Notre Dame Scholastic: Twenty.five new students have been enrolled since the first of January. And still they come!

E, & W. railroad, was in the city, last week, and while here stated that he is well pleased with the traffic during the past year, and that the road has had a prosperous season. Mr. Lee was on a tour of inspection, and he returned to Indianapolis after a few hours visit. —LaPorte Herald. The celebrated spring at the Crystal Springs camp meeting grounds near Paxagon, Mich., has suddenly ceased to flow. The disappearance of the water 1s accouuted for by a deep well being sunk for gus near that place, which it is supposed tapped the vein of water that supplied the spring. The loss of this beantiful spring will take the chief attracti n from the camp meeting grounds. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of St. Joseph county, will hold a convention in New Carlisle, Feb, 9, for the purpose of a more complete organization.” This convention will be composed of officers and members from each local union in the county, and it is earnestly hoped that every union be represented. All friends of temperance are invited to attend and participate is the discussions. Bem Scctt, who stabbed Con Crowley to death in an affray at Elkhart last summer, was taken to South Bend last Saturday and placed in jail to await trial at the March term of the St. Joseph circuit eourt, a change of venue having been taken to this county. Scott is deseribed as a good looking man of venerable appearance and quiet demeanor. He has considerable means which he will use generously in his defense. If a few of our moneyed men propose to form a company and start a fruit canning establishment, the INDEPENDENT suggests the propriety of being about it, for the time is not far distant when such products will be in the market. Do as the darkey did, gentlemen, take time by “de padlock” and be ready with your establishment. There is no enterprise that Walkerton will support in which a better per cent. on the mvestment would be realized ‘and which would be of as much benefit Eto the town. : " The Verdict Unanimous. i W. D. Sult, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: ‘I can recomimend Electric Bitters asthe very best remedy, Every | bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in \ my 20 years’ expedience, is Electric Bit- | ters.” Thaussads of ethers have added their testimony. so that the verdict is nnanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.

b Banker McConnell states that busi--|ness opened up in the bank much , | brisker than he had anticipated. b | What is the matter with Ed Vincent, the furniture man? He’s all right. .| Why, he is selling furniture so cheap . | that people can’t help but buy. ‘The primary and lower intermediate .| departments of the Walkerton school} | were dismissed on Friday for a weex or ‘ 80 on acconnt of the prevalence of scar let fever here. | Mr. Wm. Stroup, of Valparaiso, and Miss Ella Hostetter, of this place, were married at Chicago Thursday, Jan 24. | The bride is well known here, her par- | ents’ home being in this place, and her friends wish for her a life of happiness with the man of her choice. Mr. and Mrs. Stroup after spending a few days with relatives here, went to Goshen to visit for a while, jafter which they will make their home iz Valparaiso where the groom is engaged in business, and where, for several years, the bride has been employed as saleslady in Clem Kern's store. Somebody, we don’t remember just who, wanted the INDEPENDENT to urge the fittiug up of a park op the railroad grounds. Walkerton can't bear too much prosperity all at once. There’s the new bank, and the Three I road that’s soon coming, the agricultural society about to be organized, the fruit canning factory now under serious contemplation, to say nothing of the fact that this point has recently been made a division for both passenger and freight trains, etc., ete., that we would think ought to satisfy the most ambitious. Too much prosperity, friend; ecan’t urge that now. For of Such iy the Kingdom of Heavemn. It pains us to record the death of little Hazel Ross, daughter of Mi. and Mrs. Geo. Ross, who suceumled to that most treache ous of all maladies, scarlet fever, Jan. 31st, 'B9, Hazel was violently attacked and grew worse until the thirteenth day when she passed to her long home, at the age of four years, three months and twentv-seven days, She was buried in the Walkerton cemetery at 4 o'clock p. m. on the day of her death, the ceremonies being conducted by the Rev. Matthews, of this place. No funeral services were held, the same being forbidden by law in case of death from contagious maladies. She was an unusunally bright and pretty child, and by her sweet and af-!} fectionate ways had endeared hersell to the hearts of all who knew her. The grief-stricken parents have the heartfelt sympathy of all their frieads in this time of sorrow and bereavement. Macy, a little towr of less than six hundred inhabitants forty miles south on the L. E. & W. road has an agricultural society which, it is claimed Dby those who huave the means of knowing, is a complete success. The citizens of that place informs she INDEPENDENT that they have a lively fair of several days duration and that it jis an enterprise of immense benefit to their little town. Walkerton with its twelve o thirteen hundred inhabitants. ‘ts unsurpassed facilities foringress and egress would certainly be largely benefitted by the formation of such a society. Rev. Beall informs the INDEPENDENT that he has the land quite handy to town to lease tor the purpose. The INDEPENDENT suggests the names of D. W. Place, Esq., Nicoles, Sam Ross, Tom J. Wolfe, Esq. George, Samuel Hudelmyer, C. W. N. Btephens, Ed. Grider, Ed Vincent, #d Henderson and Ol Fulmer as suitable gentlemen to convene and take the initinl steps in organizing this society. Gentlemen, the honor and the glory shall be thine for ever and ever if you move in this matter until you bring about the desired result, THE WALKERTON CORNET BAND. The Walkerton Cornet Band have reorganized and appointed the following officers; Chas. Poole, Musical Director; J. P, Barnhart, Manager; Noah Rensberger, Corresponding Secretary; Albion Swank, Recording Secretary; Chas. Robbins, Treasurer. The members of the band are as follows: E flat, J. P.

