PAY YOUR TAXES EARLY.

New Accounting Law Imposes Added Labor in Treasurer's Office. On account of the new state accounting law requiring county treasurers to make out receipts for payment of taxes in duplicate, the county treasurer and his office force will not be able to wait on taxpayers as rapidly as heretofore, and therefore 'taxpayers should pay 'their taxes early and not wait until the last days of taxpaying. Heretofore the county treasurer lias been permitted to write tax receipts, tear them out of the receipt -hook ami file them away iri filing cases until taxpayers "paid them, which enabled the treasurer to wait on the tax pavers quickly and expediously. Under the new order of things the treasurer is calico to leave the receipts in the 1ook unjtil paid as the receipts are made out in duolrcate renuirincr the use of carlon, it will be impossible for more than one-third the number of people to be waited on in a dhv as under the osd way.

Before leaving Plvmouth, with her two adopted daughters. Mrs. Houghton occupied the residence now occupied by the family of John B. Bowell on Laporte street. Mr. Houghton died a few years ago, and was a resident of prominancc. The following account of the disasterous fire at Rockfbrdi, is in the Register-Gazette concerning the loss to Mrs. Houghton Families Have Close Call. Occupants of the third floor of the Groneman building had the closest call lo death by suffocation and as it was they escaped in very scant attire. The top floor oif this building was occupied! by Mrs. John W. Houghton and her 10 year old daughter, Miss Genevieve. Mrs. Houghton, who lost her husband a number of years ago, did dressmaking and also 'some painting for a living. As roomers in her apartments she trad a young couple; Mr and Mrs Brown, am l! C. P.

Mrs. Houghlton Iras been caring for the children with all the tenderness of a nrathtr, for Mr. Schei while he has been at work. Late Saturday afternoon she bathed them and was preparing to dress them that they might accompany their father to Beloit to spend Sunday. Miss Houghton had been ill with the grip and was about the apartment in her night garment. About (I o'clock she glanced out of th'e back window and saw a volume of smoke and men running about excitcdlv in the allev.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION RECEIVES INSTRUCTIONS ON M TO CONDUCT CAIRN FOR LIBRARY

Carl H. Milan, of State Library Commission, Explains of Raising Subscriptions and Securing City Tax port Institution Committees Are Appointed to Funds by Popular Subscription.

ADVANTAGE OF A PUBLIC LIBRARY 1. A fine public building, an ornament to the town. 2. An assmebly room, holding about 200 people, for clubs and all public meetings. 2. An assembly room holdroom for all, especially country people. This would be an advantage to all business men. I 4. Good books in reach of all. 5. A librarian to assist in all study. 6. A childrens fbom an advantage to mothers. 7. Good harmless books for the use of the boys and girls. 8. Teach the children to love books, rather than to be compelled lo read them, as in school. 9. A popular place for young men and boys to spend their evenings. 10. A place for every class of people No age limit as the school, no creed, no social standing as requirements. The only institution meant for every one's needs. Some libraries even have a smoking room where the working man may loaf and read in his old clothes as he comes from work with no danger of meeting those better dressed up. A library is a business proposition a necessity as well as the school is. The library could be a great help to the country schools as well as to the town if the township will help support it. Carnegie puts up the building where the people buy the lot and agree to raise annually a sum equal to one-tenth the cost of the building to support the library. Thus if Carnegie puts up a building costing $12,000, the town would raise the sum of $1,200 annually to pay all running expenses. This would be a tax of about 80 cents a year for the household of the average taxpayer he, who has taxable property assessed at $1,000, probably worth $2,000. Could anybody at any where near this cost supply his household with such advantages? The smaller tax payers would pay less and the childre of the poor would reap benefits they could not begin to have otherwise. The man of wealth would thus by a ridiculously small annual outlay of money be able to make his riches a blessing to those less fortunate. The committee of eighty ladies plan to make a thorough canvass of the town asking for something from every person in Plymouth and not for a large sum from anyone This money will be used to buy a lot on which to build a library. The amounts promised may be paid in quarterly installments for eight quarters, hence two years time will be given for the payment thereof. The committee will not turn down cash subscriptions however, and since the sums asked are to be small they will doubtless receive many cash gifts. The town has been divided into 25 districts and each organization is to be responsible for one district. This will give an average oC 3 blocks to each lady on the committee. The work will be begun next week and every one will be given a chance to make a subscription within the next two weeks. The next meeting of the committee will be held at 2:30 P. M. on Monday March 28, in the rooms' of the Apollo Club, being of the masculine persuasion are barred from serving as members of the committee, but they have shown their good will in this way.

"How to secure a Carnegie Public Library for the city of Plymouth, was ably explained to the associated Women's Clubs of this city, bv Carl H. Milam, of the State Library Commission at a meeting held by the Library Commission in the Girls' Club Rooms Friday afternoon. The state representative, amtresseu the ladies and answered interro gatories, from 2:30 o'clock until .i:00 thoroughly explaining the state law regarding the establish ment of a library and securing ot a citv and township tax, to- main tain the library Mr. .vlilam explained that he has learned that the city mayor anJ a majority of the councilmen are opposed to the Hibrairv mxjvement, and no doubt, would be adverse to plac ing: an additional tax for sup porting the same. The state law provudes 'however, tnaic wir.li a sufficient petition, and with the proper subscription, a city library commission can be appointed, who can take the matter from the hands of the council and' have supervision tf "the Library, its funds, taxes, etc. The tax can be Inaugurated by the court.

Work to Begin. A soliciting committee was ap pointed Friday. This commit tee wilt make a house to house. personal canvass of the city scek" inpr srJbscnntions for Wie propos ed library. In this manner, suffi cient fund for the purchase ot it.

