Sufficient money has been raised to celebrate the 4th in Walkerton, and a good program is now being prepared for the occasion. There will be bicycle, horse and foot racing, and other amusements, with a grand finale of tire works in the evening. Services at the M. E. church next Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Goss will have for his morning subject, “The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.” Following the sermon the ordinance of baptism will be administered to such as are applicants for baptism by sprinkA change in the hardware firm of

Ross, Bose & McDaniel was made this week, Sam Ross buying Jim McDaniel’s interest, and Ed Bose selling to William Jarrell, of Stillwell. The style of the firm is now Ross & Jarrell. Ed and Jim will retain their interest in the agricultural implements until the season closes. A young farmer drove to town on Friday morning of last week with the ostensible purpose of working the roads. He hitched his team on the street before 7 o’clock in the morning, but forgot all about his team and work, he having become very much interested in buying a bicycle, which he was needing very badly. His team stood there nearly all day without feed or water, when some one taking pity on the poor horses unhitched and fed them. In the meantime the young farmer was gracefully spinning around town testing the qualities of the bicycle he was about to buy. “Japan, its politics, religion and customs of the people,” was the subject of a most interesting lecture at the M. E. church last Monday evening. The lecturer is a native of Japan and a graduate of DePauw university, this state. The lecturer was dressed in his native costume and in the course of his talk showed and explained many interesting and curious Japanese relics. All who attended were charmed with the quaint, witty and bright manner in which the lecturer protrayed the

characteristics of his unique and in- I ' teresting countrymen. I If the great huckleberry marsh, lo- I cated four miles from this place, never again grows up it will be a distinct gain for Walkerton. Our citizens will shed no tears if the fire which burned it down about two years ago destroyed it for all time. Walkerton is not now, nor never was, dependent in the least upon huckleberries for its subsistence. The marsh has been an absolute blight to the town, for Walkerton has had to shoulder the stigma created there by the toughs and thugs from South Bend, LaPorte, Plymouth and other surrounding towns. May the time come when this place will no longer rest under the ban of the great marsh, and certain funny newspapers cease to allude to Walkerton as “huckleberry town.”

He returned home Thursday, accompanied by his wife and son Fred, who have been visiting here for several weeks. Mr. Cook is greatly pleased with the west and his work. He has a carage of four appointments, and during his pastorate of 33 months there reports 211 conversions. An annoying typographical error ocenred in last week's Independent in the notice of Rev. Goss' baccalaureate sermon which was clipped from the Rochester Republican. The mistake, of course, was not noticed until the papers were all printed. Had it been one of a less harrowing nature it would have been readily discovered in proof without any trouble. The mistake was in setting the word “complicated” instead of “complimented.” It is such mistakes as the above that cause so many editors to wear false hair long before their time. AT THE ALTAR. A quiet, pretty home wedding at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Rogers, Thursday afternoon at five o’clock, was that in which Maude, their only daughter, became the wife of J.

Newspaper editors have to be very careful in opening their columns fore statements. But aware that tne Dr. Miles Medical Co. are responsible, we give room to the following testimonial from R. McDougall, Auburn, Ind , who for two years noticed a stoppage of skipping o the pulse, his left side got so tender he could not lie on it, his heart fluttered, he was alarmed, went to different doctors, got no relief; but one bottle of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure cured him. The elegant books, “New and Startling - Facts,” free at J. Endly’s tells all about ■ Heart and Nervous Diseases and the wonderful cures,

ENOUGH’ We move that, the Bremen Enquirer be given the belt for the champion snake story. Last week that paper, with a most solemn and plausible face, told of a reptile being frightened out of the Lake of the Woods by a party of Bremen fishermen, and that the monster ran across a marsh to the railroad track, where it got onto a flat ear and was resting when its pursuers overtook it. There was nothing very remarkable about this, but just listen what the Enquirer goes on to relate: “Just as the train started forward the reptile was on the last car that was attached to the train and was just crawling over onto the next to the last car standing on the siding. He had gotten perhaps four or five feet - onto the other car when the distance between the cars began tv widyn and the to gink do

tween cars. In a twinkling a swish was heard and on looking up it was seen that he had coiled his tail around the break rod of the car from which he I was crawling and that his body clung to the bottom of the other carso tightly that the two detached cars were being pulled along as rapidly as the now fast moving train. The train had gotten past the water tank by this time and nearly to the depot, or to be more ' exact it had reached the river bridge west of the depot when all at once the : tail seemed to uncoil and the cars to ! stop moving. The train went on and the reptile’s body was slipped off onto the ground. There being a grade west from where the detached cars stopped ! they of course began moving west again dragging about twenty or twentylive feet of the snake over the ties. The front } art of the snake still chin to the car but it was plainly seen that the reptile was dead. The cars moved west until they came to a standstill near the old stave factory. The crowd of fishers now made an investigation and found that the monster was dead, having its back broken by the terrible strain of the weight of the two cars it had been pulling along. It was found to have four legs about eight inches in length with six claws on each leg. These claws had been sunk into the soft pine flooring of the flat car and explained the cause of the cars moving along without being coupled onto the train. In fact the monster had acted as a ooupliug between the train , and detached ears but had its Spinel broken in so doing. The reptile was! measured and found to measure exactly 35 feet 5|- inches in length and 14 inches in diameter at the largest part.”
