Not long ago a South Bend cigar

heard of no complaints from any source.

Last fall there was lots of oil talk in
Plymouth, and several meetings were
held by business men for the purpose
of organizing a stock company, but
nothing was ever accomplished. Some
of those interested wanted to wait I'M
til spring before beginning operations
Well spring is here and so are the men.
The soldiers in Camp Mount are hot
Many of them threaten to leave and
some have already skipped out. They
don't like to be governed by regular
army officer. The chances are that
when they line up for the final eXami-
nation the Bird Regiment will be short a
few hundred men. The boys can't
monkey with a regular army officer.
Under orders from the postmaster
general all letters and packages mailed
in the United States and addressed 10
persons in Spain are TO be sent to
the dead letter office in Washington
Some letters thus forwarded have been
found of sufficient Importance to Justify

eminent detectives. 1t is said this has
not been done since the war of 1912, al
though during the civil war letters were
intercepted by order of the treasury or
justice departments when 1t was sus-
pected that they contained official in
formation.
Messrs Kuhn and Morris, the newly
elected councilmen are careful business
men In whom the people of Plymouth

the control of the city patronage re

1t now remains to be seen as to how

as strong in the hearts of the people
after term of service than they are be-
fore they have been tried. WIZ the
newly elected men break the record?
Not all clergymen are credited with
being as frank as one who stands in the
pulpit of one of the principal churches
of Marquette, Mich. A week or two
ago he was travelling on train in COM
pany with local lawyer. The attorney,
who is troubled with insomnia, was
complaining that he hadn't been able
to get any sleep the night before. "In
fact" said he. 81 can't get an hours
good, comfortable sleep at any time"
lis that so ?" said the clergyman, leaning
over and speaking confidentially. "If
an hour will do any good, come around
next Sunday morning and hear me
preach"
