PLYMOUTH METHODISTS BID FAREWELL
TO REV. PALMER - Over two hundred members of his congregation assembled at the M. E. church Wednesday evening to bid their pastor, Rev J. H. Palmer, a foml farewell and Godspeed. A very beautiful program consisting of addresses by various persons interspersed with instrumental and vocal music, was rendered. A touch of sadness permeated the farewell reception to Rev. Mr. Palmer,who has reached nearly the summit in the esteem of almost the entire congregation, which he leaves behind. It was 'realized by all present, that the key to the situation was hit upon "by Rev. Howard of St. Thomas Episcopal church, when he related in what ways the Episcopal clergy were more favored than their brother ministers of Methodism. "An Episcopal rector" said he "is chosen after due consideration of a committee from the church desiring a minister. Once he is assigned a congregation the Episcopal minister remains with it as long as he is in f.wor with the bulk of the congregation. A few kickers can not oust an Episcopal clergyman, as

Howard continued by remarking that one year was too short a per ul for a minister to become thor oughly acquainted with his con gregation.wais too short for a pas tor to gain the confidence of his charges in such a manner as to le able to properly advise them. The Episcopal minister concluded bv invoking the Methodist congregation to ignore the few eomolasiners in the church, and hold onto the next good man thev obtained for a minister. The proof of Rev.Palmer's pop ularity with the Methodist con gregatiort of Shis dity was at tested by the fact that last night's reception was attended by -the largest assembly that ever met in this city to bid a Methodist min ister goodbye. t he nrocrram rendered was as follows : Music by Sebold orchestra Vocal Solo Mr. Buss of Chicago Address Rev.

