The stalT of life is universally admitted to be bread. It then stands to reason that we should buy the best. The La Porte street Bakery has the reputation of keeping the very best. The Mayor of Valpo, ordered all gambling houses in that city closed Saturday night. What a shock this order must have created among those who s vear by this classic city in all things. The papal discrimination against secret societies has had very little effect. The different secret orders of the State report that very few Catholic members have dropped from their ranks. Valpo Star.

Wilcox who is employed at Kendall's Book Store was stricken with paralysis. At the time it was thought that it would result fatal, but he recovered from the shock sufficiently to evade a

second stroke. At latest reports he is resting easy being able to converse with friends. Mr. Wilcox many friends hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. J. C. Talbot will remove to Peru,

Ind., in a short time, where he will enter into the lumber business. It is with regret we see one of our foremost business men seek a new field of labor. The city of Peru, will in Mr. Talbot, receive quite an acquisition to her business interest. The weather of the past week has pro duced a stagnation in all lines of busi ness in Plymouth. The farmers are at tending strictly to business. Only one desire seems to be known among us to make this weather a fit companion for a paradise on earth, and that is a good steady soaking rain. The fruit trees throughout this por tion of the State are loaded with blos soms, preparatory evidence of an abun dant crop of fruit. Reports are numer ous regarding a small blue insect that prevades the blossom, especially upon the apple trees; yet no indication of much damage has presented itself. A mysterious runaway, down Michigan street Saturday night, was the topic of conversation, by those living along this modern and classic avenue. It occured about eleven o'clock, and roused all the dogs along the route. We have not learned who the party was, nor the distance covered before the team was brought to a stand still. "My good man," said a severe lady, have you ever stopped to think how much money is wasted every year for rum and tobaccos" "No, mum, I hain't got to it yet it's taking all my time just now to figure out how many poor families could be supported off the price of the extra cloth women put in their sleeves." Alas! How true. Anderson and Hansen are still doing a large business in their cigar trade. The lirst of last month they had on hand 3,050 cigars, manufacturing the past month lS'O, selling 17.ÖÖ0. They are working four hands and if their trade increases in the future in proporto the past month, they will be compelled to double their force. John Wolford has commenced the erection of two commodious store rooms on Center street, the foundation being rapidly pushed this week. Mr. Wolford will also in a short time begin the work on four residences. Thus we see that some of our patriotic citizens realize the needs of our city and follow up their convictions by action. Pete Kruyer, who for a number of years has been the main stay of the composing room of the Democrat oliice, has accepted a more lucrative position by going on the road for the firm of Cooley A: McDonald. Pete's experience in newspaper work gives him the ability to handle paper stock satisfactorily; and no doubt as a "knight of the grip" he will prove a success. " A young man of Bryan, Ohio, recently got married to the girl of his choice. On Monday they went to a furniture store, and selected their furniture. They arranged their purchase carefully and while viewing their work with satisfaction, the young husband became quite ill, and before morning was a corpse. On Tuesday the furniture was exchanged for a coffin. Chief Myers received a telegram from Sheriff Kidder of Elkhart county Saturday last, calling his attention to the desire of having a young fellow by the name of Calvin Beck, who he wanted for larceny arrested. Mr. Myers, aftera thorough search found the young felloe at the Novelty Works about nine o'clock that night. He was arrested and returned to Goshen Monday. A temporary organization of a Y. M. C. A. was formed at the meeting held at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon last. It is expected that a permanent organization will be formed in the near future. The officers elected were: Frank Hale, president; S. W. Rothenberger, vice president; Frank Van Gilder, secretary; E. S. Brooke, treasurer. The next meeting will occur Sunday afternoon at 3:30 at the M. E. church. J. A. Molter our real estate dealer and Jas. Henninger, one of Marshall county's prominent farmers, left Tuesday last for Atlanta, Georgia. These gentlemen will look over land in that immediate neighborhood, then go to La Grange, seventy miles from the capital where 00,000 acres of good farming land lies in wait for the tillers of the soil. Mr. Molter, if the land is as represented will accept the agency for this section of the State. They will return in about ten days. The editor of the Republican is at it again. We wonder what is tho matter with him. Surely his liver is deranged. He worries over the subscription list of the Independent and its ability to figure on job work, etc. He has become so completely non plused to find that the sly insinuations cast out against this paper have not produced fruit in the way of a complete colapse, that he frantically continues to scratch around to find new material to work upon, lie has also been so indiscreet as to interview those who are not bitterly opposed to the Independent, desiring to know if it was not a feasible conclusion to arrive at, that the Independent was about to retire from the field, simply because it did not bid on the county printing. We dislike to disappoint those

