PERPETUAL MOTION.
frederick Robertson, Of Teegarden,
Believes He Has It.

This vicinity bids fair to furnish to
the world, in the person of Frederick
Robertson, of near Teegarden. the most
lllustrious inventor of all the ages. Mr..
Robertson has invented a machine
which, according to our reports from
NalkertOn, runs like lightning and is
said to be practical embodiment of
perpetual motion.
Such machine has been dreamed of
for centuries. Inventors have studied
and tOiled and hoped to startle the
world with some mechanical cOntriv-
ance that would run on and on perpet-
ually with a practical application to
machinery of all kinds, and have stud
led and toiled and hoped in vain. Where
laurels were promised by the fevered
imagination the brow has been worn by
care and sorrow, and the self promising
inventor has reaped only a whirlwind
OF disappointment and vain regrets.
But slow and measured series of evo-
lutions has wrought a mighty change
IN all things since the first dreamer of
perpetual motion attempted to convert
his dreams into something of palpable
form and substance that would give
him glory in realization. The Nine
teenth Century has produced such mar
vels in the field of applied mechanics
that the truth is hard to grasp and now,
if, at the close of the most progressive
century the world has ever known, a
machine which for all practical pur-
poses shall approximate perpetual mo-
tion shall be invented and given to the
world as new motive power, the
world, rather than being incredulOus,
will accept it as the logical climax to all
that has gone before. The mysterious
resources Of nature are by no means
exhausted and the man who can read
her long hidden secrets may yet come
forth to startle the world again and
again with undreamed of discoveries.

Circus Day.

If there is any one thing in the life
of young Americans that causes him to
lose his sleep, it is the announcement
that a circus will soon put in an appear
ance in the town he lives in. There is
not gray-haired sire, who has not ex
perienced the same peculiar sensations
that premetes the boy of to-day. After
the bill posters have decorated the bill
boards with their highly colored litho
graphs, you will see him stand before
those representations of athletic skill,
and in undertOnes converse with his
boon companions, telling how he carried
in wood for neighbor Jones, for ten
cents, and drove the cow to pasture for
neighbor Smith, and received a like
compensation, and how the last errand
he run for some maiden lady gave him
the required amount, so that he had a
sufficient amount to go to the circus
And as we looked upon the countenance
of that bare footed boy and note the
glow Of enthusiasm that illuminates
his face, it causes a thrill of intense
emotion to vibrate through our heart
as we look back in the past when we
were boy, and dream over the same
ambitions that occurred to us before
circus day.
There is not pastime of our lives
more sacred than our childhood days;
and when years have passed by and
gray hairs appear, and our steps
weighed down and oppressed by years,
the days of our boyhood are as vividly
portrayed on our mind as though but
yesterday.
We believe in letting the boys go to
the circus. While some parents may to
some extent be opposed to that kind of
amusement, and object to the youth riv-
cling in the enjoyments to be found
there, yet we believe more harm is act

Clean, Neat and HANDY.

Fred III. Kuhn has just completed and
is this afternoon moving into his new
meat market in his own new building
on Michigan street.
1t is an exemplary business place, fit
ted with all the latest cOnveniences,
such as would make any butchers heart
glad to gaze upon. Finished as it is in
natural wood in hard oil finish, elegant
racks of the latest pattern, two fine cut
ting blocks and an L counter with mar
BILE slab on top. An octagon shaped
office occupies prominent place at one
side of the room and a refrigerator ii
feet square stands just back of the
counter. The workshop is located in
the rear out of sight from in front and
is fitted with benches, blocks, and ev-
cry convenience required.
The walls are wainScoted three feet
high around the whole room, making a
neat and handsome appearance,
In all it is probably the neatest and
finest meat market to be found in
Northern Indiana. Mr.. Kuhn and our
citizens may well be proud of it.

August >, at the Reformed church
parsonage, Mr.. George T. Raymond and
Miss Jennie Meegan were married at 3

Meegan, now of Nebraska, and the
groom an auctioneer now of South
Bend, formerly of Minnesota South
Bend Times.
Miss Jennie Meegan, formerly resided

surely wish their former associate un-
bounded happiness and success in this
new venture.

