Jn&cpcnitenL Walkerton, Indiana, oct. 28, 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Bents are beginning to drop in ChiCPg °' _ A novel having for its basis the Kesler train robbery in this state has been published. Gov. Mathews declares that the Corbett-Mitchell fight shall not take place on Indiana soil. Take (he conceit out of some men and there wouldn't be enough left to stand up.—Barn's Horn. Bob Ingersol will deliver his lecture, “The Gods,” with alterations and addendum, in the Chicago opera house ■MMWMtouiay will be the last day of the Columliian Exposition. It is being estimated that the attendance will be a million on that day. Editor Little, of the Garrett Clipper, has recovered $775 damages from Cal Husselman, who “larrupped” the editor several months ago. The closing of the world's fair will throw thousands out of employment in Chicago, and as a consequence business will be stagnated more or less for a time. Eighteen hundred and ninety-three will be memorable in history as a period.of disaster, financial depression and as (he year of the greatest exposition the world lias ever known. O. M. Cunningham, of South Bend, who was elected prosecuting attorney of the 32d judicial district last fall, assumed the duties of thatollleeon Monday last. The lower house of congress voted to extend the Geary exclusion act for six months, in order to give the Chinese more time to comply with the law. According to the Indianapolis Sun Simeon Coy is acting a thinking part in the present drama of Indianapolis politics. Sim Coy thinking! This is news for sure.

Park. They will begin agitating the matter soon after (he fair closes. Gen. Clarkson, of lowa, wants the gates of the Republican party made wide enough for a Republican victory. And Clarkson can do his party some good if he will stop talking through his hat. It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can liardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.— Henry Ward Beechi r. The Rev. W. Fred Pettit, who died at the Michigan City prison on Thursday of last week from consumption, was granted a new trial on the same day. His case has now gone before the Highest Court. He left no confession, as was hoped and expected by those interested in his case. Knox merchants are learning the

value of printer’s ink. Not long since they were slow in this respect, but the ; Knox papers are now' over run with । home advertisements. The reward that the merchants of that place will < reap will amply repay them for their enterprise and practical business sa- , gacity. I Here's tire liquor problem, as the National ,Rptyog it He streets—that’s free whisky. Twenty- | five snakes gathered into a box in j Which twenty-five holes are made by ' authority of the court—that’s low license. Ten of the holes are closed and the snakes all went through the other fifteen—that is high license. 8 Drive all the snakes over into the next village—that is local option. Kill all the snakes—that is prohibi-

tion. The Mitchell-Corbett prize light is to be pulled off at Roby, says the Anderson Bulletin, unless all signs fail. I John L. Sullivan, who is now playing j with a theatrical company at Kansas! City, says that is to be the place for' the light. A new organization has; been eifected a!. Roby and the light! will be fought under the protection of the law as passed, by the last legisla- ! turn. The prize lighters have the law ‘ on their side, and what is more potent, n political pull of tremendous proportions, ‘

Ihe Kendallville Sun perpetrates this: “A young lady examining and - । pricing some hosiery in one of our dry goods stores recently, binding a pair that she liked, asked the clerk ‘how high those came.’ Green clerk ^Yhy, 1 don't know exactly, but think about two inches above the knee.. You may step into the back room and try them on, if you like.’ The clerk was discharged.” It is not generally known, says the Lalayetto Courier, that (he projector of (he wonderful Ferris wheel, which is the great center of attraction at the World's Fair, the removal of which to New York City as a permanency was contracted for last week—was the conception of Luther Bice, a young man resident of our neighboring town of Ladoga. Bice is but 27 years of age, but from childhood has evinced the elements of uncommon ingenuity, an important outlet for which has been . afforded him by the great World’s , Fair. On consummating his plans for the wheel, ho submitted them to a number of Chicago capitalists, when Mr. Ferris became the lucky taker. Financially, Mr. Rice was unable to carry out his project. He has acquired a good English education, and taken a collegiate course in engineering, and at last, with natural endowments, proved the lucky number. He is now the superintending engineer of the wheel at a salary of $1,500 per week. He is a brainy Hoosier, whose invention has afforded untold pleasure to millions of visitors. In a lecture on “Journalism,” before the students of Union college recently by Charles A. Dana, the veteran editor of the New York Sun, lie recommended the Bible as the most indispensable, most useful book to the journalist. “There is no book,” he said, “from which more valuable lessons can be learned. lam considering it now, not as a religious book, but as a manual of utility, of professional preparation and professional use for a journalist. There is perhaps no book whoso style is more suggestive ami more instructive, from which you learn more directly that sublime simplicity which never exaggerates; which re counts the greatest event with solum nity, of course, but without sentimentality or affectation, none which you open with such confidence and lay .

the right answer, when you are look- I ing for an exj-ression, uhat is there! that closes a dispute like a verse fiom the Bible? What is it that sets up the | right principle for you, which pleads | for policy, for a cause, so much as the , right passage of Holy Scripture?" ——. —< • •——— —. PETTIT’S BODY SENT EAST. The Dead Man Buried nt Oswego, N. Y., i As He RequestedA. F. Earl, in whose care the body ' f W. Fred Pettit was placed immedi ately afl< r t lie prisoner’s death, shipped i the body to Oswego, N. Y., Saturday ' night, in accordance with instructions i from the dead man’s mother, says the I Michigan City Dispatch. The body ' was started east at 11:20 o'clock by way of the Michigan Central. None of Pettit’s Lafayette friends, if he had i any at his old home, arrived here in ■ response to the announcement of his | death. Pettit’s effects are yet in the care of Warden French, and will be shipped east when the warden receives instructions to do so.

A strange fatality has pursued the persons most closely connected with the Pettit case. Three of the most prominent attorneys Lave died; several of the witnesses have fallen by the hand of death, and one of the jurors is gone. Judge Davidson, of Crawfordsville, and T. Arthur Stuart, of Lafay ette, two of Pettit’s attorneys, and Ooi. W. C. TYilnon, one of the states as torcelebrated case. ! Mrs. Emma C. Whitehead, Pettit’s i paramour, and her father, David Aleharry, arrived in Lafayette Friday night from Chicago, says the Courier. They stopped over night in Thomas Baker’s lodging house, adjoining the. Lahr house, on Main Street. Mrs. | Whitehead did not know of Pettit’s death until her father saw the notice in the morning paper, he showing it to - her. He found the paper down stairs,

read the notice, took it up and banded it tohor, and abruptly left the room. N > one will ever know what her emotions were.
