Notice of Administration. Notice is hereby given, that the undersigned has ‘ been appointed by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of । St. Joseph County, State of Indiana, Administrator ' of the estate of Otis Williams, late of St. Joseph i County, deceased. Said Estate is supposed to be solvent. SILAS GEORGE, Administrator. Anderson & Do Shane, Atty’s for Adm’r. January 14, iSj?. The Walkerton Independent is one of the brightest and most entertaining papers that comes to this otlicp.—Milford Mail. Some newspaper punster who is utterly reckless of his own bodily welfare says that John Sherman now wears a four-acre smile. The country at large is not intimately acquainted with the Hon. B. W. Bykins, senator from Kansas and colleague of the Hon. Peffer. But it notes that he wears no whiskers and breathes a sigh of relief.—Westville Indicator. There is a new automatic astronomical attachment that records the exact moment at which the moon is full. Let some latter-day genius readjust the device so that it will serve like notice upon the hilarious rounder, who never knows exactly when he is full.—Avilla News. A correspondent of the Indianapplis News writes that the ’word lagrippe is said to come from the Polish Crypka, meaning ‘•hoarse,’ - others recognize it in the French word “grippe, - ’ which means to “seize. - ’ Lagrippe is French, and according to the dictionary it simply means the “influenza, - ’ or “cold in the hpad,” and is prououm -d “Jabgreep,” if “grip” is nut good tiiough. it generally gets tneie by any name.

- • .Y ' ; —- It is believed now the Chilian trouble will be peacefully settled. It is said that Amos Lawsan, of Anderson, this state, licked his wife because she had the. grip. What next? Mad dog scares are all the rage now, and the town that can’t furnish a good, big rat’d dog sensation is in disgrace. i Senator T. E. Howard, of South Bend, is being favorably mentioned as a candidate for Supreme Judge, sth judicial district. Geo. Howell, of Muncie, who began eating dogs for the cure of consumption, and of Vvhom we spoke last week, is dead'.—Milford Mail. No wonder. The Indianapolis Sun says its state column is a puddin’ for the country papers throughout the state. The country papers are also a puddin’ for the Sun's state column. Bristol has a first-class mad-dog I sensation. This gives her a decided; advantage over some of her sister 1 towns that are compelled to plod along ■ without having anything of the kind.' The reunion of the 20th regiment will be held ot Milford next April. The citizens of that place have already commenced making preparations looking to the comfort and hospitable welcome of the old veterans during their stay there. Henry Barnhart, editor of the Rochester Sentinel, has been selected a member of the democratic state central committee. Mr. Barnhart is a good editor, a faithful worker for his party and fully merited this recognition. The town board and the fire department of Mishawaka recently got into a little trouble which finally resulted in all three of the volunteer lire companies of that place handing in their resignation. The situation is by no means a pleasant one for Mishawaka to contemplate, and the affair ought to be settled at once. Bremen voted for water-works Jan. 12. 212 votes were polled, there being ■ but 69 against the building of wgter me^ffl^rrnquißwafter the election contained the cut of a rooster of startling dimensions, which occupied nearly the whole side of the paper. The Enquirer’s big rooster can I afford to crow long and loud. We are informed that the sure thing collection agency is being formed is to ! include Elkhart, Goshen, South Bend and Mishawaka. The plan of the association is to send collectors out with bills as is usual. These collectors will be trained particularly to be al-i ways courteous. Failing to make j the collection they will soon call again, i If the collection proves to be an obsti-' nate one, the colector will be dressed : in a green suit*and sent to the place j several times a day until he is killed ' or the debt paid. It is believed by the

projectors of this new plan that it will work successfully. It looks to us as if the debtor would either pay, move out of town or kill the man with the green suit on.—Elkhart Review. I The above scheme pi a y work : ati 5 factorily in some places, but it would require something more than that to induce certain people in this community to pay their debts. They are absol u tely in vain - Table. The New York Herald prints an interesting sketch of the life of Mr. Robert Bonner as taken down from his own lips. Mr. Bonner is one of the most successful men in the country, and one of the best men. It is interesting to know that he attributes his success almost entirely to liberal advertising. He says “it is not enough to keep good wares; the world must know that you have them.” This was the principle upon which the founder I of the Ledger began and continued his business career. It was not enough to make an attractive, interesting paper. It was necessary to let the public know it. This Mr. Bonner set out to do “with a liberality equaled only by his ingenuity.” He was the first man in 1 the country to buy an entire page of a ! newspaper for an advertisement. He I says: When I began to advertise one page some people w< Id say: “Oh, that is throwing money away!” Others, ■ again, would say: “Oh, he knows : ; what he is about.” When I advertised ■ ■ two pages some of my acquaintances would shake their heads gravely. When I advertised four pages in some ■, of the dailies my friends were inclined ,to give me up. Finally, when I took I the whole Herald (for it was an eight■l pagt sheet at that i ime) people thought ■ I dad become daft sure enough.—lnj dianopolis Sentinel.

