Are Supreme IN the Matter of Caring fos
Ditches Under New Law.

Under the new codifiC alton law
there is to be quite change 10 the
manner of caring TO- all the pub
public bitches and drains. At one
time 1T was the duty Of the county
surveyor to look after all drains. but
for some reason this was put In the
hands of the township trustees and
for a number of years these officials
have had this work to attend to in
addition tu their other regular duties
Under th =, new law in the codifica-
tion bill, the work is again place in
the hands of the surveyors. 1t will
be their duty to see that all drains
are kent IN good repair. They will
receive bids for the work of construc-
tion and cleaning ou5 of all bitches
anG all new work will be done through
them. 1t means whole lot Of extra
work for the surveyor, as at this time
the county is pretty well supplied

Plymouth Wins.

Saturday afternoon the P. II. S.
ball team defeated the w. Fl. S. team
at Warsaw by score of to 0. The
day was rather unfavOrable to the
lovers of the sport, but nevertheless a
nice little crowd witnessed good a
game and the fastest game of bal
ever played on tmeir diamond.
The game was full of interest from
start to finish. The first three inn.
ings were played in rapid succession,
each side failing TO hit the ball. In
the fourth Underwood came to the
bat and by a nice single took first and
then stole second. Carvey drove a
fast ball through second, making
first and scoring Underwood. From
the fourth to the seventh no score
were made. In the seventh Burkett,
Underwood, Mclaughlin, Lenhart,
Tanner and Knott added glory to
themselves by scoring. From this on
until the end of the game each side
picked up and lard down It's bats
without either scores or errors.
Harris, Notwithstanding the cold
day, pitched fine ball and had the
support of every man throughout the
game. Twice the opposing nine had
the bases full and no men out, but by
good headwOrk and fast pitching
Week" worked his way out without
permitting run. Knott, Parker
and Burkett played star games re-
spectively on first, second and third,
while the work of the outfield was
good. Underwood at short always
got in the way of the ball. and. in
fact, every man played his part well.
The team work displayed on the
field showed that both teams had un-
dergone stiff practice.
The P. H. s. team is increasing 10
pr, ficiency and next Saturday, April
p, expects to battle with Its old RI
val, Laporte. The game promises to
be one of the best of this season and
everybody is invited to go out and
root" for Plymouth.

BLOW tOR QUICK DIVORCE.
alin,s House Passes Bill to Delay the
Next Marriages.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April l2.-By
passing the divorce bill Yesterday the
Illinois house did It's share in making
1t more difficult to get out uf old mat
rimonial bonds and into new ones. II
the senate does as much, il will take
q year in all cases and in some cases
two years to 20 from divorce court Ia

No restriction has been placed on
the granting of divorces, but By de-
laying remarriage il is thought the
incentive to good many divorces
will be removed, and in any case there
will be time for prayerfull considera-
tion between casting off the old and
wedding the new.

to Head Panama Railroad.

Washington. April 12.-Coolie Ia
Dor will be employed on the Panama
Canal exclusively if the experiment
planned by the commission proves a
success. Executive committee decid
ed on this plan today, and as pre-
!iminary test will make contracts for
the employment Of 1000 japanese
and 1900 Chinese coolies. No opin-
inion has yet been had from the At
tornev General on the eight-hour
question, but the commission has sat-
isfied itself that thhre is no legel OBJ
Stacle to the employment Of this
coolie llbor under contract. This
conclusion is based on the theory
that the titular sovereignty over the
strip remains in Panama, over which
no American labor law can be held to
extend.
