Our birthday.

On the 18th day of March, 1884, just
62 years ago, according to history, the
first building was erected in the now
magnificent Queen City of Indiana.
The one to erect this building was
Judge Grove Pomeroy, father of Mrs
a. l.. Elliot of this city. The building
was log cabin and was situated on
the spot where the Phenix cigar store
now stands.
Who of our citizens looks back
over the by-gone years and in his
minds eye sees the dense forest that
encircled the primitive cabin, but will
marvel at the wonderful advancement
of our city? And still the march OF
progress is only fairly begun, and as
each year adds gem to the history of
its past, its future greatness promises
better.

THE PLYMOUTH RIM.
One Of the Industries that Has Grown
up in Our CITY.

One of the Industries that Has Grown
up in Our City.
One of the important industries in
our city has been spoken frequently of
by THE INDEPENDENT, and yet III the
estimation of intelligent and patriotic
citizens the story never grows old.
Wednesday we were favored
with statistics regarding the steady
growth of this industry, but unfcrtu-
nately were compelled to omit the inn
portant matter until today.
In the month of March, one days
work of lOl5 hours labor produced the
enormous outfit of $500 rims. While
this was without doubt the largest
number produced i'll one day, in any
factory of like character, yet we are in
formed they can turn out at this factory
1000 rims every working day.
While at this time they are not turn
ing out the full capacity, yet it can be
readily seen that this number could be
reached if necessary. \ portion Of
their lathes are unemployed owing to
the necessity to hold few in reserve
for an extra push of the work.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago THE INDEPENDENT spoke about
the company contemplating the max
ing of wooden handle-bars for BIZ
cycles. They now have this portion of
their work under systematical manage
ment, and by the time the spring trade
Is thoroughly opened, they will be pre-
pared to push this growing trade. Mud
rims and chain guards are also made
by this establishment.
Such industries help along city in
many and various ways, and our people
show their appreciation by pointing out
with pride TO visiting strangers, the In
diana Novelty Works.

Samuel France, one of Marshall coun-
tvs most prominent physicians is con-
fined to his bed with severe wound in
the forehead, received while trying TO
alight from a moving train at Valpsr-
also.
The doctor left here for that city on
the $40 accommodation Monday morn
ing, IN answer TO a summons from q
patient at that place. Upon arriving
at the station at Nalpo, be left the
train, but unthlnkingly he also left
his medicine case in the car. When
about four blocks from the station he
thought Of his case and asked the driver
he could return TO the depot before the
train started. The driver drove his
team in hurry back to the station, ar
irving just as the train was about TO
pull out. Mr.. France hurriedly asked
the conductor to hold the train a min
ute and he started after his case, but, II
seems, the conductor misunderstood
him, for as soon as the doctor was on
the train he signalled the engineer to
start.
The doctor had unfortunately board
eel the wrong car and vas delayed ia
finding his case, and when he did find
1t the train had gained considerable
speed. But he risked getting off, and
in doing so he was thrown some
twenty feet, striking his forehead
against an iron post, causing deep
cash which required twelve stitches
to close. The railroad surgeon of that
city had it in charge.
Mr.. France returned home that even
ing and has been connned to his bed
since, but is reported as improving.

Tom Lee, of this city, and Mr.. John
Listentelt, of near Inwood, are reported
as being engaged in organizing stock
company for the purpose of putting
down a gas well, which they feel sure
they can make gusher. They claim
knowledge of a spring near here which
never goes dry, and from which arise
strong fumes. They say that lighted
match held above the water will pro
duce a blush fire upon the surface,
which will remain there so long as the

that a well sunk at this place would
prove a sure winner, and if they can
not succeed in organizing stock com
pany, they intend TO put 1t down at

I'VE cannot keep up with the demand at

you something. Here is a request from
a democratic official of West Virginia ask

free silver documents. He says he can

the matter they can get to distribute
that there are five hundred men in the
same place with them. These men, they
say, are on the fence, and do not need
anything to get over on the democratic
side but some good arguments for silver.
These are three letters out of a hundred we
got this morning, and they show how
eager the people are for information.
There Is large increase in the demand
for literature from clubs. These organ
izations are being formed all over the
country. This letter from Illinois states
that many republicans are Joining the
Bryan clubs that have been organized in
that state. Clubs will become feature in
