The ladies of the Presbyterian church gave a bazaar all day Friday in tho old Allman store room on Laporte street. Many of the articles offered for sale were what was given at i the Parcel Shower held at the residence of Charles Humphrey two weeks ago. The many useful and ornamental things were readily sold. as people have learned that these ladies know how to make up useful and fancy household articles well. Thisyear the goods offered were ful ly up to the high standard of other years. a solendid dinner was served f j the noon hour. Chicken and gravy with biscuits, and all the good things that go with a chicken dinner. Every thing was just right couldn't have been better. In the the people came pouring in for supPT abUt fi , C.bck hese mm Ped hf ablhtr Ple the fPPflte' fr "T61" l excellent one, and the throng about f the counters where j articles were displayed, kept the ladies in charge US ine amount tauen in was about $115.00, and the ladies wish to thank all for the very liberal patronage given them. There were two features of the day that pfieased the ladies very much. In the forenoon L. G. Harley discovered that the heating stove in the room was an old affair that had been left in the room by former occupants, and was not such as to give good results, even when an expert fire builder was in charge. Mr. Harley never does things by halves, and with his accustomed energy went to work. His efforts were soon seen to result in something worth while A new base burner, called the "Plymouth Rock" was installed, and soon the room was warm and comfortable, and was kept so all day long. This is a new venture in the store line. Fo several ' years we have heard of the "Plymouth Rock Range,' ' and now we are to have a "Plymouth Rock Base Burner." It will be manufactured) by the Plymouth Rock Rariro Company, of which Messrs. Marks & Harley are chief owners, and it is. in the language of Mr. Harley, "a dandy. 1 It was a eenerous act, and much appreciated by the Presbyterian church ladies. The other thing that was very pleasing happened in the afternoon. A nice good big man a rood fellow" for certain, passing by saw the sign before the door, stepped in, said "I have no time to stay and eat, but here is something for you." He thereupon handed the ladies five dollar bill, and hurriedly left. No one of them knew him, he was a stranger. His heart was in the riirht place, and he is hereby publicly thanked by the ladies of the Presbyterian church for his generous donation to them Foley Kidney Pills Are tonic in action, quick in re sults. A special medicine for all kidney and Madder disorders. R. Bronson, South Bend, Ind., says: "I had a case of kidney and bladder trouble for a number of yeari. I was not able to obtain any relief until I used Foley Kidney Pills. I had such severe backaches that at times they seemed like a knife in my side. I was troubled with dizziness on arising in the morning and could hardly keep on my feet. The use of Foley Kidney Pills for a few veeks cured me of all these things and my kidneys and bladder are as healthy and strong as they ever were. Foley Kidney Pills are the only thing I have been able to obtain for my kidney trouble.' Fred Wenzler. Torrent Hosa Co. llecting.

