The New SmalIey.

The latest Plymouth production in
the manufacturing line Is the "Smalley'
cigar, a production of the w. b. Yost <
Co. factory.
The new cigar is made from the
choicest of selected stock and is un-
doubtedly destined to become winner
in this section of Indiana. 1t was
placed in the local market yesterday
and Mr.. y ost is personally engaged to-
day in introducing the "Smalley" into
the Bourbon and Warsaw markets.
a very pretty hanging sign in nickle
and aluminium finish has been designed
for the Smalley. 1t will serve to attact
first attention to the cigar after which
it is supposed that the cigar itself will
be its own recommendation.

The Prospects of Securing The Shoe Fac

The prospects which looked so bright
a few days ago for securing new inn
petus in the line of manufacturing,
has proved fiZZle. When the commit
tee started out upon tour, the men
who are given credit as having money
were first visited The plan was to get
twelve men who would subscribe
Sl5:00, fully assured that if these men
could be found, the amount could be
raised. The result was just what has
been predicted not man could be
found i'll this city of nearly 1000 popu-
lation that would invest that amount of
money. The result was that the Busi-
ness Mems association were compelled
to notify the company in Chicago that
they could not raise the necessary
amount. We will speak at length up
on this matter at some future time.

The Warsaw Times in speaking of the
entertainment given by the STAIRS in
that city says the question is asked, "If
it is not the spirits, what is it," Then
again it says: at will have to be an

Now, that is one of the exact reason s
why we took the position we did re-
garding the STAIRS. We have no criti-
cism to make against the cabinet work
or the wonderful mind reading by Mrs.
Starr, but we do emphatically denOunce
the method they use when they adver
tise that after giving these exhibitions
for week, they will expose the busi-
ness, and then not do SO. OF course
the professor will show up trick or
two, and tell that he has several chang
es of clothing that he can use in max
ing these changes, but that does not in
the least remove from the minds of the
superstitious the awe that surrounds
the mysterious presentations. Let him

ises to do, and he will be dong the pub

The BallingtOn Booth Movement.

If the right side of a controversy is
always known by the side that keeps
It's temper, then the Ballington Booths,
husband and wife, are clearly entitled
to the sympathy and encouragement of
the American people. They have not
called their opponents liars, and they
have to degree greater than was to be
expected, kept their mouths shut.
The fact that without murmur or a
word BallingtOn Booth turned over to
the representatives of the British Saliva
ton army all the properly, amounting
to $1,000 600, that had been accumulat-
ed In this country and that stood in his
name, shows him to be just, generous
and wholly unmercenary. The money
of William L. Dodge and of those
wealthy American citizens who were
unknown to the rest of the world, mod
estly and quietly backing the Salvation
leaders will now be transferred to Bal
lington Booths new army.
The new army has the whole sympa
thy of the American people. We want
an American army, with leaders belong
ing to this country. At the monster
meeting in Cooper Union, New York
where the new movement was inaugu
rated, many of the corps who had de
serted the old organization signiIieG
their allegiance to the new one by wear
ing tiny American flags. 1t was we'll

bearing the American flag intertwined
with the white flag, signifying peace
and purity and patriotism?

the middle classes in this country

Nandalia Train Wrecked

The north bound Vandalia train due
at this place at 12:i0, was wrecked
about quarter of mile south of Hib-
bard yesterday afternoon. The rails had
warped SO much that the wheels were
wedged. throwing the ladies car com
pletely off the track and the others
partially off. They were running at a
high rate of speed when they struck the
defective rails, and it is said by those
who witnessed the wreck, that at one
time the whole train was off the track
but owing to the high speed it gained
the rails again.
The fireman was the only one that re-
cieved any injuries, although his were
SO slight he was able to work: he went
home on the south bound train to Lo-
ganspOrt.
One car was left in the ditch while
the rest of the train proceeded on its
way although about one hour and a
half late.

Weighing of Mail.

Once a year the mail matter shipped
through the United States is weighed
and thus regulates the amount to be
paid the railroad companies for carry
ing it the following year. We have
received from our Office here a few
pointers on mail matter. For instance,
No. left last Friday night with 400
pounds of mail matter on board; No. &,
the paper train, left the same station
with |, 800 lbs. The latter train trans
ferred here for the Vandalla line 3,l00
lbs. No. put off at TT. Wayne only
LOO pounds of Indiana mail and at
Upper Sandusky, Ohio, 1900 pounds.
No. going into Chicago Saturday
morning had aboard 25,000 pounds. No.
is the train of Byron Healey's crew.

\ Trying Position.

We are panied to note that some of
of our exchanges enter into red hot
controversy over the uncushioned con-
dition of some of our seats in the
churches. Some of them think it is an
imposition upon poor sinners to ask
them to sit on hard seats for an hour,
and hear the expounder of the gos-
pei tell them of their wicked ways. 1t
is truly marvellous how some editors
can growl about such little thing like
that, when it is known that they will
take free ticket, and go TO a circus
and squat on narrow plank with their
knees up under his chin, and never
murmur. They have also been known
to sit for an hour on a rail fence, talk
ing subscription to farmer.

in his poor broken English, to sell his
wares. He was set upon by some young
toughs, and besides being robbed of all
the money he had, was badly beaten
While the cause of all his trouble and
physical pain were released on bail, he
is kept in Jail as a witness to await the
trial. Such justice, as our laws mett
out at times is enough to thoroughly

Jumbo is the name of a dark red
steer owned by Fred III. Kuhn and
nearly five old, which died last Satur-
day night. Jumbo was Durham stock
and at the time of his death weighed
2.370 pounds, and was not very fat and
only in good flesh. Jumbo measured
from the ground to the top of his
shoulder q feet 8 inches, and was
without doubt the largest steer IN this
section of the country. He was of a
gentle disposition. 1t had been Mr.
kuhn's intention to fatten him and
he believes that he could have been
made to weigh from $500 to $500
pounds

A GREAT REVIVAL.
Arcola, Illinois. II City of 5000 lnhab-
itants Thoroughly stirred Up.

