Plymouth, Ind., July 18, 1907.

Snoey and Metsy (the litter was never caught telling the truth in his life) say that Franklin, Indiana made a new contract for lighting at an increased price. Note what the letter to Smocberger says : "We are just securing our new contract." The letter also states that Franklin is to have 2000 candle power light;, while the Plymouth lights are below 1600 and frequently as low as 1200. As to coal Metsker gives himself dead away and is not below his already established record for "truth and veracity." Any child with a grain of common sense knows that Plymouth, Indiana is nearer the Pittsburg coal fields than Franklin and it could not possibly be true that Pittsburg coal at Franklin, Ind., can be delivered for $1.00 per ton less than in Plymouth. Why did Metsker lie about it? 'Cause why ? 9 J Jß Vice-President Jim. The Vice President of the Novelty Mfg. company has spoken out in meetin'. He says the reason the company installed an incandescent dynamo was because "they could not get day current." The vice president says this is another case of "his reputation for truth and veracity in the community in which he lives is bad." The dynamo was installed to save the enormous expense of 10 cents per k. w.

Now let's see about the cost of

power for running the Novelty

Manufacturing company by elec

tricity. We are informed their

steam engine is 144 horse power, multiplied hy 74G the number of

watts to the horsepower, we have

107,424 watts or 107.424 kilowatts; at 4 cents per k. w. pec

hour (the lowest price expected for power) we have about $4.29 per hjur or $42.90 per day of ten hours. We doubt very much if "even the vice president of the Plymouth Novelty Manufacturing Company could afford it. A Word. Pursuant to a call for a mass meeting to be held at the city hall Monday evening, a large representation of the citizens met. Men

of sober thought-and judgment

expresed themselves and the one sentiment prevailed: "To grant no electric light franchise for at

least 18 months. The common

council repeatedly stated that

they would be governed by the

will of the majority. As there can be no question as to the sen

timent we believe that the coun

cil will do just as they have

agreed to do and will drop the

entire matter until Jr.nuary 1909

As to Mr. Snoeberger if he will

meet the people of Plymouth half way, do the'very best he can and instead of trying to buy public

sentiment at 10 cents per line, cultivate it by fair and square

dealing with the public then

when it comes to granting a new francise (if municipal ownership

be utterly impossible), he will

have no trouble in securing a new

franchise at the proper time. Koreans in a Panic.

A panic prevails in the palace

at Seoul, Korea. Koreans are greatly alarmed over the reports

of agitation in Japan for the de

thronement of their emperor and the emperor himself is greatly

depressed. Japanese base their demands on the part the emperor

played in sending to the Hague

peace conference the delegation

which has been refused seats Marquis Ito, the Japanese governor, has been appealed to con

stantly for some indication of the Japanese policy, but has declined to relieve the fears of Koreans, saying the Tokio government

must decide.

A message from the Hague says: "We Koreans wilj never submit. We will fight to the end." In these words Prince Yi,

head o: the Korean delegation

which has been refused admittance to the peace conference, answered a report tha: T-ip.tn is preparing to depose the Korean emperor and annex Korea. "Japan evidently is preparing for another crime to be added to those already perpetrated on Korea." The prince added. "That does not surprise us. We knew it before we started. That's why we are here. We imagined we would find justice. "Speaking as a member of the imperial family, I affirm we will fight to the end. Korea is not a Japanese colony and the treaty of 1904 guaranteed the independence of Korea. If Japan annexes Korea, we will try to rally the people and fight to the last drop of our blood. "By boycotting all Japanese manufacaures, we have a very powerful weapon. There are 20,000,000 Koreans and if Japan does not get money from us where is she going to get it? Nowhere. We will ruin Japan in ten years. Korea has existed for 4,000 years and the Yi dynasty has ruled for 500 years. We will not go under the control of the Japanese. They cannot butcher 20,-

000,000 people.

Pick State Team for U. S. Shoot.