FIRST GUN OF CAMPAIGN IS FIRED IN MARSHALL COUNTY
Hon. Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, and United States Senator Hemenway Speak to Big Crowd at Opera House
Hon. Charles W. Miller of Goshen, Republican candidate for congress from this . district, and United States Senator James A. Hemenway, of Boonville.. opened the campaign in Plymouth Thursday evening in Centennial opera house. When the meeting was callectto order by Hon. George H. Thayer, every seat in the house was occupied and the doorways were crowded with voters anxious to hearevery word that was uttered. In a short speech, in which he reviewed the past good record of the Republican party in this district, Mr. Thayer introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. Charles W. Miller. Mr. Miller then spoke in part as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: , "We again appear .before the people in a great national campaign. I come as the representative of a party that came into power as an incarnation of an aroused public conscience, that came into being as a protest against the extension of slavery. I coine before you as the representative of a party that started right; that has continued to do right, and that will continue to do right in the future. "Our history has been practi cally the history of our country since the inauguration of our first President, who was the greatest of all great Americans living or dead Abraham Lincoln. "We today represent substanti ally the same policies, we advocate substantially the same doc trine that has done so much in the past to make our nation great; yes, we stand for the same ever lasting principles for which Lin coln stood. "During our first administra tion of the affairs of the government 'the bloodiest war of all the ages' was fought. We came out of that struggle with 'a nation without a slave and with a flag without a stain. "We wrought the problems of reconstruction. We have always stood fast for sound money and national honesty. We have always stood fast for the protection of American labor and American industry. We saw the nation pass safely over the line of the twentieth century, undivided and unsurpassed among the nations of the earth, and during all the time, in the language of William McKinley of Ohio, this government of ours 'never repudiated an obligation to its creditors or to humanity. It never struck, a blow except for humanity, and it never struck its colors.' - Our Candidates. "Our candidate for the presidency is the best equipped man ever nominated by any party at any time in the history of the nation, William Howard - Taft, of Ohio. He has seen much public service, he has served his country in many important capacities, and he has never failed anywhere. As a judge he reflected great credit and honor to the bench. . When William McKinley was called uion to select a man to solve the .reat prohlems of initial governmen in the Philippines, he and the leaders of his party, after considering all the strong men of the nation, selected William Ho wan! Taft. William McKinley and his advisers recognized in Taft combined courage, initiative, firmness and diplomacy in the highest degree, and they were not disappointed. 'in the Philippines he achieved
what seemed to be the unachievable. In the Philippines he found chaos, and he produced orderly government. He found nothing but a group of savage tribes, and he formed them into a nation. Yes, he did more ; he made for himself a place in history as one of the great pro-consuls,thc greatest colonial administrator of a century." "Before he went to the Philippines, besides holding minor positions, he was judge of the superior court, solicitor general of the Uuited States, federal judge of the sixth district. When he returned from the Philippines he 'was made secretary of war. He sat on the lid in all departments when the President of the United States was not in Washington. In fact, he was almost another president. "It was William H. Taft who so -successfully organized the forces for the building of the greatest work of all the ages, the Panama Canal. ; " It was William Taft who readjusted the relations between the United States and Japan. "It was William H. Taft who
carried tue message of peace around the world, and with the exception of t h a t strenuous American president of ours, he is the best-known man in public life in the whole wide world. "Is it any wonder that Theodore Roosevelt interested himself in the nomination of such a man as his successor ?Theodore Roosevelt wanted to be sure that the results of the great work for moral and economic reforms started and achieved in the last years ot his great administration were not lost, were not thrown away. "No one knew better than The odore Roosevelt to whom the work could be entrusted. The people accepted the analysis of Theodore Roosevelt, and William II. Taft is not only the nominee, but William IL Taft , will be the next President of the United States. "It was not Theodore Roosevelt alone as president of the United States that recognized the worth of our present standardbearer, because William H. Taft held valuable commissions under Janice A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley. "Suppose we leave Mr. Taft for a moment, and consider Mr. Bryan. We will not consider him in a partisan sense. We will not attack him. Abuse and slander will not answer for argument, and we frankly admit that Mr. Bryan is a good man and a good citizen. "Xow what ahout his public record? What public service has he rendered? How is he equipped, and what has he done? He was in congress of the United States for four years ; lie was a candidate for United" States Senator from Nebraska, and defeated. He has been twice defeated for President of the Uiiited States, and on the 3rd day of November next it will be 'three strikes, your're out, Mr.Bryan, ami the third battle is ended. There is this difference between our friend Mr. Bryan and our candidate, Mr. Taft: Taft is a ball player, he always hits the ball, but Bryan always fails when he 'comes to bat.' "Again I say, you know what Mr. Taft has done what he has accomplished, what experience he has had, what positions he has so ably filled. You know what Mr. Bryan has done, o" rather, what (Continued to page 8.)
DUST KILLING HORSES THAT WORK ON ROADS
Nine dead of lung trouble in Hamilton County. During the last three days nine horses that were employed on gravel road construction in Hamikon county have died fronT the effects of breathing dust. Their lungs were filled with the powdery stuff, the result of working in clouds of it day after day. Veterinary surgeons say there is no doubt the horses died from lung trouble produced by the dust and such cases are said to be rare. Some teamsters have taken their horses off gravel road work because of this danger, and. several of the contractors are sprinkling the roads with water before they are worked. It has been sixty-nine days since it has rained in that locality. Du'st is several inches deep on the roads. Corn is beyond help, and because there is no pasture dairies' have increased the price of milk. It is .estimated thalt there will be less than half a crop of corn. Because of the prospects of a shortage of corn, okLcorn is selling at 92 cents and new corn in the field recently sold for $42 an acre, the highest price ever paid in that county. IT MAYBE OUR FORGER SWINDLER CAUGHT PASSING WORTHLESS CHECKS AT LAPORTE SAME SCHEME WHICH WAS WORKED HERE. George Miller, an innocent looking la1)ormg man, was arrested in Laponte Saturday night charged -with passing four forged checks on four meat ealers. He pleaded not guilty Monday morning and was held under $500 bonds to the circuit court. He was captured by William Piest, abutcher who cashed one of the chteeks, after giving tire man 50 cents worth of meat. Wlven captured a pal was with Miller. He got away and in chasing him an hour later, Office Amos Wesson-was caught in the neck by a guy wire and in the fall that resulted he sustained a broken shbulder blade. Miller is 35 years old and -when arrested had $38 on his person. The checks bore the forged signature of E. E. Harding. The scJiemie worked by Miller is identical -with the one which trapped Plymouth merchants on the night of Saturday, Sept. 5th, when five Plymouth merchants were swindled by cashing worthless checks. Tbe identical points are, in both instances the checks wvre drawn for amounts ranging from $G.50 to $8.00. 'Hie checks were passed on Saturday night, and a farmer's name was used in each--instanc, the swindler stating that he had been working for the farmer. As at Laporte the fakir used"George" for his first name, his last being "Thomas" here. Officials are taking steps to identify the LaPorte prisoner. Anderson Grover Nuptials. v Mr. Carl E.

