An old fashioned winter seems to have set in. There was a heavy snow last Saturday and Sunday, and sleighing has been quite good during the past week. The snow last Sunday measured about sixteen inches on the level. The LaGrange Standard says that the unusual number of deaths from pneumonia, following influenza orgrip, and afterbut a few days’ illness, should be a warning to be very careful about exposure. These deaths are so frequent and sudden as to be startling. Undertakers say they have never known anything like it before. Judge Noyes has changed the punishment of Rudolph Shultz, who a few days ago received a sentence of four months in the county jail and SIOO fine. It is now one month in jail and $lO fine. On investigation it was found that Shultz was not wholly responsible for the cffense with which he was charged, that of using a seine. His reason is somewhat effected.—LaPorte Herald. Andrew Hanson, the Teegarden merchant who recently assigned, was arrested the other day, on a charge of obtaining goods or credit on false pretenses, made by the Riddell Grocery Co. of South Bend, on a warrant issued by ’Squire Logan, of this city. He waived an examination and was bound over to the circuit court in the sum of S3OO. He went to jail yesterday, we are informed, in the absence of sureties, but had the assurance of friends that he was soon to be released.—Plymouth Republican. If you have a little farm or business and are out of debt, don’t fret and work yourself and good wife into the grave for the sake of making money, is the wholesome advice given by an exchange. You have but one life to live and it’s brief at best. Take a little comfort and pleasure as you go along day by day, and try to do a little good to others. A morbid, insatiate desire to possess the earth, to grab everything in sight, is at the foundation of more misery than almost any other thing. Wealth alone will never keep your memory green after you are gone —a good life and kind actions will.

Miller, a poineer of Indiana, died at his home in South Bend last Monday morning. He was born in Ohio and came to St. Joseph county in 1832. He was about 79 years old. Kirk Brown died on Wednesday with paralysis with which he was attacked on Thanksgiving night. He was about 75 years old. The funeral will be held on Sunday at 10:30 a. m. at the M. E. church. Obituary next week. Benson Cook, of this place, who left for the south recently, is now in Mem! phis, Tenn., where he is attracting some attention among athletes as a boxer. He is now in training for a finish contest with a man named Pool, which is to take place Dec. 20. Married, by Rev. J. Hildebrand, Dec. 6, 1893, Mr. John Frame and Sarah E. Wenger, both of near this place. The ceremony took place at the residence of the officiating minister. In the evening a wedding supper was served as the homo of the bride’s parents, a number of relatives being present. The couple were the recipients of several fine and useful presents. The Logansport Pharos calls the attention of farmers who purchase ma chinery, etc., upon supposed warran tees, to a decision recently rendered by the appellate court, wherein they decide “that where an agent of a machine warrantsit ‘to do good work with proper management,’such warranty is not such as to enable the buyer to escape payment if the machine fails to ‘do good work.’ Farmers will do well to read their ‘warranty’ carefully.” Jesse Coppock Post, G. A. R., held its annual election last Saturday evening in G. A. R. hall, electing the following officers for the ensuing year: Commander, IL A. Adel; senior vice, Edson Goit; Junior vice, Silas Baker; Officer of the Day, 11. H. Brown; Surgeon, Jonah Thompson; Chaplain, James Shoemaker; Q. M., M. R. Burger; Officer of Guard, H. P. Woodward; Represenative, W. A. Dailey; Alternate, P. Q. Nichols. The Richmond-Glick Comedy Co. presented the popular, sensational comedy, “Euchre, or Risen from the Ashes,” in Bender’s opera house, Thursday evening, to a light house. This old, but ever popular and excellent play, was rendered with considerable merit by the company, whose efforts should have been rewarded with a better house. Harry Richmond as Gerald Gray, or Joe Blossom, was an excellent piece of work, Richmond’s conception and rendition of the character being quite masterly. This troupe was recently organized at this place and is composed of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Richmond and Sid Ewing, of this place, O. V. Burr, Sadie Burr, Harry Glick, Mrs. Harry Glick and L. Sbular, of Chicago. Take the troupe throughout and it is quite a good one, well worthy of the public’s patronage. They expect to start out on their tour some time next week, should Mrs. Richmond, who has been very sick and unable to fill her place in the company, be well enough to perform her parts. The company will play to-night—Fri-day —and Saturday night. The music for the entertainment is being furnished by the mandolin orchestra, composed of.O. F. Townsend and Vern and the Misses Hardenbrook, who render fine music.

There are doubtless poor families in this place who are absolutely in destitute circumstances with no means of immediate relief save the charity of the people, Matters should be investigated and the condition of the worthy poor ameliorated by the charity of the public. Jonas Decker, of Ligonier, died Slid- । denly the other evening while going after a physician for a sick neighbor, i On the way his son saw him staggering but thinking him a drunken man passed on. About a block from his residence his dead body was found almost covered with snow. A dispatch states that about 40 farmers four miles east of Bremen were taken in Sunday night by two Iftgßwho called at their houses at a late hour and presented important telegrams for which the strangers demanded sums ranging from $3 to $4 for delivery. The messages proved to be bogus. The swindlers traveled over the same section of country in separate vehicles and victimized the neighborhood to the amount of $l6O. Efforts to capture the swindlers have thus far proved fruitless. A complimentary to a theatrical performance is equivalent to the price of admission, and when a person asks for a “comp” “just because you are acquainted,” you might just as well ask, “give me 35 cents.” Mr. Harry Richmond has so many friends that they should not expect to get “comps.” If you want to show him you are his friend and want to enjoy a good entertainment, buy your ticket, as you should, and show that V alkerton citizens at least can support their own people. Another Fire. Joseph Miller's residence in this place was burned this forenoon—Friday, the lire being discovered about 10:30 o'clock. When first seen a thin cloud of smoke was issuing from the inside, and an alarm given and responded to in good time to save most of the furniture. The doors of the had to be broken in in order to gain’* an entrance, Mr. Miller and family having left in the morning for North Liberty. A fire was left in the stove and it is supposed the house caught fire from the chimney. The brick addition was saved, which served as a barrier against the fire spreading to the row of residences on the south. The woodhouse was also saved. It was a close call from another big fire in Walkerton, and but for the good work done in fighting the flames the Indel’ENDent would have the recording of several houses burned instead of one. We understand that the house and contents were insured for fifteen hundred dollars. WOMANKIND Has won its fame because it deals with what really interests the women of America. It leaves the discussion of the great questions of religion and polities io other papers, and fills its pages with practical articles regarding home life, how to live delightful yet economically. Its fashion department is complete—the work of experienced editors—and profusely ilhistdated, but it deals with fashions suitable to the homes of women of artistic tastes and modest incomes. Its stories are bright and inspiring. It is full of hints for the self supporting woman, and aids those who seek to add to their incomes by brain or hand. A Christmas Present for Some One/' To the one guessing nearest the number of words in the first two columns of the Independent to be published the last week in December, a beautiful present will be given as follow: If the guesser be a boy the present will be a WATCH; if a girl, a string of SOLID GOLD BEADS; if a married man or woman, a CASTOR.

Two freight cars were thrown from the track and severely damaged on the near the switch in the part of town last Saturday afternoon. The train was moving into town when the arch bar on a car loaded with steel rails broke throwing the car from the trucks to the west side of the track, and causing the carahead also to be thrown off, but on theeast side of the track. One car was so badly damaged as to be rendered useless, while the other has been sent to the shops for repairs. For bargains patronize tire advertisers always. Resolutions.
