Many chapters Of history have been

our own history is that made in Ed

independence achieved than the Eng

the American market, began to pre-.

sentiment. They sent us Washing

lustrate it are interesting in the
highest degree.

lost their baby, aged months,
weeks and days. and it was inferred
at Yuma cemetery on Thursday last.
Rev. Thompson preached the funeral
sermon.
The body of Mrs. Scott. relict of

the Bethesda cemetery and the fu-
neral services were conducted by
Rev. DE Mundrum, of the United

You need not publish it in Gath,
nor make common talk of it upon
the streets Of Jerusalem. Neverthe-
less we must blow little over the
fact that the Yuma boys defeated the
Rock Island amateurs on Wednes-
day last upon the Joslin fair grounds.
Considerable interest was manifested
in the game. and kilograms were sent
from the cities below during its pro-
gress making inquiries as to how the
game was going. The Rock Island
boys had come with q determination
to beat the Zumas, and were several
tallies ahead at one time. At the
finish the game stood 12 to Is. with

Romany Folk.

A band of wandering gypsies camped
on the edge of town for two or three
days this week, and many young man
and maiden of Plymouth crossed the
yer, in desire to learn what the future
has in store for them. These gypsies
like most of their class, seen in this
country, presented sorry appearance,
and, judging from their looks, did not
set much store by the old adage, that
Cleanliness is next to Goodness" their
faces looking as though they were un-
acquainted with the use of water, as a
cleansing medium.
Still there are many people in this en-
livened age that firmly believe that
these wandering gypsies are endowed
with supernatural powers of fortune
reading. How this can be so, it is hard
to see, there would seem to be nothing
in the life of nomadic, lazy, wandering
oft times dishonest, and dirty man or
woman, that should vouchsafe to them
any further or more explicit understand
ing of the unknown future than to the
average citizen, still it is fact that pop
ular opinion seems to have invested the
gypsy, with halo of semi-supernatur-
al ability.
There is wide difference between
the gypsies of America, and the original
Romany folk of Europe, which may ac
count, in some manner, for the defer
ence which ignorance has given to all
classes of these people. The gypsies of
Europe are race in themselves, having
a language, customs, and laws peculiar
to themselves, and leading life of hon
est industry. In England the home of
the gypsies is in Epping Forest, though
during the winter months many. of

on the ground of being in conflict with
i. The republicans contend, that both
the act of 1881 and the act of 1891 are
in force, that each provide for separate
things, and that the one provides for
the creation of new wards where it
would be necessary to provide addition
al councilmen, and that the latter act
provides merely for re-districting the
wards and did not contemplate the Gre
alton of new ward or the election of
additional members of the council.
The republicans contend that where
it was proposed to create a new ward
and to increase the number of council
men and consequently the expenses of
city government, the legislature intend
ed by the former act to give the voters
of the city voice in determining the
matter, but that where it was sought
only to re-district the city into wards
and where it would not be necessary to
add to the number of councilmen or in
crease the burdens of the tax payers,
authority to do this was vested by the
act of 1891 in the common council
alone.
To man up tree who has no spec
ial interest, except that of a citizen,
in the controversy, it would seem that
the republican position is the most just
and reasonable one. However, we are
aware that good lawyers seem to differ
ON the legal questions involved. 1t is
probable that the question will not be
settled to the satisfaction of anybody
until determined by the court of last re-
sort.
We understand that a petition was
filed yesterday in the circuit court for
the purpose of compelling the mayor
and city clerk to recognize the newly
appointed cOuncilmen as such, and the
legal battle now being on we suppose
it will continued until definitely deter
mined in the courts.
The situation suggests to us the
propriety of propounding the following
question to the voters of the city: If
the two old parties have become SO en-
bittered against each other and SO
greedy for the spoils of office as give
rise to controversies of this kind, in
which the tax payers alone suffer, why
would it not be a good idea at the next
election to entrust the administration
of city affairs to a party that regards
principals above spoils, that has never
been engaged in such an unseemly
wrangle at any time or place-the Peo-
pies Party?

Young America.

The small boy is in his glory. There
are heeps of dried maple leaves to rake
up and every opportunity to build big
bonfires, and he has not overlooked the
chance by any manner of means. This
is fun and as such demands young
Americas earnest attention. It's easy
to work an hour or two to start street
bonfire, but mighty hard TO split kind
ling for the kitchen stove or carry
basket of cobs into the house. Isn't
that so boys? OF course 1t is. Now If
you would make life easier try and not
make hard work or your pastimes but
make pleasures of those little house
hold duties which, when performed con-
scienteously and thoughtfully will give
you the satisfaction of knowing that
"each day sees some task completed,
something done" that will entitle you to
the praise which indulgent parents are
only too willing to accord you, and will
fit you for the battle of life which you
will have to fight latter, and perhaps at
a time when grim death has deprived
you of the advantage of those whose
paternal or maternal guidance you
should prize so highly now. Snow will
soon be here and the old bob sled which
has been laying out all summer under
the trees or up amongst the hay in the
barn, can be brought into use and then
you can get out and work hard at your
winter pastime. . But don't forget that
if you ever in after life put as much en-
ergy into your business as you now do
in your play, you will surely start on
the high road to ultimate success.

Silence and Fun.

Hi Henry's minstrel company of 40
star performers will appear at the Opera
House on Monday Oct. %, amongst
their number will be found the old time
minstrel man Frank f. McNish.
Frank McNish was the originator of
the 'silence and fun act which won for
him fame throughout this country and
Europe. As member of Colonel Jack
Haverly's original Mastodon minstrels,
during their memorable European tour
McNish was crowned with favOrs and
in London vast crowds came nightly to
see him in the one act that has made
his name a household word in the an
mails of modern ministrelsy.
No minstrel artist has ever equalled
this man in his own specialties, he has
had hundred of imitators but no peer as
a dancer and comedian. When Billy
Rice, Hughey Daugherty, Ed Kane,
Banks Winter, The Bohee Brothers, Lou
Dockstader and host of other lights in
the armament of Americ; n ministrelsy
were gaining fame, the position which
Frank f. McNish now occupies at the
head of all minstrel men of his class,
was his by right of his originality III Vi,
Henry may well congratulate himself
upon the acquisition of so clever mem
Der of his well known minstrel company
and the citizens Of Plymouth will have
an opportunity on Monday evening to
see McNish and company of the clev-
crest minstrel men that have ever played
this circuit. Go and see Hi Henry's Min
strels and enjoy an evening of unalloyed
amusement.
