[ * Following this was the base ball I game between* the Walkerton and Plymouth clubs, which took place on the L. E. & W. grounds on the east side of the railroad. The game was quite interesting, and was watched attentively by an immense crowd. The score was 17 to 13, in favor of Walkerton. Jn the evening the fireworks display took place from the roof of the FryPaugherty block, and for about an hour the atmosphere was brilliant with the phyrotechnic display. While the exhibition of fireworks seemed to be passing along quite 9 smoothly to the people in the streets beneath, there was, in fact, quite a scene being enacted on the roof of the F^y-Daugherty building. A devilcatcher took after Frank Fry, who was helping the boys shoot off the fireworks, and after chasing him all over the roof finally rup him down, and it was only after quite a fight that Frank subdued the fiery little demon. After the fireworks a fine dance was held in Bender’s opera hall which was well attended. While the program of the day was not up to the standard that the committee had arranged for, having been disappointed in some respects, for which they were not to blame, yet the day was quite a pleasant one, and it is to be hoped satisfactory to the citizens pf Walkerton and the throngs of visitors who honored this place with their presence on the occasion of the one hundred and sixteenth anniversary of the independence of the United States of America. FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED. A large manufacturer, whose affairs ha become very much embarrassed, and who was overworked aad overworried, went to p. celebrated specialist, broken down with pervous exhaustion. He was told that the only thing he needed was to be relieved from care and worry, and have a change of thought. This doctor was more con siderate of his patient’s needs than of his financial circumstances. He ought to have advised him to use Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, the best remedy for nervous prostration, sleeplessness, dizziness, headache, ill effects of spirits, tobacco, coffee, opium, etc. Thousands testify to cures.

To satisfy Hay & Koch he gave them what purported to be a draft on Chicago bank for a thousand dollars, telling Hay that he would pay him at the rave of $5 a day until his return, that he had other parties whom he wished to arrest. Ruger was kept a prisoner in the room for four days in the hotel, when it dawned on the deputies that they might be fooled and it occurred to them that it might be well to investigate the fellow’s claim as a United States officer. By this time the fellow had gotten away and no trace could be found of hjm. Ruger believing there was a disgrace attached to the matter desired to keep it as quiet as possible and therefore took no actions toward a warrant for the fellow’s arrest,but friends learning of the matter at this place commenced suit against the deputies, Hay and Koch, for false imprisonment with the probabilities of making it decidedly expensive for them, and it was not until after the telegram was received from Sbeatsley that the writer hunted Ruger up and insisted upon his going to Milwaukee and taking out a warrant for the fellows arrest. This was done Monday morning and I hardly dared telegraph you on Sunday evening, as I should have dope, to arrest the man and hold him Until an officer could get there with a requisition for him. The whole trouble lay in the fact that the Democratic convention in Chicago and that the county attorney for Milwaukee as well as our attorney here were both in Chicago doing all they could for Cleveland or themselves, the writer has never taken the pains to inquire which they worked for, but as spon as we learned that a warrant was issued we wired you to arrest on the ground of forgery, supposing of course the fellow had endorsed Ruger’s name tp the certificates. We regret exceedingly that we failed to get the scamp, although we have no interest in the case whatever, further than our friendship for Ruger. Again thanking you for your kindness, we are, Yours Respectfully, Chicago Rubber Clothing Co.”

The handsome new banner of the K. of P’s was greatly admired in the parade on the Fourth by everybody. It is made of the finest material, and the workmanship attests the taste and skill of Mrs. H. S.

Plymouth sued the electric light company for failing to comply with agreement and Avon the suit. The Macy Monitor completed its seventh volume last week, and the editor says the paper enters upon its eighth year better prepared for the battle of life than ever before. The Monitor has been of great benefit to Macy in a material way, to say nothing of the great work it is doing for the moral and spiritual welfare of that complicity. Dave Petrie handed us a copy of the Times, published at Watseka, 111., where he is located, which contains an account of a fatal accident to a little girl named Bernice Johnson, of that place. Bernice was riding her Shetland pony and when near the railroad track the pony became frightened at the train and shied, throwing her off in front of the engine which caught her and the pony dragging them quite a distance, A man saw the child’s perilous situation and endeavored to rescue her, but just before he reached her she was drawn under the wheels and fatally mangled. The engine was stopped as soon as possible and the poor little victim was picked up and carried to the house where she died the next morning. The pony died shortly after the accident. The child’s parents Avere both away from home, the mother in Chicago and the father thousands of miles away, he having gone to Australia on business. The mother was telegraphed for but could pot reach home until after the child was dead. Bernice was nine years old, and the idol of her parents and a favorite with everybody in Watseka, where a pall of sorrow hovers caused by the terrible accident which crushed out the light of this sweet and innocent young life.

T. WOLFE. The Old and Reliable (WB AI WiT" T Twenty-One Years Experience in 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 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, uot 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 and North Liberty and then WHOLESALING some to small buyers who claim THEY can buy of us CHEAPER than they can buy iu the cities. We have about $4,000 worth of goods wo bought at which we will sell at less than the Cloth is ’ Look at some of our prices: worth in tlie Bolt. Man’s Heavy Suits for s3—not a bait, for I matt cu per cent on inem. Beys’ Knee Pant Suits for . Men’s Cotton Pants, well made, and cut to fit, 75 cents, Men’s Heavy half wool pants, $1.50. Men’s all wool pants, nice styles, 2 .50, Men’s Heavy working shirts^ 25 cents. The best overalls in town for 75 cents, JHe have more mens 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 aa. 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 during Marchand April 160 Dozen Hats of till 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 v.e 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 see our goods before you buy you will buy of us. ll'e are not a cash firm, as we are glad to be able to ac^ commodate good, responsible parties, and to such we art willing to give credit when they need it. Please call and see us, either at Walkerton or Korth Liberty. T. J. Wolfe.
