DAY OF THANKS


Sumptuous feastS were spread in
nearly every Plymouth home Thanks
giving day and many joyous family re-
unions were held, absentees coming
from every direction to participate in
the bounties of the season. In this
city of plenty no home was so poor as
to suffer deprivation on this great day
of good cheer and charity sought in
vain for worthy objects of its bene-
faction.
At the Jail, where Newton May and
William Campbell are serving senten-
ces and are the only prisoners, they
were allowed to partake of the turkey
dinner prepared for the sheriff's family
and were made as happy as their en-
forced confinement would permit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kruger, of the county
infirmary, were guests of Casimire
Mickey in town for the day, but the
45 inmates of the infirmary were not
left without ample provision for big
dinner. Turkey and cranberries, pies,
pickles and jam, with all the usual
fixings and dainties, weighted the
tables and the public wards enjoyed
the generous cheer.
The orphan children at Brightside
had long been looking forward to
Thanksgiving with joyous anticipa-
ton and they were not disappointed.
A holiday was given in all depart
ments and after a bountiful feast of
chicken and cranberry sauce, vege-
tables and pumpkin pie the hordes of
youngsters were turned loose to enjoy
the glorious day at games in the open
air. Exercises appropriate to the &C.
casion were held Wednesday after
noon. There are 176 children in Mrs.
Works charge at this time.
The city churches united in union
service at the U. B. church and a
large congregation was in attendance.
Special music and suitable program
had been prepared. Rev. j. E. Hart
man, pastor of the Reformed church.
delivered thoughtful patriotic SER
mon full of encouraging truth and
hopeful Christian sentiment. Father
Yenn officiated at ST. Michael's church
and the children at st. Michael IS acade-
my were amply provided for, both in
soul and body. At the Reformed
church in the evening union prayer
service was held in preparation for the
revival work beginning Sunday.

NOVELTY NEWS
Piano Factory Lost But Others Already
in Sight.

The Thompson-Ea Eastman piano fac
tory will not come to this city to oc-
cupy the old Novelty plant and all
negotiations to that end are off.
They explain the situation by saying
that the people of Plymouth were
slow in raising the fund necessary to
buy the plant and that other arrange
ments were made. 1t seems, however,
that the concern dissolved after the
proposal to come here was made, some
of the members being engaged in
other business. Mr.. Eastman has
located in New Mexico, where he
went Immediately after the expira-
tion of the time fixed for the agree
ment to be accepted by our people and
when the necessary amount was not
yet secured.
The situation remains highly en-
couraging despite the disappointment
in this matter, and it may be con-
fidently stated that within sixty days
the vacant factory will be provided
with tenant. The subscribers to
the fund for the piano factory are
willing, probably without exception,
to leave it available in the hands of
the Business Mems association to be
used at proper time in their judg-
ment.
A representative of the Estey &
Camp piano company has visited this
city, inspected the plant and the mat
ter is now under advisement with bis
company. This institution, which is
one of the best known manufacturers
of musical instruments in the coun-
try, finds it necessary to enlarge its
capacity and if it can be secured for
this city it will be much better than
the one that has been dropped. The
agent who was here was delighted
with what he saw and said that every
thing was favorable.
In the meantime a member of the
SandOval manufacturing company,
now making agricultural implements
at Sandoval, Ill.,, was here this week
and after a thorough investigation of
the plant and the advantages of the
city he took short time option on
the property and deposited cash for
felt with the trustee. This option
has but a few days to run and if the
company does not luy the property
the money put up will be forfeited at
the end of that time; or they may
make an additional deposit and extend
the time. This is well established
company and is known to many people
here, its product having been long in
the market.

THEY PROMOTE TEMPERANCE
Rural Free Delivery of Mail Discourages
Business of Saloons.

CROWNPOINT, Ind, Dec. 3
There seems to be a great tenn
perance wave passing over the
northern section of Indiana, asthe
saloon men from all sections are
complaining of their slack bust
ness, saying. that their trade is
from 90 to Is per cent. less than
it was last year, and with every
day dropping Off. Their poor
business in this county, which
has more saloons than any other
county in the state-269 in all
according to population. is very
noticeable, as great majority
are adding short-order restaur-
ants, bowling alleys. etc., to

Horrible Railway Catastrophe.

Wednesday evening on the Wabash
railroad near Seneca, Mich, the east
bound limited running so miles an
hour crashed into west-bound pas
senger train also running at full speed,
the latter drawn by two engines. The
three locomotives were crushed into a
shapeless mass, three coaches, two of
them crowded with Italian immi-
grants, were reduced to splinters and
burned, and the explosion of one Of
boilers added to the horrors of the
scene. The full number of dead is
not known and perhaps never will be,
but it is supposed to exceed 50, most
ly Italians who were cremated in the
debris. Nearly hundred were injur-
ed, some of them fatally. The COLI
sion was due to a misunderstanding
of his orders by the engineer of the
limited.

draw trade.
The real cause is not exactly
known, but the theory IS that
the rural mail routes which are
being operated generally all
over the farming sections, is one
of the causes. This keeps the
farmers at home six days out of
a week, when before the rural
mail went into effect they came
to town every day "after the
mall" AS a general thing they
do not come to town now unless
they have to, as the carrier does
a greet deal of purchasing for
them.
