On the 18th of December the court
house of Fulton county, ILL.,, was des-
trOyed by fire. Shortly afterwards a
man by the name of Henry, while in
toxicated, claimed that he was offered a
sum of money to burn the court house.
The Canton people, who were DESTROYS
of securing the court house employed
detectives and in a stealthy manner
gained possession of several of the
prominent citizens of Lewiston, took
them to Chicago, and by undue and in
timidating influences secured con-
fesSiOn from them.
The trial of these men has been in
progress before Judge Orr, at Lewiston,
for several days past, and owing to a
decision rendered by the Judge yester-
day, the prisoners held for arson were
discharged.
Judge Orr, in his decision said, the
evidence secured from the defendants
while under restraint and through
threats was not admissible, and thus
the prosecution was compelled to aban-
don the case.
The case has been watched closely by
the entire country, and it is of utmost
importance 1t will have a tendency to
check this lawless way of securing evil
dence by force, and the Judge is to be
congratulated that he rendered a de
cision that will put to rest these bull
doing tactics used by SO many of the
detective agencies.

Tobacco Snokin.

Is the heading of communication in
last weeks MdrmOnt Herald, over the
signature of a citizen Such a crank
should sign his full name, SO as to show
to the world at large a man with about
as small conception of American lib
erty as graceS the earth.
While we are perfectly willing to
admit that using tobacco is a filthy
habit, yet for man who claims to have
a sufficient amount of that necessary
article known as common sense TO get
in out out Of the wet when it rains, dis
plays lack of judiciOus use of it, when
he berateS every one who uses tobacco.
He even goes SO far as to say they are
not decent 1t is time he inhabited one
of the caves to which he would consign
tobacco users. If the contamination of
the atmosphere at MarmOnt is so great
that it has a bad effect en- his lOrdship,
he might remove to Chicago, where
they are trying to abate the smoke
nuisance.

AS announced last week. Sunday was
given up to the contemplation of the
Feasibility of organizing a \. NJ c. \.
in our city at several of our churches
At the NJ. +. church the morning ser
vices were utilized 10y Mr. f. +. stacy,
The state secretary OF Indiana for the
\. VI. c. ~, and the manner III which
he presented his subject to those pres
ent, gave conclusive evidence that his
heart was in the work, and that he
thoroughly understood the necessary
action that was needed To insure sue
ceSStul association in Plymouth. His
words OF encouragement were appre
ciated by members of the band.
At the [. b. church Mr. J. W. Burns,
railroad secretary of TT. Wayne in the
I.MC.A work, convinced the members
Of their duty in helping along this
work.
Atthe Reformed church Mr. M. Cook,
secretary of the Logansport association,
interested the people with an eloquent
address along this line of work.
In the afternoon at 800 Il large gath
ering of young men at the Pray Meet
ing in the NJ. +. church was the result
OF the morning work. An earnest eff
fort was put forth by those present TO
arrive at some definite conclusion re-
gardlng the forming of an association
here. y large number were anxious To
proceed at once, but Secretary Stacey.
when called upon to give an outline of
the work and the probable cost, was
very conservative in his remarks, show
ing the difficulties that would be met
and the obstacles To be surmOunted.
This was a meeting that Tired every
body present, and filled them Hith d
desire to see this work pushed rapidly
to the front. In the evening union ser
vices were held at the VI. +. church. and
the large, commodious auditorium was
comfortably filled. Addresses were
made by each Of the representatives
present on the work of the Y VI. {. A.,
in their immediate localities and the
entire country, and was good thoughts
for our people to ponder over. One
point was made especially clear, and
that was that the citizens of our city to
large degree were in an indirect way
responsible for the surrounding intlu-
ences of the young men of our town,
and that it was their duty TO provide
suitably equipped quarters where they
could prOtitably spend their evenings.
The Band here will push this matter
to finish, and it is the duty of every
business man and citizen In this city
who desires to see great good accom-
pliShed to give this proposed organiza-
ton not only words of encouragement,
but financial assistance.

Will the Needed Assistance be Given.


