Amasa Johnson passed away Friday at about 1 o'clock after a long illness with cancer of the liver. The funeral

was held at the Johnson home Sunday at 2 p. m., Rev. McKenzie of the M. E. church officiating. The interment was at Oak Hill. Deceased was the son of Rev. James Johnson, a prominent Methodist preacher of Indiana, who died about seven years ago. His great grandfather was a pioneer of Kentucky in the days of Boone and Kenton. Amasa 's grandfather was captured by the Indians when he was twelve years old and with his brother two years

younger was taken across the Ohio river into the wilderness more than a hundred miles from the settlements. The band having run out of provisions, two Indians were left to guard the boys while the other Indians went in search of game. Night came on, the boys were tied and the Indians lay down to sleep. About midnight the elder boy succeeded in freeing himself from the cords that bound him. He quietly cut the thongs that bound his brother, and they got possession of the Indians' guns. Standing within a few feet of the sleeping Indians both took aim and at a given signal fired, both shots were effective and after a few struggles the

Indians were dead, apd the boys suc

ceeded in reaching home five days

later. Coming from such stock the bravery and endurance of Amasa Johnson, whose form was always

slender, can be well understood.

Captain Johnson grew to manhood in Putnam County, Indiana", studied law, was admitted to the bar and came to Plymouth in 1858. In 1861 he enlisted in Co. D, Ninth Indiana Infantry, was chosen captain and served until the close of the war. He was in all the hard fought battles

and long marches of that famous reg

iment, and no soldier left the army with a better record than his..

After returning home he married

Miss Adelia Sherman, daughter of Dr. N. Sherman of this city. To this

union were born four children, all of whom are living. They are Mrs. Ida

Jost, of Seattle, "Washington, Mrs. Carrie Baker, of Fort "Wayne, Ind.,

Mrs. Edith Seward and Sherman

Johnson of this city. His wife and one sister also survive.

Captain Johnson was one of the

most prominent real estate lawyers o?

northern Indiana. He was a man of

sterling integrity and had hosts of

friends. He was joint representative

of Marshall and St. Joseph counties in

the legislature of 1869, was three

times mayor of Plymouth, was a mem

ber of the city council and was never defeated when a candidate for. office.

He was for more tha:i forty years a prominent member of the Methodist

church of this city.

Two months ago he was seemingly

overcome with heat while at work in his office; liver and kidney trouble set

in and all the efforts of his physicians, family and friends were unavailing. He was taken to St. Joseph hospital

at Fort "Wayne Monday, August 26,

but at the end of a week the physi

cians decided that there was no hope

for him and he came home to die.

. Interesting if True.

Twenty-five years ago Czolgosz's father was one of 12 men who killed

Henry Molitor, the illegitimate son of

the crazy King of - "Wurtemburg, in

Presque Isle county, Michigan. Moll

tor had organized a company in the

lumber region and ruled the section

like a king. He was a cruel tyrant,

who respected neither man nor woman. He became so bad that a so-

called jury decided to kill him. ne

was shot in his store.

No one was punished until nine years

when Czolsrosz and four others

ago,

gave state's evidence, and the re

mainder w ere sent to the Jackson pen itentiary.

I. C Travis, of this city, was in Pe-

toskey at the time of the trial and

rounding the case. St. Joseph Press.

Every person owning property on the east side of Michigan street be Ween Yellow River bridge and Washington street must, if he has not already done so, construct a stone or cement walk 16 feet wide extending to the curb and conforming to the grade thereof, and this within fifteen davs. Thus did the common council ordain at special session Friday night. Futhermore, in every case where a sidewalk not'ee has been given. and is not yet complied with the street commissioner will proceed toconstroct the walk and charge the cost of the same against the delinquent to bo collected as taxes. John Hoham will be required to widen the walk in front of his business block on Laporte street so as

to harmonize with the general plan, and a resolution was adopted ordering tl. S. Bissell to put in new cement or stone walks on both sides of his entire lot at the corner of Laporte and Center streets, the portion in front of the Republican office to extend to the curb, the remainder to be six feet in width. It was agreed that certain portions of the walks at street intersections, being the portion in excess of what has heretofore been required of the owners, shall be paid for by the city out of the general fund. In view of the lateness of the season it was felt by the council that except in necessary cases the old walks on Laporte street need not be disturbed until spring; but at that time the dilapidated pas

sageways at the Democrat corner, the Palmer property and elsewhere must

be brought up to the twentieth cen

tury standard.

