CHILLAS, ADLER & COBLE. 127 South Michigan St. SOUTH BEND, IND. The Leaders of Low Trices. The citizens of Ligonier are giving the matter of incorporating as a city serious consideration. According to the Butler Record there is a. man in that town that offers his wife to another man for SIOO. Os the 1,900 policemen in Chicago it has been found that 1,555 are Irishmen, The sons of Erin have a decided cinch on the police business of this country. The law implies, says Superintendent of Public Instruction Voris, that teachers shall receive pay for all legal holidays occurring during the term of school, whether taught or not. 1 It is reported that Hon. Jolin 11. Baker, one of the brightest legal lights in f Goshen, and for that matte’ - in the j „ state, has been selected for appoint- ! ment as a judge of the Court of Claims. ( His nomination has been sent to the senate. Nappanee has a full-Hedged mad dog scare. A mad dog hailing from Goshen bit 48 dogs at Nappanee, all of i which were killed last week. One man was also bitten. He is now in Chicago for treatment. A mad dog epidemic seems to be prevalent in the northern ; part of the state. It‘beats all how some editors steal from their exchanges. Articles of a column or more in length are sometimes stolen and published as original mat- , ter, with perhaps a few little changes to give them a local application. Editors who lack the, ability to edit their own newspapers should either get out. of the business or give other men credit for their productions. This thing of trying to shine in stolen plurnage won’t work worth a cent in the newspaper

i The Chilians are said to be as madas hornets over the president's mes- , sag<‘Wesley Scott, of Floyd county, Ind., is a stayer. He has been postmaster I fifty-one years. Indianapolis claims that she could furnish ample accommodations for the crowds of visitors to the city in the < event of her getting the democratic . national convention. It is predicted, whether upon good grounds or not we don't know, that the delegations from Porter, Take and j the entire northern tier of counties I will be instructed for Hon. Mort Nye for governor. The report comes from Albion, 111., that another young lady has suffered ! the fracture of her rib by being hugi ged too hard.—Valparaiso Messenger. Here's dollars to cents that it wasn’t her rib that was fractured. Chili needs a good spankh and .v , .Not until V ucic siun 1 ! ims applied the. slipper with a few vigorous and well-directed licks will our fiery little neighbor come to her sober senses. Muncie has raised $200,000 to encourage manufactories to locate there, and has secured a steel mill, bolt works, I a rolling mill and other establishments I whose capital aggregatas two million 'dollars. Muncie has an improvement ' association (something that Walkerton needs) and a wide-awake class of citizens. Rochester is organizing an improvement association, and the Sentinel is happy. The Sentinel says that there are enough signatures to the ^articles of association to insure the success of the undertaking and by the first of the New Year the association will be firmly on its feet and ready to push Rochester to the front. What a paradise, compared to what it now is, existence on this earth would be were there no selfish, narrow-mind-ed, dishonest, hypocritical, gossipy people to create turmoil and destroy happiness.. It is refreshing as the morning sunshine to meet and grasp the hand of the true-hearted man or woman. Such people are truly the salt of the earth. Senator Preston B. Plumb, of Kansas, died of apoplexy at his apartments in Washington lm>t ' "-only

sis in the United States senate since 1877. His death is considered a great loss to the republican party and the country, as he was a statesman of long and tried experience. He began life at the printer’s case. A supplement to the Chinese exclusion act has been introduced in congress by Senator Stewart. It makes it unlawful after the passage of the act for any Chinese laborer to enter or remain in this country, and precludes all Chinese persons who may desire to pass through or over the United States or any part thereof, for any purpose ' whatever, from entering our portals. Should this supplementary bill pass through congress, which is doubtful, it will mean the exodus of our entire Chinese population. A vicious tramp assaulted a young school mistress whom lie met on her way home near Chesterton one day I last week. The plucky young teacher fought the villain successfully and i escaped with nothing worse than a I black-eye and a few bruises. Vigor- 1 ous search was made for the scoundrel ' by the girl's big brothers, but unfortunately they didn’t find him.—Mishawaka Enterprise. What a pity the girl was not armed i with a good six-shooter to have filled I that worthless tramp full of holes, j, There is no telling what hellish deeds |‘ the vagabond may commit before his ( fareer is ended. A woman is not ■ safe to walk alone a half mile from a । town’s limits without being armed and readv for those miscreants. Billy Beane, of the Goshen Demo-J crat, says that one of the meanest men he ever knew was a great hand to go to church and when he prayed, you । I could hear him a mile. Same over - here only it is a woman. Wanatah | I News. It seems that every community | must be afflicted with a few of that i class of people. Walkerton has its I share. We know of some people so devoted to their ‘-religious’' duties that they don't even get time to pay their honest debts. These people do the I cause of Christianity more harm than j all the other evils of the world com- i bined. Take hypocrisy from the; church and you remove from the hands of the infidel his strongest and ' I most effective weapon. A true christI ian is one of the noblest works of - i God, but heaven deliver ns from the ihi pocrite 1

JOHN E STEELE. Again has the dark hand of that grim monster death reached forth and taken from our midst one who was destined to become most useful to his fellow-beings; the home that was so beautiful and happy is now filled with sadness and sorrow; the future that was so bright and hopeful, darkness anj despair is in its stead. In our im. tense grief we scarce can refrain from I asking, Why, oh, why! is it thus with 1 one whoai wo loved so well, one so j young and so promising? Y e t, Wo dare not ask, dare not know. John E. Steele, son of George E. and Mary Steele, was born at what is known as Steele’s Mill, near North Liberty, May 25, 1860, and died at the Bennett medical college, Chicago, Dec. 17, 18‘dl, aged 25 years, 6 months and 22 days. Ho was married Nov. 1887, to Miss Ida Jones, who, togettg with two little daughters aged, respectively, two years and six ninths, suA vivo him, also hisfiT^^ JK motheil three uaw, J tfUUPOn ......

Jolin's character and reputation wer^ above reproach; he was ever an obedient and dutiful son, a faithful and loving husband, a kind and indulgent parent. His short life has been one of usefulness, having been a teacher in the public schools of Lincoln township for the past six years. In the last township election ho was successful in the race for the office of assessor. Undertaker Vincent was summoned to take charge of the remains. Thev, were brought to his father’s resident where they rested until Sunday, the , 30th inst., when the funeral occurred, at the West church at the hour of 10 a. m. Rev.

Bell, of Hazelwood, a suburb of th^t city, has applied for a patent on a th- : ing machine. The gentleman former- ’ ly lived in Elkhart, and went from here about two years age, since which time i he is said to have been working on his model, which is made of bamboo-Jap-anese silk, and aluminum, and op- i erated by a coil-spring. The model is about 21x18 inches in dimensions. ®y winding the spring and setting Ihe gearing, the Hying machine will Jise and sail about the room as directed'by the rudder. This is his fourth machine, ■ and he is sanguine that the large machine upon which he is now at w >rk will prove an absolute success. Jr. Bell will exhibit his machine in Ch 1 cago in April.
