INDIAN BECOMING CIVILIZED.

Plan to Purchase 25 Tons of Soap and 30 Miles of Toweling:. Uncle i am is about to purchase twenty-five tons of soaj and thirty miles of crash toweling for the use of his Indian wards out West. Officials of the Bureau of Indian affairs are busy these days opening bids for the supply of articles which are needed at Indian schools and on Indian reservations. Soap and towels compose the incidental items in a long list of things which it is asserted are necessary to make the Indian happy and clean. It is said the requisition for toilet articles has never before been so large and that the big demand for the same is a sure sign that poor Lo is getting civilized. While the Government has practically abandoned the practice pi issuing rations to Indians, giving them only to the infirm and aged, millions in money are expended annually to educate and civilize the Indian youth. It is to children and Indians who work that the great bulk of $1,500,000 of supplies about to be purchased will be allotted. scrubTeämBESTS REGULARS ALL-STARS COMPOSED OF EX-HIGH SCHOOL AND OLD PLAYERS, SHOW THE CITY TEAM BY SCORE OF 4 TO 2. A team calling themselves the All-Stars, composed of, ex-High School and oW city players defeated the Plymouth team at the fair grounds yesterday by a score of 4 to 2. But there were only five regulars on the city team, the remainder being composed ot other ex-players. It was a good game at that. "Billy" Hahn pitched for the All-Stars, and made a better showing than did Spade for the city team. The AllStars would have goose-egged their opponents but lor two errors, which cost two scores. There were nine high school players on both teams. Prof. Randall was seen in right field for the All-Stars. Foster Helms was in his old position behind the bat. Tanner on first sack, with Clifford Burkett again on 3rd, and Glen Underwood who made good on the I. U. Freshmen team, picking them up at short stop. "Arney" Cleveland played center field. For the city team Harry Knott, Frank Martindalc and Gussie Kuhn covered the bases in the order named. The line-ups were as follows: ALL-STARS CITY TEAM Wir.. Hahn ' p Spade F. Helms II. Tanner Morcombe Cl Burkett Underwood C. Miller Cleveland Randall c Borne lb Knott 2b Martindale 3b McLaughlin ss Kuhn If Logan cf H. Vangilder rf R. Ness DISBARMENT IS RECOMMENDED. Attorney Joseph E. Talbot of South Bend to be Investigated. The disbarment commitee appointed by Judge Funk of South Bend to pass upon evidence Attorney Charles F. Holler stated he wished 'to present against Prosecuting Attorney Joseph E. Talbot, submitted its findings in open court Wednesday, and act ing upon the recommendation made, the judge appointed Attorneys C. P. Ducomb, H. R. Wair, and D. D. Bates a committee to prepare disbarment charges, and file same on or before the second day of the September term ol court. r The report is doubtlpss satisfactory to Prosecutor Talbot in view of his request made upon the committee last Saturday, that they submit an adverse finding in order that he might secure an early public hearing on the charge, feeling confident of his ability to 'disprove the accusation made before the committee. Co. I. Notes. Privates Benjamin Force, Frank Powell and William Shirar left Sunday evening for Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis to take part in the regimental rifle match. They will be on the range three days. Corp. Lloyd Zumbaugh who qualified for the team at Elkhart was unable to go because of the absence of his parents who are in Wisconsin. Co. I boys are taking much interest in rifle practice and it is hoped that a range can be secured at Plymouth before the summer is over so some range practice can be had before gallery practice opens this coming winter.

