COLD STORAGE.
Another i"ature of Importance and i.roat
Commercial Value to Plymouth ami
Vicinity.
In giving an epitome of the numer
ous manufacturing enterprises in our
beautiful city, we would neglect an im.
portant feature of our progressiveres,
if we failed to note the enormous busi
ness transacted by Swindell Pros.
These gentlemen have now one of
the most complete cold storage buildings
to be found in any city the size of Ply
mouth, in the United States. Their
place of business is on the corner of
Walnut and (larro streets, and a large
new brick structure graces the spot, 00
xTO and three stories in height, with a
basement under the entire structure.
The greater portion of the first and
second floor is taken up for their storage
room occupying a space of KJXoO. In
the front of the Hist lloor is the busi
ness ollice, and on the second lloor the
shipping department is located, and at
the time of our visit, contained hun
denls to turkeys and chickens ready for
shipment.
On the first lloor, the ccld storage
rooms are ulitized principally for storing
eggs, a regular temperature of 'AO de
grees being kept. In the basement are
commodious rooms where the fowls are
kept a ter being dressed, and frozen be.
fore shipment.
Ou the first lloor is a large loom be
tween the elevator and the storage de
partment, that is exclusively for
the examination of eggs both be
fore being placed into storage
previous to shipment. This department
is handled by experts. When the eggs
are shipped they are separa ed into two
different lots. Leaving the new build
ing we went into the old structure
which is now utilized for the handling
of the live fowls, preparing them for
market, and the creamery department.
While in this part of the building we
looked in on some twelve or fifteen
men and boys who were picking turkeys
anu chickens. In this department they
handle about four turkeys a minute.
The creamery operated by this linn,
has built up an enviable reputation and
the butter turned out by '.hem, enters a
ready market. This department does
not run during t lie winter, hut in the
summer is crowded to its fullest capac-
ity.
To give an idea of the enormous bus
mess done by this firm, only necessitates
the statement that they are shipping at
the present time two car loads of their
produce every week. While their pay
roll is not as large as other institutions,
being only S2O0.0-) per mouth, yet they
scatter broadcast throughout the sur
rounding country every year, the large
sum of 100,000 to 10,000, which goes
directly to the homes of the producers.
Such institutions as that conducted
by the Swindell Pr. s., is of great bene
fits to our city, and it is with pleasure
that we in as bri?f a manner as possible
outline a few of the important feitures
'.'onnected with this rapidly growing in
dustry in PIvmouth.

It is said that at Rochester the mer
chants have became indignant over the
distribution of considerable advertising
matter calling the pubLc's attention to
"baigam day" at Chicago. Jt isiurther
stated that the Chicago V: Erie Pailroad
has advertised an excursion to the city
on these days. The business men in
formed the company through their
agent Hut if th-s excursions were not
culled oil', they would discontinue
patronizing that road. The result of
the tin at has not yet been given out.

It is rumored that a factory for the
manufacture of the Cottage piano is
soon to be built in this city by W. S.
Hills, of Warsaw. Mr. Hills said this
morning tint arrangements were about
completed and that he expected soon
to be actively at woik with a force of
skilled workmen. (J round has been
offered him as a bonus conditional up
on the erection of a brick building and
the operation of a factory for a stated
length of time.