1t has been several months since,
through the efforts of a few Christian
young men branch of the Young
Mems Christian Association, however
as prayer band, has been formed in
Plym Outh while a large number of the
Christian people in our city know very
little about this band, only as the an
nouncement have appeared from time
to time III the papers. Yet the time
has come when they are responsible in
their future actions IN rendering the
needed assistance to this good work
This band has met week after week,
making heroic struggle to not only
gain information and help for them
selves, bnt they have reached out to
bring III the young men, who have no
special place to pass away Sunday
afternoon, and given them a pleasant
hour interspersed with songs and sub
Jects discussed Of an important nature.
The time has come when they need the
encouragement of every Christian man
and woman in Plymouth, and the as
SiStance of every citizen Of our beauti-
full city. This little band desire to
enjoy suite of rooms, to fix them up
in manner that will not only be at
tractive, but which will be an ornament
to our rapidly growing city.
Ho
fully equip reading room, not with
few kapers only, but with all the latest
periodicals, books of every nature that
will enlighten the mind, and everything
in connection with this room that Will
have tendency to bring the young men
of our city inside of its pleasant portals
every evening. They also propose to
have both rooms and all the equip
ments pertaining thereto that will be
essential 81 cleanliness and neatness

will also be in connection with the bath
rooms, SO that physical culture can be
properly attend to.
Now it will devOlve upon our bust
ness men to help along this worthy
cause. In other cities like Plymo nth,

veloped and every evening hundreds of |
young men can be seen enjoying these
privileges. Ponder over these things |
and be prepared to render needed |
assistance.

ALTHOUGH Judge Hurt has rendered
an opinion favorable to prize fighting
in Texas Comptroller Finley does not
acquiece and has refused to grant Ii
censes for the so-called sport. 1t is
now in order either for Judge Hurt to
ask for restraining order against the
refusal by the comptroller to issue Ii
censes and so uphold his opinion, or for
the comptroller to cause an injunction
to issue against all who threaten to ap-
ply for licenses, or both. Injunctions
and restraining orders are strictly in
the mode and these gentlemen should
not lose this opportunity to uphold the
name of the state of Texas by keeping
abreast of the most approved judicial

the rounds regarding the incarceration
of Mrs. MaybricL, an American, in an
English prison. 1t now develOpes,
when the probabilities are that her inno-
cence will be established and she will
no doubt be set free, that the belief in
her innocence is announced by hun
dreds of publications throughout the
United States, who heretofore have held
their peace. The facts are prominent
that appeals have been sent to America,
especially to the societies that are
thought to be in existence to assist and
defend those who have been wrongfully
dealt with, but painful silence has
ensued. Now, after years of earnest
labor, by a few faithful friends, Mrs.
Maybrick will in all probability receive
justice. The whole American CONT
nent is becoming interested.

The following is taken from the
Pittsburg. penn Times, and Will no
doubt be of considerable interest to d
large number of our citizens and prom
inent farmers:
The biggest preserve, pickle and con-
diment factory in the world is that of
the II. }. Heinz company, which started
in Sharpsburg with a basket Of horse
rddish. Now it consumes the product
of 1000 acres of ground in this country,
besides importing constantly an inn
mense amount OF stuff. At the present
time nine ears of caulifower stand on
the tracks waiting to be UnlOaded They
have come from abroad, and reached
Pittsburg in bond. The features Of the
concern that are most apparent III this
immediate vicinity are the big works in
Allegheny City, and the gardens and
kraut factory on the Allegheny river at
AspinWall. Branch establishments for
raising cucumbers, and other vegetables
are located in several CT the other
states of the UnIon together with salt
ing houses and facilities for caring for
the product. The company itself cul-
tivates about LOCO acres. The remain
der of the 5000 is cultivated for the big
establishment by the farmers who are
supplied seed raised by the ii. j. Heinz
company in order that it may be pure.
Branch factories are in operation on
Long Island, in Indiana and Iowa.
Sailing houses are established near the
farms operated in different sections of
the United States, SO that when cucum-
bers or other vegetables are brought in
they may at once be put III the salt and
properly cared for. salt watts are used
that hold 1000 bushels at time. After
sailing, the raw material is shipped i'll
special ears owned by the company to
Pittsburg, to be prepared and packed
for the market. TO DO the sailing at
the various stations and in Pittsburg
requires about 200 cars Of salt a year.
The goods shipped from the main fac
tory ill over 1900 cars annually.
The chief product of the company is
pickles. but they are also the largest
vinegar makers III the world. Just now
the cider mills are crushing 5000 bush
els of apples day to make into vinegar
to be used by the company i'll its differ
ent products. The company is the
largest producer of tomato catsup and
chill sauce, of sauer kraut and Of horse
radish. Horse radish is sold by the car
load. They make of this ten times as
much as any other concern. They buy
mustard seed by the car and put out
their calendars by the ear load
To carry on business the III. j. Heinz
company operates glass factory at
Sharpsburg, where about 90 persons are
busy making bottles for the use of the
concern. This factory does not begin
to make enough. y printing office, a
box factory, "a cooper shop, a machine
shop, wagon shop and a lot of other
shops are necessary to provide for the
daily needs of the big factory. In sea-
SOC when everything is running at its
