The reason is that the contract for the construction of the famous Yelltaw river ditch, to be letft in the office of coumtiy surveyor, Wm. dl. Englis-h, at 1:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The dredge is the famous Yellow river ditch, requiring the deepening and straightening of Yellow -river for aboui twelve miles. The dredge includes tt'he removal of tfie old mill dam, in the Zehner Park. The dredge will be the JEVNE WAIVES ARRAIGNMENT LAD ADMITTED STEALING MONEY FROM THE KRUYER FRUIT STORE. Returned Ten Dollars of Money Taken Also Admitted Stealing of Motor-Cycle and Burglaries. Harold Jevne the sixteen year old lad, charged with one grand larceny, -.ne peitiit larceny, and two "burglaries, who was brought from Chicago, byDetective Lieutenant Bates, of the PeH'iusylvama railroad company, was broifght bciorc Justice oii tne Peace D M. Seybold, for preliminary hearing, Wednesday monimiig. The lad was not represented 'by an attorney, but when it was explained that he could plead guil'ty, stanU preliminary trial or waive prelima-nary ex ami-nation, by S. N. Stevent, attorney Tor fhe Pennsylvania company, t?he lad pleaded nft gtiUty, and waived preliminary examination'. His bond was fixed in the simn of $300, wlwoh he wiH attempt to ecu re 'from relatives, The first charge which Jevne faces' will be that cf grand larceny, for t'be titelt cti the motorcycle from .the office of the Plymouth Tribune 011 last Saturday nfighr. Jevne admitted to the detective who accompanied him from Chi cago Tiresdlay aftenuoon that he had stolen Phe biciyvle, liad entered both the L. E. & W. and Pennsylvania ticket'ofTkes and finally admitted that he stole the money bag, from the cash drafwer of the Sun Fruit and Candy- spore, owned 'by George II. Kruyer, a ivw days ago, note of which was rrndc in this paper. When arrested, Jevne "had some $14 'on his person, which lie could not satis'faotorily account for. He finally admitted t'hat $10,23 of t'he money, was part c-f what was taken from the money t:.M of t'he canUly store. The proprieto of the store says that at least $20 wa contained in rlie bag sttolcn. Entered Store from Rear. To George Kruyvr, Jevne related Tuesday eventing, .how- he took the money bag irv-m the -cash till. He said .hat 'iie entered the -store! from the back door, to make a purchase. He found no one in the room, and could see none cf the clerks about. His glance fell on the money drawer and it required only a second to open it, and pull out the bag. He depart ed, as he entered, through the "back door. Asked About Motor-Cycle; Jevne asked why the motor-cycle went stuck on him a mile sonit'h of Lapaz. Upon being toid that he had neglected to ifumish the machine with hforicatitig oil, he replied that he oiled it three or four trnies. The oiling t appears, was done Ifrom the outside wit(h a sma.1'1 can, instead Of by the rrmp provided for ithat purpose. It is ilmost a certainty that if the lad had understood t'he oiiTiug of the machine, he would 'have -saifely reached Olui-raig-o with it. Not a Juvinile. Jevne is over the jnvinrle age, and will 'be tried in circuit court. He states that be was sixteen years of age last September Entertained at Walkerton. (Mrs. Grovcr SpaJir, fomerly Miss Lucy MoFarlin, returned from Walkerton Friday evenirt, where she has been spending a few days - with her husöand.

The game was full of errors, and no -scores were mads by the visiters until the sixth inning. The lotcals pounded the visitors for a dozen or more hits, until the batter y, and infield lineup was changed. The hitting continued. Middleton was in usmal good form, but the baloon went up a couple of times, accounting for the high score. Whittaker Improving Steadily. W. H.

largest ever cons'Lructed in thi-s ox surrounding counties. The report of A. C. North, the construction engineer, estimated the cost of the dredges to be $42,000. Threshed Out in Court. The case hns been threshed out in the 'Marshall circuit, and Siiprerre Court of the state, by remonistrators against the dredge. A recent decision by the supreme con.irt, denying the Zehner heirs a rehearing, was the completion, and last battle in the case, which was lost by the remonstrators. It is possible that the dredging oi Yellow river may be begun by the contractor, yet this summer. TAFT DISCUSSES THE v TARIFF DEVOTES MOST OF DAY DISCUSSING PROSPECTIVE ACTION OF CONSFEREES.

AMERICAN NAVY

SECOND BEST AGGREGATE TONNAGE OF U. S. WAR VESSELS IS 685,000. Uncle Same Stands Next to Bull in List of Fighters. John (Special to Warsaw Daily Union.) Washington, July 19. The American navy today ranks second among the naval powers of tflie world, OnlyGreat Britain surpa-sses it. France, which for many years has held second place, "h'as given; way to the United States Avhile Germany, long a rival of the United 'States, is also 'surpass ed. The wonderful strides made by the Un?ted States navy are f et forth hy a statement just prepared by the navy department. It give t'he rating of the wiarld tn'avall powers. Great Britain maintaining its policy of supporting a navy eq'ua! to the combined forces of the two strongest naval powers, easily' iboüds first place. In the 'table prepared "by the navy department the United States fs ranked third, but on the basis of ltihe fleet as it exists toddy the United States would be second. Only when vessel's under otnstruetion are included' in the estima;c does Franice .surpass the United States table it gives a total which purs cur navy tin second place, with a clear lead over France. The righting ships of the American navy aggregate fhe enormous total of 683,000 tons'. Other vessels embracing a tonnage of 135,000 are tinder construction. The tofal tonnage, built and building, aggregate 820,000. The best France can show against tlvis is built C29.00O tons; bnilding, 112,000 tons; total &01t000 tons. Germany which hats long been a source of -worry to the government has ' cm cTis'fcanced iby the United States in the ma'tter of naval strength. The kaiser has a total tonnage available U present of 524,000 tons. He ha's building 69,000 tons of warsdips, giv'tfg him a total force of C3,00() tons. At the tme of the Spanrsh-Ameirican var, Germany's navy was much tronger than that of ie United State. The great boom given to our navy If oil Lowing the struggle with Spain resiuTted in overhauling Germany. The total tonnage of Japane-e warships, built and building, is not much more than haflf that of the United States. It aggregates 445,00-) tons. Most of this, however, represents finished vessels as Japan has only 73,000 tons of warships under construction. In compiling the lighting power f a navy, the most important factor is battleship strength. Here the United States Navy' shows up in an cseca'LIy gtra'tifyng manner. 'More than "o per cent of its tonnage is repteenteiJ by ships of the battle line. Of 'he total tonnage of 820,000, 450,000 :cns represent battleships of fhe first class. 'France has a battleship tonnage of 330,000, Germany 350,000 and Tapan. only 190,000 tons. The vess'eis represented by this tonnage are as follows: United States, 31 France 24; Germany 2S; Japan 13. Great Britain also realizes the val.te of battleships although her percentage of tonnage is less than that of :he United States. Of a total tonnage vf warship's, built and building, aggregating 1,872,000, only SGG,000, or es than 50 per cent is made up of Hrst class battleships. Great Britain has sixty-eight of these fighters.

It wa deeded that for the present St. Joseph' county must get along without them. Elkhart county commissioners recenit'ly arrived at a similar decision.
