Jnbcpen&ait. WALKERTON, INDIANA, OCT. 22,1892, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The state ballot in Pennsylvania is four feet four inches in length. Forty small lakes have been discovered on the planet Mars by a Harvard professor. Charles T. Murray, formerly a South Bend journalist, is now employed on the staff of the New York Herald. Hon. Eli W. Brown, editor of the Frankfort Crescent, has been nominated for congress in the Ninth district. When a man is not doing well he imagines that he could do better if he could move and pay more rent.—Atchison Globe. Chicago university is to have the largest telescope in the world. Yerkes, the street railway man, has donated $500,000 to the university for this purpose. Michigan City has a “Jack the chaser,” who gives the girls of that place some li ely chases. He has not been caught yet but the authorities are after him. Mrs. Harrison’s sickness has developed into consumption, and her case is now hopeless. Step by step she is swiftly approaching the dark shore of the^nknown sea which separates this transitory life from the life eternal. He whose integrity is unquestionable, who can be trusted in what he

undertakes to do, who will work equally well alone as when every eye is upon him, and will do his best at all times, is an invaluable member of society, and on the road to wealth and prosperity.—Goshen Times. A congress will meet in Indianapolis in December to discuss the all-import-ant road question and to consider plans for the improvement of road making in this state. This meeting will be one of great interest and importance to the people, as Indiana’s system of roads will admit of a great deal of improvement. Neither President Harrison nor exPresident Cleveland were in attendance at the^World’s Pair dedication. . ‘ The former was liable to attend on

ly declined CC be present on account of the president’s misfortune. It was a manly act in Mr. Cleveland. Every town has its advantages and should make the best of them, says a contemporary. One man cannot make a town. The newspapers cannot do it. But one man or a newspaper, with the help oUthe wideawake men of the place, all pulling together, can make a wide difference in a place. Every man who succeeds in a town is a help to it. The more money he makes, if he spends it, all the better for the community. The larger business he holds up, the more he advertises, the more attention is called to the town. A town cannot build up without helping the country. The interest of one is the interest of all. AVe have known personally of a flourishing factory at LaPorte, Ind., paying good wages to its employes, that was ruined and closed because the manufacturing of the same kind of goods was begun in the Michigan City penitentiary where the contractors hired labor from the state at 45 cents a day.—Gen. Packard in New Albany Tribune. And many a manufacturing institution, once in a flourishing condition, can tell the same sad tale of ruin, caused by the competition of prison labor. A few things may perhaps be said in favor of the present system of prison labor but many more can be said against it. It is an evil that should be downed. The South Bend Times truly says that “the death of Mrs. D. AV. Green, of Ligonier, will be deeply lamented by the newspaper fraternity of Northern Indiana. Mrs. Green, for years, made it a point to attend the meetings of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association, of which she was made an honorary member at Kendallville several years since. She was personally ac- ' quainted with all of the newspaper people of Northern Indiana, and held in high esteem by all who had an opportunity of becoming familiar with her unceasing efforts to cultivate a spirit of mutual regard and cordiality. Mrs. Green was a woman of far more than ordinary intelligence and ability, ■and was a great lover of the higher type of periodicals and books.”

Oct. 24, Hon. Whitelaw Reid and C. M.Depew will be the leading orators at a mammoth Republican demonstration to be held at Indianapolis. Reduced fares on all railroads for this occasion, Henry Watterson, the noted Kentucky journalist, delivered the oration at the dedication of the World’s Fair on 1 riday. He is as eloquent and able as an orator as he is brilliant, incisive and logical when wielding the editorial pen. Operator Barker of the Santa Fe forged Chief Ramsey’s name, the other day, and 2,000 operators quit work, the entire line being tied up for several hours. Operator Barker was in a facetious mood, it seems, and cut up this caper just for a little joke. Railroad section laborers are commencing to organize themselves into unions for the mutual protection and advancement of their interests. They certainly have grievances which should receive earnest consideration. They perform more labor in proportion to the pay received than any other class of railroad employes. The national World’s Fair commission at their Tuesday’s session discussed the Sunday-closing question and adopted a resolution favoring Sunday closing. Their decision was, perhaps, influenced to some extent by the action of congress in this matterThis decision, however, is not final, and such an avalanche of protest and sentiment from the people against Sunday closing may be brought to bear with such force upon congress that that body may yet deem it expedient to repeal the legislation of the last session.

The republican rally at Knox last Saturday was a mammoth demonstration. The parade was so long that the streets of Knox afforded insufficient room for it. It is said to have been about three miles long. Delegations from every township in Stark county, and a number from adjoining counties, joined in the procession, which was headed by four or five cornet bands. The speakers of the day were Hons Alark L. DeMotte, J. $. Dodge and Aaron Jones. The day was a brilliant success and reflected credit upon the wide-awake republicans of Stark county. M. E.
