TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bissell Buildid. corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postof&ee at Plymouth. Indiana as second-class matter. . t Plymouth, Indiana, August. 15, 1907. Metsker in his Independable Friday evening says that the grand jury that indicted him a few months ago was imposed upon by Mr. Hendricks and the prosecuting attorney. The only imposition that was attempted upon this grand jury was done by Metsker a short time before they unanimously voted to indict him. It is understood that the little editor appeared before that body and undertook to "plead his case" when the foreman politely told the gentleman (?) that thieves and criminals, were not wanted in the grand jury room and requested him Vk leave the room. Metsker took his hat and left and soon after the jury voted two true bills against him. oS 5 5 ANANIAS BREAKS LOOSE. After being somewhat of a peaceable citizen for a few weeks, Aananias Hoys breaks loose in defense of "The Senator." He devotes a few lines of space in trying ten show that Farks earned the money, but let's sec who bired Mr. Parks and what right he has to a "just and true" claiiA against the county. On page 434 Commissioner's record! Q we find the following order: And the board do further appoint Harley A. Logan (or in case of the inability of said Logan tc attend the session of said State Uoard, then John W. Pirks shall be his alternate) and William T. Leonard as the representatives of the Board of County Commissioners to attend the session of the Board of State Tax Commissioners on Tuesday, July 23, 1907, af 9 o'clock a. m. and to tae all steps necessary and requisite to be done in the premises. Joel Anglin, W. L. Yantiss. The above order plainly shows that Mr. Parks should not go unless- it be impossible for Mr. Loga to go,' but "The Senator" always highly inflated and ready to do something far the peopl- of Marshall county (when the price is in sight) called Mr. Anglin on telephone and "begged the job of going along with Mr. Logan to Indianapolis and Mr. Anglin told him it might be all right for him to go along; but Mr. Anglin, when r;ot in session on the' board has no authority to contract for anything, hence Mr. Parks had no authority to represent Marshall County before the state tax board. Mr. Parks is liable to criminal prosecution for presenting false claims, under the Acts of 1905, which he himself helped to pas3 and if we are not very badly mistaken prosecution will follow if Mr. Parks's bill is allowed and the amount drawn from the county treasury. The fee of $30.00 that Mr. Parks charged the county for about 30 minutes work is ;nore than he makes in a month in his law practice, is more than three times the amount charged by Attorney Logan and more than fifty times greater than that charged by Mr. Leonard. In this connection we wish toi state that the figures given to the tax board were prepared in the audi.or's office and were presented by Mr. Leonard the county assessor and if any credit is due anyone for the 5 per cent decrease, it is due Mr. Leonard and not Mr. Parks. Mr. Leonard only asked his expenses and no charge is made whatever for "inflated" legal ability. There is no appropriation for this bill and the council may be induced not to make it. , The taxpayers of Center township have not forgotten the fee of over $200 that Mr. Parky charged for getting a little transfer money from the state superintendent of schools a little over a year ago. jß jff Roosevelt Names Labor Day. President Roosevelt issued an executive order Monday making Labor day. Sept 2, a holiday for government employes and laborers who are employed by the day. The order is as follows: "It is hereby ordered that all per diem employes and other day labor-ers-'in federal public service wherever employed whose employ extends through and by thi first Monday in September commonly known as Labor day, and set apart as a nation holiday for certain branches oS the public service by the act of June 23.

