TELEPHONE No. 17. OFFICE Centennial Opera House Block. Mf West LaPortc Street. atcd at the Poatefiee at Plymouth, Inttaaa as aecond-clam mtter. Plymouth, Indiana, July 28, 1910. TAFT AT WINONA. President Will Speak at Lake, Near Here on August 30. Indianapolis, Ind., July 23. President Taft will speak at Winona, August 30, it was announc ed today at Republican state headquarters and he is expected to have something: to say in answer' to the attacks of United States Senator Beveridge and other "insurgents" upon the Payne-AJdrhoh tariff law. Republican leaders that had been somewhat troubled since Mr. Taft cancelled an mutation to speak in Indianapolis after the Republican state convention had not endorsed the administration tariff law, were particularly pleased at the news that he would make a speech in Indi ana before the tfa3l election. Governor Hughes of New York also has consented to making one or two speeches in the state during the campaign. SALE OF BAD ' EGGS MUST END STATE HEALTH BOARD OF INDIANA GIVES DEALERS WARNING. Act of Department Comes As Climax to Conditions Which Have Grown Worse Indianaoph's, Ind., July 25. Following widespread complaint regarding the circulation of bad eggs and the whole sale violation of the egg clause Of the state pure food and drug law, the state board of health has sent to the produce dealers in the city marked copies of the pamphlet containing the provisions prohibit ing the safie of spoiled eggs and prescribing penalties for violation of the law. The act comes as a climax to a situation which has been growing worse daily as week after week of hot -weather has increased the percentage of bad eggs in the market and the difficulty of keeping eggs fresh until they reach the consumer. Realizing the danger in which all those who dealt in produce, were involved, should the state board of health start an aggressive campaign, a dealer in the city sent a request to the board for accurate information on the egg flaw. " The sending out of the pamphlets to the produce men is practically a warning which, it is expected, will be conveyed by these dealers to shippers of eggs aSl over the . state. Welcome to Produce Men. The warning ds, on the whole, a welcome oirc to produce men who Wave had to contend with perhaps the worst condition in years in the egg market. Conservative estimates of the number of actually rotten eggs in a case of 30 dozen ran all the way from one to six or seven dozen, whilt the number visibly and seriously affected by the hot weather often number over half the case. Under prevailing conditions the shipper openly and brazerily vio lates the law by selling these tggs and Indianapolis markets have in a way aided hnn to carry on his traffic by buying all eggs sent to the city and afterward candling them. The action of the state board will very probably result in the first place in wide-spread adop tion of quoting prices for eggs on a loss-off basis. This means that no dealer will accept atl the eggs that come from the shipper as they come, but will quote prices he is) wiiEnng to pay for only good eggs. Before paying the shipper for his consignment he will candle the eggs, or better yet, require the eggs to be candl ed before shipment. The blame for any marketing whatsoever of bad eggs will thus be shifted back one step nearer the original lv guilty "honest farmer" who takes eggs out of incubators and sells them to hucksters or ship pers in the small town. Dies While on Honeymoon. Wbfflef on her wedding trip, tMrs. Lester Porter Warford, wife of the Rev. Mr. Wafford, pas-tor of the rirst Presbyterian drurdhi of Cando, X.

CITY IS FILLED WITH PEO PLE ATTENDING WAL-LACE-HAGENBECK SHOW HERE. Press Agent Atkinson Says That Very Few Accidents Have Occurred During Present Tour. There was a circus in town Tuesday, a fact plainly evident by the hundreds of pcopic who crowded the streets. The Hagenbeck and Wallace circus arrived in this city from Valparaiso at about 4 a. m. Many people were on hand to watch the unloading of the cars, which took place along the Pennsyl vania tracks at the Fifth street crossing in west Plymouth. The tents were pitched on tiie Molter ground, the big canvas being the last up. The horse tent, which contains more than 300 of the finest draff horses owned by any circus, and the mess tents were the first put up and were in place before 8 o'clock. Ihe parade, which was billed for 10 o'clock was a little late but the crowds of people waited patiently, for its appearances .were well repaid. The parade was one of the best ever seen in Plynuutii. Idie bands, wagons, de corations ami the people and horses were all above the aver age. 'Hie streets were crowded ear ly in the forenoon, farmers with their women folk, beginning to arrive in the city at an early liour. The livery and feed barns were taxed in pmviding for the hundreds of horses, and the streets were crowded with vehicles. It was evident early in the dav that the farmers had decided to drop their work in the fields long enough to see the cir cus. The three railroads did a big business, many extra cars being necessary for the accommodations of the persons who came to see the show from other towns. t Geo. Atkinson, press agent said the show has had very few accidents this season and bias enjoyed phenomenal business this year. He says the evening performance will be a complete one and in one feature will be out of the ordinary. Contrary to the usual circus custom not a stake will be pulled until the very last feature Of the program is finished and patrons are thus assured of an uninterrupted entertainment. A few of the many features in the three rings and two stages which pleased everybody present were the Hermans and Merodia troupe of bicycle experts who fill the two stages with pretty girl's, cute chiildren and darling riders. Thiarieron's dogs and ponies are great and pleased all. The Knos troupe of globe performers perform wonderfn stunts on rolling globes. The Reuzettas are a cflcver gymnastic duo. Kelley and King are funny aerial artists as well as daring performers. The IaMont family and the Sutton troupe of lady acrobats are the best ever seen in our city. Percy Phillip's has wonderful control over the monster herd of elephants. The big aerial acts include the eight Delnos, the three Rutherfords, the four Tasmain sisters and the six revolving Vortex siisters. The Misses Connors, Clifford, Kelley, MrsiaCco and Stokes are beautiful girls who ride thorough bred, high sichool horses in a fearless manner. The Carl Hagenbeck's trained wild animals perform wonderful stunts in a large steel arena and are fully up to the Hagenbeck standard.