Mr. Milam recommended, a .$P,000 library, which would necessitate an annual amount of .$1,1)0 for its maintainance. A committee wh.ch has been investigating sites for the location, reported yesterday, that there are a number in consideration, but which will be kept secret for the present. Meanwhilu the project

now devclopes upon the raising o'f funds, by popular subscriptions and otherwise. Subscriptions Promised. It was reported at the meeting that several business men of 'the city have already promised liberal subscription, after the movement is under way. With a tfew exceptions, the business men arc in favor of the library movement, and will irpjwrt it. The prospects from the start seem pnxpJtioius, hard work would tell, meanwhile everybody will boost. liesixles popular subscriptions, it is the plan of. the ladies to raise funds by entertainments, socials, benefits, etc., to be given through the summer and succeeding months. E'ery organization in the city, will be asked to lend its aid, morally and. financially. Organizations will He asked to give pledges, with two years time to pay the same, at quarterly installments. The ladies are ay oing to work with a zeal, and in spite of a number of attempted disrtwragements, are intent upon their purpose, rameK of building a handsome Public Library for Plymouth. Milam's Address. Mr. Miiam discussed at length, the benefits of a library, its cost of maintainance, manner of obtaining subscriptions, establishment olf ithe tax, etc. The following jK)ints were contained in Mn Milam's address: Carnegie Library Buildings in Indiana. Indiana ranks second among the states of the Union it is sail, in the number of 'gifts of money for public library buildings from Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Fiftyeight Indiana cities have accepted money from Mr. Carnegie to the amount at $1.i:0,000 and three Indiana cities have refused his offers, to the amount of $30.oon. Owing to the large number of cities in 'the state whim have received girts for library buildings, then? has been much discussion am! newspaper comment as to the success of Mr. Oarnegie's generosity as seen in library work in cities which has accepted Iiis money. Too many small communities have erected library buildings

Manner

to SupSolicit before these were needed and it is a question for a city to decide as itb the wisdom of accepting money from Mr. Carnegie or any one else, for a building, but it may be mentioned that -Mr. Car negie makes but two require ments when the jrtft is wished. First, that a. site for a building be provided, and second, that a financial support for library, be equal to ten per cent of his gifts, be provided annually by the city. niere may be little adverse criticism as to the annount of money which must be plodlged in the li braries annual support, tor 12 per cent is none too much ior the libraries' work. In considering: whether Carnegie libraries in Indiana are successful institutions or not, it must be realized that a library building is of small importance to a Library's success, or failure as compared tb the importance of the librarian. Specialty eredted buildings, if well planned, contribute to a library's success, however, and the attitude of a public in Indiana cities supporting library work in Carnegie buiklings can be ascertained. Several 'months ago the city of Kendallville in Noble county was considering the advisability olf accepting Mr. Carnegie's money for a building and 3G letters were written to Indiana cities. One copy of the letter was sent 'to a member of the library boani or to some respective citizen and a. second copy Was sent to the city treasurer. Some at the permanent questions asked were: Are objections made to the cost of maintenance of the library; do your citizens consider die expense money well spent : from your present experience would you again establish a library if without one? . The answers receivof were interesting and every letter from a member of the library lfcxard or rqiresentative citizen was enthusiastic in praise of what the library had done for the people and and the high appreciation in which it was held. Extract from some of these letters are as follows : "Would say most emphatically we wouU not do without our public library. We have found it the most potent influence to be exerted for the good of young and old." "Would not have it taiken away anv more than our public school." "Any man can get his moneys' worth if he encourages his family to make use of the library." "The burden of taxation should not be considered; it is si little compared with 'the passible benefits." "Delphi citizens consider the library a jxiying invettment, as necessary as our public 'schools, whose work it supplements. Our tax is not high enough to burden anyone and I know of no one, who would be willing to give up our new' library. "The library is more than justified its existence. As in most places where a library is first established we had some strong op. position from two or three large taxpayers, on the ground that the tax would be burdensome and not a necessity, but the oppositions rapidly disappeared and today everyone has words of praise for it. Of the thirty-six copies of the letter sent to city treasurer, replies were .Somewhat different. Twenty-eight answertJ that the benefit's of the library justified its expense, that the library tax was not a burden on the people and that the library wo.ild not be given up il this could be done. Of the remaining eighlt letters, four were from city treasurers, who were either Klbuibtful of library success or who sratekl they had no way of judging pulblic opinion and four reply that the libraries were burdens rather than blessing and they were not generally patronized. As two of these four opposing city treasurers lived in cities vhere two of the most active libraries were located, inquiry was made and was 'earned thait neither of the objectors had ever been in the library dining its existence.

William Waymire, who was found guilty of bigamy, by a jury, in the Marshall County circuit court, on Thursday, March 10th, and who after being returned to the jail here after receiving a sentence of two to five years in the Michigan City penitentiary, created a sensation by slashing his throat with a pocket knife, in an endeavor to Commit suicide, was taken to Michigan City Tuesday, to begin serving his term in the State Penitentiary. Waymire was accompanied by George H. Kruyer, as special deputy. The wound which Waymire inflicted in his throat in his attempt to end his life, healed quickly, and Tuesday he appeared to be as good a man as ever. Regretted the Act. A few days ago, Waymire told sheriff Voreis, that he regretted the attempt which he had made to end his life. The attempt was made with a dull rusty pocket knife, and consisted of a gash, one inch deep, and two inches wide, on the right side of the throat. The wound bared the windpipe, and stopped short of the jugular vein. It was thought for several hours, on the night that the attempted suicide was made, that Waymire could not live, but with the timely arrival of a local physician the man pulled through.
