They've been catching fish and fish
stories up ct Green Lake recently. One
OF the latest stories is told OF q Bangor
fisherman who became drowsy and de-
cided to take a nap. He did not dare
trust to holding the line in his hands
while sleeping. for fear that he would
lose his grip and not know when he had
a bite. but he hit on a scheme by which
no fish could bite and he not know il.
He would wind the lines about his ears,
recline in the bottom of the canoe and
sleep long and peacefully. Soon his
snores were beginning to make his com
panions euvious. Then there came a
change. The air was rent by blood
curdling yell, and the frail craft was
nearly overturned. The sleepy fisherman
had received bite on the line W hich was
made fast to bis right ear. Ii WIS VIC
ious bite-one that nearly tore the ear
from his head and reminded him OF the
days, long ago, when a stern school marin
used TO lead him to punishment with a
firm grip on that useful member. But he
was a true fisherman, and despite the pain
he caught hold OF the line and drew into
the canoe plump three pound pickerei.

EGAN AGAINST BRITISH POLICY,

Patrick Egan, the great Irish
patriot and exile who has long been
conspicuous as an Irish republican,
like all disinterested lovers of polit-
ical liberty in the broad and true
sense, finds himself in a position of
antagonism to the present foreign
policy of the Mark Hanna regime.
He has felt the claws of British
brutality and finds no features of
the American declaration of indie
pendence which should forbid him
as an American citizen from sympa-
thizing openly and aggressively
with the gallant farmers of South
Africa. And now while the repub-
lican press of America is loud in It's
commentator of Salisbury's late
speech he gives expression to the
following emphatic views:
"lt is so plainly brutally British in
its frankness that it will in my judg-
ment do more to arouse and revivify
Irish hostility to British rule in Ire
land and widespread antagonism to
maudlin Anglo Saxonism on this
continent than could be accom-
plished in ten years by the speeches
of the most brilliant and patriotic
Irish or American orators."- Indi-
annapolis Sentinel.

The following article appeared in

Call the Indiana members in con-
gress have been renominated with

mously in two weeks. This makes
every one of the present delegation a
candidate for reelection, except Mr..
Farls. The four democrats are can

publican members, Mr.. Steele is a
candidate for the eighth term. MIR.

one being conducted in the presence of

to all in Plymouth and she is regarded
by everyone as young lady of merit

State Democratic Leaders Are Urging

State Democratic Leaders Are Urging
Him Not To Quit GubernatOrial
There is evidence that movement is
on foot that may result in the nomina-
ton of b. f. Shively for governor, over
his declination. Expressions favoring
forcing the nomination on Shively were
heard Friday from democrats gathered
in the city from the four corners of the
state. A good many of them have
formed the impression that Shively has
been compelled to decline. They have
not formed a definite idea as to who
has forced Shively off the track, but are
inclined to lay the blame on the con-
servative element of the party.
A good many supporters of the party
principles do not consider it consistent
with democratic doctrine that q man
should be shut out of the race for gov
ernOr because he cannot raise enough
money to enter the campaign and stand
the assessments. at has come to
pretty pass" said Worth Wright, a sill
yer republican leader, "when the people
cannot vote for the man of their choice,
because he happens to be poor man.
| call it an outrage"
According to reliable reports prom in
ent democratic leaders of Northern In.
diana have determined that Shively
shall not withdraw from the race. 1t is
reported that conference of these
leaders with Mr.. Shively was hello yes
terday afternoon at his home IN South
Bend, and that he was urged to make
the race. r. &. Bell, of Fl. Wayne, who
probably will be one of the delegates-a,-
large to the National Convention, is
credited with taking prominent part
in the attempt to induce Shively to re-
main in the race. He was in IndIanap-
oils a few days ago and held private
conference with several of the demo-
cratic leaders at the Denison House.

the wind carrying him toward the
southwest. He sailed away over the
business portion of town and when d.
rectly over the electric light plant,
dropped the 800 tickets on the pair of
shoes which Mr.. Hartle had advertised
to give away. The small boys in the
crowd and some larger ones scsmpered
off to gather up the coveted treasures.
Floyd Ebel was the successful one,
drawing pair of shoes on ticket No. So.
Prof. Phillips dropped in his para
chute when over the flats and landed
just east of the l.. f. & w. river bridge.
His balloon was carried out much
farther and came down near the LIg
gett bridge, about two and one-half
miles southwest of town.

WHO FOR GOVERNOR Z?

Since the withdrawal of Hon. B.
F. Shively from the race for COVER
nor, numerous candidates have
sprung up. Kern and Burke, both of
Indianapolis, are the heavy weights
though it is barely possible that the
convention may tender the nomina-
ton to Mr.. Shively, notwithstand-
ing his withdrawal. Shively is the
best timber in the state. Kern
seems to be next in favor in this
section.

district will demand. Charley Lam
dis could not hope for better luck
than to have Capt. Allen as his OPP
ponent this fall. If the democrats
of that district want winner they
should go to Lands home city and
nominate Attorney Nj. a. Ryan.
There Is not more aggressive cam
paigner in the state than Attorney
Ryan and he is right side up on the
money question. There is chance
for the democrats to win in the
Ninth district this fall and, if they
do it, they must make no mistake in
the selection of their nominee.

Bremen Defeats south Bend Club.

The Bremen ball team scored a mag
nificent victory over the South Bend
team Sunday. The South Bend team
contained several of the crack players
of the Green Stockings. The score was
l6 to 2 in favor of Bremen. Over 300
people witnessed the game, nearly thir-
ty of whom went from Plymouth.
Gass and Gardener, of the Bremen
club, make up battery far superior to
the average of amateur clubs. Their
work was clever from start to finish
and they were well backed by the other
members of the team.
The South Bend club is by no means
slow, but they run up against the "reel
thing" when they crossed bats with the
Bremen club.
The boys of both teams were careful
that the game was civil throughout.
A return game will probably be played
soon.

is TO go to another field. During his

Argos band the pride of the county.
There are very few more enterprising
business men than Mr.. Hadermann and
his departure is a keen loss to Marshall

1t is claimed that there are two
machines being organized to contest
for supremacy at the democratic
state convention-One composed of
Taggart, Kern and Morss, and the
other composed of Shively, Burke
and Shanklin. If this is the line up,
Marshall county will doubtless be
found with the latter machine.
There is not the best feeling in the
world up here for the Indianapolis
crowd, as it is thought by many
that that element of the party has
mistreated MIR. Shively and many
of his friends of this district.
