The Weather. About the weather I wish to state That sweltering heat does not abate Strange it is to, to relate That there's no prompting for debate On the weather's torrid state At morning, noon or evening late. Men have but time to mop their brows Boys swelter when they drive the cows Few people now take marriage vows It is too hot for family rows Out torn cat in the cellar meows And cattle will not go to browse. Heat pours down most firey hot With foretaste of a future lot And fills potatoes with dr y rot. McKinley is now said to be the republican favorite in Kansas for presidential nomination. A hoy nine years old was recently blown up into a tree by an explosion of gas in an alcohol barrel. This is one of the few instances on record where alcohol has had an elevating effect. The wealth of the United states is more than a fourth as great as that of all the rest of the world put together. So reports Professor Francois, a student of political economy, in a recent number of Monde Moderne, a French publication. The phrase "almighty dollar" was first used, so far as known, by Washington Irving. It has since passed into general employment to indicate the worship of wealth, both in this country and in England. Theke is a three cornered doctor's war in Chicago between the representatives of the allopath, homeopath and eclectic schools. With the hot weather and the fight of the medicine men the patients of Cook county hospital are not doing as well as should be expected. An important tariff decision has been rendered by the acting secretary of the treasury. If you are abroad, and while there get a new wooden leg and come into port in the United States wearing that leg fast strapped to you, you need not pay any duty on it. We hope this news will be welcome to our readers. South Uend Times. Seckktaky Caulislk has directed that hereafter the United States Hag shall be hoisted on all public buildings under the control of the treasury department during the hours of business, unless stormy weather prevents its display. The revenue Hag is also to be displayed over custom houses. There is something soal-inspiring in the sight of the glorious stars and stripes, hence this display will be pleasing to patriotic citizens throughout the land. Ex. Dk. A. P. IJ. Uozarro, the great wiz ardo and autocrat of a Chicago west side philanthropical and humanitarian society; Dr. Hozarro, manufacturer of a great cure-all; ISozarro, who was the mysterious Smith of Coxey's army; he of the long hair, stridant step, piercing eye and commanding mein, has shuffled off "this mortal coil" by the morphine process of spiritual and corporal disintegration, lie affected the cowboy style of dress. His hair was black and coarse and hung in a flowing mass over his square shoulders. His head was full of wheels and he was a man of many schemes and aspirations. Although mis-guided and now a suicide, Bozarro's life was not altogether in vain for he was in advance of the civic federation in tjying to effect needed municipal reforms in Chicago. He is now gone to that great ; bourne whence no traveler returneth, and such is the end of Iiozarro. Partisan Papers. Our neighbor Endley, of the Walkerton Independent, at times strikes out from the shoulder in a manner that is truly remarkable. In the issue of that paper to-day he gives a few points upon partisan papers. Among other thing he says: "Some of our smart, bitterly partisan papers are just now arguing that a newspaper must necessarily he out spoken as to politics: must advocate one side or the other, in other words, muse meuuie, uabble, lie, mix in, inter fere, kick up disturbances, agitate the public, nose about, render itself obnoxious, etc., etc., or else it's no paper. Just what business a paper in a small town, whose business it is to give the news and do the advertising for the citizens thereof, and whose duty it is to represent all in a town too small to support two papers, has to meddle with polities, admits of no answer but "None at all." Those papers ifrhat have been bitterly add senselessly partisan, to the extent of rendering themselves disgust ing in the eyes of about one-half of the community in which they circulate, be long to that class of people and things to which the old saying strictly applies, "Misery lover, company. 1 hey there fore want to see every newspaper that can they hear tell of dragged down to a level with themselves.

