Notice of Admiuistiation. Notice is hereby given, that the undersigned has been appointed by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of 1 St. Joseph County, State of Indiana, Administrator of the estate of Otis Williams, late of St. Joseph County, deceased. Said Estate is supposed to be solvent. SILAS GEORGE, Administrator. Anderson & DuShane, Atty’s for Adm’r. January 14, 189®. It is now Governor McKinley, that , gentleman having been inaugurated governor of Ohio on Monday. Chili has concluded to take its medicine and is preparing to apologize. Uncle Sam’s big bluff had the desired effect. —Michigan City Dispatch. This great nation is not in the habit of resorting to a “big bluff” in settling her troubles with other countries, especially with small fry like Chili. Indianapolis is making a valiant effort to secure the next democratic national convention. She is not receiving the aid and encouragement, however, from some quarters of Hoosierdom that she should. State pride alone, it would seem, should inspire every democrat, at least, within the borders of ttie state to take a hand in and help Indianapolis in her worthy effort. School opened Monday with the stars and stripes floating proudly to the breeze. Long may it wave over the public schools of our land as an | object lesson to inspire patriotism and I love of country in the minds of those ; to whom the destiny of the republic I will be soon entrusted. Milford Mail. The custom of floating the American flag over the public schools of our land is one which commends itself to every patriotic, thinking person. The Independent hopes to see the custom adopted by the schools of Walkerton < and the township.

; Gov. Humphrey, of Kansas, has api pointed ex-Congressman Perkins U. S. : senator to succeed the late. Senator Plumb. It was a fight to a finish and the governor was greatly annoyed by delegations of each candidate’s supporters. Last week’s Dispatch contained a , list of the building improvements in Michigan City during the year 1891, and it makes a handsome showing. ? he T al C ° Bt of the ^uilUings were M32,7b5. This would indicate that Michigan City is among the rapidly growing cities of northern Indiana. Liberals in South Berni are asked to communicate with C. H. Fitch, pastor of I eople s church, Kendallville, to prepare? for a forward movement of

popular, moral, non-seetarian religion m northern Indiana.—South iFend - Tribune. This forward movement of popular, Liberal religion is, from present indications, apt to., embrace the whole country before it stops. Fewer creeds . and dogmas and more of the true Christian spirit seems to be a rapidly growing sentiment everywhere. The । next few years will doubtless experience quite a revolution in religious matters.

We observe that the last two issues of the Silver Lake News had four or five very good editorials. We are very much * stuck” on our own productions, you see. —Nappanee News. From the above we take it that the Silver Lake News man has been in dnlging in the reprehensible practice of helping himself freely to the editorial columns of the*Nappanee Nows without : giving credit This may lie an easy I way of editing a newspaper but it is also a very poor method to adopt in the publication of a newspaper as it will result disastrously, sooner or later, to the reputation of the editor indulging in it. hen an editor once gets the reputation of being a plagiarist it is uphill work for him to make the public believe that the articles which he writes, if he can write any, are original, these free hooters on the high seas of journalism are sure to be made to feel, in the course of time, the error of their ways. » 1

ip'" a tavern a ! / Jtfi3 n fort? Tribune did not sonal scandal that appeared recently in the Cincinnati Enquirer. If anything is disgraceful to a newspaper, it is that of making itself the vehicle to carry personal scandals. Sink or swim, live .or die, the Tribune will not be the carrier of such stuff.—New Albany Tribune. And the Tribune’s position on this question will receive the hearty endorsement of the majority of newspapermen, among whom there appears to be a healthy, growing sentiment

against the practice of parading such stuff before the eye of the reading public. Large city blanket sheets, whose chief aim seems to be to till space, without much regard for the quality of the tilling, often in their feverish eagerness to get news resort to the publication of literature of the above variety, thus pandering to a vitiated public appetite instead of ad- , dresssing themselves to the moral and intellectual element of the community, as is the duty of the newspaper. There . are at least a dozen country papers published in Indiana that are edited with greater ability and more good sound sense than a large number of so-called metropolitan papers that we might mention. David Hoover and M. S. Apple, cit- । izens of Milford, were the actors in a shooting affray at that place the other day. Hoover blamed Apple for alienating his wife’s affections and causing their separation. The two men met to talk the matter over and a desperate fight took place. Hoover fired three shots at Apple, missing him every time. Apple in the meantime was putting in some pretty good licks with ' a club on Hoover’s head. The two men were separated and are under arrest. But the talk about Apple alienating Mrs. Hoover’s affections is mighty thin, to say the least. There are always two sides to this alienating business, and should there be any truth to this report about Mr. Apple and Mrs. Hoover, and not a case of blind jealousy on the part of the husband, then it would certainly look as though Mr. Apple is no more to be censured than is Nirs. Hoover. A woman who will allow herself to be drawn away from her home and husband by the fascinations of some other man displays $ lack of those qualities which are essential in the make-up of a good wife and mother, and a woman of that character is generally quite willing to be “alienated.” Woman is naturally the moral guardian of the world; she is the hope of the race, and should be true to the high mission to which she has been entrusted by an All-Wise Supreme Being,

