The latest news from the Three I is rather indefinite, yet somewhat reassuring. Landlord Nichols, of the Florence hotel, heard from Chief Engineer Woodruff about a week ago, and the latter said he thought that, as soon as the weather would permit, they would begin work on the extension from Knox to South Bend. Joseph Aman and family moved to South Chicago this week, where they expect to reside permanently. Mr. Aman has a new and commodious house which he recently built at Cheltenham, within a five minutes ride by street car to the world’s fair grounds. People desiring pleasant rooms during the great exposition will find good accommodations at Mr. Aman’s. On Thursday of last week a pleasant social event took place at the hospitable home of Mrs. Elizabeth Rensberger, of near this place, in which quite a number of friends and neighBSrs participated, enjoying themselves in quilting and in a general social way. A fine dinner was served. Those present were as follows: Mrs. Charles Arnold, Mrs. Jane Cripe, Mrs. Stover, Mrs. George Pommert, Mrs. William Bellinger, Mrs. J. Hostetter, Mrs. Mary Rensberger, Mrs. M. Frank, Mr. and Mrs. John Witwer, Chas. Witwer. In speaking of a former Walkerton minister the Bristol Banner says: “Rev. J. S. Cain, of the M. E. church, has gone to conference at Mishawaka, and in consequence no services will be held at the church next Sabbath. Rev. Cain has fared well in Bristol, for whereas he came here a disconsolate widower he leaves the head of an interesting family, and with his salary paid in full. He preached his farewell sermon here Sunday morning and shook hands with his congregation in the evening. He will go from here with hearty good wishes for his success in his new field.”

Isaac Reamer’s suit against the B. & O. railroad company for injuries received to his hand over a year ago, has been thrown out of court on account of a technicality. J . Dr. Denaut has been appointee B. , &O. surgeon on the Chicago division , in place of Dr. Reece, resigned. The commission is held jointly by Drs. Ar- , lington and Denant. A fine Easter dinner was served at the Hotel Fry last Sunday. The menu was excellent and would have been a credit to most city hotels. Fifty-six were seated at the tables. A swell ball was held at North Liberty Thursday evening. There was a good attendance and the music was first-class. Several attended from this place and report a fine time. I have a complete stock of hand made harness, single and double, and will not be undersold. Call and see them at my new harness shop.

Elder Peter Hummer and wife moved to-day to LaPaz, where the elder will preach every Sabbath for the Baptist denomination. Possibly a new Baptist church will be built there in the near future. The elder is an old wheel-horse in the ministry, having been an ordained minister over sixty years. Grandmother Ross, residing four miles east of this place, fell down a flight of stairs last Wednesday and received severe injuries. The attending physician, Dr. Arlington, says there were no bones broken, and that the chances for her recovery .are good at this time, notwithstanding her advanced age—Bl years. The Hoosier Boy Orator entertained a fair sized audience in Bender’s opera house on Friday evening of last week. The subject on which he spoke was “The Inequality of the People.” The little fellow is eight years old and no bigger than a minute, but he possesses wonderful natural gifts as an orator. His gestures were just about perfect, his bearing good and the inflections of his voice were invariably proper. He is certainly a wonder. Nliss Lulu Strang sang a piece from the stage w’hich was nicely rendered. Louis DeCoudres has exchanged his old Cleveland Bay for another stallion of the same stock, called Baron of Oakland. It is a handsome animal and but three years old. This is the first horse trade that Mr. DeCoudres ever made, although he is over fifty years old and has handled horses for quite a number of years. He always has fine stock in his stables, True Type and Hero, both Clydes, being fine specimens of their kind. His trotting colt Elector K., is a brother of Edwin C-, whose record is 2:15. Speaking of the Northern Indiana M. E. conference, now in session at Mishawaka, the Enterprise pays that body the following tribute: “The Northern Indiana conference has had ’ a wonderfully brilliant history from 1 the time of its birth. Planted in this ’ soil at a day when the w’est was a wilI derness, its preachers are among the bravest of the brave pioneers who blazed the way for the teaming milli ions who were to build up the garden : spot of the nation. With song and shout and prayer they in log houses and churches and in the great eamp- ’ meetings laid the foundation for 3 what has grown to be one of the most . prosperous conferences in the connecr tion. It has sent forth some of the 3 grandest men that Methodism has had in the yerrs gone by, while the oratorical and business ability of the memf bers of the present time takes no 1 second place with that of any other 1 conference. As these old heroes of j the cross meet and tell and hear the reminiscences of the years gone by, of e the conflicts and victories, their gaths ering is not unlike that of a reunion [ of soldiers.”

The Wolfenbarger livery barn has added two handsome surreys to its outfit. The Indiana Music Teachers’ Association will meet at LaPorte June 27 to 30, inclusive. Why not buy your shoes of T. J. Wolfe? You can save 10 to 25 per cent by doing so. Will pasture horses and cattle for the entire season of 1893 for $2 per head. D. W. Place. Charles Cudney, who recently came here from Kansas, has purchased Chas. J. Sweezey’s property in the east part of town. T. J. Wolfe buys his hats by the case lot; that is the reason you can buy them at fifty cents to a dollar cheaper of him than any other place. The town election will take place Monday, May 1. The officers to be elected this year are one trustee for the Third ward, a marshal, clerk and treasurer. . Meri Sutherland, seven year 4d son - of John Sutherland of Tyner, died on Thursday of last week, due to exposure in getting his feet wet in the creek at that place the day prior to his death. Rev. Snyder conducted the funeral services at Tyner last Saturday- ~ Mrs. Witmer, who resided five miles northeast of North Liberty, near Sumption prairie, died on Tuesday last and was buried on Thursday from the Early German Baptist church, Rev.

B. church, performed the ceremony, Miss Ella Dare acting as bridesmaid and Mr. O'Connor, brother of the bride, as best man. A wedding dinner was served, which is said to have been fine, and judging from the delicious lot of cake presented the Independent, we know it must have been. The happy couple were made the recipients of many elegant and useful presents, such as a large clock, table linen, napkins, silver knives and forks, spoons, a large collection of dishes, bed spread, bread board throws, and many other useful articles.
