The Epworth League held a picnic at Koontz’s lake last Wednesday. Early in the morning carryalls and carriages began conveying the young people to the cool woods bordering on the shores of’this beautiful sheet of water. Hammocks ware sw,ung in the shade, boating pleasures were indulged ■ in, together with the regulation picnic dinner, all of which made the day cne of delightful sylvan enjoyment. “Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay,” which is now all the rage, emanated from, a song used by the howling dervishes, a religious sect of interior Turkey. The song as sung by the dervishes is a prolonged wail—a repetition of “ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay,” lasting from one to two hours. It is doubtful if the song as sung by the howling dervishes of this country is much of an improvement on the original. A narraw-gauge railway from this place to Koontz’s lake is being talked up a little on the quiet among a few of our citizens. The line would be about three miles in length and the motive power would be electricity, consisting of a motor to which would be attached a car for carrying passengers. The scheme looks a little visionary on the surface, but if the cost of building the road and equipping it could be kept within a certain limit the project might be a practical one, after all. At Jeast the matter is worthy of a thorough investigation.

Miss Clara Hildebrand, living near Walkerton, shocked 25 acres of good wheat after a reaper, except placing the cap-sheaves, and in addition assisted her mother with the housework mornings and evenings. Certainly a good record.—South Bend Tribune. Mr. Wetzel, of Chicago, a member of the Pottowattomie Club, made the Independent office a pleasant call on Monday. He informed us that the club would put a small steamer on Koontz's lake next summer besides making other fine improvements at that resort.

M. Lew Enyart, for the past seven years the able editor of the Macy Monitor, has sold that paper to Ben G. Whitehead, of Marshall, 111., who will change its political complexion, making it a democratic paper. Mr. Enyart, ; the retiring editor, has been offered a position as water-carrier for a section gang, but whether he has accepted yet or not has not been learned.

Freight train No. 93, westward bound, due here about 12 o’clock, p. m., was wrecked about a mile east of town last Saturday night. The wreck, it is supposed, was caused by the train dividing and the rear part running into the front cars. Three box cars yyere badly damaged, one of which was loaded with bottled pickles and catsup and pails of chow-chow manufactured by the Heinz Co. The people who went to see the wreck the following morning were invited to help themselves to pickles and catsup, which invitation they were not slow to accept, and soon this portion of the wreck had been picked up and carried away. Traing were unable to pass until quite late in the morning, when the work of clearing the track of the debris had been completed.

From a letter received, by S. F. Ross from Ira Rensberger the Independent learns that the latter has been appointed receiver Ox the North Chicago S.treet Railway Co. Mr. Rensberger, whose home is near this place, formerly taught school in this township until two or three years ago when he went to Chicago and began life in the great metropolis as a* street car conductor. The young man possessed qualities which won the favorable notice of his employers, in whose confidence and estimation he rose rapidly, and the result was that promotion followed promotion in quick succession. The position which he now holds is one of considerable responsibility, as well as being a lucrative one. The In ^pendent, together with Ira’s many friends here, congratulates him on his merited success.

The first train to run into the exposition grounds. THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIMITED, AND THE BIG 5. Two Grand Trains Daily Between the World’s Fair City and the Foothills. mauds it, and the People Must Have it. The popularity of ‘‘The Great Lock Island Route” as a Colorado line—it having long time since taken first place as the people’s favorite between the Lakes and the Mountains—has compelled the management to increase its present splendid service by the addition of a train that is one night on the road from Chicago to Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo. This train will be known as the “Rocky Moutain Limited, ■ and will he put m service May first. Leaves Chicago daily at 10:45 a. arriving at above cities in the afternoon of the next day, earlier than any of its competitors. Especial equipment has been built for this train, with the veiw of making it a Limited in evej’y sense of the word, and best of all, there will be no extra charge. The route of this exceedingly fast train is by the Rock Island Short Line, and a few of the large cities through which it 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 point: 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 Pen ver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo the second morning, being but one day out, and this fast and popular train goes through Omaha. Our No. 11 will leave as heretofore at G p. m., arrive at Kansas City at 9:00 A’ M., and will reach Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo the second morning.

Our Colorado service’s made perfect by this new “Rocky Mountain Limited” and th^ “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 summer vacation. John Sebastian, G. T. & P. A., Chicago.
