A BIT OF ADVICE.

Children dear. when you hear
Dropping rain upon the pane
Just be happy. never fear;
Sunshine always follows rain.
Children sweet. when your feet
Make the grown-up people fret
At the noise of girls and boys,
Tell them you'll be sober yet.
Children pray, when the day
Does not go quite right at school,
Think of this, that perfect bliss
Comes of minding every rule.

.. G. SOice's Name Forged.

Oliver g. Soice has just returned from
Mount Carroll, Illinois, where he went
to see if he could identify two men who
were forging his name to drafts.
On last Thursday, two men giving
their names as William Wilson and w.
j. Shannon, and claiming to be horse
buyers, csshed a draft for $3.50 at Ian
ark National bank. The check bore the
signature of w. l.. McElwell, cashier of
the Partridge Banking company of
Seneca Falls, New York. The cashier
of the Lanark bank suspicioned that all
was not right and telegram brought
back the answer that the draft was a
forgery. Meantime the men had left
Lsnark, but were traced to Freeport,
and their arrest followed in three hours
after passing the draft.
McElwell OF the New York bank is
now in Mount Carroll. He reports that
forged drafts on his bank have been re-
ported since last December from Ohio,

Foul Play Suspected.

Claude Kimler, father of the Valpa-
rsiso student, who committed suicide
last week, arrived Saturday at Valpa-
raiso for the purpose of caring for the
remains of his son. The father is un-
able to form any theory for the cause
of the deed and he is therefore inclined
to believe that the lad met with foul
play, though there is no positive evil
dence to support the theory. He is
supposed to have had $50 when he
reached Valparaiso two days before he
was found dead bat only 50 of this
was found on the person of the boy af
ter death. The father is inclined to
believe that the paris green box and
note found in the clothes of the young
man were placed there to uphold the
suicide theory. The parents are
wealthy and young Kimler had $4,000
to his own credit in bank in his home
town. His prospects in life were fine.

The business men who have taken
such an active interest in raising the
bonus which was necessary in order to
bring the Dunkard establishment here.
are deserving of much credit. Ii the
institution proves to be what it pur-
ports TO be, it will certainly be monu-
ment to these public spirited business
men. At any rate the bonus is not
sufficiently great that any man with
property interests in the city is taking
very great risk. The prospects are
favorable for due returns on the invest
ment to any contributor who has prop
erty or business interests.
The newspapers are the only institu-
tions that might suffer as the instltu-
tloD could compete in the local job
printing field should it desire. The
promoters, however, have been given to
understand that the institution will not
compete with any business concerns at
present located here.
If this is true, there certainly can be
no reason why the newspaper men
should not welcome the concern as well
as men in other business.

Thought the spoons FavOrs.

An Elkhart young lady who has a
highly priced collection of souvenier
spoons, gave dinner party to a lot of
her girl friends on Friday evening.
Her much beloved spoons were distri-
buted about the table one at each
guests plate.
After the dinner was over the host
ess wa horrilied at seeing number of
her guests calmly pocketing the silver
mementOes. Luckily for her, one of
her assembled friends quietly told the
spoon takers that they were not intend
ed as favors, and the innocent klepto-
maniacs returned them amid some NOR
tification and great deal of amuse-
ment.-Goshen Times.

Flora Ind Bank Robbery Is Recalled by
Peculiar Incident

Flora Ind Bank Robbery Is Recalled by a
Peculiar Incident
The robbery of bank at Flora. Ind
a few months ago is recalled by a pecul-
lar circumstance in connection with
the arrest of Yock Allison, of South
Bend, in Elkhart and Harry Slater.
Both men are still in Jail IN Kalamazoo,
Mich, awaiting a continuation on next
Monday of the preliminary hearing of
the charge for which they were arrested
in Indiana, that of robbing or helping
to rob Richland, Michigan, bank.
Along about the time of the Flora
bank robbery two ministers were hunt
ing near there. Game was not plenty so
they amused themselves shooting pro-
miscuously not supposing that any per-
SONS were within gun shot. While do
ing this they fired over IN the direction
of brush pile. Imagine the surprise
of the preachers when two men arose
from behind the pile of brush. The
preachers advanced and, of course of
fered apologies and the incident passed
except that the ministers had a good
look at the two men, the Iatter's faces
were impressed upon the ministerial
minds.
In some way officers learned of the in
cldent and suspectlng Allison and
Slater in connection with the Flora rob-
berry had the preachers visit Kalamazoo
to see if they could identify Allison
and Slater as the men from behind the
brush pile 1t is stated that the minis
ters went to the Michigan town and up
on seeing the two prisoners identified
them as the men who were behind the
brush

as the door but without avail. 1t sank
before the unbearable heat and was con-
sumed with the other two unfortunate
orutes. How the fire started remains
unanswered. The building was mass
OF flames when first discovered. The
NOW was filled with hay which took the
ire almost as efficiently as gunpowder.
There is little doubt but that the borses
were dead within few minutes after
combustion started. The barn was a
fayorite haunt of children. 1t has been
suggested that match dropped by one
of them might account for the fire.
Some insurance was held but not
enough by several hundred to cover the
loss

