ANNOUNCEMENTS. The Hon. James S. Dodge will be a Candidate for Circuit Judge for the 34th Judicial Circuit, subject to the decissiouof the Republican Judicial convention. F. D Merritt will be a candidate for Circuit Judge for the 31th Judicial Ciruit, subject to the decission of the Republican Judicial convention. TnE Democratic State convention will be held at Indianapolis Aug. 3d. Tiie Democrats expect to nominate a county ticket some time in August. ' Whatever may be its affect upon the Democratic party, as a people, let us all hope that Judge Parker’s letter of acceptance will contain that sterling worth in American manhood contained in his telegram to the St. Louis convention. Since the Republicans, Democrats, and Prohibitionists, all have millionaires for vice-presidential candidates there is little or no room for kicking on the part of men who don’t believe in men with millions—becauso they have less money themselves. _ .

The Walkerton Independent has entered upon its 30th volume. For IS years the paper has been under the direction of its present owner and publisher, Editor W. A. Endly. It is among the, very best country weeklies in this part of the State, a credit to its publisherand-to the town which is giving it liberal support. The announcement in a Chicago paper that the official warning to the riotous strikers of the packing houses was posted in five different languages, is suggestive. It is on aline to which this paper has directed attention for a number of years, that the foreignborn population eight times out of ten is the disturbing element in the labor market in late years. Tiie potato growers, in the absence of the destructive bug lastpeason, began to congratulate themselves that the pestiferous insect had its day as a crop destroyer. But, it seems that the potato bug is not to be disposed of by time limit. This season the hugs have come in increased numbers: at least this is the condition south of town in Kosciusko county. An exchange says that “theannual report, of the .insurance department of the State auditor's office, just issued, shows that the last year was a prosperous'one for the insurance companies in Indiana, an increase b?ing shown generally in all departments of insurance.” This will not strike the average business man who carries insurance in Nappanee as containing any surprises. The “notification” meeting of the Prohibitionists will take place at Indianapolis Friday, the 22d. Os course, their candidates for president, S. C. Swallow and G. W. Carroll, will meet the notification committee there, and there is to be a big time generally in the Prohibition camp, arrangements being made for several speakers of national renown, in addition to the speeches of acceptance. A number of prominent party workers from Nappanee and Elkhart county will attend. How easy to find fault with ones fellow men. Millions of men—no two alike in brain thinking or receptive qualities, at variance on every subject that affects the destiny of mankind—no wonder! Man is an apt pupil. Then why not avoid the school of antagonism? Simply be Brm in conviction in matters which the advantages of every individual affords at the same time according to every other person this right. In this spirit, which is not hy men acknowledged easy to maintain, people may avoid many disagreeable things in life. When Other Medicines Hive Failed take Foley’s Kidney Cure. It has cured when everything else has disappointed. Sold by J. S. Walters.

The Chicago Chronicle has announced that it will hereafter be an exponent of the Republican party. The Chronicle is a strong paper but with perhaps the smallest circulation of any amoDg the many Chicago papers. There is a reason for this. But few Democrats eared to longer read that paper because of its failure to support the party candidates when Bryan was leadiDg the Democratic hosts. (-Perhaps, since the change is announced, there will not be one copy of the Chronicle taken in Nappanee, unless some of the Tribune readers may make a change to that paper.

Universal approval will be accorded these views expressed by the Chicago Tribune: There is reason to believe that some railroad men think too, little of the safety of passengers. The chief engineer of signs of one great road says there are instances where trains “have to run by signals that are in a ‘stop’ position in order to do the business of the road,” and that if those trains were compelled to stop the “business of the company could not be conducted with proper dispatch,”—there would be "delays to traffic.” It is better that traffic should be dslayed often than that every now and then a carload or two of passengers should be killed. There should’be no trusting to luck in running railroad trains. TnANK heaven daily that at this time of the year you can enjoy nature. Be grateful that your life is cast where tree and shrub and flowering plant lend variety and perfume to your surroundings. Look out on the clear sky. the green trees, the broad landscape, the waterways and the cool fields and be glad you are not forced to endure the heat and stifling sensationsof alargecity, orcompelled to leave home if you would escape them. The city is not the place for humanity In the summer time. The walls and the verdureless outlooks arc restrictions to the soul and are deadening to aspiration. They overheat the body, they stifle the heart and they shorten life. The one who lives in the country village or small city has no conception of thelonging, the almost helpless misery of li e to rich and poor in a great city unless it can be relieved by frequent visits to the green shade of the parks or the more attractive beaut ies of untrained nature in the open country. Elkhart Review.

