Jnikpcnircnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA. APRIL 1, 1893. W. A. ENDbEY, Editor. Liquor will be sold at 85 places on the world's fair grounds. There are now 30,(IWO idle workmen in Chicago and the number is still increasing. The situation will be still worse after the close of the world's fair. Dr. Samuel S. Tern, a prominent physician and citizen of Rochester, died on Monday of last week. lie represented Miami and Fulton counties in the state senate in 1864. The Chicago Inter Ocean celebrated its twenty-first birthday by issuing a sixty page paper last Saturday. It was the largest edition ever printed in that city of leading newspapers. The Bristol Banner, which enlarged recently to a six column quarto*, is to be reduced to its old size. The Banner is not receiving the support, from the business men of Bristol that it deserves. This season of the year, when the sap is going up into the branches, is said to be a poor time to trim trees. Wait until the leaves are just putting out and your trees will be in no danger of injury.

The anti-prize lighting bill, which has passed the California legislature and now awaits the governor’s signature to become a law, has practically killed professional pugilism on the Pacific coast. The golden state is setting a good example for the nation to follow. No law for the improvement of roads was passed by the late legislature, although a number of good ones were brought before the assembly. The defeat of these bills was due principally to the opposition of the farming constituency—the very people road legislation would have benefitted more than any other one class. Ex-President Harrison will be tend ered the presidency of the Bloomington, Ind., university. The position would require but a limited portion of his time. In the event of his aceep tance, the ex-president will be conspicuously identified with two great institutions of learning.

The daily edition issued by the Enterprise during the M. E. conference at Mishawaka this week was bright and newsy, mid contained full reports of the proceedings of the conference and biographical sketches of a number of leading divines w 10 were in attendance. The paper was a six-column folio and a credit to its publishers. The Walkerton Independent tells of a man breaking setting hens 1 y placing frozen snow balls in the shape of eggs under her. This may go down in the huckleberry region but hens u[ this way set mostly in warm weather. —New Carlisle Gazette. We stand corrected, Bro. Fountain. You have the best of us on that. We never were much on hens, nohow. Some newspapers have taken to esti mating the cost of a week’s stay at the world's fair. No estimate can be ex act, but the necessary cost will range from $25 to S4O per week, according to the tastes, economical habits and desire for comfort of the individual. The cost for man and wife will not be quite double these figures, but a couple who are compelled to have rooms, board and all the incidentals will find the cost from $35 to S6O per week of seven days. Last week in a brief editorial the Independent condemned the Sam Jones style of preaching, and a few people here imagined we had reference to Rev. Cummings, of Huntington, who is assisting Rev. Snyder in the protracted meetings at the U. B. church. In explanation we will say that when the article was written, on Monday evening of last week, we did not even know that Rev. Cummings was in town, nor had we ever beard him preach; in short we knew nothing about the gentleman. If Rev. Cummings is not of the Sam Jones type, of preacher, as we are pleased to be informed he is not, then the inference of those people that the article in question alluded to him was very farfetched, and not only did the reverend gentleman an injustice but was showing an unfairness toward the Independent. This paper has no desire to assume the role of a critic in religious matters, but in conclusion will say that it is decidedly “forninst” loud-mouthed, vulgar preaching, and as a public journal reserves the privilege of expressing its senti-; merits on that question whenever it! feels so disposed.

Cn 'er the m w law t< wnship assessors receive a salary of $2 a day with no allowances for extra work. 'The' county assessor get $3 a day. Samuel E. Morss, editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, has been appointed consul to Paris. Morss was an original Cleveland man, and fought through thick and thin for his favorite. Col. Elliot F. Sheppard, editor of the New York Mail and Express, is dead. Now after Sam Allerton is through running for mayor what will the editor of the Chicago Mail do for something to write about? The Dr.'Miles Medical Co., of Elkhart, have moved their manufactory to Chicago. ’The business of the company has reached such large proportions as to demand a more central and conspicuous local ion than Elkhart. The project of starting a newspaper at the thriving little town of Wakarusa has fallen through. Wakarusa should not go begging for a newspaper. From reports, it would be an excellent field lor the right kind of a newspaper man. The new town of Ashley on the Wabash extension claims a population of 500. The town is sure of the Wabash shops, and confidently looks forward to a population of 5,000 within a short time. One newspaper, the Times, is published there.

> At Elkhart in Justice Theis’ court, 3 the other day, Estella Baker filed an . affidavit against, her husband, Frank ; Baker, charging assault and battery. . The peculiarity of the case was the . youthfulness of the couple. The hus- > hand was 1G and the wife 15 years old. Says the Indianapolis Journal: “Anybody of clergymen that calls Sam Jones to Indiana to take part in a religious service after the Kokomo experience will be guilty of something that is not far from irreligion. With intelligent people Colonel Ingersoll is less harmless to religion than is Sam Jones.” Indianapolis has voted an appropriation of $75,000 to entertain the (1. A. B. encampment. The city, since the state legislature refused to appropriate funds for the encampment, was compelled to do smoothing Ar its. If. I'he encampment is an Indianapolis affair of which that city will derive the benefits and glory, and it is no part, of the state's duty to furnish funds to defray the expenses of the affair. Prof. Totten continues to theorize on the millenium. He believes that we are actually in the midnight hour and the parable of the ten virgins is about to be fulfilled, and the golden age of a thousand years of peace will be ushered in next September. "The clock," said the professor, “is still striking: the tenth stroke will end its sounding at the coming March equinox, the eleventh in June, and the twelfth or final stroke, at the September equinox of the current year. After that none of the virgins need be in doubt as to the ‘time,’ or as to what or who is at hand.” “Many facts,” he says, "assures me that we are at the midnight hour of the Christian dispensation, and I am sure that the seventh angel of the Savior's revelation to St. John is soon to sound the seventh trumpet and final trumpet, which lifts the veil from the mystery of God, but which is not to be confused with the ‘final trump,’ as commonly understood. In spite of misrepresentations to the contrary, I do not anticipate the end of the world, hut the beginning of a new* and better dispensation. I anticipate a crisis ‘tomorrow’ and millenium ‘the day after.’ L expect the first resurrection very soon but not the second until a thousand years of golden age have sped away.” SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES. What is pleasanter to behold than a man or woman growing into old age with a contented, happy spirit. By the way. what is more disagreeable to hearthan young people speaking of elderly people as “Old So-and-so?" Everybody will reach the. age of “Old So-and-so,” if they live long enough, and when the situation is reversed, the unpleasantness of the term will come home.—Warsaw Indianian-Republi-can.

The public should not credit any of ihe rumors published by newspapers or given circulation by idle gossip mongers concerning the appoint merit of postmasters ior the thirteenth congressional district. As soon as a rec ommendation is approved by the post master-general or his assistants the announcement will be published in the local newspaper where the candidate resides, and until that time no in form ati on concern ing appointments of postmasters will be made public except where the candidate is chosen by democratic voters. So says Congressman Conn—Elkhart Truth.
