PIANO FACTORY

Near Consummation of a Beneficial Project Early in the summer negotiations were opened by the Plymouth Business Men's association with a firm of promoters in Chicago concerning the location in the old Novelty plant of a piano factory, as was related exclusivelv in the Evening News at that time. The establishment in view is one of high standing and is operated successfully in a western city, and it has satisfactory reasons for changing its location. The negotiations have been quietly conducted in a business like way on both sides, resulting in a definite and acceptable statement of the terms required by the proprietors of the industry to be complied with here in order to bring them to our city. It is not deemed prudent at this time to disclose the identity of the concern or to make a public statement of the full terms of the proposal, for the reason that a premature disclosure would perhaps embarrass it in the trade it represents, but it may be said that the investigations by the local association have been thorough and satisfying and that for a sum approximating $3,000 a guarantee will be given to employ 100 men for a term of five years. The money is not to be paid to the company, but it is to be invested in the Novelty plant, the title to which will be held in a trustee until the terms of the agreement shall be fully complied with, after which the title is to pass to the company. The interests of Plymouth citizens are fully protected in every way by the proposed contract. A subscription paper has been placed in circulation and almost the required amount has been subscribed. There should be, and probably will be no difficulty in securing the full sum. Every citizen and owner of property in Plymouth has a direct interest as a beneficiary in this undertaking. In behalf of the gentlemen who are volunteering their services as solicitors it should be remembered that their interests are no greater than those of other men and it should also be remembered that the association they represent is composed of honorable and capable business men who would not lend their sanction to the solicitation if they were not, after a full examination satisfied that the plan is feasible and worthy. Put your name on the list and bid the solicitor Godspeed; he is working for you as well as himself and should not be treated like a book agent or detained by unnecessary questions. The subscription for the proposed new factory is going forward auspiciously and it may be confidently said that the necessary amount will be raised and that the requirements for bringing the concern here will be met. The proposition, stated more fully and actly than before, is as follows: The people of Plymouth are to turn over by a good and sufficient title to the new corporation the plant of the Indiana Novelty company as it now stands. This will require $3,000, the sum now being raised. The new company will at once improve and equip the property at an expense not less than $25,000, it will employ at least 50 men within one year, 75 within the second and 100 within the third and for two subsequent years, and it will give a satisfactory surety company bond for the performance of these conditions. A contract secured by such bond is to be made by the company with the Business Men's association before the real estate shall be conveyed to them. This is a fair arrangement and it is advantageous to the city. The amount asked will hardly pay the expense of removal and is a mere, bagatelle compared with the value of such a plant even during the stipulated time. The location of a large business here, with the investment of $25,000 in buildings and machinery, could well be taken as a sufficient guaranty for permanence even without the proposed bond. It will naturally be to the interest of the company to grow as rapidly as possible and to employ all the men it can find labor for, and these men will be largely skilled mechanics and will have families. Let no man fail to do his part. With Hurricane Speed. The Berlin correspondent of the London Daily News reports that a speed of 105 miles an hour has been attained on an electric railway between Marienfelde and Vossen, says the London representative of the Tribune. Engineers are even convinced that this speed can be increased. Running at this rate the air pressure was found to be equal to a wind force of twelve feet a second, a force which, on the German coast, has only been registered once, namely, in the hurricane of Feb. 1, 1894. It starts the circulation, expands the system, strengthens the heart, brings peace and happiness if taken this month. Rocky Mountain Tea made by Madison Medicine Co. J. W. Hess.

