L. Belmont, a Chicago sharp, passing a forged check for S6O on a Bremen bank. The rascal tried the same dodge on I. W. McConnell, of the Walkerton bank; but I. W. saw skulduggery sticking out of the fellow’s eyes and refused to cash his check for S6O. It will be a colder day than we have had this winter when they catch I. W. with forged checks. It begins to look as though the devout divine, Rev. Pettit, a former North Liberty dispenser of the gospel, had actually poisoned his wife to death. The grand jury has found such an indictment, based upon pretty positive and damaging evidence. It also comes to light that the devout gentleman served a term in jail, somewhere in the East for theft. You can’t tell much about a toad in the weeds. Frank Paul spent last week in Auburn, this state, in attending to his suit wi)h the B. & O. R. R, Company, having sued the company for twenty thousand dollars for the loss of a foot while in its service as brakeman on a freight train, some time ago. The company offered him about eight hundred and fifty dollars and to pay all costs of the suit, but Frank thinks that L the loss of a foot the size of the ono he lost, and part of a leg, is worth more money, and therefore, refused to settle for such an amount. The company appealed to the United States Court.

ARE YOU INTERESTED? Perhaps the readers of the Independent would like to know in what respect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you. When this remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteract the effect of the cold and greatly lessen its severity, if not effectually cure the cold in two days time and it is the only remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect harmony with nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, liquefying the mucous and causing its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring 4 the system^ to a strong and healthy condition. No other remedy in the market possesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure a cold as quickly or leave the system in as sound a condition. 50 cent and one dollar bottles for sale by J. F. Reid.

There has been more sickness in town in the last four weeks than there bad been during the preceding six months. There .vill be some business buildings go up, sure, during the] coming summer. The town needs more dwellings very badly. Our merchants are complaining that trade is a little dull at present. What should they expect when the wheels of progress are blocked hub deep with mud ? In another paragraph we have said that there are five families living in the Fry-Dougherty building. It’s a big He. One family moved out the other day. T. J.

A disastrous fire occurred at Bunker Hill, a smart little place of about 800 population, eight miles south of Pern, Ind., last Sunday morning, iu which Geo. J. Nicoles, a brother of Attorney Nicoles, of this place, was one of the unfortunates. He was engaged in blacksmithing and the manufacture of wagons, and his losses were upwards of fifteen hundred dollars. A row of eleven business buildings were destroyed. The progress of the conflagration ended at the large brick store building of Joseph Nichols, also a brother of Attorney Nichols, and who is engaged in । the dry goods and grocery business. This is a severe blow on the enterpris- > ing little town of Bunker Hill. AVo ; got no particulars in reference to the i insurance. The thought of such fires

brings vividly to the minds of the Walker tonites the sad and terrible scenes of comparatively not long ago in this place. The old settlers of this place met at the M. E. parsonage Thursday evening of this week and there indulged in hilarity, till Uncle Charley Bose was unanimously elected as director. On being set in motion he immediately announced music. Miss Addie Wolfe creditably obliged. Miss Martin’s singing was listened to attentively, and then began charades. This pastime was indulged in by all till the parson was caught napping, then it being a late hour, hymn 26 was sung by the entire company, after which it was resolved to meet again in two weeks at the residence of Jacob Platts. This antique assembly propose to call together every two weeks all the old unmarried people and demonstrate that we are just as young as we used to be. Many thanks to Parson 1 I Mathews and family for their hospitali- ' V' An Old Timer.

MERIT WINS. ] We desire to say to our citizens, that ' for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them everytime, and we stand ready to refund the purchase priee, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These great remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. HIBBARD’S RHEUMATIC SYRUP. There is certainly something remarkable in this preparation as it is meeting with a success never attained by any other medicine. It never fails if used as directed. For over twenty years I have been a great sufferer from the effects of a diseased stomach, and for three years past have been unable to do business. Two years ago my case was pronounced incurable. I visited different water cures and climates, all to no purpose. Last June I began using Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup (prepared by Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Midi, i and at once began to feel better. I have used thirteen pottles and am a well man.

HIBB ARD’S ST REN GT HEN IN G AND RHEUMATIC PLASTERS. Are a Revelation To The World and are the only Genuine Rheumatic Plasters. Nine-tenths of all troubles which require the aid of Plasters are rheumatic in their nature. A change of weather, or sudden draft causes a cold, which developes into muscular and that iuto inflammatory rheumatism. And yet, there has never been such a thing as a distinctly rheumatic and strengthening plaster, and hundreds have died suddenly where rheumatism has attacked the heart, whose lives might have been saved had this plaster been applied iu season. They are constructed on purely scientific principals aud are purely vegetable. Prepared by Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich.