Another Scalp for the Maroons. Fruni Saturday's Daily. A very small crowd greeted the players at the ball park yesterday. It was a sweltering dav to sit in the boiling hot sun for three straight hours but those who were there felt well repaid for their trouble. The Xappanecs are ball players and gentlemen and took de feat gracefully but fought to the last minute as shown in the ninth, lleebe pitched a cracker jack game and would have made the game much shorter but lacked somewhat in support. He lias a line delivery and is very swift. The visitors found him in the first, but he warmed up in the second and struck out three straights, in all he pitched an elegant game up to the ninth inning, when he tired, and Capron took the box, after one man was out and seven scores had been run in soon ending the game by striking out liosbrough, and Tobias fowled out to Wachler. Wächter played a good game but was totally unacquainted with lleebes delivery and could not give the support that he might have, had they had a little practice together. Cleveland distinguished himself in Center by raking in several llies in his old time way and did fair at bat. Huffman as a slider bids fair to vie with the famous Kelley, for honors, stealing at every opportunity. In the 5th he made a one base hit, stole second, third, and finally home,siuling at every base. In the sixth Capron being disabled .lack Kirk batted for him as substitute and run in the only score of the inning getting two bases on a one base hit, stole third and went home on a passed ball. There wasn't a man in either team who didn't score at some point in the game. .Jacobs delivery for the visitors was weak after the first two innings and the .Maroons pounded him for four scores, in the third. In the fifth they changed, V. Hisong going into the box ami was pounded out to time of live. In the sixth they changed again putting in Schröck who held it down pretty well to the end of the game. Errors were scarce and the Maroons were well in the lead in every respect up to the last half of the ninth when lleebe commenced to get tired and then visitor found him regular. It was then that the whole team got rattled and pik'd up errors like a hay stack and the visitors run in seven scores. Capron took the box at this point and with the support of Wächter saved the game. In all it was an interesting and exciting game, Uelow is given the score by innings.

Newspaper Advertising. The fact that advertising ays a large profit on the investment required has been so often demonstrated I y practical business men that it would hardly be strengthened by mere assertion. With this in mind it is ditlicult to understand whyniany non-advertisers do not change their tactics and enter the lists with their more progressive brethren. It is lard to break away rrom old curtons. Many are convinced that it would pay them to largely increase their advertis ing expenditures but with the press of other matters defer the time of beginning from month to month and from year to year until finally it seems too ate to make any new departure and the subject is dropped until the time conies when the management changes and new blood picks it up again. There are many indifferent advertis ers who with a slightly increased effort could distinguish themselves as liberal advertisers ami consequently as more than ordinrrily successful business men. There is no business man who can alford not to study seriously the importance of newspaper advertising by which it is possible to largely in crease the receipts in all departments at a comparatively small addedexpense. Bad Habits. The bad habits of some of the boys of Uochester are reflected in an article which we clip from the Jiepublican of that city. Publishers Hitters have taken the evil in hand anil we have no doubt they will soon drive it out altogether. The article will apply in almost any city. It is as follows: There are several young men in Uochester who are creatine a future hell for themselves by playing cards for money. Don t you know that the card habit is as unconquerable as the whiskey habit and that it is just as certain to work your ruin? Of course you know it just as well as though you had already experienced, the pangs of tor ment it creates, but you are already in the toils and you have not the courage to let go. In tact you are ellectually hypnotized and every time you say you will not play again you already feel that you will, and a lew hours afterwards you are wishing for an opportunity. The way to stop is to stop, and the sooner you stop the better it will be lor your present and future welfare. Sparring Match at Bremen. Tht sparring match advertised to take place at Armory hall in Bremen last night in which 1'red (Ireenburg, of this city and Vern llardenbrook, of Walkerton were the principals resulted in a victory for llardenbrook. There were about 250 spectators present and it seemed to be the general impression that the match was given away by the referee. That (ireenburg had agreed to strike no heavy blows but simply confined himself to points where llardenbrook

blazed away at every opportunity and the match was decided in his favor. It was an eight round match with six ounce gloves governed by Marquis of Queensberry rules, and covered a period of two hours and thirty minutes. A Day of Rest. The clothing merchants of this city have resolved to make Sunday a day of rest as it should be. There is hardly a business place, with the exception of restaurants and hotels, that ought not to be closed oi Sunday. Sunday closing works no hardship on the buying public, for when it :s once known that purchases must be made on one of the six week days purchasers will supply their needs accordingly and all will recognize the justice ami fairness of Sunday closing. Merchants and their employees will then have one day of seven for rest, recreation and the society of their families and friends. He Tucked. A funny incident happened a few days ago o.i a Chicago cable car. A couple of young ladies boarded a car and presently the wind whisked away one's handkerchief, depositing it upon the abdomen of a portly man who was reading a newspaper. The young ladies blushed and hesitated, while the passengers smiled at their confusion; but this was not all. The porth passenger happening to look upnoticed the amusement of the others, and glancing down over his bay window caught a glimpse of the dainty cambric. lie evidently thought lie had discovered the meaning of the smiles and glances: for he retreated as much as possible behind his paper, assumed an indifferent air and proceeded to tuck the kerchief away where it should have been if it were the lower end of a garment only the bosom of which is diseernable in polite society. The car roared and the girls alighted at the next stop. A young gentleman of this city vouches for the truth of the above story, being an eye witness of the occurance. Columbia Citv Mail.