New York Leads Strike. Between 300 and 400 members of the New York locals of the telegraphers' union walked out of the offices oif the Western Union and Postal Telegraph crimpamcsIonday jafjerndori without4 the knowledge or sanction of the officers of either the local or of the national organization. The stampede was started by radicals among the union men who did not care to abide. by the ordr of their organization, passed at a meeting of the local on Sunday, forbidding a strike until the result of the pending mediation in Chicago on Friday should be known. An hour and a half after the strike the president of the New York local announced that the walkout was sanctioned by the local officers, and later a telegram of approval came from Wesley Russell, national secretary of the union, now in Chicago. The strike fever attacked the New York telegraphers in the same characteristic manner that it has the number of telegraphers in western cities that have been going out on strike since Friday last. In the morning the telegraphers sat at their keys without any preconceived intent to strike; at noon they were bitten with the strike mania, within an hour they answered the whistle and walked out of their offices. The whistle in each case was blown by one of their Organization number, who had not been in consultation with any heads of the local organization. Belvidere Broioks, general superintendent of the eastern division of the Western Union,, who said that he had been preparing for a strike for the last three months, declared he had the places of the strikers filled before six o'clock Monday and expects business to be conducted in a notrmal fashion. The Postal company was taken by surprise and more seriously crippled. Monday night that company had drawn operators from most of its uptown branch offices and was getting away with business fairly well. Both companies say that within twentyfour hours they will have a!l the deserted keys filled.

St Elmo's Fire on Balloon. Allen R. Hawley, a director of the Aero Club of America and an aeronaut who has done and seen things, is in New York with a vivid experience between! storm clouds in a night ascension near Pari. The drag rope of his big balloon was trailing hi one cloud while, the great silken sphere was involved in another. The drag rope became incandescent, resembling a hawser wrxven of flame towing the lower cloud. St. Elmo's globeiess electric lamps bloomed on every rope end. The glowing city below was invisible through the electric drapery. 'Whenever Mr. Hawley touched any part of the gear of the baloon he received a shock. His mustache once bristled luminous' 3s if it were made of fihments of incandescent lights. The atmosphere around the baloon, whi.h resembled a miniature sun, vas brighter than the light of noon ov a summer 'day. All the meteorological instruments could be read without effort. The storm was soon over or rather the balloon was soon over the storm. The Paris papers discussed the phenomenon, some saying that it would add to the world's knowledge of St. Elmo fie and that other night ascensions under storm conditions ought to be made for tire benefit of science. Peary's "Dash' Postponed. Commander Robert E. Peary's dash for the pole has been postponed Failure to complete the repairs on his ship, the 'Roosevelt has compelled the explorer to put off his trip until next year. Through the Peary Arctic Club the explorer gave ORit the following statement over his owrt signature: "Owing to the failure of the contractors for the "Roosevelt's new boilers to live up to their agreement', the main expedition of the Peary Artie Club will be postponed for a year, and the 'Roosevelt' when the wotrk of repairs is completed, will go north on a flying trip to deposit my proposed coal depot at Etah, Greenland, returning the last of September. 'fn this connection it is proper to state that the contract for the construction and installation of the two new boilers for the 'Roosevelt was made upon the assurance of the contractors that tHie work should be completed on June 1, and this provision was embodied in the contract. As a matter of fact the boilers are only just completed and the installation is yet to be done." Typographical Union Convention. The forty-third annual convention of the International Typographical Union of North America has convened at Hot Springs Ark. The meeting was called to order by Chairman C. M. Miller, of the convention committee. After addresses o fwelcome the annual reports of the officers were read and filed. There are about 1,000 delegates and visitors in attendance.

MORTUARY.

