A perusal of the South Bend Daily Post will mighty soon convince one of the falsity of the recent report that it had changed to a democratic paper. Kev. N. D. Williamson has been pastor of the Reformed church of South Bend for twenty years, and the event was celebrated by his congregation and friends last Sunday. The ice cream and lemonade stand conducted by the Woman’s Relief Corps in the Arlington building on the Fourth was well patronized, the proceeds being between thirty and forty dollars. Martin Hall, of LaGrange, who was •w-aonvicted last fall of poisoning Sherry Hughes, has been granted a new trial by the supreme court. H^^liin^i tn in a second trial. It was a quiet and orderly Fourth in Walkerton when the immense crowd which was in town is taken into consideration. No better order could have been seen in any city with a dozen policemen on every corner. The democratic central committee held a meeting recently at which a resolution was unanimously adopted urging Hon. B. F. Shively to accept the nomination for congress, and requesting the delegates from the county to vote for and strive to secure his nomination, The Walkerton cornet band boys can always be depended upon to cometo the front and furnish music for the town on holidays and other public occasions, and in the majority of instances without asking for or receiving any pay for their services. When they are paid anything it is generally after all other expenses are paid and they get what is left. The boys deserve more generous treatment from the town as it requires some money to maintain a band organization in the proper shape, and the members themselves cannot afford to bear continually so larpre a burden of expense. If the town desires to have the pleasures and benefits of a good band it should come down a little more liberally when pay- - ing the boys for services rendered. Bremen is without a newspaper. With last week’s issue Cal winninger announced that the Enquirer would be puspedded. The editor says that he was forced to take this step by a combination of circumstances—the main trouble being that he involved himself jn buying too good a printing outfit for the size of the town. It is too bad to see so good a paper as the Enquiber go out of existence, and it is to the discredit of Bremen that it didn’t give the paper the necessary support to keep it up. Bro. Sinninger in concluding his valedictory says: “Wanted—A job at any honorable labor, carpentry, diiching, road or farm work. Any thing at which a man can make an honorable living and pay his debts. Such jobs as clipping coupons, raking in interest on first mortgage notes, pitching horse shoes, bottoming store boves, freezing out legitimate enterprises etc. not wanted at any salary. Address the former editor of the Enquirer.”

E. L. Sanders and Dan Fitzgerald left here Friday evening on a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. They will be absent a week or so, A factory or two which will employ from fifty to one hundred hands is all that Walkerton needs to make it one of the best towns in Indiana. The brilliant evening star, Venus, has disappeared from the western sky and has changed to a mornin’g star. It is a strange coincidence that simultaneously with the disappearance of Venus the Chicago electric light, which wq,s admired by many, has passed from view. Jacob Walker, of Mishawka, became tired of life and committed suicide by hanging himself last Wednesday forenoon. He swallowed a tack, or imagined he did, about a year ago, which caused him to worry himself into a state of ill health and despondency. Osborne Miller, son of the late Dr. Martin Miller, formerly of this place, was married to Miss Edith Loughman, the daughter of ex-Mayor Loughman, of South Bend, on Thursday of last week. The marriage ceremony was performed by Gov. Ira Chase. A woman not a thousand miles from Warsaw was without doubt the most flurried female last Sunday in seven counties, when she discovered after coming out of church that her brand new hat was adorned with a tag whereon was inscribed the legend, “Reduced to $1.75.” —Goshen Democrat. The Goshen Democrat says that a young man of that place won a box gy^iSars Monday by riding a cow a large crowd of people on the streets and the feat elicited great applause. The cow finally became scared by firecrackers and the rider was thrown near Hotel Hascall.

The Independent is in receipt of the Fifty-Fourth Wear Book of DePauw university, of Greencastle, Ind. The progress which this institution has made during the past few years is remarkable. The enrollment of pupils for the past year is lOG3, an increase of 102 over the preceding year. The attendance of pupils is larger now than ever before in the history of the university. DePauw is one of our best and most progressive institutions of learning, and an honor to Indiana.

Rev. H. C. Keeley, of Storm Lake, lowa, preached at the Presbyterian church in this place Sunday morning and evening. There was a good attendance at both services and the sermons were excellent and are highly spoken of by people who were present. Rev. Keeley is a very forcible and interesting orator and carries the conviction to the hearts of his hearers of his sincerity and earnest desire to do good unto mankind. He is an evangelist of wide reputation in lowa, where he held sixty-two successful revivals in about three years, besides doing much other work in the ministry. The Presbyterian people of this place have secured Rev. Keeley as their pastor, and in addition to his charge here he will be employed by the Presbytery to do evangelistic work in many of the counties in northern Indiana. He will move his family to this place as soon as a residence can be secured. We have read many Battering notices from the press on his work as an evangelist and minister, one of which, from the Sioux City Journal, is given below: “The evangelistic services at the Second Presbyterian church are continuing with considerable interest and power. The attendance is growing from night to night; many are present who are not in the habit of attending religious services. The preaching of Rev. Horace C. Keeley, the evangelist, is impressive and holds the closest attention from beginning to end. His use of illustrations makes obscure truths seem plain. His frank, winning manner of speaking is pleasing, and quite a number have expressed a desire to lead a better life.”

Wreck of a Passenger Tram. Passenger train No. 17 on the L. E. & AV. railroad, due here at 10:50, was thrown from the track last Sunday night a few rods south of the Keystone creamery caused by a switch beingopen. Charles Robinson was at the throttle and Conductor James Patterson had charge of the train. The train was just pulling out of the station and was running at the rate of about eighteen miles an hour when the accident occurred. Had it been under full headway the consequences would have been disastrous. As it was, none of the passengers, there being about fifty on board, were injured, neither were the trainmen except the engineer, who for a rew minutes thought he was hurt, but it proved to be a mistake. The locomotive rolled over and laid sideways in the ditch, the fireman and engineer being at their posts, as the whole thing was so sudden and unexpected they didn’t have time to jump from the cab, which was badly wrecked and it was a wonder that they were not killed or seriously injured. The engine was considerably damaged, though not so much as would be supposed. The smoke-stack, cab and pilot were injured, but aside from this the engine received no damage to speak of. The express car was thrown into the ditch and the baggage, car partially so, but the passenger coaches kept the track. The cars were placed back on the track the next morning and hauled to the shops for repairs. They were but slightly damaged. The engine was hauled away Tuesday. Who opened the switch is a dark mystery; it may have been tramps, for the purpose of wrecking the train. One thing is sure, it was not left open by any of the railroad men. The switch was not opened in the regular manner, as the bolt had been taken from the shaft in order to get it open. All the indications point strongly to the probability that train wreckers were at work in Walkerton last Sunday night. The railroad company, of course propose to know something more about the affair if possible. “Late to bed and early to rise will shorten the road to your home in the. ! skies,” But early to bed and a “Little Early Riser,” the pill that makes life longer and better and wiser.

$2.50 buys a man a full suit of clothes of T. J. Wolfe, the clothier and tailor. An exchange hits the nail square on the head when it says: “The man who is always telling newspapers to pitch into this, that and the other thing, and claims that it lacks nerve because it does not rip people up the back, is the same one who never wants his name used under any circumstances, and is the first to cry that injustice has been done.” DRUGS, We desire to inform the public that we have opened up our drug store in the Hudelmyer block, next door to Brubaker & Hudelmyer’s store, where you will find a full line of drugs, patent medicines, toilet articles, perfumes, etc., and everything usually kept in a first-class drug store.
