independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. FEB. 24, 1894. AV. A. ENDLBY, Editor. McKinley is being talked of for U. S. senator. The Chicago Inter Ocean is having a great boom in circulation. It is puzzling its contemporaries. The Indianapolis Independent takes occasion to remark that there are many Sahm singing place hunters in that city just now. June 5 is the date decided upon for holding the republican congressional convention in the Thirteenth district. Warsaw has been selected as the place. Attorney L. W. Royse, of Warsaw, is announced as a candidate for the republican nomination for congressman from this district. He is a young man of good qualifications. The North Manchester college, it is rumored, has received a million dollar endowment from an old gentleman of great wealth. One condition of the grant was that the college be conducted on the university plan. President Cleveland made one more effort and succeeded. Uis nomination of Senator White, of Louisiana, for the supreme bench was confirmed by the senate. The president should now let David B. “Mamma, you’ll have to get another little boy; I'm burned to death,’’ were the last words of Jimmie Crawford, of Martinsville, Ind., last week. He bad played with matches from which his clothing caught fire. Rev. G. S. V. Howard, mention of whose arrest for getting money under false pretenses in Chicago appeared in this paper last week, has been admitted to bail in the sum of SSOO. He promises to liquidate his debts in the hear future. The question of incorporating New Carlisle as a city is being agitated by the citizens of that place. The matter will come up before the county commissioners. New Carlisle must have been gaining wonderfully in popula tiou since the census of *9O. The kind of craziness that Prendergast has should not be condoned by the law. He is a crank, no doubt, but responsible for his acts. Criminals of the Prendergast type are the most dangerous with which society has to deal. The law is the best cure for that kind of craziness. Charles E. Martin, editor of the Westville Indicator, is being urged by his friends to run for a county office. His name has been mentioned both for recorder and sheriff. The newspaper boys deserve recognition, and we hope to see Bro. Martin get to the front. It has been discovered that lumpy jawed cattle by the hundreds have been slaughtered at the Chicago stock yards and placed upon the market for sale. The Inter Ocean exposed the matter, and the authorities are now active in investigating affairs at the stock yards. People whose heads have a tendency to become too large for their hats because of a little learning should not spend too much time in noting the defects of their inferiors. By’ measuring themselves with their superiors they may learn a valuable lesson by getting a more rational conception of their own worth and abilities. Two more of the members of Chas. Krueger’s family at Michigan City 1 have died of triehiniasis, making four in all, since the family was stricken some two weeks ago. Miss Ella Sass, a sister of the late Mrs. Krueger, who I , had partaken of the pork that caused j the sickness and deaths in the Krueger household, is a victim of the same disease and is in a very’ serious condition.—LaPorte Argus. The farm outlook in Indiana is extremely promising, say s the Indianapolis News. Wheat in Cent ral Indiana j is in good condit ion. There has been no alternation of freezing and thaw- I ing to throw the grain from the earth. , Fruits are in prime condition of promise, and if the remainder of the! winter and spring bring no damaging ! turns of weather, the fruit crop is ex- ! pected to be immense. The extraor- I dinary feature of the year’s weather j lias been the drouth. Os course this I has not been harmful in winter ■ months, but there has not been running water in the tile ditches for a year and the small creeks have not j i been “full” enough to offend the most! ’ ^rdent prohibitionist, !;

It is better to fail of success deserving it than to achieve success not deserving it. Fruit and wheat prospects, according to reports, are good in all parts of the country. An exchange says: “Rev. C. G. Hudson, for many years pastor of the First M. E. church in Anderson, and secretary of the North Indiana conference, has gone insane and has been taken south in hopes of effecting a cure.” State Geologist Corby says there is gold under Indiana in abundance. He thinks, however, that the precious metal is so securely locked within the bowels of the earth as to render mining for it impracticable. He is of the opinion that there is no silver ore in this state. Galusha A. Grow was elected con-gressman-at-large in Pennsylvania last Tuesday by a majority of about 200,000. Mr. Grow began his career in congress in 1850, but has been out of public life for many years. He is now 70 years old. He is a republican and strong protectionist. An exchange gives the following ancient proverb: He who knows and knows that he knows, is master. He who knows and does not know that he knows, needs a teacher. He who does not know and knows that he does not know, needs love. He who does not know and does not know that he does not know,is lost. Where is there another country on the face of the globe that can show as prosperous a condition among the agricultural class as exists in the United States? The Indianapolis Journal makes the statement that in twentytwo of the states and territories, 68 out of every 100 farmers own the farms they cultivate, and 70 of every 100 of t hese farms are free from incumbrance. Os the 30 per cent, mortgaged the average mortgage is for 35 per cent, of the value. Os the total mortgages, 75 per cent, represent deferred payments on money borrowed to make improvem cuts. The relief committee of Indiana po lis advertised, the other morning, for one thousand men to shovel snow. One hundred responded. There are thousands of working people out of employment there now, some of them almost at the point of starvation. Taking this fact into consideration it is remarkable that, so few responded to the call for workmen. This circumstance suggests the thought that, perhaps there are too many working people in this country who are far too fastidious and dictatorial as to the kind of work they must have, especially in times of financial stringency. Nothing short of soft snaps presented to them on silver salvers, it seems, will satisfy a certain class of working peoPle. ~ Last Monday, Feb. 19, marked the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the order of Knights of Pythias. The day was observed generally throughout the country by the order in a fitting and conspicuous manner. The order of the Knights of Pythias I was founded in the city of Washing- | ton amid the closing scenes of the civil i war when the country was torn with strife, and the mollifying and ennobling influence of organizations whose object is the brotherhood of men were most needed. The order has grown and nourished and . reached a degree of greatness and strength surpassing the fondest dreams of its founders. And the order no doubt will march on to a still greater destiny in the future. SOUTH BEND NEWS Attorney Wilbert Ward has been elected a delegate to the National As- I sdciatiou of Lincoln Leagues. The small pox quarantine at South ' Bend was discontinued last week, and the police officers who were penned up ! in the station house were released. A society of lawyers and physicians : has been organized in South Berni, i The object of the organization is mu- । tnal benefit ami the discussion of topics of interest to both professions. Last week, at Buffalo, N. Y., took place the annual meeting of the trustees of the Chautauqua Assembly, over which proceedings Hon. Clem Stude baker, of this city, presided a part of the time by virtue of his position as vice-president of the association. Several reports were read, which showed the assembly to be. in a prosperous con - i dition, despite the hard times of 1893. ! Hon. Clem Studebaker was re-elected vice-president, and his invitation to hold the next annual meeting at “Tip- ! pecauoe Place,” in this city, was unanimously accepted. — South Bend! Times.

Ibis verdict settles a long dialed question as to which among the many baking powders is the beat.—Clacago Tribune. A speaker at the Elkhart county farmers' institute expressed himself on ■ truck farming as follows: “Indiana j is the best garden state in the Union ! and it is a shame that we are not taking advantage of it.
