Oving to the strict enforcement of the game laws in Michigan it is reported that deer are unusually plentiful in the wilds of the northern peninsula, and fine sport awaits the hunter this fall who will fulfill all the requirements of the law. The name of the man found mur dered in a box cav near Toledo, is Ruf us Hulwick instead of W. II. Davis .as. first supposed. He was about forty years old and had been a saloon keeper in Goshen about ten years. He has been a hard character, but was highly connected at Goshen. He recently suffered reverses and left Goshen about three weeks ago. Because of tire lax methods of many guardians of pensioners the Interior Department issued an order some time since requireing guardians to report their disbursements to the government at Washington. This rule is causing some complaint, but it should not, since the party that grants a pension or bounty has a right to know if the person to whom it is granted receives it. In Indiana, many people live to a great age owing to the fact that it is the best and most healthful country in the world, but one of its most remarkable couples are Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Martin, of Laporte, who recently celebrated thur 65th wedding anniversary. Both are over 86 years old and are 'in excellent health with mental vigor unimpaired. - It ia easier to keep well than get cured'.

Will Martin, having resigned his position in a railway office at Toleao, visited his parents Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Martin last week. The count v commissioners have appointed him to a scholarship in Purdue University at Lafavette. This entitles him to free tuition and he will go there next week to take a four years' course in electrical engineering. A resident of Indiana can neither kill a deer nor eat venison within the state, although the deer may be 'killed legally in some other state. Merrill Moores, assistant attorney general, thus interprets the game law of 1901 for G. W. Brier, of Elwood, who appears to want to hunt in Wisconsin. No provision was made in the law to allow dead deer to be brought into Indiana and sold for vension. Friday,Sept. 13, is the Jewish New Year, called Rosh Ilashono, and means the head of the religious year. It is a time of great solemnity among the Jewish people. They gird themselves again for the year's work. Really it is the revival season for the spiritual life of the people, but it also is a time of joy. Felicitations are exchanged, good wishes are expressed by person or by letter. Tbe day begins the penitential season which culminates Sept, 22 in the great Yom Kippur,or day of atonement, also called the day of re conciliation. The ten intervening days are days of penitence. Old Settler of Two States. Teter Jacoby came to Marshall county more than fifty years ajo, re sided here over thirty years and went to Nebraska twenty-one years ago. I This makes him an eld settler of both Indiana and Nebraska. He came to Plymouth to attend the Jacoby reunion and visit a week, and he has been kept busy shaking hands with old friends. He owns a section of land near Aurora, Neb., and raised 4,000 bushels of wheat, almost a hundred tons of hay, lots of aits and vegetables and says he will have 4,000 bushels of corn to crib this year, notwithstanding the dry weather. He brought with him some fine specimens of peaches and apples and says peaches are selling for fifty cents a bushel in his neighborhood. He is 66 years old but looks 20 years younger, because he votes the Republican ticket straight and has read the Plvmouth Republican for more than forty years. Labor Day. Speaking of Labor day, the Elkhart Review says: "The only mar to the day was made by the speeches. They were misfit. They were not prepared for such intelligent workers as make up the labor element in Elkhart. They told the listeners that they were slaves and serfs, a statement Elkhart workmen are not inclined to believe. They asserted that workingmen are worse off today than a year ago, another statement that their hearers deny. The speakers offered no suggestions for changing conditions but revolution and carnage. The speakers were socialistic. As one union man said to his friend 'socialism is i not unionism.' And the" pity of such misfit speeches when there is so much to be said on the questions of labor and capital; so much warning needed by selfish capitalists, so much counsel for workingmen, so much wise inquiry needed into social conditions and the correction of industrial evils!" Death of Benjamin Welch. Benjamin Welch died at his home in Laporte Thursday and the remains were brought to this, city and interred in the Catholic cemetery. Mondav morning. Deceased was the son of Michael Welch and was raised on a farm west of Plymouth near the P. F. W. & C, railway. He was a charter member of the Catholic Benevolent Legion and was for several years foreman of the Vandalia section here. He went to Laporte about seven years ago and was a section foreman there. He was 43 years old, was an Industrious quiet citizen and had many friends, He leaves a widow and one child to mourn his death. A Slip ut Fper. S. D. Henderson, of Mead Centre.

