THE PLYMOUTH TRIBUNE. PLYMOUTH, IND. HENDRICKS Q. CO., - - Publishers. SHOPPING IN MIDOCEAN. The "wireless message pulsing over the sea has put the voyaging financiei In daily communication with the bourses of New York, London and Paris. Even In mldocean the capitalist may buy or sell, -with a view to the protection or the profit of his purse. But it were vain for mere man to imagine that he could reserve this Instrumentality to his exclusive use. If tho wireless can be utilized tc

make or to conserve money, it fol- i lows as the n!ght the day tmt It i5 tvailable for spending money. The enterprising merchant could not fail to be alert to this opportunity to Inerease the debit side of a fair client's account, says Washington Post. Fathers, husbands, brothers have cherished the thought that when their dear ones were safely at sea in swift and luxurious palaces, the item of shopping was In a state of at least temporary deguetude. But not so; the ribbon counter and the showcases have been extended, figurately speaking, across the ea. The lady fair may now Indulge her penchant for shopping even in mldocean. Every department store in freat cities near the Atlantic coast will be topped with Its tall electric mast and maintain an operator at Its foot. Bulletins of bargains may be published on shipboard. Moreover, It the lady is on her way home with a depleted purse, she can make an aerial draft to meet every tip of every steward on board and make sure that some of her men-folk meet her with more supplies promptly on arrival at the pier. London's bad season, with dull gray skies and chill winds, is partly compensated for by the promise of good grouse shooting. Parliament has risen in time for the sport, and that part of society which is not already "on the continent" i3 bound northward for the moors. Summerless England Is exchanged for Scotland, which, when the grouse are plentiful and in good condition, 13 a good placo to be, even If the weather is wet. Bright ekies over the moors transform the eportsman's part of Scotland into a Bemblance of paradise. To be sure, the serpent 13 there. The guns crack land the birds are slaughtered by the .thousands. But they have fulfilled their destiny. Who can do more? lAnd mighty good eating is a well cooked grouse from the Grampian hills. tn East Iladdam, about sixteen jrr. flea north from the mouth of the jConnectlcut river, hanging In the belfry of St. Stephen's church and in use today, 13 a bell that was cast In Spain brer 1,000 years ago. The Spanish inscription staling that the bell was east in Spain in S15 and the name of the priest who blessed it are all very distinct Those who have Interested themselves It. thl3 valuable old relic claim the church In Spain where it originally hung was destroyed by Napoleon, this bell and many others being sent to America, where there was a good market. It is 28 Inches high and 34 inches In diameter at the base. Nearly one million new farms have been created in the United States during the last ten years. In the last ten year3 the total number of farms has increased 18 per cent., says American Agriculturist. In the older states, from Ohio eastward, there has been going on for twenty years a tendency toward the amalgamation of farms distant f rm market into larger holdings. On the other hand, thl3 section has witnessed the cutting up into smaller pizes of many farms nearer to market. There are now almost three times as many farms as in 1870, and an unprecedented increase in the ralue of farm lands and live stock. There Is one boat on the Hudson river that refuses to be Cslerized. Although the word fast I3 not usually roilshed when applied to the 'feminine gender, the Mary Powell glories in the epithet and has made friends by It. This boat will complete this season fifty years of service, and the ' eeml-centennial anniversary will be appropriately celebrated. . Captain Anderson has served on the boat forty years in various capacities. The Mary iPowell Is still in daily use by the Hudson River Day Line, and cuts the waiter between New York and Kingston not only like a thing of life -ut like a thing of very lively life. A passenger has been carried on a monoplane across the English channel. A majority of the people who have to cross the channel will continue for a .wliile, however, to risk the danger of being shaken In the old-fashioned fway. Esperanto Is attracting as much attention now as the puzzle pictures Idld a short time ago and has as many disciples as simplified spelling ever 'achieved. An Indiana mule kicked a motor'cyclist and his machine across the road the other day. A kicking mule never stops to count a hundred before making up his mind what ought to be done. A New York man has won a championship and a flOO wj.tch by eating sixty-four bananas In a given time. Still we decline to look on thl3 contest as one that In any way involved the honor of the white race. A New Jersey church had to close for the summer on account of the moscmitoei. The congregation wasn't versatile enough to swat and sing glory hallelujah at the same time. Navigation of the air 13 dangerous -not only to the navigators but to the people on whom the machines fall. "Stand from under" i3 a good rule. Peace once more reigns: Tha Nicaraguas squabble is over.

