(Fennlmore Times. !

IraNeling-men are said to have the

times strange things happen to these
knights of the grip And still the
following incident Is absolutely true.

The kind lady, Mrs. Storrs, immedi-
ately applied a generous poultice Of

that poultice IL just grand. Nothing

A Peculiar People.

The city council of Rochester refused
to graut the Plymouth Telephone com
pany franchise to put in telephone
plant, with charges of S2l per year rent
for business houses and SlS for resi-
dences, claiming that this rental was
too high, and for the further reason
that they desired connection with other
parts of the world besides Argos, Plym-
outh, Bremen and Mackenkuckee. -
Argos Reflector.
The above gives faint conception of
what some people actually know about
telephone service. What in the world
do the people of Rochester want? Don't
they want to be connected by phone ser
vice with such villages as Chicago =:
Well, if they do, they should hook on
to the Plymouth service; for we are
reaching out toward the city of Chi
cagO, and if telephone service ever
comes out of the city eastward it
will make Plymouth one of its objective
points.

A Narrow Escape.

On Tuesday forenoon about l0
O'Clock, while Mrs. Charles Neal was
cooking on her gasoline stove the blaze
was blown out by gust of wind. Mrs
Neal was in another part of the house
at the time, but Sam CoWan who was
fixing a door in the back part Of the
house smelled the odOr of escaping gas
oline, and going to the stove turned of
the burner and called Mrs. Neal She
wiped the gasoline from the top
Of the stove and re-lighted it, not
noticing that the gasoline had leaked
all over the bottom Of the stove. \
flame Immediately shot up as high as
the ceiling and the stove was soon all
ablaze and the room filled with smoke
and fire. Mr.. Cowan rushed to the
stove, threw it out doors and called for
something 10 smother the fire. \ car
pet was found and he soon had the fire
out, but not until hs had been burned
severely about the face and hands, his
clothing also taking fire three or four
times. The walls and woodwork of the
room were badly scourched.- Walker

give us important information regard
ing affairs that might seem insignili-

would be of great interest, would confer
a favor on the publishers by SO doing.
We hope our readers Willassist us along
this line, and helpmake the lNDEPEND-

not know what you know unless you
let us know don't you know. We fought

God knows we can't under the circum-

you would like to have reported. write
it up-you can write or tell Us the
facts, and we will do your thinking in
that direction for you. Just SO with the

Wild Lettuce.

''The people of Delaware county are
taking vigorous measures to destroy the
wild lettuce plant, and the commission
ers have issued an order compelling its
destruction wherever found. 1t is con
sidered one of the most troublesome
weeds that farmers have to contend
with. Monticello Democrat.
The INDEPENDENT several weeks ago
called the attention of its readers to
this dangerous plant, giving informa-
ton of its rapid spread, and of its loca-
ton on number of farms in our i'm
mediate vicinity. Since that time, and
no later than last week, we were in
formed that this same dangerous plant
was to be found in numerous places in
side the city limits of Plymouth. We
desire to call the attention of the citi-
zens, not only of Plymouth, but the
surrounding country to this plant,
which in some respects is great deal
harder to eradicate than the Canada
thistle. Farmers especially should give
this pest close attention.

A Question OF Collection.

The rhetoric of the Utah constitu-

instance, one of the delegates got this
OH the other day: There is an insur-
ance company doing business here that
has building that cost more than
SS,OOO,OOO, and has that much more IN
assets. And there was a man in this
town who paid that company over
$4,000, who had been dead for more
than two years. and that man isn't
able to collect tie insurance" Then a
delegate, evidently an Episcopalian.

Certainly not; how could dead man
collect anything. unless it was the col
lect for the dead?'

Mary Had "A Little Ram.

