Plymouth, Ind., October 17, 1901.

The corn crop in this vicinity is

larpely in the shock and will soon be

in the crib. It is exceeding the est

1 maies made during the droutli and

will not fall greatly short of a ful

crop. The recent rains have advanced the wheat, of which a larger acre

age is sown this year than last. .

In February, 1900, about eighteen

months prior to the assassination o

President McKinley, the "Washington

correspondent for Hearst's cursed

trinity of murderous yellow journals

included the following lines, which

those papers published:

The bullet that pierced Goebel's

chest Cannot be found in all the West; Good reason. It is speeding here To stretch McKinley on his bier.

Pause a moment and reflect that Hearst was sending such matter daily to nuny weakminded zealots like Czolgaiz and that their opinions .were

being formed and passions aroused by

it.

Probably nothing shows the actual

status and moral development of a

man better than his ability to com

prehead that people may be right when differing with him and that

they may be just as honest as he is in

their views. "When a man cultivates

himself until he can take this broad

view of the things of life he has evolved higher than the average of his

kind, and life will be a great deal sweeter to him and he will in every way be more worthy of trust ard confidence. It is a great lesson to learn that it is often very difficult to find

out precisely what is right. So much depends on the view-point, that often what looks white to one man is dark

to another. Michigan City Despatch.

- i Yellow journals are not the Amer

ican press, and the mistake should

not be made of judging the whole by

the worst part. A paper which, month in and month out, berates and

belittles, ridicules and slanders, vilifies and vituperates, the president of

the United States and then, when he lies cold in death, says, "He did his

duty" merely convicts itself of sense

less mendacity and calumny. The great body of the American press advocates obedience to laws; respect for

the courts; honesty and justice; fair

nessin the treatment of public men:

admiration of private and commenda

tion of public cleanness; it resents be

ing confounded with the irresponsible mouthers which violate all the dic

tates of decency and propriety. The harm which can be done by this mis

chievous minority, posing as cham

pions of the people, is entirely out of proportion to the counteracting effect of that larger portion of the press which feels itself amenable to the laws of decency and truth. Of these jour

nalistic anarchists no denunciation

can be too severe. Kansas City Jour nah

HOW TO BE A ROOSEVELT. Young man, you don't have to hold the office of police commissioner, assistant secretary of the navy, commander of a regiment, governor of ew York or President of the United States to be a Eoosevelt. Ambition, integrity, high motives and patriotism will mold a Roosevelt, young man. You can cultivate the Roosevelt virtues behind the plow, in school, in the workshop, in fact, in whatsoever you may be doing. Don't lag. Don't put off until tomorr -v7 what can be done today. Keer freier e you the fact that you owe your best to t e world. . Do your duty by grasping every opportunity. Don't wait for opportunity. That is what put Roosevelt where he is this constant grasping of opportunities. "Watch Roosevelt. Try to be a Roosevelt. Roosevelt your . way through life and you'll wie -Clifton (Kan.) News. ' :

A FRIEND TO FAR"EI :. " The death of Col. William T. Den. nis at his home, in Richmond Sunday removes from Indiana one of its most interesting char xcters, interesting because of the things he has accomplished for the good of the state in his life of eighty-five years. He came to Indiana from New York at the age of thirty and settled on a farm in the wilderness. He introduced the old Empire plow, constructed the first center-draft subsoil plow, was the first farmer in the state to use a self -raking reaper or a mowing machine, brought in the first imported.stiorthorn bull and Morgan stallion, distributed the first sorghum seed and gladiolus bulbs in the state and gave Richmond its first steam fire engine. His progressive impulses were not confined to his own vicinity. In 1351

he planned and successfully managed a county fair, probably the first in Indiana, and followed this up by organizing the state board of agriculture and superintending the first state fair, in 1852. The next year he established the Indiana Farmer and later became secretary of the state board of agriculture, which enabled him to exert a wide influence upon the advancement of agricultural methods in Indiana. Many years later, when a very old man, he was appointed state commissioner of fisheries and at once established a journal devoted to the fish and game Interests which he continued until his advanced age prohibited further labors, ne gave Indiana the first effective impetus toward the intelligent conservation of its fish and game wealth. As early as in 1861 Col. Dennis was recognized as an expert in agriculture and he was called into the service of the federal government and many times he was summoned to assist in organizing fairs and boards in other states. He was thus a man of very wide acquaintance and one of the most lovable and admirable of men. Few farmers know how much they are indebted to "William T. Dennis for improved methods of farming and increased value of land due to the adoption of his wise counsels.

