Plymouth Methodis1n.

The Methodist church in this city
has made much progress in the last
three years The membership of the
church has increased from 275 to 400.
The Sunday school has increased
from 200 to 400 enrolment. The
church and Sunda school are the
largest in Marshall county. Organi-
zation is the secret of the success Of
this church and Sunday school
The official board has been reor-
ganized and is now composed of 25
wide-a-wake men and women. This
church is on cash basis this year
The pastor is paid in full every week.
and all bills are paid on demand. The
new four thousand dollar parsonage
which was bought two years ago, is a
credit to any congregation. The time
is near when the Methodists will build
new $4,000 church in this city.
The Methodist church is people
church and this is one reason why
every body likes this church. We
congratulate the Methodists of this
city and wish them Godspeed.

Educating the Public.

Merchants of Laingsburg, Mich,
are educating the public in way that
might be adopted, with beneficial re-
suits by those of other towns. They
have joined in the publication and dis
tribution of card containing a small
advertisement of each, information
about the religious, commercial and
financial interests of the town, and
the following ten reasons why the
people of the community should
trade at home.
Because: You examine your pur-
Ease and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective ar
ticle purchased of him,
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask credit, you can go to the local
merchant Could you ask it of mail
order house?
Because: If merchant is willing
to extend your credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market, thus
increasing both the value of city and
country property.
Because: The mail order merchan,
does not tighten your tax or in any
way help the value OF your property
Because: The Mail order mercha n
does nothing for the benefit of mar
kets or real estate values.
Because: If your town is gooc
enough to- live in it is good enough
to spend your money in.-Governol
Folk, of Missouri
Because:The best citizens in your
community patronize home Industry
Why not be one of the best titizensl
Because: If you will give youl
home merchants an opportunity tc
compete by bringing your order to
him in the quantities you buy out o.
town, he will demonstrate that, guam
tity considered, he will save yot
money.

Some Cynicisms.

Poets are born, not made, and so
far there doesn't seem to be any rem
edy for it.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again-if the politicians will get off
and give it chance.
There are lots of deeply religious
trust magnates-after business hours.
Christianity was carried round the
world on a bayonet point; alcohol fol-
lowed it under the flag.
Ambition is the bent pin in the
chair of Progress.
If a widow can't be young and pref
ty she might just as we'll not be a
widow at all.
No woman ever bushes until she
puts on long skirts.
True, cat may look at King and
get stuck up about it; it takes four
aces to give man the same feeling
of elation.
Woman will weep her eyes out
over one mans Inconsistency, then put
powder on her nose to get ready for
the next.

Compromised for 50, 500.

The city of Columbus has compro-
missed the$10,0O0 damage suit brought
by Lewis Aiken, administrators of the
estate of John Weed, who was killed
by live wire on the night of Decem-
Der "a, 1904. After the suit was filed
the city contended that municipality
could not be held liable for damages
as it was maintaining an electric light
for the good of the people, and was
thus exercising a governmental func-
ton. Judge Hacker sustained this
contention, and it went to the Appel
ate Court on demurrer. From that
court it was transferred to the SUI
preme Court, which sent the COM
plant back to be amended. Technc.
ally the Supreme Court upheld Judge
Hacker, but at the same time ruled
that the city could be held liable on a
statement of facts. Tie city then con-
concluded to compromise for the
amount stated. Recently the city
compromised another claim by paying
s4oo, and it is now fighting $4,000
judgment rendered against it by the
Appellate Court.

Some Weather Sipns.

A farmer remarked the other day
that he did not take much stock in
weather signs, but there was one
sign, however, that he had watched
for years and never saw it fail. eff
rains fall on Monday you can depend
on it that rain will fall on three days
of that week and if rain happens to
falls on Sunday and Monday rainy
week is ahead for rain will fall every
day of that week." he said He re-
marked that he had often watched
the sign and was about to give up
its virtue but rain always fell there
or within a radius of few miles if
it was but few drops.

1t was announced by the agricultur-
al department Tuesday that the green
bug, or spring grain aphis, which has
done so much damage to wheat and
other small grains in Texas, Oklaho-
ma and in few of the southern coun-
ties off Kansas, already is practically
exterminated by its natural parasite,
a very minute black fly. In Texas and
Oklahoma the bug practically has dis
appeared through the action OF the
parasite and a report from southern
Kansas received by the department
Tuesday stated that at least so per
cent. OF the bugs now are parasltized
in all the infested fields in that sec
ton. The report adds that if the ia
vorable weather continues through
the present week the bug will have
been absolutely exterminated.
Millions of parasites" continues
the report, "are coming out in every
wheat field, and the gree bug has
been overtaken and controlled by its
natural enemy, and there seems to
be little, if any, fear of further dam
age"
The bureau of entomology, of the
agricultural department, has aided the
work by sending hundreds of thous-
ands of the parasites from Oklahoma
and Texas into Kansas Three agents
of the bureau now are in the field di-
recting the onslaught on the bug. The
weather conditions this spring have
been favorable to the multiplication
of the bug, which becomes serious
pest only under such conditions. The
parasites, too, multiply only under
favorable weather conditions, but
they soon exterminate their enemy.
"The green bug was noticed first in
this country in 1884 While more or
less common every year the condi-
tions which favor its destructive
abundance only occur at comparative
ly long intervals 1t caused great
damage in 1890 and again in 1900, ten
years later, and a third outbreak is
now coming to close. Every year,
however, a few of the bugs are pres
ent in wheat fields, especially in the
southern wheat districts, but not suf-
icent to cause damage.

