Plymouth's company of the Indiana National Guards was next to the largest encamped at Indianapolis. Captain Kendall and all the officers and men of the company are complimented for their military bearing, discipline and drill during the encampment aud the dedication of the monument. During the first quarter of the fical year the state of Indiana maintained an average daily population of 8,625 in the various charitable institutions, at an expense, including repairs to buildings, of $457,430.62. This is a large sum, but it is $23,000 less than was expended during the same period last year. The Elkhart G. A. R. veterans have long wished to have Past Department Commander Jas. S.

"The Lafayette, Morning Journal, the oldest Democratic newspaper in the state and the only morning paper in the Tenth congressional district, will . become Republican. W.

Reuben Kaley and his son, Samuci, left Plymouth last Saturday for Karrisburgh, Pa. They expect to visit in that vicinity several weeks in the neighborhood where Reuben Kaley was born, 81 years ago. He came to Marshall county and settled on a farm south of Culver, 57 years ago and has resided there ever since. He has spent but two days at his old home in all that time. An Indianapolis judge warns married women who are out after ten o'clock at night without their husbands, and whose martial woes are aired in his court that they will find him a hard judge. He believes it is a woman's duty to be at home early. His theory is all right, but it ought to be double-acting, and apply to the husband as well, when he is not kept away by duty. ' Joe Myers, a Kokomo manufacturer, of tomb stones, has caught the secret of the age. In order to stimulate trade he conducted an auction sale of unlettered tombstones, Saturday, and to every purchaser as well as to every person who visited his place, he presented cut roses and carnations. It is the first instance on record, so far as known, where a tombstone dealer has given a "grand opening." At 10:30 Thursday morning at "the Vandalia depot, Brakeman Oscar J. Parker, age twenty-seven and married, while cutting off a car and trying to raise lever and disconnecting and reaching for the coupling pin, caught his right arm between the car bumpers compeltely crushing the same. The company surgeon Dr. Aspinall assist: ed by Dr. Stephens, dressed the injury and sent him on No. 3 to his home at No. 1717 Broadway, Logansport. The chances are that with . conservative treatment the arm will be saved.

THE NEW BANK BUILDING

Wat Thrown Open to the Public hl day Evening, and Its Beauty and Conveniences Were Surprising. All of the rooms of the new State Bank were thrown open Friday evening. The officers and directors werCj present and all the employes of the bank were there to welcome visitors. The new rooms are certainly models in design and finish, and while there are many larger banking rooms in the state we have seen none that surpass this in beauty. The paintinj, frescoing and finishing of walls and ceiling are done in such a way that there is perfect harmony and the coloring is such that the light makes it seem different whenever your face is turned in a different direction, so that you apparently see a different room almost every time you enter the bank. The vault is one of the strongest in the state, the safe is excallent and the desks and windows of the cashier 'and tellers are arranged so as to readily accommodate patrons. The president has a nice room jast to the right of the entrance: there is a room for customers who wish to rest and write and in the rear is a large room for the transaction of official business. The basement is large and well ventilated, the heating apparatus is perfect, all the officers and clerks are perfect gentleman and ladlas with whom it is a pleasure to do business, and the bank is one of the strongest and best of its class. Plymouth and Marshall county may well be proud of banking facilities. MASONIC TEMPLE DEDICATED Lalge Attendance, Splendid Banquet, Excellent Work and the Finest Hall in Indiana. The formal dedicatory exercises of Plymouth's splendid Masonic temple took place Friday evening, followed by a splendid banquet by Albert's at the opera house. There were 267 plates and those who ought to know say the banquet was equal to the best ever given in Plymouth, which is saying all that could be said of any banquet anywhere on this wide earth. The proprietor of this office is not a Mason and of course we had no tickets, consequently cannot say much about the dedication, as we were not even furnished with a program of the exercises. The temple was thrown open to the inspection of the publican hour before exercises began, and it is undoubtedly the most conveniently arranged, and has the best appliances for Masonic work of any temple in the state. Its furniture is all new and up to date, and the electrical machinery for exemplifying certain parts of the work is in advance of that found in any other lodge of the state. The armory. Knights Templar room, Eastern Star room, Blue ledge room, toilet rooms and all accessories are complete and Plymouth Masons have a home of which they may well be proud. The cost of building and furnishing these splendid rooms was $0,000. The grand master was not present, and acting Grand Master Daniel McDonald officiated. There was no hitch in any of the proceedings and everything was done well. Many of Plymouth's best orators were on the program and it is reported that all acquitted themselves with credit, but, Mrs. S. N. Stevens, whose name was not on the program is said to have made one of the. finest short addresses ever heard in this city. j It was a gala occasion and will be long remembered. Judge of Circuit Court. Editor Tribune: In speaking of the case of Gans vs. Talbott, executor of the estate of John C. Dille, deceased, you quote me as saying "the above case was Bradshaw and Martindale's case," when in fact 1 heard that you were going to publish an article relative thereto, and I had a talk with your reporter, and told him that the case was tried by Bradshaw and Martindale in my absence from the city, but if he cared to investigate he would find that there was nothing dishonest about it. The truth of the whole matter is we were employed by Mr. Bradshaw who had the case upon what is called a, contingent fee, that is, he had to recover a judgment in order to receive anything for his services, and we took employment from him with that understanding. The case was tried in the Marshall Circuit court and the estate was represented by able lawyers. The court found there was due our clients the sume of $1,819.50 and fol; lowing the usual custom, when' cases are taken on contingent fees, we filed a lien for the one half thereof, out of which we received for our services the sum of $150.00. . j As regards the other case we received the. sum of $25.43 for three days work, out of which we paid the cost of the J. P. S. N; Stevens.
