Calvin Neiswanger who shot Albert
Wymer through the hand at the New
Years dance at Inwood, was bound
over to the circuit court Tuesday by
Justice Molter. The evidence Indi-
Gates that Neiswanger is pretty hard
case and shot to kill, but his plea will
no doubt be self defense.
The promoters of the Logansport &
LapOrte interurban system will have
the organization of the company per-
fected, the route surveyed and fran
chises secured through towns and
counties which the line will travel by
the first day of April, unless present
plans miscarry,
The order of Cleaners held their
regular meeting at Inwood Friday
night it being installation night for
the ensuing year after which they had
an oyster supper and general good
time. They received nine applica-
tions for membership which was the
partial cause for the good cheer.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Collins, who
came here with the remains of Mrs.
Hervey, have returned to their home
at Blissfield, Michigan. Mrs Collins
is the daughter of Hiram Hervey and
she and her husband grew up in Plym-
outh, were married here and have
scores of warm friends in this city.
Cornelius Vanderbilt has recovered
fran his recent dangerous illness, and
now it is expected his brothers and
sisters who went back on him on ac-
count of his marrying outside of his
station and made mp with him when
he was thought to be dying, will lapse
back into their old state of enmity.
State Treasurer Levy Monday sent
$500, 900 to Winslow, Lanier s. Co., of
New York. to be paid on state debt.
"A few months ago the debt was
reduced 81 ,OO0,O0O leaving a debt of
81, 7S7, 615.l2 Mr.. Levy says If the
republicans are IN power long enough
they will entirely wipe out the state
debt.
The total consumption OF tea in the
United Kingdom exceeds that Of all
the other European countries and the
United States put together. being $50
million pounds in 1900, or little more
than 6 pounds per capita for the peo-
pie Of Great Britain and Ireland. This
is nearly half the worlds marketed
crop.
So Bret Harte left an estate of only
81. 800! That announcement sounds
very queer when one considers the
popularity Of his works in the past and
the demand for the products Of a pen
that could draw scenes and people in
way that made the reader feel that
he would know them personally il he
ever met them.
Floods are causing great damage in
the eastern part of the state of WASH
ington. A great deal of property has
been destroyed, farm houses have
been swept away, localities are isolat-
ed, and great suffering prevails where
assistance of any sort is out of the
question. The melting of the snow
in the mountains is the primary cause
of the flood.
1t seems that Rev. L. A. Moench
has become very popular at Valparaiso
and all the members of the Catholic
church in that city are hoping and re-
questing that some other priest will
be appointed to ill Rev. A. B. Oech-
tering's place at Mishawaka. The
Valparaiso Messenger says Father
Moench is held in high esteem by the
community at large and all would re-
greet to see change.
The laws Of Indiana against grave
robbing are probably as severe as those
Of any other state, yet in view Of
recent events it is not unlikely that
the coming legislature may attempt
to strengthen them. The penalty for
desecratlng graves cannot be made
too severe, and it is right that Of
ficers and professors of medical col
leges who knowingly receive stolen
bodies should be made equally respon-
sible with the persons who dig into
the graves.
