Messrs. Stevens and Rucker, of Min
neapolis Want the Aid of Citizens
in an Enterprise that Should
Commend Itself to All.
B. V. Stevens in conjunction with II.
L. Bucker, of the University of Com
merce and Finance, of Minneapolis,
Minn., are in the city for the purpose
of establishing a thoroughly first-class
business college for the training of
young men and women for practical
busin ss life. These gentlemen come
to our city with a proposition that is
practicable and feasible. They come
not only with the very best recommen
dations and endorsements, but with the
evidences of the success of a number of
similar colleges established by President
Kucker in the states of Nebraska, North
and South Dakota and Minnesota. All
of these schools are being successfully
conducted; some of them were estab
lished years ago and are large, prosper
ous institutions and the pride of the
cities where located.
The proposition is to establish the
school on a permanent basis on the con
dition that our citizens subscribe and
pay for twenty scholarships at 8100
each. The terms will be quarterly in
advance. The regular price of these is
8120 and entitle anyone to whom they
may be transferred to the complete
course of training (time unlimited) in
both the business and shorthand de
partment. No bonus is asked or de
sired. There ii not a business man in
the city, perhaps, who could not dispose
of several scholarships with a little ef
fort among his friends and acquaint
ances. We venture the assertion that
from fifteen to twenty young people of
this vicinity leave yearly to obtain
such an education. These young peo
take away about 8o00 each per year.
When it is known that each school
which has been established by these
gentlemen has had an attei lance of
123 or more different pupils during the
first year, the value of such an institu
tion will be appreciated by the business
public. There is another and higher
view to be taken as regards the value
of an educational institution, and that
is the benefit of that large class of young
people who will profit by such a school
in our midst who cannot attend away
from home.
It is to be hoped our business men
and citizens will encourage this enter
prise. It is an investment that will
bring its sure return, and requires little
or no sacrifice on our part.

