It is said that Michigan City has a first class bread war on hand. The close competition gives the consumer ' 2 loavea of bread for 5 centa, and yet,

says an exchange: "The baker makes money, there is no doubt about that." What do you think about ihal 't Sheriff Dillon, of IJocheMer, came to Plymouth yesterday, returning in the evening with young I'odgers, held here for larceny. A Mr. Lowenstien, ol Valparaiso, owner of large department tore in that city, was easting a critical eye uver our city yesterday. The 2nd quarterly meeting of the M.

Mr. Ketcham secured a telegram an-j nouncing the serious illness of hisj mother at Warsaw, lie attended her! bedside yesterday. She has taken a turn for the belter.

Dr. Hoy will preach at the Jaeoby Peformed church, Sunday, Feb. 2, at 2 p. in. In the evening he will deliver a lecture on India. The subject, "What is ( ur Life." One of the boys who went to (Jeorgia to follow the fortunes of a baker, found out that the greater portion of the people in that sec tion baked their own bread. Alter an eventful journey he arrived in Plymouth a few days ago. A young man named Wahlert, employed in the Haskell V Parker car works at Michigan City, in attempting to pass between two cars Monday, was caught between Hie bumpers and crushed so badly that he died shortly afterwards. The first M. F.. church of 2osheu has secured the services of the "Jubilee Hand" of the Salvation Army of Chi cago to assist them a week. This band is composed of seventeen young men who are highly spoken of. They should be sent to Plymouth. There was a snake show in Valparaiso. The proprietor of the colossal twister appeared in the clerks ollice and deposited his mite to help sustain the city government. He then opened up his wares and commenced doing business. Then the uniformed nabobs ol that city appeared on the scene ayain and closed up the shebang because the proprietor of the building would not ante up another chunk of dough. Surely the city ollicials of that city have the required amount of gall. Monday afternoon about I o'clock, as little Irene Kuhn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuhn, was playing in the back yard of their residence on south Michigan street, he slipped and fell violently to the ground, breaking her left arm a few inches above the wrist.

Some persons are candidates because they represent ideas; others because there is no law to prevent it. The ladies society of the Presbyterian church will meet Friday afternoon at Mrs. Win. Suits', on Sophia street. See W. K. Leonard's add on coffee tomorrow. Two plain drunks were recorded at Justice Peeves' ollice yesterday. The usual tine and trimmings were assessed. The editor of the Culver City Herald last week was authority for the assertion that Adam and F.ve played "hide and Leek" in the garden of Lden. We

believe Fve did seek for "knowledge," but A Jam, being modest, onlv tried to hide his nakedness. Jim Mcl.eer found tin' wax s of Plymouth loo intricate for him, u.l icluriied to his home at De Long yeser lay. F. D. Spangle, of Ashley, Ind.. contemplates coming to this city soon to assist his brother in the jewelry business. Mr. and Mrs. Simons have returned from their visit to New York City, where they enjoyed the great cycle show. Mrs. John Capron was slightly indisposed yesterday with the prevailing epidemic. Ma is considerably better today. Dipht heretic croup has to a large extent prevailed at Hamlet for several das. The schools are closed during t he contagion.

In an attempt to blast the test well at Walkerton which was down 11 feet, it shattered the casing so badly that a new well w ill have to be sunk. Nature gives each man a life work and provides him with just enough sense to do it, but she doesn't always give him sense enough to see w hat his life's work is. (leo. Paisley and a Mr. Proxvn, of Piemen, who are doing jury duty in the county seat, went to Argos today to visit friends during a lull in court business. Dr. Aspmall, of the Horton Institute, left today for Keokuk, Iowa, where he will attend to business pertaining to Dr. Hortons cure. He will be gone several days. It must be encouraging for those who worked in the Delany Clock Works at Yalparaiso.which went into the hands of a receiver. They will receive but seven cents on the dollar. Marshal Meyer received information this morning to the effect that young Hogers, arrested by him and taken to I lochest er, was bound over to appear at the next term of court. Hiram Hervy, of Litchfield, Mich., a former resident of Plymouth, is visit ing with relatives ami friends in our city. He seems impressed with the advancement of his old home. The Culver City Herald is advocating tie feasibility of a railroad running east and west through that place. Surely (ieorge is a hustler when it comes to anything that will benefit his town. That's all right, Mc. We have no objection to having "Old Time Petniniscences" published in book form, it might be a good idea to test the temper of the people, though, before starting the presses. HroMier F.ndly, of the Walkerton Independent, despite the cry of hard times, came out last week with a brand new dress of type. It is tine of the latest faces, and adds considerable to the already neat Journal. The telephone poles are being elected between Pochester and Kewanna. From the latter place they will be erected to Argos, which, in a short

