The Nappanee News has adopted the six-column quarto form. Hon. H. G. Thayer, of Plymouth, denies point blank that he has any congressional aspirations. We are posted now on the tariff question, but dare not tell just how it is because we are non-partisan. The Senate has decided to comm nee an investigation of the election of Senator Turpie, on the 20th inst. Tne Supreme Court of Michigan recently decided a ease against the Bohemian oats sharpers on the ground that the note was obtained by fraud. A large nose is not always an indication of a large brain.—South Bend Times. If you mean that for us, you’ve got us downed. If the Lord, C. K. Lord of the B. A O. Company, will come right out, like a man, and say that the company is not able to pay for its time card, „ e will publish it for nothing. The newspapers which published obituary notices of Petroleum V. Nasby over a week ago, were a little too previous; as he did not die until Wednesday of this week. There is a fearful epidemic of scarlet fever raging at Tolono, 111., and churches, schools and all public places for congregating have been closed. Children are forbidden the streets. Gueat excitement prevails. Petroleum V. Nasby died at his home, , Toledo, Ohio, of consumption, last Wednesday. His name was David Ross Locke. He was editor-in-chief of the Toledo Blade, and the author of the famous “Confederate X Roads” letters. Quite a number of talented editors have recently passed away, and we are having some si oting pains ourself. Dominick O’Malley was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, last Tuesday, for wilfully, maliciously, and without cause or provocation, stabbing to death Martin O'Neill. The ways of a Chicago jury are past finding out. Had O’Malley made a fiery speech on that occasion and some unknown one killed O’Neill, of course, O’Malley would have been hanged. Parsons, for example. Mention was made a few weeks ago that the old project of paralleling the Lake Shore road from Detroit to Chicago was again being agitated. The line was surveyed via Baileytown and Brimfield, and the track was laid from Detroit to Fayetteville, when the Vanderbilts gathered it in. The charter will expire this year, and it is intimated that should not the Lake Shore occupy the line the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe will endeavor to get a new charter, and then build the road as originally intended.—lndianapolis Journal. This is the road projected a few miles north of Walkerton, and if our citizens are active the company may be induced to change the route so as to touch this place. Anent the talk about reviving the old right of way of the Canada Southern railroad the question arises, says the LaPorte Argus, Who now owns the right of way ? It will be remembered that the railway was purchased from the farmers with the understanding that the land was to revert to them in case the road was not built within a specified time. It was not built within the time mentioned, and the farmeis took possession of the road way and have since held it. It has generally been understood that if the road is ever built on that line the right of way will have to be re-purchased from the adjoining land-owners, but this is now disputed and it seems likely the case will have to be settled in the courts. Advertising has passed from the period of experiment. The money paid for it is no longer considered a charity to the newspapers which receive it, but as a necessary expense in business, os much so as the sign which the merchant puts ever his door. The experience of the business public, almost from the foundation of newspapers to the present time—an experience somewhat similar to that of the timid bather, who doubtfully submerges A^ii’earg .

The Lake Shore road disburses monthly in Elkhart from $30,000 to $50,000 in wages. By some mistake in the “make-up” of an eastern paper under the heading, “Reduction in Gas,” it was stated that “Rev. Dr. receives only SSO for a lecture now that he got SIOO for ” They had asked Dr. Sandblast, the eminent surgeon, to carve the festal fowl, and he stood over it with the carving-knife delicately held in first position. “The incision, you will observe, gentlemen,” he began, dreamily, “commences a little to the left of the median line, and—oh, excuse me, Mrs. Parmalee—l thought I was in the—the—may I help you to a little of the femur ?” Whether it is financially incapacitated for paying or not we do not know, but the B. & O. company either will not, or cannot, pay for publishing its time card, and we have therefore taken it out of the Independent. The time card for the Lake Erie & Western may be seen in this paper, thus enabling travelers to ascertain just when they can leave here for Chicago and all other points. The Lake Erie & Western seldom, if ever, has passenger train wrecks, which is an important matter for consideration. There are said to be more printers in the House of Representatives than of any other occupation or profession. There is even among the number a tramp printer, who says he has set type in every state in the Union. This extraordinary tramp is Amos Cummings, of New York. Be careful about sending tramp printers away from your doors lest you offend a future congressman.— Lagrange Standard. Our South Chicago Letter. Editor Independent: As this place is pretty well represented by “Hoosiers” from your town, and thinking perhaps a few notes from here might be of some interest to the read- . ers of your very valuable paper, I now respond, and if you think them worthy of space, all right; if not, please consign them to the old standby—the waste-basket. The weather is fine and sleighing splendid at present and everybody seems to enjoy it. A thirteen and one-half pound baby boy boarder arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Smith last Sunday, and has come to stay. Boy and mother are doing nicely. Charles James, a boiler-maker in the B. & O. shops at this place who had the misfortune of getting severely burned about the face and eyes, is once more at his post again doing duty. G. W. I. Jones is doing quite an extensive business in his new music store at present. "Alphabet” will eventually get there. Mrs. Laura Mintle is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jones at present. South Chicago begins to appear prosperous since the big plant of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Company has started up in full force. During the two months