The suicide fad is quite fashionable in Indianapolis at present. Ihe Elwood tin works sent Gov. McKinley a tin horn twelve feet long.

state in the west to mtW A ^4^. system of township libraries. HTm republican party is trembling in its boots. It is feared that Mrs. Lease intends joining the party. Moody and Sankey, the great revivalists, after being separated for several years have again joined forces, and will battle with sin in England for several months. Puck, the comic paper, comes close to the truth in the following: “The milliner is pointed at as a thing of vanity; but she is a mighty great aid to church-going religion.”

Gov. Altgeld, in a recent interview, declared that there are no anarchists in Illinois, not one. For the benefit of an ignorant public the governor should explain what an anarchist is. The following was given as the secret of the rapid progress made by a western town: “Our people have the grit and push. We forget ancient history and look to the present and future only.” It illy becomes certain Chicago newspapers to be casting slurs upon Indiana because of the lawlessness existing here, when people are being robbed in buildings and on the streets in Chicago in broad daylight.

The Kewanna Herald says that one of the Turks on the Midway Plaisance, now that that popular resort of the world’s fair is closed, has returned to his home at Logansport, washed the paint off his face, and will spend the winter enjoying his salary. A strange occurrence is reported from Chicago. “Escape with thy life,” was the text of Rev. H. H. Barbour, Chicago baptist preacher, Sunday. He had hardly announced it when the church burst into flames and the congregation had a narrow escape. John A. Drake, secretary of the Three I railroad, was assailed by two robbers in his office in the Rookery building in Chicago the other day in broad daylight and robbed of $20,000. It was the boldest robbery ever known in Chicago. The thieves made good their escape. A number of papers in this state started to fill “long felt wants,” have recently suspended for lack of sufficient support. Men who haven’t any

better business judgement than to start such a precarious enterprise as a newspaper in a field already fully occupied deserves failure, and deserves it good and hard. A number of schools in the State are closed on account of smallpox and diphtheria. Many teachers are sending inquiries to the State Department of instruction to know if they are entitled to pay while the schools are closed by sickness. The Superintendent says thnt snlnri^a pan not he snsnenHorl nr Report has it that the Chicago Sunday Sun which has made so much trouble in several Indiana towns, has at last come to grief. Harry L.Strohm,

the general circulator and attorney for । the paper, has been sent to the Illinois penitentiary for three years and fined $3,000 for circulating an immoral paper. William A. Beane, the noted editor of the Goshen Democrat, dropped dead last Tuesday morning on his office steps, of heart disease from which he had been suffering for several weeks. Mr. Beane was one of the best known and most popular journalists in northern Indiana. He was personally and through his paper a genial, pleasant man, and he will be greatly missed by his many newspaper friends. He was aged 65 years, and had been connected with the Democrat since boyhood. He was an honest man who loved the truth and despised hypocrisy. May he rest in peace.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox says; “Some people make such an ado about their - virtue that we almost wish they would . lose it.” Richard Williams, ex-sheriff of Noble county, died at his home in Albion

last Tuesday of paralysis. He was aged about 64 years. A light supper, a good night’s sleep and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man, who, by indigestion, a restless night and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward. —Chesterfield. A youth who stole 85 cents was given a three years’ prison sentence, in the Elkhart Circuit Ccurt last week, while a man who stole a horse was given two years in prison, and another

It went out of sight with the “dicky,” or single shirt bosom, that the young man of sixty years ago used to wear over the bosom of a shirt that was so thick with dirt that it would almost stand alone! — Goshen Democrat. A town must have ample diversity of industries in order to be truly prosperous. Competition carried beyond a certain limit is stifling to industry and absolutely injurious instead of beneficial to the interests of a town. Each

line of business should be given a chance to prosper and build up. A town should strive to secure industries not already represented. That is the true key to success and growth. It is said that Ed wild Ditnius, a farmer residing near Ilion, in Marshall county, borrowed about three thousand dollars of his neighbors, or rather his neighbors went his security for that amount of money. Then he mortgaged his farm for five thousand dollars, and finally sold bis farm to some one subject to the mortgage. When this was all accomplished he took his family and departed for Kosciusko county, leaving the neighbors to hold the sack for the money borrowed. I

Dun’s Review of Trade of last Sat- j urday says: “The turn of the tide | has come. While it is yet too early I to look for great changes there is a j distinct improvement in the demand I for manufactured products since tne j action on the silver bill, some increase < in the output of pig-iron and in sales I of wool, and the failures of the week ] show lower liabilities. In brief, the j recovery which began when the silver- ; repeal bill passed continues with increased strength.” Young Robinson, who with his brother attempted to rob the safe at j the Valparaiso normal last August, j was sentenced to the penitentiary for I three years. His brother was shot and killed at the time of the attempted j robbery when they were pursued by citizens. Much sickish sentiment has t been wasted on Robinson during the j trial. A man who will deliberately j plan robbery and attempt to commit ! murder is certainly an unfit object up- | on which to pour sympathy. Some of j the ladies shed tears and made much ’ JI 1 J I _ — 11. - *

fuss over the culprit during the trial, . and when the sentence was pronounced the scene must have been most affecting. No doubt some romantic maiden with more sentiment than sense is dead in love with Robinson and longs for the time when he will be freed from prison walls that they may be made one and forever after live happily together in a vine-cla 1 cottage nestling among the hills. Picked Up. 4 ri— ■ [ wlcn. 1o - Gross and vulgar minds always pay greater respect to wealth than to talent. No man has learned how to rest until । he has learned to live one day ata time. More bread and fewer prayers for the

hungry is what is needed in the large cities. It is cruel to dock horses, but they ( never complain ; the victim is no tailbearer. A mistress may rule a monarch, but some obscure panderer may rule the mistress. The sluggard, although advised to go to the awt, generally finds his uncle a more useful person. The excess of youth are drafts upon old age, payable about thirty years after date with a high rate of interest. In the days gone by a business man used to take his pen in his hand. Nowadays he takes his typewriter in his arms. A necessitous individual who gives box parties and fine dinners is paying large sums for the privilege of being laughed at, -

Take Courage. Take courage, young man. What 1 if you are but an humble and obscure I apprentice—a poor and neglected orphan, if you have an intelligent mind, all untutored though it may be, a vir- . tuous aim and an honest heart, depend upon it one of these days you will be wanted. The time may be long deferred. You may grow to manhood, and may reach your prime ere this call is made, but virtuous aims, pure desires and honest hearts are two few not to be wanted.
