Curtis, of New York, run admire the persistency he has displayed in trying to M'l-ure the passage of a bill through congress asking l"r a meager pension of ss.in a month for Susan Wright, living in his district, who, through some technicality has been deprived of this small pension. It is said that ever since he has endeavored to secure a passage of this bill, he has been made the outi of ridicule and the target for the wits and satirists ot the house. Hut he has

kept pegging away indefatigably, and last Friday evening succeeded in having the bill pass without a dissenting vote. While congratulating himself, and thinking of the benefits the poor woman would receive through his efforts, the other evening, he '.was handed a telegram which contained these significant words: "Susan Wright died last night."

When it comes to erecting school j houses the tax payers throw up their I hands in their desire to assist In such j

laudable undertakings; and if there is one thing the Americans pride them

selves upon it is their willingness and j

unselfish desire to erect magnificent school buildings for the purpose of giving their children that, which makes America stand far above other civilized nations. Plymouth needs more room for the public schools ami the South side of our city is the place for it, and now is the time to push this matter so that in the near future, and before the commencement of another school year, sufficient room will be ready to receive all the hoys ami girls entitle to the benefits of our public schools. These are our sentiments. Others may differ radically.and the columns of Tin: lMrrr.M)i:NT are open for our citizens to expres their views upon the subject.

THAT ROBBERY.

The bludgeon of the Republican of this city has been raised against the management of the Farmers institute in defense of the Argos Iletlector and and Plymouth Democrat. There is no use mincing words in this matter. The Republican has issued a program for the institute a program issued for the purpose of advertising the Republican -and in its bungling effort to condemn the official program authorized by those in authority and issued by Tin: Indki'KNdii.nt, has

I dragged the Farmers institute in for a I largo share of implied censure. I There is no doubt that the success of

Are Interested. It is with no small amount of chagrin that the two old established papers in Plymouth begin to realize that "there are others." Kver since the establish ment of the Farmers' institute in this county a program iias been one of the essential features. Two years ago the Peinoer.it printed the programs for a stipulated sum. Last year the pro grams were printed at the oilice of Tin: lsi)i:rr.MKNT. This year the always-get-to the front Imi:i'i:mf.nt told the officers of the Farmers" institute that it would furnish them all the programs required, for nothing, only that they should be acknowledged as the official programs. This offer was thankfully accepted, as it is known tfiat the expenses of the institute are heavy when

consiileriiiL' the amount of available

cash they have to complete arrange

merits with and meet expenses.

The two old established papers o

fortv and fortv-one years' existence

m WW believing that, owing to their long es

tablishment m riymouth, they were entitled to some recognition in the

matter, now show their displeasure by-

each netting out a program for tht

same sum of money that Tin: I mm:

I'i:nii:nt charged - nothing marking

them '-official."

It is a peculiar condition of affairs that has arisen m Plymouth during the past seventeen months, according to the predictions of the old established organs and their croakers, who gave

the ''infant representation of politica

independence" only three months to ex

ist. At that time they spoke disparage

ingly of the ''red-headed" editor from

"Suckerdorn, with Illinois "hayseed in his hair; and accumulated evidence goes

to prove that they have persistently-

endeavored to find a comb fine enough

to remove those seeds, but have igno

niiniously failed.

The fact of their printing programs

for the Farmers institute and distrib

uting them gratuitously gives sufficient evidence that they are falling into line and following the pace set by the

only independent paper in Plymouth.

jsow, tor turlher lniormation, we

desire to say that the programs pub

lished by Tin: iNDr.ri.NDi.NT are the

only programs officially authorized by

the Farmers' institute.

F.ver since the committee appointed

by the council to investigate the build

ing of a substantial school building on

the south side returned their report

considerable commenting has been

done. A large number ot our citizens

believed it a wrong policy to disfavor

the erection of a school building, and at

the same time advocate the paving of

Michigan and Laporte streets. If there

is one important feature that deserves immediate action in our city, it is that

of more adequate school facilities

The Indi:i'KM)i:nt believes that this is

of more importance than any one meas

ure, that has been brought before the council, and believes that this matter

should be thoroughly investigated and

reconsidered. While the question of

finances is one of the Important factors in this matter, there is not the slightest doubt that a suilicient amount could be

easily raised for this important pur pose. Fvery day gives conclusive evi

dence that the population of our city will be greatly augmented during the corning year, which is in itself a potent

factor that calls for more room 'in han

dling the large number of children who will desire to attend our public school. Kven if the population of our city should not increase fifty persons during the coming year, the number of children who will arrive at the proper age which

the time it occurred no arrests were made, owing to insullicient evidence. When young Howell was placed under arre.t a short time ago, one of the men implicated in the affair was taken. While no public demostration was made the net of the law was after the others. Last week .lohn Allen was arrested at Donaldson, and thus the principal of the gang that has been proving a terror to that section of the country was placed behind the bars. Thursday afternoon John Allen had

