There is a case in Plymouth, if reports are trne an aggravated one, in which the South Bend Tinies may pass sentence. The old log school-house in which President Garfield taught iu 1851, has teen purchased for exhibition at the world’s fair, Parties in need of first-class sewing machines, should see the Improved Singer before buying.

Wolfe’s new tailor, is turning out some fine jobs of work. He makes a complete fit in coat, yest or pantaloons. The celebrated Singer sewing machine is now sold by J. F. Strang.

Au exchange says: “The man who gets mad at what the newspapers say about him, should return thanks three times a day for what the sewspapers know about him but keep in the dark background.” We learn from the Michigan City Dispatch that our Mr. Charles Shaw is a citizen of the town by Hoosier Slide. You’ll find him to be a quiet citizen, regular iu habits, aud that he won’t fool around the groceries and grog-shops. Tho L. E. &W. report a large increase of freight and passenger business at Walkerton during 1890, after comparing same with business of 1889, which will show they have been prompt with all their shipments and civil in dealing with patrons. Vlt is said that quite a number of the

members of the Young Men’s Christian Association held quite an interesting session at the south-west part of town Wednesday night. Certain matters pertaining thereto were not fully settled until two or three days afterward. Colonel Hoyne, whom President Har rison appointed Indian commissioner, after an absence of about two months has returned home. The Col. says that he believes he is back with a whole scalp. He was with Turtle Mountain Indians of the Cbipewa tribes in North Dakota. He claims to have discovered Indiana wern not recmipg their just Ites. He probably means rations, raiment, etc. There might be a dis-1 ference of opinion as to what their just dues are. Your attention is called to the article in this issue dealing with the beet sugar prospect for Indiana. The facts are given by a practical farmer, one who is competent to write intelligently concerning agriculture in all its phases. If the company referred to by the author of the article in question, desires to locate a plant in this state, and we have no reason to doubt the writer’s statement, why would it not be a good idea to take some steps to secure the plant? We all know that the pickle industry at this place is of incalculable benefit to us, and a plant like the one under consideration would double discount the cucuprber business without a doubt. Should any of our farmer friends feel interested in the premises let them call upon the Independent and it will give away the author’s name who sprung the project, and who might offer e&in eval liable pointers as to the best method of mewing in the matter/'

Quite a number of the former pupils of Prof. J. A. Jones, formerly principal of the Walkerton schools, assembled at the school house for the purpose of taking initiatory steps toward arranging \for a reunion of all the former pupils of ! ±Arof. Jones at this place some time in'*'the spring. Arrangements were perfected for the holding of a meeting Wednesday evening, Jan. 15, at the high school rooms in Walkerton. All the old pupils of Prof. Jones are earnestly requested to be on hand at 7: 15 o’clock sharp. \Do not forget the date. Come sure. " The officers and meifi^ers of the M. E. Sunday school met nStMhe church parlors last Tuesday evening'\fo r the election of officers. The meetin fc ,^?'^ s called to order by Rev. Berry, and vS

L. Tank acted as secretary for the evening. The officers were elected as follows: E. J. Vincent superintendent; D. W. Place, assistant; C. M. Stephens, sec. retary;M. D. Leibole, assistant; Ida Beach, treasure, and organist; Maud Ewing, assistant organist; Iva Daugherty and Hattie Hostetter, librarians: Minnie Platts, chorister. The new

I teachers elected were Mrs. Robbins, Ella McDaniel, Iva Daugherty and Emma Cook. A very fashionable game now being almost the sole amusement in fashionable circles of larger places, is called “Tiddledy Winks.” Below we give the particulars of the game, so if it should strike Walkerton you’ll all know exactly how to play it. “An exchange says it is very simple when you know how to play it The game is played with tiddledies, winks, a wink-pot, dinguses, duflicities, etc, any number of players may engage in the game. Each player takes a dingus. The winks are divided equally, likewise the duflicities. Take a wink, put it on the dingus, then by pressing a tiddled on the wink, make it jump into the wink-pot if you can. If you succeed you are entitled to a duflicity, and for every wink you jump into the ding-pot from the duwink you count a flictiddledy, and continue so to operate the tinkwinkle upon the pollywog until the points so carried shall equal the sum total of the hogwip multiplied by the puterinkum and added co the contents of the aforesaid wink-pot, or words to that efl'ect, you may be said to have won the game. ■ »- —- ——— The Lumber Yard. D. N. Hudelmyer^he lumberman of tins place, handled during the year ’9O, thirty-five car loads of lumber, 525,000

feet, costing $8,750.00; seven car-loads of lime aud cement, 875 barrels, costing $675; nine car-loads of brick, 80,000, costing $625; three car-loads of land plaster, costing $250; sash, doors and blinds to the amo’ at of S7OO. amounting in all to eleven thousand dollars. It will be seen that by giving prompt attention to the lumber business, as Mr. Hudelmyer is kown to do, there is a sufficient amount of demand for such goods in Walkerton to well pay one establishment of the kind. Mr. Hudelmyer also handled a large amount of shinglesand lath which are not mentioned above. The yard as it is now managed is an excellent thing for Walkerton, in that supplies of all kinds for any sort of building or repairing may be had at a moments warning.

