Johnson of Goshen, well known in this county and throughout northern Indiana, is in a critical condition. He is afflicted with a complication of ailments, the most alarming being heart trouble. The Rochester Sentinel says Marshall county has two democratic lawyers who are avowed candidates for circuit judge and three more who would like to have the nomination, and that Fulton county has at least five democrats who would be glad to get the nomination. There has been a big slump in the price of hogs during the past two weeks, but farmers cannot complain much, for they have been getting good prices for several months, and one prominent farmer said yesterday that the price of hogs ought never to be higher than at present. A young dude in Elkhart county contracted a bill of $11 for dental work, and then declined to pay, pleading that he was a minor, and the contract invalid. A justice of the peace thought differently, and the circuit Court affirmed this view. The youngster has been committed to jail until he settles. E. M. Chaplin, the Warsaw school book agent who was in Plymouth a few days ago thinks township trustees would better look "a leetle out" as the president of their association has been sent to the penitentiary. This is Chaplin's way of telling that James D. Reid, of South Bend has been appointed warden of the northern prison. After being out twenty-four hours, the jury in the case of Campbell charged with attempt to commit rape, returned a verdict finding the defendant guilty of assault, fining him $1.00 with imprisonment in the county jail six months. The verdict was a compromise, ten of the jury believing him guilty as charged in the indictment while two voted steadily for acquittal. The verdict does not meet the approval of the public generally.

There are no prospects of rebuilding the business blocks destroyed by fire at Knox, Sunday, Nov 3. The indications are that the fire will prove a severe blow to the town. W. E. Peterson, deputy supreme counsleor of the Knights and Ladies of Columbia, who has his headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio, returned home Thursday evening for a short visit. Charles B. Thompson, supreme finance keeper of supreme tent of Maccabees confess a shortage of $57,000 and tenders his resignation. It is said the order will not lose anything. Nicholas Goodman, of South Elkhart, has a four-legged chicken. In the same setting of 12 eggs, one failed to hatch. It was opened and found to contain twin ducks. They are alive. It is said that John L. Sullivan is going to join an Uncle Tom's Cabin company. If Sullivan's show comes to Plymouth Dan McDonald will go to see Uncle Tom for the first and last time. Mrs. William Erwin of Bourbon is gaining an enviable reputation as a lecturer at farmers' institutes. She has been engaged by Professor Latta, of Purdue university, to deliver several lectures within the next four weeks at Newton, Ossian and other points. Mrs. Amasa Johnson is lowering her business room on Michigan street so as to bring the top of the foundation to a level with the sidewalk. The building will be fixed up generally. Mr. Lillybridge, who now occupies the room, intends to quit the jewelry business and remove to Carrollton, Mo., in a few weeks. There seems to be general dissatisfaction with the verdict in the case of the state versus Campbell. If Campbell is guilty he should have been sent to the state prison. If he is not guilty he should have been acquitted. Everybody seems to think that to keep him in jail here six months longer is an outrage on the tax payers.

Oscar Machlin, who has been putting the finishing touches on D. B. Shively's residence north of Inwood during the past two weeks, returned to his home at South Bend Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Becknell went to Chicago, Saturday from there Mrs. Becknell went to Dixon, Ill., to visit her son, Walter White, a former typo of the Republican in this city, who is now married and employed at Dixon. The superintendent of the Three I railroad has filed a profile of the proposed extension of that road from South Bend to Elkhart with the county authorities at Goshen. The work will be completed in the early spring. A sure cure for heaves in horses, or hogs, providing the case has not been of too long standing, is to mix a teaspoonful of sulphur in slightly wet feed three times a week. Then miss a week. Heaves are due to disease producing germs in the lungs. The latest, gang of "scientists" to appear is the "biochemists," who deal with the chemistry of life and come pretty nearly teaching that a man can live on air alone if he breathes as he should. They may not exactly advise this exclusive diet, but they claim that the system is built up and maintained by the air. The Rev. H. B. Townsend, of Elkhart states that in his 36 years in the ministry he has married 1,646 persons, received into the church 1,725, baptized 1,700 and conducted the funerals of 1,820. In his 36 years' work he has failed to fill his pulpit on account of sickness but once. He has been pastor of three churches and organized four. The truancy law is to be more strictly enforced in the future than it has ever been in the past, all over Indiana. The new laws passed by the last legislature are more stringent than ever in regard to the truancy matter and make it compulsory for children under 14 years of age to attend school, regardless of the financial condition of the parents to whom the child belongs. C. M. Saylor, chairman of the board of auditors of the great camp Knights of the Maccabees, died at 9 o'clock Thursday morning at his home in Wabash, after a long illness of typhoid malaria. Mr. Saylor was about 60 years of age and had been chairman of the auditing board since it was organized seven years ago. Besides his wife, one son and one daughter, survive him. A Good-Sized Infant. The following story, which Is vouched for by an Illinois paper, may be true, but we should hate to swear to it: "Last week a woman in a near by town went to the telegraph office and informed the operator that her husband had gone to Chicago to get a motto for a Sunday-school, but she had forgotten to tell him the inscription or how large the motto was to be. She wanted to know how long it would be before her husband could get the particulars if she sent them by telegraph. She was told. The operator was startled when he read it, for without explanation it said: 'My Dear Frank, Saratoga Hotel, Chicago. Unto us a child is born, 8 feet long and 2 feet wide."