Arcoia, ILLINOIS,. city oil j,oOo Inhap-
itants Thoroughly stirred Up.
The old prairie state of Illinois when
it comes TO tough towns, can generally
give any other state nine in the game
and come out best when only ten points
are necessary. The town of Arcola, sit
uated On the Nandalia line, between
Terre Haute and Decatur, Ill.,, has for
some time tried to keep pace with Le-
mont, city of Cook county. Although
she has not succeeded in wearing the
penant she has earned the reputation of
keeping up very creditable appear
ance, so far as cussedness goes.
The preachers in that burg had met
upon several occasions, and talked the
matter over, and in fact were about
prepared to throw up their hands
and pronounce the devil winner, when
one of them bumped up against an idea.
'Let us get the Salvation army to tack
lie it. After little more talk over the
matter and calling in a few brothers,
they concluded to pool issues and hold
union services. The Salvation army be-
ing called upon and the matter laid be-
fore them gladly accepted the oppor-
tunity for if our readers are of an OBJ
serving turn of mind they are aware
of the fact, that these soulsavers, de-
sire to always get to work where his
satanic majesty has big job on
hand, and especially if he IS doing
lucrative business. So they went to
the SOdOm of Illinois.
When they commenced their work,
they found it an uphill business, find
ing, we are sorry to say, greater opposi
tion among the followers of Christ
But they went at the works of Satan
cornered the old fellow wherever they
could find him, which was considerably
more than once. Soon they had the en-
emy on the run, and when they left
there few days ago, the citizens were
making arrangements to erect two new
churches, and the saloon keepers are
talking of going out of business.
One incident is worth relating. Three
of the tough boys of the town were
inca"cerated in the "cooler" doing time
They heard that some of their former
associates were taking considerable
stock i'll the Salvation army. They
finally sent for the mayor. When ht
put in his appearance they almost
iloored him by saying they desired tC
attend the Salvation army meetings
He told them that if they were honest
in their request he would take them
They said they were. The mayor in
formed the army boys and had tou
seats reserved for himself and pris
Oners. The result was he took then
!. every night and all three of thos,
young fellows were soundly convert
ed.
This little story is true but homel,
circumstance, and all we desire to sa
in way of comment is: Give the Saliva
tion army chance and they will d.
more actual good than any other on
Christian organization. The churche
have work to do, but the Salvation
army completes work the churche
cannot reach.

OUR CITIZENS BEGIN TO RAISE A
HOWL.
The Need of Sufficient Water of More
Importance Than Political sufferage-
Something must be done.

Ever since last spring the necessity
for greater supply of water for general
use has been apparent. 1t has been po-
tent fact for long time that the wells
from which the city is supplied, are
wholly inadequate for the consumers
now using the service, let alone those
who are applying daily for service or
the needs in case of fire.
Last summer those who were using
| city water, when called upon, or notified
of this lack of water, patriotically relin-
quished the right of using what they
had paid for, SO that in case
of fire the protection would TO small
degree be ample TO meet the i'm
mergency.
| Now, the result is that, notwith-
standing the economical efforts of our
citizens last summer, we not only find
ourselves confronted with the same
trouble this spring, but much worse
condition, with also an ink ling of an in
creased water rent. The fact of the
matter is, that today our city water
works cannot supply the needs of its
patrons and the indications are that the
sprinkling of the business portion of
our city, if the supply depends upon
our water works as it is at the present
time, will have to be foregone.
For the past year this has surely been
known to our water works committee
and all efforts put forth to secure more
water have been along that line of "pen
ny wise and pound foolish" Our city
cannot secure adequate water for moth
ing. \ city with such an enormous
lake of excellent water underlying
her surface area needs only
a little work and expenditure of
money to tap an inexhaustible supply.
There is but little excuse for our coun-
ell and our position today.
1t has been but a few weeks since
our water works committee said there
was no use trying to do anything along
this line as the election was close at
hand, and if they did start any move
ment the next administration might
undo it all. 1t was not for them to
contemplate what the next council
would do, but to go to work and relieve
our city from the dire distress in which
1t is placed.
The mayor of our city is aware of
these existing dangers and will lend
his every effort to help meet this emer-
gency. OF course this will cost little
money. But there are towns not
as large as Plymouth, which have not
the blessings in the way of accessible
water, that have spent $4,000 TO secure
one well with a flow of water like that
, at the mill Goshen has spent thou
sands of dollars for the purpose of
securing sufficient supply of water
while here, in the midst of plenty of as
good water as the generous Giver of all
gifts ever bestowed upon men, We must
strive for the actual need of it because
it will cost a few dollars.
Let our council secure the service of
competent engineer like Geo. {. Nor
gan, of Chicago, that makes this matter
a speciality, and we will guarantee a
sufficient supply can be secured in a
short time.
