OLDEST HOUSE IN TOWN

A Venerable Survivor of Fire and Destruction Still Standing. How many can point out the oldest house now standing in Plymouth? If one were to start out on a search for that venerable relic he might bring up at any one of possibly half a dozen residences and say, "Thou art the house," and still be in error. The first buildings that were erected in the town, and nearly all that were in existence prior to 1838, were consumed in ths destructive conflagrations of 1857, 1866 and 1872 and there are very few structures left that can truthfully claim an origin earlier than 1840. The first settler came in 1835, the town was organized in 1836, and by 1840 there was quite a thriving little village here. The oldest surviving house in Plymouth was built in 1837 or 1838 by A. L. Wheeler on the lot at the southwest corner of Michigan and Garro streets. The full lot, 88 by 126 feet, was fenced in and the house was set pretty well back from the front about where Suit's grocery is. The building was a one-story affair, very unpretentious, but as large and as good as any other in the town and was occupied by Mr. Wheeler's clerk. Later the ownership and occupancy changed several times, among the early dwellers therein having been John Houghton, rather of T. K., J. W., and J. E. Houghton; William Dunham, father of Mrs. T. K. Houghton: Horace Corbin, O. H. P. Bailey and other wellknown Plymouthites. The great fire of March 22, 1857, swept both sides of Michigan street and left the town desolate and discouraged, scorched but did not otherwise damage the house in question, which was the only building left standing between Laporte and Garro streets on Michigan. It was then the home of Mr. Dunham. Shortly before the war, when Oliver H. P. Bailey was living in it, the house was moved back across the alley to the Daws lot, now owned by Arthur O'Keefe, and was placed close to the street about where Dr. Reynolds has his office. The present dilapidated business structure on the Blain comer was then built, and it was considered a handsome addition to the town's architectural splendors. Later, and not long after the close of the war, the dwelling was once more moved and was placed in its present location, where, by successive improvements and additions, it became the handsome residence now occupied by Dr. Preston and known as the Viets property. If anybody knows of any house in Plymouth older than this one, let him now speak or forever hold his peace. What is it. Advertising is the life blood of the business world today, and well directed advertising is like the powerful searchlight of a river steamer, thrown upon a distant cottage on the bank, cutting it out like a picture painted on a black canvas. The timid buyer and the prospective industry will follow the rays of the searchlight of Dublicity, just as surely as will the eyes-of the steamer's passengers follow the light thrown from their vessel. They will not search the surrounding gloom for objects of interest when a beautiful picture is clearly shown before them. Prospective buyers will not search the surrounding gloom for your competitors if the searchlight of publicity is turned on your own place of business Canastota (X. Y.) Bee. Here's Fun For Everybody. Stand on your right foot, hold your left foot behind your back and in your right hand, grasping your right ear with your left hand. Have a newspaper or some othei object on the ground, or at the height of some six inches from the gronnd. Hop toward it, and do your utmost to catch it in your teeth and raise it. Let several attempt to do it at the same time, and there will be fun. Give a prize tqthe one who succeeds, or require a forfeit of the one who fails and there will be more fun. Robbins Not Disbarred. At the close of a three day fight before Judge O'Rnrke in Ft. Wayne II. It. Bobbins, the somewhat tumultuous . Knox lawyer, who was under charges for disbarment, went hence in the full possession of his , right to practice law as heretofore. He completely disproved every charge against him. Judge O'Rourkc criticised him for carelessness in Iiis methods and ordered an acquittal." 3Iartindale & Stevens were prosecuting the Starke countv jurist and were beaten at everv point. Rochester Getting Good. Rochester is U the midst of a geneneral church revival) the 3Iethodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Christian churches all holding successful gospel meetings. The Methodists have taken in thirty new members, the Baptist thirty and the Christians twentyfive. Among the converts are many members of leading Rochester families.

INVESTMENT SCHEMES

Efforts to Protect Gudgeons Against Their Own Appetites For Glittering Bait. The Stillnian Copper and Milling Company, of Chicago, and the Hoosier 3Iining Company, of Spokane, Wash., will not be allowed to do business in Indiana until they comply with the Indiana laws. Attorner General Taylor has so advised State Auditor Hart on the matter. The stock of the former is offered at 15 cents a share and is advertised as nonassessable. State Auditor Hart says the statutes of most states make the stock holders liable for the remaining 85 cents and do not permit of nonassessable stock. Several days ago Attorney General Taylor directed a letter to James X. Tyner, assistant attorney general for the postoffice department, calling his attention to the use the mails are put to in advertising fraudulent investment schemes. 3Ir. Taylor has received a reply from 31 r. Tyner, who refers to the Home Co-operative Company, of Kansas City, one of the companies mentioned in Attorney General Taylor's letter, and said the department has been righting such companies in one form or another for a long time past. "Probably not 2 per cent, of those permitted to continue," he says, "adhere to their agreements, and we are in a constant condition of turmoil with them. One expert from this office, who has studied the principles of the various so-called financial schemes involved in these contracts, travels at least one-half of the time, in company with a postoffice inspector, in hunting up their disregard of the law and their obligations, the result of which is that we are almost daily putting them upon the fraud list. But no sooner do we condemn one of these concerns and put it out of the mails than it springs up under another title, in another form, and begins to cheat and rob innocent and unsuspecting people." Bremen Fair Officials. The directors of the Bremen Agricultural association met in the office of S. J. Hayes Tuesday evening, and elected as general superintendent Harmon Knoblock; speed superintendent, S. J. Hayes; track superintendent, Daniel Vollnoglc; privilege superintendent, Wm. Huff. Committees tor the different departments of the fair were also named. The date for holding ing the fair has not been decided, owing to the fact that the Bourbon people have appropriated the usual date of the Bremen fair the first week in October. The date will be fixed at the next' meeting, two week hence. Bremen Enquirer. One Thousand Acres In Cottonwood. W. II. Freeman, secretary of the state forestry board, has been conferring with an Indianapolis real estate dealer who proposes to plant 1,000 acres of Indiana land in Cottonwood to be used for paper pulp. The two called on the governor, who is interested in the paper business, and discussed the matter. It is said that four years after the cuttings are planted many of the trees are ready for the pulp mill. It is estimated that an acre will yield from 45 to 105 cords a year after the first four years, and that the pulp mills are now paying from 7 to $9 a cord for cotton wood delivered. Persistent Publicity. One hardly appreciates the full value of publicity until he carelessly buys a certain brand of goods, and then wonders why he asked for that particular brand. All of a sudden it dawns upon him that he has been educated to that brand by the constant appearance of its name. In the same way the public is attracted to a store by the constant appearance of its advertisements in their favorite newspapers. SebelNGlass Marriage. At the home newly-fitted for their occupancy in southeast Plymouth Jacob Selell and Daisy Glass were married Friday evening by Rev. (). S. Thornberry, in the presence of members of both families. The bride is a daughter of Officer Joseph Glass and the groom is employed on the Pennsylvania railway improvement work at this place. New Think About Your Health. In the warmer weather of spring you should be strong and in robust health, your blood pure and your appetite good. Otherwise you will be in danger of serious illness. Purify and enrich your blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla and thus "prepare for spring." This medicine makes rich, red blood and gives vigor and vitality. Improved Postals. Firms having many small notes and messages to write sometimes resort to postal cards. The use of a plain postal card is not commercial; with your note head printed on the message side you dignify the postal card into a business letter.

