The novel spectacle of holding religious services in a saloon was witnessed in Walkerton on Friday evening of last week. A band of local evangelists were granted permission to hold services at Braden’s and Quinn’s saloons, and accordingly at about 7:30 services were opened at Braden’s after the conclusion of which the evangelists proceeded to Quinn’s saloon where the services were repeated. Excellent order and the most respectful attention were shown them at both places. The saloon-keepers kindly invited the evangelists to come again and hold services at any time. A passenger train was wrecked on the L. E. & W. railroad early last Tuesday morning at Fisher, 22 miles north of Indianapolis. The wreck was caused by the wash-out of a bridge. The ■whole train was thrown off the track into the water, but no one was injured except the fireman whose leg was broken. Considerable damage was done to the cars. Our townsman, Ed Henderson, was in the wreck and it is reported that through his efforts a passenger’s life was saved. The lights in the train had all gone out and darkness prevailed. Water 1 was quite deep in the cars and a passenger who had become fastened between the seats would have drowned if Ed had not rallied to his assistance. Why Newspaper Men Don’t Get Rich. A western man says: Country editors always remain poor, but that is because they are not mean enough to get rich. In order to get rich it is only necessary to trust nobody, to befriend none, to get everything and save all you get; to stint ourselves and all belonging to us, to be friend to n,o man and have no man for a friend; to heap \ interest, cent upon cent; to be mean \and miserly and despised for some thirty’years, and riches will come as disease add disappointment. And when pretty nearly enough wealth Is collected by a disregard of the human heart, at the expense of every enjoyment save that of wallowing in filthy meanness, death comes to finish the wqrk. Country editors prefer to remain poor, live aappy and die happy. “\ “ I

"AND HE NEVER CAME BACK.” Jim O’Keefe, Ot Townsend’s barber, has left town under rather peculiar circumstances. Jim hired a rig at Wolfenbarger’s livery stable on the iporning of Decoration day with which to drive to South Bend and was to return the same evening. But he failed to come that evening and time wore on till Wednesday before any word was received in regard to the rig. On that day John Wolfenbarger was notified by a South Bend liverymen that his rig was thero, and Mr. Wolfenbarger went to the Bend the same day and brought back his rig. While there he learned that O’Keefe had gqne to Cleveland, O. There is no apparent reason for O’Keefe leaving towp ip the manner he did, as he owed pothing to speak of, and he left nearly everything he had here, including several razors, a good overcoat and other clothes. He was a quiet, pleasant young man and from appearances was straight as a string. The case is certainly an odd one. X Smalt Cyclone. On Monday afternoon about half past four o’clock, just after one of the severe showers, the trees were suddenly bent low with one cpiick gust of wind that was so soon over that many did not notice it although some few remarked that we might have a wind storm, or words to that pffect. It was so soon quiet that no pnc thought more about it until word came in that a cyclone had passed about three miles southeast of town. The path was only frqm eight to ten rods ip width and it moved in a direction from south east to northwest, passing through the timber land owned by Robert Hollyday, leveling every thing in its path. Miss Jennie Johnson and Miss Cora Barber, of Teegarden, were in an open buggy diiving home fron Walkerton when they saw moving toward them a smoky looking cloud with a npise like a heavy train of cars. One of the girls said, “If that isn’t a train coming, it’s a cyclone.” In a moment it had passed them, its path not missing them more than two rods. It moved on in its northwesterly course taking up and demolishing a barn and small buildings and doing other damage, greater or leqs, according to whatever lay in its track. Take it altogether it was a very quiet, well-behaved little cyclone. atiWglobe. New Staten Island Steam Dye Works.

McCarty, Noah Thompson. Very True. The effort of any newspaper to build up a town is practically nullified unless it is backed up by the businets men of the town. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to advertising columns, and if he fahs to find there the busiups^ pards of the merchants and professional firms, becomes to the conclusion that the editor is not appreciated, in which case it is a good place to keep clear from. No town ever grew without the active assistance of its papers. Nor can papers grow, and build up their localities without the assistane of the town. Business men should realize this and remember that in lending support to their local paper they are not only building up their own business, but are helping to support that which is steadily working for the growth of the whole town.— I’ress and Printer.

• The Three I Extension. Qur fellow-townsman, T. J. Wolfe, while in Chicago one day last week called at the headquarters of the Three I road in that city and had quite an interesting conversation with one of the head officials. In regard to the extension of the road from Knox the official said the matter was very undecided at present. President Drake was then in New York City to see about obtaining a large loan with which, ip case they decide to run the road through Plymouth to Goshen, to extend it op to Toledo. A donation of $200,000 has already been offered by the towns along the Plymouth and Goshen route, but this donation will of itself probably cut little figure towards inducing the company to build over that route, as they will not be apt to consider that defection at all unless they are able to build to Toledo. They are very favorably impressed with the Walkerton and South Bend route and the official stated that if South Bend could furnish them w’ith a suitable entrance and sufficient room for their yards the chances would be largely in favor of the road going to South Bend. But few people imagine the importance of the Three I. It is the best paying road of its size in the United States, and its business is rapidly increasing. The official stated to Mr. Wolfe that for the past three years the road had each year doubled the amount of its business over the preceding year. He said that if the road should be built to South Bend that would be the terminus for several years, at least. S. B. Davis h^ sold thp Knox Republican.

Oue Night Out, or One Day Out. Take Your Choice. Business De--1 mands it, and the People Must Have it. The popularity of “The Great Rock Island Route’’ as a Colorado line—it having long time unce taken first place as the people’s favorite between the , Lakesand the Mountains—has comi • pelted the management to increase its I present splendid service by the addition J of a train that is one night on the road 1 from Chicago to Denyer, Colorado ; Springs or Pueblo. This train will be j known as the "Rocky Moutain Limited, . ■ and will be put in service May first. , ; Leaves Chicqgo dajly at 10:45 a. M - , ar- . i riving at above cities in the afternoon I the n«xt day, earlier than any of its i competitors. Especial equipment lias 1 been built for this train, with the veiw ; of making it. a Limited in every sense of j the word, and best of all, there will be I no extra charge. The route of this ex--1 । ceedingly fast train is by the Rook Is- . ( land Short ^;ine K and a few of the large • 1 cities through which R passes, are Davenport, Des Moines, Council Bluffs, !; Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Fairbury, : Belleville, Phillipsburg, Smith Centre, ( Colby and Goodland. This makes it a , most desirable route, and particularly interesting to the traveler. Another poiut: The popularity of our diningcar service is still on the increase, and no money spared to make this service what our patrons always say,“the best,” Our "Big 5” will continue as usual, , leaving Chicago at 10 p. m., and arriving at Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo the second morning, being but one day out, and this fast and popular tram goes through Omaha. Our No. 11 will leave as heretofore at 6 P. M., arrive at Kansas City at 9.:Q0 a - M., and will reach Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo the second morning. Our Colorado service is made perfect by this new “Rocky Mountain Limited” and the “Big 5,” and gives to the traveling public two flyers daily. Manitou passengers should consult the map and time tables of our line, to fully appreciate the advantages in time saved by taking this route, when on their sunnier vacation. John Sebastian, G.
