£lje JnbcpenSitnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA. JUNE 17, 1898, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Patent No. 500,000 was issued recently. According to Dunn & Co.’s weekly report the outlook for better times is encouraging. James Cordon Bennett, the New York Herald publisher, is reported in a serious condition as the result of an accident. Contrary to reports, the Chicago Inter Ocean says the world’s fair has not lost money but has yielded a profit thus far to the stockholders. Philip McCauley, one of the Lafay- , ette rioters, got off easy. He was fined SSO for participating in the riot. He was found guilty only of assault. 1 ™1!! John Parker and Edward McAfee, two colored men recently convicted of murder at Indianapolis, will be hanged at the Michigan City prison some time during the summer. The LaPorte Argus is inclined to think that “from present indications the next governor of Indiana will be a man by the name of Mortimer Nye.” । The Michigan City Dispatch is of the । same opinion. < Ex-Gov. Chase has been indicted 1 and will be tried for his connection with the recent bank failure at Green- j town, it is to be hoped that the ex- । governor will come out of the unfortu- । nate affair vindicated and unscathed ; as to his integrity of character. I For the past twelve years a measure for declaring Memorial day a legal holiday in this state has been brought before the legislature at every session, but as yet there has not been enough patriotism in the assembly to pass such a measure. — The most cheerful people in the 1 world are generally those who have the most trouble, but who have learned to live above it. However dark the way may seem to them, they are determined to cheer those with whom they associate with a sunny face. —Ex. The rapid growth of our large cities is becoming abnormal. The growth

of population is principally in the large cities, where the occupations are becoming over-crowded, and much pover tyuml distress naturally ' snoW" ' „ ~ « - •» a stare of affairs. ' J ® 1 ... o miy. Last Thursday was one of the biggest days yet held at the world's fair it being the occasion of the German celebration and the dedication of the Indiana and a few other buildings* Clem Studebaker, president of the Indiana commission, made the opening speech which was responded to by Gov. Mathews in an eloquent address. It is well enough to pause sometimes and consider the character and disposition of the person who asks you I for an accommodation that would involve some sacrifice on your part. He may be an ingrate and wholly unworthy of your friendship. It is like casting pearls before swine to favor

some people. There are persons so constituted that the more you do for them the less they will think of you. This is a strange and inexplicable phase of human nature. A dunning letter may be mailed on a postal card providing it is couched in respectful language and contains nothing of a threatening nature. According to the decision of Judge Thayer, Dec. 14, 1889, the mailable one reads: “Please call and settle account, which is long past due, and for which our collector has called several times, and oblige.” The unmailable one reads: “You owe me SIBO. We have called several times for same. If not paid at once we shall place it with our

law agency for collection.” Robert G. Ingersoll in a recent speech, i among other truisms, said-. “Here is | a shoe shop. One man in Uie shop is j always busy through the day, is always , industrious. In the evening he goes i courting some nice girl. There are i five other men in the shop that don’t' p do any such thing. They spend half their wages evenings in dissipation. The first man by and by gets a boot

and shoe store of his own. Then he ' marries the girl. Soon he is able to take his wife out riding of an evening. The five laborers, his former companions, who see him indulging in this luxury, retire to a neighboring saloon and pass resolutions that there is an eternal struggle between labor and capital.”

Governor Mathews is determined to i break up prize fighting and other lawlessness at Robey. Congressman Conn denies the allegation and defies the allegator in the $75,000 damage suit. Tom McDowell, a well known newspaper man and politician, of Peru, died suddenly the other day of heart disease. A contemporary announces the fact that the Kentucky building at the World’s Fair has a side board and a large side door. Congressman Conn has received an invitation to address the Tammany society in New York, on the occasion of a Columbian celebration on July 4. The fee and salary bill of 1891, which cut down the profits of the sheriff’s office in this state very materially, has been declared unconstitutional in a test case held in the circuit court of Marion county. Here is a pertinent question whi^h has been asked by an exchange. ■‘Does the Lord love a man who spends at a church festival the money that he owes to liis washer woman—or who owes a year's subscript ion?”

Do not train boys to learning by force and harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be the better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.—Plato. The readers of a New York literary journal have been voting on the question of which are the best ten American books. The books decided upon are , as follows: Emerson’s Essays, Haw-

thorne’s Scarlet Letter, Longfellow’s | Poems, Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Toin’s Cab-1 ( in, Dr. Holmes’ Autocrat, Irving’s Sketch Book, Lowell’s Poems, Wallace’s Ben Hur, Whittier’s Poems, and Motley’s Dutch Republic. The ancient custom of ringing the curfew has been revived in the towns । and cities of Canada. The ringing is to I take place at 9 o’clock in the evening,: and if any person under seventeen years of age is found on the streets afterwards without giving good reasons therefore, they are to be locked up by the police and treated as disorderly persons. I This custom is a very old one, but for ; several reasons is an excellent, one and 11 might be adopted everywhere with

benefit. A special from. Findlay. Qbh 1 ~ ~ final u jw. The WlfSjnent that there are six hundred empty dwellings here is said to have been verified by actual count. Further the statement is confirmed that all the 1 glass manufactures have signed an agreement to move their plants from the town not later than July Ist. It is estimated that this exodus will take 4,0J0 people from the place. Some of the manufacturersale going to different locations in Pennsylvania, but the greater number will locate in the Indiana gas fields. Rev. Father Ducey, of New York, is expressing himself quite freely re- i garding the Briggs case. He says J “I trust the ecclesiastical jury will not ' execute this man either with a rope or by electricity. Dr. Briggs, I hope, will pull through. He is a scholar and an

3 honest man, and almost the only man r practicing on the bacis principle of • Protestantism—private interpretation -of the Scripture. Catholics will not be frightened if science should knock the t bottom out of the Old Testament. W’ e } have never claimed the Bible as a rule , of faith. Biblical scholars in Catholic and Protestant churches would not contend that Moses wrote everything in the pentateuch, or that David is the sole author of the Psalms.” The press reports the death of a child in an eastern city as the result of a black spider’s bite. It must not be inferred from this single case, however, that the bite of the spider is infallibly poisonous, as it is evident that it is not,

and is never apt to prove serious except in cases were the blood of the person bitten is in a peculiarly bad condition, ' and then there are ninety-nine chances hi a hundred that it will amount to nothing. Cases of bad results or I death from this cause are too isolated ’to warrant the belief that the spider's ' bite is of a virulent nature, or even the ■ least bit poisonous to the majority of ; people. Like the sting of bees, ।

' which has been known to prove fatal,; the bite of the spider is apt to be poisi onous only in certain isolated cases. For this reason, there is no occasion for great alarm should you be bitten ' by one of thes# crafty insects, but in i such an event it would be well enough ‘ to provide against possible unpleasant L results by promptly applying properremedial agents.