Delayed. The finishing work on the new Kuhn building is being retarded by a delay on the part of the Detroit glass dealers who are to furnish the large plate glass for the front. Kuhn & Son are still hopeful of opening their clothing store on August 21, which is one week from today. Large shipments of goods have already arrived and great boxes of new goods are piled about promiscuously over the floor. White muslin now takes the place of glass in the front of their store as it does also in the market of Fred Kuhn. The delay is annoying to all parties concerned and it is hoped by all that it may not be long con tinued. " The Indian Uprisings." IVkin (111.) Time. Men who say " there is no good In dian but a dead one" are types of the lawless settlers of .Jackson's Hole who are now engaged in the pleasant pastime of murdering the red men. From the time America was discovered the Indians have been treated as now. When white men reachad this beautiful continent then began a reign of blood and lust the details of which make men despise the explorers, who despite their awful crimes are held to be famous, and suspect latent savagery and treachery in his fellow man. His tory hoids no more villainous tales than the extermination of the Caribs, the murder or Peruvians and the slaughter of Mexicans. There has never been a change in the program then arranged. When Europeans began to settle in North America the same treachery was noted. The conquerors of Central and South America and the Indias had able imitators in Florida, and the Knghsh who settled in the more northern latitudes needed no lessons in the violation of women and the maltreatment of men. Kvery " Indian war" was caused by resentment of some wrong by whites, or at least instances of aggression by red men are extremely rare. They fought savagely, tortured mercilessly, but no mercy was shown them and not the least regard given to the most sacred treaties with them. American Indians have suffered four centuries of dreadful abuse. Is it any wonder, then, that they are degraded? But even in their degradation they are shining examples of manhood beside such men as those who have driven them from reservation to reservation because the rascally drivers wanted their land and abused and murdered them to get it; infinitely superior beings to the reptiles of Jackson's Hole, who murdered Uannoeks for doing just what white men did; noblemnen compared with the creatures who think they ought so be exterminated because they are lazy and shiftless. If by some vis itation of heaven the whole brood of corrupt politicians responsible for these crimes could be wiped out the event would involve nothing but good to the country and prevent future murders of Indians. The soul of any man revolts at the suggestion that the Indians should be exterminated and the perse cuted Bannocks should be saved if there is any manhood left in the United States.

EULLET IN HIS HEART Startling Tragedy at : Quiet Chesterton. l.ulVrte IleraM. The town of Chesterton has been in a furore all day and a mob has threatened to tear a youthful murderer limb from limb. Will Treadbis, a voung man not yet reached his majority, was shot through the heart, and was instantly killed about 8 o'clock this morning, by Lon Bowers, a fellow but little his victim's senior. Sheriff Stoddard, of i Valparaiso, was called to and arrived on the scene but a very short time after the taking place of the tragedy and it is said that his presence alone prevented a lynching. Treadbis, the murdered man, is very well connected and has lived in Chesterion all his life. On the other hand. Power, the murderer, has lived in the

