Plymouth, Ind., February 19. "l(K)3. : It takes as much time to kill a bad bill as to pass a pood law and the legislature should be . commended for killing over fifty bad bills. Deadlock oTer the statehood bill in the senate shows no signs of yielding, and Senator Quay inteads, it is under

stood, to force an extra session unless

his measure is voted on.

Mr. Bryan, In an interview at New

lork. declared that he will not be a

candidate for the' democratic presi

dential nomination next year, and

that he is "merely a worker In the

ranks." '

MAJOR KENDALL IS DEAD

Expired Suddenly in His Chair at

Desk Monday Evening.

His

The citizens of the entire city were

startled Tuesday by the news that

Major Kendall was dead.

All day Monday he had greeted friends and customers at his store in

his usual hearty and jovial way, and when his son Lee and the clerks left

the store at 9 o'clock in the evening

he seemed as well as usual.

About 11 o'clock his wife, at home,

became alarmed at his remaining down town later than usual and tele-

phoned to the store, but could get no

response. She then telephoned to the Ross House for some one to go to

the store and at once started down

town. She reached the store found

the door open and the lights burning

and saw her husband in the chair at

his desk. She called to him but there

was no answer. Quickly reaching his

side she found him dead. Harvey

Steele who had started from the Ross

House to the store was only a few rods away when he heard her scream,

and was at her side in a minute.

Physicians were quickly summoned

but the heart had ceased to beat, the

spirit had taken its flight and Major

Kendall was dead of apoplexy.

No man was more prominent among

the representative citizens of Plym-

outh than William M. Kendall, who

was born at Warsaw, Wyoming county, N. Y., March 11, 1841, came to Plymouth with his father when he

was ten years old and had ever since

been a resident of this city.

His father died when he was only

twelve years old and left him without

any near relatives, but the boy had

pluck and energy; be found a home with Henry P. Pershing, who died

several years ago, obtained, a fair education, was made deputy county clerk when he was only eighteen years

old. In 1862 he enlisted in company

D., 73d, Ind., Infantry, was chosen

its captain, remained in the service until the war closed and was mustered

out at Indianapolis, July 12. 1865

with the rank of lieutenant colonel by brevet.

He was a gallant soldier, but was at

one time captured and was for several

months in Libby prison. He made

his escape from the prison and after

being pursued for weeks was finally

recaptured within a few miles of the

union lines and returned to prison.

It was while he was in prison that he

was promoted to the rank of major.

After his return from the army he

engaged in mercantile business in

which he remained until his death. Major Kendall was one of the prom-

inent republicans of Northern Indiana

and was for sixteen years postmaster

In this city. He was also a leading member of the M. E. church and was

a delegate from the Northwest In-

diana conference to the general conference at Omaha in 1892.

On December 29, 1861, deceased was united in marriage with Miss Harriet

E. Griffin, who survives him. Togeth-

er, they traveled life's journey for

more than 41 years. To this union six children were born, three of whom

are living. They are Lee M., Mary

and Edith, all residing in this city.

Funeral services will be held at the

M. E. church Thursday at 2 o'clock

p. m., and the remains will be laid to

rest in Oak Hill cemetery.

The legislature has three weeks in

which to enact important laws and kill bad bills. Iu members will have

to work hard if they accomplish in

both directions all that ought to be

done. " , .

Other states besides Indiana are wrestling with the convict labor question. In Wisconsin the state board of Control, after careful consideration of the subject, has reported to the legislature that the convict leasing system as conducted in that state cannot be improved on at present. They

ssy it is much better than the . state account system. The report quotes

extensively from WarrenMcLaughrey

of the government prison, at . Leaven

worth, . and from other high author

ities to show that plenty of hard work

is the Ealvation of a prisoner.

The selection of Private Secretary

Courtejyou as the first secretary of the

öeyartmeQt of commerce, reminds the country that Other, private Secretaries

have 'filled cabinet positions." John. Hay. the present secretary' of state,

was Lincola's private secretary.

