The Walkerton public schools will open next Monday. Notice change in the Philadelphia Store advertisement. There will be regular services at the Presbyterian church Sunday. The careful feeding of infants should be well looked after by mothers at this time of year. It might be well enough to *dd that the temperature has been a little high, during the past few days. Mrs. Dr. Smith has received a nice line of fall and winter millinery goods. A fine line of baby hoods and ladies’ ties in stock. The fifth annual fair of the New Carlise and Farmers’ Union Fair Association will be held at New Carlisle, September 4, 5 and 6. Mrs. H. A.

Williams hereby notifies the public that he will manufacture cider on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week; also cider jelly and sorghum molasses. Mrs. Geo. Ross and boy, of LaGrange, Indiana, are here for a Gait with relatives and friends. She says that LaGrange, her new home, is a nice thrifty town, but, after all, there is no place like home, meaning Walkerton, of course. This paper is authorized to say that the mill is coming. The Independent is sorry for North Liberty, but the big fish have practiced eating up the little ones from time immemorial. North Liberty should, therefore, submit passively. Why not move over here, bodily?" _ The ice cream festivals held in Hudel myer’s hall last Friday and Saturday evenings, were well attended, and the receipts were copious, so to speak, amounting to something like thirtyeight dollars. The festivals were gotten up for the benefit of the M. E. church.

Commissioner D. W. Place received , a sever injury by-stepping on a nail sev- ' ei'al days ago, running it almost through the foot near the toes causing a wound from which he has been -confined to the house almost constantly since its occurrence. Lockjaw was feared. A. Allison, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was here Thursday negotiating for teams to work on the esrtenslon of the •Chicago & West Michigan E. R. The wages paid are $3.50 per day, and free transportation both ways. Tor further particulars see Ed Henderso®. Cowan and Pool have -painted the Stephens Store Companys’ etore building uj) in first-class order. The building looks a hundred, per cent, better. But why need we mention that, after saying that Cowan and Pool did it, which always means first-class work? Elwood McDaniel ihas opened up business in his new brick building, and invites his old patrons and the public iu general to call and see him. He keeps a full line of family groceries, bananas and fruits of all kinds in sea'Hon, cigars and tobaccos, etc. Fresh 'bread every day. Best of aceommodations for boarders and lodgers. Good meals and nice, light, airy rooms. Joe Endley, Harry Richmond, Ot Townsend and Doe Dowell went fishing in »the Kankakee river last Tuesday. None fell in but Endley and Dowell. They claim that they went to the bottom of the river, it being fully ten feet deep. Endley said he wouldn’t have cared any thing about it but he got his socks wet and-they were the only pair the had. Townsend hasn’t quit laughing yet. Richmond and Townsend fished the boys out and claim they were tthe luigest bullheads they caught.

Bose Bros, got a little frisky this week and are having Cowan and Pool paint up the front of their meat market in modern tints, and in artistic style. Cowan and Pool have a taste for the blending of colors highly pleasing to the eye. The boys also have a faculty of selecting appropriate colors for all places. This is not a paid advertisement. We have the dogondest time with our foreman, “Lightning” Jerry, about the little matter of capital punishment, imaginable. He thinks that nock for neck is the'‘staff,” and that the old Bible teaching, eye for eye and tooth for tooth, is the most beautiful thought. He even goes so far as to express himself to that effect in five oi six different languages. He gives a characteristic war-whoop and declares that war to the hilt h business. i A subscription paper is being circulated asking for donations to the Walkerton Cornet Band for the purpose of buying a new tuba, the same to cost $65. Their old one is worn out. The boys agree to play for all church festivals and picnics free; also to play free of charge on Decoration Day. This is a matter in which our citizens, one and all, should take an interest, and each donate something. What is home without a band? Subscriptions as low as twenty-five cents will be thankfully received. List at Tom Wolfe's clothing store. Saturday’s South Bend Tribune: The St. Joseph county teachers’ institute which closed its five days’ meetings at the High school in this city yesterday was one of the largest attended and most interesting of the twenty-five annual sessions of the institute. The instructors were Prof. W. J. Bryan, of State university at Bloomington, Prof. Howard Sandison, of the State normal, Terre Haute, and Prof. Joseph Carhart, of De Pauw university. Much of the success of the institute was due to the excellent management of Supt. Moon, whose superior ability in this line of work is recognized throughout the State. The admirable reports that