Speaking of Sympathy. "Both Biddies dead poor fellows they made a plucky fight! " "31 rs. Soffel dying poor woman!" So run the sympathetic comments upon the terrible drama of crime and retribution just closed in Pennsylvania.

The outlaws were resolute; it was almost their only good quality. Their dupe ispitiabie,and no one need grudge a generous thought of her. But there are other and worthier objects of sympathy with whom the Biddies had to do. There is the family that mourns Grocer Kaney, killed by their gang; the family of Detective Fitzgerald shot when with equal pluck and an errand he went to arrest them, there is the prison clerk 3IeGarey, whose skull is fractured, and Reynolds, the guards they shot. These men's wounds are honorable. There is Warden Sol f el a faithful public servant and a kind husband, shamed, crushed, abandoned, his career broken and his home in sorrow. A little more justice in the apportionment of sympathy, fewer flowers for murderers and more thought tor the families oC their victims and such tragedies as that of the Pittsburg jailbreakers would be uncommon. New York World. Lincoln League Meeting. As heretofore announced the Lincoln League of Indiana will hold its annual meeting at Terre Haute on February 12 and 13, li02. This promises to be one of the greatest meetings ever held by the league in this state. The afternoon meeting on the 12th will be addressed by the president of the league, bv Hon. Sidney A. Foster, of Iowa,and Hon. E. L. Hamilton, congressman from 3Iichigan. T ie banquet to be held at the Terre Haute House will oe attended bv some of the most brilliant men of the state who will respond to toasts. Every republican in the state is cordially invited to attend. The railroads have granted a rate of one fare for the round trip. It is to be hoped that the republicans all over the state will generally attend this meeting. The Latest Graft . The South Bend Times savs the latest swindle is worked by a smooth man who professes to be selling suit patterns as agent for a large merchant tailoring establishment. He carries the goods with him and sells enough for a suit for $15, apparently at a great bargain. After the sale is made and the money paid, the agent, apparently as an afterthought, in forms the purchaser that his firm will, if he desires it, cut the suit ready to sew up free of charge. If the purchaser bites, as many do, the agent takes the goods and the money and that it the last seen of them. Incidents of a Voyage. Editor A. D. Craig, of the Becknell News, who was a delegate to the national Sunday school convention at London three years ago, is publishing in his paper a readable and instructive account of the trip. In the last issue he descri!es a fire on shipboard, by which the delegates were for a time much alarmed, and a mock trial, in which Hon. John W. Parks officiated as prosecutor with great credit. Lapaz Items. Superintendent 3Iarks and Trustee Stilson were visiting the schools of this township last week. 3Ir. Helms, teacher of Dist. No. 8, has dismissed his school for the past two weeks, on account of sickness. , The teachers of this township seem to enjoy taking their school visiting. We think this is worth more to the pupils, if the object of the visit is carried out, than their regular work for that half day. Any one wishing to take the "Degree of Alliance" can do the same by coming here when the Woodmen meet on Wednesday evening, or the K. O. T. 31. on Saturday evening. Either order would be glad to accommodate vou. . The A. O. O. G. order at Lapaz is prospering nicely; there were six new members added to our number recently and good prospects ahead for many more. At the next regular meeting, Thursday evening, arrangements will made fXr an entertainment. Money Question Discussed. The debate at Linkville Saturday evening, Feb. 1, was well attended. The question for discussion was "Resolved, That the redemption dollar is a deception and a-fraud." The affirmative was discussed by David Yeagley and the negative by P. J . Trover. 3Ir. Yeagloy said he was not in the least afraid of Mr. Troyer for he had studied the money question for twelve years and had it perfect, and that Mr. Trover had no argument in his favor. 3Ir. Yeagley gave the first forty-five miuute speech and was followed by a forty-five minute speech by Mr. Troyer, who proved that 3Ir. .Yeagley did not know half as much a-bout the question as he thought he did. 3Ir. Yeagley has been challenging eveay one lie saw for a discussion of this question and we are pleased to know that he has found his match at last.