A GREAT COMPANY
The Security Mutual Life of South Bend, Oscar Simons, Agent At a meeting of the directors of the Security Mutual Life Insurance com pany held at the home office in South Bend yesterday the resignation of George M. Fountain as president was accepted and J. M. Fitzgibbon, former vice president, was elected in his place, Mr. Fountain's resignation was due to the fact that the rapid growth of the company made such demands on his time and energies as to interfere with his private business. Mr. Fitzgibbon is recognized as one of the leading insurance expert in the west. He is successful lawyer and has for sixteen years made a study of the science of life insurance. Under his direction the Security Mutual has in 18 months accumulated about a million dollars of insurance without a single death loss and the expense rate for that period has been far less than of any legal reserve company ever organiz.ed. The institution is one that the state of Indiana,.and especially South Rend, has great reason to be proud of. Oscar A. Simons is the general agent of the company for Marshall, Fulton and Starke counties and, under the personal direction of Mr Fitzgibbon, who was in Plymouth Friday, is preparing himself to take up the profession of life insurance. A Suggestion to the City Fathers. Now that Michigan and Laporte streets are to be paved and made two of the handsomest streets in the state, would it not be a good idea to do a little more in the way of utility and beautifying the city? My suggestion is that inasmuch as there is a public drinking fountain at the Blain corner, that the city furnish another dnnkinsr fountain near the bridge in the neighborhood of the Sears fountain. Tan the citv main and give the public plenty of good fresh water from the city's water supply. Still another suggestion. If the pagoda now there was replaced with a larger and stronger one, the upper part set on strong posts it could be made a most excellent and permanent band stand. The public could pass beneath the band stand and we could have a neat, out-of-the-way stand from which our band could gh open air concerts as in other places. Will the citizens favor this action? ClIAS. K ELLISON, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Children Take Their Places Ready For the Year's Work. The city schools opened Monday promptly on schedule time, with all the teachers in theirplaces. Nothing was done except to register the pupils, assign them to their proper grades and give them information as to the books and supplies necessary to be provided. The registration is fully as great as was expected and tests the capacity of the buildings. , Following are the teachers and their respective assignments: High School Prof. Chase, D. FrankRedd and Miss' Mae Ifamig. Room 13 Jacob Martin. Room C Fred Hitc. Room D Mr. Curtis. Room EMIkh Ulitii Thomson. Room F Miss Emma Crowley. Room G Miss Teeters. Room II Mrs. Kleinschmidt. Room I Miss Beebe. . Room K Mrs. Maud Houghton. Room L Miss Mary Kendall. Room M Miss Price. Room N Miss Baker. Room O Mrs, Fred Kite. . Room P Miss Rose Smith. Room R Miss Hanes. The high school will not be opened until next week. The young men and women of '02 are feeling very much grown up as they approach the closing year of the course and they know that their class is the .best that ever' passed through the grades in this city. . Venue Changed. In the case of theModern Samaritans against J. A. Shunk, which was set for trial Monday before Jnstice Molter after a continuance granted on the pe titionof the defendant, Mr. Shunk filed an affidavit for a change of ven ue from the township on the ground of bias and prejudice in Center town ship, and the case was sent to Justice Plake at Laraz. to be heard Sept. 11 in the forenoon. Goshen-Angola Railway. W. W. Hatch went to ChicairoMonday to close the final contract for the! construction of the Goshen-Angola electric line, which is to be extended southwesterly .through Plymouth. The terms have been agreed upon and the money is ready for the work to be carried through rapidly. Mr. TIatch intends to put on a full force of men at once. The con tract. provides that cars shall be running regularly with-
in one year.
PRAYERS OFFERED
Pastors of Plymouth Churches Touching Allusions to the Nation's Sorrow. Make In every church in this city Sunday special prayers were offered for Presi dent McKinley and inmost of them some allusion was made in the sermon touching the horrible crime. There was an undercurrent of great anxiety aue to tne met that rumors were set afloat in the morning to the effect that the president was dead and exact information was not ob tainea until alter tne morning ser vices. . At the Methodist church Rev. Mc Kenzie, in the course of his last ser mon of the present conference year, digressed from him main subject to express his thought as follows. 'Our president, who now lies at the point of death in Buffalo, is a man whose kindness, gentleness and recti tude of purpose are acknowledged by all, and his assassination by an anarchist should cause us to realize the fact that there are limits to free speech. President McKinley 's private life is without a blemish, in the posi tion he occupies he represents the American people, and while deploring the attack upon i.im and joining our prayers with the millions that are go ing up to heaven from every section of our country that his life may be saved, wc cannot escape the fact that there are influences in this republic of ours which breed anarchy. "Everything that makes government less exalted than it should be, every word spoken or written in the heat of partisan feeling to unjustly inflame passion and array class against class, becomes an incentive for bitter ness against all government, and I should hate to sit in the editorial chair of many of the great city papers which assume to direct the thought and the pol'cies of this government. Wc ought, under the shadow which hangs over us today learn to be better citizens and have more respect for those in authority." m Father Yenn, at St. Michael's, spoke in the following terms: "The infamous attack, recently made upon the life of President McKinley, is a dastardly crime, the gravity of which words fail to express. Any murder I prcpetrated in cold blood, the unwarranted taking of a man's life, un less it be in self-defense is an execrable deed, affecting not only the injured party, but disturbing public order as well. But the assassination of the chief magistrate of the land is more than a murder. It is a blow aimed directly at legitimate authority, at the authority with which God himself has vested the ruler at the bidding of the people it is a blow at the entire community, whose welfare is inseparably bound up with the exercise of the authority of its ruler. "It is in this light that all Catholics must view the sad affair, that will ever remain a foul blot on the pages of American history. Obedience, respect for legitimate authority, whether temporal or spiritual, is one of the most sacred duties of a Catholic. "With him it is not merely a matter of policy, inasmuch as it in xy appear the best means of promoting his own happiness and that of his fellow-men, but it is, moreover, a matter of conscience, which he cannot overlook or neglect without proving faithless to the tenets of his church. "The Catholic Church is not content with beinx herself a most implacable foe to anarchy, but she deems it her sacred duty to implant , in the hearts of the young at an early age as deep a hatred for everything that savors of anarchy, as she does a docile and sub missive spirit that will respect authority. For it is the same motive that should induce us to obey God and to respect lawfully constituted superiors. May God speed the entire recovery of our President and avert impending calamities from our beloved land!"
