Council Proceedings.

The city council held long session
Monday. Nothing, however, of mark
ell Importance came before them. The
evening was principally occupied in
trivial discussion. Several minor petit
tiOns were liste ned to.
Among the acts of the evening was
the granting of so to the Headlight
Publishing company instead of $50 as
per contract. The reason of the varia-
ton was that in certain respects, Ie-
garding the size of cuts, etc, the Head
light company had failed TO accord with
the agreements. La some other ways
the company had more than complied
with their contract.
y report from the city engineer and
formal contract regarding the pave
Ing of Sophia street was read The
people will be granted the time between
now and next council meeting for pre-
sentiDg a remonstrance Ii none ap-
pears, bids will be received and In due
time the contract will be let. From the
present outlook it will be towards the
close of summer before the active work
begins.

SHOT THROUGH HIS HAT.
ARTHUR WHITE

Jacob Henry Narrowly Escapes Ma
licious Bullet.
Jacob Henry who resides on farm
south of this city recently had singu-
lar experience and owes his life to g
mere incident. He was sitting on the
banks of Yellow river, which glides by
his farm, when suddenly the sharp re.
port of rifle rang out, and simultan.
eously his hat was taken to the ground
by the force of a bullet. At first he
was too much startled to comprehend
exactly what had happened but upon a
moments reflection he knew that he
had been serving some one in the ca
pacity of a target He made it his
immediate business to discover the
assassin if possible, but was unsuccess-
full. The fact that no hunter could be
found in the vicinity would argue that
the bullet was fired with malicious in
tent to either hurt, kill or scare, and
was not spent shot, as migtt be sup.
posed.

Representative of the OIivers speaks for
Them on the subject.
A representative of the Oliver Chilled
Plow works of South Bend interviewed
says:
"The meeting held in Chicago Oh Mon
day was q meeting of plow makers to
consider matters of mutual interest, but
| do not believe a trust was formed. y;
any rate the Oliver company is not In 1t
We were invited to attend the meeting
and in reply wrote a courteous letter
saying we would not be present. If a
trust should be formed | do not think
we would join it"
In regard TO the report that an ad-
vance would be made In the price OF
plows the same representative said that
so far as the Oliver company is con-
cerned the matter had not yet been Civ
en- full consideration. The price OF steel,
ne said, has been advanced about % per
cent and there has also been great ad
advance in the price OF timber used III
the manufacture of plow beams. The
divers, fortunately have on hand, ne
said, large stock of steel and iron
which may carry them through If the
higher market does not continue toe
long The firm hopes such will be the
case.
Arthur ID. Bake er, vice president of the
South Bend Chilled Plow company, at
tended the meeting. He says:
1.-The meeting was one of leading plow
makers t. consider matters OF mutual
interest. 1t is true that Judge Vincent
of Chicago, a promoter, desires to form
a plow combination and has submitted
a proposition embodyiDg S25,OOO.OOO OF
pref eierred stock and 25,O00,C00 of COM
mon, but his proposals met with very
little consideration. Some plow men
are favorable to combine and some
are not, but it Is my opinion that nc
plow company of consequence has CIV
en- an option upon its plant.
"The main purpose of our meeting in
Chicago was to take up and digest the
subject of q uniform price list, and a
uniform advance in prices if it becomes
necessary as a result of the advance
which has been made in steel, iron and
the class of timber We use. a schedule
was arranged and will he printed and
distributed to the plOw men for their
more careful consideration. Another
meeting will then be held in Chicago
about Jone to further digest the mat
ter. The story of tIust, however, Is
not true"

A Change of Milling Firm.

On Saturday last, May 9Th, deal was
consumated between =. Dlsher and
John F. Zarp, whereby the latter be-
came the owner of Mr.. II. Disher's in
terest in the roller flour mill. The mem.
bers of the new firm will be John +
carp and Owen Disher. The new firm
will conduct the business under the
name of the Plymouth Milling Co.
John +. carp is not d stranger. lie
came to Plymouth nearly two years
ago, and rebuilt the Dsher mill and
made it a first class mill, capable of
making as good flour as any mill In the
state. He has since been connected
with the firm as miller and partner in
the business. Mr.. Zarp has spent thirty
two years in the milling business, and
has gained high reputation as miller
and mill builder in Rochester, Bing-
hamton and Oswego, n. Y. About
eighteen years ago he came to Indian
apolis. A year later the roller system
Cbuc iuIO use, ouu uc was one OI the
first millers in the winter wheat states
to make the roller system success, be-
ing then located at Franklin, Indiana
Since that time he has built and opera
ted mills in Louisville, Ky, Chattanooga,
Tenn, Marietta and Atlanta, Ga. He
has been three different times at Frank
lin, Ind, and came from there to Plym-
outh. One thousand barrels of flour
have teen shipped to Franklin since
Mr.. Zarp has been here, which speaks
well for the Plymouth flour, as there
are two large mills at Franklin. The
new milling firm are asking the people
of Plymouth to cooperate by buying

Will form a tree; then put together
others and you will have a living,

claimed, but in these days of wizards in
alchemy, like Edison, it was strange
that some chemist had not found the
elements which, put together, would
make man. Tests had been made to
produce life from dry leaves, and other
dead matter, but MOI life appeared,
which showed that Bsstisns expert
ments and claims were defective. Athe-
lstic evolution was left without proof
All life came from antecedent life, and
like begets like the world over. There
was something in the instances of al

show that they came from other species.

