The Wolfeubarger boys dragged in a row of new sleighs this week, purchased at LaPorte for their livery stable. Bose Brothers have corned beef on hand. The Independent pounded away at them until they put it in stock. The Mentone Gazette had a whole column of “Words of commendation from competent judges” in its last issue. It is reported that the snow near here in the woods where there was no chance for drifting measured 33 inches iu depth. The place where Vern Hardenbrook’s toe was is doing well. Vern thinks ho can fill the vacancy in his boot with rags and things. E. L. Sanders is night operator at the B. & O. office. Dan Fitzgerald has had his old position restored, that of day operator. Lawyer Ingham roasted the Cronin suspects until the grease oozed out of them, in his speech on behalf of the state last Tuesday. The deep, deep snow and still snowing was what caused the Catholic friends to postpone their dancing party last Thursday night. Our citizens sorely deplore the loss of the J. Willis Cotton woodyard, so handy heretofore in the bleak days of winter, and, we might add, nights. A Fort Wayne girl went crazy because her affianced ran away. Any girl that will go crazy about a thing of that kind must be insane. We seldom see the name of Walkerton mentioned, in a certain county seat paper. Why should any county seat paper ignore its county towns? When the rooms are all filled there will be a dry goods store, a boot and shoe store, a hardware store, and a soft-hardware store in th* Fps-Dough-erty building. Charley Robbins knows how it is himself now, for he had an attack of neuralgia of the stomach which continued on down through all the little long stomachs. On last Friday evening a party was held at the home of Miss Carrie Robbins. It was a, surprise, planned by her young associates and all enjoyed a very pleasant time.

It is seldom, if ever, you see a stronger array of legal talent engaged in a case than the force engaged in the great Cronin murder trial now iu progress in Chicago. Our farmer friends better take warning and not tie the legs of turkeys, chickens, ducks, etc., when bringing them to market, for a heavy fine and even imprisonment may now bo imposed.

They are putting iu an extra boiler and making various other improvements which are calculated to make it a firstclass roller mill in every respect.

Shoemaker, of this place, and Miss Auuie Adams, of Sumption Prairie, were married at the home of Mrs. James Palmer, of Sumption Prairie, Rev. Mr. Warren, of North Liberty, performing the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker have the best wishes of many friends. The Independent was made the recipient of a box of wedding cake. It is rumored that Walkerton is to have another railroad. The name of the proposed road we have not learned at this date —Monday. It is to be built from Grand Rapids to Chicago, the principal object being that of conveying bulk salt to the great packing houses of that city. It is thought that it will strike Niles, Mich., and from there make a straight dive for Walkerton. It is quite a salty yarn, but may possibly materialize. The Independent shall ever be on the alert for news favorable to the project and give the same to its readers fresh, juicy and encouraging as possible, miud you, without lying about it. Wo notice that some considerate individual left his big toe with the editor of the Walkerton Independent. This is not noted as being an occurrence seldom heard of, but more fully to illustrate that this particular member of man’s anatomy and the editorial fraternity are not so far removed from one another but that they are liable to meet—-sometimes under more agreeable circumstonces than others. And again, the member herein mentioned, under certain circumstances, has been known to improve an editor's “leaders" in the editorial column. The latter has no reference to the editor of tlie Independent for the reason that he made th© toe’s acquaintance under different circumstances, that is, it was presented him as one having been amputated and preserved in alcohol, so he states. However, we will not venture to say what effect this gift would have had, had the mixture been reversed and the alcohol been in the toe, instead of the toe in the alcohol. —Nappanee News. Guess maybe we have a dim or vague idea of what you’re getting at. Yes, we’ve bad whole bunches of toes after us under very disagreeable circumstances.

