Dr. Clark a prominent physiran. at Elkhart, died suddenly of heart trouble, Saturday morning. lie was M years of age. Rochester Republican of Friday says: J. C. Lowell of that place is in Plymouth looking for a location. They

all come this way. Miss (irace Alleman has been visiting with Miss Myrtie Curtis of this city for nearly a week past. She returns to her home in Argos today. Miss Nellie Thompson, formerly of Plymouth, but now of Chicago, is reported as married. The truth of the statement is not known. Ketcham & Wilson placed one of their excellent ranges into the newly completed residence of Mr. Jas. Oilmore on South Michigan street yes' erday. Miss Jennie Markley and Mrs. Hill and son, of Wabash, who have been visiting for several days at Mrs. John Losey's, the guest of Miss Kose Smith, leave for their home today. Last Friday lien Fowler, who is employed as a flagman at Muncie dropped dead owing partly to a fright received. He thought a cab load of people crossing the track was about to be struck by a train. An exchange suggests the new woman is not cutting much ice at the present time. A careful review of the weather for the past few weeks is authority that not much ice is being cut just now by any one. Diphtheria and scarlet fever are epidemic in Ripley county. One undertaker had seven funerals in one day and sixteen in one week, six of grip four of scarlet fever, one of blood poison, ingand live of fever and pnuemonia. Last night the velocity of the wind was such as to remind those who are acquainted with lake breezes, of the squalls that sometimes strike old Lake Michigan. It was considered about a forty-mi'e gait. No damages are reporteJ in our city. Argos will undertake to lay the late work done by the Princes Orient in Plymouth, in the shade. Tonight they will make elaborate preparations to do the work, assisted by a number of Princes from this city. A magnificent banquet will also be served. J. Deveny, of Redwing, Minn., an o'd resident of Plymouth, has been enJoing a visit with Iiis parents at Argos. Deveny now holds a position as conductor on the M. & St. L. railroad. In an interview with old friends in Plymouth, he reported the Huff and Alleman boys, formerly of this section, doing well. At Sons of Veterans hall tomorrow an open meeting to the public will be held. This gathering will be held in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday and an excellent program will bo rendered. Judge Hess will deliver an address and other old soldiers will give short addresses of interest. The meeting will commence at 7:.'l0, and the public is cordially invited. It is very peculiar how many groundless reports become circulated in this city. Last night rumor had it that Sam Flory, who till recently was located in this city, being the driver of the Hotel Teegarden hack, had taken his own life by hanging. A telegram was sent to Plymouth, where the young man now lives, and the untruthfulness of the report was learned. It seems that young Flory is well and has no such attempt on his life as was stated. The young man is engaged to marry a La Porte girl, the wedding to take place in a very short time. La Porte Herald. A case of considerable interest to fraternal insurance societies and one that involves the rights of children of a first

wife, has just been decided by Judge Adams in the circuit court at Lancaster, O. Hector A. Mithoff dying, left as heirs four children of his first wife and a widow, his second wife. Acting on precedent the Royal Arcanum, of which deceased hail been a member, decided to pay his insurance of 3,000 to the second wife instead of the children of the first wife, who were alive at the time the certificate was issued. The case was tried in the court of common pleas which found in favor of the children, and the decision, on appeal, las been sustained.

A Mean Trick. It is astonishing how little some pe u pie will be when an opportunity presents itself wherein they foolishly convince themselves that their petty mean

ness will not be discovered. A short t

time ago something came under our observation that bears these remarks out. Someday ago FJsie Stinger, of Donaldson, called at the jail to see young Wolf who is incarcerated therein. Young Wolf being indisposed and needing a little chewing tobacco, asked this friendly visitor to buy him a dime's worth, tendering him a dollar to buy it with. Stinger, so our informant says, bought the tobacco, but failed to turn over the ninety cents in change he received, and young Wolf now mourns the loss of the money he confided to the tender care of a dishonest friend.

Where Three Empires 31et. There is In the southeastern part ot the Prussian province, Silesia, a spot where the frontiers of (lermany, Russia and Austria meet. This point, which is called "The Three Emperors' Corner," is in the heart of a great coal and iron region. Count Schuwalow, the new governor-general of Polaöd, recently made a trip of inspection through the iron and industrial districts of Russian-Poland, and upon this occasion made a visit to this historical spot, where once the three emperors of Russia, Germany and Austria met and spoke to each other, while each stood in his own country. The party was heartily welcomed by a large number of German mine workers, who happened to seo the cavalcade and the array of carriages on the other side. After a short stay the governor continued upon his trip, but not before having called over to a German engineer who had taken a snap shot of the brilliant company across the brook, to send him a copy of a picture made in Germany, taking in a Russian governor and his staff, with an Austrian landscape as the background.

ItAth Kerom mended. The following is the horror perpetrated by a well-known Scottish baronet: A sportsman said to hlra the other day: "Talking about dogs with keen scent, I have one that will compare favorably with any you have In England." "Very remarkable dog, I suppose?" yawned the listener. "I should say so. The other day after I left home he broke his chain and, although I had been away for hours, he tracked me and found me merely by scent. What do you think of that?" "I think you ought to take a bath," replied the Caledonian, turning calmly away. Life's Calendar.

The Home on Wheel of an ArtUt and lilt Wife. II. J. Brewer, the well known artist, and his wife have lived for over a year In a cottage on wheels, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Their movable residence is at present in a lot in Alameda, where they are couched under a spreading oak, and where they intend to stay during the winter. Their house is a result of Mr. Brewer's attempts to secure a place where he could work at his art and still be at liberty to go where he wished. The house was built in 1894, at a cost of about 13,000, and Mr. Brewer said recently that he had already made enough by the saving to pay for it. The van is somewhat similar to those in use by gypsies, ami it is fitted up in much more comfortable style. It has one room 10 feet long, 4 1-4 feet wide and 6 feet 3 inches high, and in this space Mr. Brewer and his wife have lived, slept and eaten for the last year. At one end of the wagon, over the wheels, is a raised platform, and here is a pocket edition of a cooking stove, with a collection of shining pots and pans around It. Under the seat of the wagon is Mrs. Brewer's cupboard, and her table consists of the top of the big trunk which contains their wardrobe. The sleeping arrangements are, however, the greatest puzzle to the uninitiated. The beds consist of the two big cushions laid out upon the floor of the wagon, and the bedding is stored in a box under the wagon, reached by a trapdoor in IU floor. The little house has plenty of light, as it must have, for Mr. Brewer has it for his studio on occa sions. The door is on the left, side, between the wheels, and is made in two halves, so that either can be opened independently of the other. Beside the door there is a big plate glass window and several smaller lights. The whole contrivance, including two persons, weighs less than 2,400 pounds, and can be taken anywhere by two horses. Mrs. Brewer Is no less enthusiastic about her traveling home than her husband. All last winter they were domiciled In the hills above Berkeley and never felt better in their lives. Last August they started with their caravan from Alameda. They went over the hill to Contra Costa county, and spent several mootna sketching in the valleys. Then they went to Berkeley for the winter and in the spring moved their residence farther up into the hills. This winter they expect to spend in AUmeda, and In the spring they will start out for a tour of the state.