"WHATS IN A NAME?" The Plymouth Republican was established in 1855 by John Milligan, but Marshall county has been afflicted with moss back democracy since the day it was named and a republican paper has had very poor picking from that time to this. Recently the 'publishers, Messrs. Hendricks & Co., and Mr. R. B. Oglesbee conceived the idea that the name of the paper was a hindering cause, and Thursday of this week the old "Republican" head was laid aside and "Tribune" substituted, and hereafter the daily and weekly Republican publication of Plymouth, the county seat of Marshall, will be known as the Tribune. As an excuse for this change the editor says that "in progressive journalism a party name has come to be a disadvantage to a paper whose first

object is to print the news."

It may be possible that a party name is a disadvantage to a country newspaper but the propriety of changing the name of an old time, well established newspaper is very questionable. The principles of the republican party are the principles of the Ameri

can Republic which will some day be accepted by all the nations of the

world, and to pull down the Republi

can flag at this stage in the battle for

the betterment of humanity is not patriotic. True patriotism says "we will fight it out on this line if it takes

all summer."

And then too the proprietors of the

Plymouth publication ought to know that "Tribune" has been a Jonah to about every paper of that name since

the demise of Horace Greely, as his

was the only successful Tribune in the

world, and fate has decreed there

never can be another. Rochester Republican.

The Plymouth Republican was not

established in 1855 nor by John Mill! gan and there are very many success

ful Tribunes in the world, more than

there are successful "Republicans" if

the newspaper directories are reliable.

Our venerable and greatly respected

friend, Major Bitters, is, we think,

as much mistaken in his opinion as he is in his statements of fact; but we

cannot nope to convince mm and so

decline the opportunity for controversy, assuring him, however, that the

republican flag still flies on our corner

and TnE Tribune will alwavs be

found doing its level best to bring

that good day he sees in his optimistic

vision when the nrincinles of the

Vmerican republic will be accepted by

all the nations of the world. Hurrah

for Roosevelt and the Grand Old

Party!

Interest of home and church and through them of the entire country" and it deserves the warm enwuragement of all good citizens. The meetings appointed for Sunday 1 School week in this city and county ought to be largely attended by parents, even by those who have ordinarily taken

little or no part in the school work, for they owe it to their children to know what opportunities for religious education are offered and how the work is being conducted.

The Plymouth Republican is no more, it having stepped aside for Vol. 1, No. 1, of the Plymouth Tribune.

The management of the new paper

will hereafter be conducted by Hen-

dricks & Co., with R. B. Oglesbee as

editor. TheTribune is brim full of

news and we wish the new venture succes.---North Liberty News.

The name of the Plymouth Daily

News and the Weekly Republican,

published by Hendricks & Co., has

been changed to Plymouth Tribune.

The reason assigned for the change is "that in progressive journalism a

party name has come to be a disadvantage to a paper whose first object Is to print news." R. B. Oglesbee,

formerly connected with the paper,has

resumed the editorship of The Tribune. He is a bright, versatile writer who knows what is required to make a good paper. South Bend Times.

The Plymouth Republican, edited and published by W. G. Hendricks, ceased publication this week, after an existence of 50 years, and the Plymouth Tribune succeeds it. The Evening News, by which name the daily edition of the Republican has been known, is also discontinued, and the Daily Tribune takes its place. The new papers are published by Hendricks & Co.. and edited by R. B. Oglesbee. The News wishes the publishers a full measure of success.---Michigan City News.

