The lucky man who drew $15,000 in the Louisiana Lottery resides iu LuPorte county. The Michigan City News says: “John C. Pahl, ticket agent, freight agent, section boss and general manager of the Michigan Central's business.at Corymbo, this county, is the great man iu town today. The boys are all ‘treating’ him and he is treating all the boys. Mr. Pahl holds the genuine one tenth ticket in the Louisana State Lottery which drew $15,000 in the drawing this month. Mr. Pahl’s wife came to town last evening and got the mail. She carried home from the postoffice a list of the drawing, perfectly ignorant that she was bearing tidings to her husband that it was his good fortune to draw $15,000 clear cash out of the Louisana State Lottery. John examined the list and looked at his ticket. Could it be true? Before his eyes was the list which in so many words said that one-tenth of the capital prize goes to Michigan City, Ind. and the number of the tic! et is 71,575. John came to town this morning and spread the glad tidings among his friends. Mr. Pahl acknowledged that it made him nervous when he saw that fortune had smiled upon him so bountifully.” Mr Pahl had been investing in lottery tickets for the past two years though not regularly. A few years ago Mr. Pahl held a ticket for S6OO in this lottery, but he didn’t find out the fact that his ticket entitled him to anything until the thirty days allowed for claims to be made had passed, and consequently didn’t get the money. He had been more particular since. He has been an employe of the Michigan Central for the past twenty-five years. In answer to the question whether he would now resign his position of section boss, Mr. Pahl said that so far as ho knew at present he would not. The job is worth about SSO a month, and don’t think for an instant that a handy German is going to throw up a fifty dollai-a-month job. Maxwell, the murderer of Preller, is attempting to cheat the gallows by smoking a couple hundred cigarettes eve ”7 day. Gen. Phil Sheridan, according to the papers, was born in Ireland, New York and Ohio. lie is a much born man. War clouds begin to fly thick and fast in Europe, and the presumption is that hostilities will begin iu early spring. Should it prove tc be a protracted siege, and the Europeans be compelled to import their pickles, Walkerton will come to the front. One of the Homeopathic Colleges in Chicago, last week graduated sixtyseven out of less than two hundred students. There is nothing infinitesimal about the bulk of graduates, as compared to the number of students, from Homeopathic Colleges, if they are taught to administer infinitesimal doses. The Chicago Herald has been slandering the ground-hog. The Herald says that the ground-hog has brought himself almost down to a level, as a weather prophet, with Wiggins. The ground-hog is a high protective tariff advocate and in no way a supporter of the Herald, aud hence, the Herald’s animus. Young Kinsley, aged 18 years, shot his father through the head, last Tues- i day, in Chicago. It seems as though the old gentleman was determined to kill the boy, but the boy got the bulge on the old gentleman and shot him through the head. Well, the old man was nearly once through any how, and the boy, probal ly, has many excellent games of pool and pedro in store for himself. Exchange: The Indianapolis News is correct in deprecating the habit so prevalent of late in telling to outsiders all the secrets of the fury room. The ; law contemplates the strictest secrecy : in the action of a jury when arriving at a verdict. Yet, as soon as a trial is over, everybody seems to know just how the jury stood, who voted for acquittal, who for conviction, and who : voted both ways. If jurymen would heed the advice given them by the judge, and converse with no one in regard to the cause on trial, either before or after its conclusion, justice would be : much better subserved and individual j jurymen might have less cause to regret ! their hasty words in after years. The | secrecy of the jury box has been sadly demoralized of late year ~ and no good has come of it.

With Suicidal Intent. Lincoln Rnpel, a quiet, sober and industrious young man, living about four miles from Walkerton, attempted, by violence, on last Saturday night, to cross the river and peer into the mysteries of that beyond, which, the preachers tell us, flows with milk and honey. Lincoln, it seems, was a little short, financially, and those gold paved streets had an attraction for him. A letter found upon his person, so says rumor, explains that he had on one occasion before disappointed a young lady as to marriage on account of lack of gold, and that the time was again set on the Wednesday following for the ceremony, and that bis exchequer was, as before, in very much the same sdlteof depletion, and that to avert another such a mortifying incident he would betake himself oil to that bourn from v hi< h jio traveler returneth. Lincoln did, therefore, in the barn of his father, and late in the night time, on Saturday night last, bare his breast and fire three balls crashing through the- same. The bullets passed in under the left breast and in close proximity to the heart. Rupel evidently was in dead earnest, and meant to shoot himself through the heart. .But ho should study anatomy before he tries it again. At this writing (Thursday), he is said to be in a fairway for recovery. B.I3EJXTY TOWXSHI? INSTITUTE. The teachers of Liberty township met at the school building of North Liberty, Ind., on Friday evening, Feb. 17, 1888, to discuss the work of their sixth monthly institute. The roads being bad. the President did not call to order until 7:20, so that the benighted trudgers toward intellectual fame might have the better chance to answer “I” when the musical voice of the Secretary chimed forth to break the stillness, had settled upon the dreary night. Four were found to be absent. After roll call the Seeds report of last meeting was read, and though the President, forgot to ask approval by the teachers present, no objections were raised, and it was taken for granted that it was “O. K.” The Secretary was first called upon to deliver the biography of Macauly, which was a difficult task, but well mastered by the one who wielded the sword of intellect. This was