i Y ~ @he Independent, WALKERTON, INDIANA, Fgß. 27, 1892 W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Editor Stoll, of the South DBend Times, has instituted a suit for erim{nal libel against D. A. Fawecett, editor of the LaGrange Democrat. T —— An exoha.ng;; sa{_\'s that the custom of publishing cards of thanks was improved the other day by a Kansas woman, who issued a eard of thanks to her friends who helped her get a divorce. Charles E. Hudson, of Boston, died the other day after a fast of 42 days, during whicly time he stubbornly refused to take focd or any kind of nourishment. That is what may be called a case of death from fast living. TR TESEMESERE L% T T TR Luther Benson, the 7,;?&& temiporance lecturer, is said to be going crazy. He has been taking the Keely cure for drunkenness, and now claims that it has hurt him worse than the whisky he drank. D RIS SR T . W. H. Major, formerly proprietor of the hotel in Michigan City which at present bears his name, attempted suicide by cutting his throat the other day at Greenville, S. C. At last reports it was thought he would die. Supervisors are required by a law recently gone into effect to have all hedges along public roadways trimmed down to five feet and the brush burned. The work must be completed by April ‘ 1. | Ligonier has jumped a notch higher ‘ in the world—from a town to a city. | ‘At an election held there last week to ; vote yes or no on the question of a| city government, there were 368 ballots | cast; 326 in favor of a city and 72 i against. RTR T S SRR _ From the last issuc of the Argos Reflector we glean the fact that a citi- | zen of that place came to his death re- | cently purely from dissipation. The | ~ incident furnished the text fora point- ~ ed little sermon from the editor of the

Ties are pOlll‘illg-ﬂl—t(;TV—l.l at the rate -of a hundred a day. It is said they ~ are being purchased all along the 3-1 WadeKage J edger. 1‘ - ready for business—that is, the extension of the road northward. B e SRR TR LTI | ‘ An irate individual arnied with an] axe recently went into the office of the { LaPorte Herald with the determi- { nation, no doubt, of splitting the editor’s spine. On facing the serene and undaunted countenanee of the man of ‘ the pencil, however, he changed his ‘ mind and grew calm. 1

Harrison, it would seem now, is the ‘ ~ logical candidate of the republican party for the presidency, but there’s no l telling what the outcome may be; his ‘ chances are tinctured with more or less uncertainty. A\ dark horse will semetimes turn the tidc of political affairs amazingly. ' RS, TS SRt The question: of reducing railroad fare may receive attention from the next Indiana legislature. Ohio is thinking of redicing railroad fare from three to two cents. Reduction of prices in a great many things seems to be the tendency now; three cent daily “ newspapers have dropped to two cents and letter postage from three to two cents, and why shouldn't railroad fare fall in the same line? rarpenc e James A. Arthur, of Goshen, announees himself as a candidate for ‘delegate to the national democratic ~ eonvention from the thirteenth congressional district. Mr. Arthur is said to be a thorough gentlenian and one of the foremost business men and demoerats of Elkhart county. He is receiving the hearty support of a number of the most influential democratic papers in the district for this responsible position. ——— It is now reported that the 3-I road will be extended in the spring. The route now laid down is through Plymouth and Goshen, and from thence north to the pineries. —Knox Ledger. It would seem as though the shortest and best route for the Three I would be through Walkerton, and unless unusually large inducements are offered elsewhere the company will no doubt consult their best interests by extending their road through this place. The right of way agent for the Three 1 who passed thirough here a few weeks ago seemed to have but little doubt that the road would be extended through Walkerton, and what appears strange is that they would change their mind in 80 short a time as to the route they will take,

JUDGE NOT THAT ¥Z BE NOT JUDGED. ' “Col. Robert Ingersoll is constantly robbing the flower garden of faith for ipoise with which to decorate doctrines of infidelity,” says an exchange. “He sent the following to Walt. Whitman, 'the dying poet, on Christmas day: ¢After the day the night, after the night the dawn. Yours with love and hope. R. G. INGERsSOLL. “What ‘dawn’ does Col. Ingersoll refer to? The doctrine which he has been preaching for twenty years warrants no belief in any dawn after the night of death. And the expression, ‘Yours with words of love and hope,’ is so far as hope is concerned, beyond the limit of Col. Ingersoll’s teachings. Hope belongs to the christian and the infidel has no right whatever to inculge in it. It is one of the words not included in the dictonary of infidelity.” —Warsaw Indianian.

l At first thought it might seem that i a person taking the stand on bible matters that Bob Ingersoll does, ‘would have no grounds for indulging !in the hope of a life beyond the grave. Upon maturer reflection, how--lever, the question forees itself upon one, Why hasn’t Mr. Ingersoll a right to hope, as well as the rest of his fel-low-men, for happiness after this life? He believes in a great and just God, and it is his belief in God's wisdom ;and Jjustice that causes him te doubt a | great many things in the bible. His attacks are not against the promises of the seriptures, only wherein these prom- } ises are based upon what he is pleased to call superstitions, which supersti- } tions he thinks are the outgrowth of the ; very heathenism which they supplant‘ed in the dark ages of ignorance and 'barbarism. Mr. Ingersoll bases his hope of a future upon natural evidences, which he thinks are more reliable than those contained in what he terms the man-made bible. That Mr. Ingersoll is honest in his belief, or unbelief, whichever you may please to call it, there is no doubt, as his upright, virtuous life, will testify. It is but natural for every human being to possess a hope, which hope becomes a | faith to those who can Delieve in the divine authority of the bible. ~ When the Great Day comes that the veil is | lifted and we see no longer “through a | glass darkly but face to face”—until ' that time let us judge not that we be | not judged. ! l
