Julia Jockey Entertains.

Friday afternoon little Miss Julia
Yockey entertained fifty-three of her
friends and schoolmates at the resi-
dence of her father, j. A. Yockey, on
Walnut street. The ages of the guests
ranged from eight to fifteen years.
More fun was had that afternoon than
in all the rest of the three months of
vacation. They played "Ring Around
the Rosy" until they were tired and ate
ice cream and cake and lots of other
good things. They ran and romped
and yelled-in short, they just forgot
every thing but the fun they were hav-
ing until time to leave. Besides those
of Plymouth, Lora Chase, Mamie jar
rell and May Place, of Tyner, and
Pearlie Neville, of Teegarden, were
there.

AFTER A HORSE THIEF.
Marshal Myers Last Official Work Evolves
Difficult Task.

Marshal Myers Last Official Work Evolves
aDimouIt Task
Saturday afternoon Marshall Myers
got a broken telephone message from
LoganSpOrt describing and giving the
name of horse jockey who had stolen
mare from one Mr. Stephen Morgan
near the above named city. Briefly
Mr.. Myers obtained information that
Frank Donohue was the mans name
and that he had his wife and horses,
besides the stolen one along. Hardly
had he descended from the Ross house,
where he received the message, before
he caught sight of the thief in the dis
lance. Marshal Meyers knew the man
as one who had sold goods on the
streets of Plymouth on several occa.
sions. He confronted Mr.. Morgan just
as be was driving over the crosswalk in
front of Kloepfer's store. The latter
did not wait for the officer to recognize
him, but Immediately expressed his de-
light at his presence by saying: "Don't
you recognize me? My name is Dono-
hue" EYES," replied Mr.. Myers, 81
know you well. You are Frank Dono.
hue and l want you to drive me down
to the Ross house. Frank seemed
perfectly willing, and the two were
soon at the place named. When Mar
shall Myers dismounted he requested of
a bystander that he keep the man in
custody until word could be heard
from Logansport. The telephone
worked miserably and while the mar
shall was thoroughly engrossed the man
on the outside gave the by
stsnder the slip and then drove away.
Within twenty minutes two fast livery
horses were harnessed and hot per-
suit was instigated. 1t was, however, a
vain effort. After driving for six miles
or more over hot roads. Mr.. Myers de-
cided with wisdom, to give up the
chase and look after the mans other
two horses, which were, in all probs-
billty somewhere about Plymouth.
They with the woman who had been
mentioned in the message as his wife,
were found in the southeast part of the
city near Judge Hess property. Mr.
Myers here assumed the role of citi-
zen in search of two lost cows and OBJ
tanned convincing evidence as to her
identity. She was lodged in Jail for
future convenience as witness. One
of the two horses was the stolen ami
NAL. When questioned by the marshal
the woman told an almost unbelievable
story. According to her story she had
never seen DonOhue until last Thurs.
day night when she met him in
saloon at Logansport and agreed to &C
company him in his meanderings
through the country. She said she had
no suspicious that he was a horse thief.
This is the last official work of Mar
shall Myers. 1t was characterized by
the same anxiousness and ardour to
serve the public as he has exhibited
throughout He has been q faithful
servant

Teller's concurrent resolution de-
claring that United States bonds shall,
at the governments option, be paya-
BILE in silver dollars will have wide
ly different fate from the resolution
of twenty years ago which suggested
it. The resolution of this sort pre-
sented in thelSenate in 1878 by Stanley
Matthews passed that chamber by
vote of 43 to %, and went through the
House by a vote of 1S9 to 70. The sit
uation, however, was not the same as
it is now. At the time the Matthews
resolution was passed the Bland law
had not yet been enacted, there were
virtually no silver dollars in the coun-
try. and consequently. there was no
silver menace. The amount of silver
which is in the dollar was at that time
worth 92c in gold. Therefore many
republicans in the Republican Senate
and in the Democratic Housevoted
for the resolution. No republican IN
either chamber will vote for it now.
There is a chance that it will pass the
present silverite Senate, but if it ever
comes to a vote in the House it will be
defeated by an overwhelming majorl-
ty.-Globe Democrat.

