has Its origin in some early history
OF the town, and was directly result
ant from fire which destroyed the
landmarks.
In the year 1860, lot OF the orig
NAL plat, which embraces these three
lots IN question was owned by man
named Cogle. He had purchased the
lot from a predecessor who had own
ed the original section, and divided
1t into lots About THE time mention

ried one Wolf. This later parsonage
erected a wooden building OH the site
where the Postoffice or Mattingly
building now stands. The wooden
building was built in accordance with

ing caught fire and burned to the
ground. While it was burning some
resident OF this town (may his ashes
rest in peace) fearing that the land
mark would be lost, seized a crowbar
and sunk it into the ground to mark
the corner OF the lot. Ever since then
that mark has been used to determine
tle position of lots in thar square.
Lo. was purchased by Chas. Reeve
and Henry Humrichouser in 1865
who have since disposed OF various
lots, until the last was sold by Bert
Reeve TO Frederick Morelock. 1t was
later discovered that the corner mark
was eight inches too far south, hence
results the dispute
Judge Bernetha granted the re-
straining order temporarily prohibit
ing the workmen from building on
;he inches in question.

GUILTY OF OBTAINING MONEY
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.

The editor of the Plymouth Dem
ocrat solicited advertising on the
Fourth of July program agreeing to
print and distribute 10000 copies OF
the official program" authorized by
the Fourth of July committee of Gull
yer. He was never authorized OF
never obtained the consent of the Gull
yer people 10 print and publish said
program, and it was not Official and
not authorized by the COMMITTEES
Metsker, instead of printing and cir,
culating 10000 printed but 5000, thus
over two-thrrds OF the money col
iected was obtained under false pre-
lenses The business men's picnic
program was another similar case
He agreed to print and circulate
5000 copies of the official program. .
We are reliably informed that less
than 5000 were printe |, thus over one
third of the money collected from adj

tense, not mentioning the fact that
the program itself was not official

WORKING UNDER
NEW WAGE LAW
PRESENT CORPS OF PLY
MOUTH TEACHERS ARE
BBST EVER HAD IN
CITY-ARE NOW PAID
ACCORDING TO
ABILITY.

The teachers wage and license
law passed by the last state legislat,
ure goes into effect with the opening
of this term OF school.
The old minimum wage law provid-
ed that beginning teachers wages
should be determined by multiplying
the average scholarship OF license by
2 IA; for teachers of 1 or years ex-
perience by multiplying the general
average of scholarship and success by
2 1-2 and for teachers of or more
years experience by multiplying by
, "a
The new law provides that for be-
ginning teachers the average scholar
ship be multiplied by 2 1-2; for teach
ers of l or ? years experience by 3
and for teachers of or more years
experience by 1-2 THIS means a
probable increase for grade teachers
throughout the state OF about p to
30 per CEN.
At the time the last law was passed
the state levy for tuition was increas
ed about 3 cents. but in mary school
corporations this is not sufficient 10
meet the increase in wages, conse,
luently the school corporations were
obliged to increase the local levy.
But the law provides also for bet
er qualification of teachers. especial
ly for those who have never taught.
While Plymouth does not have any
inexperienced teachers and all the
present corps are entitled to the in
crease in wages under the law be-
cause of experience it should be a
matter of satisfaction and pride TO all
concerned to see that our teachers are
willing to increase their professional
training for all have attended college
recently.
Every member OF the high school
faculty is a college graduate and
every grade teacher has been in nor
nal school or college within the past
two years. the most OF them the past
summer.
Much money IS expended these
days on the schools but there is
more efficiency in the teaching body
There is no other institution for
which the people should more gen
erously lend their support, for the
public school has for its positive aim
he making of better citizens and the
5etterment of life in all ways

BODY OF NEGRO FOUND.
Man Shot by Lake Shore Detective
Crawls Into Bushes and Dies.

In a clump of bushes in the north

of the negro, who six weeks ago was
wounded by Lake Shore detective,
was found Monday. The negro was
on the point of robbing a freight car
when the detective Sred. Though pur
sued hOtly by posse OF officers and
railroad men the offender escaped to
the woods. An extensive search fol
lowed, but evidently one clump OF
bushes escaped the eye. 1t was be-
Iieved that the negro had not gone
very far as he was seen to- limp as he
fled into neighboring marsh.
The coroner has found no clew to
his identity, and The body is now held

Judge Harry Bernetha granted an
injunction at GOO O'Clock D. m. Thurs,
day TO Jacob Rentschler, restraining
Frederick Morelock, Henry NJ. Haag
and Harry Kleckner. from building
upon inches of ground which
Rensselaer, maintains is mis- property.
In the suit wlrch will subsequently
follow, three business blocks may be
ordered moved inches north. These
buildings are Rentscfllers' saloon, the
Palmer building in which Woodbury's
meat market is located, and the Mat
tingly building which contains the
post office on Michigan street. 1t is
said that the Mattingly building ex-
tends inches too far south and is
on that much of city property. The
other two buildings, all upon % foot
lots, adjoin one another, then by a
reciprocating effect, if one building
is forced to occupy its legal position,
then all may be forced to move.
Frederick Morelock recently pur-
chased the lot on Michigan street be-
tween Rentschler's saloon and the
Rhnehart barber shop, and at once
started eNcayating for a brick build
ing. This building when completed
was to be occupied by the Chronicle
Printing office. The lot south is oc,
cupied by the Rentscfller building
mentioned above This building is
only 20 feet wide, but NJ. Reutschle,
claims that besides the extra two
feet, he also owns eight inches more
north, because OF the fact that all
buildings south to the CAIRO st. corner
from and including his own, are eight
inches too far south. This being the
case then the Rentschler building oc-

MISS MAYME E. SMITH, 444 East
1t1 Mound ST., Columb bus, Ohio, writes:
"Have used Peruna for catarrk and
hay fever. The results being remark
able, can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with the above dis
eases. l am happy to be able to say ID
has helped me wonderfully"
What is known as hay fever is in
reality endemic catarrh, catarrhal
condition of the nose, throat, some
times the bronchial tubes, induced by
some local irritant.
The irritation is generally due to vege-
tai emanations of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause of
this malady, hence its name, hay fever.
1t has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation also. 1t is q very
capricious disease, coming and going.
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat-
isfactory.
Peruna helps some cases without q
doubt, although it is not claimed to be
IN infallible remedy for such cases.

BRYAN ON PENSIONS.

Years ago, before his leadership of
the Populist wing Of the Democratic
party brought him into demand on the
lecture platform and made him man
of great wealth, William j. Bryan was
a newspaper editor and congress
man. His work was done on the
Omaha World Herald, and here is
the question of pensions for the Union
soldiers:
1.-THE next session of congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
$36, 900 900. This is on account OF
pensions This appropriation for pen.
sions for the next year must not be
less than sl5O.OO0.O00. 1t is therefore
easy arithmetic to perceive that the
appropriations that congress must
make for pensions next session must
aggregate not less than $186, 100000

or heroic service. The government Is

portion of this, and II seems helpless