Last night about sundown at Ham
let, about 14 miles west of this city,
John McClellan, while attempting to
couple some cars, was injured in the
left breast and right shoulder. As
soon as lie was found he was
brought to this city and Dr. Wilson was
immediately called, who dressed the
injuries and held him over for
the limited passenger train when the
doctor accompanied him to Ft. Wayne.
He will probably recover.
( loan tli Walk-.
While our city council is working
out important measurts for the benefit
of the city, it would not be amiss for
them to pass an ordinance regarding the
cleaning of sidewalks. One of the
serious inconveniences that confront
; our.citizens after a snow storm, is the
j enormous amount of frozen snow and
ice that accumulates upon our thorough
tin's. It is a matter that, as a rule, is
rigidly enforced m the greater majority
of towns as large as Plymouth. When
the snow plow used by the street com-
! missioner has been brought into service,
although of considerable benefit, it leaves
a ridge in the center of the walk, and
when the weather moderates and thaw
ingand freezmgeommence, pedestrians
are in a great many instances compelled
to take the middle of the stieet, to in
sure their salty in going to their busi
ness and returning home. We believe
the council should take some action in
this matter.
I NUIHljiy's Mils Mt'flilli;
Yesterday afternoon at 3:30 ended
the continuous temperance meeting
held in this city under the auspices of
the Y's. This meeting was held in
the opera house and wa? greeted by a
large turn out. Mr. Dunn, of Mil
waukee, who has been delivering these
lectures, is a man widely noted as an
evangelist along this line of work. lie
is a lluent speaker and presents his ar
guments in a manner entirely different
from the majority of temperance work
ers. It must be acknowledged that the
reception extended to Mr. Dunn by
those who are supposed to be interested
in his line of work, was very lukewarm.
"Actions speak louder than words" is
a saying that has in decades past borne
the closest scrutiny, and in this case
has c '- forth no little comment.

Over at Waivaw resides a man b' the
name of .leroiue Kein, who several days
ago had his wife arrested on the charge
of assault and battery. It was learned
at the irial Hint .Jerome had a fashion
of loading up en "tamerack,"' and when
he would arrive at his domicle, had a
fashion of sobering up by exercisi.ig on
his wife's anatomy. Put Jerome tried
his little performance once too often,
and his better half rose up in her
reighteous indignation, and smote him
over the pate with a good sized stick,
which causnl the elevation of a hat rack
on his head. After due rellection over
the way he had been treated, he resorted
to law. While the evidence showed con
clusively, that his wife had bumped his
head, the jury discharge the long pa
tient wife.

In speaking of improvements we can
but turn with a feeling of pride to the
service given our people by the Ply
mouth Telephone Exchange. When
this enterprise was first under contem
plation, it was considered to be an uncall
ed for and expensive undertaking, but
since the service has b en lunched, and
especially under the m inagement of
Mr. C. A. Pteve, the benefits to be de
rived have been augmented by the
numerous customers that have had in
struments placed not only in their busi
ness houses, but private residences. At
the present time the en' ire system has
beenrenova ed.newtransmittersuti i.ed
and every thing possible to facilitate ex
cellent service and satisfaction to its
numerous patrons, have been applied.
In conversation with manager Peeve
we learn that at the present time VAA in
struments are in use m Plymouth,
which does not take into consideration
the twenty in use at Argos. One im
portant feature of our sen ice is
that we are in connection with every
town of any importance throughout the
county.
During the late snow storm and sleet
that 1 ell in abundance, not a w ire of this
excellent service became crossed, and
no delay whatever orginated by the in
clemency of the weather. Our people
are to be congratulated upon our tele
phone system, which without a doubt
is far ahead of any service given to
cities of the size of Plymouth.

Conductor Lindell, of the South Chi
cago trolley line, is, if reports be true,
a lit subject for the cat-o'-nine-tails, the
pillory, the stocks, the steel maiden or
a bucket of tar and leal hers. When a
car, whether it be street or trans conti
nental, is snow bound in bitter co'd
weather, and the regular supply of fuel
is exhausted with no prospect of re
lief the passengers are certainly jus
tified in using seats, floor mats and
whatever is at hand that may be con
verted into fuel. With the dreary
prospect of a night of exposure and
particularly after authorities in the
matter nave refused to send relief we
believe the liberty loving people of a
great anil sovereign sta'e would justi
fy the passengers m either burning tin-
car seats or killing the conductor.
Hut in this case the conductor said: "get
out m the storm and walk or sit here
and shiver" and the people sat and
shivered and were chilled to the bone'
and nearlv frozen until they left the
car benumbed and tpuiking with cold.

