Can Easily Get Along Without Them. Each and every candidate for office in this county seems to have settled down to the conviction that a stillhunt canvass will prove the most satisfactory and successful, and unless the ‘‘eminent orators’” from other parts of the state are thrust upon us, the oratorical eagle will do but little screaming in this community. In the days of other years the average voter waited the coming of stump speakers to enlighten him upon the issues of the day and receive pointers as to how to Aattain political success; but with a very few exceptions the American people are well versed in every phase of party politics, because the newspapers have kept them constantly advised of stale and national affairs. About every party movement is laid before the people almost immediately upon its enactment, and every reader’s opportunities are equal to those who are occupying the highest positions in governmental affairs.—Rochester Republican. :

'J.‘he'managersi of the Columbia City fair have giveu up in diszust. Rain knocked them out ‘completely last week. .

Thursday night last, thieves entered the bar room of the Haseall house at Goshen and secured about s3sin small change.

Several tents used on the Goshen fair grounds were stolen last Friday night. For bold thieving, Goshen takes the lead. :

~ Wolcottville is putting on airs since there is a possibility of a railroad striking that burg. They now want to be incorporated. Grandmother Hawn, one of the oldest and best known pioneer women of northern Indiana, died near Rochester Monday, aged ninety-four. Milford is to have a new hotel. A stock company has been organized with a capital of $6,000, and a firstclass building will be erected. |

During the last three months over 2,000 woodchuck scalps have been pre sented to the Steuben county auditor for bounty, amounting to $3OO. A. J. Whittienberger,a Claypool merchant, has been put on the Kosciusko republican ticket for representative in place of Widaman, who withdrew. The receipts of the Auburn fair will pay all expenses, premiums, ete., and leave a small balance in the treasury. A good showing considering the weather. i

Henry B. Ranstead, a St. Joe county farmer, marketed 5,000 bushels of barley at South Bend last week. Mr. Ranstead evidently believes as a good farm crop.

Kip. C. Carmen, a well-known Fort Wayne railroad shop man and an exmember of Co. C, 44th Indiana Vols., died suddenly of heart disease last Monday afternoon. : : The patrons of industry to the num ber of 15,000 held a grand picnic near Butler last week. The procession is said to have been the largest ever seen in DeKalb county. The next reunion of the Twentyninth Indiana regiment will be held at Bremen, Marshall county, Oct. 8 and 9, 1891. This was decided at the Rochester (Ind.) reunion recently. -

It is reported at Goshen that one of the candidates on the republican county ticket was so thoroughly drunk_on a late occasion, that he had to be carried out of an Elkhart saloon. %

Sundry Fort Wayne capitalists are backing a scheme that will msure that city a permanent exposition and fair. About $35,000 is' needed to make the thing go, and it will be forthcoming.

It is rumored that the arrest of Dan Harman at Auburn caused a loss to the fair of seventy-five dollars. He lacked that much of paying for the privilege of operating on the fair ground. : , : Hiram M. Milten and Nora A. Coulter won considerable notoriety by gettine married at the Goshen fair last Thursday. Rev. C. C. Albertson tied the knot in the presence of about 5,000 witnesses. The Farmers’ Alliance and workingman’s county ticket lately nominated by a coterie of republican heelers in Allen county, will doubtless be indorsed by the g. o. p. convention at Fort Wayne next Saturday. ,

P. F. Ryan, the Auburn lumber man, who was stabbed several weeks since by an infuriated Polander, has so far recovered as to be upon the streets. It will be remembered that his intestines were completely severed. During the fair at Goshen last week that city was infested with a bad gang of pickpockets, house-breakers and thugs. They did not get a very big haul in that locality, however, and put in most of the time fighting among themselves. ; :

Monday night last, Mrs. Haas, a widow residing near Fort Wayne, was attacked in her own residence by a couple of burly ruffians, bent on robbery. The old lady raised the alarm and the thieves fled, but not until they had nearly murdered their vietim. . - The Mingus ‘murder trial at LaGrange is still in progress, but will in all probability be closed this week. It will be remembered thut Frank Mingus murdered his mother-in-law last spring because she would not let his child go to a party. He is now trying to save his neck from the halter by working the insanity dodge. The Goshen Times reports that W. K. Mauer, of Elkhart, had two hives of bees which he killed and took from them two gallons of honey and put it in the woodshed. Neighboring bees took possession of the shed in such ;numbers that no person could approach the honey, and before night ithey _had carried off every particle of it. 5

