HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH AT RAILROAD CROSSING
Train Kills Horse Driven by Orville Jones, Smashes Buggy and Threw Driver Twenty Feet.
Orville Jones, aged 20 years, while returning to his home, eight miles north-east of Plymouth, from this city Monday night was struck by a fast freight at the Stephenson crossing, four miles east, and narrowly escaped with his life. The horse which he drove was killed, and the buggy smashed up badly. Young Jones was thrown atout twenty feet, and that he had escaped with his life, is considered miraculous. Excepting for a slightly wrenched back, and a few minor scratches and bruises, Jones escaped unharmed. He is badly shaken up over his experience, and has hardly recovered from the shock. Had Been in Plymouth. Young Jones resides with his father, two miles east of Inwood. He has a brother, Louis Jones, ATTEND EASTERN STAR MEETING PLYMOUTH LADIES ATTEND ANNUAL SESSION AT INDIANAPOLIS. Between 700 and 800 Representatives From State Expected at Grand Chapter. Mesdames William English, H L. Singrey, Harry Humrichouser, F. J. Bussard and daughter, Miss May me, left for Indianapolis on Tuesday morning to attend the annual session of the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star, which . opened with a reception at the Dennison hotel in that city that night. Seventeen members of the Valparaiso chapter joined the Plymouth delega tion here Tuesday, enroute to Indianapolis. The question of the incorporation of those who have been interested in the collection of a fund for a home for the aged members of the order likely will be one of the business matters that will be taken up. There has been a movement on foot for some years . to secure sufficient funds to maintain such a home, and already a substantial sum has been realized. There is a desire on the part of, the members to incorporate and proceed with the work of raising the money, and it is likely that the question will be settled .definitely at this session. There are 282 chartered chapters now in the state, and 13 others which are under dispensation. The question of issuing a charter to the latter also will be taken up. It is thought that about 700 or 800 representatives will attend. Eight Grand Chapter officers will be elected. They are grand matron, grand patron, associate matron and associate patron; grand secretary, grand treasurer, grand conductress and associate conductress. Blubaugh-Klingerman Marriage. Frederick E. Bluebaugh, and Miss Stella Klingerman, were married by Rev. John Tremmel at St. Michael's Catholic church, Monday morning. The bride is the daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Jas. Klingerman, and the groom & the son of Airs. Catherine Bluebaugh. Both are well known young people of this city. The young married couple left for Nuth Bend this morning, where they will spend a few days, be fore returning to this city, where they will make their future home. Mr. Bluebaugh is employed at ihe F. A. Forbes Feed Store. Dill and Maxey. Dr. Knott went over to Chicago Tuesday to visit John Dill and Mr. George A. Maxey, both of whom he took to the hospital two weeks ago. Mr. Maxey had h: left leg amputated and is making fine recovery. It was determined Tuesday as to whether it would be advisable to employ a surgical operation in the hope of giving Mr.Dill any relief from his paralysis. He is completely paralyzed from his hips down as a result of injuries received in the wood last December. Death of Freda Long. Freda, the ten-year-old daughter of Wm. Long of Portland, Ind.. died in this city Wednesday noon, and was taken by her father to Portland for burial Thurs
day.
I i in
who resides in south Plymouth. Orville, had come to Plymouth Sunday afternoon, and hitched his horse at a local barn. He spent the afternoon with friends here, and started for his home about 10:30. When he reached the Stephenson crossing, a freight was coming from the east for which he waited to pass, and then drove out to the crossing. A double header freight from the west was coming under high speed, unnoticed by the driver. The railroad makes a turn south, just west of the crossing, and thus the headlight of the train from that direction was not seen. The noise of the east bound train made it impossible to hear the
other tram. The first engine of the eastbound train, struck the horse, full on its side Jones heard the crash, so he says, and in an instant found himself lying south of the tracks, twenty feet away. When he could arise, and found that no bones were broken he searched for his rig, and found the horse badly mangled, and dying. The buggy was smashed, and laying beside the tracks. Counts Close Call. Jones counts his escape, as a close call, and is puzzled as to exactly how it happened. The horse killed, was a small westerner, three years old. The buggy was in a good condition. GIRL BRIDE SUICIDES. Because Husband Failed to Kiss Her Good-bye She Kills Herself. Hammond, Ind., ' April 22. Because her husband, Thomas Adelsperger, failed to kiss her good-bye.

