Burglars broke into the general store
of T.. r. Burgner X Bros, OF Donnelson.
Ind, yesterday morning about $50
o'clock. The Sherland boys were sleep
ing in the store and sam Burgner was
writing behind the desk. AIr. Burgner
heard them break the door in and he
dropped down SO they couldn't see him.
They bound the boys and one of the
thieves watched them. In the meantime
Mr.. Burgner made an attempt to get out
of the window, but the burglars hearing
him covered him with a revolver and
tied hlm 50 as to make it impossible for
him to hinder their progress. They re-
lieyed him of $40, couple of watches
and other minor articles and helped
themselves To a lunch. They then left
for parts unknown, and officers have
had no traces of their whereabouts.

If the future and progress of city
depended upon such class of men,
Fortuna, in her march UP and down the
earth seeking opportunities to bestOw
fayors, would pass by in the night, and
not even leave her mark of appreciation
upon the door-post OF our habitation
The only way that such opinions can
be removed from the minds of those
who desire to see prosperity visit us, is
for those who arethe land owners along
our principal streets, TO show their
good will, by their hearty cooperation
in this march of advanced civilization,
or step aside and let the band wagon
and the procession move on.

a Denartment store

\ rumor has been prevalent on the
streets that large department store
was TO occupy the twosouth store rooms,
and the floors above and below them in
the new building to be erected at La
Porte and Michigan streets. Mr.. Corbin
admitted to an INDEPENDENT reporter
that negotiations looking to that end
were in progress, but said they had not
been completed. lie refused to give out
the names of the parties in the deal as
the matter had not been fully closed up

1t has been noted 10y those who keep
their eyes open, that our sister city
Walkerton, and also Bourbon, are
moving out along the line of progress,
and are forming business mems associa-
tions. These formations are but for
one purpose, and that is the induce
ment of manufacturing enterprises to
establish within their borders. They
have seen the necessity of working to
derive these benefits, and they are not
slow in taking hold of the matter in
business like manner.

And while we dwell for a moment
along the highway of modern progress
ivenesS, we are constrained to bemOan
the fate that may lie in store for our
city, if we were compelled to depend
upon those who are inactive, and hold
the key to a certain extent, of the stu
alton, that Will lead to great advance
ment in our city. There is to-day
more than one location along the thor
oughfares OF our city, for the erection
of elegant and modern equipped busi-
ness houses, that lie idle owing to the
fact that the owners do not see fit to
erect business houses upon them. Or
even when approached by those who de
sire 10 invest money and advance the
interests OF Plymouth. give n0 satiSfac-
tory evidence of their desire to see their
city advance. These same people will
sometimes elaborate upon what they
have done for the town in the remote
past; but when it comes to assisting in
the work at the time when their efforts
will be truly appreciated, they are not
in it at all.

1t is proper to say, that while our
neighbors are preparing for future ben
efits, Plymouth is not asleep. Although
for the past four or five months bust
ness has been in quiet condition, yet
with the opening of spring, we begin to
look about us for something to invigor-
ate the mercantile life. We do not
doubt that ere many weeks movements
will be placed on foot that will stir the
sluggish blood of those who are inter
ested in the upbuilding of one of the
best cities in the universe.

We observe with delight that our Sis
ter state, Illinois, is about to pass law
whereby bachelors will be compelled to
pay a tax for remaining single. The
sucker state has her full quota of bach

that these lone ladies' that have trav-
eled down the thorny path OF single
blessedness, shall derive a blessing by
not receiving the help of the scores of
bachelors who have passed the midday
of their life without wife to sew on

They Tried But Failed TO Draw Ont Repub-

The meeting Of the Senate Finance Commit
tee yesterday was devoted to discussion Of
the Vest and Mcpherson financial bills which
were presented yesterday. No action was
taken aad the committee adjourned until
Tuesday. when it is expected that Mr.. Jones
will have a bill to be considered by the COM
mittee
1t was stated that the prospects Of financial
legislation had not been frightened materi-
ally by the meeting. Senator Jones was not
present
The Democratic members who had been
very hopeful that the meeting would develop
some expression in regard to the attitude of
the Republicans on the committee were more
or less disappointed. for the minority mem
bers did not expose their plans further than
to repeat that they preferred there should be
evidence OF unanimity among the Democratic
members and substantial agreement among
them on the terms OF a bill before the Repub-
licans would feel called upon to actively par
ticipate in the making up of a bill.
1hey found little evidence in the express
sion of their Democratic colleagues that there
was likely TO be an early agreement.
A leading Republican member of the COM
mittee said after adjournment that there were
as many opinions as to the bill demanded for
the occasion as there were Democratic mem
bers Of the committee.
The discussion. therefore, was confined
largely TO the Democratic members, and
while il soon became evident that it would
be impossible to agree on the basis OF the
Vest bill, spirit OF conciliation and COM
promise was displayed so prominently as TO
lead to some hope among Democratic men,
bers that an agreement might yet be reached.