have appeared in the Tribune from day to day were prepared by the secretary. Miss Emma Crawford, of this city, who performed her task in the most satisfactory manner, altoughit was her first experience in this line. The teachers are to be congratulated upon the success of their annual institute. The following from the LaPorte Herald is true as the book of Ruth, and we give space to the paragraph hoping that it may induce the owners of the hundreds of horses that we see hitched in our streets almost daily wholly unprotected against the pestiferous fly, to be more humane and protect their I faithful horses: “If people would change their views a little on economic questions they would be a great deal better off financially. For instance a man who thinks he is saving money by not spendmgsanything for a fly net, misses it. It i« nothing uncommon to see a horse unprovided for in this particular, tied to a hitching post, vainly trying to rid itself of those pests, the flies. In doing so the animal frequently throws itself and breaks the harness or buggy, the oost of rcpaimng the same being more than the price of a dozen nets. Why, a horse wiF pound off more flesh in fighting flies an one summer than a net will come to. A woman can make a net very cheap, if she has a mind to. Buy >hor a few yards of unbleached muslin and instruct her to cut it. in two strips, about three by five het. Arrange strings on them for fnstnnixg it to the harness, and there will be no flies on -horses.” MILES’ NERVE & LIVER BILLS. An important discovery.

Hen 1 derson. I — । The Chicago Hornld to-day contains , a column ami a half illustrated write- ' np of the LaPorte lake resorts. The write-up is a good one, but a person ’ familiar with the places mn*d have a I stretch of imagination to recognize them in the illustrations especially the illustrations entitled “one hour a eatch," where the catch is shown to he a string of fish about four feet long.—Michigan ' City News. A photograph of the fish can be seen at any time, and the names of the poisons who caught the fish can be given if necessary.—LaPorte Herald. Why not convince the News to a dead certainty by showing the hole the fish were caught in? A very destructive fire occurred at Middlebury, Indiana, last Thursday morning a week. The loss is estimated at all the way from twenty thousand to eighty thousand dollars. A Masonic block ana other large and substantial buildings were destroyed. Fresh, indeed, in our mind is the calamity of about the same magnitude that visited this place last winter, and no community in this section of country is better prepared to deeply sympathize with the Middlebury sufferers than the Walkertonites. We do not know, but strongly suspect that our valued exchange, the Independent, was located in the burnt district. If so, Jim, don't despond, but retrench and work the harder. The Independent was an excellent paper, and you can make another just as good, and such a paper must flourish. Our Chicago Dailies Cost us spot cash; we hire a boy to deliver them to you promptly every day for which you are charged nothing. Wo deliver Chicago papers to you for less than they are sold and delivered in Chicago, with the understanding that yon pay for them each week. You are not requested to even call at tho office to pay for them, but we hire a boy to call upon you each week for tho pay. Now, this and that excuse is made by some, such as, “Haven’t tho change today, will pay you next week,” and so the matter in a good many instances runs along until the account amounts up to 50 or more cents and then a part of the account is denied, or tho boy insulted by all sorts of gruff statements. Gentlemen, you who pay up every week can get tho Chicago Dailies through this office as heretofore, but none others. We can't afford to buy papers, ' pay cash for them, hire and pay a boy i cash to kindly deliver them to you and present you with the papers also.

