Old Marshall County News.

When this county was organized In
1886, merchants, grocerymen, hotel
keepers and all retail dealers had to
have a license to do business. The
license fee was five dollars.
The first licensed hotel keeper was
John Compton, In 1886. In July Of
the same year, Charles Osterhaut was
authorized to keep tavern at his
place two miles south of Plymouth.
In January, 1887, Robert Beattie
took out license for the same purpose;
and at about the same time James
and William Owens were licensed to
keep tavern in Green township.
The first estate administered on was
that Of Mary Pattingale, Adam Vim
hedge was the administrator. He
was, we believe, an uncle CT Adam
Vinnedge, who died in this city re-
Gently.
The first white child born i'm the
county, was Cyrus Taber.
The first indictment in the county
was against Robert Reattie for selling
liquor without a license. He pleaded
guilty and was fined two dollars and
costs.
The first blacksmith in the county
was Uriah Metcalf.
The first newspaper, the Plymouth
Pilot, was published by John @.
Howell, in 1851, Mr.. Howell now
lives in Kewanna. He visits Plymouth
two or three times every year and is
a wonderfully well preserved man Of
his age.
The first county clerk was jeremiah
Muncy; Adam Vinnedge was the first
sheriff; William Durham, the first
auditor; John Houghton, the first
treasurer; Silas Morgan the first re-
corder; Daniel Roberts, the first sur
vey0r; John johnson, the first coroner,
and Grove Pomeroy was the first pro-
bate judge.
The first grist mill In the county
was at what was known as the "Old
Forge" about seven miles southwest
of Plymouth, where Zehner's mill was
afterward built.
The first located physician was DR..
Thomas Logan, who resided near the
present Wolf Creek mill.
The year 1850, has always been
known in Marshall county as the sick
ly season; seventy-eight deaths were
caused by flux and typhoid fever, dis
eases almost unknown ip this county
during the past twenty-five years.
Most of the deaths from typhoid fever
were in Plymouth and the central
part of the county. Most Of the deaths
caused by fiux were in the north part
of the county. When we recciiect
that this was 90 years ago and the
population Of the county was small
the number of deaths is remarkable.

Democracy and Judge Gray.

United States Circuit Judge George
Gray, of Delaware, is frequently men,
toned as good .emocratic presl-
Dental timber. His latest boom comes
from the anthracite regiJn of Penn
sylvania. where canvass shows, it is
said, that practically all of the demo
Gratis among the officials of the miners
union are heartily in favor of his
nomination.
So high does Judge Gray stand in
the estimation of his countrymen that
as presidential timber there will be
few to deny his good qualities. But
as for his being democratic presi-
Dental timber, that is another ques-
ton.
1t was Judge Gray-then United
States Senator Gray-who at the dem
ocratic convention of 1896, when free
silver became paramount, was one
Of that issues most bitter opponents.
His active alliance in the campaign
that followed was given To Palmer, as
one can learn almost any week in The
COmmoner.
1t was also Judge Gray, who was
member of the Paris peace commits
sion in 1895, and who thereby helped
launch the United States into an era
of expansion. One needs no further
facts TO prove what his attitude must
have been toward the paramount"
issue of the Kansas City platform of
190O.-Record Herald.

Crawford Fairbanks, the well-known
Terre Haute capitalist and brewer,
has just returned from New York.
While mlngling- with the money

became profoundly impressed with the
idea that Grover Cleveland is the
available man for the presidency, in
opposition to Roosevelt. Wall streets
attitude on that question is by this
time pretty clearly defined.

like to see somebody try to show it.

OF late years not only the Chicago
papers but ether metropolitan sheets
have fallen into the idea that what
the public wants is foolishness. The
New York Sun, the New York Times,
the indianapolis Journal and the In

tions to this fault. These papers have
the good sense noe to inflict the COL

Uphold the Law.

The law must be upheld no matter

Namby- pamby business should be re-
legated to the rear in this country.
The indianapolis Journal touches the
pith of the subject when it says:
I'VE are drifting into a very danger
Gus notion that any particular crowd
of men, possessing strength either
through numbers or wealth, may with
impunity set themselves up as superior
TO the law. 1t is time that we. as a.
people, should bring ourselves up
standing and think on these things.
The laws are our laws all the time.
not our laws when we like them and
the other fellow IS laws when we don It.
If enough of us do not like them
there is an orderly and regular way
for changing them. But while they
are laws they must be enforced. not
in few places, but in all places,
not against some that come in
conflict with them. but against all
that violate them; not in halting,
hesitating, quibbling fashion, but
promptly, sternly, relentlesSly. by
men who are blind TO rything but
grim, cold, passionlesS justice. Friend
or foe, weak or strong, if he violate
the law, let him suffer the full penal
ty imposed by the law, with deliber-
ate, answering action OF the whole
machinery of justice. 1t is only thus
that respect for the law because 1t is

tanned, and without such respect for
the law-which is but the orderly ex-
preston of the popular will-no man

tionary times. and Mr.. Frohman has
made them unusually handsome stage
pictures. Mr.. Faversham will have a
strong supporting company. The story

Messrs. Conroy and Mack and their
company produced a play entitled

this title was not revealed during the

this same name, based on an entirely

most of the rather meagre- audience

drawn situations, apparently injected
into the play merely that the curtain
might fall on "thrill. !" Mr.. Mack

in contrast with hisSprevious crimes,
his offences were comparatively mild.

and an oppressor of weak womanhood.

GREAT YEARS BUSINESS.

The foreign commerce Of the United
States will be. in the year about TO
end. the lar yest in the history Of the
country. Imports exceed a billion dol
lars. and exports will be larger than
in any preceding year except 1901 The
eleven months figures, which justify

OF the period ending with May were
S943 597. 1e4, and the exports 81. 1924. 493. 2S3.
For the twelve months ending with
May the imports are S1.O16. 12.24s, and
the exports, s1,413. 7SS. 40. The largest
imports in any earlier fiscal year were

months ending with May were s1,324,-
80, 293 and the smallest exports of any
month in the year were eighty-eight
