Eighty acres of Morgan county
land will yield Il better living than
800 elsewhere. If a man goes in for
market gardening or fruit raising,
half that is MS much as he can attend
to properly. One man, who is by no
| means the poorest resident of the
county, owns only 10 acres. From
| his bees alone he has this year clear
4 ed $500. Another man will make
4 $3.50 from 1900 bushels of onions
raised on three acres.
This years yields are almost be-
yond belief. Think of wheat aver
aging - bushels an acre; oats rs
bushels; alfalfa ) tons; potatoes $50
bushels. And this, mind you, year
in and year out. No crop failures;
no chance of cropfailures; no malaria
no bitter cold; no intense heat; no
d.outh. Prosperity and plenty every
where.
Detailed information about Morgan
county is contained in an illustrated
booklet issued by the passenger de-
par6ment of the Burlington Route
and now ready COR distribution. A
copy will be mailed to any n who
will write to j. Francis, G.. p, A.,

really in earnest in his desire to find
IL better location than his present
one, will fail to do this.

BASE BALL.
Another Defeat Entered Against
the MaroonS.

Oh, "where am l at is the expression
that could be depicted upon the faces
of our base ball boys, when they re-
turned from the fair ground yesterday
evening. The "hoodo" was abroad and
settled down on the Maroon'S side of
the game with a vengence.
1t is said that ball teams like rheuma
tism has it's times, and we will have to
take advantage of this truthful saying
and give our boys the benefit. To say
that they played ball yesterday would
be mistake. But they can play ball

IL, we are still ready to swear by our
home club.
The Bremen club did excellent work
and when they got started they,-well,
they didn't now when to stop. Outside
of the rank game our boys did some
excellent work, but was so scattering
throughout the game as to be of little
avail.

The Notorious.

Once on time, according to Biblical
history, there were two people struck
dead for telling untruths and conceal
ing money that rightfully belonged to
some one else. We, of course are not
living in that age, nor do we think or
believe when a fellow citizen is struck
down in the prime of life by some dread
disease, that it is the result of prevari-
cation.
But we do believe it would be a
good thing, if the organic laws were so
constructed that some of the notorious
liars who live to-day, would receive a
tickling sensation at their throats that
would give them such a scare that they
forever would refrain from stick
ing their peculiarly constructed nose
into other peoples business, and forev-
er afterwards tell the truth.
There are some people who believe in
conducting their business to suit their
consciences and purses, but when, in the
conducting VI tHclI dildlo, lHoy w HoC
concur in the ideas advanced by some
men who have not the nerve or even
the ability to undertake the march of
advancement, they receive the condem-
nation of this, curse of the 18th century
The time will come, when these men
who desire to crush their neighbors be-
cause they are not of the same turn OF
mind, when they will be compelledto is
sOlate themselves from the companion
ship of progressive men, and like the
lepers of old, compelled to cry out to

Salary Grab.

Ever since the council acted upon, and
voted the increase OF salary, our
Friend Mcdonald, of the Democrat,
has ripped the council up the back,
SO to speak. The Republican, the sup
posed official organ of the republican
party, has silently ignored the questions
propOunded 10y the Democrat, and has
not up to date stated its position on this
seemingly important question.
As we are, at this time, strictly out
side of party lines, we have carefully
investigated this subject, and will give
it to our readers in a tabuiated form,
as far back as 1893, the salaries drawn
by our city officials. 1t is for our read
erS to decide whether the present city
administration Oyersteped their duty to
the people, when the increase of salary
was made. The following is a correct
statement of the salaries drawn by the
different city officials from 1893, up to
this date, and shows the salaries fixed
by the council for the years 1893, 1894
and 1895, and total for all:

A CHANGE MADE.
Tne Independent After July 1st will
be Under New Management.

