WALKERTON, INDIANA, JULY 27 ( 1889 It is reported that the recent hot weather gave the corn crop quite a start in Chicago. The Wabash railroad shops at Butler were burned last week. Loss SIOO,OOO. Even the Salvation Anny talks of ' leaving Ligonier. What sort of a town must 'it be ? Five men are to be hanged in New York, August 23. Working them off in job lots, you see. It is said that the wheat yield of Dakota this year will bo 30,0000,000 bushels short of last year. The Indianapolis Sun may say: Walkerton good town, Booming, Ren.Hon, eitizons enterprising. One hundred and seventeen horses were burned to death in one burn last Sunday in New York City. Chicago is bidding loudly for the world’s fair, The fight appears to be between Chicago and New York. John L. Sullivan got hia 120,000 last Tuesday tor licking Jake Kilrain. He set ’em up to the boys right lively all that day. Jcfhn L. Sullivan was so tickled over the $20,000 that he got last Tuesday for whipping Jake Kilrain that he new wants to fight some more. Hiram Hoodley shot his wife, father-in-law and himself at Edgerton. Ohio, last Sunday. They all died. He was out of sorts because his wife wanted a divorce. The Indianapolis Sun, the greatest condenser on earth, has gone and got bigger. It's now a seven column folio. But then its all natural for the Sun to rise. The Goshen and Kendallville papers , are trying to steal Middlebury’s car- " ’ Hage shops. But the Independent of that place is guarding them with an eagle eye. It sets the would-be thieves up a red-hot dish in its last issuj. Eight young lady picnickers were Standing on a platform at Adrian, Mich., to have their pictures taken. Just as ? the artist snapped the camera the platform gave way and the fair subjects fell over backward. The negative has been suppressed. Oklahoma City, Ok., is enjoying a first-class fight between the city government and its adherents, and the kickers, who attempted to hold a special election July 16th, instead of the regular election of July 22nd. Police and military interference were necessary to restrain the kickers, and it looks like the fight had just begun. One sultry summer Sunday morning when Plymouth church was well filled the eminent divine, Henry Ward Beecher, slowly arising from his seat behind the pulpit and wiping the sweat from his face began by saying with considerable emphasis: “It’s hot; yes, it’s damned hot.” Without any other remarks for several moments he slowly arranged books and papers on his desk ‘while his congregation looked with astonishment. Then, after the pause, ho added: “Such were the words I heard just before entering the church this v morning and I will now endeavor to show you the silliness of wicked and profane language. — TEEGARDEN. Health is good. The oat harvest is here. L. L. Lemert & Co. are buying and ^hipping wheat from this place. Nathan Bunch, the Superintendent of the County farm, was in town Tuesday. David Thompson was the first man to deliver wheat here at seventy two cents a bushel. The threshing machine whistle is now heard in our neighborhood to call the farmer. Smith Davis our enterrpising farmer hadj a yield of wheat of thirty threebushels per acre. Jasper Morris, of this place, had his watch stolen while at the whortleberry marsh last Sunday. Norman Allen while at the marsh was shot at three times last Sunday gnd lost no tjme in finding the oak grub^. The holiness band is holding meetings at this place this week, D. M. Berber, Dan Rickie and families Were over at Michigan City prison Satday and Sunday visiting 8, F. Marti#. Tfeey report him in good health. jApK.

Her nge was 25 years. The funeral services were conducted by Eider Adam Massena. Her remains were buried in the Fairmount cemetery.

Michael Trump, an aged and respectable citizen, and Christian gentleman, died at his home one and a half miles northwest of this place last Friday evening, in the 76th year of his age. His illness was of short duration. His funeral sermon was preached last Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Samuel Gettig, at the large Dunkard church, four miles northwest of this place, to a large congregation, after which the remains were deposited in Fair cemetery.

You car sui ly ; ;:f.c4 r . tin -imi I thug l peanut b j / ‘of j nmg proof win u ; made i.. ens f The last weer: in rucording a Sabbath stroll through South Chicago at the great whortleberry marsh speaks of gathering the nows in that den of iniquity, and We thinK it about right in regard to the whortleberry marsh, for the way things are carried oil there on the Sabbath day it is a wonder it does Hot meet the fate of Sodom of old. It is almost equal to the slums of New YorK for some of the most depraved wretches Wo ever saw are to be found there. As the Independent remarKs, there are respectable people who go there to carry on a legitimate and respectable business and that respectable people go there to visit the place, but the majority appear to be there to see how base and low they can maKe themselves appear. You can see both women and men druuK using obscene language and performing acts to public gaze that are shameful. It is not a fit place for respectable people to go to. What is the matter with the authorities ’of Starke and Marshall counties that they don’t taKe this matter in hand ? Pedro. KNOX Real estate is steadily advancing in price. Our County Superintendent is holding a Normal School in Knox. The farmers have finished their wheat and rye harvest which was abundant in yield, Mrs. Dorcas Baldwin died on the 21th at the residence of her son, Win. Baldwin. She was 73 years old.

Heilman, died on the 20th. She left a husband and six children, the youngest being about 5 days old.

A few days ago fire destroyed about 75 tons of marsh hay on the farm of William Robinson. The hay belonged to D. W. Place. Just how the fire originated has not been ascertained.
