It is said that Plymouth has the measles, and yet it wants the Three I railroad. Does that measley old town want tha earth ? 1 he-venerable D. W.

Horsemen will do well to call at the Independent office, see our stock of cuts and get prices of bills before placing their orders elsewhere. It makes them groan, but honest dealing will bring them. Give me a trial, I am anxious to please you. J. F. Reid, druggist. Honest dealing and low prices will win, and that’s the reason Ed Vincent, our furniture dealer, is having such an extensive business. Miss O, Millard has just returned from a stay of several days at Fort Wayne where she purchased a large assortment of millinery goods.

The Independent is pleased to note an improvement in the condition of the venerable D. W. Reece, of near North Liberty, who has been very ill for several weeks past. Marion Hammond, of this place, w ho is now working in Clark county, lowa, was thrown from a colt about three weeks ago and injured severely but not fatally, as was reported here. “It makes them groan." I should say it did, but only once, when they have to pay 80 cents for a prescription that you cau get filled at Endley’s wholesale drug house for 55 cents. The preachers, a host of them, are soon to meet in this place. It is hoped that they will look after Mr. Satan, who is still doing a reasonably good business here, as well as after the yellow legged chicken. It's going to keep the Independent busy to catch onto all the various improvements about town if they keep increasing at the present rate. However, they’ll not escape so easily—we’ll lump them by and by. Workmen began operations last Monday on Dr. Woodworth’s new frame building, in the burnt district. The dimensions of the building will be 27 feet front by 50 deep, and one story high. It is intended as a temporary structure, as the Doctor contemplates putting up a brick building after awhile. Bremen, Plymouth and Bourbon are crazy after the three I Railroad. — Starke County Rebublican. Now you’re cackling. NS alkerton is to be the beneficiary of that little scheme.

Let a man, who has no relatives in town or vicinity, break his leg, if you want to know just how- many doctors there are in Walkerton. They are nu- ' merous, and know just what ought to. ’ be done, when to do it and exactly how ’ to do it, whether they know, if 'there ’ are two bones or but one in the leg. 1 Indeed, the less they know about it the more .they know about it. A man who ; meets with the above misfortune under the circumstance depicted, would better by far be alone iu the depths of the jungle, for there he could die without ! the additional torture inflicted by the 3 numerous wiseacres. Os course the above remarks are not intended to reflect upon those gentlemen who have 1 made the science of medicine a study, V ■ The Independent office is constantly ’ adding to its facilities for doing job work, and all orders for stationery, . card and all kinds of commercial printing will be given prompt and careful attention. Call and see us. Second floor Rensbergor block, Avenue F, ’■ IS CONSUMPTION INCURABLE. Read the following: Mr. O. H.

Oh, it was Reid the druggist. Ho struck him with a bottle of P. & W. quinine. And it appears that even the elements shall not prevail against the unprecedented boom which has struck Walkerton, When in need of drugs or medicines give me a call, All goods new and fresh ; no old stuff; no back numbers at Reid’s. Ladies wishing dressmaking done please cal! on Mrs. M. Wright and Miss F. R Monroe, over the Racket Store. Cutting and fitting a specialty.

The widow Shoat-sley’s resilience, occupied py Dr. Reece and family, caught fire in the garret Monday evening bnt the blaze was discoverd and extinguished in time to prevent any damage. It is not known how the fire originated. Always glad to see you and quote prices. Am bound to do a square, reliable business with you. Call again. Yours truly, Reid. Druggist. “Who struck Billy Patterson ?” Nobody struck Billy. But about everybody who wants genuine drugs and at a reasonable price and wishing to go where they can get what they call for are striking for J. Endley’• drug house. That's who struck Billy Patterson, and don’t you forget it. We know and are willing to confess that we are a sinner, and realize the fact that we deserve punishment therefor. But that our sins are of sufficient magnitude to justify the further punishment of receiving obituary, and above all, raw spring poetry for publication, we deny. We therefore beg that our torturers inflict any other variety of punishment than compelling us to publish their obituary and spring poetry. We know of passengers going to Chicago by the way of the Lake Erie & Western of late. Whether they do this because of fear of riding over the B. & 0., we are unable to say. It is barely possible, however, that it is because they have no time-card, passengers being unable therefore to find out when they could go over the so-called B. &O. railroad. The Lake Erie & Western has a time card in this paper what’s more, they always pay for it. Passengers can go with perfect safety by that route, and make just as good time as they can by some others that we might mention. It is about as rare as hens’ teeth that you hear of a passenger wreck on the L. E. & W., remember that. Poor Billy Patterson! That was an awful blow. Do you think you could have got another ounce the same day if you had called for it ? From 100 to 200 ounces quinine—pure—at 40 cents an ounce, at Endley’s drug house. The Oratorical Contest. ’ The Demorest oratorical contest took place at the M. E. church last Wednesday evening betore an appreciative audience. r The Demorest oratorical contest is a movement in the interests of temperance, and 3 these contests are being held all over the t United States.

Miss Carrie Robbins was the successful contestant and was awaided the prize, a fine silver medal handsomely inscribed with the words, •‘Demorest” and .. “Prize.” All the orations in point of elon cution. etc., are spoken of in terms oi J praise by all who attended, who declare , e that they were highly entertained. The “ speakers, all of them, may well feel proud ,0 of the part they took in the contest. L ie is understood that another contest will b« held here in a few weeks.

The death of Kenneth Chapman Kneisley, of this place, occurrml at the residence of his brother, George Kueisley, of the Jslaud, on last Monday morning nt 9:30 o’clock. The cause of his death was consumption. He was taken ill about one year ago, and despite a strong constitution and excellent care, failed rapidly. Several weeks prior to his death he was taken to the Battle Creek Sanitarium for treatment, but his case being a hopeless one nothing could be dona for him and he returned home to die. The deceased liad been engaged in the barbering business fur about six years in this place, and was well ^nown and had numerous friends. He was born Oet- 20, 1864, and was therefore in his 2.5th year at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and one child—a boy aged alnnii 3 years—besides his mother, brothers and other relatives. The funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. Mathews at the Island church on Wednesday at 11 o’clock a. m., were attended by a large number of friends from town and surrounding country. After the services the remains were conveyed to the Walkerton cemetery and consigned to their final resting place. The sympathy of this community will be with the bereaved ones in their Sflliction.