The name of the Plymouth Tribune has replaced that of the Plymouth Republican and Daily News, and the daily and weekly editions of the official republican paper of Marshall county is now issued by Hendricks & Co. under the above name, with R. B. Oglesbee as editor. The chief reason for making a change in the name of the paper is given that a party name has come to.be a disadvantage to a paper whose first object is to print the news. The Plymouth Republican was established a half-century ago. ' The

enterprise and progress! veness of the

Plymouth Tribune people deserve all the patronage the public is able to be

SUNDAY SCHOOL WEEK. The value and importance of the

Sunday School as an integral part of church work in all communities has

been recognized in recent years as

never before and the influence of the Sunday School as an institution is being greatly extended. Not only, the women of the church, in whose hands

chiefly the Sunday School work rested

for many years, but the leading men

of the country in business and professional life, are now interested participants as leaders and teachers in training the young along religious

lines There has been established a special observance known as Sunday School week, falling this year in the

week of ' October 21, devoted to the

upbuilding of the schools, and this is

organized among all the denomina

tions acting in co-operation. Meet

ings are held in all the townships throughout the land and methods of

Sunday School work are discussed by the active workers. This year the

central topic is divided into two parts,

"The Moral and Religious Needs of

Children" and , "The Sunday School as an Agent to Meet those Needs," and all the programs are constructed with reference to those branches.

During this special week a house-to-

house visitation is made in all com

munities for the purpose of gathering information concerning the church affiliations and preferences of all people and with a view to gettingj.into personal touch with those who are

The Plymouth Republican, which has been circulated in Marshall County the past half century is no more in fact it has turned up its toes to the daisies. But in its place we have before us the Plymouth Tribune, volume 1, number 1, which, although an infant, shows the marks of a master at the helm, who is able to dish up the news in a variety that will surely please the most fastidious. It is the same size as the old Republican, and its mechanical and typographical appearance denotes that nothing but experienced men are employed to conduct the mechanical department. Although it will not be a dyed-in-the-wool Republican organ, its editor says it will whoop 'er up for the old party, so far as principles go, but the Tribune will be more of a newspaper than a party organ.

We have reproduced in these columns a copy of one of several metropolitan press dispatches from Denver telling how two boys named Hasselbein, living in that city, were driven from Culver military academy by hazing and other abuses and at the same time we expressed our doubt of the truthfulness of the tale. It now leaks out, despite the faculty's injunction of secrecy, that the two boys had, as we said, an undisclosed reason for leaving the institution and that reason has a humorous aspect. The two boys entered the academy at the opening of the present term and got along all right, with no difficulty of any kind, until there appeared at a hotel on the lake a woman who posed as a friend of the Hasselbein family and whom the cadets romantically regard as the mother of the sweetheart of the elder boy. At any rate the woman took considerable interest in the welfare of her young friends and visited the school daily. When she could not be with them at the school she wanted them to be with her at the hotel. Permission was readily granted the young Hasselbeins to take supper with their family friend and to spend an evening with her within the usual reasonable restrictions, but she wanted more. She wanted them at dinner, then in the afternoon, then to stay all night, and when they were denied some of the privileges she demanded she urged them to break bounds, and when they did so and were placed under arrest she induced them to break arrest. Things got interesting rapidly. The woman from the wild west told her two proteges and such other cadets as she could meet that they were ninnies to submit to rules, that no one had any right to order them about, that the professors and officers were unreasonable tyrants and that the

cadets should do as they liked and resent any un-American interference with their liberties. She was especially outraged at the sight of upper

classmen in command of younger boys

at drill and she tossed her head and sniffed like a queen over a plate of burned pancakes. Col. Fleet told her in his kindly and

benevolent way that she was injuring

the boys, but she only grew indignant;

he told her that she must cease her attentions to them and leave them to

their work, but she scorned him; he

told her he would be compelled to

send for the parents, and she dared him.

