The Association Meets.

Wednesday eighteen out of twenty
ricullural Fair Association, met at the
office of Attorney Stephens and trans r.
acted important business.
Harley Logan was appointed as di-
rector i'll the place Of Geo. Lemner
In considering the time for holding
the fair, it was decided to hold it on
Aug. %, %, - and y, one week later
than the Maxinkuckee fair.
At this meeting four hundred dollars
was voted to be used in placing the
race course in an excellent condition,
and Wm. O'keefe, DIR. Reynolds and
j. w. Thayer were appointed to take
charge of the fair grounds.
Owing to the early date, it was decid
ed that this association would utilize
all its energy for stock and racing
gathering, the date being SO early that
it would be impossible to get liberal
display of farm product. But with the
efforts of the association directed along
these two lines, 1t goes without say
ing that this association will give the
best and most satisfactory fair that has
been given in Marshall county for
years.
The racing will be an exceptionally
fine feature this year, and will eclipse
anything of the kind ever witnessed in
Marshall county. Bicycle races will be
another attractive feature of this years
fair.

\ Shopping Expedition.

Maud Muller" ought to have had
one of those be-ruifed sun bonnets that
Carpenter X BoswOrth now have their
window stacked with and she wOudn't t
have been tanned. iIer feet would
have been great deal prettier if they
had been encased i'll pair of their
elegant shoes, if we are judges in the
matter at all. She would have looked
sweet in a dress made of one of those
pretty light-blue percales. Let's see;
was she a blonde or brunette? Well,
she is tanned, so she had better get IA
pink one. Let us suppose she is going
to marry the judge, after all, and we
are going to buy her trousseau. Let's
begin at the bottom of the store and go
up. We are not hard to suit and it
doesn't take us long to make a selection
of some of the very nice muslin under
wear in the basement. We go upstairs
then and look around in their shoe de-
partment. Well, it takes us a long
time TO make a selection here They
have so many styles and we find each
pair prettier and newer than the other.
Finally we decide on pair of neeele-
t0ed tan shoes and pair of servceable
black ones and some lounging slippers
and pair of white kid slippers to go
with the wedding gown, which we Will
get from one of the lady clerks in
another part of the store. The wedding
will be in June, and as the bride is a
girl of excellent taste, it does not take
us long to make selection of some
of their pretty swisseS that are In and
are new very pretty. Well we have
bought the bridal dress and now we
must look around for some other
costumes. She must have a new silk
waist. Which shall it be, one of those
fancy plaids, or the new printed warp
tatfetaS or one of those handsome Per-
sian effects? Well we decide on the
first one and we straighway purchase
it. Well she ought to have q dress off
of one of these fancy spring suitings.
We decide that we will take some sam
pies and the Obliging clerk cuts them
off and we take them home to the bride
for her to make the selection.

w. W. Jones Lecture.

The lecture delivered by W. W. Jones
was one of the most logical and instruc.
tive ever given i'll our city. Everybody
ought to have heard it. lie not only
gave description of the dead empires,
as he saw them, but the cause of their
rise and fall, showing his hearers very
plainly that we, as a nation, are on the
very same road that caused the down
fall of Egypt, Rome. Greece, and
other nations of equal strength and
steps we, too shall be numbered with
the nations of the past. He showed
and gave proof that sin is at the bottom
of all debauch and crime, and that
every nation that engages in bOodhng
must sooner or later crumble and fall;
and that every nation that puts her
trust in God and recognizes his law and
the welfare of the general public is the
nation that will prosper and live. Yes,
" Blessed is the nation whose God is
the Lord"
Mr. Jones held his hearers spell bound
for nearly two hours and many were
heard to say that they were glad that
they were there to hear him. Surely all
lovers of truth with unbiased minds
could not help but say that Mr.. Jones
presented the subject fairly, and all
they need to do is to watch the future
to prove his statements correct.

THAT BURGLAR.
Full Army Corps Turned Out
to Discover Naughty Thieves
Still at Large.

