The Misses Millard were in Fort Wayne several days attending an opening of spring millinery, and purchasing new goods. They are enabled to show the latest styles in millinery. Ladies are respectfully invited to call and see goods. Farmers, living quite remote from this place, who were scarcely to be seen here, are now coming to town and inquiring for the new grist-mill. That’s what a new grist mill will do. Now let Us entice more of them to come by having a planing mill. Agent Foster informs us that Mr. Snjith, of Milford Junction, who has the contract for furnishing the brick and erecting the Fulmer store building, will start a brick yard here provided suitable clay can be found. Ho has been examining some samples of the article near town. Rev. Lewis, who is conducting a revival meeting at the Advent church, informs the Independent that the series will continue until after Sunday, if no longer. He appears to be in dead earnest in his anxiety to change men and women from their worldly and wicked practices to that of a better and Christian life. Seven have professed sanctification during the meeting thus far—Thursday. Rev. Lewis tells us that be is confident that the interest in these meetings is increasing from day to day. The reverend gentleman visited us at our sanctum and we confess that we enjoyed the visit very much. Weihereby invite him to call again.

Ike Masterman says that over in Polk township, Marshall county, they elected one Republican, but that the balance of the ticket elected was composed of good fellows. Ike’s odd.

Tom Dougherty moved a dwelling to town the other day. It has come to that pitch that they can’t build them fast enough and have to move them in from the country. There is now and then a supposed severe attack of religion that judging from the distorted countenance worn by the sufferer would be taken for a bad case of dyspepsia. Me are very sorry that we were unable this week owing to the crowded condition of our columns to publish several interesting communications from our correspondents, among them being the Island, Tyner City, etc. Dr. G. W. 'Werner, of Kansas City, Mo., and Miss Anna Sheatsley, daughter of Landlady Sheatsley, of the Florence Hotel, were married in Kansas City March 12. They have been visiting here for several days at the bride’s home, aud left hero Friday morning lor Kansas City. Bill Gould came to town and voted the Democratic ticket and was taken quite ill. It was suggested to him that voting that ticket was probably the cause of his severe attack. His response was that he candidly believed that if he had not voted tha* ticket he would have died outiight. Monday evening about three miles from Wakarusa, a little towu not far from Nappanee, Simon Field stabbed to death Cyrus Bell, his brother-in-law. Both men, farmers. The trouble grew out of a property wrangle. Field was arrested and bound over without bail. Lynching threats were in the air. “Don’t buy a pig in a bag.” Investigate carefully before purchasing. Harvesting machinery should be durable and light draft, and therefore it must be durable and light draft, and therefore it must be properly designed and constructed of first-class material. Steel and malleable iron produce the best results in this direction. The superiority of Champion Binders and Mowers result from the fact that more malleable iron and steel is used in their construction than in others. On another page of this paper is a brief article urging better fire protection. Before going to press, however, we learn that steps have already been taken in that direction. A meeting of the citizens was held in the town house Tuesday evening with the result of organizing a fire company. S. 8. Cowan was made chief; first lieutenant, Geo. Dougherty; second lieutenant, Grant Tank; treasurer, Daniel Brubaker; secretary, B. E. Williams, after which they adjourned until Friday evening of this week to perfect the organization. The Rochester Sentinel is full and overflowing with joy. It came out this week with two large roosters, calls them “fat rascals” aud bids them crow. Every township in its county—Fulton— went Democratic. It claims that if the Republican paper of that town had worried off another issue before the election that every township in the county would have elected two Democratic trustees. The Sentinel’s last issue is not only a heavy breeze but has very much the appearance of a cyclone. Joy unbounded, hilariousness without stint. No one realizes more fully and thoroughly than this paper does that many missiles aud hateful, firey darts have been and are being hurled at it day after day by those who dislike it for wrongs imaginary and reasons baseless. It has in a general way rebuked such persons, but has never yet been personal. Its pungent retorts, although indirect, have caused considerable fluttering by the birds hit, and of which fluttering we are usually promptly, either directly or indirectly, apprised. Come to us hereafter, with your sneers and jeers at this paper, or we shall be compelled to meet them by boldly mentioning names, as you do. We have the same privileges guaranteed us by law that you have and shall hereafter exercise them.