Mollie had a little ram. fleece as
black as rubber shoe, and everywhere
Mollie went he emigrated too. He went
N her to church one day-the folks
hf"r ious grew, to see him walk de-
mehu into Deacon Aliens pew. The
deacoI ne akly let his angry passion
rise and gave it an unchristian kick
between the sad brown eyes. This
landed rammy in the aisle. the deacon
followed fast, on aised his foot
again, but oh, his first kick was his
last. For Mr.. Sheep walked back about
rod, it's said. and ere the deacon
could retreat it landed him on his head.
The congregation arose ard went for
that ere sheep, but several well-direct-
ed butts just piled them in a heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door, with curses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindmost man and
shot him through the crowd.

The Lair.

According to the census OF iN.1, Man :
shall county had at that time a popula-
ton OF 23.So6. In round numbers we
may say that Marshall county has p
eco inhabitants. Plymouth, the county
seat. is within -FOUR or five miles OF its
geographical center. with excellent rail
way facilities by which 1t can be reached
from all parts of the county. Ii, there
fore. has every natural advantage for
the location e. one iirSt-ciass county
fair. which. ii all the advantages in its
favor are utilized, can be made highly
creditable To the whole people of Mar
shall county.
The present fair grounds a this point
are beautifully situated. Water and
shade are plentiful. The race track,
with some Improvements. can be made
second to no one-half mile track IN this
section. The nam exhibition building,
the grand and band stands and the new
barn. with sixteen boXStals each twelve
feet square, are in every way creditable
structures.
But, with four fairs in the county, It
is not expected that amy one can ever
realize the success which would be
certain il the interests OF the various
fair associations OF thecounty were con
solidated and centralized. Insuch con
soiidation there is an opportunity before
us the people of tins county to or
game and maintain an annual county
fair which Will be second to none in the
state.
As it is now exhibitors. 10 lie in any
way assured of having their goods eX-
hibited TO the people OF all sections of
the county, must make entries at four
places 10 tourdiiferent fair associations,
and must arrange four separate displays
at different times. 70 them it is a great
deal of trouble and many desirable eX-
hibitors are barred from one or moro.
and some from all the fairs now being
conducted in this county. The result
is that none OF the present fairs can
give as much satisfactionto the people
or render as much service to the county
as might be done if all We're consoli-
dated in one grand exhibition of the
countys industries, products and re-
sources at the county seat, which would
be literally enhanced in value and en-
bellished, by products of mechanical in
dustries and the arts by eXhibitors from
a distance.

TIiiDy in The Circus.

CHARMING little Trilby, the pretty
heroine of Du Maurier's. that has set
half the world longing To know her as
she was pictured by the novelist, is now
To be seen in the circus. Barnum x
Bailey, with the up to-daie ideas of the
only progressive sh0wmen IN the
country. have reproduced the exquisite
little lady and placed her on horseback.
making one OF the most chic and de
lightful equestrian acts ever conceived.
Concurrently with this are two more
novel, chaSte and elegant riding acts,
which are nothing less than the famous
Skirt dance and well known Serpentlne
dance, all three of which equestrian
acts are given at once And there are
other acts equally as wonderful which
arc performed by other ladies and gen
tlemen riders: in fact twelve champion
riders appear at various times during
the exhibition. all of whom do novel
and daring feats. The grand Water
carnival is still another great feature,
and contains all kinds of aquatic eXhi-
bitiOn, for which purpose one OF the
four rings Is filed with water to
depth of five feet. \ thrilling and per-
ilous head foremost dive is made from
the roof of the canvas into this pool or
lake, and the wonder is great at each per
Torrance that the daring diver is not in
stantIy killed. Exhibitions of champion
lOgrOlling, fancy swimming, several sub
aqueous acts and many comic cpl
sodes are engaged in. upon and under
the water, So that the aquatic entertain
ment is one of a grand character
Twentyfour elephants are i'll the me-
nagerie, with fifty cages OF wild beasts
and the giantess gorilla, Johanna. The
chronological congress of strange and

of nearly every kind of human beng