Mrs. Catherine) Thompson. Catherine Campion Thompson wa3 born in . Cleveland Ohio, Sept. 20, 1843, died Aug. 7, 1907, aged C3 years, 10 months and 18 days. The deceased came to Indiana June 1861 where she was united in marriage to Larkin R. Thompson at Tyner, Oct. 23, 1SG1, to whom seven children were born, of whom five survive with the husband. She also leaves two sisters and seven grandchildren to mourn her loss. She had been a great sufferer for a number of years. Mrs. Thompson was a devout Christian. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. at the U. B. church in Tyner. Death of Edward Zumbaugh. Edward Eugene Zumbaugh died at the home of his father, Aaam Zumbaugh, on east Laporte street, Thursday morning at 11:3.1 o'clock as the result of injuries received in an accident at the Monarch Iron Works Wednesday. Deceased was born in Plymouth, April 17, 18f3, and has resided here nearly ever since. He leaves a wife, Mar, and five children, two af whom are boys and three girls. He leaves one brother, Peter of West township, and a sister, Mrs. Oron Hoover, of this citj. He was a blacksmith by trade, being a former partner in the Zumbaugh bheksnuth shop, but has been1 employed by the Monarch Iron Works since that company came to Plymouth. The funeral was conducted at the father's1 residence, at 2:30 p. m. Sunday. Interment at Oak Hill. Alton Will Not Be Prosecuted. .The Chicago and Alton company will not be prosecuted by the government for granting rebates to the Standard Oil company. J.udge Landis himself will make an announcement to this effect. This decision is tne result o& consideration given the matter by the president and AttorneyGeneral Bonaparte and follows the discovery of an explicit promise of immunity given to the road by Mr. Moody, notw an associate justice of the United States Supreme court, when he was attorney general. The attention of Mr. Bonaparte was called to this promise last week, not by tie Chicago and Alton but by an Official Of the government, who has had to do with the preparation of the case against the oil trust. He stated that without the assistance of the Chicago and Alton it would have been impossible for the government to prosecute the Standard Oil upon a large number of counts which were contained in indictments found in Chicago, New York and Tennessee. It was possible, of course, for the department of justice to have compelled the Chicago and Alton to open its books. and papers in' accordance with the decision rendered in the tobacco and paper trust cases. But such proceeding's necessarily would have placed the railroad on its guard and prevented the government from getting information as abundantly as it did as a result of the voluntary action of the ro.id. Upon receipt of the communication the attorney general laid it befart the president and the latter directed him to carry out the promise made by Mr. Moody. Upon his arrival in Washington, the attorney general communicated with Judge Landis and explained how the government was unable to carry out the instructions he had given to the president in the case of the Chicago and Alton to. a special grand jury. Under the direction of Judge Landis, an order for a panel of sixty men was made return able at 10 o'clock on Wednesday next. The court, therefore, will have an opportunity to. cancel the order before it is put into effect. The department of justice declines to say whether other roads which have granted rebates to the Standard will escape prosecution on the same ground as the Chicago and Alton. Proceedings against the Pennsylvania have been begun in New York. There is reason to believe, however, that the government feels kindly toward all the railroads save the New York Central, which alone refused to give any information to the bureau of corporations when it was making its investigations into operations of the Standard. In the case of the New York Central the government was able to obtain positive evidence or. only one count, and $15,000 was the amount of the fine imposed upon that road. It is understood1 various district attorneys will refrain from submitting to the grand juries any proposal to indict railroads, limiting their activity to prosecution of the oil trust. Put Bart on Membership. The Catholic order of Foresters, in national convention at St. Paul, Minn., Thursday, placed the ban on saloonkeepers and bartenders, following the action taken by the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum and other organizations. Some elk lodges have placed the ban on their future admission.

First Forest and Gamo Preserve. Long before the white man set foot on the shores of North America, the native inhabitants understood the value of the wild game and the necessity of setting apart reservations for its protection. Indeed, in this respect, they were far superior to the whites, who, in everything relating ta the game and the forests, were essentially savage and destructive. The Six Nations, whose sway extended over a wide scope of country, were the prime movers in setting apart the first national park and game preserve ever seen in America. The section selected for the purpose was so wisely chosen as to reflect great credit upon their foresight and statesmanship. It was the blue grass region extending from the Ohio river to the valleys of the Cumbreland and Tennessee. By a treaty between the Iroquois or, the north, the Cherokccs on the south, and the Chickasaws on the west, this beautiful region was declared to be "neutral grounds" to be used only for the purposes of peace. All permanent settlement or agriculture was forbidden, though all tribes of Indians were allowed to visit the section in proper seasons for hunting and fishing. There was a perpetual truce between the tribes when they met in this neutral territory. No matter how hostile at home, even though engaged in war with each other, all hostilities ceased when they came together between the Ohio and Tennessee. No tribe was allowed to d'well there permanently and the troubles between the white men and Indians, of which we read in history, were due to collisions between the incoming pioneers and the Indian hunting parties. Before the white man came, the arrow was sped only when aimed at the game and fowl of the wilderness, and the tomahawk gleamed only in the contests of skill. Stone mojniments wer put up to mark the boundaries of this first park and some of these rfre s'till found standing. The blue grass region of Kentucky was from the beginning a natural park, differing essentially from the heavy forests north of the Ohio. There was little underbrush, but a vast greensward interspersed with stately forest trees. No park commisfsioner ' wa necessary. No roads' were needed, as one might travel for miles over a spongy and velvety bed surpassing the finest carpet. Over this the fallow deer grazed in countless thousands ancf grew ,fat on the nutritious blue grass. The lordly buffalo, which as yet had not been driven across the Mississippi, laved his sides in the limpid streams, and rolled in joy over the soft and yielding sward. The Indians had strict game laws. Nothing was allowed to be killed out of season. Game was pursiiedl for food, nt sport, and nothing was wantonly destroyed. Wiser than the white man, they left the forests to protect the streams' and modify the climate. Wiser than the white man. they protected the game for future use and were careful that no animal oS value should be pursued to extermination. A last we are learning and are beginning to know what the Indians did centuries ago.

