Jack. Latest Three I News. Just at the present juncture indications point strongly to the probability of Walkerton and South Bend getting the Three I railroad. The Independent sincerely hopes that there is no mistake in this report, and that Walkerton will get this prize which, without a doubt, would be of great benefit to the town. The following dispatch regarding the Three I road was sent from Fairbury, 111., to the Chicago Inter Ocean, under date of Aug. 10: “The Indiana, Illinois and lowa Railroad, which traverses the entire northern part of this county, is negotiating to make extensive improvements. A stockholders’ meeting has been called to take place soon, at which it is intended to execute a contract for the construction of an extension from Knox eastward to South Bend, Ind. The preliminary survey has been recently made. It is intended that bonds in the sum of SIOO,OOO shall be issued for the above purpose. The work on the extension will begin Sept. 1, providing the stockholders agree with the officers.” THE DOCTORS ARE GUILTY. Grave mistakes are made by physicians in their treatment of Heart Disease. Day after day, the roll of sudden deaths is increasing and hundreds become yictims to the ignorance and indifi’erence of physicians in studying this disease. One in four persons has a diseased heart. Shortness of breath, palpitation and fluttering of heart, irregular pulse, choking sensation, asthmatic breathing, pain or tenderness in side, shoulder or arm, weak or hungry spells, these are symptoms of heart disease. Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure is the only reliable remedy. Thousands testify to wonderful cures by using it. Books free. Sold by J. Endly. If you can sing you need not go bareheaded, for T, J. Wolfe is selling his ■ straw hats for a song now, they say.

All patent medicines sold 2 cents per bottle less than any other druggist in Walkerton. J ENDLI.

REPUBLICAN POLE RAISING. The republicans of Starke county opened the campaign with a pole raising at Grovertown last Monday afternoon. A large delegation went from this place, accompanied by the speaker of the day, Col. J. S. Dodge, republican candidate for congress in this district. The Walkerton cornet band headed the procession and enlivened the trip along the way by an occasional lively piece played in excellent style. As the delegation was starting from Walkerton one of the horses attached to the vehicle in which Colonel Dodge was riding balked and refused to go and another horse was put in its place. The owner, Mr. Leßoy, the liveryman, says the horse never balked before and he could give no reason for its acting so. It is believed now, however, that the horse has strong democratic proclivities, which is about the only explanation that can be given for its obstinacy on that occasion. Delegations were also present from Knox, Hamlet and the Oak Grove club house, the latter being in command of Captain Linder. The Walkerton delegation was marshaled by Samuel Koontz, jr. A Harrison and Reid pole about 121 feet long was raised at 3 o’clock under the direction of Contractor E. Leibole, of this place, amid ringing cheers and music by the Walkerton cornet band. At 3:30 o’clock the people gathered in the grove adjoining town, where a mass meeting was held, George A. Scott, of Knox, being chosen chairman. Col. J. S. Dodge was introduced and spoke ably for about one hour and a half, confining himself mainly to the great issue of the day—the tariff. At the conclusion of the speech the Walkerton cornet band, assisted by the band belonging to Thompson & Sinclair’s show, furnished some lively and exceiienmnwuo. '* at 5:30 o’clock, with cheers for the republican candidates. THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIMITED, AND THE BIG 5. Two Grand Trains Daily Between the World’s Fair City and the Foothills. One Night Out, or One Day Out. Take Your Choice. Business Demands it, and the People Must Have it. The popularity of “The Great Rock Island Route” as a Colorado line—it having long time since taken first place as the people’s favorite between the Lakesand 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 Chicage to Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo. This train will be known as the “Rocky Moutain Limited, and will be put in service May first. Leaves Chicago daily at 10 ;45 a. m •, arriving at above cities in the -afternoon of the next day, earlier than any of its competitors. Especial equipment has been built for tins train, with the veiw of making it a Limited in every 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 vhich 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 Denver, 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 6 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 is made perfect by this new “Rocky Mountain Limited” and the “Big 5,” and gives to the traveling public two flyers daily. Manitou assengers 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.

