independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. March 19, 1892. AV. A. UiNDLEY, Editor. The Porter county democrats have instructed for Mortimer Nye for governor. Gov. Horace Boies, of lowa, is strongly opposed to prohibition, although he never touches intoxicating drinks himself nor uses tobacco in any form. A woman of Fall River, Mass., was recently sent to the insane asylum. She had been manifesting a disinclination to talk, which was considered sufficient evidence of insanity.

Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois, seems to be growing in popularity as a candidate for the presidential nomination on the democratic ticket. His advanced age, however, may militate against Idm in the convention. The Valparaiso correspondent of the Indianapolis Sun says that Clem Kern is being boomed for Congress in that district. It strikes one that the democrats at Valparaiso are trying to spoil a rattling good auctioneer. Plymouth, through the energetic and systematic work of its improvement association, is being lifted out of its Rip Van Winkle slumber and is coming to the front with its sister cities. Plymouth has secured three or four valuable enterprises during the past year or so which is due solely to the efforts of its improvement association.

Mr. Fred N. Innes, the celebrated Band Master of the Municipal Band, Tammany, writes Truth that there is j no doubt but that “Cleveland is shelv- ' ed.” He says it looks now as if Flower or some western man would be the presidential democratic nominee, but Tammany prefers Hill. Mr. Innes is a shrewd politician and his forecast of the Cleveland-Hill imbroglio is worth remembering.—Elkhart Truth.

Vice-President Morton, it is stated, will not be a candidate for the vicepresidency again under any circumstances. Whitelaw Reid, our present juiaister to France, seems to be coming into promm*m ea candidate for the second - - iS***"^^ Ing to see Harrison and Reid the stand-

ard bearers of the republican party in the coming national contest. A bill is now before congress for the protection of railway employes, its object being to provide trains with such equipments as will tend to reduce the liability to accidents. The bill provides that all locomotives shall be furnished with power brakes for the driving wheels, and this is required to be done by Jan. 1, 1895, and that all freight cars shall be provided with a brake for each wheel and with trainbrake apparatus that can be worked

from the locomotive. Rumblings of future social and governmental eruptions in Europe are becoming alarmingly audible. With anarchists heaving dynamite bombs around Paris, armies oi die unemployed assembling in Hyde Park, the socialistic troubles in Germany and the nihilists in Russia, it certainly looks very much as if great troubles were in atore for a large portion of Europe. The peace and serenity of our own country becomes all the more impressive when we look upon the difficulties

and intense unrest which characterizes < many portions of the Old World. Gen. Russell A. Alger has decided to ' enter the race for the republican nom- j ination. In response to a question asked him by a reporter, recently, bearing upon this point Gen. Alger said: । “I have been until recently,” said Alger, “undecided as to whether I would enter the contest for the nomination, but in view of the expressions which have come to me from earnest Republicans throughout the country, I have concluded to enter the iield. Yon may say this for me, through The Tribune for the information of my friends, both at home and abroad.” Senator Peffer has introduced a bill in congress providing for a graduated tax on incomes, the fund thus acquired to be used for the payment of pensions

and the employment by the govern- 1 ment of idle laborers. The title of the , bill is somewhat comprehensive, and is as follows: “Creating a fund for the payment of pensions and for setting our army of idle laborers at work on extensive public improvements; for the removal of the strongest incentive to crime among the poor and to vice among the rich; for protecting the American people from the influx of undue alien competition and for other purposes. ” I

Governor McKinley has been invited to deliver the oration at the Memorial day ceremonies at Indianapolis. Judge Hess, of Plymouth, is making preparations to leave in April for Constantinople, Turkey, as consul for the United States. James B. Allen has been presented with a silver medal by the old settlers of Chicago, as being, of those now living, the first settler of Chicago, having come there in 1833 at the age of two years. The democrats of Starke county have decided, by unanimous action, to ask for the appointment of Hon. George W. Betman as a delegate to the democratic national convention to be held in Chicago next June. The democ-

racy of Starke county having never , been honored with the selection of one * of their number as delegate to a national convention believe that the ' time is now ripe when their claims to this distinction should be considered by the democrats of the Thirteenth district. Mr. Beeman is regarded as one of Starke county’s best posted lawyers, and is a democrat of life-long standing. Attorney-General Smith and Superintendent of Public Instruction Voreis have made up their minds, says the Indianapolis News, that if they have any influence, the next legislature shall pass a dog law that the people of the state can understand. At present there are four or five distinct dog laws on the statute books, and no man in the state seems to be able to interpret what they mean when interpreted together. Since the adjournment of the

last legislature the attorney-general and the superintendent have answered ' several thousand inquiries about the | dog law. Just now there is trouble । between auditors and trustees over the distribution of the dog tax fund and Attorneys reneral Smith receives from one to ten letters a day making inquiry. A colored man, Grandville T. Woods, of Cincinnati, has placed himself upon

a level with the great inventors of the » day by inventing two important new . methods of the application of electricty, one of which is the induction means of telegraphing, by use of which moving trains can be communicated with, । and the other, the method of supplying I was born of free parents ih~

and so knows nothing of slavery days. Coming to the United States in early boyhood he began life as a blacksmith from which he rose to railroad engineer, thence to ocean steamship engineer, after which he devoted himself more exclusively to the study of electricity.

FELL DEAD. These words are very familiar to our readers and not a day passes without the report of the sudden death of some prominent citizen. The explanation is “Heart Disease.” There is reason to be careful if you have any of the following symptoms: Short breath, pain in side, smothering spells, swollen ankles, asthma breathing, weak and hungry spells, tenderness in shoulder or arm, fluttering of heart, irregular pulse.

FAIL TO DO OUR DUTY. Everybodv has at times failed to do their duty towards themselves. Hundreds of lady readers suffer from sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness and female troubles. Let them follow the example of H. Hebechter, Stevens Point, Wis., who for five years suffered greatly from nervous prostration and sleeplessness, tried physicians and different medicines without success. But one bottle of Dr. Miles’ Nervine caused sound sleep every night and she is feeling like a new person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Larm City, Wyoming, who tried all other remedies, declares that after three weeks’ use of Nervine for headache, nervous prostration, etc., she was wonderfully relieved.