G RGUS DAY IN PLYMOUTH ORIS CROWD

TAX LEVY MAY

BE RAISED INSTITUTIONS WILL COST MUCH MORE THAN AT THE PRESENT Governor Says $36,000 Increase in Expenses and He Will Caution Legislature. Indianapolis, July 23. Governor Marshall ays that unless the next legislature is very careful it will find itself up against the necessity of increasing the state tax levy, and he will make strong recommendations touching on this matter. He says that according to the best figures he can obtain it will cost $300,000 -more to maintain the various state institutions next year than it costs for this year, and the job the legislature will have on hand will be that of meeting this increase without raising the tax Hevy. 'The levy now is 33.35 cents on the hundred dollars of taxable property in the state. The governor believes it is possible to meet the increase in expenses without increasing the tax levy provided the legislature uses care and good judgment in making up the appropriations next winter. The governor estimates that it will cost $200 per head to maintain the state institutions next year that is, on a basis of $200 a year for each inmate. Tin's, he estimates, will mean an increase of probably $10 a year over the present cost. Over 12,000 to Care For. There will be next year about 12,250 inmates in the various state institutions, divided as foillows: Insane 5,000; feeble minded. 1,500; prisoners in state prison and reformatory 2,400; boys' school 700; girls' school 70Ö; epilqrtics 200; soldiers' home 400; tuberculosis hospital, 200; deaf and dumb institute and school for the blind 400. Xext year the new southeastern hospital for the insane will be in use, and it is the purpose now to take all of the insane out of the county jaifls and place them in the new institution together with some of the pres ent inmates of insane asylums. This will make an increase of about 1,000 abene the present population of the insane hospitals, but this increase ;s included in t'he above figures. The new tubercui'osis hospital at Rockport also will be in use and will accommodate 200 inmates, thus adding that number to the present population of the state institutions. SHUT DOWN ON MONEY. With Which to Buy Automobiles One Concern Involved. A Chicago concern which made it a business to finance the purchase of automobiles, has announced its withdrawal from the unique field it occupied. The plan of operation was to furnish 50 per cent of the cost of a new auto, change interest at the rate of 7 or 8 per cent and take a mortgage on the vehicle. Now it develops that several hundred owners of machines who bought on t'hiis modern pian arc unable to make their payments. Their machines are partly worn out and if put up at forced sale will not sell for the amount of rhe mortgage. It is cited that an auto mobile depreciates faster than ii ,t ii . . any uuicr ininir soiu on uie r trt market. So many autos beincr. sa.u at second nana, it is claim-' n I - . f ed, anterferes vastly with the factory output sale. - Issues Warning to the Wardens. George Y. Miles, state fish and game commissioner, has issued a circular letter to the deputy wardens out over the state directing that they use the utmost care in using their revolvers, and to make certain before displaying them, that it is for the defense of iheir own 'lives, or when pressed into a corner in doing their duty. The recent experience of A. M. Gall ion, a deputy warden who was shot by James Haynes, in Jasper county, after Gallitm had fired at Haynes, when attempting the Iatter's arrest, prompted the letter. The state commissioner wJM go to Jasper county, he said to investigate the Gallion-Haynes case. He regrets very much, he said, that the unfortunate incident occurred. 'Mr. Miles has written to ,Gallion asking him to resign as deputy if the charges lodged against him in Ohio for alleged wife desertion are true. A requisition was recently honored for the return of Gal lion, but it has not vet been served on the deputy. Attend Henney Funeral Mr. and Mrs. Kdward Henney, of this city, and 'Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Henney of Kokomo went to Harris this morning, to attend the funeral of their brother Jas. Henney, which occurs toniorow afternoon at 2 o'clock at Ptiirmont church. 'The body of Jas. Henney. arrived from Mobile, ASa.. this morning and was taken to the hoime of his parents, five miles north of Plymouth. Friends wishing to view the remains may do so at the res idence before the funeral.