it has been idle the merchants have hardly done enough business to pay rent. On Monday the mill started with all departments working to their full capacity. The first day 1,600 complete rails were manufactured. Although the men have been obliged to accept a reduction of 10 per cent, in their wages, no hardship is felt by them, and the company saves a large amount of money. Some months more than $150,000 has been paid for wages, and during the past two months about $70,000 has each month been paid to the men working on repairs. There are now more than two thousand men at work, but each one has made a contract for one year, so no labor troubles are expected. The company pays most of the men on a graded scale, which is based on the price of rails. The real estate dealers are expecting a prosperous spring, and state that a number of deals for manufacturing sites will soon be closed. E» ery day some one is looking over the eligible sites with a view to purchasing. Among the new plants which are expected to locate in this vicinity is a large buggy manufactory, which is negotiating for a piece of land near the pavillion grounds at Cheltenham Beach. Several sales of lots have been reported during the week. Now, Mr. Editor, for fear I am intruding on your valuable space, I will close. G. L. S. — Fence! Fence! Something New.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. GROVERTOWN. Walt Clark has one of the finest yearling colts we have seen. Wonder if that boy at Bill Bliffner’s is aP. I. G.? How about it, Bill? If anyone wants to buy a horse call on Sam Uncapher. He has one to sell at cost. What has become of Lase Sm ; th? We don’t see him any more when we come to Walkerton. Protracted meetings at this place, conducted by Rev. Regg, of the U. B. church, is making Rome howl. You tell Bill Bliffner that we are neither dead nor asleep, but just got tired tooting our horn this cold weather. Chris Seider thinks he will move his fish pond before the three I R. 11. goes through as he don't want the fish seared—they've not been used to the ears. If .Jacob Seider & Son would tell the people through The Independent that they are selling goods at cost for fifty days, they would have to hire two more clerks. Mr. Editor, if you have any one in Walkerton with a slut loose, just bring them down here and have the elder lay on his hands and rub in some axle grease. We understand that it is a sure shot. The nicest way to cure the Western fever is to read of the Dakota blizzards. So says V. But we think if the fever has such a hold that reading wont remove it, then a few minutes in one would run the fever down to about thirty degrees below zero. [Later,] Protracted meeting still in progress. Well, Walt, how about that valentine? It was a daisy, though. Wonder what kind of chronic disease Joe MoPeeler died of? Bet you he is dead only from the cross of his suspenders up. You can easily find him when the weather gets warm. Why don’t the galoot who writes the Oregon Siftings get a longer name? By the way he made the mistake about the withered hand he was surely thinking of the sore leg that was reported healed. Chris Seider and his partner were present, so we would like it if Lunar Trepid Cicero Romulus Arbuckle would not make such blunders. We noticed Lunar Trepid, of the Oregon Siftings, coming down street a few evenings ago with his ears laid back and vengeance in his eye (not the blind eye), and he seemed to be loaded for bear. He was looking for that “come out” elder whom he thought was present when that withered hand was healed. Zack. TYXEII m i. News scarce; not much going on except checker playing. County Superintendent Bailey was visiting our school on Tuesday last. Teachers’ institute was held here last Saturday, and a good time is reported. Some of our young ladies got nine valentines, while poor Dick got none. A little child of Joe Burnside, who lives a couple of miles from here, has scarlet fever. Hank Ford's saw mill caught fire on Friday night of last week, but the fire was discovered in good time and by hard work the mill was saved. From the screaming that was heard on our streets Sunday night the people thought some of the lunatics had broken from their cells and escaped from the county farm, but were told since that it was only a couple of young ladies on their way home from Comeout meeting. It seems they were holy sanctified. Dick. MOUNT VERNON. Mrs. Nicholas Goppert is spending the week in Argos visiting with friends and relatives. Roy, two years old, son of Rayon Beall, has been quite sick with a lung trouble, but at this date is improving. Among the varied scenes and activities of his somewhat eventful life, we would ask “Perry” if he remembers the events dating back to Feb. 25th and March Ist, 1883. On last Monday evening quite a number of young folks from his and neighboring vicinities gathered at the residence of B- McCabe and indulged in a quiet sociable dance. All enjoyed themselves and went home satisfied. Chase. NORTH LIBERTY. The postoffice did a lively business on Valentine Day as usual. John Dunnuck has begun the work of moving to his farm in Marshall county. The woodchuck is an unmitigated fraud whether he sees his shadow or not. Revival meetings are continued at the Maple Grove M. E. chnreh with increasing interest. George R. Flood was down at Plymouth and Bourbon, the fore part of the week, on business. Miss Alice Pearse entertained a jolly lot of her young friends on the evening of Valentine Day. Mrs. Doudy and son, of Goshen, are spending the week in town, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J- D. Rush. Capt. George A. Bettcher and wife are spending the week at Granger with Mrs, B.’s parents. Mrs. Liddie Swank, of South Bend, spent Tuesday and Wednesday with relatives and friends in this village. The indications now point to a legal contest over the right of way on the old Canada Southern R. R- route through this county A letter from Miss Della Swank at Yuma. Col., reports her health very much improved, which will be welcome news to her friends in Indiana. The show at Cole’s hall on Wednesday evening, was only meagerly patronized. It embraced views of a number of the principal engagements of the war of the rebel-

lion, and deserved a better house. Clara, how is the baby? Oh, he is as chirp as a lark. That Hibbard’s Throat and Lung Balsam is a great remedy. Three doses relieved his suffering, and he was thirty lor i ,la yF. Cattl-.
