The Tramp R’whanee. This paper fully agrees with the South Bend Times that vigorous measures should be adopted to suppress the army of tramps now scouring the country, begging, stealing, and committing all manner of depredations, contrary to the statute of the State of Indiana. But wo cannot agree with the Times in giving advice to “drum them out of the community.” Where will you drum them to? To the next community, and so on ad infinitum ? The great army of tramps in this drumming process would continue the rounds same as they now do. A tramp is a vagrant, and wo have well defined laws on vagrancy, and all therefore that is necessary, if wo are not seriously mistaken, to do is for each community to rigidly enforce the vagrancy law. Each city and town would have an advantage over the country people, in that they could more readily drive them out only to scatter through the country to rob and steal from farmers who could not possibly band together for protection. If the Times can convince us that drumming them from place to place, only forcing them to move on a little faster, is a better plan to down the contemptible nuisance than promptly arresting them under the vagrancy law already in existence, then all right, wo shall stand corrected. “Tramp" is only another name for a vagrant. A vagrant is defined to be “One who strolls from place toplace; an idle wanderer; a sturdy beggar; one who has no settled habitation, or one who does not abide in it; a vagabond.” That is Webster’s definition of a vagrant, and if it does not in every particular coincide with the meets and bounds of what we now denominate a tramp, we are incapable of comprehending Webster’s definition. The law in such cases is substantially as follows: Any person, above the ago of fourteen years, who is found traveling from place to place, begging his way and without visible means of support, may be arrested and lined and either placed in jail or forced to work out such fine at seventy-five cents a day. Until the Times convinces us of the efficiency of the drumming process, we shall advocate a vigorous enforcement of the law made and provided in such cases. We copy the article below from the South Bend Tribune, and advise our readers to carefully consider the advice therein given: “The farmers should not be in a hurry to part with their wheat to speculators this year. The advices are that there is a short crop in Europe and that the scarcity extends to India. The price has already advanced in Liverpool to a jioint higher than has been reached since 1884. From France comes the announcement that the money which was to have been used for the celebration of the fall of the Bastile, a day as important there as the Fourth of July is here, was given to farmers who lost their harvest by the excessive rainfalls. Unless all advices are at fault the American farmer will have a good wheat market. It has leaked out that there is no Bill Nye! All the writings of wit and humor heretofore attributed to a supposed veritable Bill Nye have been the work of Judge Thomas Dent, a Chicago lawyer. Bill Nye exists iu your mind only.—Walkerton Independent. These are the days of myths. We really suspect that the above item could not be traced to any substantial origin. Its author is, no doubt, only a bag of wind. Os course we are nut insinuating anything in regard to the editor of the Independent. He copied the item from the Macy Monitor.—Mentone Gazette. The Gazette is mistaken. We did not copy the item from the Monitor. We did not get our information from the Monitor. Again, the Independent always gives proper credit when it copies an item. Please bear iu mind. The above item was our own, obtaining the information from the Chicago Daily Herald, in au editorial of two thirds of a column’s length. Judge Thomas Dent, a Chicago lawyer, we repeat, is the author of the Bill Nye articles. Now, if the Monitor blacks the Gazette’s eye, we are not to blai m. Spoil TEEGARDEN. Very warm and dry with us. C. Hanson was in South Bend Tuesday purchasing goods and looking after other business interests. Several of our boys were at Walkerton Tuesday to witness the game of ball. Potato crop will be very light through this section this season. Wheat averages about 20 to 25 bushels per acre. Prospects for corn are splendid. 11. W. Ford is grinding out brick at the rate of 10,000 to 15,000 per day. Our Tyner City meat peddler must think Teegarden a nice place, by the way he lingers around the Milwaukee lager beer establishment. Uis meat wagon and team stood there six long hours Monday in the hot sun. We presume the meat was sweet and cool, however, as it is kept in one of

those patent refrigerators. The barb wire has been taken down along the ea^ side of Main street and replaced with boards. THANKS. Our sluggers put it to the Tyner City Sand-burr nine two to one in the game last Sunday. This is the third time in succession they have defeated Tyner. Chicken-thieves made a general raid on the feathery tribe last Saturday night but did not succeed in getting any place except at J. W. Falconbury’s where they got sor 6 nice spring chicks. Suspicion rests heavily on several parties. John Keck aud P. 0. Bowers were back from Chicago Saturday and Sunday. But returned Sunday evening again to Chicago where they are at work. Oh! Such unearthly oaths, threats and blasphemous words as were heralded from the lips of a couple ladies and gentlemen at each other Sunday evening on account of one party accusing the other of being connected with that chicken stealing affair. Was enough to make the hair stand straight up on a bald-headed man’s head. Mr. John Thomas met with a horrible aud painful accident Wednesday, in trying to remove a splinter from between the rollers of his planer his right hand was caught between the roller, drawing his hand and arm into the planer. His son being in the mill at the time stopped the machinery soon as possible, but not until Mr. Thomas’s arm was taken in nearly to the elbow, A surgeon was called aud amputated the arm above the elbow. R. S. Allen, who had his hand crushed in the clay crusher at Ford’s brick and tile works a few weeks ago, is improving >yX X X. TYNER CITY. Wheat threshing is nearly done and farmers report a good yield. Oliver Wilson is building a new house and otherwise improving his farm. John Neff, our genial station agent, has sold the old hotel property, and is building a very neat residence in the outskirts of the city. Mrs. Knott and daughter, Clara, will leave here in a day or two for Minneapolis. Master Willie Tyner, whose home is at Minneapolis, has been visiting here fur some time, but will return in a day or two. Mrs. Charles Richardson, of Dayton, Ohio, is visiting friends and relatives hereabouts. Mrs. Tyner, of Michigan, lias been visiting Mr. Neff and family, but returned to he’ no me last Tuesday. Jessee Bennett threshed 72 bushels of wheat that is entirely unlit for use on account of smut. X few other pieces iu this vicinity were similarly affected, but all were of the same variety culled mummy wheat. Last Tuesday night the wife of James Morris, living some two miles from here, was bitten twice on the foot by a rattle, snake. Although somewhat frightened Mrs. Morris got a club after being bitten and smashed his snnkeship's heud. Dr Moore, who is attending the lady bitten, reports her as getting along very nicely. Dr. Garner will move his stock of drugs to Donaldson in a few days. We wish the doctor success. A. A. Haag and wife have returned from Chicago and are now living in Tyner, and Mr. Haag is clerking ul the postolfice drug store. The best place in Tyner to buy notions, or get a good smoke, is at the postoQice. Dick. GRO VERTOWN. Sam Dipert is doing some building for Pete Welsh, of this place. Sam Uncapber lost a fine yearling colt this week, which tried to jump over a picket fence. We now have four stores at this place, and each are doing a fair business. John Mann knocks the grain out in a hurry with his new thrasher. Corn looks fair in this part of the country, but farmers say potatoes will be but a very short crop. Rev. Shouly, of Plymouth, preached for us on last Tuesday evening. A large congregation was in attendancePreaching at Grovertown Saturday evening, Aug. 2, by Rev. Mattox, of Plymouth. Pickles are coming in at full blast at present. The men at the factory say they are two weeks earlier than last year. Buck Davis 11116 wife have made upward of S6O picking huckleberries. They have only picked 15 days. Mike Welsh, of South Bend, was here at this placa the 28th inst- looking for a girl to do his house work. He says they have a fine boy at his house. Wheat is turning out pretty fair in this part of the country. Pedro. Mr. Chas. F. Daly has been appointed General Passenger Agent of the Lake Erie & Western and Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville Railroad Companies. The office of Assistant General Passenger Agent is abolished.