a preliminary hearing before Justice Reeves and was bound over to court under 1,000 bonds. The evidence of one witness alone was taken, Samuel I ergner. His evidence was about as follows: The night of the robbery he was at trie store very late working on his books. Two young men who slept in the store had retired when the thieves suddenly made their appearance. One of them presented a revolver to the heads of the young men sleeping in the store, which of course proved suilicient to keep them quiet. Mr. F.ergner, who up to this time had not been discovered, owing to a glass partition, quietly slipped off his shoes and was going to beat a retreat, but before he could gain the door, was discovered, and ordered to throw up his hands at the point of a revolver. At this time Allen, who was recognized by Rergner, called to one of

his pardners, who was recognized as Powell, to put on a mask, which he had neglected to do when they entered the store. They then bound Rergner, as had been the other two fellows previous, and proceeded to go through his pockets and the cash drawer. They secured about S27.00. In the examination of Allen he claimed that he was in Clinton county. Rut speaking about the matter previous he declared that he was in Missouri. Rut as Rergner recognized him as well as Powell, there is but little doubt that they will receive the full benefit of the law.

A PINK WEDDING,

Nuptials of Miss Nellie Thompson, I'oriu eily of Plymouth, to Mr I'eteiI'eiHoil, of Calumet..

The following is taken from the

Daily Calumet, and will be of consider

able interest to a large number of

friends here:

"A very pretty pink wedding was that of Miss Nellie Thompson to Peter

Pernod. It occurred yesterday alter

noon at 1 o'clock at St. Patrick's

church, the Rev. M. Van de Laar

otliciating. In uniting them in the holy bonds of matrimony he gave them his blessing and a good deal of

fatherly advice. 1 he bride looked very sweet and charming in a dress of light

green material. She carried pink roses

and white hyacinths. The groom was

attired in the conventional dress suit. Miss Julia Pernod, sister of the groom,

was the bridesmaid, and Charles

Thompson, brother of the bride, was

best man. Mendelsohn's wedding

inarch at the church was played by

Mrs. J. L. alsh.

After the ccemony the wedding party returned to the home of the groom, where a repast lit for the gods

had been prepared, the tables groaning

beneath the weight of the good things

to eat displayed. A short distance awav another table bent beneath the

weight of several hundred dollar's worth of presents. The prevailing

decorations of the supper table were nink and white. The salads and ices

... .

were pink and white and trie Moral deco

rations of the table were smilax and

pink and while carnations. Red and

white wines were served to the guests. Miss Hannah Fong superintended the

supper table, and she certainly deserves

much praise for the very pretty display. Mrs. Pernod, mother of "the groom, and

her daughter Julia and son Aleck, saw

that the guests wanted for nothing.

Covers were laid for forty. Jt was a

very happy wedding party.

The bride entertained the guests with

vocal and instrumental music, as did al

so Mrs. J. L. Walsh, Mrs. Dr. Kidder, Miss Kmily Jackson, Mrs. Aleck

Cameron and P. O Sullivan.

Mr. and Mrs. Pernod will goto house

keeping at 'J 154 Commercial avenue and will be "at home" to their friends after

Feb. 15."

the point is reached where one of the old conservatives will endorse its equally conservative, but long standing political enemy and bitter competitor, for the sake of dropping a "bomb" calculated to "blow up" Tin: 1nii:i'i:mknt, the situation must have become one of hopeless desperation. Referring to our article, " RellectorDeinocrat." in the program, ti e Republican says: "This is signed by Tin: L1i:i'i:niu:nt and appears to be an efforl to build up Tin: Indt.pkmiknt by abusing these two contemporaries.' Thus the Republican takes exceptions to having this matter set fairly and squarely before the farmers of Marshall county, who, of all others, are interested in irettimr the plain, unvarnished

facts. The articles of those papers are j

quoted m full, to which there can be no

objection, unless the matter was objectionable in its first publication. As to the propriety of publishing this matter in the program, granting, for sake

of argument, the Republican's mild in-

sinuation that it was advertising for Tiik Indei'kxiucnt: there can be no question about it. The program has been printed, accepted and distributed without a single protest or dissenting voice. On the contrary, Tiik Indki'I'.ndknt lias been highly complimented on the result of its efforts in the finished work and the articles quoted by Tin: Imi:h:nii:n ;t in the program have been generally condemned. This is a matter to be judged, not by the Republican, but by the farmers and public of Marshall county, and on the judgment of those most interested Tut: 1mi:i'i:ndknt is willing to abide. We predict for this year's Farmers institute the greatest success in its history. The Republican calls into question the judgment of advertisers in using the program. The value of the Marshall County Farmers Institute program as an advertising medium is a matter for advertisers, and not for the Republican or anybody else, to determine. Mr. Rrooke's limited newspaper experience may have eminently fitted him to determine matters of this nature, but we have not the slightest doubt that the advertiser will continue to regard his own judgment as his highest and best authority.
