would like to have IN interurban line
pass through his farms and would
promptly favor tax Of 2 per cent.
as 1t would increase the value OF biz
land.
n. Altman said he was not afraid OF
the competition Of larger places. he
Invited all the competition that could
come. Plymouth merchants were
able to compete with the world. Mr..
Altman was loudly appIauded.
Mr.: James Delong was in favor OF
the line but was opposed TO a tax ol
subsidy; he wanted the road to be
built upon its own merits asa business
proposition. This county had been
"worsted" in voting . tax for the
Vandalia some years ago, and he
would eternally vote against tax in
aid of railroad. Mr.. O'Keefe replied
to one of the statements OF Mr.. Delo.
ney by saying that the railroads rum
ming through Marshall ty paid in
over one quarter of all the tax reven-
ues of the county. and this line. if
built, would be perpetually on the tax
assessment sheet.
Mr.. w. G. Hendricks and Mr.. Jos.
Swindell were not in favor of aItax
subsidy. They hold that the giving
Of right of way and the business that
the city would give to the road, was
sufficient compensation.
Messrs. NJ. Ryan, City Attorney
Lauer, n, Lauer jr. and others spoke
In favor of the road, and II 1t was Z
benefit to the city they were willing
for a tax In return
On motion standing vote was TAX
en-, which showed an almost unani.
nous expression In favor of the read,
but the question Of tax was not includ.
ed in the motion.
On motion a committee Of five To
be named by the chair, was appointed
to confer with the people along the
line Of the proposed route and get
their sentiments as to the building ol
the line.

As previously announced In the
Tribune . meeting of business men and
citizens was held in the court house
Thursday night to discuss plans and
hear propositions from the promoters
of the Indianapolis, Loganspors and
South Bend Traction company. The
meeting was largely attended and a.
it progressed . liberal degree Of inter-
est was manifested. DIR. Knott was
called to the chair. S. S. Perly, OF
South Bend; n. J. Crismond, of Lo-
gansport, Judge Swigart Of Logsnsport
and one or two other officers Of the
road, had come down from South
bend on the evening train to be pres.
ent. These gentlemen were called
upon to make statement of the
plans and purposes Of the company.
Mr.. Crismond said the history Of
interurban railways proved them to
be a benefit to the towns and coun-
try through which they passed. They
would increase the value OF farm
lands from 81 to $40 per acre. A fear
on the part OF some that the larger
cities Oh the route would get the
trade at the expense OF the smaller
ones was not we'll founded. The
smaller towns were helped as well as
the larger ones. Mr.. Crismond held
that the interurban road would bring
fifty people into town to the steam
railroads one. Every passenger stop
ping of would spend more or less mon-
ey in town, and such . road in reality
was of as much benefit IS Z factory.
The gentlemen said they were here
to get the pulse OF the people and
learn whether or not they wanted an
interurban line to ass through the
city. They were not mere to ask a
subsidy or tax at this time, but de-
sired to get an expression from the
people.
Mr.. O'Keefe was called for, who
said he was in favor of the road and
belie7ed it would be a benefit to the
lands through which it passed. BE

FORGOT TO
SEND DRAFT
GdttShdII KnOWnS Whu

For fifteen years and more draft
for S. has rested In secluSlon among
the papers OF the late Jacob Kriess at
Cardington, Ohio, and while 1t silent.
lay in the secret place Kansas farm
er watched and waited and could not
understand why the money be had
sent for did not come. Today the
draft was received in Goshen by At
torney S. B. Gattshall, brother to
the man for whose benefit 1t was orig
inally issued. Itshows lis age and its
age and its crumpled surface indicates
that 1t long ago was pushed down
among other papers and kept there.
1t il long stery and possesses the
tale OF Kansas disappointment and
the relentless fate that pursuaded
him after the drouth had carried
away his last hope in the sunfiower
state.
Wayne Gattshali had during 1884,
gone to Kansas to farm. The drought
''cleaned him up" Out in the prai-
ries he was surroundfd by his family
and nothing else. In every direction
as far as the eye could reach the sun
had withered all vegetation and all
vegetable life had died. Want
stared him in the face. His family
needed food. He wrote to Warsaw
to j. B. Gattshall his brother, and
asked him to send him $50 the COM
pliance was immediace. He wrote TO
Ohio to the aged mother and asked
her to to send him $50. The mother
gave Jacob Kriess the amount and he
Went to the First National bank at
Cardington, Ohio, and bought dsaft
of E. P. Hills. the cashier. But the
man in burned up Kansas received no
money. The assistance sent from
Warsaw never reached him and he
has never seen the draft issued at
Cardington. 1t is probable that Mr..
Gattshall felt in the same way that
any other man similarly troubled
would feel when be thought that he
had called in vein for help from those
In better circumstances.
In 1897 the aged Mrs. Gattshall
died and the childron came from their
homes in other states to attend her
funeral. Wayne Gattshall was among
them. j. B, Gattshall reached the
bedside before the mother died and
she wanted Wayne charged with $50
that she had advanced to him. J. B.
Gattshall was appointed to settle up
the estate. He spoke to Wayne about
$50 and the Kansas man insisted that
he had never received it. j. B. Gait
shall paid the amount out of his own
pocket.
Recently Jacob Kriess the neighbor,
who bought the draft. died. Among
his papers was found a draft issued by
the First National bank of Cardington
on the First National bank Of New
York City and payable to ]. w. Gait
shall. Jacob Kreiss had forgotten to
send the draft and today attorney ].
B. Gattshall got it.
The $50 sent from Warsaw by j. B.
was stolen by p~st office clerk, who
was sent to penitentiary for other
thefts. Wayne Gattshall was notified
recently of the discovery of the draft
and his happiness at the clearing up
of the matter is complete he says

Interesting Political Notes.

The contest for delegates to the Demo
cratic national convention C Jntinues close
and interesting. A bout one-half Of the
delegates have been chosen already, Of
whom 122 are instructed for Parker, 66 for
Hearst, 81 for Olney, 26 for Wall Of Wis
consin, and about 200 uninstructed. IL is
known how some of these viii vote, so
that ParSer's present strength is placed at
147, 10 l10 for Hearst. Hearst is making a
hard fight for Ohio and Illinois. 1t looked
yesterday a. though he would lose Ohio.
South Carolina chose Parker delegates last
week, indicating that the South will not
favor Hearst.
of the 926 delegates elected to the Re-
publican national convention up 10 last
week, 708 are under absolute instructions
for Roosevelt. Representative Hit Of IL
linois is now a favorite for second place.
Speaker Cannon has declined to be can

The Illinois Republican state conven-
ton, after ballOting IS times, failed to
name a candidate for governor and took a
recess to May 3lst.
The Republicans in Wisconsin split.
The LaFollette faction controlled the COM
mittee on credentials, and Unseated enough
OF their opponents TO give them a majori-

Baensch and Cook for governor, withdrew
and organized separately, nominating
Cook for governor. Senators Spooner and
Quarles espoused the cause of the anti
LaFOllettes. Gov. LaFollette was re-nom-
mated By his convention. The courts viii