Tuesday at Farmland, Ind., while
workmen were clearing up a piece of
timbered land near the Dele ware and
Henry county line whic'i was badly
wricked by a wind storm about four
teen years ago they found a human
skeleton imbeded among the bodies ol
several uprooted trees. Near skeleton
was a metallic clasp and rim of pocket
book, iiso several pieces of silver
money, while directly under the skele
ton was found a long br i.-s rule used by
lumbermen in measureing lumber, with
the letters .!."' plainly cut :i one
end. The finding of the skeleton has
icvived and ii' doubt furnishes a solu
tion to a mystery that excited the peo
ple of Oikvilie, a to --mi near by, for
yens at tee the storm. The Ian li"id of
the village hotel at that time received a
litter from a Chicago lumber lirni ask
ing for information concerning oic 1 -n
jainm tinswo'il, who had been sent to
that place to purchase lumber in the
trees. The landlord replied that ajoiing
man remained all night at Iiis house
but after payjng his bill left early next
morning, as he thought, for the depot
to catch a train, lie made his business
known to no one, consequently no trace
of him could be found, even by some
relatives who art erwards visited Oak
villeand made a thorough investigation,
ilis mysterious disappearance was
never connected with the storm that
almost destroyed Oakville and many
other surrounding towns, but many be
lieved that ho was secretly making ex
plorations through the lands, inspecting
timber, when the storm began and tak
ing shelter under some trees, lost his
life. Every etfort will bo made to find
the address of the persons who com
municated with the Oakville landlord
fourteen years ago and the facts un
earthed yesterday will be made known.

Since ISVA presidents of the Tinted
States have appointed the last Thurs
day of November of each year as a day
of national thanksgiving in return for
the preservation of the nation and the
countless blessings that have come to a
free and independent people. The pres
ident's proclamation is supplemented
by the proclamation - of the governors
of states and so ihe great national fes
tival, inaugurated by the Pil'jrims at
Plymouth nearly lour centuries aro is
pei petuated.
The authority of t!:e civil govern
ment to appoint such a it-ast was for
mally recognized by the Kpiscopal
church m 17s'.. but the : aiue recogni
tion was not vouchsated by the I Ionian
Catholic church until lss, almost a
century later and over a cent in y alter
a national thanksgiving day had been
recognzed by Congress. Thanksgiv
ing, as an annual harvest festival and
legalized holiday, in conception, per
petuation and observance is pun Ivan
American institution calculated to lift
a great nation for a day from its selfish
pursuits and gives it an opportunity to
see in the retrospect of a past year
that, with the toiling and moiling of
the millions, there have been showered
upon it a thousand blessings hitherto
unrecognized or not acknowledged.
On this day the toiler ceases from his
labor. The day comes to him as one
of rest and recreation. It is a day of
feasting from ocean to ocean, from the
ice bound North to the sunny South
there is the deep and heartfelt con
sciousness of l-cing thankful for all
that has made these things possible.
Peneath all the festivities and mani
festations of rejoicing that will charac
terize the day tomorrow, will beat the
great, warm, throbbing, patriotic Amer
ican .heart and the thankfulness of a
nation will be expressed and apparent
in every city, village and hamlet and at
every country fireside along u) the
highways and byways of this broad
land and by the token of the turkey
gobbler the na'ional thanksgiving day
shall be known both far and wide.
What shall we be thankful nr'f IJeas
ous, like the leaws of a mighty forest,
are inniinu iab!e. Fach oj us has cause
for thanks for the preservation of life,
for lootl, fi r cloihing, protection 0f
home and those that are dear to us,
shelter and what not. We may be
thankful that we are not under the
rule of a Sultan, that we are not ground
down and trodden upon by a despot.
We may be thankful that we arc not
millionaires. We may be thankful
for the reign of national peace and
prosperity and plenty by which t he
year past lias been characterized.
If the measure of our desires has
not been tilled to oversow ing we may
still be thankful for the things we have
received and a few moments rellection
will disclose to most of us many such
things to be thankful for. Let us re
joice and be thankful.
