The Westville Indicator recently -closed its ninth year. It is a good local jonrnal. Mrs. J. E. 'Work, president of the Orphan’s Home at Mishawaka, took fourteen waifs to Nebraska, recently, where homes have been provided for them. The new fish law is so stringent that •a person may be heavily fined and sent to jail simply for having a seine or gill net in his possession. The Independent is still on hand, enjoying life, liberty, and the pursuit of somethting to take. But of all the weather during the past week—well, perhaps that is sufficient. Assessor Rinehart has completed his work of assesing the tax-payers of Lincoln township. It is a tedious job, and generally requires from 50 to 55 days to get through with it. A number of young people were pleasantly entertained at the residence of Esq. S. J. Nicoles on Wednesday evening. The party was given in honor of Mart and Frank Nicoles. Harry Hans, the notorious sporting character, of South Bend, died in that city a few days ago, of consumption from which he had been ailing for years. His age was 56 years. His career was i a very checkered one. Memorial services were held in the M. E. church last Sunday evening. Rev. Mathews delivered the sermon, and Jessie’Coppock Post, G. A. R., attended in a body. The sermon was an interesting one and well delivered. It you want a job of five or ten thousand, or more, impressions done, see us before letting the job. We will do' you good. Remember that we have a three hundred dollar job press with a big wheel, and can do your work at the rate of one thousand impressions an hour. An elegant new chair-car has been placed on the Michigan City divisou of the Lake Erie & Western railroad. The car is No. 116 and was turned out of the shops last week. There are thirty-four chairs in it and they can be inclined or turned in any direction to suit the comfort of the passenger. Mrs. H. S. Mintle, of English Lake, -sent a beautiful floral offering to this place on Memorial Day for the grave of her late husband, Henry S. Mintle. It was expressed in care of Henry Adel, The design was a cross worked Hn flowers of various colors, exquisitely blended, and artistically arranged, making a very handsome offering indeed. What’s the matter with Walkerton having a celebration on the Fourth of July ? Last year’s celebration here was a brilliant success which is proof that our town is capable of getting up a demonstration of this kind worthy the attention of the people. The success of a year ago can be repeated. Get together and talk up the matter. In 1849 Allen Hawks left a New York village to try his fortune in the gold fields of California. His family gave him up as dead and became scattered. Mrs. Joseph Brand, one of his daught■ers, living at Kingsbury, LaPorte county, has just been notified that he is dying and has SIOO,OOO to leave his heirs, The Elkhar papers call attention to the interesting fact that six years ago Tuesday there was a heavy snowfall in Elkhart, spoiling an excursion to Benton Harbor.—South Bend Times, May 24th. We can beat that. We had a snowstorm in this locality last Thursday May 30th, in which the flakes fell thick •■and fast for about two hours.

SAVE MONEY THE DRUGGIST

Buy your summer underwear of Tom Wolfe. Buy a hammock at Woodworth’s and enjoy life. Born, to the wife of John McDaniel, a son, Thursday, May 30. Say, did you see the rush at Vincent’s ? Low prices did it. The new directory of South Bend shows a population of over 25,000. Don’t fail to examine the Peerless Lightning Folding Binder before puichasing, Sold by A. Cunningham. Silverine watch cases reduced onehalf in price. Call and see prices at which Tom Wolfe is selling watches. Bro. Jernegan, of the Mishawaka Enterprise, will enlarge his paper to a six-column quarto and put in a faster press. Dr. Dayton. an old and prominent physician, of South Bend, died last Sunday morning. He was one of the first settlers of South Bend.

