BARGAINS FOUND THEREIN.
k ( l nesday morning Plymouth wasall
aj?low with excitement. It was knowo
that Company "M" would leave for
Indianapolis and report for duty. The
boys were ready to answer the call, and
Capt. Caprou lost no time in rallying
his company, and getting it in shape.
The streets were thronged with people,
and all business was suspended. Flags
and hunting were streaming from win
dows and tope of buildings, and Um "red,
white and blue" was 6een on every cor
ner. There was a scurrying to and fro
of the boys saying "good-bye," and
making arrangements for their de
partim from the city. The scene was
one of excitement, and in many homes
there were Uar dimmed eyes.
The company assembled at the opera
house, and Laporte street was a surg
lng Hides of humanity. The schools
and all business houses were closed,
the factories shut down, and at 9300
o'clock the Novelty employes, 300
strong, marched 111 a body and formed
in two ranks, open order, on Michigan
and Garro streets.
In the opera house all was hustle and
hurry. Soon the assembly call was
heard, clear and distinct, and the boys
formed in two ranks on Laporte street
with 'old glory" in front, carried by
W. F. Young, when the command "for
ward march" was given by Capt. J . C.
Capn-n. The e inpany passed up Mi
chigan street to Garro, and down Garro
to the L. F. .V; W. depot.
The Novelty boys, with uncovered
heaas, stood to attention while the boI
diers passed down the center. An etligy
of General Weyler was carried by a
sturdy young man who brought up the
rear. Arriving at the depot they were
greeted by fully two thousand people,
who had assembled thtre to say "good
bye." In the eyes of many a brave
boy there glistened a tear not in fear,
but the thought of saying farewell to
home ami loved ones -and many a lip
quivered as the final word "good bye"
i was spoken to wife, sister or mother.
There was no hilarity, as everyone
fully understood the gravity of the oc
casion. There were farewells said this
morning, perhaps for the last
time. The life of a soldier is not
strewn with Mowers, and perhaps the
brave young men who left this morn
mg will discover this fact ere long, but
they had determination stamped on
their faces to go wherever their country
called them and to die in defence of the
old Hag. Marshall county furnished
her quote, and the young men who left
Plymouth this morning were the llow
ers of the town.
We are satistied that they will do
honor to themselves and to the county
they represent. No speeches were
made at the depot, as the time was
taken up in matters more important
to those interes ed.
When the train pulled in no time
was lost in boarding it. The last hand
shake was given, a fond embrace to
loved ones, and with a hearty cheer the
last good-bye was Bpoken.
Just before their departure, Kot.ien,
the photographer, took a quick picture
of Company "M" with Capt. Capron
and "old glory" in the foreground.
The elligy of (Jen. Weyler was sus
pended on a pole and the torch applied
amid the cheers of the assembled thous
ands. The old veterans of Ply
month marched in the rear of the new
company, and by their presence and
words of encouragement bid them (Jod
speed and good luck. The cheers were
then given for the boys who dared to
brave the hardships of a soldier's life
and the dangers of battle. The scene
was inspiring and one long to he rem
embered by the people of 1'lymouth. It
is the fond hope that the brave boys who
left us this morning will return to their
home and loved ones without a stain
on their character or the old Hag which
is the glory of every true American
citizen.