NEW YORK SLANG. The girl in the sky-blue dress had a pain in her back, and she wanted to go home, but the manager wouldu t let her off. “I think he’s sore on me ever since I gave him llm throw down about him taking me home the other night,” she said to the girl with the short hair. “\\ hat do you care, so long as he ! don’t put you out in the street before| Christmas?” “Oh, I ain’t stuck on the job, but ' there’s nothin' like doing somethin’. You know Sheeny Annie, the new girl with a flat band?” “Yes, but I ain’t speakin’ to her yet. She wears a fake diamond and puts up to be too good for the earth.” “I think sho knocks down on the ' checks. A regular Motzah camo in I yesterday and kept his jaws agoin’ for i half an hour and he got out with a 15 cent check. ” “Didn’t she used to work in a dairy?” “1 don’t know. But Latie said «be saw her going over the bridge last night with a dude.” “Here conies that jay that kickef because I spilt maple syrup on his I whiskers when he ordered a plate of wheats on Monday. Cheese it, the I fresh manager is looking.” “Let him look, I’m as good as he is.” “Say, sis,” said the man with the whiskers, “give me a plate of wheat cakes, well browned, a cup of coffee I and a smile.” “Don’t get gay, see?” “ Well, I ain't very gay. But I’ve got a couple of front scats for the show to-

night, and I thought maybe you’d like to go. ” “I wouldn’t be in the same town with you if I could help it.” “That’s all right. I’m pretty smooth people if you are ouly on to the fact.” j “ Well I’m a lady. Brown the wheats, : coffee, little milk. ? And the rush went on.—New York Herald. MISSIXC? LINKS. The latest invention for detecting} forgeries has been made by Dr. Jese- i rich. By a photographic method of his own he can delect different inks on | a document.

Ibe constantly reiterated statement j that the Republican convention at Minneapolis will be the first ever held west of the Mississippi loses it force when it is understood that the Exposii t?qn building, where the convention i will be held, is on the east side of the , river.

Presidept Harrison is a great nodes- I triau. There is scarcely a street in Washington that he has not included in his strolls. His favorite plan, however, is said to be to go into the country in a carriage or the White House mail-wagon and have the driver set him down. Then he tramps to his heart’s content. In Juneau City, Alaska, there are two Presbyterian elurches. One is called the Northern Light Presbyterian i Church, and is under the care of Rev. । Mr. King, and is meant lor the white l residents of the mining camp. The [ other is the Thlingket Church, and is for the ingathering of the natives and their instruction. Anybody who has serious business with the Austrian Emperor may see! him and speak with him quite alon*, without even a secretary being present. } The applicant, whatever may be his ! station, is ushered into a study and finds the Emperor in a plain uniform ! without a single decoration. He may j say what he likes, sure of being hearkened to with patient attention. Dr. Bovle, a most eccentric character of Essex county,Ontario, is dead. He was eighty-seven years of age. Dr. Boyle made a great deal of money during the Civil War by handling patent medicines, having an office in New York. One of his chief peculiar- I ities was to appear upon the streets in old Continental dress, with kuieker- : bockers and cocked hat. He was thus | ; attired up to the time of his death. Inter-State Commerce Commissioner I Veazey, who was lately Commander-! in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and who. before that, w:.s on the Supreme bench in Yermont. i has a sturdy frame and is a hard worker, about all the relaxation he al- | lows himself being an occasional attendance at a football game, for whicH sport be contracted an enduring fond- } ness in his college days at old Dartmouth.

Dr. Mitsoherlich, a German, has found a sluff that may supersede wool and cotton for fabrics. Thin boards, with the knots taken out, are treated with a solution of sulphuric acid in a hollow boiler. Not only the hard matter, which is the cause of the briltle- । ness of wood libers, is eliminated by } this treatment, but Hie liber itself is I chemically transformed. It isbleache ', and becomes silky as well as strong aqd elastic. It is then treated in the same manner as any other goods, that is, combed, spun and iinnlly woven into stulls of exceeding lincnpss and ; different varieties. The Petrilbml Horest of Arizona. 1 From the Atlantic and Pacific Rail- 1 | road it is not hard to reach one of the ; greatest of natural curiosities—the j i petrilied forest of Arizona. Much the } } nearest point is the little station of ' Billings, but there are the scantiest i i accommodations for the traveler. Only ! a mile south of the track,nt that point. : one may gee a low, dark ridge, marked ^u^A-iree. Walkl can walk clear across on their backs! ’) । one soon reaches the northern edge of the forest, which covers hundreds of square miles. Unless yog are more hardened to wonderful sights than I am, you will almost fancy yourself in some enchanted spot. You seem to stand on the glass of a gigantic kalei-. dospope, over whose sparkling surface the suu breaks in infinite rainbows. i r ou are ankle-deep in such chips as I’ll warrant you never saw from any other woodpile. What do you think of chips from trees that are red mossagate, and amethyst, and smoky topaz, and agate of every hue? Such arc the marvelous splinters that cover ' the ground for miles here, around the ' huge prostrate trunks- s 'me of them live feet through—from wldclt Time’s patient ax has hr.vn them. I broke a } specimen from the heart of a tree there, years ago. which ha 1 around : the slone pith a remarked. । array of large and exqu; ile cry t *; for on one side of the sp"eim<m —which is not so large as my him! —is a beautiful mass of crystals of royal purple ametbyst, and on the oilier, : i cqt, illy beautiful array of smoky topaz crys- ■ tals. One can get also magnificent } cross-sections of a whole trunk, so } thin as to be portable, and showing } every vein and “year-ring,” and even । the bark. There is not a chip in all those miles which is not worthy a place, just as it is, in the proudest cabinet; and, when polished, I know no other rock so splendid. It is one of the hardest stones in the world, and takes and keeps an incomparable polish.— Charles F. Luramis, in St. Nicha olas. Advertise in the IxmmimimxT. CONSUMPTION CURED.