The INDEPENDENT for some time
past has been labOring under consider
able disadvantage, especially has this
been the case, since the retirement un-
der a cloud, of J. B. Ashley. knowing
this to he fact, and not desiring again
to place in position in connection with
this publication, stranger to assist rs
in the laborious work as an assistant,
we became convinced that the only way
for us to do, was to sell an interest in
the INDEPENDENT.
Acting upon this suggestion that
came to us, we have after considerable
negotiation sold half interest to Mr.
\. ID. Smith, who has for the past nine
months been connected with the Joliet
Ill. Daily and Weekly Republican. Mr.
Smith is a newspaper man of large ex-
perience and marked ability. lie has
been connected with newspaper work
in the past with the present publisher
of the INDEPENDENT and therefore will
need no recOmmendatiOn to the people
of Plymouth. Mr.. Smith has been in
our city on two different occasions, at
one time with us before this publication
was established, and is thoroughly i'm
pressed with the beauties of our fair
city, and its ability from a business
standpoint, to tower above any compel
ing corporation for favors.
1t is not necessary for us to laud the
ability of Mr.. Smith. His eminent fit
ness for the newspaper work, and his
ability as writer, can speak for itself,
and being a talented, affable and intel
ligent gentleman, his work in Plym-
outh, will be his best reference.
The political lines Of the INDEPEND-
ENT, will remain the same as in the past,
for the present at least. The efforts Of
its publishers will be to give its readers,
good local paper, and endeavoring to
improve many features, which presents
themselves.
1t is with a heart full of gratitude
that we desire to thank those who have
stood Loyalty by the INDEPENDENT dur
ing its short stay in Plymouth, and al
though at times the future looked dark
before us, our faith in the ultimate sue
cess of the INDEPENDENT never
wavered; and with the assurance that
the efforts put forth in the past has
been appreciated, the new firm will
boldly launch out for the success that
we know awaits us in the future.
Respectfully yours,

that town, by issuing a proclamation,
all saloons should be closed on Sundays,

of a woman Who had been shot in this

gambling heils, danceing halls, and
every device that the human mind can
originate to defraud the poor illiterate
hobo Of his hard earned cash. We be-
lieve the citizens of LemOnt are not re
sp0nsible for this class of men being
among them, but their city officials are
responsible for the laws that permit
such lawlessness. The mayor permits
all saloons to run wide open on Sundays
contrary to the laws of Illinois, and
tries to smooth it over by ordering them
closed on sunday, between the hours of
nine and twelve a. M, giving them the
remainder Of the day to continue their
death dealing business.

While any controversary between the
INDEPENDENT and a publication in an
other state, is of no concern or interest
to our readers, sometimes it is necessary
to speak out in "meetin," regarding
some matters that does not pertain to
Plymouth, and Marshall county.

report that the president of the town

position that astounded the citizens of

This is not a Fish Story.

Under the above head the Valparaiso
Star, gives its readers a good story, and
we would wage, every nickel we have it
is true. 1t always remains for the other
fellow to tell yarn that has asuspieion
of untruth about it. 1t says:
Our esteemed fellow-citizen, George
Finney, and little son, were at Flint
Lake yesterday engaged in tempting the
tinny tribe. George is an expert angler,
but somehow during the greater part
of the day the fish seemed to have
evaded his tempting bait.
1t was toward evening and his little
son was seated in the boat with his legs
dangling over the side and his feet
trailing in the cool water For two
hours silence had reigned supreme.
Not a word had been spoken and the
communications between father and
son had been carried on 10y gestures.
All at once the monotony of the sur
rounding stiffness was broken by a
wild and piercing scream, which emf
mated from the boy. lie was seen TO
throw himself into the boat and lay
white and still in the bottom thereof.
The father dropped the fish pole and
hurried TO the assistance of his son.
Upon investigation it was found that
big black bass, weighing almost five
pounds, had seized the boys big toe in
its mouth and was still hanging on
when Mr.. Finney secured it.
After the father and son had recov-
cred from their scare, they cast out
their lines and were rewarded with two
large bass. Again the lines were
spread with even better results. This
success continued until fine string of
bass had been landed, when the fisher
men returned to this city.
To-day they show no signs of having
been the paaties in thrilling expert
ence, which both will long remember
with mingled pleasure and surprise.
