Newspaper editors have to be very careful in opening their columns fore statements, But aware that tne Dr. Miles Medical Co. are responsible, we give room to the following testimonial from R. McDougall, Auburn, Ind , who for two years noticed a stoppage of skipping o the pulse, his left side got so tender he eould not lie on it, his heart fluttered, he was alarmed, went to different doctors, got no relief; but one bottle of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure cured him. The elegant books, “New and Startling Facts,” free at J. Endly’s tells all about Heart and Nervous Diseases and the wonderful cures. There is no use talking, neither Harrison or Cleveland will be elected unless they take De Witt’s Little Early Risers. They have a “get there” quality possessed by no other pill. J. Endly.

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

THE ROBBERY AT GARRETT. * An Old G. A. R. Man Named Landers Robbed of S3OO. > On Friday of last week during the 1 reunion at Garrett an old G. A. R. man by the name of Landers, living at Three Oaks, Mich., was robbed of S3OO pension money which, it is said, he had just received a short time prior to the robbery. Landers was pretty well under the influence of liquor and was advised by some one to get off of the street and find some place to sleep off bis jag. This he proceeded to do and found lodging in an ice house, having the S3OO in his possesion at the time. Herbert Dunn, a young man of Garrett, it seems knew that Landers had this money and saw him lie down in the ice house. Dunn was riding around town in a buggy with two young acquaintances, John Aunspaugb, a railroader, and Benson Cook, son of James Cook, o f this place, and remarked to them that he knew of an old man that he could tap. Aunspaugb, it is said, replied : “Go for him,” probably not taking a second thought of what he was saying. After riding over town a short time Dunn got out of the buggy, and the other two young men continued to drive about town. Later *on Dunn met the boys again and climbed into the buggy and they started for a drive into the country. When they had driven about a half mile from town Dann said: “Well, I turned him over,” or words to that effect. His companions inquired what he meant and Dunn replied: “I tapped that fellow and I will give you each SSO if you will keep your mouths shut.” The boys told him that they did not want his money. Dunn said they were fools, he bad been at this business for two years, dressed well and did not have to work. He then said that he would have to be getting out of that and hide the money. He got out of the buggy and ran across a field, the last the boys saw as him until he was arrested. It is saui that Landers when robbed was almost beaten senseless by Dunn and when he came into court to testify ^U^Jg^betot^r liia f rough treatment. tanders testified that Dunn was the man who robbed him. Dunn at first denied his guilt but afterwards confessed and surrend ered the stolen money to the authorities. Cook and Aunspaugh were both arrested under suspicion of being implicated in the robbery, but judging from the evidence as reported in Walkerton their chances of being vindicated are very bright. James Cook, father of Benson, was at Auburn several days looking the matter up and be returned home greatly encouraged and fully confident of his san’s acquittal. Dunn at one time was employed in a hotel in Walkerton and seemed to be a fair sort of a young man, never having gotten into any trouble while here. The trial will be held at Auburn next Thursday. HOW TO VOTE. Upon entering the election room announce your name to the poll clerks, who are the two members of the board that records the names of the voters and write their initials upon the ballots. One of these poll clerks will furnish you with ballots, one on red paper containing the national and state ticket, and one on whitepaper, containing the county ticket. Take ballots KBOM NO ONE ELSE. To have PURPORTED ballots in your possession is a penitentiary offense. Retire to a booth to prepare your ballot. If you accidentally mutilate, tear, deface, mark or blot your ballots, return them at once to the poll clerks, and they will give you others. To vote a straight ticket, stamp your ballot ONCE within the large square at the head of the ticket containing the device. To vote a mixed ticket stamp once within the small square to the left the name (on whichever ticket it may appear) of every person for whom you wish to vote. In any event when stamping a mixed ticket, DO NOT stamp within any one of the larger squares at the top of the different tickets which contain the rooster, eagle, plow, etc. Stamping within any one of the large squares at the top of the ballots containing a rooster, eagle, plow,, etc., is to vote a straight ticket. And to vote a mixed ticket yon pay no attention whatever to these large : squares at the top of your ticket, but I do all your stamping within the smal-

ler squares to the left of names of candidates. Having stamped your ballot in the booth, there fold it so as to show the initials of the poll clerks, which appear on the back of the ballots, and djj* - not fold your ballots so as to disclose how you have voted. Hand your ballots, after you have folded them as just indicated, to the inspector, the member of the board who sits by the ballot box ready to receive them. Hand your stamp to the poll clerks and leave the election room. DO NOT stamp on your ballots anywhere except within one of the large squares at the top to vote a straight ticket, or within as many of the small squares, if voting a mixed ticket, as are to the left of the names of all the tickets for whom you may care to vote. DO NOT use pen or pencil in preparing ballots. DO NOT show anybody how you voted or try to see how others have voted• If you want instruction, when in the election room as to how to prepare ballots, ask the poll clerks for it, or if you arc physically unable to stamp your ballots, or can not read English, ask the poll clerks for aid, and they will assist you to prepare your ballots. LOCAL BRILLS. A fine line of corsets at Millard’s. Call in and pay up your subscription. It will require 1,400,000 ballots for the Indiana election.

Horses do better on whole oats than ground oats—it is claimed that grinding does away with the choicest part of the oats somehow. Louis Rapp, a 12 year old boy of South Bend, fell under a moving train last Monday in the Vandalia yards and had both legs cut off. A large, flashy bill board has been put up on Avenue F, near the town house, advertising the barbecue. It is the work of Harry Richmond The Independent notes with pleasure the return of Rev. S. W. Goss to the M. E. charge in this place. Mr. Goss is a young man of more than ordinary ability, and is making his mark as a pastor and pulpit orator. The citizens of Walkerton, both inside and outside of the M. E. church, are glad that Mr. Goss is to remain with us. Noah Rensberger will compete with any of the surrounding towns or cities on the price of ladies’, misses’ and children’s cloaks. He sells them from $1 up to any price wanted. He can buy just as cheap and sell with less expense than the merchants in the cities. He sells a very fine plush cloak for $25, which you would pay S3O for in other places. Mrs. Sarah Forsythe committed suicide at Mishawaka by taking poison a few days since. She was the wife of J. W. Forsythe, a carpenter of South Bend, from whom she had been separated for some time. She was a pleasant and well-liked woman and no cause can be assigned for her taking her own life but insanity. Her age was about 33 years. Rev. 11. C. Keeley closed his revival meeting at Monon last Saturday night with 37 accessions to the church. Mr, Keeley writes to the Independent that it was one of the finest meetings he ever conducted. Only two or three nights in eighteen could the church accommodate the crowds. Last Saturday night 50 extra chairs were used 1 and 50 people had to stand up and 100 j more could not get in.

The nine carrier pigeons which were sent from Pittsburgh to John McDaniel, of this place, with instructions to let them ^o when the wind was favorable, were released last Saturday morning. The birds circled around the town for a few minutes and then flew in an eastern direction. Mr. Starr, owner of the buds, wrote to Mr. McDaniel that three of the birds reached Pittsburgh Sunday morning but that the other six had failed* to show up. Mr. Starr writes that he will send some more pigeons to this place in a few days for another trial of their flying speed. ■ ■ i pL D-S? JxXh Jun"’v". VAa AIX • -— Why?
