WALKERTON, IND., MAR. 17, 1888. .. .... - Indiana, says the Indianapolis Journal, is the banner wheat-growing state, the yield in 1887 exceeding that of Illinois, the next on the list, by nearly one million bushels. Indiana has never indulged in undue boasting over its own greatness, but has modestly permitted herself to be overshadowed by the self-glorification of other commonwealths, and as a consequence, many of her own residents are unaware of the relative standing of the State in respect to agricultural and mineral products, and other sources of wealth and prosperity. Comparatively few citizens, probably, if asked about the wheat product, would venture to rate Indiana even second on the list, much less first. It is time we should vaunt ourselves a little more, or in other words boom the date.—lndianapolis Journal. An exchange exposes the following as one of the latest frauds which has been a cause of some loss to many persons : A neat advertisement announces that one thousand washing machines will be given away by some distant company, simply as a leader- for the purpose of introducing its wares. Those who write first enclosing a sufficient sum of stamps to pay for postage and packing, which is, of course, considerable on a washing machine, will be the recipien 4 of the valuable gift. The stamps forwarded, the expectant Candidate for generous favors in due time re- ' ceives a small bar of soap, worth prob- ' ably two cents. Anybody can soil the reputation of an individual however pure and chaste, ' by uttering a suspicion that his ene- * mies will believe, and his friends never ’ heard of; a puff of the idle winds can ' shake a million seeds from the thistle ’ and do a world of mischief which takes ’ a long time to undo. Such are ti e 1 seeds of the slanderer, so easily sown. ’ so difficult to gather up, and yet so per- ' nicious in their fruits. None but a cow- 1 ard and cur will allow himself the use * of such despicable means of hurting a ‘ neighbor.—Ex. 1 A Missouri exchange says; “A bushel ( cf corn distilled will make four gallons i of whiskey. The government tax on j four gallons of whisky is $3.60. The whisky made by the rapid process sells for $4 per gallon. Os this sl6 the farmer gets 25 cents, the government gets 1 . $3.60, the railroad $2, the vender gets 1 $6.25, and the habitual user gets the devil, while the tax-payer foots the bill. : ■i ■■■ Henry A. Peed, once editor of the ■ Plymouth Democrat, recently married , a Maryland lady named Kate E. Masi. The wife that Henry had with him here i had secured a divorce. —Plymouth Republican. i The Fort Wayne Journal has been sold to Col. Zollinger, State Pension 1 Agent. The Journal has not been a paying property for a number of years, i Here we sit perched upon the pinna- ( cle of neutrality and wondering who ( shall be elevated to the high and responsible position of Trustee of Linkum tpJames Gordon Bennett, Sen., said: “I believe that the highest achievement of the human intellect is what is called a ‘a good editorial.’ ” A. C. Geyer, principal of the New Carlisle schools, has been nominated by the Union Labor party of Indiana for Secretary of State. Sjome of the finest business blocks in Chicago are seriously threatened by a quicKsand under the lake front of the city. Neal Dow was defeated for Mayor of Portland, Me., last week, on the Prohibition ticket, by 1,500 majority. Bless you, isn’t it pleasant to sit straddle of the fence and watch the making up of the slate. The Northern Indiana Teachers’ Association will hold its sessions at Logansport, on March 28, 29 and 30. Modesty forbids us just saying right out who we think would make the best trustee. D’ye catch on ? The world will come to an end again on March 31st. This is a prophecy of the Adventists. Money, marbles, or chalk, that the ground-hog is a liar and no gentleman. The Democratic State convention will be held April 26th.

