TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bissell Building, corner Ltporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., July 4, 1907. Metsker makes a personal attack upon the publisher of this paper in order to divert public attention from tht real issue. We will take care of the Honorable (?) gent?emcn in proper time as Metsker knows; well that we are able and competent to do. For the present we will only say that a man) twice convicted in justice courts, two , true; indictments found by a grand' jury composed of six staunch Democrats (the parly Musket claims .o represent), five or six reputable citizens testifying that Metsker's. "reputation for tri'th and veracity in the' community in which he lives" is bad, is sufficient to discredit any statement Metsker inip.ht make about any one or in regard io any question relating to the interest of the citizens of Plymouth. jt jt tjl And said company agrees that it will at all times clean trim, repair and operate said arcs so that the streets, alleys, thoroughfares and public places where the same are placed will be lighted up to the approximate degree of light on each and every night during the life of this contract, from dusk until eleven (11) o'clock p. m., except that on the night of full moon and two nights before and two nights thereafter said arcs? need be operated only during dark hours. And from and after eleven (11) o'clock p. m. of each and every night said arc hmps shall give the required approximate degree of light according to the Philadelphia Moonlight Schedule; but said Company agrees to furnish such required light on all dark hours up to 13 o'clock, and from and after 5 o'clock p. m. till daylight, of each and all nights during the term of this contract; also at any time a fire alarm is given, for sufficient time to enable firemen am others to attend fires and return home with lighted streets, as well as at the time of any emergency, such as a wreck, riot or protracted disturbance or danger to said city, its property or inhabitants, when given notice thereof by any officer of said city As'ide from Plymouth's mayor, we doubt if any lawyer east of New York can solve the above Chinese puzzle. J Jt Jt A 'FAIR CONTRACT. Plymouth should be able under contract to have all nigM lighting for $70.00 per lamp. The lights that are furnished free at present should con tinue to be so; or if they are to be paid for at 5c per k. w. the street lighting should be reduced to $63 The incandescent rate should be Xc per k w and a flat rate of 50 cents per ligh": per month. A maximum rate of 4 cents per k. w. should be made for power. If this could be agreed upon there might be a possible excuse for the council to consider the light question at this time, but if this cannot be done why not keep wliat . we have as long as we can? It might be argued by Mr. Snoeberger that a flat rate is unfair, that people might burn them during the day in order to "get even.' This is a poor argument but he cart be protected, by giving him the right to discontinue the ser vice to thos who deliberately waste the current the authority he now takes on himself with those who, while their contract gives them the rieht, burn one olr two lights all C9 ' night under the flat rate. jß jß m Speaking of Lemons On May 24, 1902 the Democratic lemon tree contained 33 lemons one fcr each precinct. When they were distributed Metsker got 32 of them the remaining: one was given to Chas. Lemert A few years later, in 104, when delegates to the Demo cratic convention were selected Mets kefr wanted to be a' delegate, but the convention assembled handed him a lemox His unadulterated gall fo! lemid him to Indianapolis where he again tried to force himself on the delegation; again they handed him thai! lemon. When the Democratic Congressional convention met in Plymouth a year ago Metsker wanted to be the presiding officer. He bought a new Prince Albert suit, rehearsed his speech' before a looking glass, and had it set in type for his: paper, but the convention: handed him a lemon Verily Lern Metsker thou art for sakcrr. Dog Sausaga No Longer a Jokeu The old joke about eating "hot dog" is no joke in Germany any more, for no less than 7,000 canines of various' breeds were slaughtered and eaten by the subjects of Kaiser Wilhelm last year, according -o a re port from Consul George' N. Ifft a Annaberg. The eating of horse meat seems to be quite general in Ger manyv for no less than 182,000 horses were slaughtered for human food in 1906. "Horseflesh is generally advertised in the German papers," says Consu Ifft, "especially in those in large in dustrial centers, . and most German cities have at least one market which makes it a specialty, claiming for it a higher percentage of nourishment than that of beef, veal, mutton or pork. Neither isl it unusual to find 'advertisements of dog meat or for the purchase of dogs for4 slaughter. In the city of Cassel recently the police, in searching for a lost dog, discovered it in a private slaughter pnf discovered a private slaughter house and arrested the proprietors, who were apparently making a regular business of stealing and killing dogs." In the city of Chemnitz alone, Cn. siil Ifft reports G93 dogs were sheltered for human food in 190G, this be. ing art increase of 88 over the pievious year.

