Judge Baldwin won’t do to represent the Democrats in Congress. Too much Republican. A prize fighter, Brennan, was killed in a slugging match at Chicago last week. About a thousand spectators witnessed the brutal affair. A great many people would like very much to dictate how a newspaper should be run. when the fact of the matter is they have not sufficient know-' ledge to formulate a readable death notice. —Milford Mail. Squnk. Will some of our exchanges with more experience than we have had tell us what to do with a subscriber that has run along for years without paying up and when you send him a polite statement gets mad? Do you usually kill such a man? If not strictly in accordance with the code of ethics we do not want to do it.—St. Joseph County Independent. Call them mock honest and let them go. Remembering that the has made them so. P. B.—Our “booktionary” says the mock honest are those who are too proud to beg too honest to steal, yet will get trusted without the least intentions of ever paying. Isn’t this squnk? —Bremen Banner. Oh, yes. Yes, it will probably be all right to let them down easy here, in view of the terrible punishment they are doomed to suffer over there. W. E. Groves, editor of the Milford Mail, must be a busy editor. He gets up more original matter for his paper than we find in any exchange that comes to this office. How do yon conjure up so many texts?—Walkerton Independent. We studied for the ministry, but after we engaged in the newspaper business and began to associate with the editors of the country, we lost all the esnentials that are necessary in a firstclass theologian, and in tliis way was left with a surplus of unused texts.— Milford Midi. The Mail is an excellent paper, well edited, and therefore must have a good editor, ami it is positively the first good article of anything we ever heard tell of being manufactured out of a man after he once imagines himself a preacher. We are glad to inform Brother Endly, editor of the Walkerton Independent, that the Universalist minister in his sermon at Shoemaker’s “Flowing 1 Well” hist Sunday, fully diagnosed his case, and fixed him up in better shape than we expected he could under the circumstances. He stated in substance that there was no question but that the Independent’s editor would eventually be saved. But owing to his manifold sins in saying so many naughty, mean things about Macy, that after his death it would become necessary that he be '‘chucked” into Hades and there left to roam around with delinquent subscribers about teh years, when he would be brought forth and “robed" the same as the balance of ns. The Monitor extends congratulations to Mr. Endley in being let off so easy; that the punishment which he is doomed to suffer is not commensurate with the crimes he has committed. How glad we are that we have ministers who have a plan of saving the worst of hard “bats” or make their punishment, to say the least, very light.—Macy Monitor. No doubt you are glad now that you have discovered the means by which hard bats are saved, and gradually you may be elevated to a plane equal with us fellows who do the fair thing. g|g^^ ”” MOUNT VERNON. Mrs. James Martin is on the sick list at the present writing. Wheat is about harvested in this vicinity. Everybody, rich and poor, good and bad, handsome and homely, all are engaged in the same occupation—picking huckleberries, Louie Hargrave, who has been sojourning, in South Chicago, was in this part of the globe last week visiting with friends Bert Beall beats the record for going to Chicago and back on short noticeDoc Wenger was home last week visiting with relatives and looking about. Grandma '.Markwaulder is again here; we trust her inability to resist the loving care received at her home here, and the geniality and kindly consideration of the neighborhood was the cause of her returning.

The Mount Vernon Union Sunday school still exists, is doing good, and under the supervision of ' upt. Wenger is in a flourishing condition. Come every one. Ihe Misses Carrie Henry and Carrie Dooly of South Bend, visited with Allen Beall and wife last week. The Mount Vernon school house now shines under a new coat of paint- Jesse McDaniel did the work some time ago; wonder why they didn’t paint the handsome, safe and common sense fence which surrounds the school house? John Wenger and wife, visited with Mr. George Hoover's near Plymouth last week. Simon Runsberger is doing his own farming on his farm near here. One evening lust week while Mrs. Klingaman and Joe were going to town, the horse became frightened and ran away, throwing Mrs, Klingaman violently to the ground from which she received severe injuries. At present writing she has so fatrecovered as to be upSportsmen are hereby cautioned while indulging in their pleasurable meanderings to keep out of sight and hearing of all farmers in this vicinity, for it caught they will be prosecuted. Tbkbob. NORTH LIBERTY. The glorious fourth was celebrated in right royal style in this village. An immense throng assembled in the evening to witness the display of fire works which far exceeded anything of the kind ever seen in this place. Mr. William Carpenter is engaged in painting and otherwise improving his residence on South Main street. Wheat threshing has begun in this vicinity. The yield is said to be fully up to that of former years. Joseph Platz is compelled to walk with the aid of a crutch on account of injuries received while operating a hay fork the other day. Prof. C.

Campbell, of Winamac,; It was a grand production. The Walkerton Kids were handsomely beaten by the Knox club on tho 4 th. The game stood; Knox, 21; Walkerton, 0. By the way, the kids were the most genteel set of young men that ever visited our town. They were kind, sober, well behaved, and deported, having won the admiration of the entire people, for their gentility. Come again, boys, and stay longer. Spirit manifestations are lately alarming some of our more credulous peo le. Our marshal is busy of nights now in impounding cattle found at large after 8 o’clock p. in. Rev. Chas. Brown has resigned his po sition as preacher for the Christian church. Hillebold & Jackson have traded their stock of groceries for a farm, and moved to the country. The Salvation Army had a brand new baby, which claimed one of the men for pa and his estimable spouse for ma. It seems that babies come to them as well as others. H. R. Robbins has brought suit against the Nickle Plate R. R. for killing his cow, at the crossing of a public highway and railroad crossing. He proposes to test the company’ll liability in such cases. Times are very hard here. There would be plenty of work, but there is no money to do it with. Surely, “money makes the mare go.” We have a cheap john store in our town now. He sells some good goods at very low figures. MODERN DISCOVERERS. What Bell and Edison are to the teleiffione and electricity, says the Pittsburg News, Dr, Franklin Miles, the well-known specialist in nervous diseases, is to the nervous system and nerve fluid. Among his numerous discoveries his Restorative Nervine is undoubtedly one of the greatest. It is unsurpassed in nervousness, dyspepsia, headache, epilepsy, neuralgia, backache, melancholly, sleeplessness, change of life, etc. Free trial bottles of it may be had of J. Endly, druggist, and also Dr. Miles’ new book on “New and Startling Facts” for the afflicted. Every one should read this very interesting, instructive, and finely illustrated book.

