Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1898-04-01

We have passed the vernal equinox
and the signs already multiply of the
presence of spring. To some, the most
/ significant of these signs is the budding
OF trees; to others, the millinery open
ings. The trees are perhaps more TO be
trusted than the milliners, for they do
not array trimmings till the air grows
warmer, while the spring hats must be
made ready by the almanac To agree.
Though the blizzard may strike us yet,
the winter Is past.
In speaking Of the republican con.
gressionaI outlook in Indiana, the In
dianapolis Sentinel says of Congress-
man ROyse: SIN the Thirteenth every
body is digusted with Royse, and his
chances for denomination are not even
quoted on the stock list He has not
been in the district since his election,
it is said, and has devoted his entire
time in Washington to looking after
his personal interest and advancement
regardless of the district or his constitu-
ents; consequently the Thirteenth has
had about all of Royse that it wants. ="
1t is said that good many people
who own dogs, think that when the
assessors come around this spring and
ask for the dollar, or three dollars as
the case may be. for the dog, that they,
the owners, can refuse to pay if they
wish and let the assessor take or Kill
the dog. This is mistake, for In that
case the assessor is required to simp-
ly rep ort such parties as re.
fusing TO pay their dog taxes, and the
prosecuting attorney and justice courts
do the rest. Parties owning dogs and
refusing to pay the tax are subject to a
fine and 1t is the assessors duty to see
that such cases are reported.

The board of public works have elected

company, who were named by Mr. Cowen,

officers are to all intents and purposes

In this condition the board of public
works has advertised for bids for the
stock and bonded interest OF Maryland,
the controlling interest of the work.
The effect of this must be to exclude
all bidders save the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, for no outside party
can afford to buy the States interest three
and a half years in advance of the time
which il would be possible for the pur-
chaser to get possession of the work.
There is one barrier, however, in the
way of the complete success of the Bal
timore and Ohio scheme. Their purchase
of the stock and bonds of the company
Is clearly illegal. No power was granted
to them to make such an investment

MOST SUCCESSFUL
HELD IN MANY YEARS
SESSION OF KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Disposition of the Appeals of Dis
trict Members From the Decision
OF General Executive Board.

The twenty-second annual session OF
the general assembly of the knights of
Labor, which convened last week in Chi
cago. is reported 10 have been the most
successful held by the order for several
years. The increase in membership of
the order throughout the United States
and Canada. allowed of a larger increase
of the number of delegates, than at the
two previous annual assemblies, and the
proceedings throughout were marked
with greatest harmony.
The only matter of local interest which
was acted on during the session, was the
disposition of the appeal of certain men,
bers of District Assembly No. &c, who ap-
pealed from the decision of the general
executive board of the order which. had
expelled them for alleged infraction of
the constitution of the knights of La
Dor. The matter was reported by the

PECULIAR POISONS.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of EnOI.

Every living thing. plant or animal
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF dis
ease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of i'm
perfect digestion of food; the result of in
digestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse. weakness,
| does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments dhe first process of
decay poisoning the blood. making it
thin. weak and lacking in red corpuscles;
poisoning the brain, causing headache
and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys.
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ
every nerve depends upon the stom9 ch
alone for nourishment and renewal. and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion. ~" s'
The great English scientist Huxley
said the best start in life is a sound stom-
ach Weak stomachs fail to digest food
properly, because they lack the proper
hydrochloric) and peptogenic products;
the most sensible remedy in all cases Of
indigestion is to take after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. be-
cause they supply in a pleasant. harmless
form all the elements that weak stom-
achs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood

BEYOND ALL CHANCE
OF RESURRECTION
CERVERNS SHIPS FOREVER LOST
Naval Authorities Convinced of the
Futility of Attempting the Re-
cOyery of Spain's Armada

Naval authorities have their doubts as
TO whether or not any of the Spanish
ships can be saved, and they have about
come TO the conclusion that it is useless
for the Government to take any risks
That is why the Merritt-Chapman Wreck
ing Company will have to assume all
risks with reference to the Mercedes. If
they deliver the vessel at Norfolk so that
she can be repaired $4,000 will be paid.
Not a cent. however, will be paid for the
work in the event of failure.
The Mercedes is an unprotected iron
cruiser and is about the size of our Gin
cinnati or Raleigh. She is 2S0 feet long,
with 43 feet beam, and mean draught of
Is feet and 5 inches, and was capable of
a speed of between 16 and II knots. Her
cost exclusive of guns was about 81, 900. 600
Altogether she was quite a handy cruiser
of $3.50 tons, and if saved will serve as
trophy that all Americans will prize.
Naval officers are not inclined to agree
with Lieut.. Hobson that the Colon can
be raised They fear that the once proud
ship has been beaten too severely by the
waves, to say nothing of the damage in
flicted by our ships in the engagement of
July 3D.
