—1 The republican national convention < will be held June 7 at Minneapolis and 1 the democratic national convention at i Chicago June 21." The long-lookqd for fight between Jackson and Slavin, the heavy-weights, took place in London, Eng., last Mon-' day night. AfterA hard-fought battle of ten rounds Jackson came off victorious, but it was Slavin work.

Rev. Gilbert De La Matyr, a former congressman from this state, died at 'Akron, Ohio, last week. He was a man of considc ..ble ability. He delivered a speech in behalf of the greenback party in Walkerton about twelve years ago; An Atlanta, Ga., druggist has inverted a bottle that will prevent druggists from making mistakes in filling prescriptions. It has a stopper which is covered with sharp points that will prick the hand of the person handling it if he is not careful. The idea is to put all poisons in such bottles. The Goshen Democrat has just passed its 55th year, its present editor, Bro. Beane, lias been connected with the office in different capacities for about forty years. Where is there another editor in the state of Indiana whO has spent so long a time on one pa',•er? This is rather a remarkable recprd. Gen. Packard says that most of the great commanders in the war for the Union died at a comparatively early age. General Grant died at the age of p 3; Geneal Logan at the age of 63; General U^ncock, 61; General McClellan,6o; General Halleck, 59; General George G. Meade, 57; Geo. 11. Thomas, 54; Admiral Farragut, 59; Gen. Philip 11. Sheridan, 54. General William T. Sherman proved a rare exception. Dr. Adametz, the great Swiss scholar, has found that a single gramme of fresh Emmenthaler cheese contains not less than 90,000 microbes. In a gramme of the rind of the same cheese he found 2,000,000 inhabitants. Thus may be seen that a peice of cheese of less than a pound weight may contain more living, moving, breathing

That Valparaiso correspondent of the Baron Munchausen build has again been drawing heavily upon his imagination. This genius sent a special to the Chicago papers a few days since to the effect that Rev. AV. F. Pettit, who is a prisoner in the Northern penitentiary, was in a dying condition. The Michi gan City Dispatch says the special was a fake and that Pettit is in the best of health and is working in the shop every day. The Kendallville News of last week gave a write-up of the principal manufacturing industries of that place. The edition numbered 2,500 copies and was well illustrated, showing among other establishments the immense plant of the Flint & Availing Mfg. C 0.,! manufacturers of the Star wind mill. Kendallville is well represented with 1 manufacturing industries which insures the town a sure foundation for its present and future prosperity. Here is a goo fl one from an exchange: I A man in Chicago recently ordered a ; pair of trousers from his tailor.' On trying them on they proved to be several inches too long. It being late on Satuiday night the tailor’s shop was > closed and the man took the trousers to his wife, and asked her tc cut and hem them over. The good lady, whose ; dinner had perhaps disagreed with her, brusquely refused. The same result', followed on application to the wife's 1 sister and the eldest daughter. But before bed time the wife relentingly took her husband’s trousers, and cutting off three inches from the legs, hemmed them nicely and restored them to the wardrobe. Half an hour lately the daughter full of compunction for I her unfilial conduct took the trousers i and cut off three inches, hemmed and ' 1 ieplaced them. Finally the sister-in- ■ 1 law felt pangs of co science and jh 1 ’ too peifonned an additional surgical | £ operation on the garment. AVhen the j 1 man appeared at breakfast on Sunday. I c the family thought a Highland chief J had arrived. | < — — . ’ ] Dr. Kilmer, of South Bend, Ind. * pays especial attention to all i ;iuds J t surgery and female complaints. i t

TEEG ARDEN. Wm. Brown has purchased a new engine and separator preparatory for threshing. Mrs. Adda Thompson, wife of Davpl Thompson, died In 'Chicago, May 26, where she had gone to receive surgical treatment, having been in ill health I for some years. The remains were

brought back to the home of her mother near this place. The funeral was held at the Center church Sunday, Rev. Hilderbrand conducting the funeral services. Her age was about 34 years. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her Joss. Rev. Mattox conducted the funeral services of Smith Davis instead of Rev. Strang. We bad been misinformed. A small sized cyclone passed west of

this place Monday, doing considerable of damage. Miss Cora Barber and Jennie Johnson came very nearly blowing away in said cyclone but were

