.7^,. — — CHILLAS, ADLER & COBLE. 127 South Michigan St. SOUTH BEND, IND. The Leaders of Low Prices. 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 County, deceased. Said Estate is supposed to be solvent. SILAS GEORGE, Administrator. Anderson & DuShane, Atty’s for Adm r. January 14, 1892. For Sale at a Bargain. Having sold my saloon I want to sell

a good span of mules, three years old, 1 black mooley bull, 11 thoroughbred sows and pigs, and 35 acres of land, all cleared, with 5 fish ponds stocked with carp; come and see me or address, A. D. Johnson, Tyner City, Ind. Fort Wayne has a dancing club

called the “Awkward Seven.” The club is said to be appropriately named. Chili having withdrawn that offensive note, the Chicago Herald has abandoned its war-like intentions and will not march on Valparaiso. Luther Benson, the famous temperance lecturer, recently delivered a lecture on his favorite subject, im-

mediately after which he went and got on a heavy jag. He has been taken to the Plainfield institute for the bichloride of gold treatment. A drunkard once a drunkard always, is the case perhaps in the majority of instances. The Enquirer recently published a complete list of tax payers of Bremen, giving the amount of taxes paid opposite each name. The Enquirer says that the biggest kickers against the building of water-works were among those who paid the least taxes, one of whom only paid nine cents. A kicker and chronic grumbler is a mighty poor sort of citizen at best.

John A. Botzum, an Akron, Ohio, newspaper man, has started to walk around the world.—Butler Review. He will earn all the notoriety he gets out of it. The political atmosphere in this state is becoming decidedly Harrisonian, and the indications point strongly to the probability of the Indiana delegaI tion to the Minneapolis convention being solid for Harrison. The strained relations between the United States and Chili are being amicably adjusted, and the world has been spared from witnessing the ridicI ulous and disgraceful spectacle of a war between a nation of sixty-five I milions of people and a little government of about three million population. Some one signing himself “Farmer” in a recent issue of the LaPorte Argus pitched into the Michigan City Disr patch because that paper has been adversely criticising the board of commissioners of LaPorte county. Bro. Faulknor responds with an article of about a column’s length in which he • handles “Farmer” without gloves, and it is evident from the tone of his arr tide that he intends to keep right on J publishing the Dispatch in defiance of J “Farmer” or anybody else. The Elkhart Review says that “the practice of coining words indulged by by some rural newspapers is very objectionable to those who desire to see the language purified. Many of these newly coined words are adopted by the readers of the papers and become current. “Sundayed” has become a word of common use, “enthused” has been engrafted on the mother tongue, both of them objectionable for many reasons. It is unfortunate for the purity of the common speech that newspapers will indulge in this practice. The results are worse than the effects to slang, because there is a measure of authority with every use of a word by a public print.” The burning of the Surgical Institute at Indianapolis was one of the most apalling calamities that ever occurred in the state. Eighteen lives were lost, all being invalids who were there for treatment. The fate of these people can be attributed to criminal negligence, as the building was an old fire trap, the owner of which was abundantly able to build a better and safer one, he being one of the wealthiest men in Indianapolis. But greed, it

kaegms- had taken possession or his I i Flfifteen' lives and countless tears pay | the forfeit of one man’s greed for gold. | Plymouth has followed Bremen’s lead and organized a business men’s association. It will be found to be a good thing for the town if rightly handled. —Bremen Enquirer. Os course it will. Bremen has been benefitted by its improvement association, and the same is true of nearly every town and city that has an association of the kind. Without organized effort it is slow work to secure new industries and advance the interests of a town as they should be. Walkerton, with excellent natural advantages, and doing a large volume of business in the way of trade, is woefully lacking in manufacturing industries. Why? Because there has been no organized, determined effort on the part of our citizens to secure them. Let us, by all means, have an improvement association and factories will follow. Recently the Independent men-

tioned the fact of coal being found near Bristol, Elkhart county. Specimens of the coal were sent to the state geoligist for examination, who, in acknowledging the receipt of the same, says: “The samples are a fair quality of coal, but if found in Elkhart county,

they were placed at the spot where found by accidental means. Elkhart county is outside of the limits of coal measures. The entire surface of the county is covered with accumulations of drift to the depth of many feet. This drift has been transported from the region further north, as supposed by geologists, by glacial action. It is composed of the disintegrated portions of rocks from various geological formations. It is no uncommon thing to . : nf

find stray pieces ot coal in portions oi drift, but there never has been and never will be found in the drift a deposit of coal where it can be obtained in commercial quantities. All efforts to find coal in available quantities in Elkhart or adjoining counties will be futile.” Shakespeare'will please excuse us if we modify him thus: Thrice is he clad who hath his system strengthened ; with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and he but . naked, though arrayed in furs, whose blood is poor or with disease corrupted. An incomparable medicine! Use Wolverine Blood Purifier and ’ Wolverine Liver Pills. Ask your druggist for them; take no other. Ihe best

THE PROVINCIAL. PRESS. Says an exchange: The publicists of the great cities are gradually dropping the weekly editions made up with matter taken from their dailies. : There is a cause for this that is , potent and cannot be gainsaid. Throughout Indiana anil the entire west there has sprung up a healthful growth of able and enterprising local weekly papers. They are bright and readable. The editor is in touch ' with all the people and his pen is in- ' spired by their needs. Many of these publishers are gifted with a high order of genius diversified and versatile. ' They reflect the true sentiment of the public and are honored for the courage of their convictions. They write more frequently from the heart than the ’ head and are therefore hated cordially ; at times for their candor. But they are indigenous to the • growth of this land and must be ac- ■ cepted as part and parcel of it. They • are the seers of this common-wealth ■ and wield a far greater influence * proportionately than the metropolitan I thunderers, so-called. The blanket sheet weeklies of the ‘ larger cities can no longer compete with the well managed provincial paper in its own orbit even at reduced . price. Experience has taught the truth of this statement to the metropolitan publishers, and they are reluctantly yielding to the inevitable and vacating the field to the victors whose wit and brain have won the day. Metropolitan journalism may continue to draw from the ranks of the rural press to make its papers the great literary feasts that they are, but it can no longer thrive in the preserves of the doughty, indomitable and able provincial weekly periodical.

A newspaper man at Jackson, Mich, is the owner of the sword carried by Ethan Allen when he demanded the surrender of Ticonderoga. It is an old fashioned looking affair, badly nicked and battered. The name of its former illustrious owner is inscribed on one of the bands of the scabbard.—Syracuse Register. In St. Joseph county there are 124 public school buildings, of which 111 are in the country, one each at Walkferton and New Carlisle, two at Mishawaka, and nine in South Bend. Thore are a total of 196 departments, of which eighty-six are in this city and towns. —South Bend Times. “In case of a brush with Chili,” said N. T. Faurote, “our people would have a task of no small magnitude before them in taking Valparaiso. I stopped there on my way to the California gold mines in the ’sos, anda more impregnable place I do not believe there exists. The large bay is lined with forts and the mountain passes back of the city could be held by a small force against countless numbers. Os course their defenses now are much superior to those of that time.”—New Carlisle Gazette. company yesterday filed a m to ho used ns Umright of I ♦ county, ma. xma BUywsii><a
