Clje Jnikpenbent WALKERTON, INDIANA, JULY 22, 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The governor of Colorado has been heard from. He declares for free Silver or b-e-l-u-d. Judge J. S. Daly, of Hartford City, has been appointed judge of the state supreme court in place of Judge Olds, resigned. The glory of I^ouisiana as (he prize fighters’ paradise seems to have suddenly been transferred to the fair state wf Indiana. Mighty is Roby. A movement is on foot among capitalists, railroad companies and some .of the leading exhibitors to have the world's fair at Chicago continued another year. JJIJJL J JJLB.SSBSS! Times are evidently getting better, as there seems to be fewer banks dwigginsing at present. This is a hopeful sign. A number of the banks which dwigginsed several weeks ago have resumed operations, which is another encouraging indication. The Michigan City News is making arrangements to build itself a new home. It will be built of brick and especially adapted to the wants of a well equipped printing establishment. The News is evidently prospering, and we are glad to see it. The First National bank of Kendallville which was recently compelled to close its doors will resume. The News of that place says: “The First National bank will open its doors in a few days and business go on there as usual. Its suspension will not weaken it in the least but give it a standing that few’ institutions in this country possess. When a bank passes through such an ordeal and comes out, all right, its solidity is fixed and its firmness established. The world’s fair directors have decided to close the gates of the exposition on Sunday, as art- open fair on that day has proven a financial failure. It is better to have it closed under these circumstances than by an act of congress, as the government would be antagonizing the spirit of the constitution to interfere with the religious liberty of the people. Those sects which observe •alwTjbLLN.UfeU' vWU . ^deration and respect in their honest convictions, and it is well that congress was defeated in its illy advised effort to close a national affair like the great exposition on Sunday, Speaking of the origin of the present American flag, a writer in the Cincinnati Tribune has this to say: “Noticing the discussion among the daily papers over the origin of the present American flag, I will state that forty years ago I saw in the Federal archives that the “Original Star-Spangled Banner,” as adopted by the Continental Congress, was run up to the masthead of the brig Alfred, twelve guns, on the Dele ware river, July 4, 1777, by Lieutenant J. P. Jones, pursuant to orders from that body. Lieutenant Jones afterwards became the famous John Paul Jones, the renowned naval hero of the Revolutionary War.” These are the words of the great Daniel Webster: “Small is the sum that is required to patronize a newspaper, and amply rewarded is its patron, I care not how humble and unpretending the gazette which he takes. Lt is next to impossible to fill a sheet With printed matter without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price. Every parent whose child is at school should supply * them with a newspaper. I well re-I member what a difference there was I' between those of my school-mates who I had, and those who had not, access to a newspaper. Other things being equal, the first were always superior to the last in debate, composition and general intelligence.” The Pope’s letter on the American school question is understood to indorse the position assumed by Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland and, probably if an account were taken, of a great' majority of the Catholic clergy of the ' Inited States, which position is in effect that religious education is desirable and neccessary for Catholic children, but is not incompatible with the existence and recognition of the common school system of the country. The church, so its head is understood io state, does not array itself against the system of secular education for all by the state but only desires that this ' education besupplemt-nled by religious ' education at the hands of the church. | rr-fort Wayne Sentinel.

■PRETTY’ BOLD. A Highwayman Attempts to Rob the North Liberty Hackman. An attempt at highway robbery was made on the road between this place and North Liberty last Thursday iu broad daylight, It was a very bold attempt and worthy of one of those celebrated characters of the wild and woolly west. Fred Thumb who runs the hack and carries the mail daily between North Liberty and this place was tackled by a masked man just a little this side of the Jordan school house. It was about 12:30 o’clock when the attempt was made. Mr. Thumb says the fellow sqddeuly emerged from the ravine on the west side of the road and spraug toward the horses’ heads to stop tfiem, but failed iu this, and Fred whipping up the horses was soon past the fellow and out of his reach. The latter, however, fired a revolver as a parting salute, but this was no doubt intended for a bluff, as the highwayman was after money and failing to get that did not cave to injure anyone. Mr. Thumb was atone in the back ana unarm ed, and had on quite a heavy load of goods. But notwithstanding this he made good time iu coming to town. He said the fellow, as near as he could see(he didn’t stop very long to size him up), was a short, heavy-set man and wore a black mask. Not a word was exchanged, the masked gentleman being very quiet and business-like in his movements, and Fred not having bad an introduction to the gentleman did not feel disposed to open a conversation with him. Fred states that he saw a suspicions looking fellow in North Liberty that same day and thinks perhaps it was the same one who attempted the robbery. He says that he had only a small amount of money with him, but $25, on this occasion, which was smaller than usual, as he very often carries a hundred dollars or so for other people who desire him to transact business for them . He says that hereafter he will be well armed and ready for such emergencies as that of last Thursday. The wouldbe robber has not yet been apprehended, and probably will not be, as little, if any, effort has been made to capture him. The Cincinnati Tribune expresses a sound thought in the following: "It is well to remember that no panic ever destroyed a single grain of absolute wealth. It is a squeezing process, but only wind and water are lost.” 5 A number of the leading newspapers - i»He rate on the railroads for* the * world’s fair. It is believed that this 3 would induce nearly everybody in the t country to go to the fair, t . Local Briefs. > . Ringling Bros.’s circus is billed to exhibit at Ln Porte August 7.

Bellinger and Williams. A story is told of a certain person's experience with an organ sharper. After some persuasion the person finally agreed to permit the agent to leave an organ at his house on trial. The purchaser signed what he supposed was a receipt for the organ, but which later is said to have turned up in the shape of a $250 note. Patronize home dealers then you know’ you are safe. I The law' against prize fighting in this country should be suspended long enough to give certain blood thirsty pugilists a chance to pummel each other to their heart’s content without interfei nee, and if a few of them should be killed off iu the shuffle, so much the better. Pugnacious chaps who are always so keen for fight should be given plenty of opportunity to have their peculiar longings gratified. Ta Straighten the Kankakee. Representatives of different counties along the Kankakee held a conference ! in Peter Crumpacker’s law offlee the : other day, says the Hammond News. The contract for moving the stone ! has been let and we are told work will begin as soon as the water gets low enough and the question of straightening the channel so as to secure proper drainage is what now perplexes. The conference today discussed the ' various phases of the question. A 1 future meeting will be held to further ' । the project. Representatives from , four counties which would be affected .by the proposed improvement were I present at the meeting.