USURY SHOWS A BIG SURPLUS

OUTLOOK FOR FINANCIAL CONDITION OF NATION. AT PRESENT IS ENCOURAGING. Thanks to the New Tariff Law and Corporation Tax Imposed by Republican Legislation. 'Thanks to the new Republican taritT Caw and the tax on corporations imposed by Republican legislation, the treasury entered the new fiscal year with a surplus of $),402, 132.0(1. A year ago at the beginningbf the fiscal year, Secretary MacVeagh was confronted with a deficit of $58,131,000. The estimates made last year before the new taritt law was enacted contemplated a deficit of $31,075,000. In a statement issued at the close of business today it is stated that "the transactions for the first quarter of the fiscal year appeared to verify the accuracy of the estimated deficiency, although there had been a noticeable increase in receipts, on account of the customs, most of which probably attributable to heavier imports of goods, upon which the. 'duties were to be increased under the operation oi the new taritT, for the Hong discussion preceding the enactment of the recent law afforded ample opjrtunity to anticipate where increased duties were to be laid. Increase in Revenues. Despite the fact of increased imports in the last months of the preceding fiscal year in anticipation of the passage of the new taritT, and despite the general decline in business activities during the fiscal year just closed produced revenues amounted to 32,073,3!0 more than those of the preceding fiscal year. Receipts from ordinary internal revenue taxes show an increase of $2 1, (Jl 0,37 2 over those of the preceding year. Returns from the corporation tax furnish an additional amounting to $17,302,815. While there was a decrease in receipts coming from miscellaneous sources amounting to .$.V(),0(M), the net increase of receipts for 1!U0 amounting to J5,4 75,21)2. Althomgh the ordinary disbursements for the current year were estimated at a total amount of $GS2,0;5,(J20 the actual disbursements have fallen short by fG62,321,44t in the preceding year. The accounts of the war department and the postal deficiency each show a reduction of $.8,000,000 in actuall expenditures below the estimates. The civil and miscellaneous disbursements fall $3,000,000 short of the estimates and all of the other classications of disbursements fall short of the estimates, except the disbursements on account of Indians which show an increase of about $1,000,000. Postal Decrease Shown As compared with previous years the principal decrease in disbursements is shoAvn in the postal deficiency, amounting to $11,000,000. The expenditures for the, navy show the largest increase, amounting to $S,000,000 While the ordinary receipts of the government have increased $2.700,000. During the fiscal year the treasury has advanced from its generali' funds $33,1)11,073.37, to iie used in the construction of the Panama canal. This amount will eventually be returned to the generali fund from the proceeds of bonds to be sold on Panama canai! account now due to the treasury $110.78G,747. The net result of the year's transactions are much more favorable than many had expected. Through the inclusion of nearly $34,000,000 expended in behalf of the Iinama canal, for which the treasury will eventually be reimbursed, the. total balance for the year, shou-s, however, a deficitt' of $25,884,014, but this siiould be compared, however, with the total deficit for 1000. North Towntbin 4 Mrs. Ivva Albert is on the sick list this week. Mrs. Addie Green and son Forest of Bremen are visiting with friends near Lapaz this week. iMr. and -Mrs. Walter Thornton of South Bend visited over Sunday at Clark Ritten house's. Mrs. Anna RrttenhVmse lias been quite sick for the past week, but is reported better at present. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Row of Ivapaz were callers at James Sherlands Sunday afternoon.

Boy's Slayer May Not Hang. Dispatches from Ft. Wayne state that 'Moses E. Richer may never give his life in expiation of his crime in torturing little CHianlie Coats to death. The reason for this is that Richer will have to stand trial by a jury, and Prosecutor Thomas, it is said will not demand the extreme penalty. The latter said: "I don't believe in capital pmwshment quite so much as I did a few years ago." Judge O'Rourke, before whom Richer will probably be tried, Is also constitutionally opposed to capital pun-isJliment.

He further said that it would require apioximately GS,000 gallons of oil to cover three miles of road, ten feet wide and that this quantity including the freight would cost in the neigiilxirliood of .$2000. The company will furnish the free use of a reguilar oil sprinkling Wagon where this quantity is used.
