courage private enterprise and proph-
esy failure. They never see a stranger
without telling him 1.-THE town is
dead" They are busy all the time
in discussions of public affairs, but
never pay cent, perform an
act or say a word to help anything
along for the public good. They re-
gard themselves and are regarded by
others as influential citizens but it
would be hard to find any specific act of
we'll directed influence to put on their
monuments after they are dead. They
are fortunately few in number, but
like the lone coyote on the prairie,
they raise noise enough to carry the
impression of great numbers.
/ would like to see the live men,
the progressive men, the men who
make Plymouth beautiful, hustling,
enterprising city, get together and
howl down the croakers. Your pa
per has printed facts enough just in
the last month to show the growth
and prosperous condition of this city
and every day it adds to the story.
Why not proclaim it? Some of our
former glories have departed, to be
sure, but there are others, both now
and to come. Tell strangers and Wis
itors the truth, that Plymouth is alive
and up-tO-date, and when you hear a
man, especially one of our own citi-
zens, say it is dead, make him eat his
words and acknowledge that he is
wrong.
We need and want more factories
every live town wants to grOw--but we
can't get them by letting the croakers
do all the talking. Down with the
croakers and up with the boosters is
my prescription, to be taken as long
as needed and i'm doses to suit the
case.

HITS THE PIPE AGAIN
The Independent Revives as Fresh News
I7-year-old Story.

The ridiculous antics of the queer
little man who prints part of the Ind
ependent have long since ceased to be
surprising or even amusing except as
an occasional gambol is little wilder
than the rest. Saturday he had a
story about the Three / railway COM
ing to Plymouth, on a line from Knox
to Toledo, and said that the engineers
had been here Friday and marked out
line through Plymouth. The chief
trouble about the story is that it is
about IL years old and was copied from
Republican of about that age, spec
les of theft that is not without prece-
dent in the Independent shop.
The railway in question owns a
line from South Bend to Streator, H.,
and leases a line from South Bend to
ST. Joseph, Mich. Its objective points
are supposed to best. Paul andDetroit,
the latter city to be reached by a
short line extension from South Bend
or ST. Joseph. At the present time
its attention is wholly occupied with
the new Spring Valley and Northern
line in Illinois and it has no visible in
terest in anv work at the eastern end.
The old Plymouth, Kankakee and Pa
cific proposition from Knox eastward
through Plymouth and Goshenis dead
beyond all hope of resuscitation. II
the Three / had wanted to get to De-
troit by the Plymouth line it would
not have abandoned the grading and
bridging it already possessed on that
line when it gave this city the marble
heart and struck off toward South
Bend.
! We wish it would build from Kno1
through Plymouth to Detroit, but
there is not at this time the slightest
evidence of such an intention.

CAUGHT ON THE RAIL


Sunday morning the north bound
train on the Vandalia caught Will
mon Stevick, deaf mute residing
near Dixon Lake, and mashed his left
foot so that amputation of all the
toes was necessary. Stevick, who is
about 20 years old, was walking north
on the track and did not bear the
alarm sounded from the approaching
engine. Just as the train reached
him, at point near the Franklin
house, he turned and in his frighten-
ed effort to escape he stumbled and
fell but did not clear the rail sufficient
to escape injury. The wounded man
was taken on the train and left at the
depot, where Doctors Holtzendorfi
and Asphalt gave him treatment, and
in the evening he was removed to his
home.

1t was a day of triumph IL The old

termined frown,
While brickbats and old scraps en-
livened the fray.
There was 'sDoc, the man of flowing
locks,
And Sam, of the Grecian mold,
And John, the man of hard hardware,
And John, the man of soft soft-ware,
And Fred. the man of tools.

valiant knights,
What think We are the rabble's rights
When we sit down and jar the town
And wither all with our regal frown:
We are distinctly and wholly it,
And while we're 'it' we'll be it
right
And lift this town from gloomy
night
To the blazing glory of eternal light,
From mud and gush and oozing

From splatter and dash and surging
rush
OF rivers of mud, to streets SO clean
That English sparrows hungry and
lean
Will leave the town,
And croakers, why just let them

With Clinton and PostOn we'll jam

And they did it, and they did il

BENEFITS OF INSURANCE
Letter From Aaron GreenawaIt Show
ing Results Of Union Central
Life Policy.

PLYMOUTH, Ind, July 16, 1901,
w. E. BAILEY,
DEAR SIR:-I can personally attest
to the fact that the company you have
represented so long in this vicinity,
The Union Central Life Insurance
Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, does all and
even more than they state in their
life rate endowment policies. l took
out policy with you for 81 900 on
the 10 annual payment life rate en-
dowment plan at age 40, agreeing to
pay them an annual premium for ID
years the same as you, or any other
responsible company, would have
charged me for like policy, payable
at my death with annual dividends.
/ selected to leave my dividends with
the company on the endowment life
rate plan and on the 3Oth of June,
this year, you handed me the COM
pany's check for 81, O22.1O in settle
ment for the policy as an endowment,
just 16 years from date of policy.
The revised rate book as you showed
me placed the time when this policy
would likely mature as an endow-
ment at Is years, hence / received it
in two years less time than estimated
in the contract and S22.10 more than
was promised i'm the contract. / am
certainly well pleased with the con-
tract l made with the company and
were | of insurable age would at once
take cut another policy on this popu-
lar plan of endowment life insurance.
| want to urge my friends who are in
surable to investigate this company
before giving their application for
insurance. The company will treat
you fairly and concede any accommo-
dation you may feel necessary to ask of
them. You may make any use of this
letter which may seem best for you
and the company, as it simply states
the facts as to my relations with the
corporation and yourself as their
agent.
| am very truly yours,

When the aged man tries to save youth

of that old fossil thinking that an up

is little smarter than the others, and
that he will succeed where others failed.

THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.
The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win. But the man who
takes chances with Nature is bound to
lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou
sands who are cut down annually in
life's prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form of disease, but to an attempt to
evade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man is
his stomach. 1t is in disease of the
stomach that many of the maladies
begin which carry off the busy men of
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about a tree. 1t throws out a tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man is snitten by
heart disease or lung disease; or sue
cumbs to some malady Of kidneys or
liver. The real seat of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of a cure is that the treatment
ignores the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms of disease
of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF
of the soundness of the proposition that
diseases of other organs remote from
the stomach which are caused by dis
ease of the stomach must be cured
through the stomach, and, in fact, cam
not be cured in any other way. The
best proof in the world is that Doctor
