‘-ir The McKinley Bill at Mork * A disjatth from Utica, N. Y., says: “As a result of the McKinley bill, 300 men will soon begin work in a factory in the village of Clark’s Mills, outside of this city, which up to the present time has been idle since the Mills tariff bill passed the democratic congress while Cleveland was president.” A Waterbury, Conn., dispatch says: “The Waterbury Button company have advanced the wagts of ivory-button turners 10 per cent.” A Pittsburg dispatch says: The Chicago Tin Plate company, a new concern w bich w ill receive its charter next week, has ordered a plant here for a capacity of 2,560 boxes per week. The plant includes four mills, eight sets of cold rolls and the requisite machinery for the latest types. The president of the new' company is the general manager of one of the western systems. Those interested in the venture are all railroad men, but their names are not given for publication. The general manager of the works will be Mr. Parkers, formerly connected with the Illinois Steel company. The St. Louis Stamping company has also ordered machinery for a similar output. This company has J '.v "to Aland process for soruz’ The Torts' ami Tfffi^'^'itVhinery for a capacity of 2,500 boxes per w eek will be shipped without delay. The company will increase the capacity to 5.0G0 Loxes per week within twelve months.—South Bend Tribune. Revenge In Sweet. We have a spite at some of the republicans iu this locality, and also hold a grudge at some of the democrats, ami in order to get even reproduce the following from the LaPorte Argus, which will tickle the democrats to death and make the republicans so mad that they will go into fits and never come out. See? “All the signs point to a serious split in the Republican party. Harrison and his followers want to go ahead and light it out on the line of the McKinley bill, while another faction says the only hope for the party is to modify the Lill by materially lowering the taxes all along the line. Blaine has always been hotly opposed to the McKinley bill, and it is likely to force him out of Harrison’s cabinet within a short time. He can hardly stay in the cab inet and oppose Harrison’s re-nomina-tion, or allow himself to be brought out as a candidate while holding such a position, and there seems to be but one alternate, and that is to resign or be kicked out.” Ihere, we have ;ldlled two birds with one stone. Tuesday’s dispatches and newspaper reports confirmed what we said Monday in reference to the gloomy outlook for war with the Indians. There were reliable reports on Tuesday to the effect that the Rosebud, Cheyenne and Pine Ridge hostile Indians were up in arms and intrenched ready for war in a portion of the wild Northwest called the Bad Lands. They were committing all sorts of depredations, killing settlers’ cattle, robbing, plnnderring and burnig their houses. On Tuesday the Indians appeared determined to disobey the demands and commands of the Great Father at W ashington, and seemed to be eagre for pillage and for fight. It is believed that several Indian scouts were killed up to Tuesday’s dispatches. Now for the newspaper fight over the message. One class will denounce it as a silly document, and claim that the President did not do himself justice, while another class will declare that it is the most brilliant message ever submitted to Congress, and thus will the , great and the small differ. Non-par- •* Geau I’Apors will claim* tn al Tl is an average, of 0011^^. Now read the niml rooster’s criticisms on the President’s message. it will require about nine hundred of them t to fathom it, but they’ll criticise it all the more. The less they know' about it, the more they’ll assume to know. — . STARTLING FACTS. The American people are rapidly becoming a race of nervous wrecks, and the following suggests the best remedy: Al' phonso Hempfling, of Butler, Pa, swears that when his son was speechless from St A Uns dance Dr. Miles’ great Restorative Nervine cured hi.n.

Thieving FditorN. : “In chapter two hundred and eight, ) section two, of the last acts of tin* legislature, will be found the law to the effect that who ever owns a dog, stands by and permits him to fight, is guilty t of a misdemeanor, and may be lined f and imprisoned.” i Walkerton has more dogs than any town. Some of them have royal blood coursing in their veins. We detest dog > fighting. Therefore, some time ago we looked up the law and formulated the above paragraph for the purpose, if possible, of restraining dog fighting in this otherwise peaceable town, by aiming to frighten the owners of the above described royal blooded canities. The item was clipped in numerous of our exchanges and credited “Exchange." But the item was finally shorn of even the exchange credit and lias been dragged into this office by several papers us original matter. So much for stealing. Now, if those editors so prone to stealing outright, will take the trouble to look up chapter two hundred and eight, section two, of the hist acts of the legislature, they will find to their chagrin that no such law is there given, nor anyjyjim-e else in the book. Belou i^fho^nigmul squib, ■Which appeared ii(^*Tu this paper of Nov. 15, ’9O. In clmpier two hundred and eight, section two, or the last nets of the legislature, will be found the law to the effect that whoever owns a dog, stands by and permits him to tight, is guilty of misdemeanor, ami may be fined and imprisoned. Boys, you who have fighting dogs and urge them to fight, are liable to the law. Take warning. Editors by giving the proper credit may avoid getting themselves into such ridiculous predicaments A farmer living near Sturgis, Mich., who reads gud compliments the lx PE pendent, especially on its politics, and claiming that he himself is practically of about the same politics, writes: Stuygis, Mich., Nov. 30, '9O. Mr. Editor: Thanksgiving and the war of politics practically over we are again settling down to business, nt peace, and with but a few slight differences in reference to the McKinley bill, of one mind. The farmer having disposed of his products at reasonably fasr prices, has pockets full of cash which he is dividing with the merchant, the manufuetner and the printer, ma king all happy ami oiminess boom. Now with lots of ability, energy and goahead tiveness, free trade mid protection well mixed, we are destined to be one of the most prosperous countries the sun ever shone upon, Potatoes will grow larger, corn will gyow taller, pumkin vines will grow longer than ev<r before, and tin* star of Ih thlehnm w ill again appear, the lamb will lie down with the lion, ami peace and plenty will reign for a thousand years. Our correspondedt appears to be happy as a clam iu high wutter. Farmer Lanning should proclaim Lis glad tidings from the stump. Grand Holiday Excursions! Via Lake Erie it Western railroad and I’t.

It stands in the third place in ISX), where It will remain ten years and then move up to second place in 190CX where it will rest for one hundred years. There is another “9” which has also come to stay. It is unlike the figure 9 In our dates in the respect that it has already moved up to first place, where It will permanently remain.
