PLYMOUTH'S CELEBRATION One ol the Largest, Best, Most Appropriate and Enjoyable Ever Held in Marshall County. The Fourth of July has ime and gone, and Plymouth's celebration surpassed the promises and expectations of its originators. An extended write up is not necessary, for almost the entire country and more than a thousand people from adjoining counties were here.

The civic and military parade was one of the largest and most attractive ever seen in this section of the state. It was made promptly on time and was alone worth more than all the features of most, celebrations of Independence day. Tbe oration of Hon. L. W.Royse at the court yard in tbe afternoon, was equal to tbe best delivered anywhere in tbe United States.

He held the attention of an immense audience for an hour and thirty minutes, and every man, woman and child who heard him was pleased and It was an address that will be recollected for fifty years by young people as one of the greatest they ever heard because only a few times in any one's life is such a great oration heard. The music by the E'khart glee club was in keeping with the great oration and struck a responsive chord in every heart. The Bremen, Ke wanna and Plymouth bands enlivened the day from early morn until late at night with tbe finest strains of instrumental music. The automobile race was not the fastest ever known but it was one of the most amusing. Ben Linkenhelt was the winner and Fred Kuhn knows how a man feels when a balky horse takes one of his worst spells at the most critical moment.

The ball game was a tine one. Up to tbe seventh inning Milford had the tcst of it, then their pitcher weakened and theKewanna team, which seemed to have reserved their strength for the last Innings won by a score of 7 to o. The fireworks in the evening were the finest ever seen in the county. The only failure was the balloon which did not get up many feet on account of the heavy shower at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Taken all in all it was a great day and many Plymouth people said they were glad that Argos had a celebration because we bad all the people we could take care" of, but in this they were mistaken, because if all the people of Argos and all others who celebrated tue day there had been added to the Plymouth crowd the increase in the size of the crowd in this city would not have been perceptible.

Birthday Professor Wellington E. Bailey's hirthday and that of the nation are pretty close together. Of course Mr. Bailey is not so old as the nation; be is comparatively a young man, only 62 years old on Sunday, July 5, 1903, and Is just as young in spirit and. in action as he was twenty years ago.

nis sister, Mrs. Benedict and his daughter, Mrs. Ben Linkenhelt, prepared a splendid birthday dinner at tbe home of Mrs. Benedict, where Mr. Bailey also makes bis home.

Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Bailey came up from Peru, Mr.

and Mrs. Carve were here from Macy and Mrs. Ella Miller, from Bremen, and with the relatives here and Lawrence Linkenhelt and family made up as happy a birthday party as ever assembled. Tba afternoon was spent in social conversation, automobile riding and all had a general good time. There is always plenty of room and plenty vt work for such men as Prof.

Bailey who was a veteran of tbe civil war and since then has spent many years of his life in helping tr, educate the people of Marshall county and has in many other ways assisted in elevating the community. Long may he Round the World in Nine Minutes. To girdle the earth with a message in nine and a half minutes as did President MacKay on Saturday, is a marvelous achievement in telegraphy, made possible by the triumphs of science and engineering in a great century.

It closely followed a message sent by President Roosevelt to President MacKay, which was flashed around the globe in twelve cilntes.

New Tork, July 3. Five persons were rescued from a dismasted yacht by Sir Thomas Lipton's crews after a squall had wrecked their craft, and in the nick of time.

The catboat, which was cruising about Sandy Hook bay, near the anchorage of the Lipton fleet, was carrying a full mainsail, but no attempt was made to lower or reef when the storm clouds gathered. Squall SwMpi Down Suddealj.

Suddenly the squall swept down upon It and the fury of the wind fairly snapped the mast out of the boat clean to the deck. With the force of the squay the sea was broken Into a fury. The wreckage hung over the bow of the Yankee, threatening to capsize her momentarily. Mrs. Smith and her daughters shrieked and became hysterical, themes aboard paving them with difficulty from falling overboard.

While they attempted to head the wrecked into the eye of the pale the Wreckage alongside was pounding the planking. SIR THOMAS PROMPT IN ACTION Orders Ills Boats Away, Saves th Castaways and Mends Their Wreck. Aboard the Erin Sir Thomas Lipton, who had been watching the gathering storm, saw the mishap. It seemed to hfm at first as though the Yankee had been struck by lightning. Almost before the mast had fairly toppled Into the sea Sir Thomas had ordered the Erin's two launches cleared from the davits and lowered away.

Both launches were manned as they fell and were quickly headed for the wreck. It was difficult to get alongside the Yankee, because of the' heavy sea and the swaying, pounding, mass of wreckage. Finally a line heaved from the Erin's launch was made fast to the wrecked yacht and her head was brought around so that the gear could be cleared away. The smaller launch also got a line aboard, and both towed the dismasted craft, which by this time was half full of water from the seas Which had broken over her, into the lee of the Eriu. The party was taken aboard Thomas' flagship.

They were thoroughly drenched and were weak and faint with excitement. Sir Thomas made his Impromptu guests welcome. He offered to send them to the Atlantic highlands in a launch when the storm had subsided, but Ziegler expressed a hope that the Yankee might be saved. Quickly the Erin's carpenter and some of the crew overhauled the tangle of gear. The splintered mast was hoisted aboard and a new step cut.

The stump was dragged out and the mast reshipped and rigged within half an hour, and the Yankee was enabled to proceed under sail to Camp Lawrence, where the party Is stopping. Weald Net Back Bins Cp. Terre llaute, July 2. W. M.
