1t Awakened Many.

Tuesday night about II o'clock several
persons awakened a large portion of
the slumbering citizens of North Plym-
outh by firing off revolvers. The can
nonade, 90 speaking, continued about
ten minutes. During that time some
twenty or twenty-five shots were fired.
The reports we're desfening and must
have been brought about by the use of
heavy weapons. Many of the more
timid citizens in the immediate locality
of the commotion were alarmed beyond
measure, supposIng it to be pitched
battle of some sort. Upon investigs-
tion Wednesday, however, it is dis
covered that young couple just mar
ried were making their way along the
street and the racket proceeded from a
beling party who were following in
their wake and making the air lively.

To Do Away with Appellate Court.

The Indianapolis bar association has
appointed a committee to secure the
Endorsement at the polls next Novem-
Der of the two proposed amendments
to the constitution in which the lawyers
of the state are especially interested.
One provides that the Legislature shall
prescribe qualifications for admittsnce
to the bar and the other provides that
the legislature may increase the num-
Der of supreme judges to eleven, thus
doing away with the appellate court.
Both these proposed amendments have
been passed by two general assemblies,
and 60 to the people next November.
1t is the hope of the lawyers of Indian
spolis that both political state conven-
tions will indorse the amendments and
the committee will suggest to party
leaders that this be done.

An Archery Club on Foot.

Steps are being taken toward the or
ganization of an archery club in this
locality. If it could be once effected
there is little doubt but what it would
be self-perpetuating Archery is one
of the cleanest, most invigorsting and
at the same time most entIcing of out
door sports. 1t is much more suitable
to pastime in summer than spending
ones hours with some lazy picnicing
party. In archery the ambition is stim-
ulated and both body and mind are
called into action. Incidentally the
public might occasionally be favored
with more or less thrilling tourna-
ment. We await developments.

The Chicago Times Herald has an
article describing the methods of the
Indiana Reform School, by q lady who
is connected with reform work in Chi
cago. She regards it as model which
other states should adopt if they hope
to stop training boys for the peniten-
tiary. By an examination of the re-
cords she learns that 80 per cent of those
who are sent to the school are reformed,
largely because they are taught en-
ployment by which they can earn q
living. Under the present system In
diana has several model institutions.

A Heavy Traffic.

Last Saturday and Sunday the west
ern division of the Pittsburg, Fl. Wayne
and Chicago road handled the greatest
mum ber of trains of the season, and
when the tonnage of the freight carried
is learned, it will be found to exceed
that of any similar period in the road s
history. Saturdays business was con-
sidersbly larger than Sundays. it
amounting to sixty-eight trains, while
that of Sunday was fifty-seven trains,
the total being 155. This immense
business was handled without sem
blsnce of q blockade.

George WOlfOrd Goes to Paris.

George Wolford, who is we'll known
throughout the county, sailed for Paris
last Sunday. During the past year
George has travelled from ocean to
ocean IN America and now he will ex-
anime the land that lies beyond. He is
the first citizen of Plymouth so far
who has taken any substantial steps to-
ward visiting the exposition to be held
in the gay capital of France this sum-
mer. No doubt others will follow as
the season advances.

he and five companions took in q sail

around number of Uncle Sans big
warshlps, which Walter says are painted
In beautiful war paint. Before they
came in they visited the wrecks of sew

secured. As Walter is now on his way

! Bishop White, of the Michigan City
diocese, gave an expostulstoin of the
doctrines of the "church" Wednesday,
His sermon centered around this Ques-
ton: How are We justified in believing
there is divine organization To at
tempt to work out his convincing argu-
ments in this synopsis would amount
to only foolish trsvesty. Briefly fol-
lowing the trend of his talk, however,
he pointed out into what hopeless ex
tremes one is lead by the idea that one
has q right to believe ss one pleases.
This idea has lead to the multiplica-
tions of church organizations which still
continue to multiply. If the idea is
right, where does it receive divine sane
ton? You cannot find it in the bible.
The bible speaks of the "church" which
distinctly means one church. God does
not instruct you to believe as you think.
The instruction is: "This is the way
walk ye in it." The essence of sin is
WlllIulneS6. Inc essence or religion is
the surrender of your will to that OF
God.
Many people have thought no deeper
than to suppose that God gave us the
bible and that this was the sum of bis
divine mediation on earth. God did
more than this. He first established g
church. True it was a part of the
work of the members OF His church tC
write the bible, but should we not have
as much faith in the institution they
established as in the words they wrote
The sermon was continued in the
form of a historical outline of the
"church" with argument and applica-
tion intermixed.

ness continued over period of sbout

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been lost in the poultry business on ac-
count of the devastation among the
flocks, caused by cholera, roup, cape
and other fatal diseases. There have
been many remedies advanced, but
none seem to be so successful as the
American Poultry Mixture. This will
cure chickens in the last stage of chol-
era and rOup, and is excellent for
gapes. Do your fowls suffer from vio-
lent disrrhoea, dropping of the wings,
stupor or excessive thirst? These are
the first symptoms of cholera. Cholera
is germ disease and being infectious
spreads rapidly through the entire
flock. Take time by the forelock; don't
stop to experiment with unreliable or
untried remedies. Use this mixture at
once and the sanitary measures they
recommend in connection. Don't give
the fowls up. Cholera is terrible dis
ease but this remedy cures it every
time. 1t is also guaranteed for roup,
which can be told by hoaIse breathing,
swellsd eyes, discharge at the nostrils,
resembling catarrh. Fifty dollars is
offered for any case the Mixture will
not cure. If some of your fowls are
diseased. it will prevent the rest from
catching it. Try it. 1t is cheap, reli-
able and effective; scientific prepare
tion, goes more than three times as far
as any other remedy; does more good
than all of them combined. 1t is used
and endorsed by the most experienced
and largest breeders of plain and fancy
poultry in all parts of the world. The
manufacturers guarantee every pack
age or refund purchase money. If
your druggist don't sell American Poul.
try Mixture, he's behind the age. In
that case send S1OO for sample box Ia

1t has been suggested that on account
of its large mem bership and unwieldy-

should be divided, the line
of division to be north and south. Or
ganizations with a membership of $500
are too large for either convenience or

Injured His Ankle.

Charles Lawrence, living four miles
south of town, met with very serious
accident last Monday morning. He
was splitting wood at his home when
the axe slipped and struck his right
ankle. 1t did not cut into the bone but
took off no small amount of muscle
and flesh from the inside of the joint.
The accident will cripple him up for
sometime, but otherwise it is not very
dangerous, resulting only in the loss of
about two quarts of blood.

Flowing Up Wheat.

The farmers of Southern Indiana are
said to be plowing up their wheat, and
it Is freely predicted that those of the
northern portion of the state will plow
up the most of theirs when the ground
is in condition for blowing. This con-
dition of things is anything but en-
coursging to the farmers of our state,
but the only thing that can be done is
to face the situation bravely and make
the most of it.