Build Military Road) to Yukon. An important work is being carried on by the dominion government in the Canadian northwest concerning which people in general know little. This is the building of a military

road from Edmonton, Alberta, to the Yukon territory. For two years the construcl;ort has been under way in charge c the royal northwest mounted policeFrom Edmonton the 'road stretches 700 miles away to Fort St. Join, on thf Peace river, and then takes an almost direct course over the Rocky mountains for 200 miles to Fort Graham, in British Columbia, and thence in a northwesterly direction or 700 miles more to Atlin. This Ion? rail of 1,G00 miles lies through a re gion but little civilized, and where nature at times 'opposes her sternest barriers. It is not a wide road, only eight feet. At regular intervals of twenty miles small, rude log houses ae erected as halting places. The principal work so far his been from the eastern side of the Rckv mountains, lhe construction parry, under the command of Capt. Camies, ast fall reached Fort Graham, whr e they wintered. Another party ot workmen under Inspector McDoniU of Whitchorse this summer will push the work from Atlin until the two orces meet, which they hope to do before winter. The two front doors to the Klon dike now lie in the United States ter ritory of Alaska, one opening in from Skagway by means of the White Pas? and Yukon railway, the other farther north ,the estuary of the Yukon river and St. Michael. Should international difficulties arise between England and the United States the Yukon territory would be cut off. The military roal s intended to prevent such a catasrophe. Elaborat Plans for Pythian Dedica tion at Indianapolis. Arrangements are now being com pleted at Indianapolis for the dedi cation of the new Indiana Pythian building, at Massachussetis avenue and Pennsylvania street, Aug. 12 to 17. Members of the uniform rank, K. of P. of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky have been in vited to attend. It is believed . lv.it there will be between 3,000 and 3.ÖO0 men in the camp of the uniform rank, who will take part in the parade on Wednesday, August 14. Major jen erat A. E. Stobbart, of St. Paul, in command of the military branch, will be present with his entire staff Bri adier General Merrill E. Wilson will be in command of the uniform rank of this state. There will be a reception and a sort of house-opening at tie new building Monday, August 12. Tues day afternoon and evening Iola team, of Dayton, O., will give an exempli fication of the degree work. Th" new building will be dedicated Wednes day and there will be a big parade The Oregon team, of Dayton, O. v;ll give an exemplification of degr. c work Thursday. On Friday and on other days through the week there will be prize drills of various -ms In romnetition for a number of prizes. It is believed that the dedication will attract thousands of member of the Knights of Pythias to Indiana olii. t All of the -details of the pro gram, have not yet been completed Various lodges throughout the -tafe have sent invitations to members who are now residing in other states to come to Indianapolis and make a sort of "home coming" affair .of the dedication. Fair Lading Bill Won by Shippers, A binding agreement between ship pers and the railroads, the dream of American commerce, in the form of a uniform bill of lading, practically has been agreed upon. Representatives of commercial interests and all the trunk lines of the country have set tled upon the form of the new bill and the interstate commerce commis sion has concurred. It will be sub mitted for the ratification of the railroad and commercial interests of the country early in July. The effect of the notification wil be to make the new bill of lading a part of the interstate commerce law The shippers then will have the thing for which they have clambored for the last decade a railroad receipt binding on the carriers. The negotia tions have been thus far carried on by railroad representatives and mem bers of the board of directors of the Illinois .Manufacturers', association and the American Shippers' associa tion. The new bill will hold the initia road and its connections liable for shipment from the time it is deliver ed to the company until it is delivered to the consignee at its destination. Negro to Gain Freedom by Risking Hid Lifev Several months ago the pulley on the very top of the flagstaff which surmounts the coiurthouse tower at Richmond, Ind., became broken and the flag could not be displayed. Ef forts to persuade local men to climb the slender staff, which is thirty feet high and less than four inches in di ameter at the base were unavailing, Thursday Lon Fisher, a negro im prisoned in the jiil for intoxication sent word to the .ommissiomers tha he would climb the pole and put on the new pulley if the commissioners would give him his freedom. Fisher was told that pardons could not be given except by the Governor, but it was agreed that if Fisher did the work he should have $10, a sum sufficient to pay his fine and give him freedblm. Fisher will be taken to the courthouse and will make an effort to mount the staff, which is 159 fee above the street level. If Fisher is not game, let the Rich mon'd officials come to Plymouth and rive one of our high school classes r emission to fly their colors on said polo. We believe; the pulley would get there somehow.