THE OLD MAN WHO WANTED TO SING Daly Silenced by the Hard Hand o> so Unfeeling Policeman. He was a queer-looking old man, and as he sat in the waiting-room of the I bird street depot with a sachel between his cowhide bools he suddenly tuned up and began singing; “Thar’s a land that, is fairer than day, And by fate we kin see her afar; Our lather ” “They won’t allow that here, old 1 man!” interrupted a man who sat next to him. “Ihey won’t, eh? What have they got agin it. I’ve traveled in seventeen I different States, and I never had any- i body try to stop me from singing.” i And he cleared his throat, lifted his , eyes to tiie ceiling, and sang: i “In the sweet bimeby—biineby— We shall meet on that beuutilul shore; In the sweet " I •'We don’t allow that here, sir!” said ! Officer Button, whose attention had ’ been called to the disturbance. J'You don’t allow no singin' in here?’, • No, sir.” “No singin’ of religious songs?” “No ‘ sir.” “Look-a-here!” said the old man as he turned around to face the ollicer: “I’ve bin travelin’ up and down this 1 kentry for years, and this is the fust 1 time anybody has ever told me to shet my'head when I was a siugin’ a hymn.” “We can’t allow no disturance here,” replied the officer... . “Distir iance? Does it disturb anybody for me to sing: “We shall meet—we shall meet— We shall meet on that beautiful shore.” “You’ll have to stop that, sir!” commanded Button. “I will, eh? I’ve lived in Michigan, exactly seven miles from Bad Axe^ur over sixteen years and I’ve never heard of no law to stop a feller from singin’ 1 when the spirit moved him. I wasn’t ' singin’ no sportin’ song like: “O. Buffalo pals are you cornin' out to-night— | Are you cornin’ out to-night ■" “You must obey the rules and regulations here and keep quiet,” said the

Had you druther I’d" sing: ”O! think of the home over thar; By tin; side of the river of life, Whar’ the soul——” • “You’ll have to go out or stop!” said the officer, as he took the old man by the arm. “Is that accordin’ to Michigan law?” “It’s accordin’ to my instructions here.” “Is this railroad down on religious songs?” asked the old man, as he slowly got up. “Any singing or boisterous talking in here is forbidden,” replied the officer. “Wall. I feel like singin’. I’ve had the quinsy for the last four weeks and couldn’t hardly git my jaws open, but I’m better now and I want to sing. I don’t keer to sing any sich sportive songs as: “The old oaken bucket—the iron-bound bucket— The inoss-kivercJ bucket—which hung in the well.” The officer took him by the arm and ; | led him out doors, and’ told him to I l Slav’ out until he got through singing ; ‘ and could quiet down. “All right,” responded the old man, ■ as he opened his sachel and took out a : piece of sassafras root to chew on.” । ! “You folks here in Detroit are mighty ' techy on the subject of singin’, and 1 ■ j ain’t goiu’ to have no row and git in ' jail over it. I’ll do my singin’ out here, whar’ thar’ hain’t no law to pre-1 vent, any anybody who don’t like it j needn’t listen.’’ And he went down to the loot of the j street and walked to and fro and struck : up anew and in a higher key: "In the sweet—ln the sweet— In the sweol bi neby—bimeby.’ , —Detroit Free Press. HUMAN NATU.dE. It’s Evnrywhere—A S mph Trick Sets It Working in Great Shape. We had been talking in a general way in Uy? smoking car when an old- > ish man with a very innocent expres- • sion of countenance suddenly turned i and said: “Gentlemen.

a it' for that thing you've been bitten.” “I bev, eli? That's about what I had concluded.” “I should say,” observed the second man, after a thorough investigation, ; “that if 1 had my choice between a S2O bill and this watch I'd take the bill. I’ve seen better ones at $18.” “VV hat’s your opinion,” asked the old man as he handed it to a third. “Humph; you won't get mad?” "Oli, no.” ‘‘lf you have been swindled you want to know it.” “I do.” “Well sir, I used to be an agent for a factory in Connecticut which turned out better looking watches than this at $8 a piece to the trade!” “For the land sakes!” gasped the old man, and he settled back iu his chair and looked so heart broken that no one felt like saying anything more to him. An hour later, when I found him alone, and apparently in better spirits, I sat down beside him and asked: “How much did you really pay for that watch, anyhow?” He pulled out his wallet, hunted out I tlm bill, which was from the best jew- ' elry house in Chicago, and showed me 1 the figures. The price of the watch I was $275, with a guarantee on the bill | for five years.” “And I’ve been in the watch trade । myself for thirty-two years'” he said, as I returned the pacer. “But what was * your object?” 1 : asked. “Just to prove to mvself over a^ain that everbody likes 'to believe ”hat everybody else has been taken in and done for, ami that no one man in twenty knows half what he thinks he knows, especially about a watch.” — Detroit Free Press.