A cry of Distress comes to us from
Nebraska.
A more opportune time could not
have been chosen, in our estimation, for
those in need, to appeal to the citizens
of Plymouth, with out stretched hands
for succor, than close upon the Christ
mas festivities we have just past
through.
Mr. J. F. Oman, of Nebraska, is go,
ing through this section of the state,
giving conclusive evidence of the terri
ble condition of the people throughout
some portions of that state, lie comes
to us with the best of recommendations,
and should receive the encouragement
our people are noted for, when an ap
peal for help is presented. We are re
quested to state that an effort will be
made to ship a car load to Nebraska.
Anything that will be of service, wheth
er eatables or clothing is solicited. Ar
rangements have been made to receive
all donations at the warehouse of Buck
& Toan's, on Center street, next Mon
day. Our generous hearted people
should not forget this matter and should
also bear in mind that owing to the ex
treme cold weather that will in all prob
ability, soon bo upon us, such vegetables
as are of such a nature as to withstand
a moderate freezing spell, should be
donated. The committee say anything
in the shape of wearing apparel, that
will keep out the cold wintry blasts of
northern Nebraska, will bo accepted.
The Canning Factory.
There has been but little work con
suma ted in regaul to the location of
a canning factory in Plymouth, the
past week by our Business Men's
association, owing to the Christmas
festivities, but they have not been
idle by any means. Through our May
or, Mr. Swindell, communications have
been received from points where Mr.
Babbit has succeeded in locating tho
same kind of works under contemplation
here, and nothing but tho best reports
have been receive', not only as to the
ability of Mr. Babbit, but as to the suc
cessful issue as to tho factories located
at these different points under his su
pervision. It now devolves upon our people to
decide whether they desire a
factory or not. If they do, and will
come to the front and subscribe the
stock sutlicient for the erection of the
works, it will be but a short time until
the ground will be broken for another
industry in Plymouth.
Reuninon.
A family reunion was held Christmas
day at the residence of J. A'. Astley on
Walnut street, and a large number of
the Astley family and relatives were
present from this city and South Bend.
The house was artistically decorated,
and owing to the recent change and im
provement in the dining room, every
one of the thirty-six guests present was
enabled to be seated at onetime. The
long table fairly groaned under the
weight of good cheer. There was turk
ey of course, and lots of it, and salads
with other good things too numerous to
mention. The centerpieces of table
decoration were two unusually line
cakes, the work of Miss Flora Astley.
These cakes were not cut; but if their
taste was as good as their appearance,
they would have been a feast tit for the
gods. The following were present:
Mr. and Mrs. John V. Astley and
family, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Astley son
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. II. B Whit
lock and sons Joseph and Oscar, Mrs.
Chas. Andrews and children, Frank,
Dora and Mary, Mr. and Mrs. T. Prots
man, Fmma and Charles Protsman.
The following relatives from South
Bend completed the list of this family
gathering. K. Shanahan and wife and
Cliford, Besssieand Bay Shanahan, Win.
Weaver and wife. Kd. Weaver and
Clem, Willie and Balph Asire and Miss
Anna Crandall, of Newton, Kas.
Everyone present experienced a most
enjoyable time. After the dinner they
indulged in singing and instrumenta
music, and many of the guests from out
of town regretted that they must leave
in order to catch their trains for home.
There is probably no time when the
sterling good qualities, the open-hearted
and genial good fellowship of John
V. Astley and his esteeniable wife are
more prominently displayed than when
they are entertaining their friends and
relatives at their comfortable home. It
is then that they are seen at their best,
hospiU-ble, generous, kind, their every
action bespeaks their, earnest desire to
make every one feel at home. And in
the hearts of all who attended these
Christmas festivities there will always
linger a grateful feeling of thanks to
ward Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Astley and
their family. Taken all in all this was
probably one of the largest family re
unions ever held in Plymouth.
Foot Race.
The running race bet ween Fngledrum
of South Bend and Geo. Grant of this
city at the opera house on Friday even
ing last was well attended. During the
first live miles (irant did not show very
good form and at one time told the
audience not to bet on him as he did
not think he could win. Fngledrum
had given Grant a start of 21 laps, or
three quarters of a mile, but in the 10th
mile finding that he could not gain any
on (Jrant, Fngledrum quit the race
and hurry irig from the opera house
boarded a tram for South Bend. The
fastest mile in the match was covered
by both men in five and one-foiuth
minutes.
Grant has demonstrated himself a
fast runner and after running nearly 1G
miles showed no signs of fatigue.
It is said that early next spring Grant
will run against all comers on the race
track here, and there would seem to be
no reason why such a running match as
that could not be made a grand success.
An Appeal.
The following is an extract from a let
ter dated Dec, 23rd., Araphoe, Neb,:
Friend J. F., I am in hard luck; I have a
wife, six boys, the youngest of which is
seven years old, a daughter sixteen. We
have had no crops in this section for two
years, we are without clothing and al
most without rations. Now if you can
send me a box of old clothes it will be
ablessing, to J. W llenshaw, Co. D,
LM.Uh Ind Inft.
I am acquainted with the comrade,
and know that he was an honor to his
command, I desire to ship him clothing
next Tuesday. Those who desiro to con
trbute clothing for this package can do
so, with the assurance that all over what
is need for himself and family will be
judiciously distributed. Leave such
packages you wish to contribute at
Houghton & Houghton's grocery.

Charity Ball.
The charity ball which will be held
at tho opera house on Monday evening,
New Year's eve, will, without doubt,
prove one of the greatest social events
of tho season. Present indications
point conclusively to this as the most suc
cessful New Year's dance ever held in
this city. One glance at the list of
our prominent citizens in whose hands
is left the management of this ball will
convince all, that this w ill be a society
event of more than ordinary moment.

1 NOW it came to pass that in the
first era of the reign of King Swindell,
there was a great gathering of the tribes
unto the city of Plymouth.
2, And thereunto came many men