MORE INTERURBAN DOPE. ' . T . A . South Bend-Logansport Electric Rail"ray Has Dwindled , To a South Bend-Lakeville Lin?. The following article appeared in the South Bend Tribune. The chief cbject of the story tellers who gave the "dope" to the reporter we believe to be to' influence the Marshall county commissioners to give on extension of the. franco -this county. It is a nicely framed up story and reads as follows: "Plans for the completion of the firsl division of the proposed inteinrban line from South Bend to Lfsransport, on which construction work was stopped some months ago, were today announced by R. D. Wynn, of Waukegan, 111., and F. W. Stillwill, of Chicago, who have become interested in the project. A svock issue of .$100,000 will be made, and the line as far as Lakeville will be completed. As soon as cars are in actual operation that far the line will be continued to Plymouth. Messrs. Wynn and Stillwill haveesti mated the cost of, ompleting the l:n? as far as Lakeville and putting cars into actual service, at $100,000 and that amount will be raised at once by the sale of stock. The bringing of the Illinois men to this citv to take active charge of the work of selling stock and superintending the construction of the railway follows the purchase of a Innre block of stock by Gabriel R. Summers. Through Mr. Summers Mr. Wynn, who has had long experience as a railroad contractor, was induced t come to this city to invest i-.vale the local project. The latter ir.ide a trip over the right of way. and declared that he was delighted with conditions, ne said lhat the great agricultural district iust south of this city could be ronsht into closer touch with South Bend, and said that the proposition should prove a successful venture. Work of cionstructibh on the South Bend & Logansport line was begun "nviai cars aso. S. S. Perley and T. P. Moredock, recognizing the possibilities of building a first class intemrban to Logansport, via Plymouth, first set about to interest eastern capital in the project. Several big bankers were interested, and work was begun. The grading and bridging was completed as far as Plymouth, a distance of about 25 miles, when the eastern capitalists withdrew their support. However, interest was revived with the employment of Messrs. ' Stillwill and Wynn, and it is hoped to have cars in operation between South Bend and Lakeville' within a short time. Later, the line will be extended to Plymouth, and, eventually to Logansport." CHINESE REGENT HAS ABDICATED Prince Chun Resigns Place as Ruler of Kingdom. HAS TRAVELED ROUGH ROAD Period of His Regency His Been Troubled Time Place as Guardian of Throne Taken by Two Princes. - Pekin, Dec 7. The abdication at Prince Chun, the regent and f&ther of the toy emperor, is known to be a fact. His place as guardian of the throne is taken jointly by Shih-Hsu, a Manchu prince and former president o! the national assembly, and Hsu-Shi Chang, vice president of the privy council. Prince Chun has been the chief fig ure in China since the death of the emperor, Kwang Su, and the empress dowager in 190S. From the dark days which followed the death of those ml ers he emerged the ruler of China, Prince Chun s regency wss at no time a smooth one. He tried to hold a middle gTound, which pleased neither of the Manchu reactionaries nor the native progressive. He handled the present crisis with perhaps something less than his old time vi?or and recent reports hare printed that his mind is weakening. Wu Ting Fang, the former Chinese minister, al "Washington, wno Is one of the revolutionär leaders at Shanghai, Issued an appeal to Chun a few days ago urging him to abdicate in favor of the republic. It was reported later from Peking that Chun was willing to accept a pension and retire to Je-Hol If his personal safetly was assured. In Circuit Court. In the case of Charles A. Sanders vs. Florence N. Sanders, divorce was granted the plaintiff. In the case.of John Carpenter for appointment of guardian, it was determined that said John Carpenter was of unsound mind, and William B. Kyle was appointed as guardian. Cases set for Thursday morning are postponed, and the jury is not called till next Monday. Judge Bernetha did not render his decision in the Mrs. Emma Lord will case today, but it is taken under advisement till the 28th day of December. Read The Weekly Republican.