For Once a Doctor In Said to liave gone Wrong! Dr. E. W. Viets, of Plymouth, a homeopathic doctor, is in the Plymouth jail for on alleged attempt to commit an outrage an an unhealthy, puny 13-year-old girl named Southworth. The child was sent to the doctor’s office about six o’clock in the evening for some medicine for her mother, and it is said that the crime was committed at that time. The enraged father hunted the doctor with a double barreled gun. and, it is thought, would have put an end to the affair had he succeeded in getting sight of him. Loud threats of lynching were made by ' a gang of men and boys when the doctor was taken from the justice’s office to the jail. It is said that the doctor appeared : to be very much frightened and was anx- ! ions to get tnto jail. It is allege^ that the crime was committed Years day. Reports are that it is not the docto^ymoffensa o{ the kind. We sincergj^opg that it ig ' not as bad as then^ure ma kea ap . ’ pear, for that ijxftter, that there is no s truth in the report at all, for it will > have a slight tendency to bring the medical fracternity into disrepute, the 5 same having heretofore been regarded 1 as free from trespass and sin. 8 / — _— _ MEN WANTED.

William Wing, discovered the cause and obtained an interesting relic of the fury and force of things in the sea which the ordinary landsman wots not of. Well down toward the keel on the starboard side Capt. Wing found a hole in the ship’s copper. The copper was ripped off and the hole followed through the three-quarter inch pine sheafing. The underlying three-inch white oak plank was found to be split as though with a wedge, and imbedded in it and to a depth of an inch and a half in the frame timber was the slender bony snout of a billfish. The piece of snout was about live inches long and increased from a half-inch in diameter at the tip to an <ich at the point of fracture. Near by was found the tip of another snout, imbedded about an inch and a half in the oak planking. This oak is about as hard as lignum vital, and the force exerted I by the fish to penetrate it as far as it i did is incalculable.— Ban Francisco Examiner.

galled to Account. “Editor I^ndent : I underst^* 1 y° u to 3a y that the Bible does not|P ho W us in inflicting capital Permit me to say that it doe#.^ 11 ® Wrongest terms. Gen ix. A ‘Whoso sheddeth man's blood bv m s n sball his b l° od bo shed: for in’tbe iwS e °f God made he man.’’ Exodus xxi- 12 ' ‘He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall bo surely put to death.” Numbers xxxy. 16. “And if he smite him with an in«t’-ument of iron, so that he die hei4»™derer: the murderer shall surely be Put to death.” You will f»y that it is all of the Old ' Bible, but cl us see what Christ says ; about it: Mathew xtvi. 52. ‘Then said Jesus , unto him, Ip "P again th .Y sword into his place: :or all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.’

uiuw is, ana uiey are to be followed, th there is consistency in the follow^ bible quotations, and which shot£ Iso bo followed, and to which quotations we invite Friend Masterman to acolmpany us: Exodus xxi YG. “And ho that stealelll a man, iu p selleth him. or if ho be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.” Exodus xxi. 17. “And he that enrseth his father, or bis mother, shall surely be put to death.” Also, versus 20 and 21: “And if a man smite hk servant, or his maid, with a rod, ap^J, die under his hand: he shall b£ y punished.” “Notwii)^ .nding. if he continue a day or two. h£*J all not be punished: for he is hiso^iey.” Same ^£}})ter, verse 24. “Evo for eye, ♦<x>t*o* ?r tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.^ SameQ^hor says yon may kill a servant wihn^it receiving punishment, provided hfjjjvcs a day or two. Manv^. h bible quotations might be cited wS3' are just as authoritative as the one^Jited by our contributor in jnstifie^^u of hanging. But we all ignore bible instructions to take “Eye fr**ye, tooth for tooth, hand fm ! hand, frAwfor foot.’’ Win ? It is bimUK* * Ide jii.MiqrM* positively as are the Scriptural ciM»4ons handed in bv I. M. If ■ our cite Mons are not to be int<»rpreted litte should I. M.’sbe? When Exodus say#: “He that hi a niin To Uiat boamTsßTl* be surely put to death," von take for

- * -- — ■ ’ - granted that that is just what is meant, don't yon? Then, when in a few verses further along, in the same chapter, giving the same law, says: “And he that curseth bis father, or his mother, ( Here, "mother," at least, must refer to things earthly, for we know of no Heavenly mother) shall surely be put to death, you are compelled, for the sake of consistency, to also take that for granted. Do you know of any civilized country pi which they hang a man for cursing his mother? So far as the New Testament citation, which our friend finds in Mathew, u concerned, in our opinion, has nothing whatever to do with the giving of the law. It does not say that a murderer, or one who kills another, shall perish by the sword, nor does it have th* \ightest reference to the kind of punishment to be inflicted in case of murder. Christ was talking to his cap. tors, who had come in great multitudes, with swords and staves, to take Him captive jnst before the crucifixion. The language is, “For all they that take the sword, etc.,'and not one word about murder or crime of any sort. But when you quote the language of

the writer of Exodus, whoever that may be, or the language of any writer of any booh in the bible in justification of capital Hmisbment, with many misgivings and'great difficulty do you apply such quotations. Our friend started out by thy in g that he b'A’^r stood there were uu bilH-^^^ —“-N't, . hr said so 111 - r-WP ,4a* m now say m these a ^unhs. But / that w j <*o not believe therem^Wiß(|^L tary reason to be fop id in the bible iii favor of capital punishment worthy of a moment’ B consideration, because for everv one which might be construed as favoring the proceed lire, a dozen may be found opposing it.