More Light on the "Light

The Independent assumes to voice the sentiments of the people and tax payers of this city, when it asserts that because the Tribune has opposed the granting of the Snoeberger franhise and has in doing so told some ruths that do not sound well to some of the councilmanic body (the pet phrase used by Metsker in speaking of the common council) that the seniment of the taxpayers has turned to the proposed franchise favorably. In the first place the Independent gnores the potent fact that 124 of the very best citizens and! taxpayers of this city have on file with this councilmanic body a solemn protest against any consideration of the fran chise at this time, nearly three years rom the expiration of the old one. and in the second place it must b remembered by the public that the ndepen'dent is always on the side that is inimical to the best interests of the general public Before the present franchise ex pires every member of the prefent "councilmanic body" will be retired rom that body as their respective erms of office will have expired, and while we do not contend tha they ought to wait until the franchise ex pires yet we do say that the question of the city's ownership oughc to be well considered before any thought s given to "giving away" a vi'.able right and privilege for a period of 1) years or even a less period of time. The time was when a franchise to a quasi-public enterprise might have een granted with propriety, tfut when as in this city it has been dem onstrated that municipal ownership payst a set of members of the "councilmanic body" that lays awake of nights pondering: as how best to give away the right of. the people to control their own business, gives rise at east to the query why are they so anxious r The water works plant,of this city, counting a fair price for each fire hydrant, and that usually paid to a pri-1 vate water company for such hydrants, has paid for a number of y ars and brought handsome return, not only on the. original investment, but also on all repairs, extensions, and renewing of wooden pipes by iron pipes. - Only a short time ago in the report of the superintendent ;of the water works was it shown that the rentals are now paying all running expenses, leaving the fire hydrants as a return on the investment and this yielded a G per cent return on over $30,000 of an investment which is perhaps $15,000 more than is actually invested. The only objection that can reason ably be ufged at this time against municipal ownership of our electric light business is that the city has not the money. This objection is without merit when' it is' well knowi that the city has the right to take stock in an electric light company. in fact become the principal owner of the common stock and that by virtue of a law on the subject passed in 1Ö05 this privilege is expressly granted to a city. The company could! issue preferred stock bearing a fair interest and the city as principal stockholder would be in virtual control from the start and could retire the preferred stock from the earn ings in a very few years; in fact the $3000 now paid for the city's streel lights would in connection with the water works plant pay the addition al expense of running an electric light plant. This paper has not opposed the granting of a franchise on a person al ground as was intimated in Mets ker's paper. It opposes it because ; is1 not to the interest of the citizens and taxpayers; but it will say that the council is not making Mr. Snoe berger live up to his present fran chise and yet are seriously consider ing giving him additional rights and Privilegs. He has . ever since he be came owner of the plant charged users by the killowat measurement when his contract and former fran chise gives him no such right, but provides that it shall be measured at 1-2 cent per hour per light (incandes cent) yet every home and business house in the city has had its light measured on the kiüowat scale, a ten per cent difference in favor of the company. And for a long time he had no bond on file as required by his' franchise, and we wonder wheth er he now has We oppose the franchise because it is giving a right and privilege that is worth thousands of dollars for practically nothing, except a delusive reduction on a few municipal lights. The councilmanic body can over ride the will of the people; some of them are inclined to do so; and one has? determined to do so at all hazards, what his reason is may never found out but he seems to be so firmly resolved that no matter what happens he will vote for "Snoey. Fasts 30 Days; Feels Better. Dr. I. J. Eales of Belleville, whose experiment in dietary reform by ab staining from food thirty days has! aroused widespread attention, com pleted his self-imposed task at noon Sunday. On the stroke of 12 he broke his fast for the first time in a month by partaking of a Rias of malted milk. To show that he had retained his strength he lifted a mvi vho weich ed 242 pounds, sustaining the weight for several seconds. Dr. Eales weighed 104 pounds at noon. When he began his fa.-t.

