Many of the towns and cities in Indiana are falling into line in this respect. In tho majority f cases the figures are $l5O for towns and $250 for the cities. - Here is a timely suggestion from an exchange: “If our farmer readers who have horses in pastures fenced with barbed wire would plow a furrow or two around the pasture inside the fence, the danger would not be as great as without. The stock will be able to distinguish the line at night and thus avoid being horribly mangled and perhaps killed" The little grain lice are said to bo raising havoc with the wheat all over Indiana. M. Northam showed us samples of wheat heads the other day from Harry Granger’s farm, near this place, wbidh were thickly covered with little green insects. Many of the wheat fields in this locality are infested with these insects, but whether they are the destructive grain lice above mentioned remains to be seen.

The slang phrase—“in the soup"— going the rounds of tho press is becoming a very musty chestnut. “How many of our comrades of those days paid the dying price for our preserved Union! Let their heroism and sacrifices be ever green in our memory.”—General Grant. Macy, this State, was cycloned last Sunday. Freight cars were hoisted from the track, shade trees blown down, houses unroofed and much other damage done, but no lives were lost. Tully Henry, of Stillwell, mention of whose insanity is made elsewhere in this paper, was taken to the asylum at Logansport by the sheriff of LaPorte county on Friday of last week.

The cold rain of week before last killed a great many sheep that had just been sheared, throughout the county. Mentone Gazette. Has He who tempers the winds to the shorn sheep abandoned you entirely? A new serial will soon commence in this paper entitled “ ’Twixt Life and Death, or under Medical Science,” a story of the Franco-Prussian war. The author is Robert Buchanan. It is a serial of thrilling interest and some historic value. The Mentone Gazette man's got ’em! He’s in the second stage! Should he run on into the third stage and get to seeing ghosts and hob-goblins lie’s a goner! He’s already constantly bat tli ng with snakes, frogs and tad-poles! He has a paragraph or two about them in almost every issue of his paper. Mentone whisky must be what politicians would call raw material. Charley Stephens, our grain buyer, is of tho opinion that the little green insects supposed to be grain lice, will do little or no damage to the wheat in this locality. He has carefully investigated the matter, closely examining wheat heads covered with these insects, but has thus far failed to discover any indications of injury to the grain. He believes that the insect subsists on the sap from the leaves, and not from the substance ol the grain. Thomas Jolly, of this place, was 71 years old on Friday of last wet and a number of his neighbors and friends, together with bis children and stepchildren, gave him a pleasant surprise in honor of the event. Among the presents received by tho old gentlemnn was an easychair, pair of idipp< rs, handkerchiefs, etc . At the proper hour the guests sat down to a fine dinner. Tho relatives present were John Jolly and family, of Stark county; Wil liam Jolly and family, of Wellsboro; Mrs. Johns, of Walkerton, Mrs. Dipert, of Starke county; L. F. Paul ami family, Walkerton. Tho Fourth of July is bound to come to Walkerton. The committees appointed at the meeting held in Bender’s hall last week, have been faithful in discharging their several duties in the way of making full and complete arrangements for a big time on that day, and report favorable progress in every department. Good speakers have been selected, plenty of competent assistant marshals have been chosen to assist the Chief Marshal of the Day, Ed McCarty, and all arrangements appear to be as complete as the projectors of the day’s doings could wish. Tho majority of our merchants and business men have declared their intention of representing their respective business in the industrial parade, and nothing but opposing elements can now prevent a big day in Walkerton. A dispatch from New Carlisle to the Chicago Herald of June 15, says: J. B. McCumber, for thirteen years in the employ of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad and for the last seven years agent at this place, was last week dismissed from the company’s service. To-day McCumber addressed a large crowd of farmers in Lancaster’s Opera House. He characterized the grain department of the Lake Shore road as a gigantic thieving institution, and said that he had been discharged because he did not steal grain enough to satisfy some of tho officials. Ho fortified his statement with figures alleged to have been taken from tho books of the New Carlisle office. For the past seven years the grain department received in. surplus wheat, after making allowances for shortage, 21,360 pounds. By corrected weights from the Lake Shore elevator at Toledo the farmers, he alleged, had been robbed of 40,000 pounds more. From all the stations west of Toledo he said that the farmers lost 10,000 bushels of wheat annually. A sensation was caused when the speaker produced false weights equal to 12 pounds, which he said was on tho scales when he came to the station ahd had been there since. In an interview he added that L. Ballinger, scale tester for the road, admitted a few days ago that be had recently taken several loaded weights from elevators along tho road. McCumber has stirred up the company and an investigation is being made. The entire farming community is arroused ami will probably push tho matter against the road.