The Walkerton Independent is in a gloomy mood. It reports two orphan stores in her midst. That is exactly right. We always knew that the old town was without a father or mother, execept the “Huckleberry Queen,” who exercises a motherly care over the place at times.— Macy Monitor. Notwithstanding the fact that the “Huckleberry Queen” is an old rusty chestnut, Walkerton is not the child to go back on its progenitor so long as she gathers us together with a motherly tenderness. The New Laundry. Charley Granger kindly showed the industrious news gatherer for this paper through the Stevenson laundry, the other day, it being the first time the faithful reporter had ever been admitted to the mysteries and secrets of the washee house. The apparatus consists of a far greater collection of utensils, etc., than the writer had ever dreamed of. A large drum, called the wash drum, with its load of fabrics, rides upon journals, revolving through hot water and steam until the contents is made white as driven snow. No damage can possibly come to goods thus treated. The establishment has a large caldron heater for the purpose of heating water and furnishing the steam necessary to carry on the operations. The machine called the ironer, is a complicated affair, and cost one hundred dollars. It is said to boos improved pattern. The building is divided up into several operating rooms, besides one large room called the dry room. The mode of starching fabrics st this institution gets away with any woman’s plan that the scribe ever saw. We were shown work done at this establishment which certainly recommends it to be all o. k. Walkerton n Mammoth Flour Ing Mill. Two of the Independent’s representatives visited the Asa Knott mill, now in full and complete operation, for the purpose of investigating its merits. Os course, newspaper men are competent judges. We found four floors filled with machinery of the latest improved variety, all in motion from top to bottom and working like clock work. There is one mile of spouting and over a half mile of belting, which will give the reader something of an idea of its . magnitude. The engine is an excellent one, and, under the supervision of Engineer Dougherty, doos noble service. They burn crude coal oil, and it is but little trouble to manufacture a first class quality and plenty of steam. It was intended for what is called a 75 barrel mill, but it# capacity is said to bo that of 100 barrels per day. The elevator connected with the mill has a capacity of six thousand bushels. Besides the four stories above mentioned, there is what they call the loft, which is stuffed with machinery. It is believed by competent judges that the Asa Knott mill of Walkerton, is one of the very best in this section of the country. Every merchant in town should keep their flour on tap; and, if good, every citizen in town and vicinity should eat freely of it, DR. JAQUES’ German worm cakes destroy worms and remove them from the system. Safe, pleasant and effective. LOOK HERE! All persons owing me are hereby requested to call and settle. I need money. J. N.

Personal Points. Dr. Campbell, of North Liberty, spent the week in Eureka, 111. Ed. Snodgrass of Mishawaka, was in town the fore part of this week. Miss Callie Blain was at homo Saturday from her school in LaPorte county. D. W. Place attended the funeral of his cousin, Edward Place, last Wednesday. Milt Barnhart has returned home from a trip through Kentucky, where he was selling sheet music for Prof. Becker. Mrs. Laphan and daughter, Miss Edith, visited here Monday and Tuesday. They have taken a house in South Chicago where they will live during the coming summer. John lachholtz, who recently purchased the Jack Wolfenbarger residence, moved his family to town last Tuesday. Mr. lachholtz is well and favorably known here, and the Independent hereby congratulates him for having selected the live and busy town of Walkerton as his future home Mr. J. M. Eberleiu, the boot and shoe man, has sold his stock of boots and shoes to Mr. C. Wambach, his father-in-law, of Mishawaka. Mr. Eberlcin tells the Independent that ho very much regrets leaving Walkerton, but having an offer from a Buffalo boot and shoe firm that will pay him far better than his business did while here, felt constrained to accept. He will move his family to South Bend. The Independent, together with many of our citizens, regret to see Mr. Eberkun leave town. We sincerely hope that he may fully realize, in his new undertaking, the full measure of his expectations. Owing to our crowded space wo were compelled to mutilate some of the correspondence this week. C. W. N. Stephens is shipping out a car-load of potatoes, for which he is paying 25 cents per bushel. The Sons of Veterans organized and elected officers, last Tuesday evening. Particulars next week. Mothers will find Dr. Winchell’s Teething Syrup just the medicine to have in the house for children; it will cure Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, and regulate the Bowels. Try it.

Normal M I The Walkerton Normal School will open Monday, April 28, and continue in session six weeks. The purpose of this school is to give amploopportunity for reviewing the common branches, and, as far as possible to consider the more practical plans of presenting the various subjects in the routine of school work, to the minds of the pupils. STATE QUESTIONS.—The subject of State Board Questions will be carefully investigated and plans for securing probable success iu County Examinations will receive due attention. Some fail for want of sufficient kowledge and some not for want of knowledge but for the want of ability to express that knowledge in an intelligible manner. Proper means will be used to overcome both of these difficulties. PEDAGOGY.—There will be a class formed iu Compayre’s Lectures on teaching. County Supt. Moon will hold an examination at close of Normal June 14, 1890. Tuition for term $3.50 payable in advance. For further information, address, A. H. BARBER, Walkerton, Ind. Killed! —AT— A. D.