follow' d by J. Frank Price, who most admirably set forth the truths relating to the life of the famous English novelist, Chas. Dickens, followed by a remarkably eloquent discourse on the life of W. Makepeace Thackary, delivered by Alf. B. Geyer—he had recovered his eye-sight—who, after some minutes, retired to his seat in the rear of the room. Vice-Pres. Bates being absent on account of measles, the lordly form of C. F. Keek occupied the chair while Pres. Urey held the audience spell-bound through his excellent discourse on the 12th chap, of Psy. Next the stately J L. Weaver is seen bending his measured steps toward the arena to battle with the 10th chap, of Psy.; and considering the whole aspect of things we may conclude he fully overcame his adversary. He should have spoken before Urey, but he came while Urey occupied the pulpit. As Ed G. Geyer was absent, his subject, the 11th chap, of Psy., was again deferred. C. F. Keck next gave an interesting talk from the 14th chap, of Psy. B. Frank Houser having been excused until the next institute with the 13th. Jno. D. Troyer next made a feeble attempt to demonstrate the truth of the 15th chap, of Psy. ; but a fit of coughing seized the multitude in which some of the teachers took an active p irt. He, however, got through with his subject, vet no one was able to tell how well he did it. It was decided to hold the next and final institute at this place on Friday evening, March 16. A spelling school was announced to take place at the Williams school-house on Wednesday evening, Feb. 29. G. M. Urer, Pres. Miss Ella Cvllar, Sec. —.«■ NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. TEEtaiim. W. Jones has moved one mile south of here, onto the Watkins farm. Dan Barber reports that he bought seventy gallons of cream Tuesday. A number of the young folks of this place attended the dance at Tyner City Wednesday evening. Take notice that T. J. Plake will give flour in exchange for wheat at his store in this place. A show was given at the hall in this place on Tuesday evening, by Prof. G. W. Ayer. For the benefit of the farmers they have erected a flag staff for the purpose of giving the weather signal. TYNER CITY. The dance was largely attended here the 22nd. Most of the people in and around Tyner look as though they had it up their snoots, from the way they sneeze. | Fred Monroe thinks he had rather teach school than feed babies catnip tea, but feels very proud of his new boy baby. . George Barden, living near here, recently returned from a trip in northwestern Wisconsin, and reports the . snow some three and a half feet deep | on the level, at the time he left there. ' Mr. Barden's father, who is also the । father of Wm. Barden, of Walkerton, , accompanied George back to his home, and expects to make this his residence in the future. He was formerly a resident of Marshall county but moved west some 34 years ago. George and ; William disliking the west, returned to Indiana about 24 years ago, and neither had seen their fatl er since that time. Dick. STARKE HH'.VB'S <’AVITAE.

He has recovered since and is again on duty. The Democracy of Starke county held a convention at the court house on the 18th, and resolved to nominate their candidates by the old fashioned primary election. Dr. Abner was appointed chairman for Oregon township. The people of Walkerton need not vote aid nor subscribe to the Three I road. No matter how much aid you vote it will not change the route, and the Jess you do for a corporation the more will it do for you jn turn. Mrs, Mary Hill, of Knox, was run over by three flat cars on the Vandalia R. R. at Hibbard. She was caught in the cattleguard. She has retained the services o' H. R. Robbins and A. C. Capron and brought her action in the Marshall Circuit Court. She claims $20,000 damages. A daughter of Thomas Davis, aged 16 years and residing near Round Lake, died on the 20th. She had been sick since Dec. 2uth last. Mr. Howland, the boot and shoe and clothing man, is now closing out his entire stock. He is going back to Massachusetts, from whence he came. This leaves Knox without a clothing store. COUNTY I.INE. Two children of Paul Sult are quite sick. Protracted meeting commenced at Oregon Monday evening. Miss Wilda Russell spent a portion of last week in Walkerton. A new boy boarder has made his appearance at the home of Tom Snyder. T. J. Wolfe's hay press is in this vicinity pressing hay for Levi Williams. Jake Paul was thrown from his buggy one day last week and received quite a wound on his head. A valuable dog belonging to Levi Williams was killed one night last week. The parlies who did the deed had better keep quiet on the subject or they may get into trouble, as they arc known. Last Monday Tad Soles, while crossing a creek on a pole, slipped and fell into the water and took a bath. It was supposed that he was frozen to death but he began to revive when he got by a good warm fire. Beatumall. PLYMOUTH ITEMS. Center Township. Sugar water is ripe now, so tap your trees and gather the sweet. We know of three funerals this week —Peter Schroeder, George Love aud Mrs. George Cox. Mr. Shewelhood sold his farm to a Mr. Hoy, Tuesday, and the next day Hoy came back and rued the bargain. No, Zack, we will not call that little stranger P. I. G., but Harry Obadiah Grube, and that would make it 11. O. G. May not Walkerton rejoice too soon ' over the prospects of the Three I rail- | road? Yet we hope and believe the editor of the Independent knows whereof he speaks, and so mote it be. The debate at the Bachtol schoolhouse goes on with unabating felicity. The question for last Wednesday night was: Resolved, that animals are enI dowed with reason, and the judges de- ! cided in favor of the negative; thus you will see that Bliffner got beat. The concert at the Grube schoolhouse last Tuesday was a grand affair. The dialogues, essays, instrumental and vocal music far surpassed all expectations. It was the first one conducted by Mr. Vangilder at this place but not the last one, as the large audi- ; ence present bespeak still a better turnout next time. Spring is approaching. For the bluebird is here; Aud chirping quite loud, For this time of the year; But his notes may yet weaken, Ere this month is gone by; i As such early singingMay very soon die. Bill Bliffner