In addition to the foregoing busi

ness the council granted permission to lay a sidewalk across Garro street

for the convenience of the new Link-

enhelt elevator, which is now nearing completion.

Farm Bulletin Boards. A farm bulletin board is a novelty

in this locality, that recently put up by C. T. Mattingly on his Muckshaw

farm probably being the first in the

sale items are written in chalk. It Is

a successful plan, lor every passer

reads it. It will usually secure a a -

nireu man or gin, or an animal or

article that . maj' be needed; it will

sell a cow or calf, seed potatoes or

cabbage plants, pure-bred" pigs or

brood sows, and it will promote any

little deal the farmer may wish to

make. A Beautiful Reception.

BEWARE OF THE LAW.

Local Hunters Must Obey the Require

ments of New Law. Now that the fall hunting season is

about at hand it behooves local gun

ners to post themselves relative to the requirements of the Indiana game

law passed by the last legislature. This law is now in force and contains several new features witli which a

great many persons are not familiar.

It provides a fine of not more than $25 nor less than $10 for hunting on Sunday or upon any enclosed land without the consent of the owner or

tenant thervf. From October 1 to November 10 it is unlawful to hunt

any kind of game unless the hunter

first procures a permit from the com

missioner of fisheries and game. This

permit can be procured free of cost by

any reputable resident of the state up

on application to the game commis

sioner. Non-residents are required to

procure a license from the clerk of the circuit court at a cost of $25.00 before

they can legally hunt on Indiana soil.

Grieved Over McKinley's Death.

LaPokte, Ind., Sept, 27 Caleb

Harvey, an old and wealthy resident

of this city, died here yesterday as the direct result of grieving over the

assassination and death of President

McKinley.

The physicians who attended liar

veysay that he literally cried .himself

o death. He wept for hours contin

uously from the afternoon the presi

dent was shot, and while in these

paroxysms of grief his suffering was

intense.

It was found impossible to control

or assuage his errief, and up to the

lour of his dissolution he wailed con

stantly. Mr. Harvey was an ardent

admirer Of McKinley. The physicians consider the case without precedent.

McKINLEY'S MURDER

and THE STOCK MARKET

(Henry Clews in Financial Weekly) The country has passed through

the shock of President McKinley 's

assassination with a wonderful degree of composure. In both political and business circles the blow has been met

with an exhibition of fortitude that

rellects the highest credit upon the

merican people.

Sad as the event has been, President

McKinley 's martrydom has proven

and strengthened the solidarity of the

merican people. It has aroused and

brought together the conservative

forces of the country which too often

lie dormant in times of public dangers;

it has softened political animosities,

and it has shown the follv of that -

weak toleration which permits the un

limited abuse of liberty.

Perhaps nothing has contributed more towards the preservation of confidence than President Roosevelt's frank and positive statement that he would faithfully continue the policy of Mr. McKinley. Our new president has been before the public gaze for the last few years almost as prominently

as Mr. McKinleyJhimself. His strong and weak points were well known to

everyone. "So one doubted his great courage and integrity; and no one can

now doubt that he fully realizes his grave responsibilites. There is every

reason to believe that President Roosevelt will satisfactorily fill his

great ollice, and that the administra

tion will work with him on the same

high plane as under his illustrious

predecessor.

Happily Secretaries Hay and Gage

will remain in ollice to work out the

policies already adopted. Talk of I panic was sheer folly, because there j never was material for a panic, either

in political, financial or business cir

cles. The shock of assassination was

strictly a moral shock and never had at any time any real connection with

our material welfare.