Black Horse Troop Drills at Winona. The famous Black Horse Troop of Culver Military Academy gave drills Friday afternoon on the Winona athletic grounds. Forty coal-black horses executed the intricate maneuvers of the drill wih hardly a direction from the riders. These horses were bought by Culver Academy from the Government and were the famous Troop A that served as an escort to President McKinly at his inauguration. Not many of the original black horses are still in the troop, but the academy is able to replace them one by one so that the original forty seem to be intact. The Culver troop came overland o Winona. Thursday night the boys camped at Bourbon, Ind., and com pleted the trip Friday morning. Sat urday the Black Horse Troop took part in the circus clay parade of the Winona boys' city and left for Culver in th afternoon. A few of the "winter boys" of Culver were in Friday's drill, but the majority were of the summer school. Ther are sjventy-five more "summer" boys at Culver now than they have room space for, so seventy-five are compelled to camp on the campus. The entire .300 boys of the school leave Culver on Aug. 19 for a camp at Jamestown. Close Call for a Princess. -A special to the Lokal Anziger from Cassel, Germany, where Emperor William is staying, and where he will meet the king of Siam, says that Princess Victoria Louise, the emperor's daughter, barely escaped serious injury while walking in Wilhclmshohe park. A large tree fell across the path in which the princess was walking with the children of the duke of Wurtemberg. The emperor, who was on the tennis ground in the vicinity, heard the crash and hurried to the scene. He found the children greatly frightened but unhurt. Soldiers were immediately set to work clearing away the fallen tree, a task which the emperor himself superintended.

Fruit Should Bei Washed.