The Navy Department has at last
succeeded in obtaining smokeless
powder for the use of its great guns
which will not deteriorate with age or
lose any of it's efficacy by reason of
climatic change. The new powder is
a special variety of nitro cellulose,
and it's issue has just been ordered to
ships of war of the United States.
Contracts just signed with the Du-
points, of Wilmington and the Cali
fornia Powder Works, on the Pacific
slope, call for the manufacture, with
out deiay,of 10000 pounds of the new
explosives. The formula for preparing
the new powder has been furnished to
the manufacturers by the Navy De-
partment. While all the principle
nayies of the world have been secur
ing smokeless powder, the United
States has, until now, contented it
self with a brown, prismatic powder.
Gunners soon found out at target
practice that, let alone having to wait
for action, the fire of a nearby gun
JQIONS Ol 81 0OAOO a CLiAOhO ohoI IL
seriously inteferes with aiming. The
great trouble has lain in obtaining
smokeless powder which would stand
the variations of temperature, and al
so the test of time. The majority of
smokeless powders have nitro gly-
cerine as a basis. In the event of
chemical action taking place as a re-
suit gof time, it might happen that
some form of smokeless powder would
develop into dangerous explosive.
The guns of the navy under the regu-
lations in force must not be subjected
to pressure of over fifteen tons in
square inch. The idea in developing
a new powder is to secure a type
which will impart high velocity to
projection on low pressure.

THE DELAYIN THE EXECUTION OF
DURRANT.

It is a disgrace to the state of Califor
MIA that such fiend as Theodore Dur
rant, who was executed short time
ago for the m urder of two young la
dies in April, 1895, should succeed in
beating off justice for SO long time.
At his trial, which commenced in July
after the murder and lasted till No
vember, he was given every chance
to account for his actions at that time;
some of the most skillful criminal law
yers in the state were engaged in his
behalf and every charge brought
against him was fought to the last, but
to no avail. The evidence against him
was too strong and when finally the
case went to the jury they were out
but twenty minutes and returned with
verdict of guilty, and he was sem
fenced to be hanged in Febr ary of
1896. Durrant's lawyers then COM
menced fight to delay the sentence
of the court; everything which they
could do was done to save the life of
the man. After finding that they
co Id do nothing in the courts of Cal
ifornia the governor of the state was
appealed to but he refused to intefere,
and as a last resort the Supreme Court
of the United States was appealed to,
but there they failed and finally two
years and nine months after the mur-
der was committed Durrant paid the
penalty for his crimes. 1t does not
seem right that a man after commit
ting such fiendish crime as that of
Durrant, and having been proven gull
ty beyond doubt, should be able to
delay the execution of his sentence
for two years. Had the case been one
in which there had been much doubt
in the minds of the jurymen, and they
had deliberated long over it, there
would have been more reason for the
delay, but there appeared to be no
doubt as to his guilt in the minds of
the men who composed the jury.
A man should not be adjudged gull
ty until he is proven SO, but when his
guilt is established beyond doubt the
sentence should be carried out within
a reasonable time instead of the man
being allowed to get off on some point |
which, if proven would not alter the |
case in any way.

The affairs in China have changed
somewhat lately. At first Russia ap-
peared to be having everything her
own way and China was turning to
her for counsel in all cases while Eng
land appeared to have but little to
say about things; but now the tables
are partly turned and China is likely
TO negotiate loan of twenty million
| pounds sterling of England. If China
can give sufficient security the loan
will be made and England is insisting
| that if she loans the money she shall
have something to say in regard to
the political policy to be followed out
by China. For one thing she insists
that Ii Hung Chang, who was deposed
from office some time ago, shall be
restored. This veteran statesman of
China is, perhaps, the most advanced
in his ideas of any statesman of the
empire, and were he given his own
way would do much to bring China on
level with the other nations. Eng
land claims that she does not want
any Chinese territory but that she is
anxious to have the ports of China
thrown open to the trade Of other ma
tions. For a time it looked as if
there might be trouble among the
nations of Europe over their land
grabbing scheme but now it appear
that the matter will be settled AMIGA
bly,. If they will all remember that
China has certain rights which should
not be trampled upon there will be no
more trouble.
The remarkable contest between re-
publicans in Ohio has resulted in the
election of Marcus A. Hanna for both
a short and long term in the Senate
of the United States. For some rea-
son a small percentage of republicans
have become hostile to Mr.. Hanna
and tried by fair and foul means
to compass his defeat. The legisla-
ture was close, the republicans having
less than ten majority in joint ballot,
the democrats hoping to make future
capital out of factional fight Joined
with the disgruntled enemies of Mr..
Hanna and were ready to vote for any
body to beat Hanna. A silver repub-
ican was selected and the almost
united furces of democracy and ugly
republicans voted for him. Hanna