town but a short time and his character is said to be anything but clean lie has been living at the home of an old lady bearing the same name as himself and it has always been thought that lie was her step son. This, however, is not known to e a fact. Mrs. Bowers is respectable in every sense of the word. The tragedy happened on one of the principal street of the town and right where there were several eye-witnesses to the crime. Just how the quarrel started no one knows but there were some high words and then Bowers drew a revolver and fired two shots in quick succession at Treadbis. The first bullet passed directly through the left breast, the leaden missle lodging in his heart. The second bullet also struck him in the breast. The first shot however, caused instant death. A crowd hastily gathered and upon seeing what had been done they became exited and threats began to run rife against the murderer's life. Some were not silent about the matter but called loudly to " hang him," "mob him" and "rid the town of the dastard." A constable was soon on the scenee and took the murderer in tow. There is no jail in the town so the prisoner was taken to a room near by and locked in, the constable and several deputies standing guard to prevent any harm from com mg to the prisoner. When the sheriff arrived tho nrisoner was turned over to him and vas taken to Valparaiso. The af.air has started a lively run of gossip in the town and it is feared that something more will come of the shooting. The Gentlemanly Burglar. F.d. Witwer was busy working in his barber shop near the Pittsburg depot until 12:30 o'clock Saturday night. Shortly after he left, a pane of glass was taken out of the front window and some one entered evidently expecting to make a haul. They carefully laid the glass on top of the cigar case where it was safe from breakage and pro ceeded to go through things. There are two drawers where tools are kept and one of them is sometimes used for a cash drawer in the day time This one was broken open, but there was no money in it and the tools were not dis! turbeu. A spy glass, a few cigars and some papers of no value to anyone but the owner were all that were taken, but they made considerable trouble by stirring things up generally. However no particular damage was done and Mr. Witwer wishes to return thanks for that. This is the third time within a year that the place has been entered and Mr. Witwer says if the fellow will make himself known he might arrange to have key left where he can get it handy and make a tour of inspection without making either of them so much trouble. Nothing of Rvalue is left in the shop over night. A Utilitarian. A merchant of Joliet, 111., was recently arrested on charge of disorderly con duct. He had been making a display of merchandise on the sidewalk in front of his store. As the result of an altercation over this with the city authorities lie was arrested. He is to be tried to-morrow before a justice and while trouble brews he is determined to do some advertising for his largo department store. He will therefore utilize his trial to that end by engaging the Joliet Theatre so that there may be plenty of room for the accommodation of the public. He expects to show by comparative logic that he was justified in using part of the sidewalk, to enlist the public sympathies and to thereby achieve a victory in the way of increased business. This simply shows how some shrewd, progressive men press everything into line as contributing to ultimate success. Heard on the Street. Dramatis Personae Tall young man and short young lady.

The "soda drawn" expression again lulled Claud's water colored eyes as they turn and disappear through the door leading to that haven of cooling drinks. Fx. Prisoner Escapes. A week ago Saturday, the day of a big Yandalia excursion to Marmont and Lake Maxenkuckee, Marshal dandy of Marmont arrested Theodore Cross a man from the east side of the lake, on a charge of drunkenness. The marshal took his prisoner to the calaboose and locked him up, as he thought, securely. Uut the plans of the wisest men may not work out now ana then. At 8 o'clock Sunday morning Mr. ( Jandy went to the .village lock-up to supply its occupant with water and found him there a prisoner still. He then went to the depot to mail a letter and on his way back stopped to see that everything was secure and found that the bird had down. A cell window had been pried out with a crow bar an justice had been defeated by the aid of an accomplice on the outside. Last Saturday Prosecutor Houghton of this city received telegraphic advices that the prisoner had been re-captured and a request to come down at once. He acted accordingly only to lind when he arrived at Marmont that the prisoner had escaped a second time having been permitted to escape in the same manner as before, notwithstanding that Marshal (landy had taken the precaution to place a guard at the village prison to make it doubly secure. Cross has not yet been re-captured. To add spice to this store it is asserted that certain prominent and intluentml citizens of the vicinity are implicated in these escapes. Marshal (landy is credited with having discharged his duty conscientiously. An official investigation is being made. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. The canning factory at Xappanee is preparing to commence work. Carl Heynolds has entered his horse Nibs in the .' minute class race at Maxenkuckee fair. Dr. Durr is breaking ground for a new residence just south of the high school building. The greatest nuisance in any town is the feller who loafs around and tells every newcomer or visitor what a poor place it is. A base ball game for the championship will be played at the Maxenkuckee fair grounds August 22, by Plymouth vs. Hremen. Misses Anna Z. Houghton and Delia Ogelsbee leave Saturday for Ligonier where they will visit Mrs. J. II. (Jreen for some time. The News of Xappanee, says that several hundred people witnessed the game of ball between their home team and Plymouth. The only way to get gold dollars for (JO cents is to invest the latter in the judicious use of printer's ink, says an exchange. "What are your prospects V" said the fond father to his prospective son-in-law. "That all rests with you sir," earnestly replied the modern matrimonial aspirant. The Catholic church at Walkerton will dedicate a new bell Aug. 31st, and also consecrate a new cemetery. Dinner upon this occasion will be served in liehren's grove. John W. Haugher, says the Walkerton Independent has finished the arrangments, whereby his saw mill at Tyner, will be removed to that city. It will be located on the old creamery ground. The barn and all its contents, owned by Chas. Holmes, six miles west of Walkerton, was destroyed by fire Monday night. Nine head of horses and part of his last years crop were consumed. The loss amounted to S2.000 partly insured. A small sized blaze excited the inhabitants of South Walnut street Saturday evening. The summer kitchen of the house occupied by Nathaniel Hoyer caught fire from a defective Hue, but was soon extinguished with only slight damage and without sounding an alarm. Too many of man and womankind take a sort of delight in trouble. This is a growing habit. Men commence by grumbling at trilling woes and end by manufaturing troubles to such an extent and howling about them so continually that they become positive nuisances. A justice of the peace at Perkinsville, Ind., married his first couple the

