Teachers Association.

The Northern Indiana Teachers In
Stitute held its session in South Bend
the latter part of last week Teachers
began pouring into that city Wednes-
day, and by Thursday there was quite
number of teachers assembled.
Thursday was spent in visiting the
South Bend schools, and in the evening

The Handel OratOriO rendered "The
Bohemian Girl" it being fully appreci-
ated.
Miscellaneous business was next

ton in the association of villages and
country schools was accomplished.
Friday was spent in discussions on
papers Of the various teachers. Among
the papers discussed was one presented
by Prof. Jacob Martin, of our city, on
individual Teaching in the Grades. .
1t is said to have been very good.
In the evening there was lecture on
"COlOr in Nature and in Ornaments" by
Prof. Bailey, State Supervisor, of Draw
ing, Mass. 1t was well illustrated and
those near the platform and the IL
lustrations, considered the lecture an
excellent one.
After the lecture the teachers retired
to the high school building, where a
reception was rendered them. Music
was furnished by the Elbel's orchestra

scholars of the South Bend school was

Two New Additions.

That the present capacity of two of
PlymOuth'S factories is not adequate to
the demands made upon them, is mani
tested by the announcement of their in
tentions to enlarge their plants. While
the officials of the companies are not yet
in position to give out any definite in
formation regarding the additions, yet
it may be of interest to the people of
Plymouth to know that such improve
mentS are to be made.
The Novelty Company contemplate
an addition that will be as large as
their present factory. They will
fit up the second story
of the Office building to accommo-
date an increased force of clerks. The
work on the addition will probably be
done during the summer. They are now
getting out over 1900 rims day and all
their consumers are crying that the sup
ply is not equal to the demand, hence
the necessity of more room.
A similar condition of affairs exists at
the Bicycle Company's factory. They
are unable to meet the demand for the
| fine wheels they are turning out and be-

The Balloon Ascension.

Yesterday afternoon looked a little
like a young circus day. The attrac-
tion to Plymouth was the advertised
balloon ascension. While great eXpec-
tations were in the minds of our mer-
chants, trade throughout the different
mercantile establishments was very
little increased. The goats made their
unique soar at 4:45 and it was well
worth the patient waiting of the crowd.
Shortly after the descent the aeronauts
trotted down the street none the worse
for wear.

The Mode Of Baptism.

Ii appears that the Marmont Herald
is having quite controversy over the
mode of baptism. whether II is Sprink-
ling, pouring or immersion. It has
always seemed 70 Us that there is a
great deal of useless controversy going
on in regard to this matter We do not
claim TO be propomder of the scrip
lures, or a theologist, or able TO tell
whether the Saviour was immersed. or
sprinkled with an olive branch. or the
water Of the river Jordan elevated in
some earthen vessel and poured over
his sacred person. But we will inform
those who are so deeply interested in
this waste Of words what we have
learned in our perusal of the scripture.
The principal quotation we wish to
call their attention TO is the 81 chapter
of Matthew, and the 10th verse: And
Jesus, when he was baptised went up
straightway out of the water"
Now if we are to believe this passage
of scripture, We must believe that
Jesus Christ went down into the water.
whether he went down into the water
to be sprinkled or To be poured upon, or
to be immersed, plunged under, or put
out of sight is entirely foreign to the
subject, in our estimation. These hair
splitting technicalities upon baptism is
useless.
If person desires to fulfill the law
as laid down, and fear they may not be
following the instructions given by the
Master, the Ebest way to ease their
conscience is to follow as near as posi-
ble the precepts taught by Him 10y inn
tating his EXAMPLE. They should 60
down INTO the water, and then choose
the baptism they belive To be used 10y
Jesus Christ.
Some historians tell us, those in par
ticular who uphold sprinkling, that the
banks of the river Jordan are some dis
tance removed from the river, and that
Jesus when baptised by John only went
as far as the waters edge, and that he
was there baptized. These are mere
subterfuges to convey favorable i'm
preston of their side of the question.
We believe the scriptures should be
taken for just what they say We are
of the impression that at the last reck-
oning up, a mans belief in regard to
the mode of baptism will cut very little
figure.

