When ready to return home it was very dark and the wind was blowing a perfect gale, consequently several of our boys lost their hats, but on returning next morning all were found, except one that must have blown far away. Miss Flo Walbum visited our school Monday. Wm. Walbum, ex postmaster, was visiting friends here over Sunday. Mrs. Rebecca West, who has been sick with lung trouble, is much improved.

Charles Bose, of Walkerton, was in town Tuesday. Mr. mid Mrs Ren Strang, of Walkerton, were visiting with Mis. William Wallace and Mrs. John Collier over Sunday. Tyner has one female carpenter. She is working for A. Place at present, repairing the hotel. We are sorry to say that Polk township has one school teacher who says that no information can be gained from country newspapers. and not enough learning to give him the breadth that he is so sadly in need of. He is one of those extremists who can not read the tale of ancient Troy, the careers of Hannibal, the Scipios and other renowned anci^ts without be coming impressed with the fallacious belief that the ancients were about the only characters of history worth read ing about, that they were far superior to our modern statesmen and generals, and that the things of to-day are of less consequence than those of antiquity. This teacher no doubt uses about the same narrow-gauge reasoning in sizing up the value of the newspaper. He thinks that the people and things about him are of less importance than those that are far away. He will pore over the details of the Athenian senate, which ceased to exist nearly two thousand years ago, and remain in comparative ignorance of the proceedings of the congress of his own nation. He will read about occurrences in Japan or the South Sea Islands in preference to keeping posted on the events of his own town, county and state. Newspapers are made to fill a certain sphere which nothing else can fill. They are not published to teach ancient history but to record the events of the day that the public may keep posted on the history that vitally concerns men, that which is daily being made. The country newspaper is near to the people. It is one of the great instrumentalities in the work of enlightening the masses and bettering the condition of mankind generally, and no one but an egotist will fail to understand these facts. —Editor ] The services at the U. B. church on last Saturday night was largely at—tended from far and near. regressive Dunkards are holding a series of meetings at the Butts ' school house.

THE DEATH RECORD SUDDEN DEATH OF CHARLES ARNOLD. On last Friday afternoon about 2 o’clock the news came to town that Charles Arnold, a farmer residing near this place, had been found lying in an unconscious condition on the floor of his barn. Mr. Arnold’s wife was away from homo rendering assistance at a sick neighbor’s and the girl who lived with them was getting dinner. She rang the bell to call Mr. Arnold to dinner, but as lie failed to come she went to the barn where she found him lying on the floor back of the stalls where the horses were standing. He had been working with the horses during the forenoon and evidently unharnessed and put them in the barn only a short time before being attacked by bis sudden illness. The neighborhood was immediately made acquainted with Mr. . ' Arnold’s condition and help came and he was carried to the house. He never regained consciousness. A physician was promptly summoned but nothing could be done for the man and he died at 3 o’clock, about three hours after being found . He seemed to be in bis usual good health in the norning wheu he went to work and his sudden death woo o *»«**?.. “ showing that he had been kicked by the horses or that he had received injuries.iu any other way. There was a slight bruise on one of his arras which ' may have been received when he fell to the floor. The cause of Mr. Arnold’s death is supposed to have been apoplexy. The deceased was a good citizen and industrious farmer. He was 48 years of age and is survived by a widow, but no children. The funeral services ■ were held at the Brethren church near North Liberty at 2:30 p. in. Sunday and the interment took place at the North Liberty cemetery. Rev. Hilderbrand officiated. PHILIP GENSINGER. Philip Gensinger, residing one mile and a half northeast of Walkerton, died last Saturday evening of jaundice. He had been ailing for several weeks but his trouble did not take a serious turn until a few days prior to his death. Mr. Gensinger was an excellent man, a good citizen and progressive farmer. He is survived by a widow and two children. The funeral services were held at the Center church Monday at 11 o’clock a. m., Rev. Peters officiating.

That is one way to help the town along. Mrs. Frank Reed having fitted herself for doing dressmaking is now prepared to give such work careful attention at her house. She invites the ladies to call and see her. Ida Hutchings announces elsewhere in this issue a special sale of hollow ware, flat ware and jewelry for the next 30 days. She is making a discount of 20 per cent on these goods. The Independent is equipped for doing all kinds of job work neatly and at the lowest prices consistent with good stock and good work. All mail orders given prompt attention. Write us for prices. The Sons of Veterans of this place took the initial step towards reorgauuhull on Friday evening* About sixteen members were prOSIITr Another meeting will be held this (Friday) evening to complete the reorganization. “The Egyptian,” an occasional contributor to the columns of the Independent, has an article in this issue under the caption of “For What was Man Created.” The article shows good literary style, contains good thoughts, and is well worthy of perusal. Ot Townsend’s dog “Sancho” died from the effects of poison last Saturday night. The dog was a spaniel, and a good hunter. He had a good disposition, minded his own business pretty well and never harmed any one. It is a hard matter to understand how any one could be mean enough to poison him intentionally. One factory in this town employing fifty men would increase materially every line of business, enhance in value every foot of real estate in the town, promote the interests of our schools and churches and be the means of adding to the town from 300 to 500 more people. This is what one factory would do. And one factory of this kind started here would bring more. What man, who has interests in Walkerton, could not afford to give from SSO to SIOO, free gratis, towards the establishment of a factory employing fifty men? _ Perhaps never in the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in 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 forced itself into the front rank of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is beyond question. The publisher during this 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 public and respect of all. It can be recommended to those who desire a clean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper.

With three raiiro^ls our town will offer unsurpassed Shipping facilities, which should enhance our chances for getting manufueturuig establishments one hundred per cent. But it should be remembered that factories are not going to locate here just by chance. A great deal will depend upon the interest and activity taken by our citizens in such matters. And again it should be resnembered that poor men, no matter hew willing they may be, can not do as much in promoting the welfare of the town as men of capital. When the latter stand back and withhold their encouragement nothing can be accomplished. The Silver Agitation. The silver agitation is making a great stir but the benefits from it will be nothing compared with the investment of a silver quarter in Simmons Liver Regulator powder. It agitates the liver and cures biliousness and sick headache.
