The Band Concert.

The concert and oyster supper given
by the Plymouth band at the opera
house Friday night was one of the
most enjoyable of the social occasions
of the season. A large number of
Plymouth people accepted the invita-
tion of the band boys to come out and
hear them play and partake of the
excellent oyster supper prepared by
the wives of the band boys, The
music rendered was good and reflected
much credit upon the members of the
band, which, under the leadership of
Mr.. Ben Seybold. has achieved such
efficiency. The band has not been
organized long. but its playing denotes
great care and rapid progress. The
drum solo by Mr.. Ben LinkeDhelt was
heartily applauded and he was repeat
edly encored. The band is valuable
acquisition to our town and is destined
20 be an important feature in the
social life of the city. Much credit is
due the friends who interested them
selves in the sale of tickets and help
ed to make the evening success.

plain envelope containing a check for

yesterday. Mr.. Rockefeller will find
it beside his breakfast plate tomorrow

more than his usual sparse, carefully

which acts for the oil trust, sent out
yesterday checks amounting to s10.-

stock this year is only As per cent, a
falling off of 3 per cent from the

items. We left our home near Argos,

arrived at our destination Nov. [, hav-

some good land and some poor land.
Illinois was the richest country We
passed through. Land ranged from
$50 to $3.50 per acre. They had good
corn crop this year but the land along
the Illinois river was awfully flooded;
nearly all their crops were gone. The
principal crop is corn. Kansas has
some good grazing land and there is
some timber along the creeks.
Most of the money is made by rails

pered by farming, raising wheat, kaf-
tir corn and cane. The kaffir corn and

Ohio Tax on Corporations.

The statement of Auditor Of State
Guilbert Of the collections under the
Ohio excise law. will certainly prove a
revelation and surprise to people not
familiar with the laws of Ohio and in
cidentally it may prompt Indiana to
action i'm the direction of improved
tax laws. Besides the payment Of the
taxes upon their tangible property in
each county and municipality of the
state at the local rate. the quas-public
corporations are required to pay one
per cent. Of their gross earnings into
the treasury Of the state. This form
of taxation has grown up in Ohio dur
ing the past ten years, and has the in
dorsement Of the leading students of
the taxation problem, affecting, as it
does, in great measure stoppage at

concealment otherwise escape taxa

shows that the quasi-public corpora
tions Of Ohio last year had gross earn
ings of s143, ,209, 1872, and paid into
the state treasury 81, 432, ,097.92 under

Not a Question Of Ships.

Some ingenious but ill-informed
journalists are printing pictures show
ing how much bigger than the whole
American navy are the combined
navies of Great Britain and Germany.
By inference we ought not to interfere
with German and British piracy in
American waters.
Facts have travelled ahead of this
kind of argument. The vital question
is not of power but provender. 1t is not
arSenalS but granarieS that menace
the world. The nation that controls
the food of the world governs the
world.
Great Britain imports s. per cent
of her food. Directly she gets nearly
half from us. Indirectly we control
her entire importation.
Great Britain can never again safely
indulge in protracted maratime war
against the opposition of the United
States.
Our patrol of the grain paths of the
oceans gives US the primacy alike in
peace and war if we have at the head
Of our government intellect and nerve
to use our situation wisely.

where would she get coal for her war

1t is not generally known that the

how great the contrast. The Michigan
town never got far in the race and
while Chicago sped ahead until it has
reached the place of the second city on
the continent with population Of
over 100000 souls, New Buffalo is

Feeling Of the Man Expelled from the A.

James Mitchell was the man who
was expelled from the Hibernian so
ciety. He said he worked during the
strike as repair man, and did not
consider it unfair" because he did
not mine any coal. He had been
member Of the society twenty-six or
twenty-eight years, and at a meeting
one night during the strike the Ques-
ton Of his 'unfairness" came up, and
the members present unanimously
voted to expel him. He had been pay
ing dues all these years and was in
good standing, but he added that he
was now glad he was out of 1t.
A Polander named Max Lasar, who
did not quit when the strike was in
augurated. told of how man threw
quart bottle of giant powder, to which
a lighted fuse was attached, into the
parlor of his home. He extinguished
the fuse. The powder was shown to
the commission. Eugene Deity, in no
way connected with the strike. said he
was mistaken for a n0n-union man at
night and so badly beaten that he was
laid up for two months.
Thomas Kennedy, aged Is years,
worked IN a drug store In Carbondale.

HE BELIEVED IN INSURANCE
Whayne's Estate Will Probably Foot Up
About Half q Million in Life
Policies.

Louisville. KY, Dec. 20.-Additional
insurance policies have been discov-
cred on the life of r. c. Whayne, who
was found dead with a bullet wound in
his chest Thursday night near his
home at Jacobs Park, suburb of
Louisville. The newly found policies
amount in all to an additional $780,

has been reached.
Already the total, including 100000
in accrued dividends due from the
Equitable Life Assurance society. has
reached S45o.000. This docs not in
clude two policies of $4,000 applied
for respectively with the Manhattan

If an effort is made to collect these

An Advanced Step in Finances.

Tie republican members of the
house committee on banking and cur
rency have taken an advanced step to
relieve the country from possible
monetary stringencies for period of
several years at least. They have
agreed on bill permitting national
banks to issue credit currency notes
equal to % per cent. of their capital
to oe redeemed In gold and to be safe
guarded by guarantee fund. AS an
additional measure Of precautlon the
bill requires banks to maintain re-
serve against the notes equal to the
reserve now held against deposits.
The existing law which prevents ma
tional banks from retiring more than
SO, 900, 900 ia any month is repealed
so far as the credit currency is con-
cerned.
The notes are to be redeemed over
the counter of the issuing bank and
New York, Chicago and SanFrancisco
are named as redemption cities. No
bank shall pay out the credit cur
rency notes of another bank located
outside of its own market, but shall
forward them to some bank in the
district to which the notes belong or
to some bank in the redemption city
of its own district, If all banks in
the national system should avail them
selves OF the privilege Of the bill the
total amount of currency that could
be issued under it would be Sl75, ,OOO,-
900.
