The editor of the daily democratic paper in this city last Thursday evening sent to all his exchanges marked copies of his papers containing a column article containing all the charges, and more than all that have ever been made against the management of Brightside. This article was copied in full by some of the papers and referred to by most of them, thus creating the impression throughout the state that there is something wrong at Brightside. Metsker wished to advertise himself. without regard to the effect it' would have on the orphans' home. Dr. John. n. Taylor, a leading democrat of the state and a prominent physician of Crawfordsville, is inclined to be very pessimistic about the future of the democratic party. Dr. Taylor says he will take no part in the state campaign because there will be no place for a real democrat in the politics of the state. The party, he says, will be dominated by the "goldbugs" and wjll go down in defeat this year. Dr. Taylor contends that the gold men of the party are not democrats and never have been. He sees no immediate hope for the real democracy. He thinks Jeffersonian principles will live, but the democratic party will probably go to pieces. Some day, however, he thinks, the party will reassert itself and under a new name take its place in the world again.

Mrs, McMaster, who has been in failhag health for two years, is daily greying weaker and there is little bspe of her recovery.

Mr. King and wife, and her -sister, Miss Myra King, will go to Ada, Ohio, to reside permanently. The King family made -many friends in Plymouth. The democratic leaders claim a large majority in this city but neither paTty knows anything about majorities at the city election. A majority of voters will not pay much attention to parties at the city election. They will vote for honest -competent men regardless of party. Eider?Nathaniel I. Hodges, of Garden Oity and Elder Leonard Banks, of Minersville, Utah, are here in the interest of Mormonisra. They have received permission from Mayor Jones to make a house to house canvass and preach on the street corners. They have already commenced work. Plymouth voters will have an opportunity Tuesday. May 6, to elect six good men to the city council.

Tire wind last Saturday did much damage at Logansport, Montpelier, Flora, Lafayette, Winamac, Marion, Portland, Peru and other points south and southwest of Plymouth. It was comparatively calm here de motistrating again that the Yellow River valley is more free from storms than any other place. In some unaccountable way the re port was started Monday that B. W. Ilealy the well known, railway postal clerk of this city, had been kill ed in a railroad accident. There was no reason for the report but. it caused his wife. much uneasiness. People should be careful not to circulate such reports until they know: they are true. Farmers in Howard and adjoining countie&are reported much discouraged over me crop prospects, iney are a unit in. declaring. that . by no possibil ity can .the wheat xrop be.more than half a yield. The.fly,.the hot winds, dry soil and cool weather have damaged the .wheat irreparably, and with favorable conditions .froniinow. on the yield will be .less than 50 .percent of the average. Farmers' wives, to say nothing of the .farmers themselves, will be interested .in a decision by a New York court that as eggs are more a product of woman's care of .hens -.than a direct farm product, the .woman has. a right to regard them and the proceeds de rived from their sale as her especial property. The case came up in the shape of a suit brougat by a farmer's wife against her husband to prevent his apiTpriation of the "pfftr money as his own. A stranger caused considerable excitement in Hamlet Monday night. Almost immediately after going to his room at the hotel he commenced firing his revolver, rushed down stairs out into the street shooting' as he ran until his gun was empty. .

He was well dressed, but had not been identified at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Snap for Mail Carriers, Rural mail carriers are to have a chance to'make some money on the side by the terms of an amendment which the senate made to the postoffice appropriation bill. The measure has passed both houses and is now before the committee which is trying to agree on this and other amendments. It provides that a carrier can do express package business in addi tion to carry Jng the mail, provided it does not interfere with his official duties; also, that they can administer oaths in executing pension vouchers and charge 25 cents per oath.

Council Proceedings, Mayor Jones called the council to order promptly at 7:30 Monday night with all Xhe members present. John Hoham asked the council to pay him $25 for the well maintained by him on Laporte street since 1866, and he promised that if the council would pay him this sum, he would maintain the well as long as he lived. The matter was referred to the committee on water works. Lawrence Linkenhelt asked permission to move his old ware house to lots adjoining his new ware house. The request was granted, providing that he should be responsible 4 for all damages that m!ght occur by the removal of said building. City Attorney Hess reported the Giller obstruction entirely removed. Water Works Superintendent Joe Eich reported the west boiler of the water works in need of new flues, and was ordered to purchase new flues and to have the old ones repaired. Chief of Fire department Kuhn reported the destruction of 500 feet of rubber hose at the recent fire, and he was ordered to purchase 1000 feet of Maltese Cross rubber hose at $1 per foot. The chief also reported the need of a leading pipe from the river into the west cistern at the water works to provide for emergencies. The master was taken under advisement. , The finance committee reported the araouut on hand $4,815.70, bills allowed $422.09, balance $4,393.61,

