Office with Dr. Endley. The ice harvested in Koont’z Lake this winter was about six inches thick. Don’t fail to see that spool cotton thread for 2 cts. per spool at the Racket Store There are 715 prisoners in the Northern prison, the largest number ever confined there at one time. Those wishing masks for the ball at Bender’s hall Thursday evening, Feb. 21, can obtain them at Reid’s drug fetore. Trade good at Reid’s. Pure drugs are what the people want. No stale accumulations. Call, we are anxious to please you. . Every citizen who owns property and is interested in procuring better fire protection for the town should attend the meeting in Bender's hall Wednesday evening. We have just added to this office a st-ck of new material in the way of job typo, etc., and are now prepared to do commercial printing as fine as can be done in the large cities. Jot Davis, formerly, of Lebanon, Boon Co., has taxen possession of the Kneisley barber shop, and is a professional workman, and desires a portion of the public patronage. Bose Bros have put up near SI,OOO worth of pork this winter, preparing it int smol ed hams, .bacon, etc., for the spring trade. These meats have been carefully prepared, and no finer can be found anywhere. Bose Bros, will compete with Chicago prices on these meats. Patronize home manufacture, We have a curiosity at this office in the shape of several large fish scales sent by Mrs. Guswell, of California, to her relatives here. The scales are quadrilateral in shape, and about one inch in diameter. They are from large California fish which are sold in the market there in slices, same as meat is ent here. A few of our citizens are talking seriously of opening a brick-yard here, and if they meet with sufficient encouragement to warrant the establishment of such an enterprise they will commence business as soon as the weather will permit. Clay has been found at a convenient distance from town which is believed to be suitable for the manufacture of an excellent quality of brick. It is sincerely to be hoped that the project will pan out all right. The L. E. & W. people are talking of erecting some new depots along the Michigan City division the coming spring. This is a “consummation devoutly to be wished.” The old tum-ble-down buildings that now answer for depots at some points are a disgrace to any road making pretensions to passenger traffic. Aside from these the L. E. & W. equipments are of a high order. —Michigan City Dispatch. The Independent hopes that Walkerton may be among the favored towns along the line of the L. E. & W. The old rattle-trap now used here for a depot has long been an eye-sore to the town. Sylvester Martin, of Polk township, who was convicted of passing counterfeit money in Kansas last May, and sentenced to serve a term of five years in the Kansas State Prison has, through the efforts of Hon. M. A. O. Packard and Congressman Shively, been ordered by Attorney-General Garland to be transferred to the Northern Indiana State Prison. Martin is in poor health, and the change it is thought will improve his physical condition, and besides will give his relatives a better opportunity of visiting him during his confinement. —Plymouth Democrat.

Ed. Vincent was in South Bond on business last Thursday. Wo want saw logs of all kinds, and lots of them, at the Saw-Mill. Don’t let that cold floor you, when it can bo stopped free at Reid’s. The best bargaina in town at the Racket Store. Auction every Saturday. Call on Reid for pure wines, gins, apple brandy, New England rum and pure whiskies. People in this vicinity have taken advantage of the “slippin’” and slipped in lots of saw-logs. Ed Vincent wants some money to deposit in the bank, and for that reason is selling furniture very cheap. Lost.—A bunch of keys, somewhere on Avenue F, on tho night of the firo. Finder please return to this office. M. D. Leßoy is selling off his entire stock of groceries, glassware, etc., at auction, commencing to-day—Saturday. We have a large lot of good Split Posts for sole, also fencing and building lumber at tho Saw-Mill in Walkerton. Mrs. M. A. Rea has her dressmaking shop in Mrs. YarricK’s front room, where sho will be pleased to see any one wishing sewing done. 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. To the people of Walkerton who are suffering with bad coughs and cannot afford to buy medicine—to such I say come and get it free at Reid’s. Lost.—A white and black plush robe on Saturday evening, FeL 2, between the Independent office anl the B. & O. depot. A. Rmberger. J. W. Brown, who was ammg the unfortunate ones burned out by the late fire, has opened up a saloon it Hamlet, Starke county, and has Roved hit family there. All who wish to secure tie March uumber of the Judge or Puck. Scribner, Century or any other periodical call at Reid’s and leave orders, as they are all extra fine. While Walkerton has been enjoying good sleighing for the past two reeks, the report comes that Bremen and other towns not far away have had scarcely enough snow to cover the ground. Oh, say I why don’t you pay what you owe me? If you don’t I shall place all accounts not paid or settled satisfactorily by Feb. 15th, in the hands of my attorney. E. J- Vincent. It is important that there should be a good turn out at the citizens’ meeting next Wednesday evening. The question of fire protection is one that demands immediate attention from our people. Hollyday & Rogers, proprietors of the saw-mill at this place, are doing a livelier business now than ever before. They are receiving an immense number of saw-logs at the mill-yard, and will be in readiness to meet all demands made upon them for lumber during the coming building season. Hollyday & Rogers are square business men, and the Independent can heartily recommend them, their business methods aud their reliability. Louie Weller, sou