A hive of bees belonging to J. H. Shuey, 1212 West Franklin street, swarmed yesterday afternoon, but the swarm turned out disastrous owing partly to the lateness of the season, but principally to the fact that the queen was too young to lead them and fell to the earth and died, being unable to fly. The swarm then attempted to enter five other hives, but the occupants turned on them, destroying the entire swarm. It is something very unusual for bees to swarm at this time of the year, and eveén if the queen had not died they would have starved to death in a short time, as they would have been unable to secure honey enough to live on a week.—Elkhart Truth, : ¢ ““The death of a man near Syracuse, Kosciusko county, Ind., from the sting of a bee,”’ says an exchange, “is regarded by physicians as one of the most . singular cases on record. He was stung on the nose by an ordinary honey bee, from one of his own hives, and died in ten minutes. The sting of a bee happens to have previously af fected him in & most singular manner-Thirty-two years ago he nearly died

from the effects of a sting, and as a result of his injuries at that time his pulse never beat faster thereatter than 45 pulsations to a minute. Men and eyen horses hayve been stung to death when attacked by large swrms of bees, but this is believed to be the first case in which a man has died from the sting of a single bee.”’ . S

Editor Smith, of the Pierceton (Kosciusko county) Record, who got unto a protracted spree some weeks ago and became involved in a racket with his wife, is now an inmate of the poor house of Kosciusko county, Whiskey, ‘the Fort Wayne Sentinal says, was his ruin. With good abilities, he went to that place and started a newspaper; and was getting along nicely. His old love for drink re-asserted itself and for a few years he led his youhg ‘wife a sorry life. She did her best to make him a man aud save him from ruin, but with a mad love for the intoxicant he went deeper and deeper into intamperance until, becoming a sot, she: was obliged to take charge of the business. She is now conducting the paper herself and is doing remarkably well. After leaving hef some weeks ago, she commenced divorce proceediogs against him and the suit is nowi pending in court. .

Lincoln in the Hospital.

- The following story about the great President Lincoln, which has only recently been published, is told by a Union soldier of the war of a quarter of & century ago: i

I had been in the Finley Hospital several months, said the soldier. One day in May, 1863, Presidént Lincoln and Secretary Chase walked into the ward where I was lying. ¥ou don't know how much good it didd us to see them, one gets so tired looking at the nurséband at the long row of cots. It is hard to lie on'a cot day after day and hear the boys moan, as their life ebbs away. Some morning you wake up and see an empty cot near you. *Number 6 is gone?”’ you say to the nurse. - <

‘“Yes, he went at three this morning, poor fellow! but it’s better for him,” she answers, in a sympathising voice. - :

. We boys, therefore, took solid comfort in looking at Lincoln’s face that afternoon, and in hearing him talk. He didn't say much to me that day, but it was good to hear him say anything, his words were so gentle and kind. And then he was as thoughtful as a mother; he knew just what to say.

I had been very sick. Yes, that sleeve’s empty. I left-the arm at Chattanooga. As I was saying, he spoke only a few words to me and passed on' to number 26. ' : 5

‘A Vernmont boy, a mere lad, not over sixteen, was on it. He had been wounded - mortally, and was near his end. Mr. Lincoln stopped at the cot, and taking the thin, white hand, said, in a tone that was as tender as a mother’s, *“My poor boy, what can I do for vou?'’ L :

With a beseeching look, the little féllow turned his eyes up at the homely, kindly face, and asked;, “Won’t you write to my mother for me?”