High School Inspection. The State Board of Education decided Wednesday to inspect the high schools of the state each year. A list of 118 such schools that will be visited the ensuing year was prepared. The duty of visiting the schools will be apportioned among the members, and each member will submit to the board a report of the schools inspected by him, and the report thus made the question of issuing new commissions or renewing old commissions of high schools will be decided. The inspection, about to begin will be, says state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jones, the most thorough inspection of all high schools that has ever been made in the state. The board of education announced its intention to require of all high schools full compliance with the rules and regulations in regard to course of study, teaching force, sanitary buildings, library, apparatus, etc. Reduce Freight Rates on Hay. The hay men of Indiana and other Western States are making a warm fight before the Interstate-commerce Commission at Chicago in favor of a reduction of railroad rates on hay, which are now about twice as high as the rate on grain. It is said that as a result of this nearly $1,000,000 worth of hay was imported from Canada during the first nine months of 1900, while for the whole year previous to

that time less than one-fourth of that amount was imported. Produce dealers say Western hay has been practically forced out of distant markets by the excessive rates the rairoads are charging. It is the duty of the Int-erstate-commerce Commission to prevent such discriminations. Lawyers Win at Ten Pins.

Middletown, Ind., November 8---Glen Funkhouser, son of Daniel Funkhouscr, near this place, is alarmingly ill of milk sickness. When seized of this malady it is not uncommon for patients to drink a half gallon of whisky during the day and night, and keep it up indefinitely. Young Funkhouser is consuming more than a quart per day and night without showing symptoms of intoxication. When such symptoms arise it is evidence that the disease is yielding. Found Guilty of Murder. Charles W. Dunn, who has been on trial two weeks at Fort Wayne for the murder of little Alice Cothrell, was found guilty of murder in the first degree and will be sentenced to prison for life. The case was given to the jury Thursday morning and the verdict was returned at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The verdict gives general satisfaction in Allen county, as the evidence was conclusive that Dunn murdered the child and threw her body into the cistern. Another Man to Hang. The state prison officials at Michigan City have received Buck Wheeler from Warrick county. He is under sentence of death for the murder of his son-in-law whom he shot and stabbed. It is a coincidence that Wheeler is from the same county as Joseph D. Keith and that both men are under sentence of death. Wheeler is the third man now in the prison awaiting execution under the direction of the new warden, James D. Reid, of South Bend. Dead it the Age of 101. Mrs. Catherine Huron Skinner died Thursday afternoon at the home of her daughter in Fort Wayne. She was the first white child born in Lebanon, Ohio and the date of her birth was November 27, 1800. She was married when she was sixteen years old, was the mother of ten children five of whom are living. The eldest Mrs. Dr. Coleman, of Delphos, Ohio, is in her 82nd year. TURKEYS. Turkey time will soon be here and as has been our custom heretofore we will pay good prices for good fat stock. So do not bring us small and poor turkeys expecting full market price, for we will not pay it. The place for poor poultry is on the farm until it is ready for market. You can count on 8 cents per pound for good young turkeys from Nov. 11 until Nov. 20th. Young gobblers should weigh not less than 13 pounds, young hens not less than 9. Do not feed any kind of poultry the day you market it. Remember we buy all kinds of poultry the year round in any quantity. We pay spot cash. Have no goods to sell. Very Respc't. J. Swindell & Bro.