Goodbye. Your tired, tired girl. Lena Marrs. Please, I would like to be buried in Ludington. The shot was heard by Miss Lena Eckman, who notified the autfihrities. Mrs. Adelsperger had been married three weeks. She was the daughter of a wealthy resident of Ludington, Mich., and friends say she was homesick. Her maiden name was Lena Marrs. Bloody Ninth Gets Credit. Gen. I. C. B. Suman and Adjt. Stephen P. Hodsden have been corresponding with Archibald Gracie, of Washington, D. C, a former Confederate brigade comnander, who is writing a histoiy of the battle of Chickamauga. In lis book Mr. Gracie will give the NTinth Indiana regiment, of which Gen.

Option Workers in St. Joseph County Want 7.000 Names Before Calling Election. Although only 4,000 names are necessary to bring about a local option election in St. Joseph county, the Anti-Saloon League will not stop circulating its petition. The idea is to procure at least 7,000 signatures, and as a means of bringing this about a meeting of all the women of South Bend has been called for next Friday at the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization to be krown as the Woman's Local Option League erf South Bend. The women will be called upon to carry petitions into their own homes and induce all voters under their roof to sign. If St. Joseph county goes over to the drys, three breweries, with an invested capital of $800,000, will practically be forced out of business, ao nine-tenths of their business is local. Circus Trust in Fight. A "flying squadron" of Barnum & Bailey circus billposters arrived unexpectedly at Logansport Monday and spent the day in blazoning on billboards and barns the coming of the circus. The Hagenbeck & Wallace combined shows are booked there April 27 and all the Barnum & Bailey bills which have been posted say: "Wait for Barnum & Railey's Greatest SIioav on Earth." Ringling Brothers, in like manner, jumped into Kokomo, where Wallace is booked and a stiff fight is being put up there. Both Ringling and the Barnum & Bailey shows belong to the circus trust. Wallace's No. 1 car is Only two weeks ahead of the show, and this is because he does not want to lei the trust find out his route. Gary Suffers From Option. Mayor Tom Knotts, of Gary, in an interview upon the effect of prohibition in his own town says: "The closing of saloons will do much to retard the growth of our city and already has resulted in the loss of millions of dollars in property valuations But the saloons are closed for a year and they are going to be kept closed. We expect to have trouble with the "-blind pigs' but we'll put them out of business, too. A year ago we had 10G saloons in the city and collected $11,000 a year from them. The. loss in revenue will be felt and I believe our citizens will put the saloons back in business again next year." The records of the four drug stores in Gary showed an alarming increase in stomach ailments and "colds" in the dtv. The druggists insist they are selling liquor for "medicinal purposes only," however.
OLD TIMEPIECE.
Clock on Exhibition at Losey Jewelry Store is 101 Years Old. An interesting relic, is an antique clock, on exhibition in the display window of the J. R. Losey Jewelry store. The timepiece is the property of Joseph Sapp of this city, and was brought from Kentucky by his parents many years ago. The clock is made from the pattern of the Eli Terry clock, the first timepiece made, which worked successfully. All of the -wheels and frame of the clock are made of wood, excepting the escapement. The wood is hard as bone, probably due to ageing, and when an attempt was made to engrave it, was found to be hard as rock. The face of the clock has been removed to 9haw the wooden works.