All fruit should be thoroughly washed before eaten, and now, when they are an important part of the daily menu, this caution cannot be too often repeated. The tender surface of fruit offer peculiar facilities for the harboring of microbes. Twelve million bacteria, according to Dr. Ehrlich, a German scientist, inhabit the skins of a half pound of cherries. Currants come nextt with 1,000,000 to every halfpound, and grapes next with 8,000,000. As if this were not enough, the custom of exposing fruits in the open stands of the grocers and fruiterers offers this peculiarly fertile ground to abundant culture. Besides this wholesale infection' to which fruit is exposed after reaching the city markets, much of it even on vines and bushes has been exposed to infection. Currant and jooscberry bushes, irf almost every instance, have been deluged with hellebore to thwart the ravage of the currant worm. All this, however, is no argument against the consumption of fruit. It is simply calling attention to the fact that it must be carefully washed before using. In preparing berries for the table, look over first. Put the looked-over fruit into a wire basket and turn the faucet over them. Not too hard, but steadily turning the basket from side to side until cveiy portion of the fruit has" been washed clean. Now shike the basket lightly, let stand a ffvv moments to thoroughly drain, then serve. One eminent auihority claims that grapes should have salt sprinkled over them before using, following with a bath of cold water from the faucet. Oranges and lemons should have their skins rubbed with a little scrubbing brush kept for this purpose. The dark patches on the surface of lemons are formed by the eggs of an insect, and radical treatment is essential for their dislodgement. Alway3 wash as soon as brought from the fruit vendors, then wipe dry and put awav in a cool place. ' Apples pears and plumbs should nil receive a rinsing in cold water before eating, and peaches should be wiped with a clean cldth. .The skin should never be eaten. Canteloups 2nd watermelons need the same care before serving, and watermelons should have the rind removed before sending to the table. It is most suitably and prettily served by cutting out the luscious pink center in cone shapes and piling oa a platter lined with grape leaves. To Change Navy Uniform. With the sanction of Admiral Evans, a board' of naval officers, with Capt. Hugo Osterhaus as senior member, has been appointed to decide on changes in the uniforms of enlisted men in the United States navy. A general opinion exists among the officers that changes should be made for the good of the service, some of them maintaining that the conspicuous attire of the seasmen has done much f.o prevent enlistment in the navy, while the marine corps, which has a natty uniform, has no trouble in securing recruits. The chief grievance in the navy seems to be in reference to the old pancake style, of sailor cap. The ;e caps are said to be utterly useless cn a, windy day. A cap similar to the white duck hat now usd, made of blue cloth, was' tried at one time, but it was said to be not dressy enough. Complaint has also been received from the men of their blouses and the wide flaring trousers. The uniform seems to be a relic of the past. Second Fiddle, It has now been suggested that, on account of superior merit, Judge Landis should be governor or president or something which he is not. This reminds one of the amateur orchestra director's difficulty in keeping second violins. As soon as they can play fairly well they all want to play "first." It never occurs- to them that the second violins are as essential to the harmonious whole as those that play "primo," even though they perhaps have not as good an opportunity to "show off" to advantage. Good judges and second violins are as much in demand as first violins and presidents-. Sometimes we may serve our constituents most effectively by playing our little tune of "You in your small corner and I in mine" on the "second fiddle." South Bend Times. Shaffer and! Sec rest Reunion. The Shaffer and Secrest families held a reunion at Fisher's Grove, Aug. 11th, 1907. About 300 were in attendance and a fine program consisting of songs and declamations, was delivered immediately after dinner had been served Speechs were made by I. Shaffer, Henry Shaffer and others. J. A. Molter spoke of the good qualities in the Shaffers as a people and closed by speaking in German of how' the older Shaffers cleared and cleaned up the wilderness one half century ago. Officers were elected for the ensuing year and all were pleased and glad they, had attended.

Resolutions Passed by the Plymouth Fire; Department on thd Death of Edward Zumbaugh. Whereas, By the accidental death of Comrade Edward Zumbaugh tfiere has been rudely taken from our ranks a good and faithful member of this department. Therefore Resolved That it is our duty to fittingly express to his family and relatives the esteem in which he was held by us who remain in active service as firemen of the City of Plymouth. .Edward Zumbaugh : has been a member of Protection Hook & Ladder Co., for many years, and has ever been esteemed by his officers as a good and reliable man for any duty assigned him. He was always willing and prompt to perform whatever service was his part to do. His judgment was ever good as to what should be done, and his hand always to be depended on. By his sudden death we-feel the loss in our ranks of a true comrade in the Fire service,, and shall miss him in our active duties and in our councils. To his family who are left to mourn we wish to extend all the sympathy of which our hearts are capable. We know that our words are but feeble mediums with which to express our regrets at the violent death of your loved one, but we assure you that every true fireman' heart beats' in sympathy with you in this sad hour, and we can only commend you to the wisdom and favor of the All-wise God, Jn whom alone is strength. Resolved that this be spread on the records of the Fire Department, a copy be given the family of our deceased comrade, and given to the papers of the city for publication. Signed, A. R. Underwood, John F. Gullen, F. A. Forbes, Committee. Lodge Plans Plank for Tariff Revision. Senator Henry. Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, who was the central figure in framing the tariff plank of the Republican national platform in 1904, aspires to be the man to make the platform for the party again; next year. Senator Lodge was chairman of the committee on resolutions at the. Chicago convention three years ago, and unless it be thought better to pass the honors around he may fill the same, niche in the convention of 1905. At any rate he is likely to be the administrati n leader, and if the administration forces control the convention, as seems most probable at this writing, he will have possibly more voice in shaping the resolutions than anyone on the scene of action. It is significant, therefore, that Senator Lodge already has added1 his voice to the list of party leaders who are assuring he country that tariff revision is due to move immediately following the inauguration of a Rer publican President, March 4, 1909. It is well known that the policy of starting action for the administration that is tai succee- the present was enunciated by President Roosevelt and his advisers months ago, although Senator Hopkins of Illinois seemed to think he was telling the country some live news when he exploited the idea after the luncheon at Oyster Bay a few weeks' back. It had been so long since the original publication of the facts! that some newspapers had forgotten them, and Mr. Hopkins was credited with a "scoop " The latest word which 'comes from Senator Lodge however, attracts particular attention because he is the President's closest friend in the up per branch of Congress, and because he is the person likely to go to the place where the national convention is held with the tariff plank in his pocket. Chicago Record Herald. Couple Murdered by Robbers. George W. Hudson and wife, who sold their farm near Noblcsville, Ind., a few days ago were found murdered Tuesday morning, on the return of a daughter who had been absent several days. The murder was committed some time Monday night. The house had been ransacked from top to bottom, and if the money received from the sale of the farm was irr the house it was probably secured by the murderers. When found the body of Mrs. Hudson was lying in bed, and it is supposed she was shot while asleep. Mr. Hudson was found! near the same room, and there are evidences of a struggle, the furniture being displaced "and a chair broken. ,An old revolver which did not belong to the family was . found in the house with- four exploded cartridges in it, but there was not evidence that more than two shots were fired in the house.

