The tramps are now making their annua) pilgrimage to their winter , quarters in the cities, and are begging and steal in st ■» looKout lor them and don’t encourage *them in their indolence by giving them gratuitous “hand-outs.” Walkerton pdople who were in Chicago last week speak in enthusiastic terms of the magnitude, magnificence and beauties of the Columbian celebration and dedication of the World’s Fair. It was an event which, in point of greatness and grandeur, was never before paralleled in the. history of this country and perhaps will not be again for many years to come. In this issue of the Independent will be found an announcement of a road congress to be held in Indianapolis Dec. 6,7 and 8. Don’t fail to read it. The road question is one of so much vital importance to the general prosperity that it is well worthy the attention and best thought of the people. A good representation from this locality should attend the congress. A fight occurred on the L. E. & W. north bound passenger train Saturday evening between the trainmen and several drunken fellows from Tyner who were returning from the democratic rally at Plymouth. One of the latter was driven from the ladies’ car with a bloody head and the fight was resumed in the smoking car. Conductor O’Brien used his lantern with good effect, it being smashed into pieces. The Ligonier Leader says: “Two freight trains came together on the B. & O. road, east of Auburn, one day last week, causing a bad wreck. Chas. Heuthorne, a brakeman, was in one of the engines when they came together. He was caught between the tender and cab, and pinned fast, so that his legs had to be cut off in order to release him. He had his limbs cut off three times. First, the heavy iron of the tender ground them apart, and in trying to free him from his perilous position it was found necessary to take them off again. After he was conveyed to Mr. Provines’ house Dr. Thompson made the third amputation which was necessary to give the man a chance for his life. At this writing the gentleman is still alive. While this was going on he called for a pencil and paper and wrote to his wife. Dr. Thompson said Henthorne had more nerve than any uian he ever met before.”

Barbecue N >v. 3. Ladies’ plush cloaks $9 at Noah I Rensberger’s. * Miss Hutchings sells gents’ watches । from $7 to $75. The democratic rally at Plymouth [ on Saturday was largely attended and , a great success. t There was a partial eclipse of the , sun Oct. 20. The moon also became i new on that date. Remember T. J. Wolfe handles the New Brunswick rubber boots and shoes, the best there is on the market. There will be several bands here on barbecue day, among them being bands from LaPorte, South Bend, Plymouth and North Liberty, besides our own organization. Hon. James T. Johnson, Hon. Pat O’Donnell, Col. J. S. Dodge and Aaron Jones will be the speakers here on barbecue day, Nov. 3. They are all good speakers. Ten days clearing sale in gents’ neckwear, collars and cuffs.

The land known as Coquillard park, at South Bend, which Mr. Coquillard donated to the city for a park on certain conditions, will probably be deeded back to the heirs. The city has failed to comply with its part of the conditions and the heirs now ask the council that the deeds be returned to them.' The conundrum banquet given by the Woman's Relief Carps in Bender’s hall on Friday evening of last week was well attended and a pleasant occasion. The receipts of the evening were about twenty dollars. The bill of fare was indeed a conundrum, but after the hungry and puzzled guest had once fathomed its mysteries he was amply rewarded for his trouble with a savory and most excellent supper. A brakeman on the B. & O. was badly cut up in a recent wreck east of Garrett. It was the young man’s first trip. Both his legs were cut off above the knee and one of his arms was mashed. Immediately after the accident, with remarkable nerve, he called for a pencil and paper to write his wife a letter. It was believed at the time of fiie accident that he could not live but a short time but it is said that

he is now getting along remarkably I well. a?Ainbiir ivutA J amts "Phiiliber, ^of Elkhart, Ind., passed down the river on their wav to the Gulf of Mexico yesterday, a distance of 2,025 miles by water. They left Elkhart on Oct. 5, in a row boat 10 feet long and 11 inches deep, running down the St. Joe river to South Bend. There they went overland to the Kankakee river, down which they go to the Illinois, then to the Mississippi and the Gulf. They made a successful trip to Cairo last year, and expect to go farther this year and to eat Christmas dinner at home. —Momence, (111.) Reporter. The LuPorte Argus says a young marrieu farmer living near Lake Station went into his well to fix the curbing when the earth caved in and buried him about fifteen feet deep. His wife was visiting one of the neighbors and the man was at home alone. When she came home at night she supposed her husband bad gone to town and she waited patiently for him until a late hour. She then aroused the neighbors and expressed fears that something serious had happened to the man but they could not solve the mystery until one of them went to the well the next morning ami found it caved in. A search resulted in timing the body as above indicated, but it was evident the man had been dead for several hours. A factory that would employ steadily the year round from 50 to 100 hands would increase the value of real estate in Walkerton from fifteen to twenty-five per cent; the population would be increased all the way from 300 to 500; every line of business would be re-invigorated with new life blood; water works and electric lights would naturally and easily follow, and in short, Walkerton would be the town it ought to be—one of the liveliest and best in northern Indiana—were such an enterprise as above indicated to be established here. With grand railroad facilities, good farming country surrounding it and a large territory, almost equal in size to a county, contributary to it, what is to hinder Wak erton front becoming a town off» ! 2,500 to 3,000 population within next five years, providing our cit band themselves together and ex 1 vigorous and intelligent effort t securing manufacturing industri other public improvements?

Prospective Weather. Prophet Foster’s last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm waves to cross the continent from 24th to 28th, and the next will reach the Pacific coast about the 29th, cross the western mountains by the close of the 30th, the great central valleys from October 31st to November 2d and the eastern states about November 3d. This will be a severe storm and at its greatest force while crossing the Mississippi valley. An electrical storm will probably accompany this disturbance causing many difficulties in the telegraphic service. This electric storm will probably be at its greatest force about November 4th or sth. The cold wave will cross the Western mountains about November Ist, the great central valleys about the 3d, and the eastern states about the sth. p • The Coming Road Congress. i . The Commercial Club, of Indianapolis, has sent the Independent a notice announcing a road congress to be held in the above city Dec. 6,7 and 8, 1892. This meeting will be ior the purpose of bringing together interested representatives of all parts of the state to take steps toward establishing a better system of road making in Indiana. The-congress will consider methods of work, suitability of materials, faults of the present system, needed legislation and the various practical questions involved in the road making problem, in addition to which the important benefits, commercially and socially, to be derived from good roads and streets will receive attention. The program will embrace addresses frotu people of national pn>n»lheik ; <r F thorities on the subjects to be consid- ■ ered, and opportunity will be given for such discu^m^ as w jp fully en-lighten-those desiring information. The object of the congress will be to stimulate appreciation of the importance of good roads, ami to make an j organized effort to give Indiana the j best road system in the country, which will, it is believed, more effectually than anything else that needs to be done at this time, increase its prosperity, promote its general improvement, and advance it in the good opinion of people everywhere. The congress will bt composed of delegates to be appointed by boards of county commissioners, municipal gov- j ernments, commercial organizations, agricultural societies and institutions, and such persons as may be formally invited to be present by the committee ' in charge. Township trustees will be entitled to participate in the proceed- I ings. Delegates will be expected to present credentials.