WRONGHURST ROASTS.

A Donaldson fellow named Green Got loaded and tried to be mean. We caved in his face And gave him a chase And in Wronghurst he'll no more be seen. We need a livery stable here. We don't know why, but other places have them and we want one. Rude Jessup is trying to trade his blind mule and a wheelbarrow for a horse. Rude is a born trader. Auntie Lingenberger is getting ready to make sauer kraut. Wash your feet, fellows, and be prepared to stamp. Jack Stretcher's wife nearly chopped her big toe off Sunday morning splitting wood. She set up a holler that woke the cows and Jack came charging out with his clothes all loose and a pillow hanging to his ear expecting to find something wrong. He went back to bed so mad at her for waking him up that he slept until after dinner and had to eat a cold snack. A Plymouth schoolteacher came out to Wronghurst Saturday with a hack full of kids and said they were looking for nuts and pretty leaves. Our better half invited them into the orchard and went into the house to cut a pie and get a pitcher of cider. While she was gone the teacher sat down on the beehive to eat an apple and the battle of Santiago opened then and there. We regret that we did not get in from the barn in time to meet the jolly party. Come again; we'll have the bees tied. Bill Sockum started to town with a big pumpkin for Hartle's pumpkin show yesterday. He got hold of an old paper and was awful mad when we told him the show was over and the prize given out. He aint the only man in Marshall county that runs a little behind the times. When we told him he could have the Plymouth Tribune delivered at his door every day for the price of a shave a week he said he didn't have time to read much. He will have time to sign an order for a patent elephant trap some day and then he will have more time to go and pay the note that turns up in consequence. Tim Duncan's oldest daughter is taking music lessons in Plymouth. Don't get stuck up, sis. Joe Henning's dog got a chicken bone in his throat the other night and it stuck for keeps. The moon needn't be afraid to come out nights now so far as that dog is concerned. A man from Elkhart drove all the way over here to talk at a Sunday School meeting Sunday night. We happen to know that he steers fairly clear of such work at home so we suppose he will pop up as a candidate for office next fall. A little bird told us of a wedding in the near future not more'n a mile from Wronghurst. Ah there' Jacob, we're next. Bill Booster. Died at the Borton Institute. Eugene Bell, a member of the cigar maker's union, who had been employed at Walkerton, came to the Borton institute for inebriates in this city a short time ago to take the gold cure. He was in bad shape generally and died Tuesday night. His home was at Vevay, Indiana. His brother, Samuel Bell, who resides at Peru, came here, took charge of the remains and had them shipped to Vevay for burial last Thursday. The Children's Friend. For coughs, croup, bronchitis, grip and other winter complaints One Minute Cough Cure never fails. Pleasant to the taste and perfectly safe. C. B. George, Winchester, Ky.: "Our little girl was attacked with croup one night and so hoarse she could hardly speak. We gave her a few doses of One Minute Cough Cure. It relieved her immediately. When she awoke next morning she had no signs of hoarseness or croup. I Sell Groceries, Stationery, School Books and Supplies, Wall Paper, Window Shades, W. M. Kendall, PLYMOUTH.

fort. You want a clear, fair complexion. This is really nine-tenths a question of the treatment of the pores of the skin. Some

toilet soaps are as nippy and keen as mustard. If you will only use the virtue you call your Judgment, it will tell you that any soap which leaves the hands habitually dry is robbing the skin of its natural oil. Free alkali is the robber's name. Ivory Soap has no free alkali. Try it! It floats.

Big Plans Completed. Plans are practically complete for the elevation of all tracks at Grand Crossing, Chicago, the most dangerous railroad crossing in the world. The roads were allowed six years ago to do the work, and it will cost over $1,000,000. Tracks of the Illinois Central, the Monon, the Michigan Central, the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago, the Lake Shore and the Nickel Plate, all go over this crossing at grade.

WHAT we say is exactly what we mean. .... There is neither honor or profit in fooling people---especially the sick---our Vinol guarantee is made in good faith. Those who buy it and get no benefit from it may have their money back. Every sick or ailing person should be willing to try Vinol on such terms.
