The Noble county fair begins live weeks from next Tuesday. Here’s the funniest thing yet. Vab paraiso’s without a band! Move over here. One hundred years ago or so not a hustle was worn in the United States. Now look at our bustles! Martin Burke, who is supposed to be one of the Cronin murderers, was lauded in Chicago last Monday night. The Milford Mail is an economical sort of a fellow. It complains loudly of the boys in that town wasting water. The Michigan City car works have opened up in full force again, but the LaPorte papers won’t publish it to the world, complains the Dispatch. Tascott has been arrested again. This time at Laredo, Texas. If the report is a truthful one ’ does look ns if they had the real Snell murderer this time. The South Bend Times knows of an old man, aged 80 years, who offers five thousand dollars fora wife. Now. men, there's a chance to sell out at a right nice figure. Jake Kilrain was arrested last Monday at Ocean Grove, Virginia. He's gone down to Mississippi to see his old friends, John L. Sullivan and Governor Lowry. The Chesterton Tribune wants the town mowed. Thinks Chesterton would be a nice town if the grass and weeds could be murdered out. Reminds us of dull old LaPorte. The Plymouth Democrat likes Sam Jones. Thinks he's a nice man. Says Sam tells the truth. Well, it seems to us as if telling the truth would be about the proper caper for a preacher. Spokane Falls, a thriving city in Washington Territory was destroyed by lire last Sunday night. Twenty-five solid blocks were burned up. the loss amounting to about fourteen millions of dollars. Only one life is reported to have been lost. Wm. Lehr’s safe was blown open in Bremen one night last week and about one hundred and fifty dollars in money and jewelry taken therefrom. This is the second safe blowing occurring in Bremen in the last few weeks. They have no night watch, like Walkerton. The Argos Reflector thinks that the ordinary country town fair is about the thinnest thing on record. Thinks that about all they amount to is to furnish opportunities for the scalpers to wallop the verdant horn out of his dollar and a quarter, or something to that effect. At last accounts a cyclone was loose in Indiana. It probably will have to be pacified with a postoffice —Chicago Daily News. ’Tis well! The postofilce has been handed over, and the cyclone has gone west to blow up w ith the country. Mr. Martin Burke is to be congratulated this morning on the pleasure which he must derive from breathing the fine, bracing air of Chicago once more.—Chicago Daily News, next morning after Burke’s arrival from Winnepeg. Yes, and especially that lie can now and then get a sniff or two from the Chicago river. The little weekly published in the village, mav have more influence with congress than the great metropolitan daily, for it voices the sentiments of the constituents of its home members more trulv, perhaps, than does its great neighbor of the metropolis.—Quincy fill.) Herald. Let the pompous metropolitan daily put that in its pipe and smoke it a while. _______ A level-headed writer has just given publicity to the following; ‘ ‘One-third of the fools in the country think they can beat the lawyers in expounding the law. One-half think they can beat the doctors healing the sick. Two-thirds of them think they can beat the minister in preaching the- gospel, and all of them think they can beat the editor in running the paper.-^-Exchange, A correspondent in the Peru Republican tells about the mosquitoes at Akron eating up a railroad locomotive. Some big things happen at Akron but we will never believe that story until we see the. bones of the defunct engine. —Men tone Gazette. Then you'll always remain in doubt. Mosquitoes down that way don t do a half-way business. They ate that locomotive bones and all,

Endly sells the best drugs for the least money-

The gentleman in this State, aged 80 ! years who offers $50,00 for a wife, must find it difficult to restrain his coltish tendencies. There are about 170.000 Mormons in Utah, and about 40,000 non-Mormons, thus making a bona fide population of 1 210,000 in that territory. 1 Josh Billings allowed that “the fun of scratching almost paid for having the itch.” A great many through this section have had lots of fun, then. Frequently a lino or two will bo all ; that is necessary in reading a local item to enable the reader to see the point. —Plymouth Democrat. Frequently reading the whole item over and over again is not sufficient to enable the reader to see the point.