nnn? nuunn incnnn cicht ULIH UL i LlUlil Flies from Chicago to Springfield in Record TimeIS GIVEN GREAT OVATION Aviator Soars 185 Miles in Five Hours. and 49 Minutes and Wins a $10.000 Cash Prize. Springfield, 111. What is looked tipon as one of the most remarkable feats in aerial navigation was accomplished by Walter B. Brookins, In a Wright biplane, when he successfully flew from Chicago to this city, and in doing so he broke all cross-country aeronautic records. With only two stops, neither of which was actually necessary, he made the trip from Chicago to Springfield, a distance of 1SG miles, In five hours and forty-nine minutes, maintaining an average speed of 32.7 miles an hour, and winning the $10,000 prize offered by a Chicago newspaper. Along the entire route, from Chicago to the state fair grounds here', hundreds of thousands of people cheered the daring young aviator as he passed. As the gTeat mechanical bird came to the ground In the presence of 40,000 people he was cheered vociferously for fully half an hour. Brookins left Chicago at 9:15 a. m. He dropped out of the clouds over the fair grounds In Springfield at 4:43. One of the first persons to grasp the airman by the hand as he stepped from his seat after the long and spectacular flight was Gov. Charles S. Deneen, who was followed by Mayor John S. Cchnepp of Springfield. Forty-seven minutes after Brookins rose from the ground in Washington park, Chicago, the "Daylight Special" left the Park Row station over the Illinois Central. A special car had been attached in which traveled Wilbur Wright, the airship Inventor; Roy Knabenshue, special representative of the Wright brothers; members of the Aero club of Illinois, and about forty newspaper men. Thl3 train was fated to suffer the Ignominy of being defeated in a race from Gilman to Springfield by an airship. After a flight of two hours and twenty-eight minutes Brookins came to Gilman, where he arrived at 11:43. Brookins was far ahead of the train and he decided to alight and" await the arrival of the train. He came down In a corn field near town, from which the machine wa3 carried out by farmers who ran to his assistance. From Gilman to Springfield the special train and the aeroplane ran neck and neck, first one forging ahead, then the other, but never at any time more than a quarter of a mile apart. Brookins was forced at 3:20 to descend at Mt. Pulaski for fuel, only twenty-four miles from the state fair grounds. The landing was one of the most remarkable that has ever beta seen in the history of aviation. Trees and fences surrounded him on all sides and with perfect control herf picked out a spot, after soaring about in a short circle, scarcely more than half a block square and landed square in the center. The special train was held up, the aeroplane's supplies were renewed, and at 3:4- he ascended again. From Pulaski to the fair grounds a speed of thirty-five miles an hour was maintained. FIND NEW COUNTERFEIT BILLS. Secret Service Uncovers Bold Fraud on National Bank Notes. Washington. The secret service has unearthed what appears to be an extensive attempt at counterfeiting national bank notes. Notes of the same denomination and Issue as were found in the Pasadena (Cal.) National bank were discovered. They had been issued on the First National bank of Williamsport, Pa. National bank notes in every city will be examined by secret service men to determine how extensively the counterfeiting has been carried on. The fact that the first counterfeit was made on a bank in the West and appeared simultaneously with another on a bank In the East convinces Chief Wilkle that the plans of the counterfeiters have been well laid and that the extent of their ramifications is problematical. The character of the engraving on the notes testifies that they have a complete plant. Ask Pardon for Walsh. Washington. A petition for the Immediate pardon of John R.

Early Saturday an oxplosion that shook the city for many blocks and which caused the death of 13 to 25 persons, completely destroyed the Times Publishing building at First and Broadway, in which is published the Los Angeles Morning Times.