PL1ÖÜI1L SENDS LETTER

FROM DENVER

MRS. BESSIE CALAHAN WRITES OF SIGHTS IN AND AROUND DENVER AND COLORADO SPRINGS. TAFT IS ENTERTAINED Sugar Beet Raising Is Described and Process of Making Granulated Sugar Is Given. The following extracts are from a private family letter written by Mrs. Charles Calahan to W. E. Leonard and family of this city. Mrs. Calahan was Miss Bessie Leonard, third daughter of 3Ir. Leonard, and her husband was a Terre Haute boy. The health of Mr. Cala han was not good here and they mov ed to Denver, Colorado, where he is in the employ of the Denver Post. The letter was not written for publi cation, but the writer tells of some things that will be of interest to others aside from the immediate family circle, and will harm no one by being given a wider circulation. In the work that Mr. Calahan does he is obliged to travel about a good deal, and was for a time stationed at crippie reeic, ana his wile was with him on some of these trips, and writes of personal observations at various places. Mrs. Calahan says : When I went up to Cripple Creek from Denver, I took only a suit case to stay two weeks, but instead it was two months. We were there seven weeks, and then got word to go to Pueblo for State Fair week, and as the Post sent passes to everything I went along. Then we went on to other places, driving a great deal, till we were some 200 miles east of Denver, and near the Kansas line. We were in Monzanola, Fowler, Rockyford, Sugar Citv. Ordwav and LaJunta, where is the terminal of the Santa Fe system. I shall always be glad of the time spent in the Cripple Creek district, as I saw so many interesting things. Charlie had found so many pieces of ore with specks of gold in, almost four rounds, and as we could not carry them around, we took them to an assayer to treat them and extract! the gold. It was quite a boiling down, as he now has a button of pure gold worth a little over two dollars and a larger silver button. The as say er 's office is certainly interesting. The m.-vn balanced the scales evenly then took a single hair from Leon ard's head (this is their little son) and laid it on Vie scales, and you should have seen them tilt. He told exactlv what it weighed. Then he balanced two-inch squares of plain paper, and then he marked across one of the trays with a pencil and showed the extreme difference in weight. This scales cost $380.00, and "thev are certainly sensitive. We went up to Pike's Peak on the Cor Road. The parer got us tick ets, as otherwise it would have been So.OO each and 1 mav add, we wouldn't have gone. It was a fine trip, and one which every tourist thinks is necessary to complete his visit to the west. We were some what disappointed in it, as it is not so grand, as many other places. But it is the name, you see. The summit is 14147 feet, and there was quite a bit of snowj the day we were there, so we could throw some for each of you. . We had a 45 minute stay up there, and could look down on Manitou and Colorado Springs over a mile below. There is a telegraph station ami a large hctel, and places to buy souvenirs, etc. The cars hold fifty persons, and during the season they run six or eight trains a day. The expense of building this road must have been enormous. ine steepest graae is zt desTees. The road has double cog rails in the middle, and every wheel has an extra wheel, with cogs which clutch in these grooves in . the rails at every revolution, so it can't slip back. At 12,000 feet elevation we passed 'the timber , line, and all was barren from that up. We passed and could see, seven of the big lakes and reservoirs which are the water supply of Denver, and the Springs, and can you imagine any water more pure than these lakes of ice cold water so high above all impurities, and fed by streams from snowbanks, P piped down to the city. Denver cer tainly has good water which is cold all the summer long. Quite a contrast to what we had at Pueblo and '

beyond which is piped from the Arkansas river, and made us miserably sick all the time. Pueblo is about the size of Terre Haute, and very similar as far as dirt and smoke are concerned. We enjoyed the fair t!-ere quite well. Neither of us had ever been to a state fair, and not even to a county fair for years. The races were good, and the cowboy relay races were something new and very exciting. Bronco busting is a feature of every big day out here. It was a fright to. see some of the cowboys saddle and attempt to ride those wild horses, and even steers at times. Leonard never considered it a bit exciting until the man's hat went off, and then he would scream "He's a dandy rider, look at his hat fly." Rocky Ford and La Junta are both pretty places onjy eleven miles apart, right in Arkansas valley. Here is some of the finest growing land, and the most valuable in Colorado. It is in the heart of the sugar beet country, and we happened there right in the harvest time. Most all the towns here are within sight of each other, and you have no idea how far you can see here, because of the open country and high elevation. The sugar beets make a pretty sight when growing. Acres and acres of them, with big dark green curly leaves like lettuce. The beets are white and vary in size, averaging about, seven pounds, though we saw a prize one on exhibition weighing 22 and one-half pounds. They say that two years ago a man raised one weighing 35 pounds. In each of these little towns is an immense sugar factory, valued at a million dollars each. They can each handle 1500 tons of beets per day, producing 1800 to 300 one hundred pound sacks of sugar, yet they work but two months in a year. The ranchers can be seen hauling in the great loads of beets, always with four horses and big sided wagons, that are hinged to drop down. Along the railroad at intervals of a few miles are "beet dumps," where they are weighed, and then put into big beet cars, and taken to the factories. A sample is taken from each load, and tested to see the per cent of sugar, as all beets are not alike. Of course the poor farmer gets his pay according to the quality of his stock, and this is where he gets "skinned." With all the high rates of sugar, the farmers do not get a penny more for his beets than in former years. No one can go to any factory and buy $1.00 or $100.00 Worth of sugar, as it is all shipped away. It is a great industry, and very interesting to see. We went through one of the factories The beets are washed in boiling water, tons at a time, and ground up fine. This is weighed on automatic scales that weigh a ton and then dump it. This is carried along and put into vats twenty feet deep and then cooked. The beet syrup oozes cut and is just like molasses, and is dark browc. This is poured into the wonderful granulating vats, that revolve as swiftly as the machinery can make them. It turns pure white, and is granulated sugar in a few seconds. There is a sort