luckily saved by the heroic assistance of Robert Hollyday. Why net subscribe for the Independent/' No minors allowed in the saloon . farmers badly discouraged on planting corn. Our saloon was closed on Decoration day for the first time. H. W. Ford has tilo on Land now as he has burned one kiln. Our now saloon man allows no mi- ' nors in the saloon. Several of the boys have been quite lonsomo for a few ■ days. 1 The rainy weather is against the Forsyth Eros, as they have more car penter work contracted than they can 1 finish before harvest. ■ Joe passed off to our new’ saloon keeper as being 21, but bis father informed the bartender that Josie was , not quite 21. . The oats that wore sowed before the . heavy rains Saturday are all drowned j out. The farmers think of planting , the ground to corn if it quits raining long enough. [ Dr. Arlington was in Teegarden Sunday holding council with Dr. Neville , over little Hattie Barber who has been very sick y/itlj erysipelas and catarrhal fever for the past three weeks. F. L.

I The birthday surprise party of Addison Snell, of AVanatah, and Mrs. Addie. ' Pollock, of the Island, was celebrated last Tuesday evening by about forty of I their friends at the residence of Mr. AVm. Pollock, it being their 27th birthday anniversary. The evening was spent in social games. At the hour of 12 a bountiful supper was freely partaken of. Before the party left for home Mr. Geo. Harmison in a fewbrief words presented to the twins a ■ nice set of silver table and teaspoons as j a token of their friendship, to which Addison and Addie responded. The guests left at a late hour .wishing them many happy birthdays to come. ' Dock. FELL DEAD. These words are very familiar to our leaders 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. These symptoms mean heert disease. The most reliable remedy is Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, which has ! saved thousands of lives. Book of i testimonials free at J. Endly’s who I sells Dr. Miles’ New Heart Qure.

A TIP TO AN EYE OPENER(STRANGER ‘‘Hello, Farmer. FARMER Hello, Stranger. S I BANGUI A\ here do you buy vour cloihmg ■ FARMER -At the Globe. STRANGER AVhy not buy elsewhere? FARMER—It is this. They have a new stock throughout. No old or shelfworn goods. New goods wear longer than dd ones and they have prices down “pat”—haven’t bought clothing as good fitting and well made as cheap for ’ years. They have reduce d the price of clothing at Walkerton bevond a doubt. They merit my patronage and they get it. X also find them reliable, honest and square dealing. Their advertised (Douglas) shoes I like, for if they wear for only half as long as they should for the price pai l. 1 get them for half price. Dull pay for what wear they give me, virtually lam out nothing. This, to mv sorrow, I cannot say of other makes. I pay ne jobbers’ profit, nor his heavy expenses incurred in such business wh-n I buy this shoo. They arc the beat shoe 1 can buy for the money, but, however, they have a full line of other shoes as well. They are a cash buying firm, a feature that should not be overlooked I Cash goes everywhere, so their'purchasing field is unlimited. They watch it ( closely and if quantity cuts any figure iu the it al value of goods in consideration : they take quantity. They are not at all bashful in this respect. They are ever |on the alert to furnish the best goods for the least money. And then thev tell | me if they bought goods on time { which they don't do) it would cost them not less than 18 per cent interest per year, which I would have to pay on the amount invested in my purchases. That is too much interest for me to pay. Can't afford it, yet many do. Figures won’t ke. They are very low on prices—haven't known them to be undersold yet, and they tell me that they have just commenced. Prices will be still lower—the lowest. Trade is so good that they will make prices still lower and. then make enough to fully satisfy them. This, I believe, is no blow, for 1 have always found them to be reliable. Another thing I have noticed. Those who trade there once trade there again. They like cash for goods, which is no bad feature, I assure you. It enables them to sell cheap —that I like. Then again they have no losses resulting from bad accounts to make up from the profit of my purchases. I don’t like to pay for other people’s clothing—not in that way. Fay as you Go gets rich. Buy on Time becomes poor. They fully recognize the fact that One Price'to all'is the basis of confidence. AVhat I save on purchases at such a store amounts to about 20 cents on the dollar and that is what I need these hard times. AVhen you reach town look for The Sisrn of The Globe.
