WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 30, 1893,

The dance last Saturday evening was attended by a large crowd. George Leash has returned from Dakota. J. E. Myers is attending the State Normal school at Terre Haute. School commenced Monday morning with a large attendance. The Teegarden school was closed Wednesday for the remainder of the week that the teacher might attend tho Bremen fair. Dr. Neville is at the Bremen fair with a number of sheep and Jersey cattle. His sheep get the red ribbon wherever he goes. Jack. Free Admissions Still Keep Up. The London Times and the country editors have been denied the “courtesies of the press” by the men who boss affairs down at Jackson park, but the number of free passes daily reported as given at the world’s fair gates do I not perceptibly diminish. They were 31,181 Aug. 18, and 31,468 Sept. 15. They were 30,969 Aug. 31, and 30,138 Sept. 12. This does not look much like cutting off “the outrageous abuse” talked of and stewed over by the Board of Control. Even the gentlemen of African descent who told Mr. Ring that “too many passes had been issued” must now admit that the editors and correspondents about which he, Mr. Walker, and others were making such a fuss were hardly the ones to blame. They have been cut off and still the evil does not diminish. There is a great deal of humbug about this raid on the country editors by the fussing members of the Directory. Os all the thousands and tens of thousands of free-pass beneficiaries, very few, if any, have better earned I the freedom of the fair than the editors about which all this exhimiton ot nine oohh in Itoing noolo. LlHluuohh (h ik4 n sufficiently strong word to express our opinion of the action toward these gentlemen, every one of whom has paid ten times over for the privilege of attending the fair. No, littleness does not express it—infinitesimalness comes nearer to it.—lnter Ocean. DR. STAAKE ASSAILED. Miscreants Pelt the Doctor With Bad Eggs. The genial Dr. Charlie, who was at this place a few weeks ago with his Scotch Remedy company, met with an unpleasant experience with hoodlums at Millersburg, this state, recently. The Grit, a paper published at that place, comments as follows on the as fair: “It is high time that the fathers and mothers of our town take their children in hand and endeavor, with supplication and the liberal use of “strap oil” to bring them up in respect for the laws of common decency. With the exception of the drunkenness of some of our degenerate young men, Millersburg has not had cause to blush for the acts and deeds of her children until last Wednesday night, at which time some young hoodlums assailed Dr. Chas. J. Staake, while he was delivering a lecture to a respectable audience, with the decayed fruit of the ever industri l ous hen. Dr. Staake lias been in this neigh borhood for the past two weeks selling and advertising bis remedies, and has conducted himself in an entirely gentlemanly manner and we feel called upon, in the mime of the respectable members of this community, to appologize and we trust the doctor will cherish no animosity toward our town. The action of these miscreants was entirely without provocation and no pains should be spared to ascertain the guilty parties and to punish them accordingly. These affairs cast anything but credit upon our town and every citizen i should use their best endeavors to preI vent another such occurrence by firmly 1 instilling in their children’s minds the evils and consequences of so doing. We are informed that a reward has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the culprits.” SHILOH’S CURE, the great Cough and Croup Cure, is in great demand.

Editor Goodman, of the defunct LaPorte Journal and Daily Star, has secured a position on the Chicago Staals Zeitung, with which paper he was formerly associated. That, great advancement is being made in journalism is evidenced by the following from the LaPorte Argus: “The watermelon has nearly gone and only one or two newspapers have perpetrated the old gag aboiit ‘the meloncholic days.’ ” Freeman Hill, an old colored man, and a familiar character in LuPorte, died last week. He was totally blind and made his way about the streets with a “feeling stick.” He was a native of North Carolina and was about 88 years old. The first quarterly meeting of the Walkerton circuit, U. B. churchy will be held at the Barber church, commencing Saturday, Sept. 30, at 1:30 p. m. Preaching by Elder J. F. Bartmess, of Buchanan, Mich. Services Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock, also Sunday morning at 11 a. m. The Goshen News says that Sir William Dallin’s Sunrise to Sunset air line railway has received a backset uuil work Ims been HUHp<>ndod by the gulden on tUc bnniub liuiu because of failure to receive their pay. Cablegrams from Dallin in London are very encouraging in tone, but they do not pay wages or buy food and raiment. Enterprise is a good thing but may be carried to an extreme. The South Whitley News is evidently convinced of that fact. In giving an account of the train robbery near Kendallville (hat paper published a cut purporting so be a portrait of one of the robbers. Ii was that of a young man of Kendallville and was intended for use in a patent medicine advertisement. 'The young man is very wroth and will sue the News for damages. The town of Elkhart has the ideal bicycle ordinance. Au annual license fee of $2 is required. Wheelmen are required to notify pedestrians of their approach by ringing a small bell, and when pedestrians dispute the right of way they must dismount and pass on foot. The maximum speed is six miles an hour. Before receiving a license the applicant must make oath that he lias ridden a machine for at least two months, and is an adept in management. The Richmond Independent observes: “The attendance at religious services in comparison to population is very small. Ffty years ago fully ninetenths of the people regularly attended aivi.x- cerviceß. H'ho heads of families were always found in the sanctuary, and it was an imperative duty imposed on the children to attend religious services. Now there is only about one man in five who is a regular attendant at. church, and about one woman of every three are church goers. Does this signify a decadence of religious sentiment?” We often hear young men complain that the chances for success in the world of today are not nearly so numerous as ’n the past, says the Muncie Herald. The young man who makes such complaint is certainly not well informed in regard to the true condition of affairs. There never were more opportunities ('pen for the right sort of young men than there are today. But the man must be made of the right kind of material. Dudes don’t, count in the business and praci tieal world. The young man of today ■ who goes out to seek his fortune i armed with untiring industry and unimpeachable honor will find it. The world is ever waiting for this class of young men. There is a high place for every one of them.

According to an article in the New Y’ork Tribune, Indiana has thirtyseven millionaires.

Its the woman’s friend —cures sick headache in the right way and (piiekly too; just as good for biliousness. Fears for Her Sou in Town. No mother need have undue anxiety for the succeHSof her son who steps out into the business world so long as he bears in mind a few essential points. He must be honest above all things, and allow nothing to convince him that there is a compromise between honesty and dishonesty. He must be an out and out believer in the homely but forcible saying that a man cannot driuk whiskey and be in business. He must make his life outside the oilice the same as in it, and not be possessed with the prevalent idea that the employer has no business to question his movements outside of office hours. An employer has every right to expect his employees to be respectable at all times, in the office or out of it. He must respect other people’s opinions, always remembering that a young man, of all human beings, has much to learn. lie must learn, if he would be wise, never to argue on two questions—politics and religion. t Don't Ton Know that you can secure almost immediate relief from Indigestion, and • that uncomfortable fullness after meals, by simply taking a dose of Simmons Liver Regulator? Some people think that because it is called Liver Regulator it has nothing to do with Indigestion and the like. It is the inaction of the Liver that causes Indigestion, and that fullness; also Constipation, and those Bilious Headaches. Millions have been made to understand this and have been cured from these troubles by Simmons Liver Regulator—a medicine unfailing and purely vegetable. From Rev. M.B.Wharton,Baltimore,Md “It affords me pleasure to add my testimony to the great virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator. I have had experience wit li it, as occasion demanded, for many years, and regard it as the greatest medicine of the times. So good a medicrue deserves universal commendation.