Christmas at the Churches.
The Christmas service at the Presby
terian church were pleasing features
of Chritmas tide and many a young boy
and girl was made happy by the inter
esting exercises. The poor of our city
wereremembered,bythe follow. 'n list of
goods brought In by the memb?rs of the
Sunday school for distrbution under the
direction of Superintendent J. W. Parks:
Fight ecu sacks of tlo.ir, eight and one
half bushelsof potatoes, eight baskets of
apples, twenty-one cans of fruit, half
dozen cabbage, four sacks of corn meal,
seven pounds of coffee, two sacks of
crackers nine loaves of bread, one sack
of dried fruit.'one of bean, thirty
pounds of sugar, one jar of butter, one
of dried corn, a package meat, eight
packages of clothing, one pair of shoes,
ven from Ilion, Wolf Creek and the , ,,et.k (,t-i.ects and one of turnips. All
farthermost borders of Argos, and a j oi- Avluch helped to make a mei ry Chi -ist-.
grand council of the tribes was held
'.i Now many there were who had dis
satisfaction in their hearts, nor was the
fear of the elect with them.
4 Then it came to pass in the fullness
of time, that other rulers were chosen
from among the people, into whose
hands was given the government of the
land of Plymouth.
3 And when they did enter into pos
session, the old party was gathered unto
its father and the new Bepublicans
reigned in its stead.
G Then was there much rejoicing
of everv kind and with musical instru
ments, with sacbut, harp and psaltery
did they celebrate their victory.
7 Nor was the rams horn and the
"Hew gag" forgotten and the noise
thereof was as that of battle.
8 Yet did the defeated feel more sore,
for they were stilled neck in all things,
neither had they bowed to the powers
that be but worshiped strange gods,
and in the stiffest place they got it.
J Neither was the ax dulled and the
pain thereof was great. Still were they
not cast down but continued in all
things as before.
10 Then met they together and in dark
ness made ready to strike, for like the
Philestines did they not know defeat.
11 And there were men amongst
them who did say: The ballot box hath
helped our enemies, yet will we smite
them hip and thigh and drag them from
their high places.
12 Then in the darkness of tbeir
hearts did these men determine that by
stratagem and craft would they over
throw their enemies.
13 Now there abided within the walls
of the city, two mighty men whose
names are known even from Dan to
Besaheba.
14 The one had furnished the lumber
for the temple of the most high, while
tho other did not love the sound of bat
tle. 13 But amongst the hills of Askelon
did pitch his tent when the great war
raged throught Judea.
1G Yet unto these two men was in
trusted the work of the democratic re
demption. 17 The one who had pitched his tent
afar off did kick and his kick was
like unto the force of that of an army
mule, yet did he know not more than
tho mule.whereof he kicked.
18 And his voice was as that of a
prophet crying in the wilderness in as
much as there was none to heed him.
It) Then did these two rise up within
the chamber of the elect and did de
nounce the workings of the King, neither
were their words choice nor their actions
discreet. Yet cried they out ahvay.
20 And it came to pass in the fullness
oftimo that tho filthy lucre and the
sheckles which the scribes, the phara
sees and the sinners had paid as tribute
to tho most high, was ordered divided
amongst the men of otlice.
21 Then did those two men not turn
away, but verily their hands were ex
tended for their share ahvay.
22 Yet some there were within the
sanctuary who did object, but their ob
jections were as the water that falleth
on tho duck's back, for it availed
naught.
2.1 There also came before them di
verse persons who had complaint to
make and many there wero who sought
to find favor in the eyes of tho King,
But with equity did he judge them, and
with wisdom, even as did Solomon of
old.
21 Then departed all the wise men,
and Simon, the son of Myers, did close

The proverbial Chiitmas tree was

LITERARY NOTES.
The relation which price bears to
quality in literature is made obscure by
the Christmas Cosmopolitan. Stories by
Budyard Kipling, William Dean How
ells, Mrs. Spencer Trask, Mrs. Burton
Harrison, and Albion W. Turgee, are
interspersed with poetry by Sir Fdwin
Arnold, Fdmund Clarance Stedman,
and James Whitcomb Hi ley, while
through the number are scattered illus
trations by such famous artists as Bem
ington, Toche, Beinhart, Turner, Yan
Schaick, Gibson and Stevens. A series
of portraits of beautiful women of so
ciety illustrates an article on The rela
tions of Phot ograghy to Art; a travel
article by Napoleon Ney, grand -son of
the famous field Marshall; one of the
series, great passions of History, to
which Foude and Gosse have already
contributed, and half a dozen others
equally interesting, go to make up the
attractions of this number. The Cos
mopolitan people say:" We might charge
you more for this number, but, in all
frankness, could we give you better ma
terial, better illustrated, if we charged
you a dollar a copy?"