There is a large number of deinquents on our subscription books that should be settled at an early date. Please give this matter your attention. There is said to be a married man at Garrett who is pledged to wash the dinner dishes for four years, because he lost the wager with his wife that Cleveland would be president. The law making eight hours a day’s work, passed by the recent legislature, is now’ in force in this state. A corresponding reduction in the wages of employes may possibly follow in some instances as a result of this law. It is hinted that the Lako Erie & Western people will slick up their grounds here voluntarily. They should be urged, however, to sidewalk the square opposite the new row of business buildings, if nothing more. Private individuals have to build walks, wherever needed and the Lake Erie people should not be excepted. The postmaster-general suggests to the public: “Print your name and address on the left-hand corner of all mail matter. This will insure its immediate return if improperly addressed, or insufficiently paid; and if not called for at its destination it can be forwarded without going to the dead-letter office.” We can furnish you 500 best quality of envelopes printed as the above for $1.75. Suckers run at all seasons now-a-days. Twenty-two ran from tlws place to Bremen- last Monday evening to see John Robinson's great 4-ringed-10-shows-combined-frand, at that place. The 4 rings advertised by that concern had simmered down to one, and the performance to about as slim an affair as we ever witnessed. Such frauds ought to be discountenanced by the press, and everybody else, everywhere. The members of the town ' board agree with the Independent that they have the power vested in them to force the Lake Erie & Western R. R. company to sidewalk their grounds. But that they possess the power to force them to remove the miscellaneous, heterogeneous, promiscuous, mixed, mingled mass of cordwood, stone, hayracks, sawlogs, square timber, lumber and debris of divers sorts, they deny. An exchange observes that a supervisor who attends to all of his duties will find time to do little else. Heis supposed to be a policeman, to arrest offenders against the game laws; a policeman to arrest and take up all stock running at large in his district; a collector of road tax, and he is supposed to keep the streets, alleys and highways in good condition, to see that bridges are safe, and that grasses, weeds, filth, etc., arc removed from the roads. Owing to the very disagreeable weather the observance of Memorial Day was abandoned in this place. Snow’ fell for about two hours in the morning and finally terminated in a drizzling rain which continued the greater portion of the day, thus rendering out-door exercises utterly impossible. An elaborate program of exercises embracing speak* ing, singing, decoration of soldiers’ graves, etc., had been decided upon, and all arrangements completed for observing the day in a manner befitting the sacred occasion. It is to be regretted that the weather did not permit of a formal expression of reverence in commemoration of the heroic dead. The Argos Reflector says: ‘‘A stanger is canvassing the country around Argos for the sale of a “patent” lamp burner, which requires the use of a highly explosive fluid. One of these was purchased by Thompson Cannam, south of town and exploded, creating considerable consternation among the household, setting fire to several articles in the room, and inflicting painful burns on Mrs. Cannam in tho attempt to extinguish the flames. Persons purchasing the fluid are not made acquainted with its dangerous tendencies, and if serious accidents do not occur from its use in connection with these burners it will be more on account of good luck than any thing else.” In connection with this the Bremen Enquirer says: '“The same person, whose name is Brown, also canvassed the vicinity of Bremen and was successful in selling many of his burners, which have since proved very dangerous.”

Latest styles in hats and caps at Tom Wolfe's. Yes, I buy my carpets at Vincent’s. Low prices and good goods. Got your wheat exchanged for flour at the Stillwell mill. Cash paid for wheat. Kyndkr & Hanson. The Nappanee base ball team which carried the belt as the champion among the amateur clubs of Northern Indiana last season, is not playing this year. Carter, the second Singer sewing machine agent to skip from LaPorte, left a wife and many debts. Both he and his predecessor, who also skipped, are said to be in Illinois. “Thore oncowas a bravo of tho Sioux Who into a gun muzzle blioux, To see if it ’twas loaded— The rifle exploded, As ho ought to have known it would dioux.” The car works at Michigan City, the Dispatch says, are practically shut down, and 800 men thrown out of employment. The Dispatch says it is a blow at the business interests of Michigan City, but hopes that it may be only temporary. The Baltimore American says: “A good citizen and a just man is the highest development of civilization. He can bo relied upon. He is the pillar of good government, whether he be President or a man who never held office. Ho is strong because he is safe; powerful because ho is honest, and influential because he is just." A recent dispatch from LaPorte to the Indianapolis Sun says: “It is currently reported that tho Huncheon brothers of Dewey township have sold their 8,000 acre hay and stock farm for $250,000. This is by far the highest price ever known to have been paid for Kankakee marsh land in this locality, and it is believed to be solely attributable to the proposed removal of the Momence dam. An exchange has the following, “Yea, verily! Blessed is the man who sitteth not in the seat of the kicker, nor mingles in the congregation of the mossback; but his delight is in new railroads and brick blocks, and in schemes to build up himself and his town. And he shall be like an evergeoen tree planted by the river of waters; his leaf shall not wither in the early cotton wood, for tho Eli of tho boomer shall get there, but the kicker shall be left to hold tho bag.” By tho grand secretary’s report tho I. O. O. F. of this state is shown to be in a flourishing condition. He made the following report: “Brothers relieved in the past six months, 1,682; widows relieved, 154; amount expended in relief and for charitable purposes, $53,066; number of lodges now effective, 554; membership, 30,839; resources cf all lodges, $1,753.85. Tke Rebekah lodges had a total membership of 8.238 at the close of the year, again of 1,569; total assets, $9,078.15."