. An enraged doctor called upon an editor in a Michigan town for a retraction. He emphasized his demand with a cane. Ahis, a few moments later the doctor’s remains were swept up in a little pile and toted away to the hospitt al, while the editor was sitting quietly at his desk and writing an editorial on “The brotherhood of man.” ’ Hardly a week passes but that we are confronted with the chronic economist who has just discovered that he yan get a great city paper for SI.OO per year whilst his local paper which contains less matter costs $1.50. The most remarkable thing about it is that ho is so ready to confess his ignorance and frankly acknowledge that he cannot see any reason why it should be so. Now it seems to us that any man of fair intelligence who gives the matter a moment’s thought will have little difficulty in solving this problem. The city paper that comes to him sv cheap is printed from plates of stereotyped matter printed in the dailies. The local papers could procure these plates for a song and till their columns with it and give their subscribers more reading for much loss money; but they would not find a personal column tolling them of the movements of their acquaintances; they would not see a record of the deaths and marriages occurring in their own community; they would learn nothing of the events social, educational. religious, business or political that immediately concerns them and which are the first items they look for and read in their home paper; their largest clover root, their biggest turnip, their mammoth egg, ear of corn, strawberry or short horn steer, or best Jersey cow, would receive no notice. Their own anniversary, picnics, or Forth of July celebration, would like “the flower born to blush unseen, waste their sweetness on the desert air.” —Middlebury Independent. The Nature of Man. Let It be distinctly understood that our arguments will bo wholly based on tho Holy Scriptures, not intending, * however, in tho least, undue disrespect to the Pope or any one else who holds that man is immortal. 1 Onr present inquiry is : - IS MAN, OR HAS MAN, AN IMMORTAL ’ SOUL? 1 In order to answer this question cor--1 rectly we turn to the record of man’s ' creation. It is given in Gen. ii., 7: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into ’ his nostrils the breath of life and man * became a living soul.” Does this • record show man’s immortality ? It certainly does not. But my assertion is not argument. We will examine the record —dissect it, as it were, and see what it contains. 1. “Tho Lord God” is the creator of man. He does not claim, here or else- , where, that Heinade him immortal. 2. The material of which man -was formed is recorded: “dust of the 1 ground.” This shows that man is a material being, but who will assert that man is immortal (deathless) because of this ? 3. After man was formed—a perfect : organism—the cause of his living is stated—tho Lord God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” Do we discover immortality for man in this breath of life? I do not; do you? Now, it is a fact that all animals live by breathing the breath of life. Are the animals deathless ? 4. “And man became a living soul.” What became a living soul?—man that had been made of tho dust of the ground. Do you say this living organism man which is declared to boa living soul is an immortal, soul? No, you dare not do that—but you cannot logically deny the fact that “living soul” is predicated of the material organism, man. I have only space to add that the phrase living .soul in the Bible is repeatedly applied to animals, even before being applied to man. See Gen. i., 30—notice the marginal reading. Will any person say because living soul is used to designate animals that they are immortal? Os course not. Neither does “living soul” prove man immortal. We have thus briefly noticed the record of man’s creation, and fail to find the least evidence that man is, ok has an immortal soul. The entire Bible we shall find, as we proceed, is in harmony with the declarations of Gen, ii. 7. We have thus far found the soul of man to boa material organism, formed of the dust of the ground and made to live by the breath in his nostrils. More about the soul in our next. C. M. Richmond,

' The Republican reports intelligence from Clipp, the missing man. This, like similar ones in regard to Tascott, is caleu-

lated to mislead mid d "i- an investigation of tho murder. There ran be no qur-tion but that Clipp is murdered ami the authorities are culpable for not having investigated the crime. Rev. Trevor, of N. Y., preached for the Christian church on Saturday and Sunday last. Uis discourses were able, and well received. The town of Knox has built a calaboose.
