Taxes paid in 31.08 On hand Sept. 1 534,04 Library Fund On hand Aug. 1 . : 519.04 Taxes paid jn 22.19 On hand Sept. 1 541.23 The foregoing report was received with gratification in view of the heavy expenses now being incurred for street improvements. The city attorney presented the annual ordance for the tax levy for city purposes and it was deferred until next meeting in order that close estimates may be made and the levy fixed judiciously. The council is agreed that tie levy for general purposes must be increased, probably to $1.00, which is the legal limit, but this will be offset bv reductions in the other funds made poss'ble by the payment of the waterworks and scjioolhouse bonds and the consequent decrease in inetrcst charges. The city attorney reported that his correspondence with the Pennsylvania railway officials had been unproductive of results and suggested that a resolution, which he had prepared, be adopted in order to get the matter of railway crossings under way. Councilman Parker then stated that he had held some conversation with Superintendent McKim, of the railway, and that a conference between the city officials and the Pennsylvania people was desired in order to determine just what is wanted here and how much the company will deign to grant. Mi. Parker said that surveys had been made and plans drawn for a subway at Center street, to give a clear passage twelve feet high and sufficiently wide for two teams to pass, covered by an iron bridge and protected by stone abutments, the approaches to be of easy grade. This would be submitted for consideration at the proposed conference. He said further that the company regarded a crossing at Third street as impractical because of the cost, but did not say how it would be any less expensive in the future, when it will be absolutely necessary, nor did he admit that the expense would have been much less if the work had been done long ago when the company ought to have done it. The Miner street crossing received no mention whatever. At the next meeting Mr. McKim is to be present, if he can. Sidewalks were ordered to be built by a number of property owners on Thayer street, and it seemed to be a great deal easiei to make an order affecting widows than to exhibit any purpose of compelling a railway company to do its duty. City Attorney Hess asked for further time in the matter of the damage done in the Kloepfer basement by th overflow of a sewer and also asked for more time in arranging for the contractor's bond in'the South Michigan street improvement. ' The bills allowed footed up $1,16388, leaving a balance of $1,853.71 in the treasury. The city engineer presented a detailed report of his tests of the cement used in the curbing, showing the cement to be of "excellent quality. In this connection it was explained that the curb will not be perfectly hardened for several months and should be used carefully in that time, and Judge Hess was directed to prepare an ordinance covering the matter. The grading of the lawns between the sidewalk and the curb has in some cases interfered with fire hydrants and this was referred to the proper committee for action. ' A discussion of sewers and drains, especially in the northwest portion of the city, led to the decision that al

work shall be postponed until the paving is out of the way; whereupon the city officials were directed to proceed with the water mains and paving on South Michigan street upon the completion of the work now in progress. The clerk informed the council that lie had issued notices to the several parties reported as having been omitted in the assessment for taxes, notifying them to appear before him and show cause why they should not be placed upon the duplicate and asked for instructions in the premises. He was grimly ordered to perform his dutv. All this being accomplished the body adjourned.

Just a Pair of Lies. The Independent lies to its few readers by saying that its' 'co-operative telegraph plan enables it to secure a complete and exhaustive service until 8 a. m.' each day, nearly ten hours later than the dispatches contained in the Chicago morning papers. Through its connection with the Union Asso ciated Press association it has received daily bulletins as late as 3:30 p. m." Perhaps it will explain how its'fco-op-erativc telegraph" can include news up to 8 a. m. each day when the train bearing it to Plymouth leaves Chicago at 7. m. and the "co-operative tele graph" has to be set, stereotyped, printed, packed and delivered to the express company and taken to the station before that hour. Being 4 -co-operative" it has to be delivered in time to reach trains for other towns that leave hours earlier. Its "connection with the Union Associated Press association" can best be explained by saying there is no such association on earth. The doddering dicke v doesn't know the name of the association it stole rfrom. The Union Press association sent the Independent a message collect and the editor, after reading the message, refused to pay for it and published the substance ol it as a special. On Monday the Union, not knowing of the theft, sent two more messages, without orders, and one costing seven cents was accepted and the other refused. That is all the telegraph news the Independent ever had over the wires in its entire existence. We had hourly messages as long as there was any necessity for them and have the original messages in our possession as evidence. CANNED FODDER. C T. Mattingly Builds a Scientific Silo on His Large Farm. C.T. Mattingly completed Tuesday the filling of a large silo on his farm southwest of Plymouth. The progress of the work has been watched with great interest by many advanced farmers in this vicinity, the preservation of green feed for stock being practically an experiment here though by no means a new thing in progressive agriculture. There are less than half a dozen silos hiMarshall county at this time. Mr. Mattingly 's silo is 'constructed according to the latest improved methods after a full and careful investigation of the subject made by him. It is 14 feet in diameter and 24 feet high, resting on a cement foundation and having a concave floor of cement. The opening, which is next to the stock barn, is so arranged as to give access to a section at a time without disturbing the balance. This silo contains the product of about 10 acres of corn, about 75 tons, and can be filled in a day. The standing corn, taken before it has fully ripened and grown hard, is cut with a self-binder and hauled to the cutter, run by. steam power, where it is cut into small bits, stalks, leaves and ears together, and is fed into the silo by an endless-chain elevator. Three men inside distribute it and pack it down evenly and firmly. By the use of the silo the entire corn plant, or whatever plant may be used, is available for feed without waste and it is easily accessible and compactly stored. Besides . being economical ensilage is a healthful feed and stock thrives and fattens on it, preferring it w dry hay or glazed stalks. The theory of the silo is exactly the same as that of canning fruits or vegetables, by storing the substance away in an airtight receptacle it is preserved in its fresh and green state with the juices unimpaired. Mr. Mattingly is proceeding along conservative lines In his experiment and will doubtless realize his hopes. with stale eggs, glue and other things are not fit to drink. 13 pure, uncoated coffee fresh, strong, well flavored.
