Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1899-07-07

from the Ninth district, in that he
yielded to their persuasion, making an
address in q down town locality where
patriotic explosives seemed to be super
numerous. His ringing appeals to the
patriotic impulses silenced the over
flowing enthusiasm of old and young,
who were anxious to hear the crack of
the blank cartridges and monster fire
crackers -sileDced such that his SEN
tences were plainly audible and the
large crowd of country folk went home
feeling that they had received bar
gain for their money, if no other at
fractions had been provided.
F. II. Wurzer. private secretary for
Congressman Brick, followed Mr.. Ian
dis. He said that hs came to apologize
for Mr.. Brick who was unsvoidably de-
tanned at Washington. Mr.. WurZer's
discourse was well thought out and log
ically presented but be was unfortu-
nate in getting his voice pitched above
the rampant fire crackers. The people
were not willing to listen to a weighty
discussion at such an occasion. They
wanted to be amused rather than made
to think very extraordinarily. Had Mr..
house when the audience went purposely
to hear discussion, his part could not
have been other than accepted as rare
treat. He is scholarly young man.
The crowd was drawn to the fair
grounds about $3.50 o'clock to witness
the ball game between LoganspOrt and
Bremen, where a remarkably close con
test was put up. LOganspOrt had de-
feated Rochester and Bremen had gone
down under the professional skill of
the Nebraska Indians on the day pre-.
ceediDg. Logonsport felt that the signs
were suspicious and ardently expected
victory to perch upon her banner, but
SIZE was doomed to disappointment. A,
the end of the fifth inning, Bremen had
one score and Logansport "goOse
egg" In the seventh inning Logans
port tied the score but Bremen sent two
more to the home plate in the eighth
team thereafter. The score stood 3 tt
in favor of Bremen.
In the evening, the Bremen anC
Argos bands gave concerts on Michi
gan street and thousands watched tht
most magnificent fire display eve
shown in this section of the state. Th'
display exceeded all expectations as tt
quality and quantity.
There was theatre at the opera hOus,
in the evening and all who were not ex
hausted at IL o'clock danced till tn,
"wee sma" hours after the dram sti,
entertainment was over.
The Zouave drill was given on La
porte street in the afternoon.
The athletic sports were prevented
on account of the rain. However tn,
people were furnished entertainment
all day long and all were aware tha
the committee were ready with ever,
attraction promised end were only pro
hibited in few instances by the ele
ments, oyer which human beings ha(
no control.
1t was grand celebration. The citi
zens appreciated it, the country peopl,
appreciated it, the soldiers appreciated
it and all unite in extending cOngratu
lations to the committee that managed
the affair so successfully. There is ye
balancing up of debts and credits t,
occupy the attention of the committe
but it is evident that this will be a
satisfactorily attended to as were tn
entertainments manipulated. All unit
in saying that so far as Marshal
county was concerned, it was Gloriou
Fourth.
