WALKERTON, IND., APRIL 9, 1887 Miller, the deputy marshal at Peru, Ind., knocked down and kicked to death, Emerick, the owner of the opera bouse at that place, Tuesday. Mes Krettchner, of Bulgeport, Conn., recently gave birth to a child which has an elephant’^ head and a short trunk. She visited a menagerie last winter, and was frightened by the elephants. ’’How styles have changed since I was a girl,” said an old lady. “When I was young we used to wear our dresses up to the neck, and gloves with only one button. Now they wear the gloves up to the neck and only one button on the dress. At the coming town election in Stockton, Kan., all the candidates, including mayor, council, etc, are women, and only women will vote. The men are going to stand aside aud let the women run things awhile to see how woman suffrage works. Goshen News: Ou Saturday Dr. Stonebrake, of Wakarusa, was in town with two pairs of grey hounds hitched to a small wagon, which attracted considerable attention. The dogs haul him over the ground in a hurry. He says he has covered 46 miles in a half a day with them. After marrying his daughter to Mr. Allen E Don nan, Rev, Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn, said to the groom: “You have taken the brightest flower of our affection. She has left the support of my arm to lean upon yours. Your family shall be her family; your ways shall be her ways; your Gud shall be her God.” Advertise and draw custom to your town. It is asserted by some that it does not pay to adverting. Then why is it that people go to other towns to buy “bargains” offered in the papers published in those towns? Why do people go to South Bend, Plymouth and elsewhere to buy the same goods that they can get at home for the same money? Ask them and they will aay, “Why, I didn't know I could get them here.” “But bow,” you ask, “did you know you could get them at the other town? “Oh, 1 take a paper from that town and saw the goods advertised in it at low figures so 1 went there and bought.” Had they known that they could have purchased the same goods at home for the same or less money they would have done so.—Ex. Mules live to be sixty years of age.—Uuion News. Your time is near Brother Reed. — Hoosier Herald. Brother, eh? Soo, perhaps. —Mentone Gazette. Whoa, January! Less braying and more work. —Bremen Banner. A horse on us, we frankly acknowledge, and cannot blame you a bit for making the drive. Trot out another one. —Hoosier Herald. Trot out what? Horse or mule? If it’s a “horse” on you, why set ’em up. —East Texas Rambler. What in thunder are you fellows kicking about? He did “set ’em up,” and one line, and that made it step over the traces. This all came of driving Union News with a Reed, to Valparaiso where Lamson could Herald it to Mentone for Smith to Gazette it and gallop it to Lee to hitch into his Banner and ride thro’ the “Vale” where he got unhorsed and the Rambler tied it up and saddle be the day if you fellows don’t halter, it is a runaway. Did you hear us Call?—Peru (Ill.) Weekly Call. Oh, sleigh him — Bremen Banner We did not think oar reply to the Uuion News Aould stirrup such a neigh borly racing course for puns Tug away, boys. —Hoosier Herald. Now felloes, you’ve all spoke, yelled yourselves ho(a)rse, for that matter, and one would suppose you'd tire of so much hub bub. Stop wagon your tongues. No Hoosier will bolster you up in Heralding such nonsense. Gazette all over; Call back what you have said, and let it be emblazoned upon your Banner that in Union there is strength, and that you'll no longer be a Rambler for such News. Wheel into line, put on the check reigns, and never again allow yourselves to da-h away blind as bats over such an insignificant a thing as a sixty-year old mule. Be more Independent.

Still a Mystery. White Pigeon, Mich,. ) March 26, 1887. ) Devere Ivins, the only son of R. S. Ivins, of this place, who mysteriously disappeared ove.” four weeks ago, has never been heard of since, nor can the least clue of bis whereabouts be ascertained, the whole remaining a mystery almost unparalleled in the history of southern Michigan. The country has been thoroughly searched, rivers dredged, notices aud advertisements inserted in the local papers, but al) in vain. He was, owing to a very severe attack of typhoid fever, partially demented. He was light complexicued, with dark hair and eyes. His age was 22 years; height 5 feel 10 inches, and when he disappeared was clad in a dark brown uvercuat, black pants and plush cap. He was a great reader, and being the only child of the family ; an unusual interest in the case has been shown by ail. He had a cousin who disappeared over five years ago in a very similar manner. The coincidence is still more striking from ’.he fact that they both disappeared from the same place, were almost exactly of the same age when they wandered away; both of them were great students of all kinds of literature, and neither of them ever uttered a word by which their parents or fiiends could learn when, why or where they went.

He intends to go to Indianapolis to live with his daughter. Dr. Moore removed a plum pit from the nose of a three year old child of J. Smith that had lodged in the child’s nose lor two months. Brother Warner ami his band did not make much of an impression on the people of Tyner and vicinity or the Lord either, for the Lord failed to make the sinners hand over money enough lor hall rent. So they have gone where hall rent is cheaper. It makes us feel like saying, “Glory be to God.” Rollo. JO RR LA ITEMS. Reported by the Sstdepeudeuts CosrespoHde nt. Oh! such weather.