Relic Of Glacial Epoch.

y remarkably fine specimen of stone.
which was evidently carried to its rest
ing place here as part of the glacial
drift, was unearthed recently on the
premises of the Indiana Manufacturing
Co. 1t was found at depth of about
five feet from the surface and is re-
markable from the fact that it bears
such plain and unmistakable evidence
of its being relic of the glacial epoch.
On one side its grooves are as clearly
and cleanly defined as though they had
been recently cut by a chisel. Its
weight is about 300 pounds Some
smaller and less valuable specimens
were also found. The large one will be
presented to the high school in this city.

The New Woman.

The new woman has been talked
about, written, sung and preached
about until she is really becoming quite
notorious. Her bifurcated skirts, her
bloomers and her knickerbockers, her
speech, her manner and the lines and
proportions of her figure have been var
iously discussed, praised, condemned,
sketched, caricatured and Haunted to
the public gaze until her fame has been
proclaimed throughout the land. She is
at once curiosity, wonder and an
unfathomable mystery who, having
been seized by an ungovernable impulse
to ignore established customs and set
the world agog, has, by a strange ca
price of fate, been lead to exhibit her
self to the world as public show. The
world gazes and its fancy is caught. 1t
is amazed and it falls into speculation
as to what will be the next sensation.
But, after all, it is encouraging to know
that the "neW woman" is not in the
majority and that the sweet, affec-
tionate, modest and womanly woman,
the gentle, etfeminate, skirted woman,
the woman to love and cherish and, if
need be to live and to die for, is still a
woman Of the present.

Pocketbook Lost and Found.

This did not occur in Plymouth yes
terday, but at Michigan City. The book
also contained large sum of money.
In our city the thieves that usually fol-
low Barnum and Bailey's show got in
their work in excellent shape, and there
was, as we are informed, but one pock-
9tbook that came back, and that was
through the columns of the INEPENDD-
ENT. OF course the tempting array of
greenbacks, and a sprinlIling of the 16

glad to receive the book with valuable
papers therein unmolested.

OTHER ROBBERIES.
A Serious Objection.

There is one feature connected with
the Barnum- Bailey show that should
be remedied. That one feature has a
tendency to create great deal of dis
satisfaction among its patrons. This
is found in connection with the ''grand
concert given at the end of the circus
performance.
The people as rule, expect to be
humbuged in a small degree at this
part of the entertainment; but they do
not expect after giving up their money
for this part of the performance to have
the fifteen minute show given them,
disturbed by the uproar Of removing

Advertising Writing.

Business competition, which is be-
coming closer, more scientific and sys-
tematic from year to year, is constantly
leading TO the development of new con-
ditions which grow apace as new re-
qulrementS demand them. a most not
able and wholesome feature of recent
trade development is that of profession
ally written advertising for all depart
ments of manufacturing and retail bus
iness. The end of the Nineteenth cen
tury will mark an age of professional
advertising writing just as it will
mark an era in the marvels of elec-
tricity or greater degree of perfection
in surgical and medical skill. The field
of advertising writing is already par
TALLY occupied by corps of writers
better known to advertisers than is the
author of the latest sensational novel
to the general public. Their work is not
confined either to large establishments
whose advertising involves the yearly
expenditure of fortunes, but is rapidly
finding its way into the space used by
countless smaller merchants who may
spend anywhere from one to five hun
dred dollars yearly in a single good
medium, and is proving, more than ever
before that advertising is the one indis-
pensible factor in the achievement of
marked success in almost any business

A Homley Truth.