The town council met in legular session Wednesday evening, Dee. 1. The meeting was called to order by Pres. A. 11. Stevenson. The members were all present. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Claims to the amount of $22.22 were allowed. Treasurer’s report showed a balance on hand of SIBI.OB. Mr. Howe, representing the Howe chem ical fire engine, was presented to the Board. After explaining the qualities of his engine, and a lengthy discussion, it was decided that Mr. Howe bring bis en gine to this place and give a test, and up on motion of W. A. Tank, seconded by S. S. Cowan, it was so ordered: No other business before the Board the meeting adjourned. ""croup" Some reading that will prove interesting to mothers. How to Guard Against the Disease. Croup is the terror of young mothers especially during the early winter months, as it is then most prevalent. To post them concerning the cause, first symptoms, treatment and how to prevent it, is the object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold, children that are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom of croup is hoarseness, it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized and once heard always remembered. Usually a day or two before the attack, the child becomes hoarse and gradii ally shows symptoms of having taken cold, and this is where the mistake is usually made, the mother thinking her child has just taken cold gives itmo especial attention until awakened in the night by the violent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup and remembers it has had u cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many cases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physician or drug store. You can well imagine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse or shows . symptoms of having taken cold; if i Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is freely i given from that time on, all tendency 1 to croup will disappear and all danger be avoided.

Walkei'ton's Opportunity, > Below is a statement of tho merits of the Howe Combined Chemical and Water Engine which wo clip from tho Virginia (Ill.; Gazette. Mr. B. J. C. 1 Howe, of the engine works at Indianapolis, will ba here in a few days to ex- ) hibit the engine: t “Virginia has at last bought a fire engine and we believe her authorities acted wisely in making the choice. There were two engines exhibited: the Howo Chemical and Water Engine, made at Indianapolis, and the Little ' Giant, made at St. Louis. The Little 1 Giant was on the ground Wednesday and the Howe engine came on Thursday, and in spite of the drizzling rain, Mr. Howe brought his machine out for exhibition. The first test that was made to soe how quickly four men could set the engine; lay a hundred foot of hose, and throw a stream to tho top of our court house, from the chemical tank. Thia was done in forty-five seconds. The second test was to seo how quickly the engine could be changed from a chemical to a water engine, the engine set at tho court bouse cistern and a stream of water thrown from the cistern to the top of the court house. This was done in one minute. At this point the Little Giant was brought out and to the surprise of all, when a stream was thrown from each of the engines, it was seen that the Howe engine, with six nien at the pumps, throw a stream almost if not quite as high as did the Little Giant, with sixteen men at tho pump. While tho Little Giant threw a somewhat larger stream, it was noticeable that it required a stronger force of men at tho pumps, and it was estimated by some of the bystanders that the sixteen men required to run the Little Giant for two minutes, would by relieving each other, man tho Howe engine for many hours without fatigue. A Siamese coupling was then put on the hose of tho Howe engine and two streams at the same time were thrown with force enough to reach the top of any business block in town. This engine also made a test run. Set at the Mann House corner, at tho word “go" a run was made half way around th > square and a stream of water thrown through a hundred feet of hose to the top of the old odd fellows' building in one minute and twenty seconds. With practice this time could bo considerably shortened. The next day the city council met at Savage's warehouse for tho purpose of examining th© working parts of the two engines. Mr. Howe literally took his machine to pieces, while some part’s of the Little Giant were not aecesnible. If anything was needed to settle the question: 'which is the best machine for us?" this test did it. Tho superficial parts of the two engines are easily seen and are strong and good. The hidden parts and especially the pump was what the council wanted to see. An examination of the Howo pump showed it to be simple in construction, and made of the best brass and leather, while that of the Little Giant was more complex and said to ba constructed of iron. All those things were considered by tho city council, and they found that tho Howe engine possessed all the qualifications of the Little Giant and many that the St. Louis engine did not. It is easier worked, the pump better constructed, and its chemical feature a good one, it being ready for use the moment the engine reaches a fire and can be used while the well or cistern is being made ready for the suction hose. The whole equipment of the Howe engne is carried all together. We were sHisfied that the city did wisely in purchasing tho Howo engine. There are many things about tho Howe engine which commends it to towns situated as ours.” Young man wants position as bartender in a saloon.