Now the colonel is very military and he wont't take a dare. He sent for the parents and the result was that he told them they must take their two young hopefuls away. So they went and the mother of the sweetheart went also, breathing threats and defiance and declaring that she would publish the school to the world and blast it forever. After their departure the academy settled down in its even way and all went well until the blast came, in the shape of the newspaper dispatches already alluded to, charging that

boys were thrown into the lake night-

ly and that the tender young plebes were required to perform menial services for their superiors. Colonel Fleet smiles blandly and says nothing when he is asked why the Hasselbeins left Culver.

MORE CONGRATULATIONS

Deaths in Indiana in September. The regular monthly reports of the State Board of Health sho.v there

were 2825 deaths in the state in Sept

ember. This is an annual death rate of 13.6 per 1,000. There was therefore, a decided improvement in the health of Uje state in September. The number of deaths under one year of age was 465; from 1 to 6 inclusive, 294; 65 and over 657. Consumption, as usual, leads the list as a cause of death, as there were 296 deaths from this disease. As consumption is a preventable disease, the question is, how long will the people continue to sicken and die with it, rather than take preventative steps against it? Typhoid fever, the .filth disease, caused 188 deaths; diarrhoeal diseases caused 358 deaths, diphtheria caused 39, scarlet fever ;4, whooping cough 16; pneumonia 75, cancer 105 and violeuce 113. Tiierc were two deaths from smallpox, one In Daviess and one in Laporte county. The cities show a death rate of 15.1 and the country 12.9. The respective death rates per 100,000 from certain causes for cities and country were as follows: Consumption, cities 121.3; country 141.1; typhoid fever, cities 76.3; country 98.6;

diarrhoeal diseases, cities 163.7; coun

try 177.6; cancer, cities 59, country

36.7; puerperal fever 4.3; country 2.9.

Smallpox was reported from the fol

lowing counties: Dearborn, Wayne, Tipton, Wellig Knox, Daviess, Hendricks, Jay, Randolph, Delaware,

Grant, Warwick, Laporte, 80 cases in all. '

Ex-Chairrhan Davis Writes From Washirvgton About the New Paper.

Ex-County Chairman Davis writes us as follows from Washington: I beg to congratulate the new firm and its editor on the appearance and make up of the PlymouthTribune, and wish you great success!. It has long been my opinion that a glaring party head is detrimental to a country newspapers. The name "Democrat" or "Republican" is more or less distasteful to the voter who is not a politician. Metropolitan papers long since recognized this fact and few if any of them now bear party names; as Plymis taking on "city airs" I presume you want to get right into line. 'May the Tribune "fill a long felt want" (or a "want long felt" as the case may be) and its circulation never cease, is the wish of, Yours Truly, John G. Davis,

NEW BAR DOCKET

Interesting Facts About Business Pending in Court The new bar docket for the October term of circuit court contains the titles of 126 civil suits, of which 44 were filed since the adjournment in July. Of these new cases 14 are for divorce, 6 are on notes and accounts, 6 are in partition and to quiet title, 9 are for foreclosure, including ditch liens, one is for damages, 2 are in replevin, 2 are for guardianships for persons of unsound mind, and 4 are claims against estates. . The docket starts off with case number 6,939, the old familiar ex parte petition of Dan B. Lucas, which has been on the docket from time immemorial and of which nobody knows anything except John S. Bender. The last number is 11,739. Attorneys who are non-residents of the county appear in 36 cases. There are 144 estates of deceased persons and 240 guardianships of minors or insane. But ten criminal cases appear, eight of them coming forward from the previous term. Thirty-one attorneys are residents of the. county, 26 of these being in Plymouth, but several of these are not engaged in practice. The docket is arranged to include the December term.

There are two kinds of cheap glasses: One kind is made by pouring the molten glass into the mold and pressing it into shape, leaving a wavy and imperfect surface. The rays of light are then twisted and distorted. The second kind are called 'culls" which are remnants of. the grinding room. They are full of bubbles, imperfections and flaws and are imperfectly centered. The continual use of such glasses will in time injure the eye permanently, as the strain ;s great when looking through such glasses.
