Ihieves are reducing the law libraries of a number of South Beni's attorneys. A number of valuable books have been stolen, and it is supposed that the thief, or thieves, sells them to second hand book dealers in Chicago. Orlando Marlineo hereby gives notice that he will cure one case of tooth ache and one case of eczema in every township in St. Joseph county free. All poor people will be treated free of Orlando Martineo, ’ Walkerton, Ind. The Pottawattomie Club last week /bought of Peter Baum twenty five acres of land bordering on Koontz's Lake. This, in addition to the land they already owned in that locality, gives them quite a desirable territory. Nex* season the Club will erect a canning factory and $6,000 c’ub house near the lake. 1 The Waterloo Democrat tells of a lady in that town who deposited $135

in her rag sack and afterwards unthoughtedly sold the sack of rags to a peddler. A little later she was on the street anxiously inquiring for that rag man who, fortunately, was not far away. We ask the indulgence of our readers for the lack of local matter in this issue of the Independent. The paper was gotten out under a mountain of difficulties, all the force but one man being laid up with sickness this week. He had to get up copy, distribute and set type, do the job w’ork. attend to the books, build fires, etc., etc., etc., etc. The county commissioners have appointed Marshal Lew Stover, of South Bend, to the position of superintendent of the county poor farm. He will assume the duties of the office at the expiration of Supt. Chapman’s term, Dec. 1. Mr. Chapman has served in this position for five years very faithfully,

and we believe with satisfaction to ev- I erybody. Bev. O. 11. Berry lias been assigned the pastorate at Brookston, in the Lu Bayette district. Mr. Berry lias work- ; ed faithfully and well to advance the ; interests of the M. E- church in this place and, we believe, lias been successful, He will leave Walkerton followed by the best wishes of many friends. His successor is Rev. S. IV. Goss, of Knox. Mr. George W. Green, of South Bend, and Miss Lavina Frame, of this

place, were united in marriage by El- ' der Peter Hummer at the home of the 1 bride’s mother near town on last Thursday at 2:15 p. m. The marriage was quietly conducted, none but the immediate relatives of the couple being present to witness the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Green immediately be- , gan housekeeping in South Bend where the groom had prepared a cozy residence for them.

The fairs at Bremen and New Carlisle were each a brilliant success this season. Walkerton is losing valuable time in this respect. Cal Sinninger, editor of the Bremen Enquirer, contemplates purchasing a i newspaper cylinder press for his office. I That’s right, Cal, kick out the lumbering old hand press. We will as soon as we can. Peter Baum will hold a public sale his place of residence, three fourths of a mile east of Koontz’s mill, on Tues day, Oct. 20, 1891, at 10 a. m. Horses, stoek, household goods, etc., will be sold to the highest bidder. A black shoat estrayed to my place

Flack, It is said that a piece of zinc placed on the live coals in a hot stove will effectually clean out a stovepipe, the vapors produced carrying off the soot by chemical decomposition. This is a useful thing to know for those who burn wood, and are fearful of chimney fires. Mr. Robert Robison and Miss Amanda Devine, both of the Island, were married by Rev. G. L. Mattox at the U. B. parsonage in this place on last Sunday evening at 9 o’clock. The

couple will go to housekeeping at once on the groom’s farm. The best wishes of many friends attend them. Last Sunday, Oct. 4, was what is known as ‘‘Rallying Day” by the Presbyterian Sunday schools throughout the United States. Most schools celebrated by having, instead of the usual exercises, addresses and singing to intersperse the regular reunion services and planning of future Sunday school work. An Elkhai drug clerk lit a match to discover whether a bottle that he was filling from an ale hoi barrel in the cellar, was full. No sooner had he lighted the match than there was an explosion of much violence followed by quite a conflagration which brought

out the department. This fellow is a lit companion to the man who hunted for gas in the cellar with alighted candle.—Ex. It is to be hoped that 'he powers that be in the M. E. conference now in session at South Bend, will be wise enough to return Rev. S. W, Goss to the work at this place for another year. This gentleman has labored hard to build up the church and has succeeded in having erected one of the finest little church buildings in the State. It would be no more than ,i c ht that Lbe allowed to officiate tor tue year vz, at least.—Knox Ledger. The powers that be have willed otherwise. The Rev. Mr. Goss has been assigned the M. E. pastorate at Walk er ton. The Independent is glad to be able to reproduce from the Ledger the above eulogistic notice of the reverend gentleman, as it goes to show that he is a hard worker and able minister. The world is full of men who speak lightly of woman's character, and that.