UNFORTUNATE OPERA SINGERS. Had Fate of Brignoli, Susinl and Other Once J*upiih&r FavorlXert, “I think." says an old habitue of the theatre in New York, “that nine out of ten great musical artists come to some unhappy end. Take Brignoli, for instance. He simply rolled in money. For years there was a steady deluge ol gold on him. He practically had the earth. He might have been living now, a millionaire many times over. His success, unlike that of many other favorites, was not short-lived. He sang longer in the United States than any tenor who has been here before or since. But he was like all the rest. The money which fell into his coffers 1 fell into a sieve. He always lived at the Everett House when in New York. He had spent so much money there in his prosperous days that the proprietor, when he died, left a verbal direction that, Brignoli should always have a free home there as long as he lived. Ho died there absolutely penniless. He was buried by the contributions of his friends and admirers. “Then there was poor busini. What a sad fate he had! He came here twenty-five years ago, from South America,ami appeared at tho Academy. Tho public idolized him in torrents. He was a wonderfully companionable man, and was loved persouiply aa, well as admired artistically. In spitcof ail the wealth that camo to him he was always poor. His liberality knew no bounds. He was the prey of parasites and hangers on from the start. He married finally a Miss Hinckley, oi Albany, and out of that marriage grew a tragedy, lie loved his wife dearly, and when she died it broke him down. He entirely lost his voice. With his only child, a daughter, he went to live in London, but returned to New Yorki-^here his daughter, who had then grown up, married a well-known young dentist. She died, and it drove her husband crazy. He hunted ail over the city with a pistol for the doctor whA attended his wife, with the firm intention of killing him. Not finding him, he blew his own brains out. Soon after this Susini, a childless widower, without a penny in the world, went back toj.ondou and tried to make a living giving music lessons. His career there was short. Ho was getting out of an omnibus in the street one day, and was knocked down by a cab, and died a few days later in a hospital. He was buried in the potter’s tieiil. I think. “Great, fat, good-natured, sweetvoiced Amodio! In the dull season, when he had no engagement, he lived at Delmonieo’s on credit, paid his rent in promises and his tailor in the same

coin. "He had one tailor, however, who was not complacent. He dunned and dunned, and Amodio promised am! promised. At last the tailor had his revenge. He met Amodio in upper Broadway one afternoon when the street was crowded with people. " 'Now are you going to pay mo that bill or not?’ said he fiercely, grabbing Amodio by the sleeve. I want my money; I’ve got to have it.’ " ‘But how can I give you money when I haven't got itr Amodio said in his good-natured voice. 'Yotr (are an unreasonable tailor.’ " Then oil with that coat; that cokit's mine cried the tailor. "A crowd had gathered, of course, and shouted and roared at the fun, while Amodio pulled off t‘ o coat and handed it over with a flourish to the tailor. Then he wont on his walk in his shirt sleeves, shaking his fat sides at the joke and stopping to tell every acquaintance he met of his adventure. "Poor Amodio died of yellow fever on a voyage homeward from South America. A man who was on the vessel told me that after Ainodio's body was thrown into the sea the sharks fought for it like tigers.” Whitney *Was Spotted. 1 The anxiety of newly married couples to appear "like old mierted folks” is proverbial, says." the' Cleve laud Plain Dealer. When ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, then a promising young attorney, was united in marriage to Miss Flora Payne, they started from Cleveland on their wedding trip firmly resolved to appear as if they had been married for years, "Now if I appear a little cold,” said Mr. Whitney to his bride, "remember I am only acting my part.” When the train reached Ashtabula a verdant couple, showing beyond all doubt that they had just come from the altar, come into the car where Mr. and Mrs. Whitney were seated. "Why, anybody could tell that couple had just been married,” said Mr. Whitney. "Just look at the man’s bumps, the woman’s flowers and all that. Nobody would doubt thht they are bride and groom. Their dress shows that to anybody, but I don't believe we look quite so green.” After a few hours the train stopped at a small station and Mr. Wljjtney left the car for a few moments to Smoke a cigar. As he paced up and down the platform enjoying his Havana the Ashtabula groom stepped up and asked Mr. Whitney for a light. The Ashtabula stogie was hardly lighted when the man who was puffing it, showing a disposition to be frendly, remarked to Mr. Whittney: "Well, partner, I guess we are inthr same boat.” Mr. Whitney was disgusted. He re turned to the car and explained to Mrs. Whitney: "Flora, it no use. Even that green- . horn from Ashtabula has spotted us.” A Policeman and a Fool. A Provience policeman met a fool wandering aroung at night, and tc , have some fun with him he took out his handcuffs and threatened an arrest. The fool didn’t begin to cry and s beg, and neither did he run away, but he sailed in with a club and so nearly , killed the officer that he will be in bed for a month. Kitchen Cupboards from $6 to $11.50 at Vincent’s.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a , hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery ’ for Consumption; she bought a bottle and J to her delight found herself benefited from 1 first dose, She continued its use and al- ] ter taking ten bottles, found herself sound and well, now does her own housework 'and is as well as she ever was.—Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at Endly’s drug store.
