Rev. liartin Luther Peter of Lapaz,
who declares that he has been
marked for assassination, has made a
personal appeal to Governor Hanly
for protection bcause he led in the
reform crusade at Lapaz and insisted
that the saloonists close their places
at IL o'clock at night. His house is
almost daily stoned by the saloon
cement, he says, and when he ap-
pears on the streets they make life
miserable for him with their gibes
and insults. The clergyman declares
he will not be driven from The COM
munity and there is fear of blc'odshed.
Mr.. Peter has fortified his house and
his friends declare they will guard
him until the governor acts.

WABASH FORFEITS GAME.
Plymouth Still Leads With a Clean
Record.

The plymouth High School Base
Ball team played the Wabash High
School team Saturday at the Fair
grounds. The boys were evenly
matched as ball players and the game
was interesting and exciting through
out Our boys made more errors
than they have been in the habit of
making but managed to come away
the victors. In the first four innings
neither side was able to score but in
the first half OF the fifth, Hess Of Wa
bash crossed the home plate Our
boys tied the score in the last half
of the sixth inning by scoring once.
But the Wabash boys brought in
another score in the seventh and also
one in the ninth Thus the score
stood } TO l at the beginning OF the
second half OF the ninth inning in fav-
or OF Wabash Then when every
thing looked against them, our boys
by one grand effort showed how they
could play ball The fans" went
wild Tanner was the first man UP
but he famed out. Then came Knott
who worked Chase for free transport
tation to first. Then Burllett UP and
succeeded in reaching first while
Knott stole to second. Underwood
also worked Chase for a free ride
to first With the bases full elongat-
ed Parker came TO bat and smashed
the ball to short stop who neatly
picked the ball up and nabbed Knott
at home plate with Parker safe at 1st.
Here's where the mix-up came in
which resulted in Wabash forfeiting
the game to Plymouth. Umpire Stew
ems called Knott out at home and
Parker safe a first. Wabash would
not abide by the latter decision and
refused to play. Umpire Stevens
told them that according to the rules
they would forfeit the game to
in favor of Plymouth if they quit but
~ tlC III
the meantime Burkett had stolen
home, Underwood to third base and
Parker to second, when the game en-
ded by Wabash quitting. The score
stood to in favor OF Wabash but
Plymouth had two men on bases with
two outs Plymouth also had for its
next two batters, Carvey and Harris,
two men who can hit the ball and
who would certainly have succeeded
in bringing in Underwood thus tying
the score and possibly got in Parker,
thus giving us tn game by to 3. AT
any rate we can say with certainty
that there would have been either the
above score or 10 inning game if
Wabash had not "babied out" The
Wabash boys cannot protest the
game because they did not finish it.
They should have went by the Um-
pire's decision and then if they wished
protested the game, but it is too late
now

MEMORY--
ALBERTUS G. CAPRON
BY DANIEL MCDONALD

In the natural course OF human
events death is the inevitable end of
created things. In the economy Of
human existence it seems to be as nee
essary to die as to be born, but when
an intellect as strong. and we'll ball
anced as that of Judge Capron is sud-
denly snufed out there appears to be
something wrong in the creative force
that built up and matured so strong
and interesting personality That a
being should be brought into this
world and grow from childhood TO
youth, and from youth to manhood,
and from manhood to old age, and de-
velop in intellectual strength and Wig
or. beyond the average OF mankind,
and then be taken away without warm
ing just when he had reached a point
where he could have been of still
greater service TO the people with
whom he had SO long associated is
beyond the ken of finite beings. But
how true it is that, thus wastes man;
today he brings forth the tender
leaves of hope; tomorrow blossoms
and bears his blushing honors thick
upon him; the next day comes frost
which nips the shoot, and when he
thinks his greatness is still aspiring he
falls, like autumn leaves, to enrich our
mother earth"
it is not my purpose to enter into
the details OF his life. They have al
ready been published 1t was my
good fortune to have been the person.
al friend of the deceased for more
than half Century in the early days
of his residence here, associating with
him as one OF the young men of the
town, singing with him in the musical
organizations of that time, playing
in the old Sax Horn Band, and in the
primitive orchestra that made music
for the entertainments of those long
by-gone days. And later after he had
studied law with his old time friend
Charley Reeve, and had made for
himself an enviable reputation as a
lawyer, and | had been elected Clerk
of the Court, for nine years while
acting in that capacity l had opportu-
rity to learn him thoroughly as ma
tured man intellectually and a lawyer
who was the peer of any of the bril-
liant array of legal talnt who COM
posed the Plymouth bar at that time.
During that period and for many
years previous, and afterwards, he
was engaged on one side or the other
of nearly all the important cases tried
in our courts, and in every instance
performed his duties with credit to
himself and satisfaction TO his clients
As an attorney he was painstaking,
careful and conscientious. He always
had his cases we'll in hand, and in his
presentation before the court and ju-.
ry was logical and persuasive. He
was never abusive, depending on the
final outcome of his case to the evil
dence as he was able to present it,
and to the calm judgment of the
judge and jury.
1t was, however, as judge of the
Marshall and Fulton Circuit Court
for twelve years that the. judicial

