A, ENDLEY, Pi bushkr. • WALKERTON, INDIANA, AUGUST 8,188 S The pious editor of the Macy Monitor annonnocs that ho is open for a scriptural argument. Tho farmers in Chicago are said to ho quße despondent. Tho recent heavy ralus are likely to drown the corn crop. Had a big time at Albion last Saturday, Three prisoners broke jail, two getting away. Sheriff pretty badly licked. Martin Burke, Hie Cronin suspect, goes back to Chicago from Winnipeg, Miwitoba, to be tried for murdering Dr, Cronin. “ Huckleberry Hell,” near Walkerton, la still roaring.- Indianapolis Suu Ah! As loud as the rows of dives in Indianapolis? Tho editor of the Stark County Ledger says they have tho best water there in the world. Wonder how an editor ever made such a discovery! The Montono Gazette prints a detailed account of the Rev. Talmage Sunday at Masinkuekee. To those not familiar with that resort, and we might say to those who arc, it makes interesting reading. Tho Avilla News has squatted down on Corporal Tanner and calls him “the reckless plunger of the pension bureau.” That settles the Corporal’s hash. Soldiers, stand back. John L. Sullivan has at last been arrested for fighting with Kilrain. Things have come to it pretty pass when a man can't wallop tho stuffing out of another without being annoyed by the petty authorities, such as governors and tho like. । । ■■ Lot tho law in regard to cruelty to animals be enforced. The man who has no feeling for a brute is worse than H brute and ought to be made accountable by the penalty of tjio law,— Stark County Ledger. If our opinion’s worth shucks, that's business. grrararfnraran .i The Walkerton Independent of last week throw some hot shot into the nest of the “Huckleberry Queen.” —Mentone Gazette, Now you can see how little you know about such things. That great big ißoster)y sheet, the Avilla four-column, says it was “milk and water temerity." What a novel spectacle the average Chicagoan must have presented last Sunday when that city was almost submerged with water and he compelled to plod about in that, to him, queer fluid and his beer supply cut off. The great deluge on Saturday night, and tho closing of the saloons on Sunday, certainly was a shockingly sudden transition for tho average Chicagoan. Tyiiat’s the matter with tho Avilla News, anyhow ? It last week made a vigorous attempt to fake a comfortable seat upon us for our course in reference to tho whortleberry grounds, situated about four miles from here and in another county. Tho Independent denounced, in reasonably strong terms, tho wickedness going on there. Rut the four-cqlqmn, it seems, would have us render tho atmosphere blue with epithets and use objectionable language jn our denunciations of all, good and bad alike, who may go there. The South Bond Times, one of our pwst valued exchanges, after clipping what we said about tho devdishposs —practiced at tho huckleberry marsh, comments thusly: If pur memory serves ns right it was thia same Brother Endley whoso caustic pen fairly soared the hides of certain newspapers that less than a year ago •lid not say anything like such bad things about Huckleberry Hell. May be this was Endleys’ first visit. Oh, no, wo had hovered in that region before. But lot ns correct a mistaken idea of this business. If Brother Stoll will show us oro phrase, onp sentence or one paragraph ever written by that ’‘caustic pen” in defense of tho devils and their devilishness, we will set up the lemonade with a very largo stick in it. It has boon the practice to quite a considerablo extoqt of the newspaper fraternity in the region round abput to score, slur and attempt to disgrace and belittle Walkerton on account of that famous resort in question. We think that it is safe to say that up fair-minded editop in this section of country will deny that. We therefore, as we bp lieve others would have done under like circumstances. have all along attempted in our feeble, way, to defend W alkerton and the decent poor people who go to the marsh for honorable and legitimate purposes. M ill Bro. Stoll accent the explanation ?

Hndly sells the best drug’s for the least moneys

“Milk nml Waler.” Tho big hut'klobrnTy marsh near Walkerton is now running full bluet. It is safe to any that nt pruHent there cannot on the two hemispheres bo found a place where so much misoelUnoous deviltry flourishes undisturbed. Thieving, gambling, prostitution, almost every known crime is practiced in open defiance of tho law with si reckless audacity that assurance of security alone can encourage. The editor of the Walkerton Independent attempts to denonnco tho outrages committed, but -his mild milk and water courage fails him before he gets well started, and, astounded nt Ids own temerity, ha stops, saying nothing that will pass without a tremendous discount. -Avilla News. If the News really wished to prove the Independent's " milk and water temerity,’ 1 why did it not have tho fairness to publish what it said in reference to the matter, and then proceed with its ad verse comments? Below is reproduced just what we said concerning the doings there, and which the little News in its untold wisdom (?) essays to criticise: "Every branch of business there from a chuck luck board up to a dancing floor, is called by tho natives, a ‘store.’ in that town. Two dancing floors arc running to their fullest capacity. Indeed, it was not an unusual thing to see the gay laday (?) full from the platform and the reader will please imagine the rest. We do not pretend to say but that respectable people go there, and that they remain there for tho purpose of doing a legitimate and respectable business, and that respectable people visit Hie place. But while the above is true, it is also true that the most depraved and Godforsaken of humanity congregate there for no other purpose than the commission of all acts low and reprehensible. The authorities of Marshall and Stark counties are certainly censurable for such dereliction of duty as to permit without any attempt whatever to restrain tho devilishnoss practiced there especially on Sunday." What more would the News have the Independent say? Does the News dare deny that respectable people go there and for legitimate purposes? Does the News want us to call the “depraved and Godforsaken” by a lot of low, dirty names, instead of tho above? Does the Nows wish us, instead of saying "congregate there for no other purpose than the commission of all acts low and reprehensible," to go on and enumerate the acts one by one, or what does the little four-column want ? Doos it know ? Such old veterans, men of acknowledged newspaper ability, as the Valparaiso Messenger, and various others clipped what the Independent said of the devilishness going on at the marsh, without finding fault. But it appears that it was left for the wise one of the four-oolumn to discover the “milk and water temerity” of the Independent. However, wo forego further comment, for it is kind to be lenient toward the inexperienced. NORTH LIBERTY. A. O. Lentz and William Cimmormnn, of South Bend, were in the villageover Sunday.
