Miss A^nea, ^g^^g^>erutrr in the tefeL Tms "been ^fAiited ft two week’s vacation which£ she will spend with her mother at Walkerton. If there is any one in the city who is deserving of a vacation it certainly is Miss Quirk. She has faithfully held down the keys for over a year without losing any time. C. W. Graham, of Anderson, will take her place.—Kokomo Daily Dispatch. Hon. Richard Guenther, of Wisconsin, an ex-member of congress and present United States consul general to Mexico, spoke in Bender’s hall last Monday evening on the political issues from a republican point of view. The speaker was introduced by Attorney Dailey at 8 o’clock and spoke for about one hour and a half. Mr. Guenther is a German by birth, having come from the fatherland when he was 21 years old. He speaks with a strong German accent and feels more at home when delivering a speech in his native tongue. He is said to be a powerful orator in the German language. He is, however, a strong, convincing speaker in the prevailing tongue and did not fail to keep his large audience thoroughly interested throughout his address. He touched upon the tariff, labor, financial end all of the principal questions in a manner that showed him to be a logical, studious and well read man. He spoke at North Liberty on the evening of the following day. Elkhart has a shooting sensation. Dr. Porter Turner, of that city, while sleeping on a lounge in his private office last Tuesday night was awakened about 10 :30 o’clock by the rattling of bottles on the shelves in the next room. He aroused himself and sought quietly to ascertain the cause of the noise. He had shut the door entering his private room and peering through saw a man trying the safe. The doctor warned him to desist or he would shoot, but the fellow instead of heeding the warning made a dash towards the private room and succeeded in bursting the door in. As he entered the room the doctor fired a shot-gun, the load entering the burglar’s neck, killing him instantly. As soon as the fellow fell to the floor the doctor recognized him as Jim Shook, a well-known degraded character about Elkhart. Dr. Turner regrets greatly the unfortunate affair, but he only acted in self-defense, and was perfectly justifiable in what he did under the circumstances.

Burt, an old and influential citizen of Mishawaka, is dead at the age of 60 years. He was a popular member of the Odd Fellows society. The new cross-w’alk from Groshans’ blacksmith shop to Arlington’s corner is a big little improvement. It is a much needed convenience that should have been supplied long ago.

John Jackson, of Walkerton, is in the city to day receiving treatment of Dr. Schafer. A few weeks ago Mr. Jackson had the sight of his left eye destroyed from an injury received while working a hay press. Dr. Schafer is trying to preserve the eyeball.—South Bend Post. A telephone line is being put up from New York to Chicago. South Bend is on the line, and the papers of that city state that a conversation was held between South Bend and New York, the other day, and that the words were as distinctly audible as if they had been spoken in the same room. Thorough preparations are being made by the schools of Walkerton to observe Columbus Day, the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, on October 21. The exercises will consist of marching by the pupils, memorial exercises on the school grounds, in which the G. A. R. post will take an important part, followed by a literary program in Bender’s hall. The occasion will also be utilized as an arbor day and trees will be planted on the school grounds. — The South Bend Sunday News is authority for the following rather peculiar occurrence: “The population of the city of South Bend was increased on Friday in a most extraordinary manner. A Polish woman walking along the Lake Shore tracks carrying her husband’s dinner to the shop where he is employed suddently felt the approach of maternity and stepping between two freight cars that stood on a sidetrack, calmly awaited the event. In about fifteen minutes she reappeared with something wrapped up in her shawl and w’ent on her way as though nothing had happened. Her husband was no doubt a little impatient on account of the unusual delay, but when she opened the bundle and disclosed the cause of it, his impatience must have given way to paternal joy.”