The regimental team shoots

were finished Monday and dusters among the riflemen in camp arc busy picking the state team

to represent; Indiana in the Na

tional shoo: at Camp Perry, O.,

on Aug. 26. There were tliirty-

six men in the regimental team shoots and out of this number a team of twelve is picked, with three alternates and three officers, for Indiana's representation at the National shoot.

Among the riflemen in camp,

the following men are said to be "sure things" for a team position :

Lieüt. Adolph Kruse, First regiment, Vincennes; Basil Middle-

ton, battalion adjutant, First Regiment, Connersville ; Second

Lieutenant, L. J. Morgan, Com

pany D, Second Regiment, Indianapolis; Lieut. Herbert Mc-

Bride, Company D, Second Regiment, Indianapolis; Sergt. G. W.

Bailey, Company D, Second Reg

iment, Indianapolis; Private L.

B. Jarrett, Company D, Second

Regiment, Indianapolis; Private W. C. Mylntyre, Company D,

Second Regiment, and Quarter

master Gordon, Company D, Sec

ond Regiment, Indianapolis. Albert Catlin, battalion adjutant.

First Regiment, Terre Haute, is

also mentioned as a probable

member of the state team.

The Company D men in the

shoots have made the best show

ing for their regiment and company of any of the competitors.

Company D is made up of Indianapolis men, who have had

the advantage of several days of preliminary practice upon the range.

Governor Hanly arrived on the range Monday- morning in time to see the skirmish firing, which is the most interesting of the events of the shoot. Skirmish firing is so named because prone and kneeling dummy human figures are made the marks. Tlie firing begins at G00 yards; two shots arc allowed the riflemen at that range, both shots to be fired within thirty seconds of one another. Two shots are allowed under the same conditions at 500 yards, three shots at 400, three at 350, five at 300 yards and five shots at 200 yards. The shots at 200 yards must be fired within twenty seconds of each other. By this schedule each man is allowed twenty shots, and only the lnts score' Lieut. McBride of Company D, in the skirmish firing, made a score of 197 out of a possible 250. After the shoot Governor Hanly, with Maj. Gen. McKee and Brig. Gen. Powell, went out on the range and inspected the dummies.

Two More Spies at San Öiego. It is learned from a trustworthy source that in addition to the Japanese detected in making sketches at Fort Rosecranz a few days ago another has been arrested in the fort for having a blue print of the works in his posession. This latter Japanese was employed as a servant at the fort. He is a man of superior attainments. In his room was found a standard work on enginering. The blue print was well drawn and showed much technical skill but was not quite completed. Major Gatchellstill positively refuses to admit or deny that Japanese have been detected in spying on the fort but from others in a position to know the facts the report is confirmed. The orders of the war depart

ment are very strict respecting the admission of persons to visit the coast and lake defenses, and it is provided that neither written nor phtoral descriptions of these works are to be made for publication without the authority of the secretary of war, nor is any information to be given out concerning them nor contained in the printed reports and documents in the war department. Commanding officers at posts at which are located lake or coast defenses are charged with the responsibility of preventing any infraction of this rule. No department at San Diego has received any report to the alleged incidents at San Diego.1

Good Man Taken. The death of Col. I. B. McDonald, of Columbia City, occurred early on Tuesday morning, after an illness of several months. Col. McDonald had gradually been growing weaker every day until

the final summons, and for several days all hope of recovery had been abandoned by relatives and friends. Col. McDonald won distinction during the civil war. Not only was he an efficient officer, but he was brave and courageous. He was a prominent member of the order of Knights Templar and always took an active interest in Us affairs. In Grand Army circles he was best known, and it is said that he attended nearly every one of the annual encampments of the G. A. R. More than twenty v.ears aero he published a

newspaper in Columbia City, but

for several years previous to his death he had withdrawn from the

active affairs of life. He was nearly eighty years of age. The funeral services will be held at Columbia City on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Warsaw Times.

Metsker Voted. "The wise heads in the main sat back and listened and when the time came to vote, they refused to participate. Daily Independent. Anyone can figure that out. METSKER VOTED.