A New Elevator.

With all the Improvements to be made
in Plymouth this spring it appears that
our city is on the eve of an era of pros
perity the like of which it has not known
for many years. One of these improve
mentS, the details of which have not
been formulated, is the erection of a
large elevator along the l.. f. Il W.
tracks. The elevator is going to be built,
says Mr.. Peter Disher, who is engineer
ing the deal, and at present the only
matter in doubt is the location. On
Tuesday last Mr.. NJ. b. DennisOn, train
master of the road, was here in consul
tatiOn with Mr. DiSher and the location
of site is about completed. The new
elevator will be equipped with steam
power and have capacity of over TO-
600 bushels. The road will put in an in
dependent side-track to the elevator,

their grain to sell in wagons.
Mr.. DiSher intends to build commod-
ious structure and will conduct his flour
mill and elevator in one building, en-
ploying steam as power for the entire
concern. At present the time of con
struction is not settled, but Mr.. Disher
says he will begin operations as soon as
few minor points are settled.

Obituary.

Mrs. Jennie Z. Green Borton was
born in Mifflin county, Pa, Dec. 8, 1897
In 1857 she removed, with her fathers

Ohio, where on Oct. 2Sth of the follow
ing year she was married to DIR. T. A,
Borton. Three days later they arrived

been ever since. On Thursday morn
ing, Apr. II, 1895, after lingering and
painful illness, Mrs. Borton entered into

A New Subdivision.

A new subdivision to the hustling city
of Plymouth will soon be opened up by
Mr.. J. w. Maxey. The land occupies
the space west of Sixth and south of
Sycamore streets and will be divided
into % of as fine city lots as are-to be
found if Plymouth. AS the land is un-
usually well drained and in every man
ner desirable for building purposes, il is
predicted that it will be no drug on the
market. This is especially true when
the dearth of houses in Plymouth this
season is considered. Mr.. MaXey pro-
poses to erect several dwellings himself
on the property and place them on the
market at very low figures.

But Made No Case.

On Wednesday afternoon there was a
commotion at the place of Lena Foley,
down On the flats. \ tip was given that
two men had gone in there and Squire
Corbin got out warrants for them and
SWOre in Levi Brown as special deputy
to serve them. lie visited the joint and
told the FOleys, mother, daughter and
the two men they were under arrest.
One of the men broke open a door with
a blow of his fist and got outside the
house. The other was not so lucky, as
Brown got a good hold on him. Seeing
the predicament of his friend, the first
one returned and succeeded in reScuing
the prisoner by force. The second man
was a commercial traveller and made a
hustle to get out of town, being driven
TO Rochester by local liveryman. The
other one was arrested, but no case was
made against him. The FoleyS said the
stranger was a piano agent and was
there trying to buy her piano; that the
other man only showed him the way to
their house an / waited while he talked
business and that nothing improper oc-

Earlier in the week the joint was

men were given fines amounting to

That Daily.

One week ago the INDEPENDENT an
nounced that upon the 18th of the
month a daily paper would be launched
from this office. When this announce
ment was made, the editor believed,
with what little conversation he had
held with the business men of our city,
that although not a money maker. it
would be movement in the right direc-
ton.
But since ourannOuncement, and after
a thorough canvass, we have been con
vinced that, at the present time at least,
it would not prove satisfactory. There
are several important reasons that have
presented themselves, the one of most
importance being, the scarcity of money
following the late stagnation of busi-
ness, and the slOwness of spring trade.
But we wish to state that We have not
thrown the project into the waste bas-
ket, but will, whenever we believe it
feasible, launch a daily paper in Ply
mouth.

matters, we will be eequally glad to make
them known to the people of Plymouth.
