The surveying party sent out by the
Three Railroad company were in
Plymouth Friday taking the pre-
liminary steps in the way of construct
ing branch of the Three | railroad
from Knox to Plymouth and thence to
Bremen, Goshen and Toledo. The
road will pass through the fair grounds
north of Plymouth and cross the Van
dalia tracks near the pickle factory
The company proposes to make Plym-
outh the division point, as it is about
the half way place between Toledo and
the western terminal.
The Three | road has long noted the
advantage of having the shortest possi-
BILE route from Iowa, Illinois and the
west to the eastern cities and they de.
sire a route by which they can evade
passing through Chicago, where there
is great expense in transferring stock
billed for the eastern states. From the
information at hand, 1t seems that the
project is settled so far as the railway
company is concerned and that opera
lions will be commenced in the near
| future

Very Cheap Rate to Colorado.

On special days this summer the rates
for round trip tickets over the Bur
iington route from Chicago, Peoria and
St Louis to Colorado Will be more than
cut in half, and on other days about
half rates will apply. Then, since we
put our fast trains on, it takes OILY one
night on the road to get there.
We are dong everything possible
this year TO make it convenient and not
too expensive for people of moderate
means to spend their vacation in the
Colorado mountains. There is no
country in the world like Colorado for
invalIds and others in search of rest
and pleasure The pure, dry climate
has the most astonishing permanent
effect on the health and spirits Of Wis
itors, and especially is this so in the
case of those from that part Of the
country near to the level of the see.
Write today, inclosing &c in postage
for our beautifully illustrated book on
Colorado, and with it, if requested,
will send also our handbook of the
state, giving information about the
different places, hotels. ranches, etc,
and the prices charged for board. p

News is more than sensible men here
can understand. In the first place the
editorial was falsehood from beginning
to end Plym nth is at present in
splendid condition. Many who went to
south Bend and Elkhart have returned
and more contemplate returning. Our
factories are all running with good
forces. 1t is impossible TO secure sufii-
cient men to meet the demands. From
fifty to hundred men can get employ
ment on the railroad right now, the
city wants men to help pave our streets,
and the farmers lind il impossible to
get sufficient number of labOreTs TO
harvest their grain.
1t the fool killer is in search of vic
tim, IT is hoped that he will get around
TO Plymouth and take the editor of the
Plymouth News. He is ripe victim.

Thinks There Is Trouble I'm Plymouth.
Here is an instance that goes to show
what evil effects can come from a
newspaper that sdvertises a town down
instead of up. The Goshen Democrat
says:
ain long editorial the editor of the
Plymouth News tries to solve the ques
ton of what is the matter with the
commercial Industries of that town and
the present stsgnation of business
there. The News goes into history and
shows that several years ago Plymouth
was q trading center and the merchants
all prospered. Now everything is dead.
The News man wants more factories
and thinks 1t well TO revive the indus
tries there that are now idle. The Demo
crst does not pretend to know what
sils Plymouth, but the report seems to
be general heresbouts that South Bend
has partially depOpulated the place.
And yet 1t has been but q short time
since Goshen manufacturing concern
was considering q proposition to go to
this dead town because 1t could not ex
tend its plant here"
What In the world could possess any
Newspaper editor to send out such re-
port % did the editor Of the plymouth

Postofhce Sign Out.

The postofiice of Plymouth has the
sign "postoflice" conspicuously dis
played at its street entrance, thus obey
ing the letter of the law, which pro-
vldes that every government institution
OF that sort must be advertised. But
there are other places in Marshall
county, where Uncle Sans mail Is dis
tributed, that are not labeled. Ii is IN
derstood that parties are making the
state for the purpose of prosecuting
postmasters for this sin of omission
Take warning, therefore, postmastersr
and hang out your sign. Even though
you be not prosecuted, it is only justice
to the travelling public to inform them
of your whereabouts.

To California Through Colorado.

BY ell means the most interesting
way to reach California is via Denver
and Salt Lake City. We have selected
that route for our personally conducted
twice week excursions, planning the
train schedule so that all the mag
nificent Colorado mountain scenery is
passed by daylight. These excursion
parties travel in Pullman tourist
sleeping care, which are thoroughly
comfortable, contain every convenience
and cost much less than the ordinary
Pullman sleeper. The rate for berth
holding two, from either Chicago or
st. Louis, to California is only $500.
Kindly write for particulars. InclOse
six cents in postage for our beautiful
seventy-two page book on California,
full of illustrations.

viii Meet in September to Fix the Tax
Levie-.
The trustees and advisory boards OF
the various townships OF Marshall
county have been at sea for some time
in relation TO the meetings which the
boards are called upon TO hold IN &C
cordance with the statutes since the
act of 1899 provides one date of meet
ing for the annual session and the act
of 1901 seems TO conflict in that it pro-
vides a different date without repeal
ing the section STIMULATING the time i'll
the old law. The new law stipulates
that the ANIMAL meeting shall be held
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday In January of each year, bu;
does not change that portion of the
law of 1899 with reference to the fixing
If the tax levies on the first Tuesday
in September. There was a question
as to whether it would be necessary to
make two settlements and
also two publications of the township
business, one in September and an
other In January, but the law inter
preted to mean, according to advices
received from the state authorities by
\ uditor Dorsn, that the township sd-
visory boards must meet IN regular
session on the first Tuesday in sep
TENDER for the purpose of fixing the
levies for the year, and that previous
to that time the trustees must give
notice by publication in two newspsp-
ers of general circulation of the ex-
penditures and tax levies for the year
La accordance with the new law the
township advisory boards must slso
meet IN annual session on the fret
Tuesday after the frat Monday in
January for the annual settlement
with the trustees. at which time the
trustees must make publication of
their reports as provided for by law.

Other Streets Need Paving.

Already several proposed petitions
are being formulated for the paving of
other streets besides Michigan and La
porte. II is understood that the resi-
dents along Plumb street are restless
for the sound of carriage wheels rat
thing over brick. They are agitsting
the inevitable petition very strongly.
The residents slong jefferson street
have assumed, as q matter of course,
that theirs will be the next paved thor
oughfare leading from Michigan street,
but it is probable that they may be dis
appointed The Madison street citi-
zens propose to gain the traffic and
polite travel which hitherto has been
monopolized by Jefferson street; and
this, they say, could be done by speedily
putting in pavement to connect with

The Nicely case has reached the
stage where Washington officials
have "grave doubts" as to whether
he can be convicted or not. 1t may
be that there was a desire on the
part of some of the government
officials to convict Nicely, but the
fact is the case was managed in
such an Indifferent and half hearted
way that the public felt all the time
that the fellow would eventually be
given his freedom without the in.
fiction of any penalty more thar

ment have been.

TALKED TO TOWN.
Young Man and His Sweetheart Walked
Home.


One of PlymOuth's prominent young
clerks, took his sweetheart out for g
drive last week, and they were very
unluckey in having TO walk about four
miles of the way home. 1t seems that
the young man was not giving his
horse the required attention and had
dropped the lines into the bottom OF
the carriage, when the horse became
frightened and ran away, spilling them
along the road. Neither one was
injured, but both were very badly
frightened. 1t was only about -four
miles to town and they concluded tC
walk rather than have anyone know
the circumstances. 1t will probably
learn the young gentleman to use one
hand to drive with at least.
