The richest people are those who have treasures that cannot be stolen or burned up. Aurora, Ind., is a city of 5.000 people. and yet there is not a colored person living therein.

A very enjoyable time was reported. ?ome men are so close and penurious that they are waiting for excursion rates to heaven. Alice Place who has been in South Bend for some time returned to Ply mouth last night. Fortune knocks once at every man's door but misfortune stalks in many times without knocking. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Will Crumback, Jr. of Indianapolis,; was in our city Wednesday. Mr. Crumback is a son of Mr. W. Crumback who has aspirations for the governorship of Indiana. Wednesday evening about 7 o'clock a man by the name of Stephenson, succeeded in giving his guard the slip at Michigan City, and escaped. He was captured at New Buffalo. A constituent wrote to his congressmen. "All the d n fools in this town are talking about the Monroe doctrine and nobody knows what it is I don't myself, but if the government is giving it away, send me what you can." Mrs. M. It. Cameron and daughters, Kdna and (Hive, from Winnipeg, are here for a few days visiting C. T. Mattingly and family. They expect to go Nashville, Tenn., where they will make their home. They will also visit relatives in Bourbon before starting south. Mrs. Cameron is Mr. Mattingly's sister. August Voight, a farmer living in Pine township, Porter county, while assistied in sawing wood on his farm last Wednesday, was nearly beheaded by the bursting of a buzz saw. The horrible accident was caused by Voight pushing a stick of wood against the saw, which in some manner became pinched, breaking one of the flying pieces striking him on the head killing him instantly. It is a peculiar malady that has lately attacked the venerable editor of the would - be Independent, paper No. 2. Of ate he seems to take delight in calling attention to some errors made by tne reporter of the Indepknikxt. We can assure our critic, that when we have di rected the helm of a newspaper in a community for forty years, we will have become so well acquanted with the people that their names will appear in proper shape. The continual harping by a number of exchanges regarding the approaching marriage ot ex-i'resiuent Harrison, is truly obnoxious to all sensible people. It surely is his privilege to marry again if he feels so inclined; a;id the news paper that is so partisanly built as to enter potests, and contemplates this alliance with holy horror, and thus declares itself, is not fit to be classed among respectable Journals. Then again the editor that gives voice to such scurrilous articles, in nine cases out of ten, has a record that will not bear the scrutiny of honest men. Whether the prayers uttered by the suffering boy at Sturgis, brought about the wonderful change or not. Lloyd Church, who for four years past has been compelled to live in bed while the bones of his body were turning to chalk, has met with a miraculous cure. t or some time past ne nas lam in a plaster cast, being unable to move. Last week he spent an entire night in praying avowing his intention to serve God the remaining days of his life if he re covered Iiis health. In the morning he called his mothers attention to sensations over his body and on removing the cast he was found healed. To day lias been about as dreary as could be prepared for human mortals. Walking down the street at 1 o'clock we concluded to count the number of teams hitched along the principle streets We discovered between the corners of Michigan and Washington streets and Center street on Laporte street 172 teams. Of this number 72 were single rigs. This necessitated the use oi .itz norses. it we would give as an average, three persons connected with each rig in that short distance it would give us ulf people on our streets from the surrounding country. This will not more than offset the number of people that will come into the city during the latter part of the day, or those who visited our city previous to one o'clock and returned to their homes. Notsuch a bad day after all. From Monday's Dally. Fred Schoner is reported quite ill with pleurisy. Chas. Humphrey was a Warsaw visit or over Sunday. Dennis Walters enjoyed a short visit over Sunday at Warsaw. Wm. Bolin, of Argos, was in My mouth visitor Sunday. A large number of Inwood citizens are on our streets today. Maude McCoy, of Argos, visited over Sunday with her friend Grace Durr. J. N. Plant, of Bourbon, is interviewing relatives and friends in our city to day I Mis9 Katie McDonald returned home Saturday after an absence of severa weeks. Rev. C. K. Bell, of North Manchester will arrive in Plymouth tonight to as ist Be v. LanJis in the revival services which are being conducted atthe'O.B
church. Considerable interest is being manifested. Morris Lauer, of Muncie, enjoyed Sunday with relatives and friends in this city. A Mr. Francis, of South Bend, was in town yesterday enjoying a pleasant time with friends. The son of John Pittis, who died last Friday, is lying in a precarious condition with consumption.