"An editors life is a constant trial.
and all his delinquent subscribers are
on the jury
The writer Of the above surely must
have tasted the bitter dregs that accom-
pany the desire for revenue to meet a
paper bill, or perhaps grocery
or rent bill. 1t has been demonstrated
scores of times the hard trials that ac-
company the ventursome human being
that egotistically thinks his calling is
in the journalistic fields There are a
large number of men in this field, who
do deserve credit for the manner in
which they set forth the needs of the
hour. But what is the reward?
There is not the slightest doubt in the
minds OF intellent people that the editor
fills a position in life that goes great
way in Tightening the burdens of the
masses, and it is fact, that he is the
poorest paid, in great many instances
receiving nothing but abuse for doing
what he conscientously believes is the
right thing to do to help along the NOR.
al enlightenment of the community in
which he lives. Some newspaper men.
have by rigid economy, arrived at that
point in life where they can majestical-
ly wave their hands, and command re-
spect. In number of cases this re-
spect is not forth coming, owing to the
benefits the community have derived
through their presence or the benefits
the organ they are connected with has
given theis community, but more from
dread of the bitter denunciation of
the people through the searching write
ups through the columns of the paper.
Other men with more ability, an honest
desire to see the place where they are
located in prosper, who give their read
ers better and more comprehensive epi-
tome of the happenings of their imme
diate neighborhood week after week,
and who strictly steer clear of personal
animosities, seem to fall into line to re-
ceive the benefit of the utterances util
lied by the writer of the above quota
ton.
There is no man on earth who does
more for the surrounding neighborhood
in which he lives, than the one who
from week to week gives his readers the
news of the day. The neglect to pay
subscription by subscriber is not a de-
sire to defend the newspaper editor, but
sheer carelessness on the part of the
reader. 1t will casually come to him
that he owes theprinter a year subscrip-
ton; but the amount is so small that he
is apt to think it does not amount to
very much, and the sum being SO small
that it would not amount to much.
But there is where a subscriber makes
a fatal mistake, He does not take into
consideration that five hundred more
people are liable to take the same view,
and thus the editor is compelled to defer
paying his honest debts owing to the
carelessness of his subscribers. Many
newspapers throughout the country
have been compelled to suspend publ
cation owing to this very important
neglect.

After the Circus.

The greatest show on earth has come
and gone. 1t came and went in all the
glory of magniicence and mingled Oc-
cidental and Oriental splendor and gor-
geous equipage and trappings that are
characteristic of the most renowned of
all tented amusement exhibits.
Plymouth has lapsed back to-day
into her usual state of peace and quiet
To most people, yesterday was day of
unwonted pleasure, as witnessed by
thousands who turned out to testify to
the place the great Barnum Il Bailey
show occupies in the hearts and minds
CT the American people. For Plymouth
it was great day. 1t is asserted by
old inhabitants that no such number of
people were ever brought together here
in single day before. People came
from all directions, from far and near.
All classes and ages were represented
for there are few people who can not
afford the occasional opportunity pre-
sented yesterday, and the show is at
tractive alike to the very young and to
the very old. As to the show itself it is
a marvel 1t is great national educa-
tional amusement. 1t affords means
of seeing and learning many things
that is afforded millions of the great
American people in no other way. To
countless numbers of these it takes the
place of theatres, geological gardens and
museums of every kind. Farewell and
success to the greatest show on earth.

Glory.

Wednesdays Daily
Just after midnight the people began
to straggle into Plymouth, some On
freight trains, some by team, and still
others on foot. The small boy had slept
with one eye open and long before the

big train arrived he was at the Pitts
burg depot in full force waiting to see
them unload. About five o'clock the
first section arrived, closely followed by
two more-a total of % large cars loaded
as only circus crew knows how to load.
There were fully eight hundred people
there to greet them and the crowd soon
swelled to thousand. The circus men
quickly commenced their work and the
systematical manner in which they
went at it was wonder to the people.
The large crowd who had stood around
the depot shivering in the dense cold
morning fog were we'll paid for their
trouble for it was well worth any ones
time TO see how such mammoth busi
ness was handled in SO short time.
BY nine o'clock in the morning fully
10000 people were on the streets. The
weather was perfect and everybody
turned out. On all country roads as far
as the eye could see string of wagons
was coming in just as close together as
they could drive, and every train car
ried all they could pile on. Everybody
was bent on having a good time and
they are good natured, motley gather
ing. The peanut and popcorn vender,
the lemonade man and the toy balloon
man are alike in their glory. Altogether
Plymouth probably never had as large
or happy throng of people within her
gates before. Every available spot was
occupied to witness the parade this
morning and choice spots were at a
premium.
Every merchant has prepared for a
big crowd and the people will be well
cared for. Each merchant has doubled

good business. Every available spot is
taken by followers of the circus with
striking machines, bail throwing and
rifle shooting apparatus.
The crowd at the grounds is simply
immense. Thousands followed the par
ade back to the mammoth tents and
witnessed the free outside exhibition.
There is no doubling that the mann
moth aggregation is all that the owners
claim for it, and the many who came
from far and near to gaze upon its
wonders will go home tonight tired but
glad they came and that they had an
opportunity to see what many of them
never saw before and may never have
chance to see again.
AS yet no accidents have been report
ed. The city has been well taken care
of, Mr.. Swindell having appointed 10
special police, who under the able di
rection of Chief Myers, are patroling
all parts of the city.
Altogether it as a grand gala day and
one long TO be remembered by all.
