A, ENGLEY, PUBLISHER. . WALKERTON, IND., APR. 7, 1888, - Jacob Sharp, the aged New York . boodler, is dead. : Editor Fountain, of the New Carlisle Gazette, was elected justice of the peace - in Olive township last Monday. TIR AR TTLAA T(R The wvalue of rare American coins is ~ as follows: The half dollar of 1852, representing Liberty seated, is worth _ $1.75. Among silver dollars the 1858 ~dollar, representing Liberty seated, is _ worth sls. The dollar of 1828 has a - flying eagle on the reverse side, and is - worth sls. So is the same coin of 1839; ~ both are in circulation. The 20 cent ~ piece of 1877 is worth $1.58, and of 1878 . $1.25. They are rarely seen. T'he valuable dimes and half-dimes were all - coined before 1864.‘ The silver 3-cent _ piece of 1873, with large star, brings 60 cents. - A dispateh from Anderson, this state ~to the Indianapolis News, of a few days - ago said “a genuine case of black lep- - 10sy is reported from Union township, ~ this county. The victin is Frank . Smith, a highly respected and wealthy ~ farmer. : - Mr. Smith’s entire body is covered with large black and greenish spots, 1 - and the fiesh is rotting and droppingl - off, lcaving the bone perfectly bare. - The patient was expected to die at any - moment at last reports. Much alarm ~has been caused in that immediate vi- ~ cinity over the dreadful disease, as it is ~ highly contagious. : L s C—— Walkerton has'its two railroads and - the third one coming, its bank, coming, its pickle salting factory, and now it ~ wants a nice snug canning shop, and a ~ good hotel building erected on avenue - F. and all will be well. —WalkeTton In- ~ dependent. Nay, Bro. Endley, all would not be well were the INDEPEND- - ENT not included among the desirables. ~ —Westville Indicator. —— s The Couniry Press. ~ When you find a man crinkling up ~ his nose and snarling at the country - newspapers, denouncing them all as ~ comparatively light and +rorthless ;Athmgs, set him down asa batter brained ~ booby, gourd-headed, who emits sound Qnd thinks it is sense. It is true that ~ many of these papers are threadbare ‘ Lgmmgh, gome of them inexcusably so, . but the great majority of thin country %ws are published in thin fowns with l ~ a constituency that jpays in promises ~ and eriticisms, expecting a publisher to »:prodnca a fat and florid newspaper in a ‘ ~ pinched, pale, consumptive and spindling town. Seldom, indeed,, will yon ~ find a country newspaper that is not worth many times its subscription price ~ doing more for a town than the town l . does for it, and giving a community more boosting and aid for nothing than ~ any score of the louts who sneer at it and callit a shallow sham.

What makes this showing especially gratifying is the fact that it was noi made at the expense of the worthy poor, nor to their neglect, Itislargely attribotable to the enlargement of the accommodations at the county asylum and to the vigilance of township irustees, admonjshed thereto by our efficint board of « gounty commissioners, Since ample yoom has been provided at the county asylum it has been made possible to frustrate persons improperly or unnecessarily applying for aid by offering to provide them with a comfortable place in that institution. If, for reasons satisfactory to themselves, they decline to go there, the respousibility of the trustee ceases, and the tax payers are saved the amount that under other eircumstances would in all probability have been appropriated to an unworthy and undeserving suppiicant for public o Gharit_v.

ELECTION NEWS, | While it is true that the members of all three of the parties worked vigor- | ously for the success of their candidates at the polls last Monday, and all seeming to be determined that win they .| would, the election went off pleasantly and harmoniously. Convalescents, the ‘| halt and the lame, the deaf, and even some of the “dumb” were rallied and | vehicled to the voting place and urged | to bolster up the despondent candidate. | It was fun for us up a tree. Following is the vote cast for the respective candidates in Lincoln town- | ship last Monday : TRUSTEE.