ot grey pulp left which is a fine took fed. ana is tri back by the nmn J farmers It sounds funny to hear some one say Iarm77 or "farmers." as rverv one here says " ranchers," "ranch eggs," "ranch milk," etc. The barnyard is called the "corral," and they speak of "corraling" the horses or cattle instead of catching them, and they "rustle" tip the cattle, or rustle" up a meal. I heard some young people sav they were going to "rustle" up a lunch here in the hotel, instead of going out for a meal. Potatoes are called "spuds" everywhere, and the men say one bit, or, two bits of money, and I have to laugh every time I hear them. Grocers advertise "far ranch eggs," meaning stored awhile, and "near by ranch eggs" meaning near to Denver, and therefore fresher. The papers speak of "close in" apart ments and houses to rent. This is the greatest state for fairs and "big days." Most every p'tace around has had its special feature, and furnished something or other absolutely free to all visitors. It started in strawberry time, and some town had a strawberry festival and served berries and cream and cake. Then there were several other fruit days, and a "roasting'ear" day, and pumpkin pie and cider day, and Greely had a "spud" day, Rc?ky Ford had a melon day, and Sugar City a sugar day, serving biscuits and syrup. here were several barbacues at different places, and one little German town had a sour kraut and weeney day. There are ranches here of hundred of acres planted in melons and cucumbers, whieh are raised for the seed to supply big seed houses in the east. We passed acres and acres of big yellow ripe cucumbers, piled in even little heaps, waiting for the big machine , to come along which chops them in two cross-wise and scoops out the seeds. .Muskmelons are treat-! the same way, and the big barns hold hundreds of the 100 pound sacks of seeds ready to ship to Chicago and New York. JIany of 7the ranchers here have the finest homes and barns I ever saw, modern in every way, with door bells, electric arid,- gas lights, baths, etc., and such lawns. Most of . the work is done byMexieans or Japs, who live in quarters to themselves.

I have saiqVa good deal about this, but it will bei news to you, as it was to us. Oh yes, I forgot to say that almost every farm house has a big bunch of bee hives, and honey is very plentiful. We soon found out the reason was on account of the alfalfa which has a small purple blossom, and this the bees thrive on. Mrs. Calahan goes on and tells of the visit of President Taft at Denver and of the treatment given him by the citizens, all of which is very interesting, but we cannot give ii all. One item worthy of mention is the way they prepared the chickens at one of the feasts held in his honor. The special spring chickens were kept in a warm dark room for five weeks before and fed on buttermilk to whiten the meat, and the dark would cause them to sleep and grow fat. Taft was served with two chicks which were "boned" entirely, and still kept whole, and the skin not broken. It is a French trick, and they remove the bones through the neck. y We are having the third snow flurry here this evening, and Leonard and I have just had a big walk in it. He is just like I always was crazy to kick it up and get it all over him. We hope yon are all well, and that we will escape a severe winter, though such is predicted for Colorado as well as other places. ,

Eagles Have Bano.net. On Wednesday night the Plymouth Eagles held their annual meeting, with visitors of the order which was listened to with interest. The financial standing of this lodge was shown to be in a very satisfactory condition, they having paid in sick benefits some $600, and having about $1000 in their treasury. After the business was transacted, to close years' work they went to the Plymouth Inn, where covers were laid for sixty, and had a banquet with toasts etc. Edward Koontz was Toast Master, and William Tangilder responded to the subject of "Fraternity.'