Three old rattle snakes with fortynine young ones have been killed within the last few days by men working on Place’s hay marsh near the Kankakee river, so Jesse Jackson informs Wils pnper. linn +H I. er; now let us hchr from otners on the snake question. A ten year old son of Abraham Stickley, residing on the other side of the Kankakee, was kicked by a twoyear old colt last Tuesday just above the right eye receiving a very painful wound. The colt was unshod or the boy’s injury would have been much worse. The wound was dressed by Dr. Denaut. Thompson & Sinclair Bros.’ tent show gave two exhibitions in this place last Tuesday. The afternoon attendance was very light but the evening's performance drew a large house. The program was fair for a small show, the trapeze performance by the Edgerton sisters being the best feature of the entertainment. That report published by the city dailies to the effect that the Studebaker wagon works were obliged to shut down because the employes refused to work on account of the company using materials made by the Canegie works, was a hoax. Whoever sent the dispatch from South Bend evidently had a burning ambition to do something sensational. While at Grovertown last Monday the writer had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Frank Geisler, editor of the Republican of Knox, as well as other citizens of that growing county seat. Mr. Geisler informed us that the directors of the Three I railroad had sent a notice to his paper for publication announcing a meeting to be held by them in September for the purpose of mortgaging the road for the sum of four hundred thousand dollars. This would indicate that the Three I people intend to do something very soon. A number of farmers in the vicinity of the Koontz lake region suffered severely in the loss of crops by the hail and wind storm which swept over that locality on Wednesday evening of last week. James Lampson’s corn and other crops 'were entirely destroyed; Clark Phillips lost about thirty acres of corn; O. H. Dipert’s two acres of pickle vines were rendered worthless, and Elmer Anderson and Will Anderson each lost an acre of pickle vines. The hailstones were of enormous size, some of them measuring nine inches in circumference. A hailstone struck O. H. Dipert cutting a hole through his felt hat and inflicting quite a gash on his head.

Tuttle, the barber, has put in a nice line of cigars. Call at the Star bakery for a lunch or square meal. There are 775 pensioners who receive $135,036, in St. Joseph county. Belief that you “can’t be cured” is a symptom of dyspepsia. Take Simmons Liver Regulator. Congressman Shively has the thanks of the Independent for his recent speech on tin plate. Don’t forget to cut your Canada thistles. Perhaps it may help to jog your memory to know that a farmer near Goshen had to pay $14.50 the other day for disobeying the law in this respect. Political Announcement. The joint senatorial convention for the counties of Starke and St Joseph will meet in Walkerton Saturday, August 20, 1892, at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for senator from this district, and transacting any other business that may properly come before the convention. Col. J. S. Dodge, Aaron Jones and other good speakers will be present, and it is desired to have a good attendance and rousing meeting. DO STAND U THAT SELL WE ALL? you cannot read the above ad come in. E. J. Vincent. ~J. ENDLY. DRE HST, -a.— jLMLteX J Don't forget that I am not to be undersold, but that I can undeisell any other druggist in St, Joseph county. I pay no rent, but get rent, and have sufficient means to carry me through, J. ENDLY. HE REJOICETH! Why ? Let us tell you that he has great cause for his exuberation of spirits. For years one of Dyspepsia’s victims. Remedy after remedy was tried—no relief. At last the key-note was struck, the chords vibrated harmoniously—he is a well man and thankful. What did it? Simmons Liver Regulator. It will do you good, too. Try it. Why go through life a sufferer from Dyspepsia, Indigestion, or Malaria? Follow our friend’s example, and you, too, will be a new man, your ailments vanished and vou will desire to join in the rejoicing. Simmons Liver Regulator has thousands of friendu made so from its action in curing their ills, and the friendship made by and through severe tests is found to be maintained. Never been Disappointed. "As a general family remedy for Dyspepsia, Torpid Liver, Constipation, etc., I hardly ever use anything else, and have never been disappointed in the effect produced ; it seems to be almost a perfect cure for all diseases of the stomach and bowels."
