Three young men, of North Liberty, while on their return home from this place Thursday evening got to running their teams pretty fast and the consequence was that one of them, Klingelsmith, fell out of the wagon and was run over by the wheels from which lie was quite badly injured. It is said that the trio had been drinking. The question of more room in the court house is thrusting itself forward at an unfavorable rate, says the South Bend Times. There is not room enough in some of the c'hces to afford perfect safety to the public records, and the enlargement or the building of

a new court house is a question that is apt to become a prominent one ere long. Hudson, in Steuben county, has high hopes of getting the shops of the new Wabash extension. The Albion New Era says: “A syndicate of St. Louis capitalists have purchased 800 acres of land at Hudson, Steuben county, and

the people of that place accept this as evidence that the Wabash shops will be located there. Possibly, however, the Wabash will do as the B. & O. did —locate their division in a swamp.” Quite a number of our citizens, who ' prefer to reside in a live, progressive town instead of a dead one, seem to be '

in favor of electric lights for "Walkerton. They appreciate the convenience and advantages that an electric plant would afford, as well as the favorable ! impression it would make for our town upon the outside world. All these things have their effect and help to 1 draw good, enterprising people to a town. If it comes to the point of a real live issue the majority of our citizens will no doubt give their encouragement and support to an electric light plant.

A young man by tho name of Horner who works at the B. & O. yards in this place was knocked down in the middle of tho track by the tender

which passed over him, he receiving quite bad injuries, though not serious, 1 as the wheels did not touch him. He has been laid up since from his injuries, out is said to be gradually improving. Here is a nice little point from the New Albany I ribune which business men who do not believe in advertising would do well to consider: “If a newspaper carried only the advertisement of one dry goods store and one grocery it would be hard to convince outsiders that it was a place of much business importance. Business men may thus unintentionally do the town as well as themselves an injury.”

When you return from the city with a bundle of goods that you could have bought just as well from home merchants, don’t you .feel a little mean? asks an exchange. -And when compared with the same article find prices about 25 per cent less, then you feel like having some one kick you. You are doing what little you can to ruin

every business in your town because we depend on one another. When you have got the cash to pay for goods don't go off to some other town to make your purchase and then expect your home merchants to “carry” you for months. Give those that accomodate you the benefit of your cash

transactions. Further when a merchant sends to the city for his printed stationery he is inviting his patrons to send away for goods that he carries, and he has no right whatever to condemn anyone for doing so. You can hear them almost every day condemning people for buying goods away from home, and you can just walk back to their desk and find printed stationery received from the city. We advocate home trade for those who patronize home.

Hardy, of this city, was iu the . office of the “Three I road,” at Kan-1 kakee, HL, a few days ago, and asked about the probabilities of the "Three I” reaching South Bend. “We expect to be in South Bend sure, by next September. ” This authority is direct from headquarters. The intention is to make a division of the 102 miles between Kankakee and South Bend.” A drunken knife grinder inflicted Walkerton with his presence the other day. He called at several houses and when told by the inmates that they had no work for him he would reply by us- ' ing insulting language. The next fellow- of this kind who comes along should have a thorough and vigorous । application of Marshal McCarty’s new and improved method for ridding the town of the tramp element. . THK GRAND PALACE HOTEL. CHICAGO For the past year an ad for the । “Grand Palace" hotel, Chicago, has been published in this pajH*r, representing that hotel to be first-class and respectable. We have recently had ' reason, however, to change our mind 1 in that respect. The Indf?endent ■ ■>Hnjurt/:n.-d 1W terms to

the agreement faithfully, but ujx>n presenting the contract, recently, the managers of the hotel refused to acknowledge it, quibbling around and giving as an excuse that the paper upon which the contract was printed ^aa not the right color! We will not waste words giving our opinion of such a low-lived establishment, but merely mention this as a warning to any of our exchanges who may be in danger of being cheated out of a year's advertising by these sharks. Smhce it to ' say, that we understand that the hotel has a bad reputation among the people

, Ot Chicago, and that the patrol wagon ' has been known to visit it on errands । that would blast the reputation of anv respectable hotel. Death of N S Nugent. The death of Nick S. Nugent, which was briefly mentioned in last week's Independent, occurred on the night of March 9, at a hotel in Milwaukee, where he stopped over night. Ue was found dead in his room on the mornof the 10th inst., his death being caused, it is supposed, by his blowing out the gas before retiring. A strange part of the affair is, that only two weeks before, a man was found dead in his bed in the same room, his death being attributed to the same cause. That room, perhaps, would bear investigation. Probably neither one blew out the gas, but their lives fell victim to a defective gas pipe. Nick was on his way to Watertown, Wis., to visit there with an uncle, when this untimely death overtook him. He uas formerly a resident of this place I

and up to a short time ago was night । operator for several months at the B. &O. His father and mother have both been dead several years. His age was about 27 years. The remains were taken to LaPorte for burial where the last ceremonies were performed last Sunday.