The Plymouth Dancing Club will hold another of their enjoyable gather--gs next Thursday night. A. Miller will in a few days take ti T0M in connection with the Challenge vind Mill company. Grant Bichir-tison visited with his parents at Ilocheer Sunday. He will return to Plymouth Müs evening. Jas. Thayer and Chav Worthington were Chicago callers this morning in relation to business pertaining to the Novelty Works. Geo. II. Thayer Jr., who has been in New York City representing the Plymouth rim at the Cycle show returns home this evening. Lawrence Lankenhelt, who has been confined to the house for several days with rheumatism is once more able to be on the street. The Prince Orient held fourth at the opera house yesterday afternoon. It seems to us as wise plan to utilize some other time for this work. Piatt McDonald, of Denver, Colo., brother of Editor D. Mc Donald, and Mrs. Kate Cleveland, is in Plymouth. He arrived Saturday evening. It is said that J. C. Bowell, Frank Lamson, John Wolford and J. Schult heiss are Chicago visitors today, in search of pedigree horse fiesh. Boom M. in the west side school house was dismissed this afternoon owing to the sickness of Miss Edith Wiltfong, teacher of that grade. We wonder if Brother Mc, of the Independent No. 2, was the author of that article in the Culver City Herald, regarding Adam and Eve playing "hide and seek." Silas Joseph received a telegram this morning announcing the death of his brother Samuel Joseph, at Laporte, whose death occurred last night. Mr. Joseph left today to attend the funeral. Mr. Samuel Joseph was the proprietor of the Standard Hotel in that city, and was formerly located at Nappanee. A Mr. Glass an old resident of near Twin Lakes, died last Friday. The funeral was held yesterday at 2 o'clock. Bev. Rothenberger conducting the services. The interment took place some two miles west of Ply mouth. The deceased would soon have been 84 years of age and before his death selected a passage of scripture for the text when his funeral was held. The popular monthly of Frank Leslie's for the month of Feburary is a gem. The Lee family of Virginia, is the subject of a series of articles that will appear in this excellent magazine during the ensuing year. Mrs. Boger . Pryor is the author of this series of articles and is sullicently known by the reading public to be appreciated. Other articles of great importance appears for his month. Our citizens are promised a veritable intellectual treat at the club rooms of he Saturday Club, where Mrs. Ford, of Chicago, wi'l speak on "Women in Shakespeare." She is said to be a most engaging speaker. Her subject is rich in possibilities and capable of varied and brilliant treatment. The admis sion is fixed within the easy reach of - - m all and a good attendance is already practically guaranteed. Mr. John Pettis, an old resident of this county, who resides four miles west of Marmont, and near the edge of Starke County, died at his home last Friday night after a long illness of can cer of the stomach. He w as YJ years of age. A post mortem examination was held Saturday night, which resulted in the discovery of the above named trouble, which had been diognosed as the same ailment previous to the latter examination. We have been informed by Mr. T. J. Winincrs tint in the near future there will be a gentleman in our city short time whose business is to look up locations for oil and cas wells. It is to be hoped that the outlook will be such as to give encouragement for further prospecting. While Ply mouth, without any apparent exertion is forging ahead of other cities around tier, with a field for oil or gas, or either, it would make Plymouth the banner town in the state, and she could get anything she desired with hands down. Ethel Cunningham whose serious sickness has been noted from time to time in these columns, died Sunday noon of dyphtheretic croup after a distressing illness of about ten davs. The interment took place at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon without pub lie service because of the contagious character of the disease. The public sympathy are unusual both on account of the loving character of the bright little girl and the dangerous nature o the case that makes it necessary for friends to stay away from the home The obituary notice will appear tomor row.

A "New Woman" social was an nounced for Saturday night at Michi can City. As a description ot the cos tumes were not mentioned, we are unable to state whether the men wore dresses or bloomers. Russian la grippe, like the Russian bear, seems to be on the war path to the extreme discomfiture of numerous local residents. It pursues its course regardless of whether the passage of the Dardanelles is closed or not. The family of J. B. Rowell has been having a severe tussell with the grippe. Mrs. Rowell for several days past has been under the immediate care of the family physician. She is reported as some better this morning.