A sixteen-year-old boy thwarted a bold attempt to rob the bank of McClelland at McClelland, a small town in this (Pottawattomie) county. A man giving the name of Tom Kirby, whose home is said to be at Oakland, la., entered the bank and. presenting a revolver, demanded that Walter Julius, the youth who was at the cashier's window, turn over the bank's cash. Instead Julius opened fire on the bandit. Both emptied their revolvers and the robber was slightly wounded in the arm. Julius was not hurt. Kirby then ran from the building and tried to escape. A farmer's picnic had brougl t nearly 5,000 people to McClelland and the crowd attracted by the shooting soon captured . the would-be robber. Kirby is a man about forty-five years of age and claims to have a wife and eight children. He gives the fact that he can only earn $1.50 a day as his reason for the attempted robbery.

It charges the Republican party with extravagance, especially in the creation of many needless public offices, and pledges the Democratic party to retrenchment. "Even this gross extravagance," it says, "is overshadowed by the revelations of corruption forced from a Republican legislature. This almost made the legislature a hissing byword throughout the nation." The platform commits the party to a thorough investigation of all official wrongdoing, "that the guilty may be punished and business relieved of blackmail." "Wo declare in favor of state-wide prinrirles to insure to the people the right to elect candidates and make nominations for public offices," the platform continues.

PRAISE GIVEN LA FOLLETTE ! i

Wisconsin Republicans Warmly In dorse His Principles. I Madison, Wis. The platform j adopted by the Wisconsin Repub lican state convention was probably tho most radical that has been promulgated in many years. The document is abbut 4,000 words in length and touches with no uncer tain hand on a great variety of sub jects. No mention of the national admin istration was made save to disparage the platform. It Is generally desig nated as a radically progressive pronunclamento. Senator La Follette, although fai from well, wa3 present for the first time when the resolutions were read. Mention of his name was invariablj the signal for applause. He addressed the convention briefly, complimenting the delegates upon the platform adopt ed asd declaring that the essence ol progressive Republicanism 13 expressed In the single sentence: "The will oi the people shall be the law of the land." The reading of the report of the committee on re&olutlons was attended by close interest and punctuated with cheers. The platform as adopted in part says: "It is now recognized throughout the country that Robert M. La Follette was the pioneer in this progressive movement, and although he had behind him years of sound, progressive work, tried and approved in this state, when he entered the United States senate he had there neither sympathizers nor following. With the courage, ability and determination that has characterized all his public serv- j ices he adhered to his course, grew into leadership, and now holds a position of undisputed power and Influence in the nation. ! "The people- of Wisconsin believe the results secured promise opportunity for greater achievements an they have by an unprecedented majority expressed their faith in his wisdom and statesmanship and approved his re-election to the United States senate." Wisconsin Democrats, in state platform convention, at which Chairman J. E. Davies, who presided, predicted a Democratic victory this fall, adopted a platform with leading planks as follows: Endorses the national platform of 1908; declares the Republican system of tariff economically unsound, politically corrupt and legalized robbery; the Payne-Aldrich tariff act is cajled an indefensible masterpiece of injustice. Favors a national Income tax, favors the election of United States senators by direct vote, opposes ship subsidies, denounces the Republican postal bank law, favors the conservation of national resources and denounces the present administration, especially Secretary Ballinger; state regulation and control of trusts, more stringent corrupt practice act, home rule for municipalities, popular vote on tho Initiative, refer endum and recall, and comes out flatly against county option. NAPLES IN CHOLERA'S GRIP. Startling Details Are Learned When Censorship Is Removed. Rome. Since Asiatic cholera made Its appearance In the Naples district a month ago, nearly 10,000 persona have died of the scourge, the news ol which has been suppressed by the authorities. Even in Naples bulletins are .Issued daily now by the health officials. That of Friday announced that there had been 67 deaths of cholera In 24 hours. There were 32 new cases and 22 deaths fn Naples Tuesday. This is well established here, although the offlc'al reports from Naples announce only five cases and three deaths in the past 24 hours in the entire province of Naples, three cases and one death in the district of Apu'ia and one death in the province of Foggia. Here there have been four cases of true cholera and one death, but no one seems to feel the slightest alarm: Dispatches from Sicily state that the peasants are resisting the sanitary officials. The government Is actively trying to prevent the spread of the . disease here and Its exportation. The quarantine station on NIsedor island in the Bay of Naples is being rapldy accommodated to receive many more patients. The foreign minister is taking measures. to protect incoming passengers from danger. NEW BOGUS $10 18 DISCOVERED Counterfeit Bill Bears Imperfect Portrait of President McKinley. Washington.