Mr. Dooley Would Like to Be a Great Editor Like Metsker

"I belave, Hennessey, said Mr. Dooley,"that I wild loike to be the editor of a great noospaper, loike the Plimuth Indipindint," said Mr. Dooley. "An' phwat makes ye say that, asked Mr. Henncsy? "Because," said Mr. Dooley, "wan need have so little capital aither in brains or money," said Mr. Dooley; all that ye nade is a ghall blather an' an aire chamber in ycr kraniuin to make a ghreat succiss av' it," said Mr. Dooley." "And what put that in yer moind," said Hennesy. "Because," said Mr. Dooley, "I am a rigalir subscriber to the Plimuth Indipindint, an' I am wan of the few min who enjoy the frindship of the editor of that ghreat paper." "I knew Clay YV. Mitsker from his infancy," said Dooley, "an' he dosent weigh a pound more than on the day of his birth, yet he is the comin' man of Plimuth for all that,'' said Mr. Dooley. "He's comin to his sinses slowly and ghradually, an' he has a long way to go," said Mr. Dooley, reflectively. "Phwat on airth arc ye talking about," asked Hennesey? "Well," said Mr. Dooley, "I will tell yc. Dhown in Plimuth they have bin havin' a ghreat toime about the elictric light franchise." "A man be the name of Snowburger has the town be the heels on an elictric light conthract, and now he is trying to shift his hold and get thim be the neck." "The people, or rather the Council for the people, called a matin' uv of the citizens at the Council Chamber lasht Monday avenin' to get the sintiment of the taxpayers on the subject." "Thin mare Logan, widout being asked to . act as spakcr of tlie matin' rapped for orther." "We have assimbled, said he, to indursc rv'hy thing the Council has done in the pasht, and iv'ry thing it intinds to do in the future for a cintury," says he. "I'll give ye a few pointers," says he, "before we begin," says he. "Fürst, ther'll be no talk of Moocipal ownership tholerated," said he, "the man that attimpts to talk that kind of tommyrot," said he, "will be pitched out the windy," says he. "Nixt, says he, "I'll give ivcry man tin minutes and no longer," says he, "in which to ixpress his satisfaction with the proceedings of the Council," says he. "Let there be no nonsense, says he." By this time, Bill O'Kafe was on his feet." "Is this a citizen's matin' ."says he, "or an assimbly of the Woman's Christian Timperince LTnion," says he, "and who asked ye to preside over this matin' "says he? "Thin Bill Hindricks took Logan be the hand and led him over in the corner be the wather picher, and cautionin' the alderman to kapc quiet durin' the, proccedngs, said :" "Who will yc have gintlemin, for chairman of the matin says he. "Killison, says all prisint, and so it was." - "I thank ye," says Killison," for the ghreat and unixpicted honor of presiding over this matin' " says he. "The object of this matin' " says he, "is hot intircly as me frind Logan has said," said he. "We are not here," says he, "to cast bokays at the mare and Council," says he, "for the frindly intherist they have taken in me frind Snowburger," says he, "but on the conthrary to spake our thoughts freely," says he, "on the subject of the matin', " says lie, "and to ixpriss our dasires fur moonicipal ownership," says, he. "I belave, "says Killison, "that the people are not all fools, at the prisint writin'," says he, "and that they know whin their legs have been pulled from their sockits," says he. "No njan will be limited to tin minutes, or tin seconds," says he, "but ye may spake 'till doom's day, for all I care," says he. "Let the numbers of the Council be sated and comfortable, says he, and the Mare be provided with a good segar," says he. "The matin' being organized, Lape Lauer presinted a risilution against the grantin' of the proposed franchise to Snowburger, and proceeded to diminstrate that moonicipal ownership was feezible and the proper thing." "I have radooced me remarks to writin,' "said Lauer, "because no man can thrust Mitsker to spake the truth about what he says in his paper, said he. "At this remark of Lauer, Killison quietly placed his