STRANGE INDEED.

At the council meeting last
evening. after the clerk had finish
ed reading the report of the mass
meeting held in the city hall Mon
day evening, July Is, Council
man Buck introduced the follow
ing resolution
Resolved that it is the sense OF
the members of the Common
Council of the City of Plymouth,
Indiana, that the City ought not
to grant the proposed new fran
chise to c. ID. Snoeberger, his as
sociates, successors and asslgnes
or enter into the new propoed
contract with said Snoeberger or
with any other person or persons,
and that the consideration OF said
matters ought to be and are here
by postponed for period OF at
least eighteen months from this
date.
Plymouth, Ind, July 2a, 1907
Councilman Buck moved the
adoption of the resolution, which
was seconded by Councilman Nc
Gov. On roll call Councilmen
Tanner and Ness voted mo- and
Buck and Mccoy voted yes.
Deeds was absent and there be-
ing a tie Mayor Logan voted
mo-" In explaining his vote Mr..
Tanner said his reason for voting
against the resolution was, that
the council should not be tied
down by any resolution, for that
length of time. The mayor in
explaining his vote said his reas-
on for voting against the resolu-
ton was because there was mo
question" before the council. The
wonder now is why he did not
call Mr.. Bucks attention to it
when it was introduced instead OF
putting it to a vote. Strange there
was mo question before the
council isn't it, when this fran
chic question has been before this
council for three or four months,
and the people were called upon
to express their sentiments" in
a mass meeting, yet there was mo
question" before the council.

laps Shot by Angry Coreans.

Maddered by the enforced abb
dication of the emperor, the Co
reans rose in revolt against the
Japanese Friday.
Corean soldiers who refused to
obey their officers led the mob in
the attack, and rioting took place
IN all parts of the city of Seoul.
The police admit that twenty
FIVE Japanese were killed or
wounded.
The number of casualties
among the Coreans is unknown.
General Hasegawa, commander
of the Japanese Imperial guards,
has been placed in charge of the
city. Military law has been estab-
lished.
Soldiers are guarding the for
eign legations and consulates and
patrolling the streets.
The mobs which swept the city
formed Wednesday night when it
became known that the emperor
was about to give up his throne.
During the night crowd of
5000 angry, excited Coreans sur
rounded the palace. 1t charged
the palace gates and a second
time it was driven back.
Then number of students at
tempted to present a petition to
the emperor, but the police pre-
vented them from doing so, driv-
ing them back east of the palace,
where they remained all night
making speeches and melting the
people to violence.
At midnight the outlook be-
came so threatening that Chief of
Police Maruyama distributed car
bines to the police. The crowds
in the streets increased in size
during the night, but up to day
light there was no disorder.

Farmers Made a Mistake.

Practically complete reports to
Miss Mary A. Stubs, chief of the
Indiana bureau of statistics shows
that the farmers made a bad mis-
take this year In spite of the
fact this is going to be bad year
for wheat, the records, just COM
,iled. show that the wheat acre
age this year is about 100000
acres greater than that of 1906.
condition that would not have OBJ
tanned had the farmers been able.
% see into the future. The acre
age this year will be close to q
396,501 acres, as compared with
2.105,197 last year, showing the
increased indicated.
The corn acreage is almost ex-
actly the same according to these
returns. the figures for 1906 and
1907 being 4, 020.223 and 4,023,1i1
respectively. The oats acreage is
little less this year. 1,703 500
acres as compared with 1887, l03.
These figures are not absolutely
accurate, for % of the 1000 odd
townships have not reported.
Taking, however. the acreage OF
these crops for last year on these
% townships the 1907 totals are
as given above. Miss Stubs says
that the above totals are very
close to correctness.
In this early report there is no
estimate of the number of bushels
of any of these crops-nothing
but the acreage. Judging. how
ever, from unofficial reports. the
wheat crop falls below last years
crop; the corn will be practically
the same. and the oats practically
the same. No figures are avail,
able on these Yields. however. nor
no official estimates at the office.

County Officials Petition.

Many county officials through
out the state, laboring under the
impression that the State Board
|of Tax Commissioners, at its real
estate session to begin next week,
intends to equalize taxes on real
estate and personal property to
the extent of about 10 per cent
over the assessment of four years
ago, made showing to the board
that the assessments in their sew
eral counties had already been
raised Is per cent. This was done
in order to prevent the proposed
raise by the State Board.
Owing to this action on the
part of county officials it will be
necessary for the State Board to
GO over many of the abstracts Of
assessments sent in by the county
officials.
None of the members of the
State Board will discuss the pro-
posed increase of Is per cent. but
it is stated upon reliable authority
that the increase will very likely
be made.
The assessment of 1908 was
made on different basis from
that of this year, many county
authorities at that time not in
Guiding in their lists the unplat-
ted land in the cities and towns.
1t will be necessary for the board
TO change the sheets of 1907 SO
that they will compare with those
of 1908 in each county Then a
comparison will be fair and the
State Board will be able to arrive
at a proper equalization.