JAC0BY CORN

Interesting Account of a Variety Weil Known in This Vicinity. Our long-esteemed friend, John Jacoby, who has for half a century been regarded as one of the most progressive and successful agriculturists in Marshall county, has favored us with a very interesting account of a variety of corn grown by him and known among his neighbors as the Jacoby corn, its true name being unknown to him. He relates that one fall not less than thirty years ago, while attending the state fair at Indianapolis, his attention was attracted to an exhibit of corn from Illinois, the size and quality of which drew his experienced eye to it repeatedly and ultimately led him to make inquiries as to the character of soil it was raised on and the average yield. He had some land, now included in his fine farm a short distance east of thiscitv, which he had bought in 1847 and cleared the following season, and he concluded that this piece filled the description of the Illinois land and would duplicate its crops. He tried to secure some of the exhibited com for seed but was unsuccessful. Standing about the exhibit and handling the enormous ears a few grains came loose from the cob and dropped into his hand. He put these grains in his vest pocket and returned home. The next season he planted the precious seed and carefully tended the plants as they grew, and he was not disappointed in the result. The corn came true to its variety and gave him a good quantity for his next planting. He has raised it continuously since that time and a number of his neighbors have had seed from him and are meeting with like success. Mr. Jacoby thinks it is the best and most profitable corn grown In this locality and is justly proud of his achievement in doing so well with so small a beginning. A fair sample of this year's crop, which has just been shucked, was measured bv us. The ear is 12 inches long, 10 inches in circumference,; has 18 rows of grain and weighs one pound and ten ounces. The ear from which the original seed came was much largbe than this one and Mr. Jacoby has frequently found much larger ears in his fields of this variety. The quality is alwavs of the best. STREET ACCEPTED North Michigan Street Improvement May Now be Paid For. In special session Thursday evening, all the members present, the city council reached a final conclusion as to the sufficiency of the North Michigan street pavement and formally accepted the improvement, Councilman Sherer's being the only negative vote. It was admitted that the specifications for the work are not complied with to a gnat's heel, but the members deemed the contract tilled as nearly as is practical and that the job is, or .will be, as nearly perfect and effective as it Is possible to get. The contractors say that the winter's service will reveal the defects and they bind themselves by a bond for $2.000, in addition to the" maintenance bond heretofore given, to remedy all such imperfections in the spring. Parties who think they see things now have an entire winter in which to presemt grievances to the city dads or to show them how things ought to be done. The acceptance of the work now sets the city commissioners in motion to determine the damages and benefits and distribute the assessments for the cost. It also paves the way for the issue of improvement bonds and the city attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary forms and resolutions for that purpose. As soon as the council's work incident to the completion of the first contract is completed the Laporte street job will be taken up and ground through the same mill. The council is to be congratulated von getting through the negotiations with practically no disagreement with the contractors and with harmony within its own body. An Echo From Civil War Times. The "Waterloo, Ind., Press has been republishing some characteristic items resurrected from the files of the DeKalb Democrat. Under date of Feb. 3, 1865, the following bitter anti-draft editorial appeared: "The Draft. Next "Wednesday week, the 15 inst., or. soon thereafter, the inexorable wheel of death driven by Abe X.incoln and followers, will commence its revolutions, and grind out the names of three hundred thousand men to be sacrificed' for the mean ambition of giving-freedom to a few lazy, barbarous negroes. 'A freedom which to them will prove a greater curse than slavery, under any form, can possibly be." now tlmesthave changed I

TWO OF OUR GIRLS

Daughters of Plymouth Win Musical Honors in Chicago. Tt is a noteworthy fact that every music student who lias gone from Plymouth to the Chicago Musical college has won first honors and that those from this city who have pursued the profession of music have attained brilliant distinction. Plymouth has just ground for pride in her musical representatives abroad as well as in her attainments at home an 3 she ranks very high in the art of music among cities of equal size. Among those who have gone from here and taken high places two have recently come into special notice in Chicago through the immediate success of the Columbian School of Music opened in September. Mrs. Clare Osborne Reed is one of the two founders and leading spirits in the organization of this school and Mrs. Helen McDonald Gilmore is one of the principal instructors in the vocal department. Both of these ladies were born and raised in Plymouth, both were honor pupils at the Chicago Musical college and both have been connected with that institution as teachers from their graduation. Mrs. Reed is the daughter of Judge Osborne, who was for many years one of the foremost lawyers of this city. He stood very high in h!s profession in northern Indiana and though he passed away a full quarter of a century ago he is still remembered as a man of great influence for good in this community. Mrs. Reed took up the study of music early and pursued it diligently, including in her work a thorough course in Germany under such leading teachers as Raif and Leschetizky. The Musical Leader, in a recent issue, says that of her 'too much cannot be : aid, for she has been intimately associated with everything good in music," that as a pianist she "is distinguished for brilliancy, scholarly and poetic interpretation," and that for years past she "has been one of the heads of music education in the west and has stood for the highest standard obtainable." Many of her pupils are now heads of music departments in schools and colleges or take important parts in the concert field. Mrs. Gilmore is the accomplished daughter of Piatt McDonald of this city, and she also has occupied a high position in Chicago musical circles as a successful instructor. She passed through the Plymouth public schools from the lowest grade to graduation and then entered the Chicago Musical college, in which she became a teacher after completing her course with the highest honors. It is highly gratifying to her many friends here that she has attained such a measure of success as is hers. Th-i Columbia School of Music was received with instant favor and began under the most advantageous conditions. The enrollmeLt of students for the opening term far exceeded the anticipations of its founders. Plymouth people will always be profoundly interested in its success because two of her daughters stand at its head and guide its destiny, X Ray Cures Cancer. "We are in the beginning of an era when cancer will have no more terrors for anyone. In the last year and a half I have treated over fifty cases of cancer, including many forms of the disease, and have yet failed to find a single one that would not yield readily. I am of the belief that the disease can in the future be broken down quickly and surely, even when treatment does not begin before the disease is well advanced. This confident statement was made Wednesday by Dr. John E. Gilman, professor of materia medica in Hahnemann Medical college, Chicago, with reference to the results of his experiments with Roentgen rays in the cure of cancer. Dr. Gilman 's method of treatment Is very simple. It consists of two parts, which are carried along at the same time. The patient is given certain remedies which will supply the norganic material needed by his body in the rebuilding of the destroyed tissue, and he is subjected to the influence of th X rays every day for a few weeks or months, as the case may be, in order that the cancer germs may be destroyed. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured Wih local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.nCatarrh is a. blood or constitutional disease', and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucuos surface. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quaci: medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians iu this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucuos surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials free. . F. J. Ciianuy & Co, Props., : Toledo, O.