balance in improvement fund $633.68. The election board recommended bv the city chairmen were approved and confirmed. The city attorney was authorized and directed to prepair declaratory resolutions providing for the widening of the pavement on South Michigan street,, between the river bridge and the viaduct. The representative of the Street Sweeper Co., was present and presented the merits of the Street sweeper to the council, but no action was taken and the council adjourned. Condemned in Missouri and Conficated in New York. Judge Clarke of St. Louis has convicted and fined heavily a number of grocers for selling baking powders containing alum. The week before the health department of New York seized a quantity of stuff being sold for baking powder which they found was made from alum mixed with ground rock, and dumped it into the river. The health authorities are thus tak ing effective means to prevent the in troduction into our markets of injuri ous substitutes in place of wholesome baking powders. as aium costs only two cents a pound, there is a great temptation for those manufacturers who made sub stitutes and imitation goods, to use it. Alum baking powders can be detected by the health authorities by chemical analysis, but the ordinary housekeep er, whose assistance in protecting the health of the people is important, cannot make a chemical examination. She may easily know the alum powders, however, from the fact that they sold at from ten to twenty cents for a pound can, or that some prize like a spoon, or glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden ware is given with the powder as an inducement. As the people continue to realize the importance of this subject and consumers insist on having baking powder established name and charac ter, and as the health authorities continue their vigorous crusades, the alum danger will, it is hoDed. finally be driven from our homes. 0 IN

The Saturday Club. The Saturday Club met Saturday April 26th, with Mrs. Julia K. Blain. The day being inclement but few members were present but those who were there felt amply repaid for braving the storm as they listened to the reuding of the paper for the day on "Sculpture" by Mrs. Carrie Tanner. At the conclusion Mrs. Tanner repeated a few verses from memory applicable to the subject. Mrs. Underwood also read a very interesting letter from Mrs. Willie and all agreed that notwithstanding it required an unusual effort to be present they had been fully repaid for coming. : '-' Cost of a King. Edward YII's coronation will cost the equivalent of $20,000,000 but it will nearly all come from the pockets of the wealthy or upper class, and will be distributed chiefly among tradesmen and artisans. Useless as such pageantries are, it is another Instance of "an ill wind that blows nobody any good." Culver Items. There are now in course of construction five fine dwelling houses in Culver, with many more to follow. A number of the cottage owners are here fixing up their cottages and preparing for the hot season, when they caa sit in the shade of old Lake Maxinkuckee and have their brows bathed with the breezes from off its crystal waters. Postmaster. Dr. B. W. S. Wiseman, left Monday morning for Altamont, Illinois, where he wli visit his daughter, Mrs. Behmer for an indefinite time. He will also visit friends in St. Louis, Mo., and other points before he returns. The Yandalia Railroad company hr.ve a large force of men at work here with a steam shovel, cutting down the bank in tt.e deep cut just north of Culver, and will extend its side track to Culver Military Academy switch. It is expected that it will take about six weeks to complete the job. Democratic candidates are more numerous than tramps in this section. Everyone of them have a tale of woe to tell a yard long and two yards wide, giving reasons why the other rascals should be turned out and new men put in office. It is really pitiful and amusing to note the gall of some Daniel McDonald, the former sachem of the Democrat, has completed a fine club house on the south side of the lake, and no doubt is ready to meet W. J. B. and talk over those old times when they were sure the freesilver humbug would be fostered upon the people. Uncle Dan says he is cut of politics however, and may be he is. The Wabash College base ball nine arrived in Culver Friday evening from South Bend and on Saturday after noon met the C. M. A. nine at the academy grounds. The teams played six innings, the score standing 21 to 1 in favor of the academy. Of all the

If IUI üü J Li

THE NEW BANK BLOCK

"rotten" players that ever went down the pike, those Wabash fellows were the worst. We have a second nine in Culver City that can clean them up without a struggle. The C. M. A. has the best club this year that ever entered the diamond at the academy, and it is looking for ball players, not 1 'scrubs." of the fellows who are trying to foster their claims upon an unsuspecting public. Everyone of them were redhot Bryan men, at the time the "Colonel. " was. Shouting his balderdash theories throughout the country. But now these politicians know not where they are at, and say they are waiting for that new platform to develop, as the principles advocated by the great Nebraskan are dead. My, it is awful to contemplate that it is a fact that the great rank and file of democracy have to go blundering along in the dark until after the next democratic national convention, before it can tell about those "great issues'' embodied