PERSONAL ITEMS. Miss Forest McConnell visited relatives in Michigan City a few days this • week. Mrs. Caswell and Mrs. O'Brien are i attending the encampment at Milwaukee this week. । Mrs. Mary McKesson returned home Monday evening from a short visit and business trip to Plymouth. Miss Johnson, of Mill Creek, camo to Walkerton last Tuesday to engage in the employ of C. W. Nichols. Milt Barnhart has returned from a trip of several weeks in the southern part of the state. He is selling sheet music for Prof. M. W. Becker. Mrs. Geo. Curtis and Miss Nora and Master Guy, formerly of this place but now of South Chicago, have been visiting among their many friends here during tho past week. Charles McCarty, tho Kentucky conductor, spent last week here looking after matters on his farm north of town. He then started for a point in Missouri where his wife has been visiting for some time. He will return to his conductorship in Kentucky soon. Jake Bender and family are visiting in town. Mr. Bender, who is traveling for a wholesale house, was unable to reach this place in time to attend his father’s funoral, as the telegram announcing his father’s sudden illness and death was received too late. Tlie World's Exposition of'92. It is argued that Chicago .should have the World’s Exposition for the following reasons: Chicago has nil the essentials of an eligible location —an abundance of fresh air and pure water—space for all exhibits—and unsurpassed facilities for transportation. Lake Michigan renders the climate, in the summer season, more comfortable than that of any other available city, as can be proven by the reports of the weather bureau. This immense lake also furnishes it with an inexhaustible supply of water far superior in quality to that of any city in the world. Combined with these are its exceptional railroad facilities, which would make the exposition accessible alike to exhibitors and visitors from every quarter of the globe. In this connection, the recent report of the Inter-State Commerce Commission shows that 30 per cert, of the railway mileage of the United States—exclusive of the eastern trunk lines beyond Pittsburg and Buffalo- directly enter Chicago. The hotel accommodations, which are being rapidly enlarged, aro amply sufficient to insure the comfort and convenience of visitors- having now the capacity to entertaiu 150.000 guests, to say nothing of tho 5,000 boarding houses. The leading officials of the several telegraph companies acknowledge that its telegraphic facilities; are uneqnaled —as has been evinced by the numerous tests which have resulted in its being proudly designated “the Convention City.” There can be an agricultural and live stock exhibit there, such as the world has never seen. Secretary of Agriculture Rusk says: “Chicago is the center of tho greatest agricultural and stock raising regions in tho world.” The people of all nations can rendezvous there more cheaply and from that point tho United States can make a deeper and more lasting impression upon the world of its achievements and capabilities. Chicago wants the Exposition, because her citizens will see to it that the thousands of foreigners coming are impressed with the beauties, realize the wonderful resources and comprehend the amazing growth of the west, the northwest, the south and tho Pacific Coast States. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Salt, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “lean recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured ot rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare druggist. Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is Electric Bitters.” Thousands have added their others have testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all disease of the liver, kidneys or blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at J. Endley’s drugstore. A STRANGE CASE. Had Mrs. H. A. Gardner, of Vistula, Indiana, lived two thousand years ago she would have been thought to be possessed by evil spirits. She was subject to nervous prostration, headaches, dizziness, backache, palpitation and forty to fifty spasm a day. Though having been treated by eight physicians for years without success, sho was permanently cured by one bottle of Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. A trial bottle of this new and wonderful medicine, and a finely illustrated treaties free at J. Endley s drug store, who recommends and guarantees it. MARVELOUSENDURANCE. The vast amount of labor performed by the heart in keeping all portions of the body supplied with blood is not generally known. It beats 1(10,01'0 times, and forces the blood at the rate <»f 168 miles a day, which is 3,000,000,000 times and 5,150,880 miles in a life time. No wonder there are so many Heart Failures. Tho first symptoms are shortness of breath when exercising, pain in the side or stomach, fluttering, choking in throat, oppression, then follow week, hungry or smothering spells, swollen ankles, etc. Dr. Franklin Miles’ New Heart (hire Nyhe only reliable remedy.

♦ The Iron Duke to lais Soldiers. “Do your duty,” were the words of _ Lord Wellington to his soldiers just before the battle of Wat rloo and history 8 tells us how well they obeyed. The same advice might properly be given 0 to every living man at this time. There are many men who would do their whole duty in time of war or great need, but when there is no such great 3 occasion, neglect their plain simple dnl ties to their God, their families and themselves. It is not for want of honor nor because they do not love their , families, but from pure neglect; as an 1 instance, statistics compiled by the national authorities show that more deaths result from bowel complaints i than any other one cause, except con(J sumption, yet not more than one family in six are provided with medicines ’ that will relieve or cure the diseases. It is the duty of every man to look af- । ter these small matters'? and protect their families, and they are certainly ! at least, guilty of criminal carelessness if they neglect to do so. Noone can ■ plead poverty in this instance, as the best remedy there is for the purpose only costs but 25 cents. The article wo refer to is Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is certain cure for cramps, colic, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea, bloody flux, cholera infantum, and bowel complaint in all its forms. No family can afford to be without it during the summer months as great suffering and even life may be saved by it before a physician could be summoned or medicine procured. Do not delay, but procure it at once, before it is forgotten. For sale by J. F. Reid. Bucklen’s Arnica Salie.
