Sljc JiiikpcniUnt. Walkerton, Indiana, july 15, 1393. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. John C. New is booming Harrison for president in 1896. « The salary of the postmaster of Elkhart lias been increased from $2,700 to $3,100, and that of Warsaw to $3,G00 ct year* What are known as “dog days" are so called because it is the time of year ^hen Sirius (known as the dog star) rises for several successive weeks at pearly the same tipw with the sun. “Dog days" are placed by an Ameucap authority between July 25 and September 5. In Ghina^ it is said, a traveler wishing for a passport is compelled to have the palm of his hand brushed over with tine oil paint; he then presses his hand ami thin damp paper, which retains an impression of the lines. This is used to prevent transference of the passport, 31s the lines of no two hands are alike. New York, which has always been the metropolis of America, must yield the palm to Chicago. The new directory just issued in New York shows a population of 1,500,000, while Chicago's new’ directory represents a population of 2,160,000, making the latter .city the metropolis of America. An exchange says one-third of the fools of the country think they can beat a lawyer in expounding the law, one-half of them think they can beat a doctor healing the sick, two-thirds of them think they can put the minister in the bole in preaching the gospel, and all of them think they can beat an editor running a newspaper. President Cleveland's call for a special session of congress Aug. 7 lends new cheer and encouragement to the business interests of the country. Anything is better than doubt, and when a settled tariff and financial ' policy will have finally been decided ■ upon the present stringency will no ' doubt be relieved and the country be blessed with a better state of allairs. There seems to be a growing sentiment throughout the country in favor of permitting national banks to issue xxoLon t.o Wo GxxAl nmownt. o€ Uudr vn curities instead of 90 per cent of the same, as is now the case. It is argued by the advocates of this idea that such a. measure would add considerably to the circulating medium or the country and tend to relieve the present stringency in money matters. The Indiana supreme court holds that when a train is approaching a highway crossing and the engineer sees a horse frightened and being checked by its driver, it is not negli gence for him to refuse to blow’ the whistle in obedience to the statute, but it is negligence if he fails to check the speed of the train when he sees the traveler in imminent peril, but instead wilfully and carelessly increases it. Gov. Mathews is in a sort of pickle. He would like .to put a stop to the prize fighting at Roby but is powerless to do so on account of the McHugh law, which permits sparring with gloves. It is rumored, but with what truth it is hard to say, that the governor is thinking seriously of calling an extra session of the legislature to consider the feasibility of repealing this law. The following good story is floating around among our exchanges: A girl recently found a package of love letters written by her father to her mother before they were married. The daughter read them to her mother, pretending they were from recent date and substituting her oiyp nama Lh’ rhat^ol JPnr imitunYTTrn tnc h.im.~ ..f a young man known to both of them for that of her father. The mother was very much disgusted, and has forbidden her daughter to have anything to do with the young man who would write such nonsense and sickening stuff. Here is i true blue American who deserves ’he sincere respect of every patriotic citizen of this republic. Judge Hindman, of lowa, is the man, and the act for which he is receiving so much praise was in refusing to naturalize a Dane who was otherwise qualified but when asked if in case of war between the United States and Denmark he would light against his native land, replied that he would not. “Then your application is refused,” paid the judge. “The time lias arrived when no person will be aided in this court to become a citizen unless he is willing to stand by this government under all circumstances and at all times." Would that we had on guard jspre such men as Judge Hindman.

CAPSIZED ON KOONTZ S LAKE. Narrow Escape of Two Sailors fpom Drowning-—Saved fry the Gallant Life Saving Crew. Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock two members of the Lake Grove Club, viz., Andrew Rehm, the president, and Phillip Wetzell, secretary of the club, thought they would enjoy a sail on the lake in the brand new' Clipper which Mr. Wetzell brought to the lake from Chicago for the express purpose of entertaining his friends. On this occasion the two gentlemen decided to show their skill as sailors, and hoisting their sails started upon the voyage. When 100 feet away from shore a gust of wind caught them amtdship and our two noble sailors were soon struggling manfully in the water. Neither being swimmers their situation was rather perilous, but the gallant life saving crew, ever alert and ready to face the worst when danger menaces their fellow-men, had “cases” on the two sailors, and took in the condition of things at a glance. To man the life boatand push out for the rescue was but the work of a moment. Soon the crew had reached the spot where the tw’o sailors were struggling, and after saving what was left of the gentlemen, returned to shore. The entire loss resulting from the disaster was one rubber boot and one lone frog. The life saving crew’ consisted of the following gentlemen: Messrs. G. Lohman, J. Lobstein, A.Muns, E. Fhrgott, A. D. Miller. Wm. Loutz, A. Sontag and Theo Lobstein. The members enjoyed (he set up of Mpssrs. Rehm and Wetzel at the German village adjoining the club house. The following are those who spent Sunday at the club house: G. 11. Lohman, wife and daughter; Nirs. Louise Dehnhard, E. 11. Gosewuch and wife, Harry Gosewisch and sister, I Mr. Wetzell and wife, Misses Leonora. I Annie, Lillie and Mr. Walter Wetzell, Chas. Hanke, wife and daughter, August ytiller and son, Ferd Miller, wife, two sons and daughter, Andrew Rehm, Andrew Dressel, 1 Misses Lulu and Emma Dressel, i Adolf Sontag and wife, E. E.

A MILLION DOLLAR LIBRARY In Easy Reach of Every Heme—Cost One Cent a Day. •»< qw uvu.) uj iui» , item will strike eyery one, ut first .sight, as incredible, or amazing. When the simple explanation shows how easy it is to make it true, the amazement 1 will be that it was not done long ago. The Ameriean Cooperative Library has recently been organized, with a view to seeming to every book reader in America better facilities than are now enjoyed outside of the reach of less ; than ten of the largest libraries in the 1 prinmpal_citieH, as follows: r You pay into a local Cooperative ) Book Club, which may consist of two ' j or two hundred members, an initiation lof any sum you please, from SI.OO to ? ■ SIO.OO. You are then entitled to rej I ceive immediately from the Library । any books wanted from the entire realm ” of the world’s current literature, suit e able for general circulation, to an I amount not exceeding in cash value the amount of the initial payment. These books, any or all of them, you can retain as long as you please, or return as • soon as you please, in exchange for - other books from the Library of equal s value, by paying an additional charge ; lof one cent a day for the use of each dollar’s worth of books. 1 As thousands of the best bocks of t the world are now to be had at a cost . of 25 cents to 50 cents each, the read ing of good books thus costs next to nothing; a 25 cent book costs but one ■ cent for four days, a 50-centbook costs 5 one cent for two days. If you want high priced books, or many books, you get them and pay in proportion. ; When books received by the local 1 Book Club from the main Library are ' no longer wanted. they 1 ’ the headquarters in New York and ex- ' changed for other books of equal value (and are sent out to some other local Club), less a charge one cent a day for each two dollar’s worth of books —half the plica paid by members to their ' local Book Chib; the difference will pay cost of transportation, a local li brurian, if one is wanted, or may be divided as profits among the members of the local Club. You see how simple and easy cooperation on a large scale makes the whole matter. Who, that cares for good 1 j books, is too poor to pay one cent a j day for unlimited access to the world’s current literature? Yet millions of inj telligent readers are to day pratically without library facilities because such a plan mis not been adopted before. A catalogue of choice books, IGO pages. > j may be had by any applicant for a 2J cent stamp; members are not limited . ' to this, but may order any book in current literature. Address The Ameri- \! can Cooperative Library, John B. 1 Aiden, Manager, 57 Hose St., New I York. Every lover of good books j ought to join this Cooperative Library i movement.
