INDEPENDE NOE.

BY LITTLE DOT.

The xoung People’s Endeavor has closed for the present. We are glai to say that the young people of Independence are orderly and well behaved, but there are a few boys from other places (we will not name them)

that come to church, Sabbath School and Endeavor, that come here filled with filth from Rensselaer saloons. That their conconduct is so disgusting the heathen of South Africa or even the Comanche Indians would be ashamed of them. We don’t think the teacher ought to complain about the ink being wasted, for the poor fellow who swallowed it mistook the bottle for a glass of old rye. If the young ladies that were on the witness stand were not as beautiful as as fairies, we know they have too much self-respect, and praise good morals and virtue too much to be seen in company with such characters or the attorney that shields them from justice. We warn those boys and their parents in all kindness that forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. Mr. Hayes and daughter, from Clinton county, are the guests of Frank Hayes and family. The holidays are over and school this week as usual. Rev. Mcßride preached here Sunday afteVncon, Mrs. Driver and Mrs. Kessler are on the sick list. Bowman Switzer i* pte'wing now.

The New Air-Ship.

In a conversation with H. I. W Dam, reported in McClure’s Magazine for January, Hiram S. Maxim, in venter of the Maxim air-ship, said; “The principle I have worked on, generally speaking is that of the kite. The large cloth frame at the top of the model is the aeroplane, or main kite surface. The lesser aeroplane above the platform, or car; the side aeroplanes, or wings; and the flatpointed rudders, fore and aft, are designed to furnish additional kite surface. It is necessary to make it, however, so that we can run it in a calm, against the air, thus making our own wind, as it were; and for this purpose I have a railway track, and instead of cords to hold the kite against the wind, I employ a pair of powerful screw propellers driven by a steam engine. In this manner I can drive the machine exactly as I please, can ascertain exactly how much the push of the screws is, and at the same time find out exactly how much the machine lifts at different speeds. The machine is, in fact, a big kite. Should I fly it in the air with a cord during a strong gale and then run my engines, I should be able to find out how fast they would have to run in order to take all the pull off the cord. As soon as the cord became slack, the machine would be flying with its own engine power,”

“Romanism.”

Everett Halstead delivered two lectures at the court house, last Friday and Saturday evenings, on the subject of “Romanism.” We are not here to criticize, but in regard to a statement he made in which he said if he wanted an article published in the columns of this paper, he was compelled to sign his name to it. But, if “Observer,” who occasionally , contributes an article, and especially one on the Catholic church, that We printed some weeks ago, which Mr. Halstead referred to, his(Observer’s) name is omitted from the article. We desire to say for the benefit of Mr. Halstead, and all others, that NO contributed articles, it matters not what its nature is, will be published in the Pilot, unless the signature of the writer appears with it. As we hy. v, 2 said before, th&t Subject within rea«Otiibi§ bounds, could i be fiibcussed "through the columns of this paper, but that we were not responsible for the ideas of the writer. Mr. Halstead came to. us and wanted his articles published’, bt't hoi over his own, fiigfiKture. We do not i kfidw why. Further we do not care. We are trying to furnish a newspaper that will please, our readers, and by their united j help well do it* too. ,

Bianclic May Duvall,

Funeral bells are ringing today. Their sad tones proclaim the departure of soul from body to the land bcyohJ. The hand of tlte reaper, Death, reaches forth in this human garden and plucks from it loved plants. No effort can stay his ghastly harvest. His will is our will. Beloved friends and relatives, today are mourning the loss of a dear one—a veritable flower in this human garden. The blossom has paled, the stalk is broken, and the last slender fibre of life has departed-. Blanche May Duvall-, daughter of Q. W. and M. J. Duvall-, departed this life. January!, 1894. Aged years, 11 months 16 days. The cause of her death was congestion of the braih, brought about by complication of other disedsbs. At the time Of thd last attack, which occurred on Wednesday night of last week, littlb did her parents and friCnds thlhk that she was so neat death's door, but on Monday she succumbed to the inevitable, death. Her New Year’s resolution was a noble one—to live a better life. And alas! how true. How soon fulfilled. The funeral services occurred Wednesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church, her pastor, Rev. Baech, conducti ngthe services. The sympathy of loving friends was attested by generous display of floral tributes and their attendance at the last sad rites of the deceased. The high school, of which she was a student at the time of her death, attended in a body. Her classmates have appropriately draped her desk in the school room. Her place is now vacant. The following young men acted as as pall bearers: Chas. Cox. Vernon Nowels, Gay Nowels, Earnest Wishard, Hallie Flynn, Jack Leahy. After impressive services at the church, the friends and relatives followed her remains to its last resting place in Weston cemetery. The bereaved parents and friends have the sympathy of the entire community.