time will give Plymouth one of the best telephone services in the country. The administrators of Hammond municipal affairs are receiving a shaking up. An indignation meeting was held there a few days ago when numerous charges of boodling was rung on. The charges were emphatically denied by the city ollicials. Judge Orsborne, who for a number of years at the bar at Flkhart, stated.while making a plea in a case he was connected with, that it was the last vase he would appear in. The Judge is past V years of age, and thinks be has been in the harness long enough, lie will remove to California. It is a most excellent thing for the Democrat thai "Major F. 11. Tebbetts, a graduate of West Point" has come for ward to endorse Prot her Mc Donald's "Old Time Petiiiniseences." Without some solid endorsement these reminiscences might have been confounded with Mc Donald's forty years dream. How about that dream Mc? An exchange states the exact truth when it remarks that ' nexvspaper has live thousand readers to one thousand subscribers. A merchant who puts out a thousand hills gets possibly three or four hundred people to read them; that is if the boy trusted to distribute them doesn't chuck Hum under the sidewalk. Newspaper advertising is the best advertising on earth. The Ashley, Ind., band boys recently sent for a new horn, but on its arrival failed to uinLfcfstand the new valves. A letter of inquiry was sent to the manufacturers, which brought them by return mail the instructions to apply about 2." cents worth of saliva. The band boys wore puzzled, not know ing what that was, and finally wrote the company to find the money enclosed for which please forward them the saliva. The secretary of t he company is now in a hospital.

Paul returned home last night from Chicago where he. was transacting business. F. H. Smith, of Detroit, Michigan, is visiting with the family of F. K. Prooke, this week. Martindale A; Stevans went to Hourton today in the interest of their client Samuel Stewart. The text for Dr. Hoy's senium, at Ja coby's Peforined church Sunday, w ill be from St. Luke ' .. Miss Haitz, of IJotirbon, is visiting her brother m our city. She will return home tomorrow. Harmon Harvey, of Hlisstield, Mich., who has been visiting a few days in the city, returned home today.

Price, Wednesday night. The dance given by the Plymouth Dancing Club last evening, was largely attended and proved to be a very enjoyable a flair. Mrs. Keech and little son Harry, returned to their home in Chicagoafter a weeks visit with her parents Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Miller. Prot her Mc Donald, should now call the Nappanee Advance to tune for giving the credit of the Xmas story to the Columbia City Post. A.A.Jack, of Detroit, Michigan, a believer in Dakota soil, was in our citv yesterday telling the people of the wonders of that northern climate. Miss Margeret Cauliield, of South IJend, was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. "Jallagher. she attended the ball given by the Plymouth Dancing Clublsat night. Hourbon Mirror -J. W. Wiltfong is the new chairman of the Pepublican County Central Committee, and Joseph Hlaek is the new Secretary. Hoth are good selections. This is the way a girl parses "kiss;" kiss is a noun, though generally used as a conjunction. It is more common than proper. It is not very singular and generally used in the plural mini her and agrees with me. Yesterday's (loshen News says regarding the meeting of the Deanery in thatcity : -Todays sesions have been well attended and at 10:30 Pev. W. W. Payniond, formerly of this city, and now of Plymouth, preached an excellent sermon. The editor of the Independent No. 2 seems to have a knack of stating untruths. In speaking of the street paving, of which he asserts he is in favor (?), yet he did not think the council would attempt such a course when "all the property owners were opposed tu It.

Prot her Mc Donald, of the Independent Pladder, occupies so much of his valuable space this week in proponding untruths against the only Independent paper in Plymouth, that we are com pelled lo answer the allegations, in in stallments. Our space is too valuable to permit us to give it in one issue. Fisher's comedians in "A Cold Day w ill be at the Opera House Wednesday night Feb. ."it h. This is the ninth season and any company that has the honor of playing one piece for that length of time should indeed feel proud of il Put the tact that new laces, new tongs, and dances go towards making a farce comedy, is the secret of its continued success. Fisher always has something new. "A Cold Day" has more laughs and more solid fun, than any farce comedy ever seen here, and no doubt will be greeted as usual with a full house. " Colli lay." There will be nothing but inn and music at the opera house on Wednesday evening, Feb. .". Fisher's comedians have an excellent reputation, and thio company comes highly reeom'iiended. This is their ninth season. Fach year there is something new in "A Cold Day" and one never tires of seeing it. If you want to enjoy yourself and laugh don't miss seeing it. It is a great show for the "blues," or "that tired feeling." ringer Oil OIV. Mike Imiii, an employe at the Hicycle works, had the misfortune of having the index linger of his right hand cut off Wednesday He was handling a drop machine, and failed to remove his hand, lie was brought to the ollice of Dr. Knott, where the mutilated linger was removed at the first joint.