mind shown with peculiar splendor.
AS judge on the bench he was always
calm and deliberate, treating the
members of the bar, litigants and wit
nesses with courtesy and afibility
that made him friends with all with
whom he came in contact. AS a law
yer and judge he was incorruptible
He was no ''grafter" as that word is
now understood, and no taint rests
upon his memory in connection with
his dealings with the public.
He was we'll educated, studious
reader and profound thinker, al
though comparatively few outside of
his immediate friends were aware of
his fine literary ability. l came to
know him in this phase of his life
through Our connection with the "13
Club an organization which brought
out the best thought of its members
through its weekly meetings for a
period OF six or seven years. During
the life of that organization he pre-
pared papers on abstruse questions
that were of high order of literary
merit and were worthy OF being pre-
served in book form One of these
The Story of the Book of Job: A
Study" is before me as | write. His
theory was that the book of Job was
a poem, badly mutilated and mis-
translated as it now appears in the
Bible. The name and nationality Of
the original poem he believed the
world will never know, and the inter
nal evidence. we at this time have.
leads somewhat to the conclusion
that the work was originally the pro-
duction of one of Egypt's most
thoughtful writers. He says he got
his idea in the first place that the
work was not in the first instance
written by Jew from the historian
Josephus who neither mentions the
Book nor the name of Job in any of
his writings. Other papers he wrote
| call to mind are: I'm Search of a
Soul The Creation of a World"
Why People 60 to Church. "The
Story of His Native Village" and
The Financial Quest Although
all the papers above noted were wor-
thy of publication, his modesty would
not permit him to consent TO. give
them to the public. He was peculiar
in this respect, doing all this labor
ious work apparntly for his own sat-
isfaction and those of the few friends
who were privileged to read them. He
never sought public notoriety and was
always averse to having his name ap-
pear in the newspapers except where
some public end was to be served.
All in all he was we'll raatured,
intellectual, manly man, who under
all circumstances never allowed him
self to forget to be gentleman. He
had a pleasant word for all with
whom he came in contact, and went
in and out among Our people for more
than half century scattering SUM-
shine in his path wherever he went.
1T matters not, for go at night or
noon,
A friend whene'er he dies, has died
too soon"

John Welker Confronts a Charge of
Murder in First Degree.

Fl. Wayne, Ind, May 1.-THE po-
lice superintendent served a warrant
on John Welker yesterday afternoon,
charging him with wilfully killing his
sweetheart, Minnie Melching, and
soon after the sheriff called to remove
him from the hospital TO the jail He
made no comment when the warrant
was read, and, although it was the
first official knowledge of the death
of Miss Melching, it is believed that
he had already surmised the fact The
removal was postponed, Welker still
suffering from the knife thrust in his
throat, with symptoms of fever.

From the Chief of the Fire Depart.
ment.

The city of Plymouth after spend
ing more than $4,000 to secure ade-
quate fire protection cannot now af-
ford to weaken its fire department by
any experiment that will possibly les
sen its water supply or pressure when
any part of the city is endangered
by fire. The proposition of Mr.. Snoe-
berger seems hardly worthy of seri-
Gus consideration. 1t is asserted that
his plant does not now give the city
good lights and if he cannot produce
power to light the city properly, how
can he supply it with both water and
light? Plymouth has good protection
from fire under the present system
and the council cannot afford to de-
prive the city of that protection.

1t is useless to deny the accumu-
lation of these vast fortunes under
existing circumstances. Our system
of government, boundless opportuni-
ties, human greed and the machinery
of well managed monopolies have
united in bringing them together.
They are already in the hands of
their owners and cannot be dispersed
or dissipated through any available
means. The thing to be done is to
render them as harmless to the world
as possible by closing up the avenues
to further gain through the medium
of trusts and monopolies. Immense
wealth cannot be acquired by legiti-
mate dealing 1t must be ground out
of the public through the manipula-
ton of stock markets, control of Our
industries or combinations The
election to legislative Offices of men
absolutely free from sympathy with
the business methods of money-bar-
ons is essential to public welfare.