Drummed Out Of Camp. Marion, Ind., Sept. 28 Jerry Ku-

der, Peter Locke and James Spears,

the three veterans of the Soldiers' Home here, who were placed in the

;uard house at that institution on the

night of the shooting of President McKinley, at Buffalo, for having expressed satisfaction at the work of Czolgosz and hoped that the Pjesidcnt would die, are to be publicly degraded and dishonorably discharged from

the home.

This is the penalty assessed by the

board of managers of that institution,

after careful consideration of the case.

The degredation is to take place this afternoon. The prisoners will be re

lieved of their uniforms and will then be drummed out of the grounds.

Under guard they went to their

former barracks, yesterday, and gathered together their belongings.

Kicking Among Preachers.

Xoblesville, Ind., Sept. 28

Presiding Elder Wilmore, of the

White River Conference of the United

Urethren church, has appointed the

Rev. S. M. Lcidy to the charge in this

city, a vacancy created by theresigna

tion of the Rev. S. U. Erwin, of

Anderson, who, being one of the old,

est ministers in the conference,

thought he was entitled to a better charge and refused to accept. The Rev. Mr. Leidy comes nere from the

Second United Brethren church of

Indianapolis, where he was sent last

week by the Kokomo meeting. The

Rev. I). W. Zartman, who has been pastor of the United Brethren church

here for two years, left for Saratoga,

falling in his effort to be transferred to the St. Joe conference. He asked

for the transfer becanse he was not

satisfied with the Saratoga charge. Plymouth Dentist Honored.

State Forester Freeman, together

with George L. Clothier, of the United

States Bureau of Forcsty, has com plcted plans for the planting of ;

4.100-acrc forest in the Kankakee

bottoms. The land Is owned by a Chicago capitalist. It will be the first forest in Indiana to be planted under the direction of the state forcsty bureau. Some of the 4,100 acres is already under timber, and the largest efforts will be exerted in the low land. The land is close to the river and this will be of great aid in.the work of establishing a forest.

CZOLGOSZ WILL DIE

but HIS TEMPTERS LIVE

(Chicago Inter Ocean)

The collapse of Czolgosz upon his last appearance in court was evident

to all beholders. "When asked if he

had any reason to advance why sen

tence should not be passed upon him

he could give none, lie lacked even

the strength to excuse his crime. He

showed only the trapped animal's fear

of death.

This man, who but a few weeks ago

had nerved himself to a hideous crime,

who had had the will to perform it.

and had feathered the resolution to

face certain death for it, thus sudden

ly became a creature utterly incap

able of concentrated thought or deed.

And why? Simply because he was at

last alone without sympathy, sup port, or encouragement. '

The highly respectable citizens who

had told lvim from the platform and

in the newspapers for nearly three

years that William McKinley was a

"czar," an "emperor," an "oppres

sor." a "tyrant," a "outcner" naa

lied from him iu terror.

The moral reformers who had de

scribed to him the President of the

United States as "William of Jolo,

with his canteens and slaves and wines and concubines," had hushed their

clatter and stolen away into hiding.

The degenerate journalists who had

assured him that he was a down-trod

den slave, and that William McKinley

was but the dirty tool of his cruel

master, has secured from his view and

clothed themselves in silence.

They all were gone those who had

drawn the pictures to fire his fanatic

ism, those who had uttered the de

nunciations to dispel his torpor, those who had plied the lash of hate to

rouse his determination they all were

gone and he was left alone alone and as he was before they touched him and

moved him.

And so, in his isolation, he became

his natural self again a creature too

weak, too craven to speak or stride.

Without others to support and en

courage him, his real character was plain. He stood before all the world

as the feeblest of men. - " ,

Ladies will perhaps find comfort in

the fact that men are also requested t refrain from smoking during the hours when the Invalids are taking their walks.