A new "attorney general" bill' has

been introduced in the house. It is different from the measure killed In

the senate by fearful corporations and other interests that thought too much

power was placed in one man's band.. The proposed hew bill give the At

torney general the same power as

prosecuting attorneys to. bring quo

warranto proceedings. It does not

provide for proceedings brought direct

FROM BREMEN (CONTINUED FROM 1ST PAGE.) John H. Steineck has been a Bremen hardware dealer for seventeen years, and at present has a large stock of shelf hardware, stoves and agricultural implements. Mr. Steineck is a jolly gentleman and entirely satisfied with the excellent trade coming his way. Mrs. S. A. Bartlett, who has been dealing in millinery at her residence, on Plymouth street, will move her stock of goods into a store room soon as the workmen have it ready for her occupancy.

S. S... Lauderman deals exclusively in furniture, and for nine years has

been a hustling, successful business man of Bremen.

You furnish the face and D. S.

Koenig will do the rest. For nine

years Mr. Koenig has been ''taking pictures" without ever having been

indicted for doing a bad job, and, so

proficient has he become, that very

few people go away from Bremen for their likenesses. Mr. Koenig does all kinds of photographic work.

C. G. Mikel sells buggies, harness

and furs, but when the Tribune man

was at his salesroom he discovered that Mr. Mikel had failed to sell the

odor usually attached to the overcoat of a flag pole Kitty, but that didn't

matter much, as the retained odor

served as an excellent invisible fur

sigrn. C. G. Mikel is a genial fellow,

just the same, and the Tribune wishes

him all kinds of success in his business undertakings.

Henry Listenberger is a native of

German township, and has made

harness in Bremen for twenty years. His store is well stocked with ready made harness, and be does all kinds of repair work.

Isaac Litman is proprietor of the

"Everything Store," and from ap-

pearances Mr. Latman has his store

properly named. He has quite a

stock, and being a newcomer at Bre-

men, expresses himself as well satisfied with the patronage tendered him by the people.

Dr. C. E. Nusbaum enjoys a large

and lucrative practice in medicine and surgery. The doctor is a popular M.

D. in Bremen and vicinity. Harry L. Rice is now running the

Old Koontz blacksmith shop, and re-

ports work plenty. Harry has been proprietor of the shop for nearly four years. Bremen's substantial banking institution is named the Union State Bank. It was established in 1891, and has a capital stock of $35,000, with a $10,000 Surplus. Wm. Huff is its president and. I. L. D., Seiler,

cashier. The Star Cafe is a nice lunch stand beneath the J. F. Weiss hardware store. At present, if there is anything the people of this section of the world warm up to it is a warming machine. Bremen makes 'em, or rather the Holland Radiator company makes the fixins which will warm anything placed in touch with them. This Radiator company is an extensive manufacturing concern and employs 140 hands. The writer regrets his inability to meet any of the officials of this company, but from appearances the plant is a very substantial affair. Its products go all over the world where steam, hot water or hot air heating appliances are needed or used. If this, enterprising concern could only produce some contrivance for warming its Radiators independent of the coal barons their manufactory would have a world wide fame in fifteen minutes and the name

of Bremen, Ind., U. S. A., be written in letters of gold on the door lintels

of the land.

Talk about millinery stock! Mrs.

C. Listenberger has a store room full of it. When one enters her store

there are hats and bonnets on the right, the same in front, and more hats and bonnets to the left of you. Mrs. Listenberger has been engaged

in the millinery trade at Bremen

since 1869, and is now supplying wed-

ding millinery to the daughter of the

girls are furnished with the same

necessaries years ago. She is a Bremen lady through and through and

considers it one of the best business and home places on the map.

The Bremen Enquirer is the paper

of the town, and Charles Scott, its editor and publisher, gives the read-

ers and patrons of his paper a publica-

tion that would do credit to a much

larger place than Bremen. The

Tribune wishes the Enquirer and its

owner all kinds of financial and social success.

