Patrons will please remember this. There has been considerable sickness in Walkerton during the last two or three weeks. There is a little whooping cough in town —just enough to remind one that there is such a pest. Many strange faces were seen upon our streets this week, as well as many other strange things. ■Jack Wolfenbarger has neatly fitted up a suit of living rooms above the main loor of his livery barn. Two new buildings have been erected on the burnt district the Wolfenbargers’ and Elwood McDaniel’s “Joe, why do you sell quinine for 40 cents an ounce?” “Because I buy it in one and two hundred ounce lots." Get your sale bills printed at the Independent office and you cau have a free notice of the sale in the paper. Bert Williams is about completing his little palace residence. It is the neatest little residence in town by a handsome majority. It is said that “mistakes are no ha}•stacks.’’ The mistakes of Brother Place and Brother Byers were certainly “ram-rod” hay-stacks. Horsemen will do well to call at the Independent office, see our stock of auts and get prices of bills before placing their orders elsewhere. Jim Lampson, formerly of this place, now of Starke county, will build a residence at Hamlet and make that town his permanent abiding place. Ladies call at the Stephens Store Co.’s and see those elegant new dress goods. Challies, beautiful goods for summer dresses, and fine Francaise cloth just received. It makes them groan, but honest dealing will bring them. Give me a trial, I am anxious to please you. J. F. Reid, druggist. When yon order job work order it with the understanding that it must be cash or you need not expect to get it, hereafter. We have been imposed upon in that way for the last time. Job work must be cash. All manner of remarks concerning the samples of marsh hay exhibited upon our sidewalks last Thursday were prevalent. One bad fellow said that a high-toned cow would ignore it even to lie upon; Others thought that it was plenty good enough for a Democrat. A temperance meeting was held at the M. E. church Tuesday evening, and the feasibility of organizing a Good Templars’ society was discussed by various individuals present. Mr. Miller, of South Bend, representing the Good Templars, was present and explained the principles and workings of the organization. An effort will be made tc form a society here.

Endley’s wholesale drug house, not for STUFF but drugs. 1 order once a week. The boys have been forbidden by the marshal to carry sling-shots upon the streets. A little girl in this place had one of her eyes nearly destroyed recently by one of these dangerous playthings. Those gentlemen that the Independent appointed some time ago to take the initial steps in organizing an agricul tural society w’ill have their appointments rescinded if they don’t move in the matter soon. The commencement exercises of the Walkerton high school will take place in about six weeks. There are five students who have fair prospects of completing their course of studies at the end of the present year, and two who have received diplomas from County Superintendent Moon. William Rausted, formerly of tliis place, but who for the past few months has resided in South Chicago, where he held a position as section foreman on the B. & O. railroad, died at his home in that place on last Saturday night, from the effects of internal injuries received a few days prior to his death, while engaged in heavy lifting. His remains were taken to Tyner for burial on Monday. ’ Walkerton is booming now. W. A. Dailey has completed a pleggy neat ! little office on Seventh street, and Del Hudelmyer is erecting one on the corner of Avenue F and Seventh street, and Dsn Beall and Elwood McDaniel are rushing their buildings and painters Cowan and Pool arc fast completing their fine residences, to say nothing of the new barns and the [new this, that and the other, all over town, while the McConnell bank is still open for busii ness. Hurrah for Walkerton! Mrs. William Wolfe, mention of ithose death was made in this paper last week, was buried last Saturday at ’ Ligonier, whither she had gone a few weeks before to visit her sister, at whose home she died. The disease 1 which caused her death is said to have been heart trouble. She was for many 5 vears a resident of this place, and was highly esteemed by all her acquaintt ances. She was a sister of John Hostetter, of this place. 1 The Independent office is^ constantlyadding to its facilities for doing job j work, and all orders for stationery, , ! card and all kinds of commercial printing will be given prompt and careful o attention.

Tho Walkerton Comedy Company, which appeared at It iuL r’s op ra Lull last Friday and Saturday evenings in that popular ned lively comedy, “Pock's Bad Boy," played to a fair house both evenings, but the company deserved a better patronage than the received. The play is one devoid of plot but what it lacks iu that direction is fully compensated for ’w its life and humor. The main character, Hiram Peek. Esq., who was the principal victim of the two bad boys, was assumed by R. E. Cunningham, who, for an amateur, performed his part remarbublv I *• * I well. Th. uthn iu Hie ee. 4 sustained i their respective parts in a very commendable manner. The cast of characters wr. as follows: Henry P<ek (always up to mischief). Lon Rogers; Johnny Smith (his ehum (, Ruy Vincent; Hiram Peck, Esq , (the principal victim), R- E. Cunningham; Solomon Isaacs (proprietor of tho little grocery on the corner >, Frank Hostetter; Rev. Whang-Doodle Baxter (onr pastor and mutual friend), C. D. Foster; Officer Ryan (one of the bravest), Sam Cunningham; Ah Sin ■ a celestial laundry owner), O. L. Daugherty; Miss Lillian Aubrey (teacher of elocution), Miss Rose Nichols; Mrs. Smith (who later becomes Mrs. Peck No 2), Mrs. C. D. Foster; Betty (who doesn’t mind sorrow in spite of reverses), Miss Lula Nichols. The entertainment closed each evening with a very comical farce. The company will probably appear in another play in the course of a few weeks. Grand Combination Sale of I ■ Studebaker • Horses, April 3& 4, 1 ‘ AT SOUTH BENDTwo Days.

The unwelcome news reached this place Thursday that Nick Schroeder, of Davenport, lowa, was dead. He was taken suddenly ill on last Sunday f om a stroke of paralysis which rendered him speechless, and ho rapidly sank, dying on Tuesday. Nick had a large acquaintance hereabouts, from his extensive connection with the huckleberry interests of this locality. Ho was own* r of a large portion of the huexlebcrry marsh lauds four miles from this place, and regularly every season for years he has come here to buy and ship berries. Mr. Schroeder leaves a wife and several children. He had an insurance on his life for about*sC> ’•"» He was about 11 years of age. and a pushing, energetic business man. He was a nephew of Claus Dvbx us, vs ihi.i place. A Srtious lirident. Dr. I. W. Church, of this place, while in his room at the Florence house on Inst Tin.'■day, between the hours of 11 o'clock ami 2 o’clock, by some unknown means, fractured both bones of the lower right leg. The gravity of the ease was not known until about 9 o’clock in the evening when the Doctor called David Tingley, connected with the hotel, and told him that he had injured his leg and requested him to look after it. Mr. Tingley, on removing the Doctor’s shoe, etc., found the limb badly swollen, terribly contused and very black. Physicians were called who pronounced it a fracture of both bones, and a very dangerous one also. Dr. Meyer, of LaPorte, was called on Wednesday, who, after examining the injury, gave it as his opinion, or rather, expressed fears that an amputation would be necessary. At this writing, however, tho doctors in attendance feel quite sanguine that all will be well with the Doctor yet. They say that the wound is doing as well as can be expected. Tho Doctor has a vigorous constitution and is the very embodiment of health; all of which gives tho doctors great encouragement. .4 Scrap of paper Saves Her I He.