Electric Light Ownership.

Editor Tribune: The above named subject being uppermost in the minds of those citizens who take part in such matters, and several having expressed an opinion through your columns. I desire space for a word on this matter so closely concerning us all. My first question is one that has been asked through your paper before, viz: if a private individual can do well by operating this public enterprise, why cannot the public through its agents, the councilmen, do likewise, or at any rate save much of the present expense. I asked experienced engineers if the water works plant and) lighting plant could not be combined, and operated by 'one set of machinery and men at a minimum cost, and they say it can and one fire made to operate both plants. We are paying Mr. Snoeberger at this time $70 per street light and there is about fifty of them, or about $300 per month for street lights alone, besides the incandescent lights over the city. However let me say right here that there is no fight whatever against Mr. Snoeberger . personally, but against the city council granting him the franchise he desires. The city council seems to have gone crazy and though they are simply the city's chosen mediators, they seem to have lost sight of the fact entirely and to have concluded they arc the city itself, body and breeches, or to have concluded to. say like one G. Cleveland "the public be damned." In a conversation with one of the councilmen at large Thursday he tried to explain to me that for the city to op erate its own plant wa an uphill matter, because it . was practically an impossibility to find a competent, worthy man for the place; that to run the lighting plant would require an experienced electrician or have some inexperienced man. burn out a dynamo occasionally, worth five or six hundred dollars. Well the plant has been running fifteen years or more and up to date no dynamos have been burned out, besides that $3500 per year for street lights would replace several burned out dynamos and pay an electrician besides. He said they had received letters from several cities admonishing them not to take control of the' lighting plant if they wanted anj peace of mini during the balance of their term of office. Well I can assure them they will get a piece of several good citi zens' mind if they don't take control of the lighting plant, or give u:; at least a fair chance in the franchise granted, besides, I believe a man chat will stand up and say not honest man can be found to run such a plant, needs watching himself or to be tap ped for the simples-, or both. In reply to the question why they were hurrying this franchise along now when the present franchise runs to Feb. 16, 1910 he said, "some Chicago: parties want a day current." There is a point on which I hail from Missouri. ' We make bold to say th. man who wrote' that letter did: it -at the instigation of interested parties for a purpose. Why any newspaper will defend the action of the council at this time seems strange, but is net a surprise. ' Now my fellow cuiens in closing, I desire to admonish you to bestir yourselves to do what you can ta thwart the present intentions of the majority of the council, and save our city thousands - of dollars in taxation in theüO years in advance. Remember we have neighboring cities that are paying $50 pc light whilr we pay $70 and other like eco nomical points can be reserved to ourselves if we but take hold aright of the matter now before us. Who today would sanction the sale of our water works, that is not only paying its own way put making money for the city. Then why not the city own all its own plants and couple this two together for running, that ex penses may be reduced to the mimmum and the city reap a revenue from boith. This is not all on paper, but facts that are deduced by a little common sense reasoning. Don't set back until it is too late and then kick but let us put our shoulders to the wheel and all push together for the best interests of our city. Citizen. Government to Fight for Inheritance Tax. A special attorney will be sent to Milwaukee lrom Washington to as sist District Attorney Butterfield in trying the case of the Wells estate, in which suit was brought by the government against the trustees o" the estate for nearly a half-million dollars inheritance tax. This is to be made a test1 case and on the is sue hangs a matter of $7,000,000 claimed by the government oin estates throughout the country. The trustees f led their answer to the suit Monday. In his the most interesting statement U their denial that Fanny Wells iNorris was or is as stranger in blood to the late Daniel Wells." Should the contention set up