THE NAMING OF THE BABY

Parents Take Mean Advantage When They Give Helpless lnfant a Burdensome Name. Not long since it was chronicled that a Des MoIne3 babo had been christened "Halley Comet" because it happened to have been born during the recent astronomical excitement. In another Iowa home fond, but misguided parents named their young heir "James Jeffries Corbett" some weeks before the catastrophe to the white race at Reno. An eastern exChange tells of a man who went in perpetual embarrassment through life bearing the name "Modest Flower." These Instances of parental folly are bad enough, but look upon this, beside ,which all others fade into Insignificance: v A woman In Missouri, when called upon to give her name to an officer of the courts, gave it thus: "Mrs. Mary Samantha Sarah Lavinia Macy Lucretia Henrietta Parthenia Arizona Tabitha Dollie Welding." After the official had recovered from his faint, the woman explained her cognomen In this wise: "When I was born my parents had eight sisters. There was a family fuss involving all of them when it came to naming me, so In the end they settled the matter by naming me for all of them and throwing in a few names extra," When parents take advantage of a helpless infant not more than a few hours old to Inflict upon it names that forever afterward will be a burden and an embarrassment to It, they take the meanest possible advantage of which even a sheep stealer should be ashamed. There ought to be some fort of retributive Justice for "Halley Comet," "Modest Flower," "Mary Samantha Sarah Lavinia Macy Lucretia Henrietta Parthenia Arizona Tabitha Dollie" and all their link, and it is a strange commentary on the world's progress that it was not long since provided. Des Moines Register. FINE NATURAL HISTORY GROUP Proof of Deer Hunter's Story of Philippine Forest Tragedy Has Been Preserved. A remarkable natural history group ha3 been presented to Gov. Gen. Forbes by Governor Cailles of La Laguna, says the Manila Times. It con slsts of a doe in the grip of a huge boa constrictor, a track and a fawn and its history makes a thrilling hunting tale. Some weeks ago Governor Cailles went deer hunting In the mountains of La Laguna. His beaters end dogs located a doe and began following her through the timber. Suddenly one of the dogs made a great outcry, and hurrying forward the governor found another hunter in the person of a huge boa constrictor. It had fallen upon the doe and encircling its body had taken a hitch around the trunk of a sturdy tree and was crushing it to death. The game dog had charged in but the snake pinned it against a log with Its tail and would speedily have dis-N patched it. Cailles closed in and with a well directed shot to the neck killed the constrictor. The doe was dead when the hunters disentangled it from the coils of th huge snake. The fawn was found hidden in some brush and a little later the buck was located end shot. The constrictor measured twenty-one feet In length and Its body is very large. The buck and doe are also large specimens and the group Is & striking one. , An Eye for Effect. Mrs. Fidd Did you step at the Hotel Savoy when you were at Ems? Mrs. Fadd Oh, no, indeed.

