VOLUME XVIII.

HOW IO VOTE. To vote a straight ticket, stamp Within the square containing your party’s emblem, and nowhere else. To vote a mixed ticket, stamp within the square to the left of the name of the one you want to vote for on the other ticket, and then stamp within the small square to the left of every name on your own ticket except the one you do not want to vote for. In voting a mixed ticket do not stamp within the large squares at the head of the ticket.

Use a blotter when stamping your ticket, as any unnecessary marks will invalidate it. Fold it so the initials of the poll clerk will be outside. Observe these rules and your ballot will go through all o. k. Circuit court at South Bend adjourned on Wednesday of last week. Ben Butler, as was the custom of the late Samuel J. Tilden, always lifts his hat when he casts his vote. Rev. Sam Small will enter the Indiana newspaper field. He has purchased a one-half interest in the Princeton Era, a prohibition paper, and will move his family from Atlanta, Ga. It has been said that the person that don't do anything believes he can do everything. I’he truth of this observation can be seen practically demonstrated in the even day course of life. The Indiana building at the World's

Fair is one of the handsomest buildings on the grounds. The average Hoosier visitor at the Fair will naturally feel a thrill of pride when he looks upon this beautiful piece of architecture. To annihilate 950 miles of space, : says the Chicago News-Record, to I bring the human voice over a thread I i of copper wire and hear its utterance I s on the instant it speaks, to be put in I personal, oral contact with your fel- L lowman 7,000 m iles awa » this at T ; ' UI twenty-five years t ago had not even heard of a tele- * phone. 1 An exchange says an Indian girl, one of the students of the Carlisle 1 school, while in New York was taken down to Ellis island and saw the swarm sos immigrants landing. She turned to a New York gentleman and said: “Your people drove us out centuries ago. Now these are coming to drive you out. If you don't make them stop coming you will be in a few centuries what my people are now.” An exchange says prejudice is not born in the bone or bred in the marrow. It is a work of education and training. Were prejudice not carefully instilled into the mind by the devil, children would naturally grow up to love, instead of hate one another. If the devil could only be abolished for one generation the scriptural injunction “Love ve one another,” could be

lUII JJVYL J VW — carried out. It is, therefore, the duty of every good, intelligent citizen to try to abolish prejudice, wherever its slimy body and dragon head appears. The Momence Rock. The Kendallville Sun says: J. B. Kimball returned from Chicago last night, where he attended the meeting of the Momence commission, to consider matters pertaining to the improvement of the Kankakee district. He informs us that a contract was iet for the work and it only lacks the signature of a bondsman to complete it and assures the completion of the job. The work

let contemplates the removal of rock from the river bed, a distance of three quarters of a mile in length, three : hundred feet wide and four feet deep. This will incur an expense of about $50,000. An impediment, in the work heretofore has been an injunction by a railroad company interested in keeping up the water to support a watering place at or near Momence. This has been compromised and the company has agreed to the cutting down as above indicated. We are not advised as to whether this will entirely drain that district or not, but it will remove the surplus water very rapidly, when the water is high and in this way at least will be of great service to that water . soaked region.

All patent medicines sold 8 cents per bottle less than any other druggist in Walkerton. J. END LY. ।

WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH WUNTLIND^^

LOCAL BRIEFS. I •- Dowell, the dentist. , A fine line of corsets at Millard’s. Call in and pay up your subscription. W hat about that novelty works? Will it be a go? Millards have the very latest styles in all kinds of millinery. A nice big boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. IV illiam IV alters on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

r Some who promised to pay us after 3 harvest perhaps had reference to no particular harvest. The South Bend Times claims that _ a gentleman now walking about their streets selected his coflin over two monts ago, believing that he must soon die. Mentone is talking electric lights. The Gazette seems to think the chances for the town getting this improvement are quite good. A movement is on foot looking to the establishment of a little factory in Walkerton. Nearly enough stock to start it has been subscribed, and it should not now be allowed to go by the board. Mrs. Harriet Talmage, a well known and highly respected lady of Westville, was killed by a B. & O. passenger ’ train at Alida one day last week while ’ she was driving over the crossing with * a horse and buggy. She was instantly 1 killed. She was a widow, 54 years 1 old and aiirvnra/] fl —~ i

viu ana is survived by five children. The Ligonier Leader observes: “A drive through the country in any direction shows that a large amount of farm machinery, plows, etc., are yet standing in the fields where last used. .Such a course brings joy to the manufacturer and implement dealer, but places mortgages on the farm and ; stock in any community. I 1 Men that are too selfish and stingy » help along public . J J ast find fault and | * that are working and trying to promote the town’s interests. The former, however, are just the kind that generally kick the highest, whether they have a kick coming or not. Walkerton has improved wonderfully within the past two or three years, many fine brick buildings and neat residences having been erected during that time. But while this is true the town is growing slowly. The increase of but a little more than one hundred inhabitants in ten years is not enough for a town with Walkerton’s advantages and natural facilities. William C. Rose will offer at public auction at his residence, two miles northeast of Walkerton near the North Liberty road, on Thursday, Nov. 10, 1892, commencing at 10 o’clock, a. in., a lot of personal property embracing, among other things, horses, cattle, wagon, buggy, farming implements and household goods. On sums over