Yager preaching the funeral of Mrs. George Wright Friday brought out the history of the church in its beginning, showing that it 'was organized in 1872 when the original church was located near the Wilderness school. Five couples of the neighborhood viz: Mr. and Mrs. ueorge Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan us "Bucknian, Mr. 'and Mrs. Peter Rightley, Mr. and William Horner and Mr. and Mrs. George Carlisle were the charter memfbers under the leadership of Rev. Long. One by one this little 'band have been gathered by the grim reaper until now with the death of Mrs. Wright but one remains Mrs. Rightley who was able at the age of 88 years to be present at the funeral of this associate and neighbor of so many years. The church building in which this little band began was, -some twenty years ago removed to this city and was sold to the Wesleyans when Rev. O. F. Landis of blessed memory by his herculean efforts secured the erection of the present splendid church home on South Michigan street and where Rev. Yager is doing much good in his kindly way, that has won him the esteem and love of all. May good continue to come from this small beginning throughout the many years to come. Mind Fully Recovered. As the result of an operation which removed a portion of the skull from the brain Eugene Dillcy, who is now recovering his strength and trying to "catch up with the world again," as he terms it, at his home in Trafalgar, Ind., has been restored to life. He gropes for the lost days but is unable to account for them. A half year is perfectly blank in the memory of the once well-to-do Indiana school teacher He is however, certain of one thing a new mind. He feels as he never felt before, animated and bright, and his mind is as clear as in the old days when he taught school. His face shows expression, which it lacked when he was first discovered after his "living burial." "If you want to find how fast the world moves just drop out of it for a time," he said as he sat contentedly in his little home with Mrs. Dilley beside him and the children playing about them. And those six months Dilley shudders yet when he tries to recall them. All that he remembers is a constant, dull pain in the head, which never allowed him more than a few hours' sleep each night.

FEDERATED
HOLD FIRST
Delegates Present from Federated and Non Federated Clubs in Seven Counties Constitution Adopted.
RESPONSE. Madam Chairman and Members of the Saturday Club: ' We, the club members of the thirteenth district, heartily thank you for this gracious welcome. Plymouth is known for the hospitality and cordiality of its citizens. All political conventions of the District are being held here and it is fast gaining the reputation of a convention city. You have inspired us 6 anew with noble incentive and we feel sure our labors will be made most pleasant during our stay. We have assembled from all parts of the district for the purpose of devising the best methods of Club improvement. Club life seems only to broaden our calling, for the need of the human race is for a harmonizing , of ideals. How necessary that we should be educated for the task before us! The voice of a woman must be heard for she is wielding an influence for good that must be recognized Then let us do our duty in the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in some great battle for vie- r toi7"do the duty which lies nearest thee," and when we do the best we can, the humblest of us will be achieving the highest ideal of life and char- ' acter, and as I greet you today.I am impressed with the truth, that back of all our interests and aspirations for a higher club life there is one interest which binds us together more closely, that , interest centers in the home. May all the deliberations of this meeting be harmonious as we believe they will be and the resuits for our best interests. May we find our, task worth doing, may we establish higher standards in the world, and may we make life real, earnest and successful. y We again assure our hostesses of our appreciation of proffered courtesy, lchowing all the thought and care you have taken for our coming, again I thank you. Mrs. Wm. Conrad of Warsaw, 1st Vice President of Indiana. The first annual meeting of the 'Association of Federated Clubs of the Indiana Thirteenth Congressional district, convened at the K. P. hall in this city Thursday morning. 