Twenty years ago J ohn Huff engag

ed in the furniture, and undertaking

business in Bremen.ia a;modest way, but today he has as complete a stock In those two lines as can be found in Marshall countyy and Mr. rHuff enjoys a large trade.-, ;t s r ' . . , w ,

Yockey took a vacation in 1890 and

ran for county recorder, but, being a minority party candidate, he won only the experience. Anyway, C. C. is genial and jolly and no political sore spots can be found about him. He has a nice jewelry stock, and the long distance Bell telephone central is, located in his store. W. F. Schilt is proprietor of the

Roller mills,. and the "White Rose," the favorite brand of flour from this

mill, enjoys a large sale in all neigh

boring markets. This mill also buys

and ships all . kinds of grains. Mrs. Joe Balsley is the pioneer milliner and dressmaker. At this time,

however, Mrs. B. only worries about

keeping the ladies of Bremen supplied with new and fashionable gowns. She

contemplates again engaging in the millinery trade, but is not just sure

about It as yet.

Nathan Vehon is proprietor of the

Bremen overalls, mens' shirts and

MORTUARY

Sylvester M. Wiltfon.

Sylvester M., son of Noah and Elizabeth Wiltfong, was born in Laporte county, Ind., June 6, 1857, died at his home in North township, Feb. 11, 1903, aged 45 years, 8 months and 5 days. He was a,sufferer from childhood. and as he advanced in years his suffering increased until during the last few years he became at times almost helpless, but at all times his courage, fortitude and patience were an example to all. It can truthfully be said of him that he never had an enemy. Every one was his friend. His chief pleasure, he found in the society of little children. The children all loved him and always found in him a willing companion ready to enter into all their childish pleasures whenever his health would permit. An event to which he always looked forward with much pleasure was the home-coming of the other members of the family. Frequently the first to welcome them, and always the last to bid them an affectionate good bye and tell them to come back again. He was converted, baptized and received into the Brethren church at the age of eighteen. His public confession, and his simple child-like faith were beautiful to witness. He always enjoyed the services of the church so long as he was able to attend, and was a faithful member until death. If he sinned, and who of us have not, it can truthfully be said of him what can be said of few of us, that he did the best he knew. Forty years of suffering. Whose but a mother's love and sympathy could be sufficient for such an ordeal. A father's dying wish and a mother's earnest prayer that their poor afflicted child might be laid to rest while one parent yet remained has been granted and the poor pain-

racked body is at rest. The spirit has taken its flight, and who can say but that his shall be one of the brightest

stars in the firmament of God.

The funeral services were held at

the Fairmount church at two o'clock,

Thursday afternoon. Rev. Wm. Sum-

mers, of North Manchester, officiating.

The family will ever hold in grateful remembrance their kind friends of Plymouth who contributed the beauti

ful floral offering, as well as the friends

and neighbors whoso kindly assisted

them in the last sad rites. S. S.

LOU'S OWN FAULT

He Was So Busy Moving Real Estate That the Tribune Man Has to Speak From Observation.

Lou Bose, the real estate dealer and money loaner of Argos, was not intentionally overlooked in the Tribune business writeup of Argos, but Lou was so busy that the paper's representative could not catch Mr. Bose In his office. "Lou Bose" is known far

and wide in the vicinity of Argos as a safe, careful, real estate man and money lender of Argos. He conducts a business along the above lines that meets with the approval of everyone who comes in touch with his real estate agency. The Tribune is always the best.

A Birthday Party. Tuesday being Mrs. H. A, Brenner's birthday a number of her neighbors and friends were invited in for the afternoon to a quilting. Lunch was served at 6 o'clock all having a good time departed for home wishing her many happy returns of the event.

"Bargains in Dakota Lands," From February 16 to the 21st, 1903, I will have at my office, in Plymouth, a real estate agent from the famous Red River Valley, in North Dakota, who will have a fine line of samples of spring wheat, oats, barley, broom corn, millet, broom grass and buffalo grass, grown in that country, and he will offer good bargains in real estate in the Red River Valley. Call at my office and see him and his samples, and listen to his bargains. 104t6 19t2 J. D. McLaren.
