Cije independent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. MARCH 8, 1894. W. A. END LEY, Editor. The Indiana pension agency paid out $2,437,882.76 at the last quarterly settlement. Hartford, Connecticut, is reputed to be the wealthiest city, in proportion to population, in America. Three seconds is said to be the time required for the transmission of a message across the Atlantic by cable. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Will Cumback is being talked of for congress in the Fourth district against William S. Holman. General Grant’s book, which was about all he had to leave to his widow and children, has already paid them about $500,000. An act has passed the lowa legislature providing for a service pension of $8 per month to all honorably discharged union soldiers. Vincennes is the oldest city in Indiana. The census of 1890 gave it a population of 8,825. It was the capital of the state from 1800 to 1813. In a recent speech at Indianapolis, Ex-President Harrison prefaced his remarks by saying that an ex-president is unworthy of the honors that have been heaped upon him unless he takes as much interest in matters pertaining to the government after his term has expired as he did before his election.” Thp ex-president proposes to have something to say himself in the coming election. Dun’s Review of last week presents the business situation as follows: “Business of all kinds,” it says, “is hesitating until more can be determined about the future. Prices are again greatly depressed, as low or lower than ever having been made in wheat, silver and some manufactured products. The glutted money markets continue to show that the volume of business is still inadequate to employ the circulation available, and the withdrawal of about $60,000,000 from the New York market by the sale of government bonds does not cause the expected strengthening of rates.” The following from the Valparaiso Sun is a severe test on one’s powers of credulity and should perhaps be swallowed with a due allowance of salt: “Levin P. Otis, of Hammand, while in Chicago a few days ago, was stricken with pneumonia, and to all appearances he died. After his burial he was dug up by medical students, who placed him in the dissecting room, and they were getting their knives in । readiness when Otis raised up and . asked for a drink of water. His request frightened the students and they tumbled out. of the room, leaving him in sole possession. When they returned Mr. Otis had again become unconscious. He was restored with difficulty, and he has recovered sufficiently to be returned to his old home. He persists in the belief that, although his case is one of suspended animation, he was really dead.” The motion for a new trial in the case of Prendergast was overruled and the sentence of death passed by Judge Brentano last Saturday. The murderer is to pay the penalty of his life for his crime March 23 in (he । court-yard of the county jail in Chicago. As inhuman and barbarous "s it is for the law to take human life it is better that Prendergast should be hanged than incarcerated in an insane asylum, afterward to be given his freedom as cured. He is undoubtedly , a little off in the upper story and a crank, but his responsibility for his j acts have been cleaxly_.deixxcmstraleA ll.m the insanity dodge been made to . stick in his case it would have had a most pernicious effect by encouraging other cranks, prompted by a yearning for notoriety, to commit crime. We have received the Indiana University announcement for the Spring । Term and Summer School of 1894. j It is a circular of 32 pages and gives brief statement of the work of the university for those terms. A larger number of courses are offered than ever before, especially for the benefit of teachers. These additions to the faculty have been made since the publication of the last catalogue and courses have been added in History and Latin to the work in the Summer School. The university now has 17 departments, 45 active members of the Faculty and has an enrollment of 534 students, about 30 more than ever before at this lime of the year. A notable feature of the faculty is that 36 of the best American and European j Universities are represented in it. All 1 university publications will be sent on ' application to President Joseph Swain, I Bloomington, Ind. j

It is reported that Michael J. Fahlbush, a law student at Logansport, has fallen heir to an SBOO,OOO estate in Germany. A lucky fall. There is a growing opposition among college authorities against the system of athletics that at present prevails at most seats of learning. Reports from the City of Mexico show Congressman Wilson to be improving. He was taken seriously ill as a result of overwork on the Wilson bill. The lowa legislature .as passed an anti-prize fight bill which provides a maximum penalty of a year’s imprisonment or a fine of SI,OOO for the principals, and a line of SSOO for the accessories. The carpenters’ strike in Chicago, considering these hard tit as, is one of the most senseless things that a labor organization ever did. The Inter Ocean, in commenting upon it, says: “The worst feature of the carpenters, strike is that it has closed up the pocketbooks of thousands of persons who would have given liberally to charity. Such wholly selfish work of a labor organization is the worst enemy the poor have met this trying year.” Archbishop Ireland, in a recent article in his paper, the Northwestern Chronicle, gives his views of what a public journal should be, as follows: “Aside from the positively pernicious effects of the big bric-a-brac editions of our Sunday papers, it must not be forgotten that they are great time-killers. They dress up descriptions of crimes and nothings in a fascinating manner and thus steel precious hours from victims over whom they have cast a sort of spell. Our large newspaper is not a blessing; it is not a necessity; it is not even a good. That publisher is a benefactor who gives his readers only what is useful and gives it to them in as small a space as possible. Some object to a paper beacuse, they say, it is too small. It is a great mistake to judge a paper by the quantity of printed matter in it. A better test to appl is the qms tion, how much can be got out of it?” Some who have hail experience in securing idle men to do work have lost their sympathy with a go . d many of them. When a man refuses a job because he don't exactly like it, and takes help from the charitable people, it is discouraging to char ty. —Elkhart Review'. This illustrates the demoralizing effect upon a certain class of people resulting from ill directed charitable work. There is too much charity. It is being dispensed with too lavish a hand and without sufficient discrimina tion. Most destitute people need charity not so much as they need a friend, a helping hand to assist them to help themselves. So long as there ire people who would rather receive a dollar from charity than to earn it, the system of charity which at present ob tains generally throughout the country must be reformed before it will be effective as a means of bettering the condition of the poor. It is as important to know how not to help the poor as to know how to help the poor. TYNER CITY. The protracted meeting at the M. E. church has closed with about 20 accessions. Grandma Jarrell's birthday was on Wednesday. The family were all at home and partook of a bountiful dinner. The prayer meeting at F. Bennett’s on Monday night was quite largely at-, tended. Guy Collier is moving into his property that he recently bought. Grant Reed’s team became frightened at the cars the other day breaking loose and running away. Not much damage was done. John Groves, of Ohio, has been visiting friends and relatives in and ' around Tyner for the past week. John E. Johnson lost his moustache in the last snow storm.

The following is no exception: Thad been troubled with heart disease 25 years, much of that time very seriously. For five years I was treated by one physician continuously. 1 was iu business, but obliged to retire on account of my health. A physician told my friends that 1 could not live a month. My feet and limbs were badly swollen, and I was indeed in a serious condition wtien a gentleman directed my attention to Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, ami said that his sister, who had been afflicted with heart disease, had been cured by the remedy, and was again a strung, healthy woman. I purchased a bottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than an hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided improvement in the circulation of my blood. When I had taken three doses I could move my ankles, something 1 had not Cone for months,and my limbs had been swollen so long that they seemed almost putrlfied. Before I had taken one bottle of the New Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down, and I was so much better that I did my own i v rn - v recommendation six others are taking this valuable remedy."—Mrs. Morgan, 569 W.