in the answer of the trustees be established it would mean a much less inheritance tax to be paid. The trustees further deny that they are any longer trustees of the estate, claiming to have been discharged by the County Court n 190G. It' is expected that the case will come up in October. Aimed at Loan Sharks. Loan Sharks wohild be hard hit if a bill introduced in the house by Representative Wm. Fruechtenicht of Fort Wayne, should become a law. The bll levies an annual tax of $5,000 on all persons engaged in the busines of buying or procuring .assignments or transfers of wages not earned or not due ,and payable at the time of transfer. "This would put the loan sharks out of business," Mr. Freuchtenicht saio "as nane of them would be able to met this tax. The measure may be stringent, but my single purpose in introducing it is to create some way of doing away with the Joan shat-Vs for all time."

The two-cent railroad rate rryikes quite a difference in makir.g change at the local ticket offices of the railroads. The even change is .a thing of the past. Tickets to nearly all the stations require odd change and the agents fupply themselves at the banks almost daily with a stock ot pennies. Agent Bussard says it requires about $15 every week in pennies to supply his office and he jought $20 worth this week. Nearly all the stations between Terre Haute and South Hend require odd change. To Lapaz it takes 4 cents, to Lakeville 4, to South Bend 4, Twin Lakes 2, Hibbard 4, Culver 3, Delong 3, Logansport 2, Frankfort 3. On the La,ke Erie road every staion between Indianapolis and Michi gan City makes odd change and Agent Marcombe uses about $2 in cents daily. On the Pennsylvania road there are in the state but three stations east of here where the fare is even cha'nge. To Inwood it takes 3 odd cents, to Bourbon 3; to Donaldson 1, Grovertown 3, Hamlet 2, Wanatah 3. Agent Hanes buys cents in $5 lots. "What becomes of these pennies do they come back?" was asked Agent Bussard. "No not many come back; they go out over the country. Traveling men," said he,"have caught on, and they make the right change if they can, as they do not want to be loaded up with coppers; but the general traveler will hand you out a half or a dollar or a bin. In buying a round trip they nearly always hand out even money, though they may have the right change in their hand, because, buying in haste, they do not trust themselves to make the right change." Where it is odd for single it is also odd for the round trip, as the round i just double the single', there be;ng no reduction. ays $3,600 for a Dollar; One of 6 Coined in 1804. , A single United States silver dol lar of the coinage, of 1804 brought $3)00 at Philadelphia Wednesday at the sale of the collection of the late M. A. Stickney, the best price during the sale except $G,200, which a dealer paid for a famous Brasher' s- NewYork doubloon, the face value of which is only $16. There are but six specimens of the 1804 'dollar known to be extant, one of which is row at the mint in Philadelphia. Fuckney received the rare coin on May 9, 1843, from the local mint in exchange for othvr coin. It weighs a trifle less than 415 grains, and, having been kept in a chamois bag, it is extremely fine and brilliant. Before it changed hands again at the end of sixty-four years dealers and collectors vied with each other in raising its value with their spirited bidding. Mr. Chapman, who finally carried it off, opened the bidding with $1000. His competitors run the price up in jumps of $250 at a time, until the price had soared to $3,000. Then Mr. Chapman's bid of $3,G00 got the treasure. Equally interesting was the bidding for an $1815 United States halfeagle, which was finally captured by S. H. Chapman for $2,000. This coin is of great rarity, there being only six ex tant. For Mciomineo Monument. Governor Hanly named the three members of the commission Wednes day to spend $2,500, appropriated by the last General Assembly, for suitable ground at Menominee Village. Marshall county, for the erection ol a monument and the rebuilding of the old Indian chüpel there. They are Charles T. Mattingly, Republican, Plymouth; Col. A. F. Fleet, Democrat Culver, and Charles J. S. Kunv ler, Peru. The meimbers of the Andersonvillc monument commission, chosen under authority of a 1907 act to erect a monument at Andersonvillc, Ga., in honor of the Indiana soldiers who died there, met with Governor Hanly Monday afternoon. They had just come from a visit to Andersonville and reported to the Governor that they had chosen a site for the monument. They recommended that it be built of granite. The amount appropriated was $7,500. ' Death of Miss Ella DeLoney.

