We sent a reporter nine miles out to get the particulars of a wedding, and of all the mixed messes ever reported to a paper that, report took the cake griddle and all. It was his first attempt, and he conceived the idea that he must memorize the particulars and report orally to the editor. He had been there, and that something like a wedding had occured, but further than that he knew nothing. He had followed butchering in this place for some time. He admited that as a reporter he was a failure, but claimed that he could kill a bog as slick as the next fellow. A friend of ours in a friendly and mild manner reprimanded us for misquoting the Chicago He raid, as to its statement regarding the amount of tin ore in the Black Hills. We had no desire to misquote the Herald in the premises, and believed when we penciled the paragraph that it was true. Our friend tells us that the quotation was correct, but that it was a correspondence to that paper, and to which statement the Herald took exceptions editorially. Far be it from our desire to lead a suffering world estray, and we hereby hope to mako the amende honarable. Old man Probabilities, Hicks, and a few other would be prophets and weather indicators had been talking about a severe winter, and about a great fall of snow soon coming, and that it would lie upon the ground all the balance of the winter, and all these things until we actually became frightened about the gloomy prospect. We therefore saw Prophet Peter Q. Nichols and asked him how about all this com. ingsuow and cold winter. “Nonsense," says Peter. “All bosh. Dont you be scairt. We’ll have rain in two or three days. This cold snap amounts to nothing. We’ll have an open, warm winter"! We felt relieved, and concluded to never again permit that old fraud Hicks to work us up in that manner again. Lost Our Authority. ^Th^rn-nnnrr^ ,^,^l 41^, fob lowing item: “The Chicago Herald i says there is tin enough in the Black Hills to supply the world, and under the McKinley law the tin industry will develop rapidly. What’s the matter with the Herald ?” We have forgotten where we obtained our authority for making the statement, whether in the Herald itself or in an exchange. We are anxious to find the authority on which we based the state ment. If we have an exchange that said anything about it, will it be kind enough to repeat what it said, and oblige the Independent?

After singing by the choir, the convention adjourned and all participated in a social good time for about 20 minutes. TUESDAY. The convention assembled nt 9 a. m. and was led in devotional services by Rev. J. 11. Wilson, after which Dr. Beck took the chair and called the convention to order. Rev.

The ad advantages of District Epworth League”'' convention, was an interesting papacy j Miss Clara PeiHy, 'which was hjghly »p- j predated by all. On motion the convention adjourned to meet at 1:30 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. The convention assembled at 1:30 p. m., and was led in devotional services by Rev. 11. I). Utter.

A paper, Duty of Epworth League to support the gospel and the various benevolent objects of the church, was read by Mrs. Belle Dressier, of LaPorte, which was commented upon by members of the convention. Surely, those who had the pleasure of listening lo the paper felt more enthused to give toward benevolences than ever before. Rev. D. M. Wood, of Plymouth, read a paper on Devotional Work of the League. Object of the League, Purity, Piety, Growth, Mercy, Help. He set forth the work of this department as the greatest ui all departments. This paper was followed by discussions. Pastoral Visitation, was an able paper by Rev. H. A. Incker, of Rochester.

After a farewell song by the choir the convention was dismissed with the benediction by Rev. R. D. Utter. It was decided to hold the next convention at Rochester. Bessie Shoemaker, Sec. Tigs will be flying thickly in the air when the Chicago Herald and Inter Ocean agree on any proposition.

He might have a good time right here in 'Walkerton for a day or two. For president in ’92, the editor of the ..Chicago Herald. There isn’t a paia-'grapir-m t-mUTTeTir +trrrri^^^ message that the Herald man can't knock out the first round. TLe Herald ma” shows that it is a silly document in its entirety. Benjamin Harrison isn’t anywhere. On Thursday reports of the Indian troubles were limited. No change, to speak of, had taken place. Col. Cody (Buffalo Bill) thought that war must come. Capitain E. H. Higgens, who is said to be excellent authority, claimed that fighting would surely be the ultimatum. The situation regarding the Indian troubles, according to the great daily papers, on Wednesday, remained very much in the same condition, save with the slight difference that the war cloud bad thickened just a little. The Indians were reported to be still further pre- , paring for the contest, and the same . was true of the. United States’ troops. The heavy snows and cold weather in that region, which had been longed for by the government agents, hoping that it might have a tendency to quiet the hostiles, seemed to have but little, if any, effect on them, and, as we have - said above, the cloud thickens a little on 5 Wednesday.

Watson, of Jersey City, is one offhe best-known surgeons in this oountry. Ho has done much for the good of scientific surgery. But ho has recently issued a pamphlet that puts a clnb iuto the hands of theanti-vivisec-tioniste, and they will surely use it. It is called "Au Experimental Study of Lesions Arising from Severe Concussion." Dr. Watson should have called bis production “A Record of Wanton Cruelly." The experiments were conducted in order to examine into the conKeqncnccH of certain forms of railway injury. For this purpose 141 dogs were dropped upon their buttocks am! spins from a height of twenty-four feet. Dr. Watson draws no conclusion that can lie of any benefit to science. The experiments were simply exhibitions of stupid and wanton cruelty. Tim ad- . vamvment of surgical science demands making of this kind, needs nothing of sil'k, 1 It hiamld rniHdeuauce nothing like this, which for cruelty and Uselessness goes bey ond anything ever doaked in the mantle of science. It is far the regulation ami prohibition of tlas sort of thing that we need laws regulating experiments on animals. Wlien rightly conducted, experiments on animals are of benefit to medical science. But Dr. Watson's experiments were cruel and unjustifiable from any point of view.—Chicago Herald. The Herald is nothing if not one of the most inconsistent papers in Chicago. It rants and fumes about experiments on dogs for the benefit of medical science which it is hoped wi’l redound to the benefit of the human family, and then in the same issue, with apparent ghoulish glee, publishes and dilates favorably on killing sound, healthy and valuable horses at Sing Sing, New York; for the purpose of testing the electric machine there, devised for killing human beings. But there are thousands so wedded to the Herald, thoujh its inconsistencies may loom up fountain high, that they shut their eyes and down go the allopathic doset of inconsistencies, lios and all The kerald is on tap and for sale- every day.iAUudays included, at this office. f Just Opened!