hand over his pocketbook, and held it there during the balance of the avenin' looking all the toime in the direction of Mitsker." "Whin Lauer was thru, Joe Swindle leaned over the balcony and wanted to know if the proposed franchise wint into iffect at wance, and how much more we wud have to pay for ilictric light under the new than under the prisint franchise." "Hindricks explained to him that the price was tin pur cint more under the new than under the prisint conthract. This seemed to ralieve Swindle, for Joe knew that it was his politikal frinds that wur getting the raise, andnot the dimikrats, who twice dieted him mare of the place." "Thin Jim Deloney rose and spake from the fullness of his heart." "Look at this beautiful whorld," says Jim, "what a phsint place it is to live in," says he, "if it wur not for Mitsk-.-r," says he. "The whorld is all right, says he, but, my Gawd, says he, there sits Mitsker, polutin the very aire we breath," says he. "Is there no way," says he, "of gittin' rid of this pest, says he, "the man that lies both slapin' and wakin', " says hj. "I am for moonicipal ownership," says he, "Mitsker to 'the conthrary notwithstandin', " says he. "Thin there was a shufflin' on the floor from the direction Deloney pointed out. and prisintly a squeaky sound came from the corner. The chairman hiked intintly in the direction, and slowly a tiny head and shoulders arose until it stood full half a head above the seat of the chair. It wor Mitsker addrissing the chair." "Mr. Chairman; and gintlemin of the Council," says he, "Killison and Lauer may be ghreat lawyers, says he, an I think they aire, says he, but they aire not business min," says he. "Naythur of thim, or Ney Stevens, for that matther, iver run an ix-ray machine, a sickle-grinding machine, a scissorgrinding machine or a threshing machine, says he. Whin I am in a tight box, says he, inthe chriminal coort " says he, "I always employ Stevens and Killison to get me out of it. says he, but what do lawyers know about business, says he?" "In business matthers, says he, let business min, loike meself spake, says he. Killison niver built anything in the City, but a riputation, says he. (In this. Hennessey, .Mitsker wur greatly mistaken, for who but Killison built up the town in the vicinity of the Pinncilvany depot?) "This is a business question, says he, which ought to be decided by Dhoctors Knott and Priston," says he. "Dont the Dhoctors want an ix-ray machine in their offices," says he? N "What do Killison, Stevens and Lauer want with ix-ray machines in their offices, says he? Can't they get a man's money widout the ix-ray. says he? "How cud I exthrakt the money from the pockets of all those who want to put their hands in the public threasury, with me two be four printin' press, widout the ix-ray," says he? . "Be this toime. the crowd became impatient and wud not listen to Mitsker. Orther, Orther, says the chairman, the toy-terrier has the floor, says he. "But the crowd wud not be quiet. "I am a ghreat frind of both Lauer and Killison, says Mitsker. and I enjoy their frindship more than I can tell." says Mitsker, laying his hand over his heart. Thin the disturbance stopped for a minute." "In conchlusion," says Mitsker, "I want to ask this question, "Where is the man who dares to deny Dhoctors Knott and Priston, to say nothing of myself." says he, "of the privilege of bavin' r.n ix-ray machine to locate the pocket books of our customers," says he? "I trimble for me counthry," says he, "while Jim Deloney is alive," says he. "Whin Mitsker was thru, there were cries of "put him out." "He's a rat," says wan. "Bring in the cat," says Deloney. "Orther, gintlemin, says the chairman. "No man should blame Mitsker," says Killison, "for what he may say, or what he may not say," said he. He is a midget, both in body and mind," says Killison. Those born under the dog-star," says he, "will be whiffets all their lives," says he, "no matther how much their parints may do for thim," says he. "The risolution was put, and all but eight in the room voted for it."