TO THE B. & O. CHAMPIONS. Wo are told that certain ones are kicking about the course pursued by the Independent toward the B. & O. railroad. Byway of opening tho argument wo will say that, last year the traveling passenger agent for that company came here and fully investigated all the particulars in reference to the Independent, and a pass over the road was given the Independent for publishing its time card and doing certain other printing, the very last penny’s worth of which was done. This year another pass was issued on exactly the same terms, all parties concerned fully understanding all particulars. But an understrapper of C. K. Lord’s, the general passenger agent, induced that gentleman to call in the i\ass and recommended that the Independent be placed upon what they call the “black-list.” Lord, without any further advice, called the pass home. The Independent had considerably over paid the amount of the pass used. The company, therefore, owes the Independent. Had the company not known all the particulars and anything contrary to their regulations on the part of this paper afterward cropped out. they would have been justified in calling in the pass. But such was not the case. Consequently, it amounts to a dirty, mean, low-lived trick; a dishonest proceedure; a violation of business principles, of the lowest type. The fight is between the B. & O. R. R. Company and the Independent. No others will be paid for interfering. The Independent knows the particulars in this matter and knows where the wrong is. If the company can derive any benefit from the pursuance of such a disreputable course, it is welcome to it. If the Champions have anything at stake then they have a *ight to kick about the course of the Independent, and they will also be under obligations to right their pro rata of the wrong. A Western Editor's Hardships. The following is a Nebraska editor’s explanation for being late: "Our paper is two days late this week, owing to an accident to our press. When we started to run the edition Wednesday night, as usual, one of the guy-ropes gave way, allowing the forward gilder-fluke to fall and break as it struck the flunk er-flop-per. This, of course, as any one who knows anything about a press will understand, left the gang-plank with only one flip-flap to support it, which also dropped and broke off the wrapperchock. This loosened the fluking between the ram-rod and the fibber-snatch - er, which also caused trouble. The report that the delay was caused by overindulgence in intoxicating stimulants bv ourself is a tissue of falsehoods, the peeled condition of our right eye being caused by our going into the hatchway of the press in our anxiety to start it, and pulling the coupling-pin after the slapbang was broken, which caused the dingus to rise up and welt us in the optic. We expect a brand-new gilderfluke on this afternoon’s train. The spring election being close at hand voters should bear the following facts in mind, which are according to the laws of the state of Indiana; Any one who moved into the state after October 2, 1887, will not have the right to vote at the April election of 1888. Any one who moved from one township to another after Thursday, Februrary 2, 1888, cannot vote at the township election held on Monday, April 2, 1888. Any one who moved from one precinct to another after Saturday, March 3,1888, will not have a right to vote at the coming April election. The Secretary of Wai' reports that the number of men in the United States available for military service is 8,021,605, exclusive of 100,837 that are now enrolled in the regular army. The North Pole. Beyond the bounds yet reached by man, All unexplored, unknown, unseen, On isolated lines of earth, Where human footstep hath not been, Alone, apart, afar. A zone, Encircling there the ends of earth, Such as it was, doth still remain, The same as atJCreatiou’s birth. (And yet; we speak what we know not, For mighty revolution Did shake the seas, divide the earth, These problems in solution.) Oh, distant pole! On whom the thoughts Os many an anxious mind hath turned. To meet and greet thy frowning face. And find their strongest efforts spurned. Benighted spot! Whose sunless days Bear naught of gladsome mirth, but gloom, Why seek thy hidden depths to know? For them thou hast an open tomb. Mysterious realm! Whose luckless heights And darkened waters claim no more; Enough, enough, of sacrifice Upon thy frozen, ice bound shore. What mystic dream comes not to man? “The unsatiated mind finds food in air,’’ And starts with magic lantern lit, To tame the lion in his lair. Vain, vain attempts! For glory done, Discretion lieth low, While valor climbs the highest peaks, Lies down and dies in snow. What solemn silence doth pervade Thy snowy haunts and dreary waste, Thy rigors war with human blood. When e’er thy dangers it has faced. What, though the world should never know Os all thou hast in secret store. Without thee, man has ever lived. And could forevermore. Then farewell thou! We rest content To never see, nor know thee more, The Polar bear may reign supreme Upon thy ghastly, far-off shore. M. A. Wetherby. Tyner City, Ind.
