®ljc JniiqKniJcnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA. JULY 29, 1898. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Hay is apt. to command a big price this year on account, of the shortage of the crop in Europe. The special session of congress will meet a week from next Monday. The proceedings will be of unusual interest. Business in Australia is at a standstill, strikes are imminent and tens of thousands of people are out of employment. The Mexican dollar sold in New York City last week for 58 cents. It contains more silver than our own dollar. Advices from New York say that there is a marked improvement in the financial feeling and that a reaction for the better is apparent. The trouble between France and Siam has started that old rumor to going again about the probability of “all Europe becoming involved in war.” Very Rev. Alexis Granger, of Notre Dame university, died on last Wednesday evening. He was 76 years of age and had been connected with the university since 1847. The Madison, Iml., Democrat came to us last week with a well-written and exhaustive write-up of that city. The ' edition was nicely illustrated with cuts ; of private and public buildings, ! factories and other leading industries of the city. The "Wabash Plain Dealer says “The statement going the rounds of the newpapers that the “Immortal J. N.” is dead, is unhappily without foundation. That more or less justly celebrated character is at this time making a tour of Ohio cities, and is in discouragingly robust health.” The Carroll county soldiers’ and sailors’monument was unveiled at Delphi, this state, last Thursday. It is one of the finest momuments in the state. Gen. W. H. Gibson, the gallant old soldier and eloquent orator, was the principal speaker of the occasion.

says that work on cne Benton Harbor spur is movingsteadily along. A large force of men and teams is scattered over a three-mile stretch northwest from the corporation line, and everything indicates business. Just south of the marsh on the Knisley place there will be a cut of four or five feet, while for many miles beyond the work of establishing the grade will be comparatively easy. The Chicago Times says in regard to the banks of that city: “There is a reawakening of common sense upon the part of small capitalists. At one of the local savings institutions the number of new depositors upon the first of July was the largest in the history of the institution. The little that makes much flows anew into the financial arteries with re-invigorating result to the commercial and industrial bodies, and with particular advantage to the small capitalists. The money ought to be employed steadily. It is not within the power of everyone to make a profitable investment, and hence savings banks that pay interest upon balances are able to do so because, aggregating so many small amounts, they employ them at a larger rate of interest than is paid

to depositors.” ti- -» f what an effort is required to be correct,” Major Bitters says in the Rochester Republican. “Did you ever realize that more than half our efforts are in doing wrong simply because we do not have a knowledge of doing right? With all our boasted knowledge we are like a blind horse, in the woods, running against trees in every direction. This is not only so in our business and social relations, but we are blind leaders of the blind, politically, religiously and otherwise. And this is principally the result of being a follower instead of a leader, of accepting the verbal statement of those who profit by them instead of going to the fountain head lor knowledge, of accepting only such tilings as true that are in line with our preconceived ideas, of believing the principles promulgated by thesemi-bar-barians two or three thousand years ago are true and unchangeable simply because they are said to be infallible, and of following the precepts established by men in preference to the plain teachings of nature. Life is the result of nature's laws and we cannot attain perfection except we observe what nature teaches.” 1

The report that Joseph Jefferson, the great comedian, was not expected to live is denied. The great actor himseif denies the report and says that he is in better health than usual. He is now enjoying his vacation at Buzzard’s Bay. A girl in an Illinois town waved a hat at a stranger and in three days they were married. Two days later the young wife waved a flat iron at her husband, and the next evening he came home waving a divorce. What are the wild waves saying?—Ex. The trouble between France and Siam may be likened to a great big bully jumping on to a small, feeble person for no other reason than that he is the biggest. And it is just as cowardly and unjust. Under the । guise of war might has been right for । centuries and is to this day recognized ] as such to a great degree, though not as much so as it was in darker ages. When war, capital punishment and a few' other barbarous customs shall have been abolished man can then boast of being civilized, but not until then. Ho w to Get $1 for Wheat. It is a new idea, but why is it not 1 practical? A farmer down in central 1 Illinois tried the experiment of using wheat instead of corn to fatten hogs, with the result that he realized sl.Ol per bushel for his wheat thus translated into pork. It has been tried by Dakota farmers with the same satisfactory result. They sold their hogs at a price which realized them over $1 per bushel for the wheat which had been condensed into a more saleable article. It is said that the quality of the pork is superior to that of the cornfed animals. Why not put cheap wheat into hogs instead of into elevators and make a specialty of wheat fed pork in the eastern markets.— Milford Mail. There are a few shallow-pated paragraphers and penny-a-liners employed on Chicago papers who have become very tiresome in their endeavors to be funny at e expense of the citizens ol the Hoosier state. Their insipid and witless jokes about the “hay-seed" from Posey county have become such chestnuts that no one ever thinks of laughing at them. Yet piese brokendown scribblers, who have failed as country publishers from lack of ability,

continue to bore the public with S' al * TStatrSTaim about the Hoosier ’ visitor to the world’s fair. Os course these jokes (?) are uncalled for and 1 entirely without foundation in fact, as anybody possessing average intelligence knows that Indiana is one of the best states of the union and far in advance of the majority of her sister states both in an educational and industrial sense. It is a wonder that some of those smart aleck scribblers don’t get discharged for their nausea , ting attempts to be humorous. A Fine Object Lesson. Here is a lesson on debt paying from ' an exchange that ought to be read and heeded. Very few people realize the value of a dollar kept going. A little paid by each one who owes something will help to keep other people paying their debts. Lyman J. Gage, the well known Chicago banker, tells the following story in illustration of how much a single bank note can accomplish: “After the panic of 1873, I visited a not long distant town of moderate size, and from the most important merchant in the place I heard this story: ‘For a week or ten days during the panic,’ he said, ‘business here came to a standstill. We did absolutely nothing, but. one day we received a hundred dollar

[bill by express from a distant town, I with a direction to credit it upon the ed at the one hundred dollar bill with interest and curiosity, and after con ferring together, concluded to send it to Mr. A., to whom we owed a small account, knowing that he was in need. About three o’clock in the afternoon a wagon maker in the village came into our office with a broad smile upon his face, and said: ‘I am glad to pay SIOO on account. It is the first money I have seen in a good while.’ We took the money from his hand, and discovered it to be the same note we had received by express in the morning. We asked him where he got it, thinking he would reply that he had received it from Mr. A., to whom we had paid it. Ue informed us that he had received it from Mr. E. We then followed the history of the note back, and found the facts to be that it had paid us SIOO of debt in the morning and had liquidated six other debts of SIOO each during the day, and in the afternoon it had come back to us, liquidating another debt of SIOO, and we still had the note for fresh operations on the morrow.” Dr. H. S. Dowell extracts teeth with out pain by the use of vitalized air. i

Hicks says: The last period for July runs from 26th to 30th, the crisis falling coincident with the full moon on the 28th. At this time we will have entered into the Venus period which is central August 9th, apd if we are to have general rains from the Venus disturbances in August, they are apt to begin in earnest at tfie last J uly period. We look for mwjh violent disturbances at this time,

hope for seasonable rains, but sW*h not be surprised if there are vere blusters, electrical rapid transitions from heat to then, rain. At all events we *mhy reasonably expect a respite from shimmer heat at the close of the last July storms. Dowell, the dentist, extracts teeth without-pain.
