Sit&tpen&cnL WALKERTON. INDIANA, March 5, 1892. W- A. EN'DLEY, Editor. The citizens of Bristol will organize gn improvement association, sqys the Banner. The supreme court of the United (States has affirmed the validity of the McKinley tariff bill. A match is a trilling thing, but there js enough of them manufactured in the United States to amount to $12,000,000 annually. The United States and Japan arc on the most friendly terms —so much so, in fact, that we manage to get seventy per cent of the commerce of the land of the Mikado. The street car trouble in Indianapolis has furnished the newspapers of that city a rare opportunity to sail into each other, and they have improved each shining hour. Some of *their Articles make rather funny reading. Marshall McCarty put down new walks across the alleys on the north pide of Seventh street, this week, preparatory to the laying of the new side walk which the town board has ordained to be built along that side ol the street. Large republican gains are reported everywhere in the charter elections in New’ York state, Hill’s friends and admirers are greatly surprised at the result of the elections, and can not understand the cause of the almost universal democratic losses. It is rumored that Senator David B. Hill is to be married. It is to be hoped that the report will prove true, and that David has finally come to the conclusion that he is no longer a frisky young man, but is old enough to get married, settle down and become domestic. The street car troubles in Indianapolis are about at an end, and the cars are running again. The sympathy of the public has been prin i pally

Wth the throughout the Strike cal system under which they had been working. Ilx-l’veai^exxt Cleveland is receiving many words of praise from tire press upon his address recently delivered to the law class of Ann Arbor university. It was a scholarly, profound and patriotic effort, and worthy of a man who has filled the exalted position of president of the United States. It is said that the people’s party will nominate Judge Gresham as its canditate for the presidency. Judge Gresham is a republican, and is not the sort of man to run for office on a | platform that does not consist with his J principles. The idea of Judge Gresham allowing himself to be'drawn into any such performance as the above, is simply out of the question, J he Indiana Dairy Association urges

the farmers of Indiana to give the • dairy question more attention. The I association believes that there is greater profit in the dairy business than there is in any other branch of farming. The association can see no reason why our state, so favorably situated and ! possessing all the natural advantages, j can not lead in butter and cheese as well as she does in other products of the farm, * For the last five years, all applicants or teacher’s license have been required to present to the County Superintendent on the morning of the day for examination a review of one of a certain number of books. The State Board of Education has rescinded this order and । substituted an examination on acer- ' tain book. Beginning with next Sat-' ■ urday teachers will be required to I

answer questions based oil “David Copperfield.” For the six months following, the questions will be on “The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,” bv Holmes.—South Bend Times. It is said that a movement is quietly on foot in Washington and New York in favor of Jerry Rusk as a candidate for the presidency. Should the ! presidential nomination perchance • light upon Jerry’s head he would no doubt give the opposition an interesting tight. He possesses 1 many elements of strength which would serve him well in race for the presidency. It is argued that he, being part of this administration would, if nominated, command all the strength Harrison could get, and in addition, would appeal strongly to the |' formers’ vote, 1।

People sometimes wonder whycoun- I try papers can't be published at the j same subscription price of city papers, j, Why such a thing is impracticable is : shown by the following article from the Rochester Republican; Since the first of January several persons have called at this office to subscribe, but did not do so because we would not accept the former price—one dollar per year. We published Th^ Republican for five years at one dollar per year and about starved out at it, and so we resolved that inasmuch as there.is not another county paper in Indiana published at one dollar, and many of them are two dollars, we would go back to the old price of sl.50. Whenever yon can get a pair of home-made boots, at the price of ready-made boots, or a tailor-made suit of clothes as cheap as you can buy ••hand-me downs,” we will continue to work for nothing and board ourselves, Study and Health. A writer in Truth says: There is no doubt that the culture of the mind is helpful in continuing the youthful face. It may net be under all circumstances, but in the majority of cases it will have a tendency toward freshness, the enjoyment of life enlarged, and the growth of soul and body together. In the opinion of a learned writer on physical economy the culture of the mind does not mean a routine of books or close study, making life know nothing but what is found in books. It means the enjoyment of study, the thorough assimilation of whatever comes up in life throughout the exist- > I ence. If one were simply to sit down 1 1 and study books, and not go out and I study nature and breathe the air with ‘ the full enjoyment and satisfaction of • having it to breathe, there might be ■ another phase of the case to present. There is the condition of mind which enjoys itself, which is if such exist- . ence that it is always wide awake, full of life, and so content that it is always young. This kind of mind can be acquired if one has the misfortune to be t without it. Study to become cheerful, whatever may surround you, and you will be well on the road to good health. The body takes after the mind, and - the mind is influenced by what is put J before it. Let this be healthful, some - thing that will build it up. and the efr sects on the body will well repay all

