Mujc JniJcpcnircnt. Walkerton, Indiana, sett. 9, iB9B. NV. A. ENDLEY, Editor. According to Bradstreet, 800,000 employees have lost their situations since Jan. 1. Edison, the inventor, has turned his attention to metallurgy. It is thought that diamonds, sapphires, gold, etc., will soon be manufactured dirt cheap. Congressman Pence, of Colorado, a bright, Indiana boy, is making quite a record in congress. In the debates lie is quick, witty and logical, and seems able to hold his own with the oldest of ' them. Fifteen thousand idle men were put to work recently in Pittsburg. Reports of this kind make good, easy reading. They cast a gleam of sunshine over the hearts of the people. The Conrads have found a rival. His name is Wiley and he lives in West Virginia. White caps recently called him out of his house at night with the intention of giving him a coat of tar but he was too quick for them and commenced firing into the gang, killing one and wounding another. ' They decamped, leaving Wiley master of the 11 eld. _ I Col. Conn writes a friend in Elkhart I that congressmen have been more seri- , ously and studiously engaged during the present session than they are usually given credit for, and that the debates preceding the vote on the money question brought forth a wonderful store of information in the shape of records, etc., and which one man would hardly have time to look up and study.—Goshen Democrat.

The Grand Army of the Republic is a great organization, numbering about 500,000 members. It has increased in membership rapidly during the past few years, but it is approaching a time when this condition of things will be reversed and its ranks begin to as rapidly deplete. Unlike nearly all other great orders its continued existence will be measured by the life of its members, most of whom have passed the meridian of life. In another quarter of a century . this great order will number but a comparative handful of members. Among other theories as to the cause of the financial stringency, it is suggested that the world's fair may be chargeable with having been an influential factor in promoting industrial inactivity. The Spring-

field (Mass.) Republican says that one of the leading manufacturers in that section, impressed with the view that the great exposition might have had some effect in this way, found on looking over his books a falling off of some 25 per cent in his business during the time of the Philadelphia Cen tennial.—South Bend Times. Judge Ewing on last Wednesday morning declined to review the Clingman injunction case and the world's fair will therefore be open Sundays during the continuance of the fair. In referring to the matter the Chicago Mail says: “It is no sin against divine or natural laws for man to view the products of his brother’s genius on Sunday, our plane of morals will not be lowered by studying man's intellectual greatness in his handiwork on Sunday; salvation will not be denied to him who spends the Lord's day midst the inspired creations at Jackson Park. Don't, gentlemen directors, lock the doors to the greatest and grandest educational institution on Sunday, but throw them wide open that Reason and Religion may be within reach of , every soul that seeks them.” Frederick Douglass was the principal speaker of the colored people’s “day.” His speech, as it was written, says the Chicago Herald, would have been found in fine English, its thought conservative and self restrained. Unable to resist the spell of so great a house, with so inspiriting a presence of his own people, the genius of the man overbore all premeditation, and, his manuscript neglected, he delivered one of the most powerful and adroit as well as masterly and persuasive speeches that has ever fallen from the lips of man. The speech in its diction, imagination and cohesion ought to rank with classic oratory in ti is or any other tongue. Douglass is now in his seventy-sixth year. Except Gladstone, there is not another man living who is his equal in command of oratorical resources, in voice, in dignity and composure, in fire, in pitiless scorn or in moving tenderness.

RALLIED ONCE AGAIN. REUNION OF THE OALT.ANT Q9TH IND. VOL. INFANTRY. ► The Old Flag Unfurled at Walkerton with all Due Honors. The eighth annual reunion of the Twenty-Ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry was held in Walkerton on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 7 and 8. The comrades began to arrive on Wednesday evening and by Thursday noon squads of the boys in blue were pouring in from all directions, a large number coming from Indianapolis where they were attending the national encampment of the G. A. R. Ere Old Sol had gained the meridian of his daily flight the streets were well lined j with people, the business houses and residences were decorated and the town presented a smiling and festive appearance, all combining to express a royal welcome to the gallant defenders ( of freedom and right. The Twenty-Ninth has a history 1 that is interesting and of which its members may well feel proud. It was i not only the first regiment in the ( Army of the Cumberland to be veter- 1 anized, but the first in the United States Army to claim that honor. The Twenty-Ninth was engaged in some ’ of the most notable battles of the re1 bellion, and with distinguished valor j won an enduring name among the ' hosts which marched to the defense of * their common country, and of right, justice and the liberty of man. This regiment marched 7.000 miles in all during the war and was engaged in the battles of Pittsburg Landing, Stone River, Liberty Gap and Chica- ' mauga. In the latter engagement the I Twenty Ninth lost 191 men, and for, gallant services in this battle the regi , ment was honored by being veteran- ; ized and placed on provost duty at,

Chattanooga, Tenn. In short, they ! were retired from further lighting. Comrade Wetzel in giving a review of the regiment facetiously remarked that [ this was the only part of their history that he was ashamed of when they i i wore paper collars and white gloves. The program of exercises was as follows: FIRST DAY. M usic. Address of welcome, E. Leibole. Response, O. C. Sabin. M usic. REC ess r NTH 7 30 <»\ 1 iII II Hr AAscmlile.

The program of exercises given each day was of an interesting character, and the camp fire on Thursday evening at the band stand was particularly a pleasant affair, especially to the veterans, who entered into the spirit of the occasion with that sympathy of feeling which only old comrades who have marched together to the front can truly experience. The musical portion of each day’s program was Splendid, the choir rendering some line ' vocal seclections and the Walkerton ! cornet band playing beautifully a i number of appropriate and modern ! airs. The day, of course, would not have been complete without the martial band, which helped to make things lively and acquitted itself very credi- . tably. At 12:30 p. m., Friday,the comrades . sat down to an elaborete dinner in L | Place’s grove, following which were . excellent speeches by Hon. James S. . Dodge, Dr. Fred Wood, Capt. Bartram, president of the association, Mrs. AlI mira Cole and others. The picnic was - । a pleasant affair, a sort of love feast, > and the veterans enjoyed it immense- ; I iy- , ■ The reunion was in fact a success, > and the guests declared that they had f 1 the best time here that they ever had s 1 at any previous meeting, and they ' leave with a high regard for Walkers ■ ton, its citizens and their hospitality. The association met in G. A. R. hall _ | Friday morning to elect officers for the j ;ensuing year and to transact other । business. The following ofiicers were

elected: William Kies, of i Angola, Ind., president; Capt. Wbtzell, of Carthage, Mo., first vice-p^sjdent; ^John Hughes, of South Ben^ secon d । vice-president; David Reading, of Plymouth, treasurer. The same old secretary, Capt. J. E. .Houghton (“Flaxy Jim”), of Plymoutj wag reelected. The association del ^ e( j „p on Plymouth as the place f»7 “qolding their reunion m 1894. 'W The following resolution g^®were moved and adopted: In Camp Fire Meeting Assembled: The society of the 29th Indiana Veteran \ olunteer association, Resolved: That, whjeas, hospitality is a Divine attribute and commended by the Master hiinself, and, whereas, the citizens of ^Walkerton’ following our old comnSr^nn expresident, H.