Grain Rates Are As Fixed as Law. The interstate commerce commission made several important rulings Wednesday. It held that the published grain rate governing the transportation between two given points is as fixed and unalterable as if that rate had been established by special act oi congress. Regardless of the rate quoted in a bill of lading the published rate mus be used by the shipper and actually collected by the carrier. While shippers' largely rely upon the rates quoted by freight agents and billing clerks, the law charges them with knowledge of the lawful rates. If a carrier contrary to shippers' instructions, forwarded cars by a more expensive instead of a cheaper rottte or without any Instruction sends the cars by the more expensive route such actioai is without justification and constitutes a fair basis for reparation. Shippers along the lines of an interstate commerce are entitled to have their products moved at reasonable rates and the commission says it cannot agree that a carrier may establish prohibitive rates oja any com modity an the ground that it is not desirable traffic for that carrier. Cause of Clam Scarcity. Before the National Association of Pearl Button Manufacturers, in session at Chicago, reports from government investigators, with reference to the rapid disappearance of fresh water clams, have been received. It has been demonstrated that clam spawn is attached most frequently to the gills of German carp. These fish prey on others and have been destroyed wherever found. To this fact is attributed the scarcity of clams. The pearl button business is threatened with extinction and the association1 has appointed committees ta urge the cultivation of clams in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri.

(P1 BEST BIGGEST BRIGHTEST 20 Camels, -, ' May Eclipse Giant WarsJiip. Naval circles are agitated over the report that the British admiralty is about to lay down the keel for a g ant battleship of 30,000 tons, to be armed with eighteen 12 inch guns. It is understood that the new ship will not only be of no less than 30,000 tons displacement against the 20,000 tons of the Dreadnought, but aside from the mere matter of superior size the design is believed to include many novelties, some based on the experience of the Dreadsnought. Such a one, for instance, is understood to be the contemplated -ssetn-bling of three guns in each turret, so that, if the new ship is equipped with six turrets, it will carry no less than eighteen gun in its main battery. The caliber of the guns, however, will, it is believed, remain at 12 inches-, the present standard. The report of the British plan has caused some of the bolder spirits among the American ship designers to proceed to greater length and to propose the laying down of a battleship of 40,000 tons displacement, placing the American navy clearly in the lead. Naval designers arc believed to be willing to undertake the construction of such a ship. It would cost no less than $20,000,000 but in view of the predominance it would give to America as a naval power, it is argued by the advocates of the proposition that such a ship would be an economical investment by tending to insure peace.