$5 a credit of 12 months will be given the purchaser. The South Chicago Daily Republican of Oct. 27 gives the following notice of the marriage of Otto Miller, formerly of this place: “Miss Lena Peters, of Windsor Park, and Mr. Otto Miller, of this place, were united in marriage last night at 7 o’clock. The ceremony took place at the German Lutheran church, corner of Superior avenue and 91st street, and was | performed by the Rev. Mr. Farger. | The happy couple will make South Chicago their home.”

Capt. Geo. W. Bell, of lowa, spoke in Bender’s hall last Saturday afternoon to a large audience. His speech was from a democratic standpoint, and he spoke for about two hours with considerable eloquence and force, his remarks being vociferously applauded quite frequently by his enthusiastic party kin. The Plymouth glee club, which was accompanied by quite a number of the “unterrified” from that place, came down and furnished some line vocal music for the occasion. The Walkerton cornet band, prior to the speaking, played several nice selections upon the streets. Capt. Bell’s speech was quite a good one, as viewed : from the democratic cupola, and seems ; to have given much satisfaction to his j democratic hearers.

The election will be held next Tuesday. Call on Dr. Dowell for neat, substantial dental work. Do not almost kill yourself by violent purgatives. Take Simmons Regulator. ' My wife cured of malaria by Simmons Liver Regulator.- -J. N. Thomps son, Pastor M. E. church, Leigh, Neb. A drunken woman staggering along [ the street was a recent edifying scene , on one of LaPorte’sprincipal thoroughfares.

A good theatrical company would hit Walkerton about right just now. The people here are hungry for a good show. For Sale.-—One mare, 4 years old, half Norman, and one-year old colt, at a very reasonably price. A. C. Yetter. Reports come from all parts of the country of children being burned to death while burning autumn leaves. Parents can not exercise too careful a watch over their children during the period of the fail when bonfires are being made of leaves and other rubbish. The Independent is informed by Dan Fitzgerald that Walkerton is again to be made a division for the local freights on the B. & O. railroad, the change to take place Nov. 13. This arrangement will make this place the headquarters for twenty-four more railroad men—quite a little help to the town, surely.

The Indiana Farmer says the low price of wheat this fall is explained in good part, by the fact that the world’s visible supply of wheat is now the largest ever recorded at this season of the year, being in round numbers 24,000,000 bushels larger than one year a go, 40,000,000 more than two years ago, 37,000,000 bushels more than three years ago. In the rush of business last week the I born to Mr. and Mrs. Chas, bobbins {, seventh republican boy that has been born in town since last spring. The old saying about campaign year is being verified in Walkerton, at least, so far as the g. o. p is concerned. The work of laying steel rails along the line of the L. E. & W. from Indianapolis to Michigan City has been completed. The road is now in good shape, and the trains will no longer bob and rattle over that right of way and two streaks of rust like a lumber wagon over a corduroy road, but will glide along smoothly and without apparent effort, as a ghost in twilight. Seward Rinehart, who is working for the Illinois Steel campany, was here the forepart of the week unable to work, having met with quite a painful accident one day last week while working for the above company. A man standing upon a platform several feet above him while in the act of lowering a heavy steel pipe to Seward let

it drop, a distance of about five feet, striking the latter on top of the head and inflicting a severe gash. The force of the blow caused his chin to strike against the platform cutting a hole in his lip and impairing the usefulness of his lower jaw to some extent. Walter Finch, son of ex-Sheriff John Finch, while hunting with some friends at Mud Lake last Sunday met with a serious accident. As they were landing on an island in the lake : Finch’s gun was accidently discharged as he was taking it from the boat and about the entire charge of shot entered

(lUvllv uIAU VXlVirv vz O his left arm just above the wrist following closely the bone of the arm and coming out near the elbow, causing a very serious wound. Finch was hastily driven to Walkerton and L)r. Arlington, assisted by Dr. Reece, placed him under the influence of chloroform and probed for the shot, but none could be found, the most of it, if not all, perhaps, having passed out at the elbow. The wound was dressed and Mr. Finch, after resting quite comfortably during the night, was strong enough to return home Monday morn- । ing. The wound being a somewhat desperate one it is hard to tell what the outcome may be, but there is some chance of saving the arm.

A man rushed madly up the street with wild, piercing eyes issuing a frantic shriek at every jump and brandishing a gleaming pair of shears, says the Goshen News. The maniac was an exchange editor who had been compelled to read the political editorials in the rural partisan press.