) ) Special Showing Death of Keim Brooke; Keim K. Brooke one of the best known men in Marshall" county, died at his home last night at the age of 72 years. For the past two years he had been an invalid and of late there had been a decline, so that by his relatives and friends his demise was not unexpected. ' Mr. Brooke was born May 12, 1835, at Lavrenceville, Chester county, Pa. lie enjoyed a liberal, education during his boyhood, and in 1852 came o Plymouth with his mother, his elder brother having previously settled here. Some time after his arrival here, he accepted a position as clerk in a drug store at Laporte, and afterward occupied a similar position at Indianapolis. Subsequently, 'he returned to Plymouth and! began the erection of a building in this city, intending fo engage in' the drug trade. He had scarcely completed this building, however, when it was destroyed by fire. He opened his store in another building, and -was engaged in the drug trade for about two years. He then sold his' establishment, and was afterwards engaged as agent for the United States express company at Plymouth. In 1871 he was appointed deputy auditor under H. C. Burlingame, and for eight years- served faithfully in that capacity. In 187 he became a candidate for auditor of Marshall county on the Democratic ticket, and his merits were recognized at the poUs by the citizens, who elected him by a handsome majority. He assumed the duties. of his new position in 1879, and proved a faithful ami efficient officer kind and courteous to all alike, "and ever willing to accommodate all whose business lec' them into his office. His nobility of character gained .him, many warm, personal friends, and among all who knew him he was- recognized as a true gentleman and a, worthy citizen. He was a, man of public spirit, and a friend of all enterprises designed for the welfare or improvement of hi county or city. He was a member of the Methodist church and of the Masonic lodge of Plymouth. On the 16rti of May 1858 he was united in marriage with Miss Margaret H., daughter of William M. and Mary Patterson, of Plymouth. The funeral was held Sunday at 1 o'clock. Italian Laborers OrganUt. Much concern is felt by the New Vork Central and other railroads over a movement for the organization of Italian- laborers throughout the country, to be followed by a general 6trikc for increased pat On several roads the strikes have' begun and improvement work is being delayed. On the New York Central 500 Italian have been on strike for several days, 300 have quit on the Long Island Road and trouble is brewing on the Nefw York, New Havew and Hartford. On the New York Central the men have t een receiving; $1.60 a day for ten hours' work ,and the demand $2. For several weeks an Italian "national oragnizer" ha5' been working among them and he is said to have the laborers well organized, both in the east1 an'd on western roads. Card of Thanks.

Would Deprive Negroes of Vote;' In his inaugural address, delivered Saturday at Atlanta, Ga., Governorelect Hoke Smith spoke out plainly on some of the big problems now confronting he Soluth. He openly advocated the disfranchisement of negroes, through applying educational tests and) declared his determination to prevent lynchings or mob violence in Georgia during his administration. In view of the recent mention of Governor Smith as a possible candidate for vice-president on the Democratic ticket, some of his utterances are of special significance. After stating that the platform on which he was elected entailed on him special duties which he will perform, he declared against allowing lobbying by agents, of corporations, urged the abolition of railroad passes inside the state ankf declared! that it should be, made a crime for any corporation or special interest to contribute to a campaign fund. He suggested the widest publicity of election receipts and expenditures. He then urged a constitutional amendment fixing a new standard of franchise qualifications. Court News.
