Yerrick was so much improved on Wednesday that he returned to his home in South Bend. He stood the trip well. He was cheerful and rational before leaving here. Christian scientists at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, refuse to be vaccinated. It ~may be all right for them to believe in their theories, if they choose to, but they should draw the line at small-pox and a number of other diseases. E. L. Sanders has purchased of John Hummer a forty acre piece of land southwest of town. He will have it planted with small fruit, vegetables, etc. Teck takes a half dozen farm journals and thinks of joining the Farmers’ Alliance. The north bound freight on the L. E. & W. met with an accident a short distance this side of Tyner on Wednesday afternoon at 2:50 o'clock. The f engine jumped the track, but no damage was done. The north bound passenger train due at 6:53 p. m. was belated over an hour in eonsequence of the accident. The surprising news eomes from Chicago that Rev. G. S. V. Howard, formerly a minister of Nappanee, has been arrested for forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses. He will be remembered by our citizens as having spoken here while canvassing the district as a candidate for congress on the prohibition ticket. He is an orator of considerable ability. A masquerade ball was held in Bender’s opera house on St. Valentine evening. There was a fair attendance. The costumes were quite entertaining and attractive, varying from the merely comic to the artistic in effect. | . A number of young people from Plymouth and other surrounding towns were present and took part. ‘ The music was excellent and the oc-

casion proved a pleagsant one in all| particulars. If you are in need of a harness and want to get the same at hard times prices, just bring your mouney with you, and go to Emil Johnson’s, 915 Main St., LaPorte, Ind., and find out \ what he can do for you, as I am still | leading the harness business, with the largest and most complete stock of harness, saddles, blankets, robes, whips, fly-nets and turf goods in northern Indiana, and as I can guarantee that every one of my harness are hand-made and from the very best of oak tanned leather I can safely recommend them as a leader in that line, to which also the hundreds of people, who for the last ten years, have used | my harness can testify.

Tuthill, of Michigan City is a candidate for the republican nomination for clerk of the supreme court. He is reputed to be an excellent orator ‘and good party worker, Rev. C. B. Gillette is delivering a course of biblico-scientific lectures | Sabbath evenings. Last Sabbath his subject was “The Flood.” Next Sun-| ‘day evening it will be “The Garden of | Eden.” All are cordially invited. The income tax, although a pretty heavy attachment hanging to the tail of the Wilson bill, passed the house. There seems to be a well defined doubt, however, about its passing the senate. The income tax imposes an annual tax on all incomes of more than $4,000. It is worrying some of us here a great deal for fear it will become a law. Attorney Dailey and wife left here on the noon train Monday for ILa-

Porte. The train was snow bound on the other side of Stillwell and was delayed there the balance of the day and all night. The passengers secured provisions fromm neighboring farm houses. The train reached LaPorte about 7 o’clock Tuesday morning. A newspaper whose columns overflow with advertisements of business men, has more inflnence in attracting attention to and building up a eity or town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where there is business. Capital and labor will lolate where there is an enterprising community. No power is so strong to build up a town as a newspaper properly patronized. It will always return more than it receives.—Ex. The blizzard from the northeast struck this locality early Monday morning with howling force, and attended strictly to business all day, piling the snow up in available places in great drifts. The blizzard was at. tended with a strong wind. It was the worst storm that has visited these parts for many years. The trains on boththe B. & O. and L. E. & W. roads were delayed on Monday and Tuesday morning. The following conundrum is going the rounds: Smith found a ten dollar gold piece lying in the road; he gave it to Brown to settle a meat bill. Brown gave it to Jones to pay a grocery account; Jones turned it over to Biaker in payment of a balance due on lumber. Daker returned it to Smith in settlement of a note; Smith took it to the bank to deposit it, when the cashier threw it out as counterfeit. Now were those various debts paid? Thirty-five years ago Hon. George H. Stover, now of this ecity, and his brother, Frank Stover, of Fert Collins, Col., went over into Michigan and dug up a lot of very small pine trees, which they brought to the Stover homestead in Clay township and planted in the large yard. The trees were thrifty and grew apace, and a short time ago George concluded that there were too many pine trees in the yard and he cut out thirteen of them. The butts of these he then took to the Perley saw mill in this eity and got from them 1,950 feet of good pine lumber, some of the trees being considerably over 2 feet in diameter. George thinks that he would have done a wise thing had he at that time planted the whole farm