' the trouble. for Good RoadsI institute nt South I hart Review, Clem Studebaker nAI vauccd u good many Hound rcasuun why laimm.s> should unite their energies > and counsels to secure good roads. Ue makes a summary of the laws on the subject that are in operation in this j state. By an act of 1885 township trustees, with ' onsent of the commissioners of Jie county, may make a tax levy for road purposes not to exceed 30 cents on each SIOO of assessed valuation of property, with authority to impose an additional 10 cents on each SIOO, to be added to the tax duplicate . if recommended by the county commissioners, this additional assessment to be applied in the construction of bridges, culverts, road grading, graveling, etc. There is a further addition to the fund, of road commutation at the i rate of $1.25 per day between the ages 21 and 50. The foregoing sources as-

: ford the usual means in money or labor J for the construction and maintenance of the public highway in the county. Property owners along a highway may, however, on petition to the county commissioners, JJake steps for the more considerable improvement of stub highway, the means for which may be I obtained by the county commissioners through the sale of county bonds drawing 0 per cent interest, the payment for which under stipulations expressed in the statute, must be made through the medium of assessments upon the property benefited, not exceeding a distance from the improvement of two miles, within a period of ten years from the time the bonds are issued, these bonds, however, not to exceed 14 per centum of the taxable property in the county. There is also a provision enabling incorporated towns and cities to vote aid for the im-

I provement of a highway of this nature terminating in the incorporated town ■ or city, not to exceed one fifth of she cost of said improvement. local Men’s heavy boots, cost $3.25, retail price $4, price to close, as per ad, $2 i cash ' T.

In speaking of J. B. Stoll s libel suit against the Lagrange Democrat, the. | Register says: “Quite a sensation prevailed in the city on Friday evening of last week, when the information spread I rapidly along the streets, and was dis-1 cussed in all the business houses, that' D. A. Fawcett, editor of the Democrat, ; had just been arrested by Sheriff Spearow, on a warrant charging criminal libel, but had been releas lon giv- [ ing bond for SIOO, with Wm. 8. Smith as sirrity. The complaining witness is John B. Stoll, editor of the South Bend Times, The alleged libel complained was an article in the Lagrange Democrat of February fifth, in which the writer used language derogatory to the character of Mr. Stoll, among which were charges that he had received large sums of money from the democratic state central committee for political

services. J. D. Ferrall is counsel for Mr. Stoll, and O. L. Ballou and Lowry ( and Hanan will defend Mr. Fawcett. Jt is a democratic quarrel of which we , know nothing of its merits, and will be ' simply an interested spectator.” Mr. Stoll, in referring to an item in the f - 1 . —

Elkhart IL uew, in reference to the suit ■ being instituted, says: The case will not be abandoned; action has been delayed solely iu consequence of importunities on the part of the defendant to afford him an opportunity to make ' some sort of retraction. Every allegaj tion published by D. A. Eawcett being grossly false and scandalously libelous, there is no alternative but that of teaching the offender that vile slander is a crime and that there is such a thing as forbearance ceasing to be a virtue.