George Fogle is the bugler for the
company.
It is not an easy matter to say good
bye to your sweetheart.
Some of the boys missed the train,
but they will follow later.
Several of the boys lost courage when
they got to the depot. They are still in
the city.
A couple of the boys who went to
war neither weeped nor cryed they
just bawled as they bid farewell to
their friends.
There is considerable talk as to how
the election will be effected by the de
parture of Company " M." It was at
first thought that the majority of the
soldier boys were democrats, but it
appears from latest advices that the
two parties will be effected about
eoually.
A representative of the Independent
acoompanied the volunteers as far as
Argos. About a dozen young men of
that city joined the company. One
mother in Argos created a pitiful scene
by running after her boy. They clasped
each other in their arms and but for a
terrible determination, the boy would
have missed getting aboard.
The "Gen Weyler" placard which fell
from the "paddy," that was carried to
the depot, was picked up by some fellow
who knows a joke when he sees it.
lie fastened the "(Jen Weyler" placard
on the coat tail of P. O. Jones who un
knowingly paraded with it nearly to the
depot. Mr. Jones was quick to see the
comical in the trick and spared the life
of the perpetrator.
Walkerton Bank C ertificate.
A dispatch says the time certificates
of depo9it of the Rird Thompson bank
if Walkerton are coming to the front,
and Thompson is missing. The auth
orities have long been looking for the
financier, who claimed to represent
so much Chicago capital and now that
these time certificates of deposit issued
in October or Noveroeber last, are turn
ing up, with accrued interest, be is
particulary wanted. It is now known
that 840,000 of thes.e certificates were
issued, being circulated all over the
country.
Au agent of the National bank of
South Mend was at Walkerton Wednes
day with a pretested 5,000 certificate
sent for collection by the First Nation al
bank of Los Angle, Cal. Postmaster
Thompson Turner, of Walkerton, also
presented a J?5,000time certificate from
the bank of Lasalle, 111. Mr. Turner
is an ex-banker of Walkerton, and he
reports another certificate of 83,000.
The president of the St. J oseph County
Savings bank of South Mend also pre
sented one of these drafts for outside
clients and the end is not yet. There
appears absolutely no chance of getting
any' lung on them.
Democratic Ticket the Winner.
Notwithstanding the war enthusiasm,
local politics are not being forgotten.
The candidates of the two parties have
been doing some faithful electioneering
during the past week and they are
fairly able to forecast results. The
candidates on democratic ticket seem
to have the bulge on their opponents.
The entire ticket is a strong one, and
there are no democrats who want to
divide the dose. Mut with the Republi
cans it is different. There are a few
candidates on thair ticket who are quite
popular and are good men, but the
mayoralty candidate is a hard load for
them. One of the candidates on the
republican ticket expressed himself
yesterday to the ell'ect that his party
had made a mistake in not nominating
a man for major who had property
interests. The democrats have not
only met this requirement in their
selection but they have a man who is
conscientious and careful, a man who
does not believe in the reckless and
lavish use of private means for mere
show and who would be just as careful
a custodian of the city's interests, If
elected.
The reliable citizens know that this
compliment can not be bestowed upon
the republican candidate. Mr. Wiison,
the candidate for treasurer, Mr. Hall the
candidate for clerk, and Mr. Chamy
the candidate for marshal are all strong
candidates.
So far as Mr. Wilson is concerned,
his election is assured beyond doubt,
and it will be a great Baptise if Mall
and Chaney don't have votes to spare.
Next Tuesday will decide the contest.

Stella Kemp was arraigned before
Justice Reeves Monday, charged
with assault and battery on the person
of one Delia Ostrum. Delia says that
Stella invited her to her house to talk
over matters and instead of meeting
with nice treatment she met Stella's
anger which resulted in a case of as
sault and battery. Stella plead guilty
and was lined and costed to the amount
of $9. SB. Another young lady by the
name of Mary Schräder was also
charged with assaulting Delia, but Jus
tice Reeves permitted her to go on
promise to do better. When women
fall out and tight what can you expect

For Life.
The tiial of Jack Murke, for the mur
der of Policeman Kellar, at South Mend,
some two months ago, came to an end
in the Laporte circuit court Saturday.
The case was given to the jury about
noon. After three hours' deliberation,
the verdict of 1 guilty"' was returned
and sentence was lixed at imprisonment
for life. Murke was a "hobo." Nothing
is known of his origin or his family,
and it is probable that "Murke" is an
assumed name. He killed Otlicer Kel
lar while engaged, with two partners,
in robbing a store at South Mend. Kel
lar attempted to arrest the three burg
lars and was shot by I'm ke
Funeral or Meter M. Hyacinth.
Tuesday, at 9 o'clock, the mor
tal remains of Sister Mary Hyacinth
were borne forth from the halls of St.
Michael's academy, where her dear face
was known and loved, to the church for
the funeral service.
Solemn Requiem Mass was sung by
Rev. Father Hortsman of Michigan
City, assisted by Rev. Fathers Johanes
and Moench, as deacon and sab deacon.
The solemn chant of the Requiem
BeeoMd never so sad as mingled with
the sobs of those who mourned the gen
tle nun who followed so faithfully the
standard of the Cross.
When the mass was ended, Father
Moench delivered an eloquent and
touching sermon. He paid a glowing
tribute to the grandeur of her vocation
and the 34 years of her religious life,
but the sobs of those present hid much
of the beauty of his words showing how
they were re echoed in the hearts of
his hearers. When the last sad rites
were over, the procession headed by the
Cross, returned to the academy where
the remains were viewed by those who
knew and loved her fifteen years, until
taken to South Bend for interment at
St. Mary's.
And now only sweet memories re
main of the kind shiter, who was never
too busy for a gracious word or smile,
and always welcomed when the years
had passed those who had often tres
passed on her kindness, charming them
with her bright sayings and gracious
ways. She was indeed, one of God's
noble women.
How LM Will They Stay T
"How long the Indiana troops will re
main at Camp Mount is not yet known,"
says the Indianapolis Journal. "It was
thought that the letter addressed lo
Governor Mount from Secretary Alger
would reach here Tuesday evening, but
when trie last delivery of mail was
made the letter was not among the big
package of mail. Governor Mount
said Tuesday that he was inclined to
believe the National Guard would be
kept long in he places of states ren
dezvous. The tone of General Alger's
dispatch led him to believe that the
order would quickly call for the move
ment of the troops toward the coast to
such a point as the war department
might desire to have the National
Guard mobilized. "It is not likely that
all states will be able to get their forces
together as quickly as has Indiana, he
said. "There must necessarily be some
delay in some of the states. It seems
likely that as soon as it is known that
all the troops are ready to move the
order will be come."