WL1LIAM RISH IS A SURE HERO
PLYMOUTH MAN MAKES HEROIC BALLOON ASCENSION AT MILITIA I RETURNS HOME. Company I, the local militia returned from a ten days' encampf ment at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Saturday night. The Plymouth boys, as well as the enfre 3rd Indiana regiment distinguished themselves for their bravery, in the many skirmishes and battles which were waged. That baloons can be used suecessfully in modern warfare as well as for the amusement of Plymouth people was demonstrated at the camp of instruction Friday when Col. Edwin P. Thayer's novel plan for the biggest battle of the maneuver season) was car ried out perfectly by William F. Rish, Company I, Third Regi ment, Indiana National Guard. In a fine fiight, Rish soared about three-fourths of a mile nign where ne secured-a line on the enemy's position without difficulty. After an aerial ride of ten minutes he dropped in his parachute and gave warning to a courier that the Blues would at tack the extreme left of the Brown line. Riding as rapidly as possible, the messenger notified v-xI.fc,dwin P. lhayer, command ing the Third Regiment, on the extreme right. The Colonel sent a wireless telegram of warning to the First Regiment, Indiana, stationed at the point of danger. iieut. kxi. i.j.L,ouoen, uioomington, who had been placed in command of troops by Col. Geo. XV. McCoy in the special position, sent for reinforcements and Col. George R. Cecil arrived with the lentil Infantry just in time to as sist the Hoosiers in the most sensational finish of -an 'exciting bat tle. The fray between the First Regiment and the Tenth Infantry against the Ihud Battalion. Twenty-seventh Infantry, and the West Virginnia troops were within the shadow of the famed Baker's bridge. The officers at first were in clined to believe that Col. Thayer had made a 'grand stand play. When the airship was seen from the battle field, however, "time" was called and the soldiers forgot their work and regular army offi cers were amazed. Thev compli mented Col. Thayer highly on his originality and the "stunt" will go on record as the feature of the maneuver season. The "sky pilot," as the soldiers affectionately call their chaplain, the Rev. W. G. Everson, pastor of the College Avenue Baptist church, Indianapolis, was largely responsible fotthe success of the balloon undertaking. He carried Col. Thayer s plan to completion and looked after all the details. The chaplain raised $10U to cover the expense of the scheme and had charge of the-special details of fifty men which managed the ascensions. Congressman Jesse Overstreet who was a guest of Maj. George H. Penrose, chief quartermaster, was greatly interested in the balloon operations Mr. Overstreet was almost "fatally- wounded" when the balloon first appeared over the tree tops. His eagle eye caught it before the "recess was called, and while "rubbering" to see what would happen soldiers in ambush mistook him for an "enemy in disguise" and blazed away. The congressman had never witnessed a maneuver at the camp of instruction before and greatly enjoyed the visit.
HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS FOREST FIRES WHICH SWEPT THE COUNTRY
The terrible work of the flames which have burned over and destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of timber and property to the value of .millions in the Lake states, recalls" to memory other great forest fires which have attained historic importance One of the earliest of these was the great Miramichi fire of 1825. It began its greatest destruction about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of October 7 of that year, at a place about sixty miles above the town of Newcastle, on the Miramichi river, in New Brunswick. Before 10 o'clock at night it was twenty miles below Newcastle. In nine hours it had destroyed a belt of forest eighty miles long and twenty-five miles wide. Over more than two and one-half million acres. Almost every living thing was killed. Even the fish were afterwards found dead in heaps on the river banks. Five hundred and ninety buildings were burned, and a - number of towns including Newcastle, Chatham and Douglastown, were destroyed. One hundred and sixty persons perished, and nearly a

Word was received in this city Saturday night of the death of Mrs. Charles Snow, which occurred Monday, Sept.14, at her home near Weiner, Arkansas. The family had formerly resided on what 'is known as the Miles farm two miles south of this city, until about eighteen years ago, when they purchased a farm in Pointsett county, Arkansas and removed there.

The loss from the Miramichi fire is estimated at $300,000, not including the value of the timber. In the majority of such forest fires as this the destruction of timber is a more serious loss, by far, than that of the cattle and buildlnings, for it carries with it the impoverishment of a whole region for tens or even hundreds years afterwards. The loss of the stumpage value of the timber at the time of the fire is but a small part of the damage to the neighberhood. The wages that would have been earned in lumbering, added to the value of the produce that would have been purchased to supply the campsand the taxes that would have been devoted to roads and other public improvemenits.furnfish a much truer measure of how much, sooner or later, it costs a region wh'en its forests are desrtroyed by fine.