The little band of prohibitionists stood right by their candidates like a stone-wall. A certain itinerant gentleman who has always had more or less trouble in getting his vote in, says this is the first time that he ever voted in Walkerton that they didn’t “charm” his vote. It will be seen by figures above that the Democrats and Republicans got nearly all the votes. It was a scheme to down the Prohibs, DBut just wait till next time. The debris has been cleared away, and all moves harmoniously on as though nothing had happened. All the Prohibitionists lacked were the votes. They had the candidates all right enough. Don’t youn forget it, you can’t always prohibit the Prohibs, Some say that the snow iell sixteen feet deep last Monday. - The Prohibitionists were prohibited, it appears. Was it lightning ? Did it strike anywhere else? Wait till next time. Who else did it hit? Was anybody killed ? The cyclone was sudden. : We didn't think Sam was loaded for bear. Mr. Cripe—DMzr. Ross. The eigars were on Sam. That was a stem-windel ! » Olive, Warren, Portage, Uni(m’ Centre, Green and Lincoln townships all elected Republican trustees. Germ an, Clay, Harris, Penn, Liberty and Madison were Democratic. Joseph R. Ullery, Republican, was elected trustee in Center by a fair majority. Lydick, Demoecrat, was elected trustee in German by a very small majority. The Republicans elected a justice [ and constable. In Penn the Democratic candidate for trustee, John Schindler, was elected by 5 majority. Madison township elected the whole Democratic ticket. Greene elected a Republican trustee, E. H. Peffey, by 29 majority. Shimp, Democrat, was elected trustee of Harris township. Union township elected tlie entire Republican ticket. Jacob A. Wynn received a majority of about 30 for trustee. The entire Republican ticket was elected in Olive, W. H. Deacon being elected trustee by a majority of 153. Warren Township elected the full re--I)}lli]ican ticket, except one road supervisor. Johin N. Rupel, Democrat, was elected trustee of Liberty township. Tt is said he received quite a support from the Republicans owing to some dissatisfaction in their party. John Yant, candidate on the Republican ticket for trustee of Portage, received a majority of 50, Gabriel R, Summers, Democratie candidate for trustee in Clay township was elected by 127 majority. Davis township, Starke county, elected the Republican candidate for trustee, William Coffin. Oregon Township, Starke county, elected Samuel Koontz, jr., Rebublican, for trustee, and the balance of the Republican candidates were elected, except one constable.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS, AENININ SISO PN NSNS A INS RPN L NSNS Ase v | STARKE COUNTY'S CAPITAL. \ ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM KNOX. | Lung fever has become almost an epi= | demie. | The roads are generally good now and | people are gardening. | Tom Concannon was here on a horse~ ‘L trading expedition last week. | Nowis the time that the gutter-snipe is putting in his best hicks on the oyer jealous and hopeful candidate. | Mis. Elizabeth Magill, formerly Callal way, and a resident of Walkerton, died on the morning of the 30th of March. Her ' illness was hereditary consumption. ‘| The reason our public school in Knox is the pride (?) of the Hoosier State is ow= ing t> the extra talent at the helm of our educational bureau. P. M. Thompson has removed to Jackson Island where he will remain during the summer and resume his old occupation of pressing hay. The election passed off very smoothly; results not yet learned- It is a triangular fight with chances about evenly divided between Dem.’s, Rep.'s ard Prohib’s. Joseph Murphy, of North Judson, has sold his real estate in Starke county and rumor has it that he and his son, George A, are goirg to remove to Nebraska. Among the foreign talent at our court last week, were K. C. Field, of Crown Point, Wm. Johnson, of Valparaiso, and L. A. Cole, of LaPorte, who are ranked among the best talent of their respective towns. | The brass band have reorganized, and diszourse some very nice music on our streets. The Johuson vs. Taylor case was again continued at Taylor's costs. Johnson's attorney’s announced that they were ready and were always ready, but the other side had been napping. Wm. H. Morris and Miss Nettie Wams—ley haye concluded to try the sweets of connubial bliss. Will is a jolly good fel. low and Miss W. has learned to believe bim to be all right, The Supieme Court of Indiana recently held that & married woman might purchase notes with her own money and take the same by endorsement from her husband, and maintain actiop on the same, without the husband joining. There is complaint of gross neglect of duty at our county poor farm. It is the duty of the grand jury to look after that; but where the court abolishes the grand Jury such outrages will have to be tolerated, and the defenseless poor have no recourse for abuse heaped upon them by avaricious officials. I notice that your Tyner City corres= pondent would like to have a history of Starke county. The next¢ thing needful to him would be some one to read for him, and assure him of the truths of it. The fact is, of our county *‘the hauls has never been told.” CIRCUIT COURT REPORT.

We think him well worthy of the favor. *Squire Schafer says, ‘‘the Democrats are all good men,” but they were either not good enough or not enough of them to beat. Which was it, 'Squire? Neff says he don't know whether his wife voted or not, but if she did it was the Republican ticket. Perhaps that accounts for Chase being elected. Four results of the Polk tawnship election :—Broker buggy, delirium tremens, mad Democrats and Myron Chase as trustee. : We saw the large P. L.