REPUBLICANS HOLD CONFERENCE

COMMITTEEMEN AND CANDIDATES CONFER ON STATE & CONGRESSIONAL TICKETS GOODRICH NOT TO RESIGN. It was a "gay and gallus" crowd of Republicans that was at Indianapolis Thursday to arrange plans and specifications for wiping the Democratic party of Indiana off the face of the state. No lugubrious faces were seen, but while th members of the state committee and the nominees for state and other offices kept on smiling some nervousness was displayed. Those who were familiar wtih conditions in Indiana realized that if they have anything on the Democrats at this time the plurality is small. The selection of the executive committee of the state committee was deferred until another meeting. It. is understood that four of the six members have been agreed on. They are : O. L. Carr, of Rushville; James E. Piety, of Terre Haute; Charles Remy, of Indianapolis, and John L. Moorman of Knox. A number of names are under consideration for the other two place's on the committee. The district chairmen made verbal reports of the conditions as they found therfi, and in most instances they were encouraging. The last poll taken in the various counties was discussed and the showing made on the returns traced up the members of the committee. The discussion of the plans for the campaign took up considerable time, but wlien the talk was ended the chairmen had reached an agreement on a uniform plan, the details of which arc yet to be worked out, and will net be mane public except as they develop. The temperance question was. not touched, incept that a part of the plan of fVie zampaign work will be strictly aiong the line'of the temperance plank in the Republican state platform. Congressman Watson, the Republican nominee for governor; Fremont Goodwins, nominee for lieutenant-governor, and United States Senator v lleinenway Were at the committee meeting for a while. . On the question of the time for opening the campaign, it was decided to leave that matter with Acting Chairman Fred Sims and Secretary Carl Riddick and let them open the campaign any old time they sec fit, the sen'timcnt of the committee, however, being that the shorter the campaign the better. In regard to the report that State Chairman Goodrich would resign t this meeting the information was 'given -out that Mr. Goodrich will not resign at this or 2ii)othcr meeting. The active work of the campaign, however,' will be under the manage ment of Fred Sims, who will be acting chairman, Mr. Goodrich assisting him in an advisory capacity. Mr. Goodrich' will give considerable of his time to political work in Indiana. The members of the. state committee felt better after the meeting than they did before they heard the reports from the different districts.

PLYMOUTH 16 BOURBON ONLY 5 NOT MUCH GLORY IN DEFEATING BOURBON TEAM, BUT WHATEVER GLORY THERE IS, IS OURS. The great team of the Bourbon Kings, has at last struck its colors, and has made oneVlorious gurgle and turned up its toes. Not by any 4 to 2 score either. Not much ! Sixteen to five, wasn't tl. at -glorious? In fact the Bourbon boys knew they had ,un their day before the game started at Bourbon Thursday. A new man (Bowman they said was his name) started to do the pitching for Bourbon. Start, was . all he did do, and had not the enraged Bourbon fans successfully clamored iorjhis removal perhaps Bowman would be starting yet. In the first inning twelve Plymouth men were allowed to bat, and after tiring of slugging the ball, the Clippers bunted and played horse, and incidentally run in 7 scores. All in the first inning too. In fact Bourbon owes the Plymouth team many thanks for spareing their feelings as they did. It amid have been 40 scores as well as 17, but the Clippers thought perhaps the Kings might have nerve enough to try the game again, with the Atwood Stars, or Huckleberry Corner's team, and to make the score too high would be dealing the Bourbon Kings a death blow, and make it impossible to secure a game with champions of Huckleberry Corners. The desperate Kings changed men on almost every position hoping against hope that their former luck would return. Alas no, not even a sympathizing umpire to be had. Burwell succeeded Bowman in the box. Poor boy he didn't do much better. A couple of Bourbon fans who tried to count them said that only 23 hits were made by the Plymouth team, anyway there were no less than that amount. The line up for Bourbon was p Bowman and Burwell c Zellers and Bowman lbMullenhour 2b Jones and Zellers 3b -Blue and Burwell ss Oswalt If Hibbitts cf Comp ton rfTyrrell Here is the line up of the Clippers: Pitch Smith, catch Borne, lb Betz, 2b Martindale, 3b Harris, short stop Tebay, If Ray Logan, cf Spade, r f R.

Bites Man's Nose Off. While hitching a horse in hisi barn, west of Wabash, Edward Kaicy had his nose bitten off by a vicious animal. The first attack of the horse was anticipated and the man successfully defended himself. A minute later, however, the horse caught Kaicy's nose between his teeth, tearing it from his face.

CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH

MANY PLYMOUTH PEOPLE SPEND DAY AT MAXINKUCKEE BALOONIST IS INJUREDSEVERAL PICNIC PARTIES rife 132nd brithday of the na tion was celebrated by Plymouth people in various ways. There were many picn icing parties, at Pretty lake, Twin lakes- and Lake of the Woods, by persons enjoying a sane and quiet Fourth. The bulk of Plymouth cclebrators, however, spent the day at Culver. About 000 from this city by train and carriages traveled to the shores of the beautiful Maxinkuckce lake. . A kind of program was carried out there. The Plymouth Clippers again tasted defeat, at the hands of the Culver team, by the score of 9 to 1. In the afternoon the Bremen team cleaned up Culver, by the ideal score of 1 to 0. Fred Betz of the Plymouth team carried away some individ ual g!ry by taking first money in the 15 yard dash, and second place in the long base ball(throw, in the contests held during the afternoon. A disastrous feature of the day was an accident in which the baloonist Prof. Fred Murray, got a hard fall, and was reported lat er in the evening as having died. At about 3:30 in the afternoon the balloon was filled and was i:ady for the ascension. Murray was seated in a trapeze of the parachute, when the order "Let 'er go" was given. The balloon shot up and sideways. One of the guy ropes became entangled in the guy wires of a pole used to hold the balloon while inflating. The large gas bag made a sudden lurch and tore loose the parachute, which failed to open m the short distance, and with the balloonist, crashed to the earth. The drop was about 23 feet. Murray hvas picked up uncon-j scions, and physicians who were present attended him. A report circulated during the evening that the man had died. Instead, however; he was seen walking the dusty, streets ,of Culver town. The Plymouth people who had driven to Culver remained in the evening and enjoyed dancing on the "White Swan" pavilion. BISHOP POTTER DYING, AS PHYSICIANS . GIVE NO HOPE. i Stricken Prelate May Have Sufficient Strength to Prolong Life a Few Hours. Bishop Henry Codman Potter of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York, is near death's door, at Cooperstown, N. Y. The bulletins issued by his physicians during Wednesday related in brief to the aged divine's steadily decreasing vitality. In no case did the doctors hold out hope of a favorable termination of the bishop's illness, and in their last statement for the night they indicated that the end was slowly and gradually, but to all appearances surely, approaching. But the means taken to keep up 'the patient's strength have been in a measure efficacious, and, it was believed the bishop had sufficient vitality to carry him through the night. The bishop has remained conscious throughout tlie day, and his communications with those about him in the sick room Wednesday were invariably cheerful in tone. He remains free from pain, and despite his extreme weakness retains complete com mand of his mental powers. Lost, Strayed or Stolen. A party of ten young folks from this city picniced atTwin Lakes Saturday. In the evening the company drove to Culver where they took part in the hilarities of the glorious Fourth. On their return trip to Plymouth there was lost one gentleman's felt hat (it-loss was not felt), a small slipper belonging to . a medium sized girl, and a general sense of direction was also lost by some members of the party. If any or all of the three above mentioned articles are found and returned to this office, a reward and manv thanks will be bestowed. A Leeper Park Team Defeated.

ISSUES ADDRESS TO H00SIERS

Under the head "By Their traits Ye Shall Know Them." the Republican state committee has issued an address to the peo ple, ot Indiana. the address 13 in the form of a pamphlet of six pages. j in the address the committee alludes to the fallacies of W. J. Bryan and draws comoarisons between Bryan and President Roosevelt. Among the many pertinent things discussed are the following: It häs been said Brvan and Roosevelt stand for the same thing. Nothing, is farther from the truth. They do not believe alike on one' single important poticai issue that has been before the people in the last decade. Roosevelt believes in sound money Bryan was for free silRoosevelt believes in laws con trolling trusts, railroad corporatins, etc. Bryan would have the Government buy up and own and run tlie railroads. "Roosevelt believes in meetine honorobaly and as a Christian nation the responsibility that came to us with the Philippines, when, in the prosecution of a just war, the American flag was raised in those islands. "Bryan would run awav from the responsibility, would haul down the American "flag and leave those islands to be the prey and spoils of petty chieftains at the head of undressed hordes of uncivilized warriors. "Roosevelt believes in tariff schedules that shall protect the product of American farms and American labor. "Bryan believes in a tariff for revenue only, such as brought panic and low prices vfor farm products and labor and.' threw thousands of men out of work the last time it was tried.) in the Democratic party today one man appears to be he single candidate the sole issue and the only hope.'Iii alluding to the fact that thousands of Democrats voted for Theodore Roosevelt the committee in its address says : None of these Democrats re gret that they voted for Roose velt. His administration has been a popular one. Had he been willing to accept the renomina9 tion he would be re-elected by, an overwhelming majority because the people believe in and indorse the policies which he stands for. rie refused a renomination as a matter of high principle. Thousands of conservative Democrats who voted for Roosevelt four years ago and who now believe in him more than ever will vote for Taft and Sherman." The state committee is also sending out a small boooklet con taining the indorsement of the members of the state committee and other leading Republicans of the state of W. H. Taft's candir1lr - T- : ,1 4- "Tl 1 dresses are being issued," said becretary Carl RKtdick of the state committee, "to show, that Indiana is satisfied with the nomination of Mr. Taft and that no soreness remains because In diana did not get just What she was after in the national conven tion."