We note that butchers iu neighboring cities are,stating in the local papers that the strike of the Chicago packers will not affect their market supply of beef as they can obtain plenty of. country stock fit for the block!’ A Nappanee butcher, who does all the buying fotutbe principal market here, said J!6 tbe News that this is a mistake. That is, it is a mistake to say that there is plenty of butchers'stock iu tbe country. In the first place, it is not the season of the year for any such condition. The stall-fed stock is exhausted, and the grass-fed stock is in poor condition at this season of the year, always. This season the shippers have not sorted so closely, and the trend to scarcely is even greater than in previous seasons. Tbe Nappanee butchers depend on country stock, wholly, using no Chicago meats at all. This same gentleman says that those prime 9teers ready for the block are very scarce, that Jie only succeeded in getting two in a 40-mile drive last week, and these were at the Mary E. SeareT farm, and conditioned by constant winter feeding. He says it is only by picking here and there from numerous cattle that a butcher can find an animal fit for slaughter. These are usually cattle which have come through the winter in first-class condition and have kept up on grass. If tbe Elkhart, Goshen, and South Bend butchers are buying a great deal of butchers’ stock for slaughter to fill the place of large quantities of packers’ stock used in those cities, It is far from being first-class. A bunch of real good conditioned steers are an exception.

SIOO Reward SIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting natftre in doing its work. The proprietofi have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any ease that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

The changes which take place in metropolitan newspapers—shifting from one party to that of the other —have for a basic principle a commercial proposition. There is not the least doubt about this, in the minds of owners of newspapers, at least. Capital is not invested (large capital) on sentiment alone. Sentiment, of course, is a force in governing the acts of men in all walks of life, and nut unfrequently usurping the place of judgment. However-, there is a dividingline—a place where sentiment leaves off and business begins. Nor does this proposition interfere at all times—in fact, scarcely ever—with honor. Tbe only place where it brings ipto question the honor of capital so invested, is where a newspaper has obtained its patronage and commercial support on welldefined promises to support a certain political organization under all circumstances—the latter an implied promise, perhaps—and, at the beginning of a campaign to cbaDge its policy under cover and try to lead its readers into the opposite party ranks. However, these political organs in the great commercial centers are now an exception to the news disseminating business, though it is true, that a Dumber of them are always relied upon by the political organizations to support platforms and candidates. There only remains true individuality in the rural district papers, nere it is almost impossible to eliminate it. In fact, it is what the people buy and what they expect to receive for their money. It is what the people formerly Sought in the big city papers, but an element that no longer obtains in late years, excepting in very rare cases.

Believed to Have Attempted Sufcide. Frank Hodson, a man who a few months ago moved from Mishawaka to Elkhart, and whose father committed suicide two years ago, is believed to have attempted suicide, one week ago yesterday, by throwing himself into tbe St. Joe river. People passing over Main street bridge were directed toward Hodson by his cries. When found he was in only about two feet of water and was too drunk to help himself, though he had managed to keep his head above water by its resting on some obstruction in the river. One story is, that Hodson, who was a brakeman in the employ of the Lake Shore, was paid off that day and was robbed and thrown into the river. Another is suicide. The -story supporting the last theory is that a letter was found on his person bidding his friendsgoodby and directing where to send his body. The note, which scrawled over an entirs page and shows a lack of education in every line, reads: "lam with money and with friends. Please return me to South Bend, Ind., 708 South Michigan street. Frank Hodson.” It evidently means that tbe writer considered that he was without money and friends and wished bis body sent to the address given. A Mrs. Easterwood, who had been seen a great deal with Hodson, denies the story of attempted suicide and pronounces the note a forgery, nodson offers no explanation of the note, but says he probably fell into the river while having an epileptic fit to which he is subject. Drowned at Mishawaka. A dispatch from Mishawaka says two Italians, Mardi and Ferrio, were drowned in the St. Joseph river at that place on Sunday the bodies have not been found.