too, when they have little reason for so doing. Be careful how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been building it; of the toils and privations endured, of the wounds received, and let no suspicion follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race, the hope of future greatness, the redemption of men. Wipe out her purity and man sinks beneath the wave of despair, with no star to guide his life in a channel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever grew; so, the vilest man may ruin the purest woman's character. —Goshen Democrat. It was about two o’clock last Thursday morning when Kirt AVolfenbarger was awakened by a noise at the head of his bed. He started up just in time to see his pants and vest, which he had

hung on the post of the bed. moving away in the grasp of a masked burg- I lar. Kirt made a grab for his clothes I but missed; he sprang up and grabbed । again but the “Artful Dodger” of a ' burglar eluded him, and as Kirt made another close lunge the burglar flour- : ished a knife at him as a polite yet firm reminder not to come too close and quickly disappeared on the run, and by the time Kirt had dressed himself in shape to follow him, had of i course made good his escape. The 5' burglar is the richer by a pocketbook

which Kirt had in his vest pocket containing some thirty dollars besides silver to the amount of seven dollars and fifty cents in the pants pocket. Some valuable papers also were in the pocket book but these will be of no use. to anyone but Kirt. The burglar entered through a window in the sitting room which had been left unfastened. Kirt had no revolver nor anything with j which to defend himself.

The Dr. also attended a reunion of his old regiment, the 29th Ind., at Bremen Oct. 7 and 8. The

i Dr. was a resident of this place for I many years, leaving here in 1866 for liavist ily, where he has since resided. The Dr. was surprised at the growth ami improvements Walkerton has made since lie last saw the town, ( and said it far surpassed his most sungnine expectations. —• 11 — Ihe medical profession disguises from the public the fact of the preva- | lence of kidney troubles, because of M r JHPi^rlhrlr.j^tients most noted physicians speak plainly. 11.

Prophet Foster says: “It wdl be the coldest and most stormy especially deep and drifting snows that has been experienced for many years, ('old weather with blizzards and drifting snows wil{ begin early in October in the elevated region of Colorado and the Dakotas and very cold weather earlier than usual, will cover the states and territories of the northwest and ■ the Missouri river valleys. With the very deep snows that will fall and the numerous tierce storms that will occur, travel and transportation will be greatly impeded. About the middle of December the weather will become warmer and average so until about the first of January, 1892. when the cold wave will come again in January and February will average colder than has been experienced in many years past.” On last IVednesday the neighbors

and friends of Nirs. Albert Vincent ; 1 were greeted with the sad int.-Higei.ee of her death. Iler illness was of but i short duration but the disease, a violent attack of erysipelas, baffled ali the . skill of physician and nurse and claim- , ;cd her for its victim.

Alexander I . King of .Servia. Servia is a new European monarchy. I It was for many years one of the small I principalities situated on the lower Danube, and bounded by Turkey. Aus- | tria and Russia. Its security was con- ' stantly in peril through quarrels with I its neighbors because of oho rival am- i r

bitions of those powers. Finally, in I i 1882. it was made un independent । kingdom,each of the nations who were eager to absorb it consenting to its independence with the view of preventing the territory from falling into the hands of the others. The family of Obrenovich had long been Princes of Servia, and its bead became the first king, under the title of Milan I. He hml married Natalie, the daughter of I a Russian colonel n cd de Kechko, I and to them was born on August 14. 1876. their oifly child, a sou named I Alexander. rofletWi* her Russnhi patriotism outweigh her prudence, and of lending | herself to plots and intrigues which aimed at bringing Servia in greater or less degree under the control of her own country. The result was a long and bitter quarrel, of which the end was their separation and the expulsion of Queen Natalie from Servia. King .Milan I. finally abdieati I his throne. ■ and his son became King of Servia on I March 17. 1889, under the title of Alexander 1., while still in his thirteenth year. The actual government is in the hands of a “Council of Re- '< «... an.l nf t II.» Ill.lst

gency. composed of three oi tne mosi experienced statesmen and soldiers of the country; and Alexander is yet in care of his tu’ors. and he rarely sees either of his parents, neither of whom , ! lives at Belgrade, the capital. His | real authority is as yet but slight. He ! is an attractive youth, speaks French and German, as well as the Servian 1 i dialect, and is reported to be intelli- ! gent, well-disposed and manly. His reign lias thus far been peaceful an 1 prosperous, for the men who govern in । his name have shown themselves to be both sagacious and patriotic. — St. Ni holds. ‘ However, I did not have the patience to wait, but immediately began looking about for some house whose appearance was prepossessing.