THE COMMERCIAL BANK OF WALKERTON ‘ > Is now open and ready for business. Exchange bought and sold. Deposits received, and general banking business will be done on as favorable terms as is consistent with good, safe and conservative banking. : ‘The following is given by a Massachussets man on how to start a balky bhorse: *“Whenever a horse driven by myself has balked, I have got out of my carriage and gone to his fore foot, lifted it from the ground and struck the shoe a few blows from a stone or wrench which I always ecarry in my ecarriage. I have never failed to start a horse in that simple way, and I have on several occasions had balky horses which have exhausted the patience of former owners,” We asked Banker McConnell the other cold morning if his banking room was s cold one. His response was: “It is not & very cold room, but there are no flies on this bank.” : WEDDED. ? At South Bend, Monday, Jan. 28, by Rev. Williamson, Mr. Chsrles Miller, of Garrett, and Miss Lola Leibole, of Walkerton, were quietly married. They were accompanied by Mr. Will Tank as best man and Miss Maud Nicoles as bridesmaid Mr. Miller has a position as fireman on the B. & 0. railroad and-is industrious, of good habits and associations and in all respects worthy of the choice he has made. Miss Lola is ove of Walkerton’s most highly respected young ladies, having lived here since childhood, -and is esteemed by her large circle of friends, a8 much for her spotless character and modest ways, as for her many other good qualities. The young couple begin life to= gether with hearty wishes from all for an unclouded 2:d prosperous future. Mr. and Mrs. Miller will for the present remain here with the bride’s parents, but will eventually make their home at Garrett. Alex Palmer, of Center township, this county, brother of Amos Palmer, the South Bend music dealer, met with a strangely sudden death on last Saturday evening. There was a jolly party of young people at Frank Palmer's, brother of the deceased, and none were more lively then Alex. Shortly after supper he complained of the rooms being t 0 warm and went ont into the air, where he was immediately seized with a vomiting fit which lasted until he grew | 50 weak that his friends were frightened, and rushed to him trying to do something for him, but in & few minutes he commenced gasping for breath, and almost before they knew it he was dead. A physician, who was summoned, pronounced it heert Jdisease. The young man, though robust and hearty, had heart trouble, which an attack of rheumatism & year ago had made worse, and the excitement of the party, or, perhaps, overeating at the supper, caused the fatal attack. This sudden death at a merry making, of one of their number, it is needless to say, was a shock never to be forgotten by the young people, and the aged parents and other relatives of the deceased feel keenly the unexpected bereavement.