BARGE WITH SAILORS SWAMPEE VHILE RETURNING TO BATTLESHIP. RECOVER VERY FEW BODIES Eleven Missing Who Are Not Known t Have Been in the Swamped Boat Court of Inquiry In Progress-j-Other News of Interest. New York. There was given out from the battleship New Hampshire a lost of twenty-nine men who were sup posed to have perished by the swamp ing of a barge or whaleboat, which was being towed to vessel at anchor in the Hudson river. A list of eighteen men who are still absent, but who were not recognized as having been In the kwamped boat was also given out.. AH day police boats dotted the cove in the river above West One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street, their crews grappling for bodies. But their efforts were without success, not one body being recovered. Old river men said they were not surprised, for when the accident occurred, they declared, the tide was running up stream like a mill race with a brisk wind out of the southwest pushing it along at even a faster clip. This would take the bodies far beyond .the scene of the disaster and probability it will be several days before any more are found. Along thevwater front in the vicinity of the accident, crowds gathered, rushing hither and thither seeking information. Many women were among them, their eyes red from weeping or anxiety depicted on their faces. They were looking for news of relatives or friends who had a shore leave and should have reported back on the New Hampshire the evening previous. - Various versions of how the accident occurred are in circulation. The generally accepted one, however, was that the barge, heavily loaded with sailors and marines returning from shore leave, was towed into the heavy swells of a passing steamboat. Rising for a moment, like a cork, the barge then plunged into the trough botkeen the waves, one of which broke over the side and swamped it. Many of tin- sailors and marines were pulled atc.rd these boats; others held tightly to the swamped barge. Still others, uneiual to the battle with the heavy avju and tide. AUTO RACES CLAIM FOUR. Motor Parkway Scene of Smashing of Auto and Death Records. Long Island Motor Parkway, N. Y. Four killed and twenty seriously injured, three of them probably fatally, was the price in human flesh paid for the sixth running of the Vanderbilt cup race, won In electrifying fashion by Harry Grant, driving a 120-horse-power Alco. Grant, who( distinguished himself last year by finishing first in the fifth Vanderbilt, won this year's event from Joe Dawson, driving a Marmon, by the narrow margin of 25 seconds. John Aitken, in a National, was only a minute and six seconds behind Dawson. The time of the three first cars to finish in the main event exceeded the best time txer made in an American road race. Grant, by covering the 27S.0S miles of the course in 4 hours 12 minutes and 58 seconds, equivalent to an average of 63 1-5 miles an hour, established a new American record. The toll of death includes two of the mechanicians of the racing cars and two as a result of other accidents, one during and one after the races. Judged by its cost In killed and mained, however, the race was a revolting spectacle and a severe arraignment of the manner in which it was conducted. Many Miners Are Entombed. Eagle Pass, Texas. One hundred and fifty miners, possibly more, are entombed and believed to be dead in mine No. 2 at Palau, Mexico, in the Las Esjeranzas mining district, as a result of two explosions, presumably because of an accumulation of gas. The men entombed are mostly native Japanese miners, although the number includes several Americans. At the time of the first explosion the entire night shift, estimated at from 150 to 300, were at work. Of these none had reached the surface at a late hour, and in all probability are dead. . The second explosion occurred shortly after a rescue party composed largely of Americans had descended. That they were killed is thought certafn. However, information received here fo far has been meagre. Oflicially no statement has heen made other than that, the disaster was "very serious," and that a special train with physicians and nurses left C. P. Diaz early in the day for the scene.

THE GENTLE SHEEP AS A RAPIDFIRE MONEYMAKER. An enormous number of sheep are coming into the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, which are being sent there by Western grazers on account of the scarcity of feed in that section of the country, and which must bo sold at buyers' prices. The states of Michigan. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, are well provided with good feed and an opportunity of this kind, if offered by one of th great dry goods houses or department stores of Chicago, would deplete threequarters of the homes of that city of Its womenkind inside of half an hour after the notice appeared. All they would wTant would be time enough to throw a few clothes over them; seme wouldn't even stop to put "rats' in: their hair, thousands would forget the "powder," none would stop to "paint" but every "father's daughter" of them would make 4 "B" line to hubbies pants, and extract therefrom without leave, license or consent, all that therein was to be found in the shape of cash, and then tumble over each other to be first on the spot. Lots of these women would buy much more than they required, and would quietly hold over their purchases until the close of the sale, and . then let loose their surplus stock upon J. heir less wide awake friends, and reap thereby a harvest of "sheckels which we may takepr granted would be at once returned to the trouser pockets of their husbands while thoso gentlemen still ' slept. That Is the woman of It. Let us take a lesson from her thrifty and honest example. Extracting from the pockets of a slumbering spouse, under such circumstances Is not robbery, it is only borrowing, and more than that, it is borrowing on account of that most beautiful of all female characteristics thoughtful consideration She did not wish to disturb the peaceful rest of her softly Bleeping consort. Sheep feeding at this particular time, and after the season of Western drought just experienced, will be most profitable to those who are fortunate enough to have the feed, and such as have, can in the course of sixty days turn over thrir money In such a satisfactory w? as will add very largely to their bank accounts. - There Is nothing In sight at the present moment, that offers a better and safer Investment than the purchase of these sheep, in numbers that each buyer can accommodate, and nothing that effers so speedy and so certain a return.