to pine trees. There is quite a lesson here for advocates of timber culture.— South Bend Times. k Perhaps never in.the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in the public favor \as the Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past two years it has, by adopting progressive methods and injecting push and enterprise in all its departments foreed itself into the very front rank of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is beyond question. The publisher during this spare time, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense nor effort to attain his ideal--and he has succeeded. Uncompromisingly Republican on all National issues. The Inter Ocean does battle for what it believes to be the true faith in a manner that at once commands the attention of the publie and respect of all. It can be recommended to those who desire a clean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper.

Canning factories are being started in many places in this state. Walkerton is a splendid opening for an insti: tution of this kind. According to reports a big sensation has been created at Huntington by the discovery that the A. . A. reeords, containing the names of all the members of that eity, had been stolen from the lodge rcom. Work has commenced on the dredging of the big Robbins ditch, twenty-five men being at work. An ‘additional survey of it will be made into St. Joseph county, which will run within a few miles of South Bend.— Knox Republican. o The South Bend Humane Socleiye talks of establishing a branch society in every township in the county. It is to be hoped that they will succeed carrying out this plan. There is n enterprise more worthy of encoura ment and success than the Hu movement. Give us a branch in Ligs ‘coln township. e The South Bend Times severely nounces our well known fortune ler, “Dr.” Baker for his false proph in regard to the whereabouts of little| Peter Singler who was drowned in the race last week. The Times states that somebody paid Baker $2 for information as to the boy's whereabouts, and| was told that he was not drowned but over in Michigan visiting relatives and would return last Thursday. As the Times says: “Saturday’s results show ‘the value of his predictions.”—Mishawaka Enterprise. William Myers, residing a mile east of town, died on last Monday, at the age of 74 years. Mr. Myers was an old regident of this locality, having lived here about 25 years. His wife died a few years ago, and he {8 survived by four children, all of whom have reached their majority, The deceased was a good, honorable man and was respected in the community. The funeral services were held at the residence on Wednesday at 10 o'clock a. m., Rev. Dillon. of Teegarden, officiating. The interment took place at the Walkerton cemetery. There was a good attendance, considering the bad weather, at Rev. C. B, Gillette's lecture at the Presbyterian church on Friday evening of last week. - His theme was “The Girl you ought to marry.” The lecture was especialy ly directed to young men who ha# not yet entered upon a matrim:r%{ iife, but it afforded edification, interes' and instruction to all the audience, old and young, married orsingle. Mr. Gillette presented the subject in & very able manner, giving his ideas of what he considered the ideal girl for a young man to marry. The lecture abounded with pertinent points, philosophy and humor, and furnished an hour of enjuyment to the auditors. Ex-County Commissioner Jacob Eaton died at his home in Clay township last Sunday night. His death came sudden and unexpected. During the night his wife, who is in feeble health, was suffering with a pain in one of her limbs. She awoke him and he sat up in bed and applied liniment to the affected part. When he laid down she noticed that he uttered a] peculiar noise. She spoke to him buti he failed to answer. The son, Doug~l lag, was called and it was discovered that Mr. Eaton was dead. He had been feeling unusually well the day!‘ previous, and it i€ supposed that his death was caused by heart failure. The deceased was one of the pioneers of the county, locating here in 1831. He was born in Maryland in 1819. He took a deep interest in the welfare of the county and was a valuable citizen. Office room for rent.

He is called a Jay, Old Hayseed, ‘Uncle Josh and such like disparaging names, yet he is the very man that all the rest depend upon. Go where you may to discuss the business situation, to the bank president’'s oflice, the banker's office, to the importer or ‘manufacturer, speculator, politician, and with one accord they point to our abundant crops as the hope of business revival. And the man back of the trop is the farmer, e i SOUTH BEND NEWS. ~ Prof. Christian Elbel, the well known musician and composer, recently suffered a stroke of paralysis, his whole right side being affected.