Battle for Life with Catalogues.


War has been declared on the
great catalogue houses of Chica-
go and other cities by the 100000
retail merchant of the West. In
one of the most striking economic
movements this country has
knowriy the small dealers are
fighting, as they say, for their
lives.
The mammoth institutions, en-
.ploying thousands OF workers,
doing their business entirely
through the medium of their bull
ky catalogues, spending no mon
ey in the communities whence
they derive annually millions OF
dollars of patronage are forcing
increasing numbers of home mer-
chants to the wall and, so their
opponents claim, are making
commercial graveyards of once
prosperous towns.
In this life or death struggle,
iobbers and manufacturers also
are involved with the retail mer-
chants.
An organized attack on the cat
alogue institutions is to be made
by the Home Trade League of
America. which as existed for
several months in the Monadnock
building. in Chicago, largely as
a publicity bureau, but which is
shortly to be Incorporated and IN
stitute more systematic and -ag-
gressive campaign against the
catalogue houses through board
Of twenty-one managers, with a
vice president and an advisory
committee of ten members from
leach state.
The backbone of the league is
formed of commercial associa-
tons, national, state, and local in
character, in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Michigan, Kansas, and
Minnesota. The officers of asso-
Citations in scores of cities are IN
constant correspondence with the
league, which will continue to
have its national headquarters in
Chicago. Officers of the league
will be selected from the most ag-
gressive of the leaders OF these
associations of business men.

Thread is to Cost Ten Cents.

Cotton thread, until short
time ago the most stable in price
of all the staples, selling the coun-
try over for cents spool, is to
be advanced again. SO that the re-
tail price will be 10 cents. On
May 20 there was an advance
which brought the market price
to 6 and Z cents. Cotton thread
for domestic use is manufactured
almost exclusively by the COM
bnie. Increased cost of raw ma
terial and an advance in wages is
the reason given for the contem-
plated increase in price. Indepen-
dent manufacturers declare that
neither of the reasons is good.
for when cotton was selling much
higher than it is now thread re-
tailed for cents.

Japanese Ships are Seized.

The State Department has been
informed that the revenue cutter
Manning, on July 5, seized two
Japanese fishing schooners, the
Nitto Maru and the Kahno, near
the seal island of St. Paul. Both
of the vessels were equipped for
sealing and there were fresh seal
skins in the small boats. The
crews were conveyed to Ungi,
where they will be tried on the
charge of violating the sealing
regulations. As the case appears
to be an ordinary one of poaching
it is not expected any diplomatic
incident will result.

The license fee at Plymouth is

Horrors! Women Soon Are to
Have Boards.

The co-eds at the University of
Chicago Friday were thrown into
fits of anger, paroNysms of grief
and bitter disappointment when
Prof. Samuel w. Walston, head
of the department of paleontolo-
gy, made the sensational, not to
say startling, astounding and
amazing statement that hair
would soon grow on the faces of
women
Say, but won't John ID. be mad
when he hears that?
'"The day will come when you
will not only have moustachcs,
but you will have full boards. y
declared the professor, who has
won a national reputation as a
scholar. He was addressing a
class of co-eds.
Horrors y whispered one.

SAID another. always liked Van
Dyck boards"
'Im going to part mine in the
center" ventrred a third.
Everything is tending toward
boards for women continued the
professor. "You girls have more
hair on your face than the girls
of decade ago. Those who fol-
low will have more than YOU, I'M
til the dav will come when YOU
will have long. flowing boards like
the pictures of Noah ard Senator
PETER of Kansas"
"When will that be?' queried
one of the timid ones.
Oh. few centuries from now"
answered the professor.

Wife Mustn't Be Too Clever.

Authorities say that men never
forgive wives and sweethearts
who surpass hem in cleverness,
that is. if they are aware of their
disadvantage, and knowing that.
|some clever women learn how to
efface themselves by pushing
men forward and SO keep peace
and harmony in the family.
We all know cases where men
have turned fire. m exceedingly
clever, pretty wives to find salve
for their vanity in the alteration
of empty-pated women. There is
a natural repugnance among men
to occupying second place any
where, and unless man is de-
ceived into a belief that his fem
linine kin shine only by reflection
he is not satisfied.
Cleverness is desirable, oh, yes,
very desirable, but it can work
lot of mischief. Many woman
of keen brain and loving heart
has been the power that propelled
her husband to fame and got no
credit for it. The knowledge of
her power is generally sufficient
to satisfy such a woman. Surface
| cleverness we see in abundance,
but it bears so little resemblance
to the real thing as to deceive
none but the stupid. Even hus-
bands see through these shams.
Sometimes there is trouble
when both husband and wife are
unusually gifted, but that results
from professional jealousy, how
ever. Few men like to be consid-
cred merely as husbands of clever