'Hie time set for the meeting was 10.30, but'owing to the lateness in the arrival of some delegates, the meeting was not opened until about 10.45. After an invocation, Mrs. Phoebe Willey of Plymouth, district chairman opened the meeting with introductory remarks. In a short talk Mrs. Willey explained the nature and purposes of the meeting. The meeting, was called for the purpose of perfecting an organization of federated clubs in the thirteenth district" said she. Already seven of the thirteen districts in the state of Indiana' have held their district meetings, and have formed permanent organizations. Today, the Thirteenth district will form an organization for the purpose of promoting club interests throughout this district." After a few more words, explaining how the district chairman was elected at the state meeting and telling the ladies that the meeting was in their hands, Mrs. Willey concluded her remarks. The words of welcome weTe spoken by Mrs. Jesse Toan Brooke, of the Saturday Club of the district meeting Thursday. Mrs. Brooke addressed the assembly as follows: "In behalf of the Saturday Club of Plymouth, I extend a most cordial welcome to you, each and all. Especially do we extend warm personal greetings to our honored state officers and to the club women of the 13th district. Wc desire that you may find nothing lacking upon our part in hospitality or kindly feeling and that the utmost good fellowship shall prevail. "For your pleasure as our
S

L guests we can wish for nothing greater than that it may be com mensurate with our desire to please. Eddies Friends We bid you .welcome." Complimentary Response. In most complimentary terms, Mrs. William Conrad of Warsaw, First Vice-President of the State Federation, responded a above noted. Against Huge Bill Boards. Mrs. O. P. Kinsey of Valparaiso, a past state president, -ras present, and spoke before the meeting. She said that she had just returned from a trip to Mexico, and described the lowly condition of the women in that country, and the great work which was before them for their uplifting. She had intended to be a listener at this meeting," she said, "but always seemed to be given an opportunity to speak. The one object in federating clubs should be in order that the women may become acquainted with each other and form a more perfect fellowship in the district, state and nation All that rwe can do in this world, is to help eachother, and every woman should keep that ida in mind. One thing that I would like to speak against", continued Mrs. Kinsey, "is the defacement of the beautiful scenery of the country by. large hideous billboards. In my long trip from Mexico to Indiana, I remember of one sign in particular, a tobacco sign, which desecrated the landscape on the sides of the railroad, across the country. You women, if you have husbands who chew tobacco, sho-ild all prevail upon them not to chew that brand, you know of what I refer. I am not adverse to tobacco particularly, but certainly do despise to see the symmetry of our green fields destroyed by such ugly posters. That is one thing "which we might all give our attention to." Mrs. Kinsey's vigorous talk was received with applause, and the confirmed nods of her hearers, displayed the womanly attitude toward such methods of advertising. Reports From Counties. In following out the program reports from the chairmen of the various counties of the Thirteenth district were received. Mrs. Ella New, representing Fulton county, reported that there were two federated clubs in Rochester, the Wonan's Club of which she was a Member, and the University Association. There are a number of clubs in the county which do not belong to the Federation. The work of the two above clubs are literary, and civic purely. The work done by the Woman's club and the history thereof, would be too long to enter into at this time. Kosciusko county was represented by Mrs. Nettie P. Helpman. She reported that there were fourteen clubs in that county, seven of which were federated. The clubs are located as follows, Warsaw 6, Leesburg 1, Winona 1, Syracuse 2, Milford 2, Pierceton 1, and Silver Lake 1. Of these the Clio Literary, Warsaw Reading, Veloma, and Zerelda Reading of Warsaw, The Winona Literary of Winona, and the Columbian Reading Circle, and the Sorosis of Milford, are federated. Miss Alice C. Klinger reported for Marshall county. Only one federated club is here, the Saturday, of Plymouth. Two other organizations, the Mozart, and Civic, are considering joining the federation. In Bremen there is one Literary club. In Argos, Bourbon and Culver, there are no such organizations, but the time and conditions are ripe for establishing clubs in each of those towns. Mrs. Maud Mooreman the county chairman from Starke county was absent, and Mrs. Larman of Knox, reported that there was one federated club in that county, which was the newest member in the federation, having joined but two weeks ago. Five delegates were present from Starke county, representing besides the federated club, two non-federated, the Musical and Literary clubs of Knox. Elkhart county was represented by Mrs. H. V. Fish. There are three Federated clubs there, one in Goshen and two in Elkhart city. The Goshen club is the Beacon Lights, the Elkhart clubs are Woman's and Thurs-
