t The Ghost Fish ot the Knnktikeg. Last summer the fish did not bite very well in the Kankakee river, on account of the water being low, says 1 the Indianapolis Sun. They did not seem to have an appetite for the fine • minnows which were offered them, but, nevertheless, some good-sized fish were taken. One evening, after a . very warm day, two fishermen rowed a mile down the river from the club house. On returning the sun was just going down, sending a soft, mellow light through the trees and across the waters. The white, sandy bottom of the river bed could be plainly seen. As the boat glided silently along something white darted from a hidden nook and followed after the boat. It was a fish of some kind, but so large and white, magnified by the water, that it seemed at least five feet in length. A minnow was quickly dropped into u ater, almost directly on its nose. In an instant the fish gave a rapid turn and darted away, making the water foam with its tail. For several evenings after that a close watch was kept for the fish, but it was not seen again. A week after, in conversation with an old half-breed Indian who makes his home on tire banks of the Kankakee, winter and summer, it was learned that he had also seen tne nsn, out

never could catch it, having passed hours in the attempt. The old halfbreed is an odd character in his way and earns a living in the winter by trapping and in the summer by selling ice to the club house. He gets three cents per pound for the ice, and, like his full-blooded brethren, loves fire water. In speaking of his efforts to land the big fish he said: “Him no real fish, him ghost fish. Me try to catch fiim hard in net. He go right through net an’ get away. Me next get big hook and bait him good. He take bait and go ’way. No catch at all. Him ghost. By ’em by me get spear an’ wait for him. After while long him come an’ me stick him hard. Me throw spear right through him. He swim away foam an’ me no get him. He ghost fish. No catch no how.” • ♦ —■ For seven long years I suffered from kidney and liver complaint, and during that time doctored with a number physicians, who stated my case beyond cure. I found no remedy like SwampRoot and to-day, thank God, I am a well woman. Mrs. A. Whelchel, Olio, Ind.

The Knox Republican tells the following snake story: Sunday a blue pacer snake coiled himself upon ths side walk in front of Gus Reiss’ store and went to sleep, Several boys came along and interrupted his siesta by several well directed rocks, whereupon his snakeship sought refuge in the grate beneath the sidewalk. He was fished out with a hook and line and dispatched. He measured over four feet in length. A line repairer of the 3-1. road was jn town Tuesday and gave out that the 3-1. people would commence the extension of their line to South Bend within a month. He also intimated that Knox would in all probability be made a division. —Knox Republican. We hope the above is true, but the Independent has information from headquarters, the president of the 3-J. road, through Train Dispatcher Maynard, that the company have come to a final decision to build their extension to Goshen. When Mr. Maynard departed from Streator to come to Walkerton on a visit he asked the president what information to give the people here when asked as to the intentions of the company, and the president replied that he (Maynard) could tell the people of Walkerton that the road would be built to Goshen. The president said that he did not want to see the people misled in the matter and would give them the truth,

A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION, “I have been practicing medicine for twenty years and have never been able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regulator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, and at the same time aid (instead of weakening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the system.” L. M. Hinton, m d., Washington, Ark. Marks of Genuineness: Look forthered Trade-Mark on front of Wrapper, and the Seal and Signature of J. H.Zeiliu & Co., ia red, ou the side. Take uo other.

T. J. WOLFE. The Old and Reliable tIOWOFF" 1 Twenty-One Years Experience m Buying enables him to buy goods so as to sell them at prices small buyers will pay for same goods. We usually carry a heavy stock of ‘ J CLOTHING, HATS, CAPS, Boots, Shoes, etc. But our Stock this Spring is between $3,000 AND $4,000 larger than ever before. Our Motto is, not only, “How or Where to get Good Goods in the Latest Styles,” but also “How to get the Lowest Prices on Same,” which we have accomplished by buying in LARGE QUANTITIES for our TWO STORES at Walkerton ami North Liberty and then WHOLESALING some to small buyers who claim THEY can buy of us CHEAPER than they can buy in the cities. We have about $4,000 worth ui goods we bought at w xvr wvuv v* JtTICeS, which we will sell at less than ths Cloth is worth in the xxmi. Look at some of our prices: Men's Heavy Suits for s3—not a bait, for I make 20 per cent on them. Beys' Knee Pant Suits for sl. Men's Cotton Pants, well made, and cut to fit, 75 cents. Men's Heavy half wool pants, St .50. Men's all wool pants, nice styles, 2.50. Men's Heavy working shirts, 25 cents. The best overalls in town for 75 cents. We have more men's and boys' BOOTS AND SHOES

than any other two stores in town, and the Lowest Prices for Good Goods. We do not buy Boots and Shoes that are advertised at the Expense of the consumer, but have our customers advertise them for us. After they get Good Wearing Goods at low prices they tell it to their neighbors and friends, which is all the goods need to be advertised. We sell a genuine calfskin, solid shoe at $2.50 to $2.75, and warrant every pair of them. We have received durfng March and April 150 Dozen Hats of the latest styles, and which we are selling at remarkably low prices, having bought them in full cases (3 to 10 dozen of a kind.) We have handled Trunks and Valises From all the leading western factories, and find Eggeman, Duguid & Co., of Toledo, 0., make the Best Goods, (but not the cheapest). But as we always want to sell our customers the best, we handle only their make. We always keep a full stock of the latest styles in Gents’ Furnishing Goods, and sell them at the lowest prices. If you seo our goods before you buy you will buy of us. We are not a cash firm, as we are glad to be able to accommodate good, responsible parties, and to such we are will'ij to give credit when they need it. Please call and see us, either at Walkerton or Korth Liberty. T. J. Wolfe.
