THEY GOT OIL

Bremen is in the Throes of a Wild Oil Boom and the Town is Grazy. Bremen, Ind., Sept. 17 The people of this little burg arc wild today with elation over the developments at the oil well near the fair ground. Stock in the oil company is in demand at high prices but very little of it has changed hands, the owners preferring to hold on. A few shares sold yesterday at 150 and higher figures are offered today. Business is practically suspended and the people arc assembled at the well eagerly watching for developments. The well is down 415 feet, 25 of which, as the drillers claim, is in trcnton rock. Water stands 250 feet deep in the tube and casing is being put down today to exclude it. It is thought that the well will be shot tonight if the casing is completed. There was a smell of oil or gas Saturday evening, which increased Sunday to a positive flow capable of burning in a large flame and on Monday the gush came, thick, black oil forcing its way through the column of water with the aid of the gas that accompanies it. The expert here say they feel little doubf that the oil well be produced in paying quantities and everybody is jubilant. The oil is a lubricating oil, the same in quality as that obtained in the very profitable fields in Jasper and Vigo counties, and if it turns out that this well is successful others will be driven at once and the possibilities if this district thoroughly tested. IN BAD CONDITION. Free Rural Delivery Endangered by 'Bad Roads. Postmaster Yockcy has been notified by the general superintendent of rural routes that the roads traveled bv carriers from the Plvmouth oil ice are in bad condition and he is directed to notify the people on these routes that the present lack of attention to the roads will, if continued, endanger the permanency f their free delivery. The letter says: "A rural carrier cannot possiblv make regular time or perform efficient service over poor roads, particularly during the winter and spring months. The summer is the time for mending these highways, which are reallv sening as post roads, and which should always be passable for. the transport of the mail.. It is the hope-of the department that the patrons who are receiving the benefit of the service appreciate it. and that they w ill promptly co-operate in an effort to repair all deficient portions before winter sets in, so that the permanency of rural free delivery service mav Ijc ensured." This is a matter of extreme importance in this county and t he proper road officials should make it their business to put the roads in gtxxl repair before bad weather sets in to interfere with the work. DAY o? MOURNING. Exercises Prepared for the Meeting of Citizens Tomorrow Afternoon. At half past 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon the tolling of the schoolhouse bell will announce that all is ready foi the solemn service in memory of the murdered President.

J. A. SHUNK'S TRIAL

AH Is Not Lovely Among the Modern Samaritans. Our readers know that the Modern Samaritans believe that J. A. Shunk owes them some money, and they know also that Mr. Shunk says he docs not owe the lodge a cent, and that a suit has been instituted to settle the matter. The case was to have been tried before Justice Moltcr last week, but Mr. Shunk thought he could not get justice in this city and asked for a change of venue to Lapaz. This w as granted, but a few days later the defendant decided that there was not enough prejudice against him in Plymouth to make a change necessary and the matter was again placed in the hands of Justice Moltcr. Monday morning when the case was called for trial Mr. Shunk's attorneys again asked for a change from this township. . "Squire" Moltcr informed them that they could not 1 'monkey" with him any longer and the change would not be granted. They then decided that they could not get justice in Molter's court and asked that Mayor Jones be allowed to trv the case. His honor, Justice Moltcr granted the request and the trial is set for Friday morning before Mayor Jones. MEMORIAL SERVICE Partial Program For Thursday's Meeting of Sorrow. The committee on arrangements has partially completed the program for memorial services to be held Tlnfrsday in respect to the dead President. The meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Washington school. In addition to other plans to l)e announced later the following exercises will be observed. rUOGRAMMK Music Invocation, Rev. W. W.

