Burlingame, an old resident of Lal’orte county, who had an overpowering desire to take a peep at the golden streets of the New Jerusalem, tried to get there the other day by the laudanum route, but the prompt work

of physicians prevented him from doing so. The following from the New Albany i Ledger is in. accordance with our views j of the matter: “Some persons seem : to have an idea that it is the duty of a J newspaper to spy out infractions of the law and publish the names of the violators. This is not the province of a newspaper. It is not a detective, it is not an officer of the law. Grind juries, prosecuting attorneys, police-T-nun and nthpr officers of the law can

men ana omer oihccib 01 me van and probably will look after the matter. The Ledger and other newspapers do their whole duty when they call public attention to such matters.” Rev. Leonard writes from Japan to friends here that he and his wife will return to this country probably in June, as their phys cian has advised \em to return on account of their fau^ health. Rev. Leonard's work as a “^ionary is only about half completed as “^went there with *■" tention of teu years. It is no doubt a greatAC ttQ hina that his health will not to finish ms work. M r - al ’\ l .

That is one of the great lessons taught by political economy’. There are persons who do not know how to waste their time alone, and hence become the scourge of busy people.—Ex. Conductor Bert Depew, of the B. & ()., had a number of his fingers mashed while unloading freight one day this week. The injury was not serious. Vai Weiss, of Chicago, is canvassing in this place for aK.of P. chart. It is a good thing, and every member of

Mrs. Prentice, wife of Rev. O. L. Prentice, of Rolling Prairie, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place, has been overtaken by a great misfortune. Her mind has become deranged. The first noticeable symptom of her insanity manifested itself about four weeks ago and she has been growing gradually worse, except an interval of a few days when she seemed quite rational. Rev. Prentice will take her to Chicago for examination. The Independent has refused three good advertising propositions from dry goods and clothing firms in neighboring towns during the past six weeks. Our reason for refusing these advertisements was that we have a good local patronage, and so long as our columns are filled as they now are with home advertisements we propose to give our business men the benefit of the Independent’s columns. With the exception of one firm, which began patronizing us about four years ago, when the local advertising was much less than it is now, no firms from competing towns are represented in this paper, nor will they be so long as our merchants appreciate in a substantial way the value of the Inde-

— ~ - — ~ pendent as an advertising medium. The rNwccKNORNT alms to fortify its readers against all slick swindlers j who prey upon the people. The latest i j swindle is the following which is exI posed by the Indianapolis Sentinel. The people of Northern Indiana are being worked by an alleged guarantee investment company, which claims to have headquarters somewhere in Missouri and offices in Chicago. The scheme of the company is to secure ap-

plications from the people for the bonds of the company which cost $lO per thousand to carry, besides an installment of $1.25 each month until the bond is redeemed. The company works on the “grave-yard” insurance plan and offers big inducements to those who secure bonds, with no chance whatever of fulfilling its promises. It is a pledge of something for nothing, but judging from various portions of the northern part of the state .<<»B«wrßWßrarWTsFplenty of “suckers” to bite at it. The company’s latest work has been in and around Columbia City, where a number of people have . been swindled. It is not a legitimate concern and its agents are subject to arrest wherever they may be found at i tempting to confidence the public.

True Type and Hero, the celebrated Clydes, and Baron of Oakland, the Cleveland Bay, together with the tine young trotter, Elector K, are worth the attention of horsemen and others who admire fine horse flesh. These horses can be seen at any time at the stables of Louis DeCoudres. The Muncie Herald utters a solemn truth by saying : The man who will j not keep a business obligation with a fellowman, comes very mar being lost to all the common decencies of life. When you can not put any dependence in a promise made, you have but little . further use for the man who made the promise. The fact is, the stabilily of I the business world depends on men | keeping their obligations.
