DAMAGE GOSSIP Is SILLY.

The statement that the CITY cannot
rescind its recent action relative To
the electric light matter without be-
ing liable for damages to the Fa-
nous company is but idle gossip.
The council is not bound until it
contracts, which it has not done rs
yet. The council is exactly in the
same position relative to the Famous
company that it is with Mr.. Simon>.
Before bidding was contemplated,
Mr.. SImons submitted proposition
which was recommended fayorablV
by the electric light committee and
similarly acted upon by the council.
But the council did not make CON
tract with Mr.. Simons. Neither
has 1t contracted with the Famous
company. If it was a fact that the
Famous company could get dam
ages against the city, SO could Mr..
Simons. But they can't. Such
talk is only gossip.

The farmers of Knox county
have just voted ON proposition to
build number of miles of road at
cost If $4,000 4 mile. The propo-
sition was voted down by decided
majority. Good roads are a neces-
sity to every farm community that
can afford to pay for them, but it Is
not good policy to build them at too
extravagant cost. Boone county
has 400 miles of free gravel roads
and is building more at cost of
from $1,000 10 1000 per mile, so
it is probable that these Knox Coun-
ty f. rmers who voted down the
proposition to build at $4,000 a mile
knew their business, and did not
vote against it because they didn't
want good roads, South Bend

MICKEY A SMOOTH ARTICLE.

Developments regarding the
smoothness of the man Mickey.
who endeavored to railroad slick
piece of work through our city
council, are coming to light very
rapidly. The most fortunate thing
that ever happened the city of
Plymouth was the prevention of
the contract with the Famous COM
pany last Thursday night. Had
Mickey been successful in his sand
bagging process Plymouth would
have a cost y elephant on her hands,
and the council would know from
experience what man trained in
the "franchise getting" business is
able to cover up with smooth words
and legal technicalities. Sufficient
facts have come to light to justify
the Independent in saying that it is
certain that the electric light con-
tract will never be made with the
Famous company. We say this in
all candor, and we believe that the
council will vote unanimously
against it. As the Independent has
SAID before, it believes that our coun-
cilmen are all honest men. 1t fur
ther believes, when conclusive proof
is shown them that Mickey was
Practicing a deception, that not 2
single one of them will vote for
further negotiations with that com
pany. The Independent IS not al
liberty to publish the facts in the
case at this time but it is certain tina
every thing in black and white will
be open for the common council

Tobacco is the most sensitive thing
in the world. You can spoil the best
cigar. pipe or cigarette that ever was
made by lighting it over smoky lamp
or gas jet. The finest tobacco that
ever grew doesn't taste good after you
have been eating onions. Again, you
should rinse your mouth out after a
cigar, pipe or cigarette, before lighting
another. If you do YOU will find that
every smoke has the soft fragrance of
the early morning cigarette, instead of
the hot stsl eness of the last pipe.
An unusual sight may be witnessed

pieces, the largest weighing prOba-
bly, $50 pounds. This was hurled dis
lance of twenty rods. The force of the
lightning ripped up the roots and fairly
dug the tree out of the ground.