Statlcr's at Buffalo Saves Visitors the Long Journey Between Town and the Pan-American. One of the hardest parts of visiting an Exp sit ion are the tiresome trips between one's lodging place, or hotel, and the grounds. This is especially felt by ladies after a hot, tiring day, who feel that they must get ''home" for a rest, yet would like to return in the evening if it was not so far away. All this inconvenience may be obviated by staying at Sutler's Hotel, which adjoins the Exposition grounds, and which is, in itself, one of the wonders of the Exposition. It is the largest hostelry in the world contains over 2100 rooms, can comfortably accommodate over 5000 people, and lias a dining room in which 1200 can sit down to a meal without crowding and with a service as prompt aud efficient as the most exacting could desire. From its towers and terraces the whole of the wonderful panorama of life at 'a great industrial exhibition can be daily studied and enjoyed, which at night when the wenden of electricity take the place of daylight, the scene is one never to be forgotten. The stories so frequently told on the trains and elsewheje by runners, touts, etc., about scarcity of accomodations and exhorbitant charges should be promptly dismissed. Statler's can, and frequently does, take in 500 people all in one party, and they are comfortably housed in a very short time, without so much as a ripple of excitement, so perfect is the organizatiun and management. For $2.00 and $2.50 a day, you can get a clean, comfortable room' vrith break fast and evening dinner included, while for those who prefer not to board at the hotel, good rooms jean be obtained at $1.00 and $1.50 per day, Intending visitors to the Pan-American, therefore,- can rest assured that by going direct to Statler's they can get good accommodations, and be assured of fair and honest tieatment and a very cordial welcome.

B. will meet in the church of that denomination in this city Wednesday morning, Bishop E. P. Kcphart, of Annville, Pa., presiding, who will also make the open ing. ad dress.

Each charge will be represented bv the minister and one lav delegate who have equal voice in the deliberations. The questions that will create the greatest interest at this session will be missions, church erection, education, and the number of presiding elders' districts. A Neiborhood Aroused. The conversion of a city residence lot into a farm barnvard, and a verv offensive burnrard at that, such-as few farmers will tolerate even in the isolation of the country, has outraged an entire neighborhood in the south part of Plymouth, and the fact that the selfish offender is a member of the common council and apparently thinks he is shielded by his oftice does not lessen the sense of injustice. Council man Gibson is being freely deprecated and condemned for his utter disre gard for the rights of the people who live near him. lie occupiesa home in a locality full of other homes, but he keeps in one smail lot enough animals to stock a quarter section. Cows, calves, horses, hogs, poultry, all are harbored in increasing numbers and no attempt whatever is made to keep the premises clean. The place is a stench in the nostrils of everybody in the vicinity and an eyesore to all who are compelled to look upon it. The temper of the victims is aroused and they purpose to invoke the law to compel what selfrespect and common decency lead most people to do without even a hint from others. St Thorrus Church. In accord with request in the proclamation of President Roosevelt for "Ah people to assemble or Thursday, Sept. 10, in their respective places of Divine Worship" for final tribute to the late President McKinley. Service is appointed in church that day at 10 a. m. The Ladies Parish Guild meeting is postponed from Thursday to Friday afternoon to meet with Mrs. T. J. Winings. "Wednesday, Friday and Saturday this week are Ember Days. Saturday js also St. Mathew's Day. The text Sunday. was "Thy Will Be Done," from the Lord's Prayer, Matt. 6:10, interpreted- and exemplefied in Matt. 26:42, as" also in the death of President McKinley. 0 George HajuVj Wheel. Someone accidentally or intentionally got away with George Ilahn's bi cycle from in front of the Thomas market on South Michigan streetearly Saturday evening. George had left it at the curb while he went In to purchase some meats, returning in a few minutes only to lind his good wheel gone and an "ice wagon" in its stead. Bystanders saw the fellow and unless ho returns it pretty quick his actions may not be so easy for him to explain. Such occurrences In broad daylight and on a principal business street are to be wondered at because of their audaciousness. South Bend Times. . Card of Thanks. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the dear neighbors and friends who so kindly aided us in our recent bereavement of our only son. Mr. And Mrs. J. F. Appleman.
