A Stone Pile.

We have upon previous occasions
called the attention of our city author
ties to the feasibility of stone pile OF
some other remedy, for the benefit of
the tramp nuisance in Plymouth. Our
citizens are entitled to some security
from this growing evil, which is becom-
ing a curse to our city. Every night
scores of this class gather in our city,
and in the morning, after the male
members of the household go to their
business, these teaches scatter through
out the town, and poster the housewife
with their demands for something to
eat or clothing to wear, and in numer-
Gus instances for money.
Those asking for the actual necessi-
ties of life could be tolerated, if it was
not for the vicious element that seems
to be in the majority. Last Monday
gave ample illustration of this class
that are becoming more numerous every
day.
1t is time to act in this matter, and

believe to be very oppressive, will fur
nish them with pleasant surprise; for
though the suns rays at time are very
warm, yet the cooling winds that this
country is noted for, makes up for the
summer heat.

Wonderful.

An endless string of people have been
making their way down the streets of
Plymouth, Ind, to the custom depart
ment of M. Lauer & Son where the
world renowned S4.25, pants made to
order to fit everybody are sold. We did
not know there were so many people in
Plymouth, and are surprised at the
amount of pants they are selling. 1t is
no wonder, the elegant goods that the
Apollo Custom Pants Mnfrs. of Chi
cago, LII. put in their pants. We under
stand that this firm are making the
world renowned $4.25, custom trousers
which they make to order to the exact
measure of the customer. They pur-
chased from the receiver of the late firm
of Field, Benedict & Co. the entire stock
of imported and domestic woolens and
worsteds. These goods value from s.
to 81 per yard, they put the light
weights on sale now. This firm is the
largest of its kind in the United States
making over 500 pairs of pants to order
every day in their tailor shops on their
own premises. NJ. Lauer & Son are the
local agents at Plymouth, Ind. II
would pay you to examine these elegant
goods and have them take your order
for the world renowned trousers which

Returned From Georgia.

Mr.. j. ID. Molter and James n. Hem
minger, who left Plymouth couple of
weeks ago for tour through Georgia,
returned home Thursday of last week
well pleased, not only with the country,
but with the reception they received at
the hands of the inhabitants of that
state. They are very much pleased
over the possibilities to be found there
for the northern farmer, and told a
number of amusing incidents that oc-
CURED during their brief sojourn.
Mr.. Molter brought back with him
specimens of the soil found in that To-
cality, and to those who are acquainted
with the blue grass region of Kentucky,
discover in the samples something SIM
liar to the famous soil of Kentucky.
One of the prominent features connect
en- with this portion of the state visited,
is the enormous growth of timber, CON-
posed chiefly of oaks of all kinds, pine,
beech and hickery. The climate, which

A Narrow Escape.

Thursday of last week there was
quite an excitement created at Walker
ton, owing to wreck on the B. & O.
road. A freight train was pulling out of
that place, when a car loaded with nails
broke in two. The next car happened
to be load of cinders which was tele-
scoped, dumping the entire load of
cinders upon the car preceding it. When
the train men arrived at the wreck
smothered cries and groans were heard
under the large heap of debris. Word
was sent to Walkerton, and Jim. Hard
enbrook, of that place, secured an axe
and repaired to the scene. After hard
struggle in cutting away timbers, re-
moving kegs of nails, and with their
hands dragging the cinders out of the
way, they succeeded in finding three
men who were buried underneath the
wreck. While the men were badly
bruised, not a bone was found to be
broken.

A FEW IMPROVEMENTS.
Those Seen by an Independent Re
porter, and Others Needed.