of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Weller, of the Island, died at 2 p. m. on Thursday last, at the ago of 17 years. The deceased had been an invalid for tho past six years, and of late had grown so much worse that his death was a matter of hourly expectation. The parents and relatives certainly have the warmest sympathy of their friends in this time of affliction. Funeral services will be in charge of Rev. Matthews at the Island church to-day—Saturday—at 2 p. m. No two newspapers that we have seen, and we have seen as many as fifty issued since the fire, have the details of the Walkerton fire alike. They agree in one thing only, and thai Is, Walxerton had a disastrous fire. One paper published in Pittsburg, Fens., says that sixty business houses ’were consumed; another has it thir-y, and so on. Ono paper allows Boss B- oe. only a miraculous escape, when the fact is thoy were in as little danger as was the office in which the paper woe published aud it is many miles away, Fa.? the information of those papers which are inclined as is the Independent, viz., to always print the truth, we will say that Walkerton had about sixty business places of which fifteen o? sixteen were destroyed by the late fire, Eupepsy. This is what you ought to have, In fact, you must have it, co fully enjoy life, Thousands are searching for it daily, and mourning because they find it not. Thousands upon thouse-da of dollars are silent annually by our people in the hope that they may .train this boon. And yet it may be had by all. We guarantee that Electric Bitters, if used according to direction and tho use persisted in, will bring yoa good digestion and oust tho den.cn Dyspepsia and install instead Eupepsy. We recommend Electric Bitters for Dyspepsy and all disease j of Liver, Stomach and Kidneys. Sold at 50 cents at J. Endley’s. Those wishing to purchase good cowc , for milk and butter, or fine ehoata, should ( not fail to attend the public sale at M, J, McKesson’s on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

Rev. George Cook will preach at tho M. E. Church Sunday night. A watch and clock repairer has opened up business in the Postoffioe room. Some eases of chicxen-pox have been i reported. No one need bo chiexenhearted about such trifles though. Fourteen pupils of the Walkerton school were promoted from the lower to the upper intermediate, one day this week. Walkerton wants an agricultural society ;it wants some brick yards; ft wants a row of buildings, and it also wants some fire protection. Several couple of our young people attended a sleighing party on Friday night of last week at the residence of Mr. Bruniman, near this place. We desire to thank those friends who so kindly assisted ns during the last sickness of our little Ethel. Mr. and Mrs. Elwood McDaniel. G. D. Ewing, whose entire photographic outfit was destroyed by the fire, will erect a building on his residence lot in which he will open a new gallery. Sixty dollars a foot is the money asked for some of the lots in tho burnt district. There are but few lots In tho burnt row that were worth such money before the fire skinned them. The protracted meetings are still in progress at the U. B. church, with a large attendance each evening. Bev. Kegg, the pastor, has been doing some effective work for the cause of religion. There is a chance for some winter yet. Eight years ago the month of February gave us twenty-eight days of sleighing, and six years ago, m February, wo had fifteen days of good pingHere is a pointer for husbands, Let your wife chew gum. A young woman of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, chewed gum so constantly for tho past three months that the muscles of her jaws are now paralyzed and powerless. The event of the season in the way of a ball will bo the masquerade to be given in Bender’s hall on the evening of Feb. 21. It will be under the management of the Pleasure Club, whose dances during tho present season have been so pleasant and hucooskful. Prof. Brand’s Orchestra will provide the music. Some deny the utility of the chemical lire engine. It is said that they do very well to extinguish fire while oonfiued to the inside of buildings, but when fire bre'kb tL-G..gu the roof or walls of LwtcLr g.i hjj chemical engine is n. g. Wo arc incl./.e Ito the opinion that there is some misiaKe about this. They are down cn them in largo cities for outside work, but in all probability it is because they have buildings usually from three to ten stories high. Next will be the liveliest summer for Walkerton in its history. There's the Three I railroad, that will roach here next fall early; there’s the canning factory, which will probably swing into line next summer; there’s a whole block to be built up, besides tho natural growth, the progress of which nothing can impede; there’s the bank already in full blast, and will continue blasting; there’s the Agricultural Society to be looked after, together with various minor enterprises of which the Indpendent hears hints, which are likely to be set on foot, etc., etc., each of which will contribute its quota to the busy whirl in Walkerton next summer. Exchanges please copy. Dr. A. R. Neville, ofTeegarden, who has been attending Frank L. Johnson since he was shot, called at our office, Wednesday, and informed us that Mr. Johnson is now able to sit up and will almost certainly recover. Dr. Neville also gave us the particulars of a birth, such as is not, perhaps, found in any medical work. A female child was born to the wife of Cassius Bodine, one mde sab lof Teegarden. There was a p&rfccl body weighing ten pounds; attached to this, near the another body reaching almost to the middle of the thighs of the reject formed body. This malformation had no held. but when cut loose weigned ’lgLi pounds. The perfect child Lorn dead; the other of course had no Jie. —Plymouth Republican.