other day, and this is the way he titd the nupital knot: "Them as this court has joined together let no man put asunder, but let little children come unto them. So help me (Jod." It must be pleasant for some of our prominent fanners and business men who sometimes stop for a few moments in front of the Model building tobe classed as loafers and loungers, as stated this week by the Democrat. (I. A. Koontz has resigned his position with W. V. Hill ,v Son. and will till he position of night agent at the Pittsburg depot during the absence of .lohn Miller, after which he is arranging for an overland trip tl irouih the south.

l.all vv Carabin have inaugurated a great clearance sale preparatory to t:.e making of extensive improvements which will be begun Mondav. To-mor-row will be the last day of this sale. They are ollering many choice bargains. Postmaster .Tilson is now dea'ing out a new form of money orders to all applicants. The new order is smaller ami more conveniently handled than the old one. I'ncle Sam is wide to the interests of his nephews and nieces all the time. John 1 luge's many friends will be pleased to learn that the Physician lie visited at Chicago gave him much encouragement, claiming that he can be brought back to at least a reasonable degree of health with probable ultimate recovery. A little son of David Anglemeyer near Xappanee, received severe injuries on the head Tuesday last, by being stepped on by a horse, lie was on the animal and fell off, the horse planting its foot upon his face. The little fellow is only four and a half years of age. An exchange says that a young lady in Dixon, Illinois, recently sangatouehing ballad al a private recital and when her friends told her she had such a lovely voice she sang: "Mid play sure sand pal aces through weme rome, be it ever so whom bil! there snow ply sly comb." There was not a dry eye in the house and the light llickered in the lamp. KIiPippinger.au old citizen of this county, died at his residence near Ulissville, Saturday night, Aug. 17th at S o'clock, of a complication of diseases, incident to Iii age, being .i yens of age. The funeral was held at the Ulissville church at A o'clock Sunday afternoon with interment at the cemetery at that place. There will be about forty C.A.K men of this place go to the national encampment at Louisville, Ky., next month. All those who intend to go should leave their names with W Kelley at Kendall's book store. A special car will be used by the Plymouth veterans and their friends. The fare for t he round trip will be Sl.'0. "The law forbids any pensioner, says an exchange, from bargaining, selling or promising his quarterly pension to any dealer or other persons before due and paid, and also on the other hand all persons are forbidden by law to accept the same in any man ner as security for credit or otherwise. This line is fixed at SlOO for any violation of the act and is equal upon the soldier or dealer." What is sorely needed in all classes of society is a curb on slander and back biting, making gossip a social siu as well as bad form. People who are aiming to improve their minds and grow in knowledge with the age are not tho ones whose tongues run at random They lind too much of interest in the world of art, literature and science to claim their attention and words to waste their time recapitulating the shortcomings, doings and misdoings of their neighbors and their friends, W. K. Harden had a "chilly" experience recently while making hay on his marsh. He was working in his bare feet when he stepped with his righf foot onto something that felt like a snake. Moving the other foot away so the object, if it proved to be a snake, could not strike at him, he lifted his right foot up as quickly as possible an jumped away. It proved to be a ratth about four years old and wos coiled up in such a manner that the weight his foot prevented it from striking. is unnocessary to say that Mr. Harden experienced some very "creepy" feelingwhen he realized the situation. I Io lost no time in killing the snake. Walkerton Independent. The Pennsylvania Railway company has been made the defendant in a case for damage in which William C.