Laporte, says that up to the time of his
arrival at Albuquerque they were pub
lie. He has introduced a reform in this
custom and hanging will be in private
in the future. The first execution un-
der his regime will take place in few
days. At the last execution at AL
buquerque people flocked to the city
from distance of two hundred miles,
many arriving two days before the
event. 1t was more of drawing card

not be repeated while Judge Crum-

EVIDENCE AGAINST FIFTEEN.

PHYSICIANS

Medical Board to Prosecute Unlicensed
Physicians.
The state Board of Medical EXamin
ation and Registration held a meeting
at Indianapolis lasting from yesterday
morning until late last night Most of
the time was occupied in considering
the cases of over two hundred phvsi-
clans who are practicing in the state
without licenses, and at the conclu-:on
of the days business conclusive testi
mony was found against fifteen of them.
This number, however, does not repre-
sent the end of the work in this direc-
tion, and that there was not more cases
disposed of yesterday was due to the
fact that the testimony was not COM
plete in any of the cases. The mem
bers of the board call attention to the
dependence that they are compelled to
place on the physicians of the state and
the public at large to inform the board
what doctors are practicing illegally
and to file the names of witnesses who
will appear against the doctors.

The Dunkards Will come. Secretary
Redd of the business mems association
has been authorized to inform them
that everything is secure. Mondays
the business men have had yet. Some
six hundred dollars had been secured in
the country. The city solicitors had
added to their lists. subscriptions were
called for at the meeting with the result
that several hundred dollars were added
to former subscriptions. Some of our
martyr business men, of which we have
q few, doubled their first subscriptions.
The amount was yet far below the re-
Quirement. Speeches which smacked
of true Fourth of July patriotism were
made one after another. Several unfOr-
seen sources for subscriptions were
suggested. Finally arrangements were
completed with the result that the
bonus is practically secure. The Dunk
ards will not delay their advent in this
city.
What 1t Means.
Plymouth will be the Mecca of Dunk
ardism for the world. The name of our
city shall be known familiarly through
out the breadth of America and foreign
lands. Property will raise in price.
Farms can be sold at good profit. The
sixty-five vacant houses i'll Plymouth
will be filled with worthy tenants. New
business blocks will be erected ulti-
mately. The streets in the business
portion of the city will be paved within
a year. Country trade will thereby be
increased.
Plymouth will be elevated morally,
intellectually and financially. In the
main, the class of people which will
come with the institution are refined,
intellectual and we'll fixed.
The postotfice will be enlarged, sala-
ries of the postmaster and employees
will be increased, and perhaps carrier
system may be established.
New institutions will be invoked.
The first to come among us may possi-
bly, be sanitarium built by the Dunk
ards themselves. 1t will not be long
before that big, empty building in
North Plymouth shall be filled with
humming machinery and large force
of workmen as in days of yore.
Trade will be increased, business will
boom. The grocery men, shoe dealers,
dry goods merchants, and in fac, all
business men and business concerns
here will derive untold benefits from the
Dunkard institution and relative effects.

odiciai sentiment IS satisfactory, there
continues to be an undercurrant Of ~
feeling with the public and press OF the
two countries For that reason. the
present move OF the emperor IN stopping
at the Spanish ports causes something
OF a shock in diplomatic quarters, as II
Is felt TO be one more obstacle IN the
way OF the happy rapprochement which
was being executed by the authorities
here and at Berlin. It Is with view OF
minimizing the visit that the assur-
apces are now communicated as to It's
noR.ofiiciaI character. The suggestion
that the emperor may be asked by
Spain 10 act as al arbitrator between
the United States and Spain in case the
Philippine issue becomes acute % dis
missed as absurd on the ground that
no such plan would be considered for q
moment unless both countries Joined IN
a request for It.
The arrival Of the emperor at CadlS
and CartaEena Is awaited with consid-
cradle apprehension by the German au~
thorities as It may give rise to q popu-
lar demonstration open to mlsconstruc-
ton in this country. With q view OF
avoiding such an affaIr, the German
charge d'affaires at Madrid has been in-
struoted to notify the Spanish governs
ment OF the strictly unofacial character
Of the emperor'B visit.