M. LAUER & " ONE PRICE who are so deeply interested in our ability to survive such sarcastical utterances this brilliant scissor editor is giving us. We hope by close application to our business, and a few well shaken doses of Xervura, to be able to survive his attaeks. That soap story from Twin Lakes has reached Etna Green and Brother Carter is roasting the participants in the so called "outrage." lie further says if that man had stole a million dollars, he would have been honored by all the courts. There is more truth than poetry in that assertion Friend Carter. A fourteen-vear-old bov who was called as a witness in a New York city court, admitted that he had never heard of God. There are only too good reasons to beiieve that hundreds of b-ys in the large cities are growing up in similar ignorance and without any religious instruction. That such a state of affairs can exist in progressive American cities is deplorable, but it emphasizes tho need of better and more comprehensive missionary work at home. The alarm of lire Wednesday was brought about by a small blaze at the Novelty Works. The shavings that accumulate were wheeled out and dumped near the engine house. The heat caused the shavings to ignite and when discovered was gaining considerable headway. The lire protection at the Works are very proficient, having two lines of hose. The signal was given for pressure, but not understanding the call the engineer sounded the fire alarm. The lire was put out before the department started for the scene. Any man can take a newspaper. It is the cheapest thing he can buy. It costs a little more than a postage stamp. What good does it do you? It instructs you and your wife and children. It comes to you every week rain or shine calm or storm, bringing you the news of the neighborhood. No matter what happens, it enters your door as a welcome friend, full of sunshine, cheer and interest. It shortens the long summer days, and enlivens the long winter nights. It is your adviser, gossip and friend. No man is just to his wife and children who does not give them the home paper to read. Notwithstanding the law against fishing in lakes, and the recent admonition given to parties for fishing in Lake Maxenkuckee, it is authentically reported that parties are still continuing these depredations at that lake. It is also stated that at night, the gleam of numerous lights can be seen.used by those spearing fish. This matter should be attended to immediatedly. If it is against the law, let those who are wilfully disobeying, be punished. If it is not against the law, let it be so announced, so that everyone who desire to enjoy the pastime of fishing can utilize the same opportunities. A paper published not far from here received a letter from a young lady, whose note paper was ornamented with a picture of birds dying through a wreath of llowers, in which she asked: "Is there any way of boiling cabbage that will not fill the house with the unpleasant odor?"' The entire staff suspended operations to wrestle with this burning question, and finally announced that a rubber shoe, "if cooked in the same kettle with the vegetables in question, will so complicate the resulting fragrance that it becomes rather an object of interest and curiosity than an excuse for fault-finding." We note some times an exchange when it appears upon our table, looking as though it has passed through a terrible ordeal. It is the custom of newspaper men to use their soiled copies for their exchanges. This is alj right, and when received, is not commented upon for the above reason. But there are publications that go weekly to the homes of subscribers that are hardly readable. A newspaper man makes a great mistake when he presents to his readers such a paper. No matter how important the reading matter may be, the good results are not forthcoming

SON., t OUTFITTERS." when an ill printed paper is presented . to its readers. A neat clean printed paper will overcome its lack of news, while a dim, blurry sheet will be cast aside with disgust. It is an eye s-re to its readers and a dissatisfaction to its advertisers. Dunfee, a small station on the Nickel Plate R. R. a short distance fr-m Ft. Wayne, was the scene of a bold and daring robbery. Three highwaymen wearing masks entered the ofiice, e-mi-pelledthe operator o. S Smith, to throw up his hands. Then they made hin: open the safe, taking all the money they could lind, tearing up the tickets and scattering them all over the otlice. A ! freight train coming into the stati- :i j was signaled to go through without j stopping, alter which they i'.uished their i work, Thev t a gold watch and all j the money Smith bad on his per- -n tht-n j quietly walkid out of b w:i. A large ! force of armed men are on their track ; and iio doubt will s.- n unvst tU m. Nothing so mueh causes ill assorted marriages and mischievous results as making -old maid" a term of reproach. ! Manv crirls have be-n hurled into matrii j mony by the dread of being so stigmajtized and have repented the step to ! their dving dav. Manv women can give more honorable reasons for living out side the temple of Hymen than their foolish sisters can for having rushed in Some have never found their ether selves. Providential circumstances may have prevented the junction of these selves, and is net a life of loneliness more honorable than a loveless marriage? Is not single blessedness preferable to double cussedness? There are many women who laid down their hopes of wedded bliss for the sake of accomplishing some good. In such cases singleness is an honorable estate. There is a work for woman in the world, married or single, as wife, mother, sister, daughter or friend. A young man who had long been absent called upon two beautiful young ladies of his acquaintance. One came quickly to meet him in the neat yet not precise attire in which she was performing her household duties. The other, after a lapse of half an hour, made her stately entrance in all the primness of starch and ribbons, with which, on the announcement of his entrance, she had hastened to bedeck herself. The young man, who had long been hesitating as to his choice between the two, now hesitated no longer. The cordiality with which the first hastened to greet him and the charming carelessness of her attire entirely won Ids heart. She is now his wife. He was a sensible man. Take warning from this: Never be afraid to see a friend because you are in your working gown. No true gentleman will think less of you because he finds you. in the performance of your duty, and he will think all the more of you if you are not ashamed to let it be known. "A vulgar display of mawkish affection used to be the unkind comment that came so often from kindly folk at the sight of women kissing in public. 'Tis (Hid enough, but since her Majesty, Queen Fashion has announced that she not only approves, but recommends, kissing in public, no one hears on any hand the old sneer at the affectionate demonstration. Tis the fashion now to kiss one's hostess when calling, to kiss one's guests women guests, of course who arrive for an informal cup of the best Oriental brew or for a stately dinner party. (Jive the salute lightly, like the touch of a butterfly's wing, just in the center of the cheek; give it the soft 1 sound of swaying silk draperies or fall ing rose-petals, holding one hand of the woman you kiss. Only salute relatives on the lips; older women kiss young girls ou the brow. On the street it is perfectly proper to kiss a woman through your veil; or very prettily the kiss is given by lifting the gauze a bit and pressing a little kiss on jour companion's chin, just below her lip.
