We stand in with the Declaration ol Independence all right enough; that all men are created equal; that among their rights are life. liberty and the pursuit of “something to take.” But we hold it as a right inalienbly vested in us to say that, in the Republican candidate for Representative, and a resident of Walkerton. there’s good timber.

The LaPorte Argus :says: A good many horses have lately been dying iu the north part of the county. They begin to tremble all over and soon die, the cause of the sicKness being wholly unKnown. It looks as though they had eaten something that poisons them, but they die in the pas. tures and in the barns alike, which; shows the poison theoiy is not correct. Horse men can give no idea iof what causes the trouble. John Robison, of the Island was t&ken to the LaPorte j&ifi, last Satur day evening, by several of Ms neighbors who reported him as acting the part of a lunatic, and having torn up his house and cruelly beaten his wife. They had the old man firmly bound in a wagon, and he was making the welkin ring. He was dismissed from the hospital at Indianapolis and pronounced well, but it seems he has had another attack and will doubtless be returned.

The two men were held in the sum of SI,OOO each for the action of the grand jury *hich convenes next Monday.—South Bend Daily Tribune. A great many people find it difficult; to comprehend the difference between the terms “majority” and “plurality.” All such should clip and preserve this explanation: Accordixg to Webster’s unabridged dictionary a “plurality of votes” is “the excess of votes cast for one of several competing candidates,” whilst “majority of votes” is “the number by which one aggxqgikte exceed all opposed to it." C has a plurality over A or B. If his votes had exceeded those of A and B he would have lead a majority. It's a very plain matter, after you once understand it. The Prohibitionists held a very enthusiastic and well attended meeting in Bender’s hall last Friday evening. Mr. Murray, of South Bend, spoke at great length, shaking up the “wets” in great shape. He heaved some heavy dornicks into the Democratic party; but, as we could see it way up on top of the fence, the right huge bowlders were sent crashing into the Republican party with an alarming vis a tergo. The meeting was presided over by Harry Granger, and opened with singing by the glee club, after which Mr. Granger delivered a fervent prayer. Rev. Beall then introduced the speaker by making a handsome speech himself, after will eh the hot shot began to fly. New Drug Store.

He was riding in a sulky and drove on to the railroad track immediately in front of a fast approaching Fort Wayne train, apparently oblivious to the fate that awaited him. He was mutilated beyond recognition, and was instantly killed. The horse was badly injured and the sulky demolished. The name of the unfortunate man has not been i ascertained. I

The Middlebury Independent says; “Track laying on the new railroad is ‘ progressing toward Middlebury and the construction engine will soon come puffing around the curve into town.” A Daring Undertaking. Jeff Reece tells us that S. F. Ross and himself went to Chicago this week, via the Exterminator, and returned safely at home. Mr. Reece appeared to feel as pleased as a little boy with a red wagon, and seemed to feel to congratulate himself and Mr. Hoss over their successful triumph in such a daring adventure. Be careful, boys, don’t get too bold. The Exterminator often exterminates. PUBLIC SALES. A. D. Johnson will hold a public sale at Tyner City, on Saturday, Oct. 13, commencing at 10 o’clock a. m.

B. Times: Many of our readers will remember Jim McDermott, the tire eating, tail twisting individual who i‘dited the South Bend Herald while its editor, Charles T. Murray, was supposed to be dying from a shot from William H. Palmer’s pistol. Os him the Nappanee News, edited by Gordon Murray, formeily of the Herald, says: “We notice by the New York papers that Jim McDermott, the Fenian dynamiter, the man who has been hunted as. a traitor, and by whose testimony it : was alleged that Dr. Gallagher of Brooklyn, was convicted in London, has been foa^d in SeoGand by a gen tieman from New York, who has been traveling in that country. It is said that McDermott has become a real count in France and shows up the card as Count Neonlier. He will be remembered by many as The man who edited the South Bend HenaM a short time in 1875 after the attempted assassination of Chas. T. Murray, then publisher of the paper. McDermott while in South Bend was handled pretty roughly by some ‘ ‘bums’’ of the town who knocked him on the head, and after pounding his mouth full of sand, laid him under the sidewalk for dead. The man’s life has been one of many crooks and hard nocks, but he naw .&eema to have struck it rich, as he is reported to be quite wealthy, and spends the most of his time in travel.” The Great Crop in Kansas. r The crops in the state of Kansas promise a greater yield this year than has been known in the history of the state, and the prosperity of its farmers is assured. The large eximber of farmers an the eastern states who wish to see the country at. harvest, time and immediately after, has induced the “Santa Fe Route,” the great railway system of Kansas, to make exceptionally low rates from Chicago and other stations, to all points iu Kansas, and the lines east of Chicago will make correspondingly low rates up to Chicago. Ask your ticket agent for particulars or write to Emmons Blaine, General Passenger Agent “Santa Fe Route," Chicago, and you will be sent an accurate map of the state of K&mas, together with de«ilred information.
