The dance given by the Catholic ■ people in Bender’s hall Wednesday ■ evening was a success in every partic- ■ ular. It was one of the pleasantest ■ occasions of the kind n ver held in ■ Walkerton. The music, which was ,■ furnished by the Miller orchestra, of ■ Marshall county, was fine. The atw tendance was quite large, a number of w people from abroad being present. At 12 o’clock the dancers partook of a most palatable supper which was served in Beall’s new brick building. The Michigan City news states that Frank Dyer, a convict in the northern prison, died last Tuesday morning, and the cause of his death is attributed to soap-eating. It is an old trick among prisoners to eat soap for the purpose of producing symptoms of consumption with the hope of being pardoned on account of their physical condition. But Dyer got too much of it, with fatal results. Dyer, who was sent up from Noble county, was serving a two and one-half year sentence for grand larceny and had served about a year.

That is news here. Tim elder w ill no doubt be somewhat surprised to learn that he is dead. The South Bend Times says: “The clover huller season this year has been a partial failure;ditto the crop of seed, and that in spite of the most favorable advance prospects. A well posted clover authority states that it was due to the very general drowning out of bumble bees, upon which the heads de pend for fertilization. The heads did not fill out with seed.”

The Walkerton party of excursionists to Washington City returned home the fore p- t of the week and report n ■ most ii erraHng nnd pli'iuuut liip. They sited the capital building. White House, treasury building and all the places and buildings of public interest. They think Washi gton is the most beautiful city they ever saw, and say it must be seen to be appro ciated as words cannot describe it. It is estimated that 100,000 vetreans and the same number of civilians visited the capital during the G. A. IL encampment. Elzy Smith, who drove to the LaPorte fair on Thursday retimed home after dark and hitched his horse on Avenue F. On returning to untie his horse he found the rig was gone, and immediately began a search for it but after several hours of driving about the country and diligent inquiry no clue could be learned of the whereabouts of his horse and buggy. Friday morning, however, the rig was found hitched in the alley back of the widow Cunningham property. This makes the second or third time in the past two months that teams have been driven away in this manner from town. The sheriff of LaPorte county came to Walkerton last Thursday and arrested a young man by the name of Charles Wallace, who is charged with forging an order for goods,on a store in LaPorte. Wallace had been hanging around this place for two or three days being drunk most of the time and having a big time in general. He was either to dull to realize the extent of his crime or else he did not care much whether he was arrested or not. He worked in this place last spring but for several months past has been employed in or near LaPorte. The man on whom he forged the order was his employer. The Nappanee Advance says: “Mr. Annon Cripe and Miss May Lavender were united in marriage last Sunday at eleven o’clock, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Yarian. Rev. O. L. Richhart, pastor of the U. B. church, officiated. Only the immediate relatives and friends of the contracting parties were invited, those from abroad being, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cripe and son Allen and Miss Violia Harmison, of Walkerton. The guests of town were, Miss Carrie Yarian, Mrs. Grant Anglin and Mrs. Ellen Gilbert and two children. A fine dinner was served. The young couple have the congratulations and best wishes of a host of friends for success and happiness in life.”

PETTIT PITIED. A New Development Made In This Noted Case. A “new development” has been made in the case of Rev. W. F. Pettit, who is serving a life sentence in the northern prison. The Lafayette Journal says of it: Pettit’s successor as pastor at Shawnee Mound was Rev. W. F. Clark, who is now filling the pulpit in the state of Washington. While Mr. Clark lived in the parsonage at Shawnee Mrs. Clark died. She died after a short illness and the symptoms of her illness were very much like those demonstrated in Mrs..Pettit’s case. After Mrs. Clark’s death a post mortem was held and revealed that' death had resulted from some disorder of the liver. Soon after Mrs. Clark’s demise Dr. Metcalf, secretary of the state board of health, and Dr. John N. Hurty, both gentleman residents of Indianapolis, visited Shawnee Mound and made an inspection of the parsonage and its surroundings. What Dr. Hurty saw on that visit ami inspection was described last week to a gentleman from this city who was in Indianapolis on professional business and happened to meet Dr. Hurty. Dr. Unity declared that the conditions surrounding the Shawnee parson age were such as to cause symptoms of strychnia poisoning in persons whose i health had become impaired. He did { not enter into a minute description of the premises nor give an Xpert analy- i sis of the effect, but he made the declaration above quoted in positive language. It is presumed that the condition of the premises is such as to cause I miasmic poisoning. In view of this important declaration made by a gentleman whose ability cannot be questioned, the attorneys for I the defense in the Pettit case should secure control of the parsonage and see that no changes are made in its surroundings and condition. Then , they can call on Drs. Metcalf and Hurty to explain the causes which existing can produce symptoms that are I identical to those produced by strychnine poison. To aumin who has a life of solitary confinment before him this statement made by Dr. Hurty has an importance that cannot be measured by words.