~““That I will,” answered the president, and calling for a pen, ink, and paper, he seated himself by the side of the cot. It was a long letter he wrote, at least three pages of commercial note, and when it was finished, the president rose, saying, “I will mail this as soon as I get back to my office. Now is there anything else that I can do for you?"”’ ~ e In some way the boy had come to know that it was the president,and so, looking at him in the most appealing sort of way, he asked, ‘“Won’t you stay with me till it’s all over? It won’t be long, and I do want to hold on to your hand!”’ : | That was too much for the great‘hearted president to resist. The tears ‘came to his eyes, and he sat down by ‘him, and took hold of his hand. The little fellow did not move nor speak a ‘word. This was some time before four ’o’clock. and it was long after six that ‘the end came. ;

But the president sat there ag if he had been the boy’s father. When the end came, he bent over and folded the thin hands over the breast, and then looked so sorrowfully at the pale, thin face. The tears streamed down his cheeks: nnheeded. We all cried, too.

Do you wonder that the ‘‘boys 1n blue” loved Abe. Lincoln?-—Religious Telescope. ; Eo o

From a letter written by Mrs.. Ada E. Hurd, of Croton, S. D., we quote: «“Was taken with a bad celd, which settled on my Lungs, eough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a short time. Igave myself up to my Saviour, determined. if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above.

1 , - P | -f s | Y skqQ‘@wuﬂi' . o\ - BakiNG Absolutely Pure. A.cream of tartar baking powder, Highest of all in leavening strength.—U., 8. Government Report, August 17th, 1889, % ‘ - Libby Prison in Chicago. A visit in Chicago is not complete unless the visitor has spent a few’hours iin that wonderful institution, so full of ‘patriotic memories, the Libby Prison ‘War Museum. It is barely a year since this famous old prison was re‘moved from its old home in Richmond, Va., to the "great World’s Fair metropolis, and yet in that short time it has been visited by nearly a quarter of a millidn people. One of the most interesting facts- in conmnection with this statement is the gratifying one that not one visitor has left the museum with any feeling of displeasure toward thie exhibit, but thousands were displeased beeause they did not have time enough to stay and study everything. In no: other place in America is there to be found such a grand exhibit of war relies, and it is alone#wdrth the price of admission to see the celebrated pld prison itself. During the war there were confined within its bare walls nearly 12,000 Union officers, and today the old structure stands as a monument to the patriotism of these heroes, and no more fitting home than this could be thought of for the thousands of valuable war relics it contajns. There are relics from every battle field, original manusecripts of personal letters, _ official documents, and war orders from such men as Lincoln, Grant, Hancock, : Sheridan, Sherman', McClellan, McPherson, Meade, Hooker and others from the North and from the pens of Gen. R. E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Alex, H. Stevens, Stonewall Jackson; Albert Sidney Johnson, Jubal Early, Beuregard, Thompson, Stuarr, Pickett and other famous men of the South. The walls of the old structure are -covered with life size oil portraits of these men, with battle scenes, camp life sketches,.war maps and other exhibits full of interest and instruction. Another interesting feature is the famous Yankee - tunnel through which 109 Union officers made their escape from this prison. Bul words cannot tell all there is to be seen in this museum. The Rev. Joseph Cook, the eminent Boston orater, says: It is an invaluable memorial.”” Prof. David Swing, one of Chicago’s most noted clergymen, says: ‘lt is liberal education. Millions ought to see it."’ B

. An Abundance of Quails, ¥ The Indianapolis Sun says that ¢¥" perienced hunters say that they’have not in twenty years seen quail so abundant in this state as this fall. The. season for shooting them opens QOct. 15 and lasts till Deec. 20, during which time there will probably be more hunters ‘out and more quail in the market than ever before. The abundance is due in a measure to the two open winters we have had, but mainly to the propitious conditions of the breeding season. - To see a youug quail, freshly hatched, :go scouting through the stubble, with some of the shell of the egg still clinging to his back, you would think that nothing could hurt him, as he is pretty tough. You seldom - hear of -his dying with consumption, and the measlesnever undermine his constitution, but heavy rains frequently drown out countless numbers of young ones, and the old ones become depressed with deaths in the family and raise only one covey in a ‘backward summer, while during such ‘a season as the present it is no trick at all to rear two broods.

The Battle of Gettysburg.

We beg leave to advise our readers to be sure and not forget to see the Panorama of the Battle of Gettyshure, while in Chicago during the Exposition. Take advantace of the low rates and see Gettysburg. There is no picture in the world like this of Gettysburg; no other picture presents sich a scope of country or gives such a thrilling representation of a battle.