STOCK

In order to avoid paying higher prices for our Fall Goods, we found it advisable to place our order much ealrier than usual, and to have them delivered to us in July, instead of September. We find now that it will be necessary to reduce our present stock fully onethird to make room for the early arrivals. To do this we sacrifice profits for 15 days by means of our Great Stock Reduction Sale! Beginning, Saturday, Julu 20; Ending Mmi 3d.

Operators Ready to Quit.

Operators in Chicago Wednesday announced their readiness to

desert their keys next Monday

morning unless Labor Commis

sioner Neill succeeds in effecting

a compromise with the telegraph

companies before that time. Ac

cording to the local leaders of

Chicago, further delays in the strike program will not be toler

ated. They expect practically a unanimous vote to strike at next Sunday's massmeeting.

All activity . Wednesday was directed towards preparing, for

A J. W this meeting. The meeting will be called by the local executive board, which will be in session probably Thursday for ,that purpose. It is not believed now that President Small will be present, although General Secretary Wesley Russell said this was not certain. He declared he had no knowledge of the report that the head. of the order had changed his plans ana decided to remain in San Francisco until the arrival of commissioner Neill.

Naval Disasters. Since the Spanish-American war,' during which only one American 'naval officer lost his life, and no American ship was lost, there have been more than 21 accidents, many of grave .haractcr. There have been 11 lives lost and CO men injured, during

the past seven years, through accidents caused by explosions or powder ignition. The cruiser Charleston was lost in lfcOD on an unchartered rock in the Philippines; the U. S. steamer Yoscmite foundered in a gale at .Guam in 1900; the tug Lyden, in 1003, was lost on the rocks off Block Island during v. violent storm, and there were several cases of battleships and smaller vessels running aground rr being in collision and escaping with slight injuries. To add to the list was the explosion of the boiler on the U. S. ship Bennigton in San Diego harbor in 100.", when one officer and e'ghty-fivc men were killed and about 30 others injured.

Merrill Moores Head of Bar Association. Merrill Moores, of Indianapolis, was elected president of the Indiana State Bar Association Wednesday afternoon. Up to the time of the election the only name mentioned for the place was that of Dan W. Simms, of Lafayette, and it was generally supposed that he would be elected. However, John Morris, Jr., of Ft. Wayne, placed Mr. Moores in nomination ,and James Bingham, Attorney-General, announced Mr. Simms. The ballot resulted CO for Moores and 41 for Simms. , Mr. Moores ha served as secretary of the association for several years and has been considered the "main spoke" in the wheel. "Give him the highest office this year and we will elect Dan Simms next year," was the way one member explained his vote. Other officers were elected as follows: Vice-president, Dan W. Simms, Lafayette; secretary, George A. Batchelör, Indianapolis; treasurer, Frank E. Gavin, Indianapolis; members of the ex

ecutive committee, John W. Hanan, Lagrange; William P. Breen,

Ft. Wayne; William A.Ketcham, Indianapolis; William O. Darroch, Kcntland.

To Wed in Berlin. Dispatches from Berlin state that the marriage of Albert J. Bevcridge and Miss Catherine Eddy, of Chicago, will take place August 7th, at th Ameerican embassy in that city, where Miss Eddy's brother, Spencer F. Eddy, is secretary of the embassy. The original plan had been to have the wedding in Chicago next October but Miss Eddy had to come abroad with her mother, who is in bad health, and it was decided to have the ceremony performed in Berlin. It is not known whether the senator and his bride will go to Indianapolis and occupy their new home in that city before going to Washington, but it is not thought that they will. Senator Beveridge is now in Europe.

Sea Dogs Talk Peace. If there is any prospect of war with Japan in the near future Admiral Evans doesn't know anvthing, about it ,and neither does his friend, Admiral Baron Gonbey Yamamoto, the Japanese minister of marine during thp wrar with Russia, who arrived in New York Wednesday on the Cunard liner Carmania. Admiral Evans called on the distinguished visitor soon after his arrival at the Holland House and they greeted each other like long-lost brothers. The two old sea dogs were having a jovial visit together when a photographer sent a note with a request that they pose together for a photograph. Admiral "Bob" read the note aloud to the Japanese admiral and the latter readilv consented. "Why, admiral,", he exclaimed, "that will make a peaceful-looking picture, indeed. It will do much to show that "all this talk

about war is false. I shall be glad

to take part in it." "I suffered habitually from con