Bell Offer TO Sell.

Indianapolis. May 15.-The Inde-
pendent telephone interests of the
state today heard in detail the plan of
the Bell interests to consolidate Indi-
ana exchanges. At the meeting of
the Independent Telephone Associ-
alton today an exact offer was made
to purchase the plants for the first
time; namely, thai the Bell would
abandon its exchanges where they
were losing money and connect with
the Independents for long distance
business; that it sell its exchanges
where they are making money at the
value of all such local plants as in
vestments and retain long distance
connection. The proposition does not
contemplate these companies quitting
connection with the Independent long
distance companies. 1t is believed
the proposition will be accepted. If
It is not, the local company may
carry out deals with the Bell interests
at the risk of being ousted from the
movement

KANSAS EAGLES LOSE BOOZE
Like Real River of Rum.

Topeka, Kas., May 16.-A private
car stocked with liuors, taken to lola
by the Leavenworth delegation to the
state convention of the fraternal or
der of the Eagles, was raided late last
night by the county attorney and
sheriff while the delegates were max
ing merry in the Sante Fe yards.
President Hunt of the state organi-
zation was in the car, but was not ar
rested. Eight of the Leavenworth
delegates, all prominent in business
circles, were arrested, charged with
violation of the nuisance clause of the
prohibitory law Five of the men ar
rested are ]. A. Braun, S. Heale, ].

Justice court this morning and releas-
ed under $500 bond to appear for trial
in the District court.
lola was a wide open town until
the recent crusade of the attorney
general began, and the Eagles ran a
bar for the members of the order in
a clubroom. The club was raided two
weeks ago, however, the steward ar
rested, and a permanent injunction
issued by the District court restrain
ing the further drinking of intoxicat-
ing liquor in the building.
The town thus being made entirely
"dry," the delegates provided refresh
ments for the convention by taking

This was the car raided. The liquors
were not being sold. but given away
to members of the order.
The county attorney and sheriff
confscated all the beer and liquor
found in the car and will destroy it.
The Eagles are making preparations
to contest the case on the ground
that the delegates had it only for
their own use The county attorney
will rely on the nuisance provision OF
the prohibitory law as we'll as the
statute prohibiting the giving away OF
intoxicating liquor Similar cases
are beng started in other cities under

cases of whisky. several hundred
cases of beer, and a large quantity OF
gin into the street. where the liquor
could find its way into the sewers.
Hundreds of men and boys, and
dozens of women gathered in front
of the court house and awaited the
first signs of destruction. Negroes
and whites alike carried cups or bot
ties, and it was with the utmost diff
Guilty that the sheriff and his deputies
prevented a general .debauch- As it
was, many succeeded in drinking
large quantities of whisky Several
were taken home by friends in state
of intoxication.
1t is estimated that fully $1,000
worth of liquor was poured into the

necessary for the sheriff to convey
the goods to the court house yard be-
fore emptying the cases.

Rights of Rural Mail Carriers.

We have had great many ques-
tions asked us relative to the rights
of the rural mail carriers to the roads.
This question has been one that
seems hard to get before our readers
in such a manner that it is plain. We
quote what the Rural Free Delivery
News says:
The Postmaster General has issued
an order or notice that all mail car
riers have the right of way on all the
country roads, and that all other car
riages or conveyances must surrender
that right of way to the rural car
riers. That was the rule when the
mails were carried in four-horse stage
coaches, and everyone had to get out
of the way when the mail coach came
along. 1t is a very serious matter for
anyone to obstruct the rapid trans
portation of the United States mails.
Get out of the road when the rural
free delivery carrier comes along
with Uncle Sans mail!

Deserves Commentator.

Judge Dodge, of the Elkhart Cir
cult court, is to be commended for
his ruling holding parents responsible
for the good behavior of their chilli
rem. 1t is the plain duty of parents
to train their children in correct ways
OF living, and if they fail to do so
they should be held responsible for
their neglect. Discipline along this
line would have a wholesome effect
on people who take no interest in
their children and permit them to
grow up without teaching them the
duties and responsibilities of life