Forepaugh will be at South Bend June 20th. R. P. Hollyday has built a very neat barn on his residence lot. Several of the neighboring towns postponed Decoration Day until last week on account of the rain. Tho Marshall county fair will bo held at the fair grounds near Plymouth September 24, 25, 26 and 27. The grand industrial parade to be held in Walkerton on the 4th of July will alone be worth coming miles and miles to see. “ The Johnstown Horror, ortho Valley of Death,” is the book you want to read. Milo Knepp, of this place, has the agency for it. Those wishing to act as agents for this book should apply early to him. D. W. Place is now located in his new office building, on Avenue F. The building has two rooms which are neatly and conveniently arranged for office business. Attorney Nicoles occupies a part of the building. While playing ball on the L. E. X W. Railroad grounds on Friday evening of last week John Miller suffered the dislocation of his left ankle, and has been confined to his room at the Florence Hotel ever since in consequence of the accident. Married.—Mr. Perry Redmond and Miss Hattie Rinehart, daughter of Lou Rinehart, in Walkerton, Sunday evening. June 16. All are residents of this locality. The ceremony was performed by Justice Townsend, at the residence of the latter. Bernard Fust committed suicide in LaPorte on Friday of last week, by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. He attempted to end his life in a similar way a few weeks ago. Temporary insanity, resulting from family trouble, was the cause of the act, He was about fifty years old. PicNlc!

One thing seemed to still prey u|H«r his mind, ami he asked us if we thought it would be -safe for him to citi es the Ex terminator at Walkerton. We told him that there could scarcely beany danger, although no harm could come of keeping a careful lookout while crossing. The Lake Erie and Grand Trunk l>oth have time cards. For some time Tully J. Henry, living with his parents near Stillwell Junction, has been acting rather strangely. Thinking something was wrong his mother brought him to this city to have him examined. Ho had no sooner stepped out of tho buggy than he ran away and the officers were called upon to capture him. They finally overtook him and placed him in jail. Here ho suddenly began to rave and it took six men to place him in a cell. He refuses to wear clothes or to bo comforted. Tho tender ago of the patient renders tho case an extremely sad one. The physicians have judged him insane and preparations are being made to take him to Indianapolis.—LaPorte Herald. Childrens’ Day services were held at the United Brethren church last Sunday morning at the Sabbath-school hour. The exercises were in charge of Superintendent John Strang, assisted by Rev. Kegg. The church was filled with a large and highly interested audience. The title of the service was, “The Gospel of the Birds ” The room was handsomely adorned with plants, flowers, etc., and several cages containing birds were suspended in different parts of tho church. The program comprised songs, declamations and class exercises, all of which were rendered in a> manner highly complimentary to the participants and to those under whose charge the exercises were conducted. Rev. Kegg preached a sermon for the little ones in the evening. EupcpNy. This is what you ought to have, in fact, you must have it, to fully enjoy life.

About 2:30 p. m. last Saturday, a cyclone struck Ligonier, Indiana, which completely demolished the bridge over Elkhart river. The Ligonier House, several dwellings and business houses were unroofed. A number of small residences, barns and outbuildings were blown down. There was no loss of life but the estimated damage to property is $12,000 to $15,000. Let no one forget that our Catholic friends will picnic on the Fourth of July at this plade. Take the above fact in connection with the great celebration that is to come Dff here on that day, it would seem as it next Fourth of July would be tho liveliest day in Walkerton known tu its oldest citizens. We feel so confident in making the statement that it will be the biggest day Walkerton has over known that we have no hesitancy in making you this offer, namely, that should it be a failure we will take it all back, the elements to be taken into account, of course. An Editors Hereafter. An editor died and slowly wended his way down to where he supposed a warm reception awaited him. The devil met him and said: “For many years thou hast borne the blame for the errors that the printers made in the papers. Tho paper has gone, alas’ at one dollar. Alas! theone dollar lias often failed tocomeiu. The printers have bedeviled thee for wages on Saturday night when thou hast not a cent to thy name. Men have taken the paper without paying for it. and cursed tin e for not getting up a better paper. Thou hast been called a dead beat ami fraud by men who were both, .ill these things thou hast 1 rue in silt nee. T ho.; const not com- hero.” And ht tired him. As he did so lie murmured to himself: “Heaven’., his Emio, and b ’sides, if we had L t 1 na eomu in In re he would have beet continually dunuiug bis de | linquent subscribers, and thus create disced in my kingdom.” Commercial Reporter.
