COST OF SOME BIG THINGS. Buildings, Paintings, Books, Horses and Cigars Which Represent Large f Amounts. The following clipping handed us by . Al Hardenbrook is of considerable inj terest and just the thing to preserve in your scrap book: The magnificant national capitol at . Washington has cost, since the laying of its corner-stone in 1793, very nearly $15,000,000, but the state capitol of New York at Albany, although not yet completed according to the architect’s designs, has already cost almost S2O, 000,000, and is the most expensive building of modern times. The largest and most expensive city hall in the United States is that of Philadelphia, and its principal tower is to contain the largest clock in the world. The greatest price ever paid for a horse was $150,000, given by Malcom Forbes, of Boston, for Arion, which he bought from Senator Stanford, of California. Axtell, the trotter, brought $105,000 when 3 years old, while in 1891 St.

Blaise was sold for SIOO,OOO. One hundred and three thousand dollars has been offered and refused for a He-’ brew bible now in the library of the Vatican at Rome. This makes it the most valuable book in the world, so far as dollars and cents go. In 1635, when the entire Dutch nation was crazy upon the subject of tulips, a single bulb was sold for $2,200. At such prices it 1 would pay better to raise tulips than to own the most valuable gold mine in the world. । Speaking of gold mines where do you , suppose the most valuable bit of ore 1 ever smelted in the world, so far as known, was found? asks Harper’s I Young People. In California or Aus- 1

tralia or India ? No, Indeed. It was a lot containing 200 pounds of quartz holding gold at the rate of $50,000 per ton. and was found in a mine at Ishpeming, Mich. The costliest cigars ever exported from Havana were a quantity made °”nressly for the prince of Wales and valued at $1.87 apiece in the factory. The largest whiCEM^^pTiuvc or -m- a-a " dia, agreed to''give the jeweler who then owned the imperial, which is considered the finest stone in the world. The shah of Persia and the sultan of Turkey each possesses a prayer mat, or rug, made of diamonds and pearls, and valued at something over $2,500 000 apiece. The largest and most ex pensive rug in the world, made of the ordinary materials of which such things are manufactured, is owned by the Carlton club, of London. A broken wooden horse with which Napoleon Bonapart played when a child was re cently sold for 1,000 francs. Think of paying $250,000 for a single meal. That is what a wealthy Roman once did when he wished to impress a dozen guests with his disregard for riches. The most valuable of modern paintings is Meissonier’s “1814,” which was bought by a Frenchman for $170,000. The same gentleman paid $150,000 for “The Angelus,” by Millet, of which you all have doubtless seen photographs or other reproductions. TEEGARDEN. Lincoln Rupel, of Hannah, was visiting here over Sunday. Daniel Strope and family, of Elkhart, were visiting with B. F. Letberman over Sunday. Mrs. Sarah Wenner is quite ill at present.

WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, OCT. 15, 1892.

LOCAL BRIEFS. Call in and pay up your subscription. Our Teeg:.rden correspondence came too late for publication last week. F. M. Ake, the harnessmaker, comes at you with a new ad in this issue. Get your job printing done at the Independent office. For a fine five cent cigar call at the Star bakery. Remember the Conundrum Banquet at Bender’s hall Oct. 21. Supper, 15 cents. It is asserted by a journal devoted to progress in manufacturing that within five years the best bicyles made now will be sold for S2O and probably for less. A social hop, under the management of Frank Ryder, will be given in Bender’s hall, Wednesday evening, Oct. 19.

The St. Joseph county circuit court is in session and grinding out quite a grist of cases. A number of divorce cases are on the docket. The Mail says that five citizens of Milford have taken the gold cure for the liquor habit and in every case with success. The sixth man from that place is now taking the cure at Bourbon. South Bend citizens are kicking over the size of the new government building to be built there. They think it will be altogether too insignificant in size for a city of the proportions and importance of South Bend. Rev. Goss delivered his last sermon Sunday evening as pastor of the M. E. church for this conference year. The church is in better shape at the close of this year financially and otherwise than it ever was before. A K. of P. lodge was organized at Bristol, Elkhart County, recently, with seventy-seven members. A team I Ah* i' between lant Knights* > o , ,pl / I The Knott Milling Co. have regular customers in Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Maryland, to whom they ship flour. They ship a car load of Hour every week to the former place. Last week they filled an order for three car loads to a firm at Peru, this state. The excellence of the Walkerton flour is giving it widespread fame. Mrs. Byers, wife of Rev. A. Byers, formerly of this place, died at their home near Independence, Oregon, a few days ago. Mrs. Byers’ death was rather sudden and unexpected, as she was in the enjoyment of good health until recently. The cause of her demise was paralysis. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of their many Walkerton friends.

The following is Hicks’ forecast for October: Autumnal storms of rain, with possible snow to the west and north, will prevail at the beginning of October. From 11th to 15th, it will turn warmer and result in more storms, beginning in the west and traveling to the east. A freezing blast from the northweast 'will follow this period. The 19th and 20th are active storm days. Be watchful of what they may bring, and of the cold wave following. The 24th to 27th expect storms and frost and freezing up to about the 30th —a reactionary day. Dr. Chas. Fanola, who advertises himself as the Brazillian doctor, concluded his series of entertainments in this place Tuesday evening and is now giving North Liberty a whirl. The doctor succeeded in making a poor impression here. He started out on a sort of bull-dozing line when he came to town which created an unfavorable opinion against him among a large number of our citizens. The doctor has a right to rent halls and advertise his remedies, and it is no one’s business but his own and those who choose to patronize him. But he has no right to insult and misrepresent in a public way, as he did here, good, reliable citizens and business men, and try to injure their business and reputations. Such tactics will never do the doctor nor the firm whom he represents any good.

Election three weeks from next Tuesday. Michigan City has a licensed lady physician. Fred Ross’ residence is nearing completion. It will make a pleasant little home. Extra copies of the Independent in wrappers ready for mailing for sale at this office. •D’ W. Place has been appointed agent to buy right of way for the Three I company through this county. This begins to look like business. The Westville Indicator has put in a new power press and enlarged from a four to an eight page paper. The Indicator is coming out of the kinks in good shape. The fatherly look that Peck Sanders now has is due to the arrival of a newcomer at his home on last Tuesday. It is a big, healthy boy and weighed about eight pounds. South Bend has a flourishing porcelain manufactory which is but about a year old. It occupies a building 48 by 150 feet, three stories high, and employs thirty hands. A jail delivery was attempted by five prisoners at Goshen a few nights ago. They had their plan well laid and would have succeeded in breaking out in a few hours more had not the sheriff happened to detect them.

The North Judson News says Newt Hamlet, formerly of this county, but now aC. & E. fireman, had his foot badly crushed and was taken to a Huntington hospital.—Rochester Sentinel. Mr. Hamlet was formerly a resident of this place. ms kejSxceth! Why ? Let ns tell you that fee has* er?" ►-vjse for his exuberation of spirits.