When we started out on our Observa-
tion tour this week we started north on
Michigan street, but did not see much in
the line of Improvements. But we dis
covered shortly that Mr. 5. T. Jacox was
getting ready to put fine side walk in
place, which has been needed for some
time. We might remark that i'm
provement along this line is badly need
ed in front of the Altman property
little south.
On East Jefferson street we saw new
coy cottage under construction which
we learned belongs to Mr.. sam Miller.
Continuing north on Michigan street,
we noted the improvements that always
go to make up a beautiful town, the
lawns were all nicely cut and the flower
beds newly made. But owing to the
possible depredations of Jack Frost.car
pets and paper obscured the sight Of
the growing plants.
Between Jackson and Monroe streets
the new residence of y. Stevens is mOv-
ing along rapidly. When completed it
will be a sample of neat architectural
workmanship. Henry Schultheiss, has
about completed comfortable home
between Jackson and Madison streets.
Reaching the brow Of the hill we seen
new residence on North Michigan
street, which we are informed is the
property of Andrew Snyder. 1t will
soon be ready for occupancy.
Proceeding west on North street we
begin to despair. Looking north over
the klinger addition, we see SO many
new houses, that we became convinced
that it was an impossibility to enumer
ate them. Here is an addition to our
city, that one year ago, scarcely house
graced the beautiful rolling prairie, but
now, substantial, coy homes dote the
entire area. But being determined to
do the best we could, this is what
we learned from the carpenters and
plasterers who were at work in that To-
cality. On the corner of Walnut and
North streets, Mr.. John Miller has a
one story and half residence enclosed,
and it will be ready for occupancy in a
few weeks. Andy Molter, Sr., knowing
the demand Cor residences, has com
menced the erection of a modest story
and half house on Walnut, and SO
many people have desired to rent the
house as soon as completed, that he
will immediately commence the erec-
tion of another house on the joining lot.
Fred Mast also occupies new house
just north of the MOlter property, that
was completed this spring.
Between North and Madison, new
residence occupied by Mrs. Jeffries, and
another still uncompleted being erected
by Mr.. Keller greets the eye And
still there is room for more. We must
acknowledge we were impressed by the
lay of the land in this end of our city
and there is not the slightest doubt ii

Complimentary Notices.

There is no more reason why grocer,
or butcher or a dry goods merchant, or
any other private interests should ask a
newspaper for a free notice of their
business or OF something which Will be
solely to their pecuniary benefit, than
there is for a newspaper proprietor TO
ask the grocer for bushel of potatoes,
the butcher for ham, or the dry goods
merchant for bolt of sheeting. Any
such requests on either side is the
height of impertinence. The grocer,
the baker, the butcher, the dry goods
merchant and the lawyer make their
living by selling their wares, not by Civ
ing them away. But if their various
callings are not public charities neither
is a newspaper. Neither of them can
afford to bestOw their benefits on the
general public without price for the
commodities they deal in. The relation
OF newspaper to the public is the same
as that of any other legitimate business
People who think a grocer does not give
enough Sugar for a dollar viii 90 to
some other grocer who they imagine
VIII give more. Those who think a
newspaper does not give them their
moneys worth in the publicity they de
sire will go elsewhere for their advertis-
ing. II they are satisfied with the me-
dium and the price they are willing TO
1T. They have no more right to ask
for an extra notice free. than they have to
ask the grocer to give them pound of
smoking tobacco or a bushel of apples
occasionally just because they buy their
sugar of the grocer at just the same
price they would pay elsewhere. To get
up paper 50 as to make an advertise
ment in it desirable costs much money,
and newspaper is established like any
other business to realize profit on the
investment in the plant. In this day a
good newspaper is as important an
auxiliary to the prosperity of all classes
as any other branch of business, and it
can no more live and be successful by
giving away the commodities it has for
sale than can the merchant or the me-
chanip

Telephone Exchange.

The matter of telephone rates at Ar
gos, seems to worry the Republican. but
if they will investigate they will find
Argos pays as much for service as Ply
mouth, proportionately, as the rate of
service depends largely upon the num-
Der of persons accessible. Chicago
pays Sl25 up per annuW: no free toll.
Goshen, with forty instruments,
no toll, pays $50 and Sis. There is not
town in Indiana with cheaper tele-
telephone service than Plymouth.

The evening session will be devoted
to the eXemplification OF the secret
work, and will convene at 7:30 sharp.