A LETTER FROM PHILIPPINES.
The Following Letter from Arthur White
an Old Marshall County Boy. Address
ed j. w. Thomas is full of

Interest.
Mr.. j. W Thomas, Plymouth, Ind
Dear Sir:-Your letter of Feb. 10th is
at hand and contents noted with
pleasure. We are at present quartered
in church about six miles east of
Manila and helping to guard the water
main and pumping station. We have
had no fights since March when we
run the natives across the Marteo river
and lost five men, eight wounded and
Major Bell and our captain wounded.
There is heavy fighting both to our
right and left this morning ard we may
be called to reinforce some position at
any moment. Every church on this
island is q fort and used as barracks by
the native soldiers and afterwards by
the Amer cans.
The Americans have been successful
in every attack but if the natives con-
tinue we will see harder fighting when
We get from under protection of the
fleet. So far we have had the powerful
guns of the navy to shell them out of
their trenches but when artillery can
not be brought to bear on them they
make good fight. Our company made
one charge on them when there was no
big guns to shell them and they re-
mained behind their sto g breastworks
until We were within % yards of them
but when they started to retreat we got
revenge with interest. They have the
advantage of using smokeless powder
ard longer range rifle than Uncle
Sam sees fit to give us. We use the
Springfield rifle, caliber 40, range 1000
yards. The natives use the Mauser
rifle, caliber 2S, range $500 yards. Our
troops are often ambushed but so far
they have never sue ceeded in causing
panic and retreat The sharp shooters
can shoot too well to suit me.
[ hope Frank comes back with roll
of money as big as fence post and
that he is lucky and finds it quick. l
am coming back to Gods country as
soon as l am discharged. This is no
place for poor man or for rich man
unless he understands farming in
tropical country, It is hot and dry here
now. hope before this letter reaches
you that you will know of this war be-
Ing settled. Yours truly,

Gov. Mount May Decline to Appoint Tn.
der the New Dental Law.

der the New Dental Law.
The law creating the state dental
board is alleged in the state house to be
unconstitutional, for the reason that II
provides that the governor shall appoint
as members OF the board persons named
by the state dental association. The
dental association is a private enter
prise, it is alleged, and law which re.
strlcts the governors appointments to
members of this association is regarded
by some good legal authority as con-
trary to the constitution. There is talk
that the governor may refuse to appoint
under this law. The state dental board
was created by law passed about
twenty years ago.

cATARRH OF STOMACH.
4 Pleasant. simple, but fafe ana Ersosual

a Pleasant, Simple, but SAFE and Efrectu,
Cure fortt
Catarrh of the STOMACH has long
been considered the next thing to
lncuraDle. The usual symptoms
are full of bloating sensation
after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings,
formation of gases, causing pres
sure on the sneart and lungs and
dlf1lcult breathing; headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness and a
general played out, languid feel
ing.
There is often a foul taste in
the mouth, coated tongue and if the
interior of the stomach could be
seen it would show a Shiny, in
famed condition.
The cure OF this common and
obstinate trouble is found in a
treatment which causes the food
to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous sur
faces Of the stomach. To secure
a prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing TO do and
when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet. compos-
ed Of Diatase, Aseptic Pepsin, lit
tie Nux. Golden Seal and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safe
ty and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. n. ]. Booher, of 2710 Dear
born St., Chicago, Ill.,, writes:
"Catarrh is local condition re-
sultlng from a neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining men,
brane of the nose becomes infIamed
and the poisonous discharge there
from passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus
producing catarrh Of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for
me for three years for catarrh of
stomach without cure, but to-day
l am the happiest Of men after
using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. l cannot find
appropriate words to express my
good feeling. l have found flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their
USE"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the
simplets and most convenient rem
edy for any form of indigestion,
catarrh of stomach, biliousness,
sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals.

there is a great awakening going on
among English manufacturers over

paper there has met with most cor
dial reception, he says, and the news
columns of both daily and trade pa
pers are filled with facts about Amer
lean trade, while the matter is given
serious editorial discussion, which in
English daily papers means much
more serious consideration than the
same editorial space devoted to a like
subject in the average American
newspaper. In this weeks issue of
the particular trade paper referred to,
Mr.. Halstead says that fully twelve
900-wOrd columns are devoted to
American trade matters. about one
