djc Jn&cpcnircnt WALKERTON, INDIANA, AUG. 13, 1892, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. In England one in 39 is a pauper; in America only one in 680. We have no need for anarchists in this (Country. Stop the hole at Castle Garden. —Milford Mail. Bayless Hanna, son of the late Minister Bayless W. Hanna, of Indiana, was taken to Lebanon, the other day, to be tried on a charge of larceny. The father did not live to see his son’s disgrace. A one legged man and a one-armed woman are traveling over the country defrauding members of the Odd Fellows order. An exchange warns members of the order to look out for these frauds. An exchange asks: What makes so many bicyclists ride like they bad been eating green apples and were doubled up on their stomachs? The nose hanging over the front wheel doesn’t increase the speed. Three boys at Michigan City went boat riding on Lake Michigan last Sunday. They were under the influence of liquor, it is said, and the boat ■was capsized. One boy swam to shore but the other two, Henry Biher and Fred Slocon, were drowned. President Harrison has signed the eight hour law, which prohibits all employes of the government from working more than eight hours a day. Eight hours will be the standard, as ten hours is now, for a day’s work with all classes of employes, at no distant future time. There is a great deal of good, common horse sense in the following from the New York Herald. “A man who hires another at §6O a month to do work which brings in only s6l a month is a philanthropist. But if he hires 20,000 men at the same rate he has an income of $20,000 a month and is a f'blasted monopolist.” Is the millennium near at hand? One is almost led to think so by the following item from the LaPorte Herthe benefit of sick children and invalads, and strange to say nobody is trying to make money out of the scheme. This is remarkable for Chicago.” “Can ane wspaper man write literature?” was the query that a “littery feller” named Stillman propounded in an article not long ago. He can, Mr. Stillman, but few of them do because “litertoor” don't pay. David Christie Murray, the novelist, is proof of that fact. He applied the other day for a discharge from bankruptcy, but as he couldn’t pay 50 cents on the dollar his prayer was fruitless.—lndianapolis Sun. Col. John C. Bundy, editor of the Religio-Philosophical Journal, died at his home in Chicago a few days ago. His death is a great loss to the sect known as the investigating spiritualists, of which the deceased was the acknowledged head in this country. He believed honestly in spiritualism, but opposed the trickery and fraud practiced by the so-called mediums and made open war upon them through his paper. His age was about 51 years. He was a member of the Chicago press club and a very popular and able man. Most editors are well acqainted with the man who takes “more papers than he can read” and consequently has no us& for his home paper. He takes a paper published in Portland, Maine. It contains all the news about “The ’ smugglers’ last cruise,” “The adven- ; tures of Mose, the bandit king.” ; While he is storing his mind with such • intellectual information his wife pores over back number almanacs. But let him get taken in on the gold brick swindle, fleeced in any way by sharpers, troubled by his neighbors, etc., he rushes to his home paper to help him out.—Goshen Times. I rejoice in nothing more than in this movement recently so prominent- i ly developed of placing the starry banner above every school-house. I have been charged with too sentimental an appreciation of the flag. I will not enter upon any defense. God pity an j American citizen who does not love it, who does not see in it the story of our ; I i great free institutions and the hope of 1 the home as well as of the N alien, and . . think, notwithstanding perhaps a litue ‘i too much tendency to rote in our pub-' lie schools, that-it i still true P ' < A teachers, . pre not wb' it s- nfimeat.—President; Harrison at Saratoga. ■ <

LaFayette gets the new Soldiers Home. Warsaw made a hard fight for it. Joel P. Heatwole, formerly editor of the Middlebury Record, has been nominated for congress by the republicans of the Third Minnesota district. Thirty-five railroads enter Chicago. It is stated these railroads will expend $110,000,000 for the improvement and increase of their facilities for transporting visitors and freight to the World’s Fair. Prof. W. N. Hailmann, agent of the Indiana board of World’s Fair managers, is making an effort to have an exhibit of Indiana newspapers at the exposition, and it is the desire to place on exhibition a copy of every newspaper published in the state. In this work Prof. Hailmann should receive the hearty and unanimous support ol the newspaper publishers of Indiana Printers will no longer be compelled to compete with the government or printed envelopes. Congress has pass ed a law making it unlawful for thf government to furnish envelopes o: this kind, and the business will there ; fore be discontinued. It was an un just discrimination against the print ■ ers of the country and took hundred ; of thousands of dollars out of thei pockets annually. The Ashley Times, which is at pres ent published in a new town of a few in 5 habitants on the 'Wabash extension, i ■ very cheerful over Ashley’s prospect - and indulges in the following ros; • prophesy of that town’s future: “W, 5 wish to inform the public that Aside; i will be well up in the procession, ii L fact, in close proximity to the bam wagon so far as modern city improve meats and conveniences go. First class schools and fine churches, rac track and horses, water works am ' electric lights, good hotel and open ’ house, good society and cultured peo 1 pie, all that is necessary for its in 1 habitants to enjoy a long lite and di happy.” The following is excellent advic and guidance for those just startin; out in life: Foolish spending is th father of poverty. Do not be ashamei of hard work. Work for., the bps ■ but in order to • society or fashion swallow up you - individuality—hat, coat or boots. D ■ not eat up or wear out all that you ca earn. Compel your body to spar something for profits saved. Be sting to your own appetite, if need be, bn be merciful to others’ necessities Help others but ask no help for youi self. See that you are too proud to b lazy; too proud to give up without con : quering every difficulty; too proud t wear a coat you cannot afford to bin ‘ I * i too proud to be in company that yo i cannot keep up expenses in, too prom Ito lie; too proud to steal; too proud t cheat, and too proud to be stingy whw help is needed in a w’orthy cause. A Piketty Sui'pnsa. A beautifully illustrated and charm ingly bound edition of Longfellow'. “Evangeline,” the most popular Ion; poem ever published by an America! author, and one of the most famous poems in the language, just published is a pretty surprise for booklovers. Ii is in large type, numerous and excel lent illustrations, very fine and heavy paper, gilt edges, remarkably handsome cloth binding, with gilt title' and ornaments. No illustrated edition has ever before been published at less cost than $1.50, and that is about what you might “guess” the price of this to be, but it isn’t—it sells for only 19 cents ! plus 6 cents for postage, if by mail. This covers only about the actual cost of manufacture by the 100,000, the publisher’s object being, not profit, but [to show the book-loving milions what fie can do. Eis publications are not sold by dealers, but only direct; catalogue, over 100 pages, a literary curiosity in its way, is sent for a 2 cent stamp. Every home in the land ought to have a copy of this Evangeline, so charmingly beautiful, as a poem, as a collection of artistic illustrations, and as a product of the book-making art.
