Got the Bulk of 1t.

j. r. Harrison arrived home from
Plymouth Wednesday evening where
he had spent the day looking after the
interests of Hoover 81 Harrison. These
gentlemen had filed bid for the rec
ords, blanks, stationery and other sup
plies needed by the officers of Marshall
county and Mr.. Harrison was present
to look after it.
The competition there was very
strong, there being nine bidders. The
county belonged to Wilson, Humphreys
& Co.; that is, the "big five" had so de-
creed, but the other bidders made il
pretty warm for the LOgansport concern
There were seven classes of the work to
bid upon, and naturally enough it was
divided up. Messrs. Hoover & Harrl
son got classes one and four, or S4Oz
worth of it, and three other bidders got
$377.55 worth between them.-Colum.

"Smart Aleck" Youngsters.

Plymouth has number of boys OF
the "smart aieck" stripe who will get
themselves into trouble soon if their
FRANKS are continued. Thursday night
several of them kept throwing open the
door of business place on Michigan
street. to the annoyance of the lady who
was attending the store in the absence
of the proprietor. She reprimande
them and for her pains volley of eggs
were thrown against the door.
Such conduct reflects seriously upon
the parents of these boys and they
ought to be ashamed of themselves for
this reason if for no other. An arrest
and a fine will probably have TO be
melted out to these youngsters before
they will know that others can be pro.
tected in their rights.

Bicycles for This Year.

Already bicycle dealers are casting
about for this years supply and the bi-
cycle trunk is again familiar sight to
baggagemen. 1t is said that there will
be few changes in the wheels for 1900
The manufacturers will pay especial
attention to making lighter machines
but still retaining their strength and
durability. The experimental stage OF
the chainless wheel has passed and it
will be more popular than ever this
year. Chainless wheels will be from
three to five pounds lighter than last
year. The price will range from $50 to
SO Many Of this years wheels will
be benefited with caster breaks.

First of All 1t should Receive The Patron
age of the People Ii Serves.
The Indianapolis Press, the new af-
ternoon journal recently projected at
of the way in the least when it says
that "The extension of rural free deliy-
cry system means greater prosperity for
the country papers Of Indiana. The
paper that has found slender success,
because the population of its town was
so small Will be able to reach out
for daily subscribers among farmers of
Its vicinity, and enlarge its list of read
ers and its value as an advertising med
inm. The progressive farmer must
keep in close touch with the world, and
will be quick to take advantage of the
opportunity. Indiana is fortunate in
the character of the newspapers pub
lished in its smaller cities and towns
its country newspapers, If you please.
| The proverbial country editor of iic-
ton and tradition, who made of his pro-
fessiOn joke, has given way to the
country editor of today, usually clean
cut, up-to-date business man, endowed
with keen sense of his responsibility
and proud of his life work. The week
| lies have grown in circulation and In
quality, and the number of .dailies has
increased rapidly, until now there are
few towns of Importance in the state
that have not at least one. Their in
fluence upon the development of Indi-
ana's high standard of education and
public morality has been quietly ex-
erted. One does not find much mention
of them in the outside world, but the
influence is there, just the same, strong
in its uplifting tendencysand potent for
good. The material prosperity of these
newspapers is the best evidence of their
usefulness. AS general thing they
are we'll supported, even In towns close
to Indianapolis and other large cities
where metropolitan dailies are put
forth. And this is as it should be, for
the man that does not read his home
paper not only misses the minute local
view of affairs in his own community,
but fails in his duty of supporting a
| valuable influence for the prosperity
and advancement of his own locality

city paper, if he thinks it valuable"

For Conducting Appeals by Supreme and
Appellate Courts.

For Conducting Appeals by Supreme and
Appellate Courts.
A revision of the rules governing the
practice in conducting appeals was
adopted by the supreme and appellate
courts yesterday. The rules are to take
effect on the first day of the November
term, and. while they are intended to be
merely advisory until that time, the
judges express it as their wish that the
new rules shall be followed as far as
possible in all future appeals. The
rules were made to take effect in the
future in order that the attorneys
might have time to become acquainted
with them before they run any risk of
having their appeals dismissed by not
complying with them. Three-fourths
Of the rules remain practically unal-
tered, with the exception of some slight
changes, in order to make them more
explicit.

SUICIDE OF EDITOR SUTTON.

!. E. Sutton, publisher and pro-
prietor of the Logansport Reporter,
suicided at St. Paul, Mimi, Satur
day evening.
Mr.. Sutton was reputed as icing
one of the most successful newspa-
per men in the state; ne was an en-
thusiast in his calling and was al
ways active in making the annual
editorial meetings 4 success. Last
spring he presented most excellent
paper on newspaper management at
the Northern Indiana Editorial as.
ISOLATION which was appreciated by
all the editors in attendance.
Dependency is given IS the cause
of his rash act. Mr.. Sutton was
only 50 years of age but lie had &C
cumulated considerable property,
though starting in life a poor boy.
However, his business ventures have
not all been sunshine. AT South
Bend, he undertook to start morn
ing paper and in less than two
months gave up the venture, sinking
nearly $4,000. He has no doubt
started and owned more papers than
any other publisher in Indiana. His
plan was to start weekly papers in
small towns, setting the type and
doing the press work in his Logans-
port office. In a number of in
stances, he was remarkably success
full but in others he failed and the
papers were discontinued. AT the
time of his death, he was publishing
the Daily and Weekly Reporter at
Logansport and the Advance in the
same city, besides few outside
weeklies in small towns.
Had he been content with the lu-
cratiye business of his papers, as he
has conducted them since their in
ception, no doubt he would be alive
and happy today. But he was am
bilious. He wanted to have met
ropolitan newspaper plant in Lo-
gansport, which cities of its size
cannot justify. Only recently he
completed fine business block in a
prominent part of the city, known
as the Sutton block, in which his
newspaper office is located He has
also a modern hotel in the building
which he has been giving personal
supervision. Not only has he in
vested much money in this building,
but he has during the year pur-
chased costly duplex press, and
Merganthaler type-setting machines.
Altogether, he must have expended
nearly $4,000, doubtless incumber-
ing himself beyond his ability. A
brother suicided in Montana only
two months ago.
This is an instance of the folly of
ambition. The accumulation of
wealth and influence does not neces-
sarily carry with it happiness and
contentment. Fan better live con-
tentedly with small business respon-
sibilities than to burden ones self
for the sake of controlling enter
prises too great for the finance at
ones command.

THEY FAVOR McDONALD.

The South Bend Times has pro-
posed Daniel Mcdonald as candi-
date for the secretaryship of the
democratic state central committee,
to which the Lafayette Journal adds
"Perhaps no man in Indiana is
better fitted for the duties of that
position. Mr.. Mcdonald knows the
state and the men of it better than
most, is courteous, fair in his treat
ment of every one, and possessed
of both the methodical habit and
the clerical experience which the
position demands. He is, besides,
wise as counsellor, and true as
steel to his party always. He is not
man who would engage in strug-
gle for the place, and he should not
find that necessary. He would be
of the greatest usefulness to the
party, and a host of democratic
friends all over Indiana would be
pleased to see him chosen"
