€lje Jnikpcniicnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA. FEB. 10, 1894. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. There is a firm in Rushville, this state, named Cook & Fry who run a hotel. From this there would seem to be something in a mime. The small-pox epidemic in Chicago has reached alarming proportions. A great deal of news in regard to the epidemic is being suppressed, no doubt, for obvious reasons. Reliable statisticians piace the number of gallons of beer consumed in lowa the past year at 24,000,000, but not a gallon of this was manufactured in the state.

A farmer writes to the Wakarusa Tribune that butter making pays better than wheat raising. He milked five cows, one of them being a heifer, which was milked only sir months; fi-om January l st , 1893, to January Ist, 1894, made and sold 661 pound's of butter, besides using all the cream and butter needed for family use. The butter sold on an average of 22 cents and a fraction OVOT . ihe amount re ten ed for the butter was $149.10, besides he sold calves for sl9 which

would amount to $168.10. At the present price of wheat it would take over 300 bushels to make the same amount of money. little ray mack found He and His Abductor Are Held in_r«sfodv

It wflfflSemembered that a twain Styling themselves the Love Bros.— Arthur and Ray—gave an entertainment in tills place a few weeks ago. The elder of the two was apparently about 35 years of age and the younger about 10. They made a night’s stand here and one at North Liberty, meeting with poor houses at both places. They seemed to be in hard lines and left here owing several debts. The boy had some dramatic talent, and constituted about all there was to the show. The older one was little better than a “stick.” It has since developed that

the two are not brothers, but that the , boy had been abducted from home. A dispatch to the Inter Ocean of the 7th 1 inst. contains the following particulars ' in regard to the matter: Little Ray Mack, the 9-year-old performer who was abducted some months ago by Arthur Love, who has been us ing him to give public entertainments in small towns throughout this and the neighboring states, has been located. Yesterday the Inter Ocean received a telegram from Mr. J. G. Boyer, May- . or of Altamont, stating that Love and the boy were in custody there and asking for instructions as to their disposal. Mrs. Mack, mother of the boy,

who was her only support, has been ( brought to a very low stage through f worrying over her loss. She is staying ( with Mrs. Sullivan, top flat, No. 204 J ■ Clark street. Last night, on being J shown the telegram announcing the : finding of her boy, she fainted, and had to have the immediate service of a physician. JMr. J. J. Shibley, No. 248 East Madison street, who has kindly interested the case, i.iu, requesting the Altamont ' police to hold Love and the boy until ( justice is done and young Mack, re- ! stored to his parent. Sergeant Broderick, of the Central | Station, is also exerting himself to do

what is right in the case; but there are some difficulties in the way. “We have no fund to draw on in eases like this ”he said. “In a case of abduction’the officer would have to put up the necessary expenses of travel, etc., himself, and trust to luck to get it back.” Altamont, is 214 miles from Chicago, the fare thither is over $6, and Mrs. Mack is ill and penniless. Fred Young appears to be some better, but the paralysis still remains in his legs aud he is unable to walk.

B. F. Yerrick Afflicted With Brain Trouble. On Tuesday afternoon B. F. Yerrick, formerly of this place, now a resident of South Bend, drove to this place under very peculiar circumstances. It was between 3 and 4 o'clock when he drove into town and stopped in front of the residence of his father. Seeing the team standing in front of the house Mrs. Wesley McDaniel, sister of Mr. Yerrick, came out and spoke to him, but he remained in the buggy and made no reply, acting very strangely. He finally got out and asked in a bewildered way, “Where am I, how did I get here?” He complained of a terrible pain and pressure in his head. He was taken into the house and Dr. Denaut summoned who administered remedies to relieve the man’s sufferings. Mr. Yerrick’s family were notified sous arrived

South Bend. It seems that Mr. Yer-1 I rick was sick about a year ago with something similar to brain fever, and a number of times since then lias suffered with pains in his head. About two weeks ago he told his wife that he feared his mind would yet become deranged as a result of his illness. A bile at supper on the evening before coming here he remarked to his family that he had no appetite. At breakfast the next morning he made the same complaint and said that he did not feel right. He left the house at 7 o’clock to get the team shod, as he intended to drive to Crumstown to do some collecting. That was the last the family saw of him that day. It is supposed that he drove to Crumstown, but now he happened to drive to Walkerton is a mystery that Mr. Yerrick himself can not explain.

At midnight of the day he arrived t I here his condition was improved. He s "' IS rntloa ul for some time and talked 1 very lree V' with his folks in regard to , h,s Coi “Htion and seemed to be very 111 h puzzled to find himself in Walkn on. By morning, however, he be- | came worse and was irrational. His condition remains about the same at tins writing—Thursday evening. He quite easy at times, but as to what the outcome of Mr. Yerrick\ trouble may be can not be told at this

SOUTH BEND NEWS. The body Os the boy, Peter Singler who was drowned while skating on the bt. Joseph river at South Bend, was xne body had lain in the .w* 1 noon qC thcxiamara, a tourist from St.

Louis, who was locked up in the police i station at South Bend, developed a genuine case of smallpox last Saturday morning. He was taken to the pest house, and the other prisoners who had been exposed were taken there with him as a precautionary measure. A quarantine has been established in the exposed part of the city and the authorities are taking every means ‘ possible to prevent an epidemic. FEBRUARY 'COSMOPOLITAN.’ The secret of the great success of The Cosmopolitan is not so hard to find, if one looks carefully over the

number for February. A story by Valdes, the famous Spanish novelist, the first from his pen to appear in any American magazine, is begun in ’his number. Arthur Sherburne Hardy’s story,” A Rejected Manuscript,” is charmingly illustrated by L. Marold, who we believe makes his first appearance in the magazines on this side of the water. A profusely illustrated article on the designing and building of a war ship appeals to the interest taken by all in the new navy, and a thrilling description of a naval combat under the significant title: “The Meloban and the Pentheroy” describes, after the manner of the Battle of Dorking, a possible sea fight, the outcome of w Inch is watched by the entire naval world. “Gliding Flight” is an interesting con-

tnbution to the problem of aerial navi- | gation liy one who has studied the flight of soaring birds in the East for twenty years. Elaine Goodale, who married a member of the Sioux nation has some interesting information of Indian Wars and Warriors. T. C. Crawford, the Washington correspondent, gives the first half of a startling story, under the title of “The Disappearance Syndicate.” The poetry in this number by Sir Edwin Arnold, Graham R. Tomson and ; William Young, is unusually good. The Departments, “In the World of Art and Letters” and the “Progress of । Science” continue to have as contributors men famous in both continents.