Tho Notre Dame Scholastic says: Our venerable father founder, tho Very Rev. Father Sorin, left Notre Dame on Thursday for another trip across the Atlantic, which will make the fortyninth since tho beginning of his groat life-work in this country, which has been so signally blessed and magnified throughout the world. Important affairs of the community call him now to Rome. He is accompanied by tho Rev. P. Franciscus, at one time a member of the faculty of Notre Dame, who will take charge of the House of the Congregation in the Eternal City. The victim of one of Heywood’s jokes at Mentone mailed a dozen or more postal cards to as many different persons in Argos, casting reflections on the Heywood concert company’s entertainment, with the object, no doubt, of curtailing their receipts at this place. The cards had an effect just the opposite of what was intended. No company that ever showed here had a larger house. Our people knew Heywood and how to appreciate a good show. Heywood couldn’t have devised a better advertising scheme, had he originated the idea himself.— Argos Reflector. LOOK UERE! LOOK HERE! And don’t say there is a Twine Trust when you can get it for 14 cents at S. A. Robbins’. INDEPENDENT STOKE! Immediately after J. Endley vacates tho room ho now occupies as a drug store the room will bo overhauled and fitted up for a notion store and news depot. Tho Independent will occupy the rear rooms, and tho front, about 16x35 feet, will be jammed full of stationery of all grades and kinds, notions of every description, base ball outfits, croquet outfits, fishing outfits, rubber goods, albums, perfumes, fine candies, and to make a long story short, every conceivable article in tho way of notions and toys. One leading feature of the Independent Store will bo that a full line of periodicals, novels, etc., will bo kept constantly on hand, and at prices lower than ever before sold in the town •of Walkerton. j. Endley & Endley.

Have you seen those Cheval suits at Vincent’s? They are cheap and nice, Clipp, the Starke county peddler who mysteriously disappeared, has not yet been heard from. It is a fact that the people appreciate a new, fresh and pure stock of Drugs and Medicines. We judge from our fast increasing trade. M. Woodworth & Co. “A dashing young damsel of Ga. Was a moonshiner, burglar and fa,; But her neighbors cried : ‘My, What turpitude! why, She’s a second Lucrezia Ba.’ ” The city of Elkhart has fallen into line with several other cities of the state and raised its saloon license to $250. The increasing of the liquor license is becoming a general thing throughout tho state. Tho Pierceton Record says: “The people of this section have not forgotten the crime for which Joseph Plew is now serving a life sentence in prison. The only survivor of the tragedy, Mrs. Lucy Dunham, has never been able to give any clear information concerning what transpired that terrible night at the Dumham residence. To all appearances she is enjoying as good health as sho ever did, physically, but her mind cannot recall those events in which the public were at one time deeply interested. Alba Heywood, the inimitable impersonator and character actor, supported by his excellent concert company, gave one of his refined and pleasing entertainments in Bender’s opera hall on last Tuesday evening, to a good bouse. It was Mr. Heywood’s second appearance here, and as he had a much larger attendance this time than last season, it was proof positive of his merits, as the people of Walkerton are slow to patronize a show unless they know it io be one of merit. Mr. Heywood certainly has few, if any, superiors as an impersonator. Miss Anna Miller, the violin soloist, Dewey Heywood, the flute virtuoso, ami Clint Heywood, the baritone soloist, with organ accompaniment by Miss Henrietta Zimmerman, furnished some tine orchestral selections during the intervals between acts. They are all fine musicians, and especially Miss Miller, who ranks far above the average as a performer on tho violin . The company, on the whole, is a first-class one, and deserving of the liberal patronage of tho public. Should they return to our town next season, as they undoubtedly will, wo bespeak for them a full house, Base ball matters seem to be quiet here this spring.

[L&l’orte Herald,] Wilkesbarre, 1’ v, May 18.- Last night Sol Bunnel, tho well-known horsoman, died in this city, at the residence of his father-in-law, 11. C. < hipham, where tho deceased and family have been for a few weeks, since their arrival from Indiana. The cause of his death was consumption. Tho remains were buried to-day at Meshoppen, his boyhood homo. A poetic editor says: “There was a man in our town who was wondrous wise, for when he marked his prices down, ho then did advertise. And when he saw his trade increase with all his might and main, he lower did mark every price and advertised again. And when he advertised again, his rivals loudly swore to see folks rush with might and main to patronize his store. And while they sat in solitude and watched him custom win, the man behind tho counter stood and raked tlm shekels in. And when he raked the shekels in and saw his fortune rising, he took a goodly lot and kepton advertising. Each day a generous man he'd sink and demonstrated plain, the more one pays for printers ink the greater is the gain." Bismarck predicts exciting times in Germany at no distant day.