Tuesday Mr.. Jerry Blain and his
estimable wife were in the midst of
the laborious duties of cleaning house.
That evening they concluded to finish a
well spent day by attending the services
at the Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Hubbard, who had been assist
ing them, left the house for home, as
she was leaving the yard she saw two
men it is said, and light in the cellar.
This was sufficient evidence of course.
She Immediately came down town and
gave the alarm, In short time officers.
Meyers, Lower, and Bennett accom-
panied by something short of half the
male population of the city started for
the house that was being robbed.
When they arrived on the scene, dark
ness and gloom was visible all around.
After securing the key, and proceeded
by trembling reporter of THE INDIE
PENDENT, they commenced a systema
ic search of the premises. On the out
side there was a brave man for every
picket ON the fence, and four for each
post. The first floor was thoroughly
searched, it is said that Lower went so
far in his work as tC crawl under every
bed
Not finding the house breakers on
this floor they went into the garret.
Here their search was in vain. Then
they thought of the cellar. Here was
where they were hid, in their minds.
When they arrived at the cellar door,
the nerve of TIE INDEPENDENT fellow
weakened, and it is said his voice trem-
bled when he asked Bennett for his re-
vOlver. But Bennett said "Nlt." There
is no one down there, said Bennett, and
he gazed down the stairway with bad
glitter in his eye. Meyers tried to push
the brave reporter down into the cellar,
but the young fellow majestically
moved him aside and started down
on his perilous journey, determined
that if some one had to surrender their
life, it would be the representative of
the press, which has heretofore given
up every thing for the benefit of hu-
manity-even its Doodle.
But why dwell upon this terribl G
scene? There was no one there, and
even the stoves which had fire in re-
Dained in their accustomed d places. OF
course THE INDEPENDENT has theory
but we are not in position TO give it up
without goodly sized pile of Is to [.

4 Particular Woman.

The indianapolis Sun tell of Upton
woman who is very particular and who
is In the habit of picking specks of dust
and lint from the coats of her neigh
bors. Last Sunday night she sat in
her usual place behind a young man
who is fond of joke. This young
man knew her ways, for his attention
had often been called to various blem-
ishes about his toilet by his female
neighbOr in the rear The sermon was
about half done. The particular
woman espied a raveling producing
from the young mans shirt collar She
fastened to 1T and drew out at least a
yard. The bldsh that covered her face
was as red as a wild strawberry In June
But she pulled again. Result another
yard of the thread and another blush
as luminous as an Italian sun set.
But she continued to pull, and the
amount of thread she pulled onto her
lap would have sewad all the petticoats
in Upton. She never reached the end
of it, and had to break it off. She evi-
IDENTIFY concluded that the young man
was playing trick on her. 1t was a
good one, Took.

Accused of Stealing Chickens.

Plymouth is not the only place that
they have trouble. Even the flourishine
little city of Lapaz meets with trouble
that sometimes calls in legal adjustmen
Today a widow from that hamlet by
the name of Catharlne Korp appeared
before Justice Reeve, and swore out a
warrant against one John Nichols, who,
this lady says, had attempted bodily
injury by choaking her. She also says
that this same man Nichols, did then
aud there without provOcation strike
her little daughter, blacking b 9th her
eyes. In regard to this trouble, she in
formed us that she had been accused of
stealing chickens, and she was willing
to swear that she had not cooked a
chicken in her home for more than a
year. 1t is expected to soon have the
offender of the law up before his honor
in a few days.

The great Fourth ward case has

The printers and quill drivers at Val
paraiso are out after an office. They
have realized what it is to work ten to
fourteen hours day, and take their
money when they can get it. Just as
soon as our friend Small of the Nidette
announced himself as candidate for
the office of representative, the
foreman of the Valparaiso Messenger
comes to the front and announces HIM
self as an aspirant for the same office,
and dependent upon the recognition of
the same convention. Now there's
pluck for you. 1t is considered haz-
zardOus undertaking for political
party to recognize even one printer as a
candidate, that is shrewd political
policy, you know; but when it comes to
two, there is surely something of ut
most Importance at stake. All we can
do is to wait for the result from Val
paraisO with bated breath.

A MESSAGE FOUND IN A BOTTLE

Miller, Ind, is small village located

tale from the waters of Lake Michigan
which may, or may not be of great inn
pOrtance. a letter from the postmas-
ter at that place gives the following
information:
y few days ago a fisherman while
olying his avocation, found a bottle float
ing upon the water. When he secured
this small vial, he discovered that it
contained a slip of paper.
He lmmediatly uncorked the bottle
and upon the paper was written IN
bold back hand these pathetic words:
"When you see my dear old mother
tell her am no more in this world.

living. So good by to all. | leave a
watch i'll the pawn shop on Clark street

JOHN DAVIS,
Plymouth, Ind.
The paper upon which this message
was written was taken from note
book and looks as though it had been
torn out after the writing had been done
While there might not be anything in
the missive, yet there may be some
foundation for the same.
We have as far as possible made dill
igent inquiry and have not yet found
any clue TO anyone OF the above name
being missed from this locality.
