WALKERTON, ST’. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JAN. 10, 1891.

Parson Enyart. Below is Mr. Sitting Bull’s obituary culled from the writings of the distinguished Parson Enyart, editor in chief of the Macy Monitor, a weekly publication devoted exclusiveley to the advanceJ ment of the Christian religion: 3 I .Sitting Bull has suspended. He is supposed to be dancing the “Ghost” no7m^L 80me "here in his Satanic reserI was « fiend; in death I vation. In j>as °* 11 i'ttle mishe is dead— --Oti i>a t^RrMraC^!' llH ‘‘ 1 f and the uudersUuding between nch to the

Indian police on Um*- vWB station-hdiHel~Tie and some of the police succumbed to the weight of cold lead. The Indian police, when aroused, are almost as deadly as senator Ingulfs speeches in showing up a fraud or a demagogue. The troops behaved according to schedule. They captured Bull’s body and fell back in good order, after satisfying themselves first that life was extinct, and that he had no further use for his perforated carcass. Air. Bull was a great liar. Had he been a voter in Miami County last November he would have promised all the candidates his support, and then “sneaked ' to the polls and voted the straight Mugwump ticket prepared for .him in a lodge the night before. In his domestic life lie was quite

practical. He kept his belly fall of I beef, his jug full of rot-gut whiskey, ! and his tepee full of dogs and an assortment of squaws. He was not a social creature although lorn McGinnis claims to have smoked the pipe of peace with him on several occasions. In the absence of contradictory evidence we will have to believe Tom’s statement as true, notwithstanding Bull was never known to mention the circumstance to his most in imate friends. In personal ap]>earan. e he closeLv r^njlded Bill Masterson of the west end, Ri the old sinner used to utilize his defeat by working the government Indian agents for drinks. In his tastes and habits he was not AV fait, us we । frequently say in French. was nsver known to ride to tow 11^ kind, as hi*neverbelieved in a iuensiah 1 until a few weeks before his departure Estimated by the good he did in the world, he was as great a fraud as Henrv

numi, in- nan a u <0 aivui > George the great labor agitator ami demagogue of America. We now turn Mr. Sitting Bull over to Doc Endley, editor of the Walkerton Independent (non-partisan paper), whose reputation for abolishing the tramp nuisance in America is equal to that of St. Patrick in exterminating the snakes in Ireland, and let us hope that his (Sitting Bull) demise may be perpetual, and that if the Indians are again to be returned to dominion, that old Bull's hideous soul may be lost in the general shutlie. • ♦♦♦ — In this issue of the Democrat will be found “A plea for the country merchant.” There is more truth than poetry in it, anditcontains the doctrine we have been trying to preach for many years. The Elkhart Review relates the experience of two ladies of that city who went to Chicago to buy goods because they could get them cheaper there than at home. The experience of the Elkhart ladies will undoubtedly apply with equal force to many Plymouth ladies who go to Chicago to buy cheap goods. The Elkhart ladies kept a correct ac»count of their expenses and purchases, and this is the way it panned out: They each spent $5 for railroad fare, 50 cents for street car fare, 75 cents for dinner, 5 cents for gum and 25 cents

for lunch; total, $6.55. yZllieir purchases for both were : T^our tin plates, at 2 cents each, 8 cgJiMs; one lire poker, ° F coffee strainer, 3 cents! IJ^jSpair of rubbers, 65 cents; total, 81 cents.—Plymouth Democrat. We saw a man whipping a horse the other day. The beast squirmed at first, but finally seemed to come to the conclusion to submit to anything that might be inflicted, but it turned its head toward its persecutor and seemed to express with its eyes : “You brute.” —Argos Reflector. Every man(?) who will unnecessarily whip or otherwise abuse a dumb animal, ought to be publicly and severely whipped in return. Our moral inclinations prevent us from saying, d n such a brute. An outbreak of hydrophobia is feared at Warsaw. Some catshave been letj ting on that they had it, and one person was bitten by one of them, ft may be that its only catalepsy.

The selection referred to, tbfboys claim, is a fine piece of musk indeed, too much so to be apprecii ied by common editors and clothj iers. X

of D M. Petrie in this paper. Mr. Pe- , trio has the distinction of starting the first Pantatorium ever established in this place, and also of assisting in coining pie term. “Pantatorium” sounds, mind you. It is said the great Indian Messiah, so much talked about of late and who incited the Indians to tricks of treachery and deeds of deviltry, is A. C. Hopkins, six years ago a traveling man for a prominent Chicago wholesale house. He 's supposed to be insane.

There's no use talking, gentlemen, the New Albany Tribune is the strong- , est piditicid paper in Indiana. You

mignt just as well own the corn and be done with it. AVe don’t mean that it is the most radical, rampant, rule or ruin paper in the state, but the most logical and argumentative. Dr. J. M. Barrett, of Michigan, will give a practical talk at Bender s opera house, Monday evening at 8 o’clock, on the subject of Man aiid AN oman. He makes a present of an embroidery needle, his own patent, to everyone purchasing two reserved seats. Chart will be open for reserved seats at the Independent store, Saturday morning. Reserved seats 35c. General admission 25 cents. In speaking of gun-shot wounds recived by young Mr. Clem in our last issue, the lower jaw bone was spoken of as having been entirely shot away, when we should have said the upper one. Reversing the matter was not intentionally done, although it affords us more subject matter to make a wrong statement one week and take it back the next. Readers must remember that news items are scarce, as a rule, in AA alkerton. This paper is keeping it mum as the grave that there is a scheme now on foot in this place toorganizea^com^^

cause it's a folio.” But later ou the boys explained all about how much better a folio was, how much more covenient, how much handier for everybody, etc. Times have changed.
