Two beet-sugar factories in Wiscon sin will turn out a product this year of $1,200,000, or double the output of last year.

Hezekiah Summers, a farmer living near LapeJ, whipped his eleven-year-old daughter with a buggy whip until she was unconscious, and the best the justice of the peace could do for him was a $25 tine. There are times when the latter-day citizen longs for the return of the whippingpost and the stocks. Veterans of the civil war well remembered last Friday as tbe day the eventful battle of the Wilderness took place, its dreadful carnage and its doubtful Issue. TheSpottsylvania fight took place jiy a few davs later in the month. Besides these gigantic struggles, even tbe "immense land battles" in the far east look insignifha it. The short, plump girl read an alluring advertisement of how to grow tall. She measured four feet six and her ruling desire was to be stretched, out to six feet.

There's a new buffalo at the Cincinnati Zoo, a tiny baby born a few days ago.

For a namof years tbe herd has been very profitable, as the old and young bring fancy prices. Several fine brick business buildings will be erected in Plymouth this season.

Fred Snyder, Clem Fox and Miss

Stella Farnan, who attended tbe cele oration of the 35th wedding anniver sary of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hanes, returned to Fort Wayne last Thursday. T. J. Martin, formerly of Nappanee, bas been arrested at Elkhart for sen ding an obscene letter to his wife at Plymouth, from whom he had separ ated. He is now in jail at Indianap olis, awaiting trial in the federal court, Unless something unforseen hap pens to the fruit crop between now and the harvest, there will be an abundance of nearly all kinds of fruit, with the possible exception of straw berries. There will be a large crop of peaches. Several back loads of Plymouth peo ple went to Bremen Wednesday and Thursday to attend thecouity Sunday school convention. A large number of the Plymouth high school weie among those who went up Wednesday evening. 0 A St. Louis judge has decided that tbe young woman's father bas a right to go downstairs after 11 o'clock and interrupt. the proceedings, either by force or otherwise.

Were you ever a boy, and if so, did you ever stir up a hornet's nest with a long pole? If you have, it seems that tbe feelings of the Russians at the present date are very similar to yours about a minute after you per formed the pole act. Mrs. Elizabeth Gould, widow of the late Judge Albert Gould, of Knox, died last Friday at Mt. Clemens. The remains were cremated at Fort Wayne The deceased left $1000 each to Mrs. Bickcl, of Bristol, and Mrs. Arch, of Nappanee, surviving sisters. It is reported that Curtis, of Argos, thinks he will get the nomination for prosecuting attorney on the democratic ticket, John Wolford and Andy Molter think differently and Wolford is supposed to do the thinking for the democratic majority in Marshall CDunty. The gamblers and saloon-keepers of nammond succeeded in punishing Armanis F. Kcotts, defeating him for re-election by 25 votes. But Mayor Knotts gave Hammond a clean and honest administration, and, having bad a taste of good government, the city will return to it in time. St. Joseph county sends a solid antiHearst delegation to Indianapolis and Elkhart county will probably do the same thing. Some of the conserva tives up there say they will vote for Peter J. Kruyer as a delegate to the national convention if he will promise to ride in the anti-Hearst wagon. All of the people of Plymouth are, or should be, interested In good local government. The happiness and prosperity of the people depend largely upoa a proper administration of the city government. We hope each member of the new city council will consider It his duty and his highest ambition to conscientiously advance tbe cause of good government. Last Wednssday was tbe 35tt anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J 4 E. Hanes and the event was celebrated by a family reunion. Relatives from Fort Wayne and other points were here and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon and evening. Mr. and Mrs. Hanes and family are among the best people in Plymouth and it Is the wish of everybody that they may live to celebrate their golden wedding.' The democratic state committee has let the contract for decorating Tomlinson ball for their state convention to W. Reisinger, who decorated the hall for the republican state convention. Considerable speculation is being indulged in as to- the pictures tbat the democrats will have on tbe walls of the convention hall, and it is reported that only pictures of Indiana democrats, living and dead, will be in evidence. Tbe democratic marshal of Laporte thinks the saloons were the cause of his light vote last Tuesday and he is going after them in great shape. The motives of revenge prompting him to run the gambling houses and immoral resorts out of town and compel strict compliance with the Nicholson law may not be the highest In .the world, but, If he will just stick to his knitting, the people or Laporte, may have a clean city for a year or two, and this would not be a half bad experience for them. ; ? ' Among the recent Babylonian dis-. coveries is a set of tablets on which are engraved tbe liquor licensing laws of King Khammurabi, who reigned about 250 B. C. It is provided that delinquents In license payments "shall be thrown into tue river," and if he "permits riotous, drunken conduct" in the establishment he shall be put to death."

Lora Capron and Charley Crawford brought home a six pound bass from Twin Lake Friday which the boys say they caught in a wire fence. Let the Bremen fisherman beat that if they can. The baby elephant of the Wallace circus had to be taken back to tbe farm instead of being allowed to accompany the show, because of the obstreperous temper displayed by the older pachyderms against the little one. A stampede and serious trouble was averted only by the decision of the keepers to leave the baby at home. In the World's Work for May, Marie Adele Shaw, a noted .writer 00 peda gogy, says the Indiana schools are the best in the United States. Miss Shaw has spent months traveling and inspectlng tha schools of different states.

Ave.t Chicago, til. Workman's Awiui Death. Making a misstep while walking on the edge of a vat of boiling metal Thursday, Hainey Anderson an employe or the Illinois Steel Company at South Chicago slipped and fell, He cIuhk for his life to the edge of tbe vat while his feet burned off. Then his strength gene, he slipped, with a shriek, into the seething mass below In a few minutes bis bod7 was literally consumed. One uf his fellow-workmen fainted with horror at the spectacle. - Opposed to Civil Pensions. When a man serves a private corporation at fair wages he is supposed to lay aside a little of bis money against the rainy day, If he retains his vigor in age he is not discharged. In our easier government service the dangerous theory is advanced that when a cleric reaches tbe age of sixty or seventy he should be retired, to make room for some other favored son, and that his wages should still be paid to him. This argues that he Deed save nothing while he holds his place, a contention that would be demoralizing both to him and to the nation. We own to seeing little in this civil pension scheme but a grab for unearned , money. Brooklyn Eagle. . Big Fire at Etna Green. Wright's livery barn at Etna Green was burned to the ground Fridaynight. It stood between tbe Maccabee ball and Anglin 's mill and warehouse. The hall and warehouse were both badly damaged. The Maccabee hall being a tall brick building prevented the fire from extending in that direction snd saved tbe towu from heavy loss. The horses and mo&t of the vehicles in the barn were saved. The fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. A Prevuhng Fad. A short time ago it was reported that the wealthy Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, was ill unto death, and now comes the news ttat he is abouU to sail for France to marrj his ward a beautiful Canadian girl, whom be. has been educating abroad.
