Qjje independent. WALKERTON^INOIANA. MARCH 17, 1894. A. ENDLEY, Editor. ILHUui is soon to be made a repubPostmaster Miller, of Marksville, Ind., is under arrest charged with the embezzlement of S7OO of government bonds. The time for holding the town election is drawing comparatively close— Monday, May, 7, we believe. The New York Sun is talking up Don M. Dickinson for president. Don S' will be remembered as the Michigan politician with the lovely side whiskers. The Brazilian war has ended by the rebel forces surrendering unconditionally. This is causing a little burst in the coffee boom which has been on for some time. - General Neal Dow, the great prohi nition leader, is nearing his 90th milestone in the journey of life. He is still comparatively active and strong mentally. His life has been a temperate one. Men who own land along the Kankakee river are trying to raise $500,000 among themselves to straighten the ; river from English Lake, Ind., to Kl<>mence, 111. They seem to have become discouraged in their efforts to secure further legislative aid in reclaiming this land. The bill for coining the silver bullion now in the treasury passed the senate Thursday in the same shape that it passed the house. The bill has yet to run the gauntlet of the president’s will or ill will, it is not certain which, but it is believed that it will become a law at all hazards. Mark Twain tells of a young colored girl who “experienced religion” in a revival. The next day in dusting her master’s desk she happened upon a $2 bill which had been left there by accident. “Lord-a-massy,” she said as she covered it with a book so as not to be further tempted, “now I wisht that revival nd been put off till tomorrer.” A special from Washington to the Indianapolis News says: Frank A. Beane, formerly of Goshen and son of the late editor of the Goshen Demo- ' crat, is here, a candidate for United ' mi ihuht. O §O »

A writer observes that a man cannot divide his attention and work and be successful in such a measure as he would if all his efforts were concentrated. It is the lawyer who sticks to law that is successful; the doctor who sticks to medicine that becomes the great physician, the business man who sticks to business who becomes the groat merchant, and in all the walks and avocations of life the same thing is true. Another bull-headed policeman in Chicago lias disgraced himself and the city police force by attacking a young couple and knocking down both the young lady and gentleman. It is said that there was absolutely no provocation for the officer’s action. He was drunk. He has been suspended from the force, pending an investigation. The name of this officer is Peter W. Kennedy. There is no doubt some more like him on the Chicago force. Judge Tuthill, who presided at the Coughlin trial, when asked his opinion of the verdict expressed himself as follows: “I think it was quite in accordance with the testimony. I know that the general run of people who have not followed the trial closely will Cough 1 igood jury | ; and the testimony was in accord with * the verdict brought in. 1 believe P. O'Sullivan, Bourk and Coonev the Fox . I killed Cronin.” A war is being made upon slot, machines all over the country, and busi- . ness houses harboring them are being i prosecuted. 'This is straining at a I gnat and swallowing a camel, when it i is taken into consideration how other' huge gambling concerns, such as the I Chicago board of trade, are allowed to operate without, the least hindrance. ' Boards of trade conducted on the plan j of the Chicago concern are just as bad > as the places kept by Mike McDonald. | Hankins or any other gambler. Slot 1 machines, while perhaps not exactly right, are innocent in comparison with other gambling institutions parading Under the guise of resp"etab : dity.

A telescope has been constructed with a lens powerful enough to enable us to see human beings on the planet Mars, In case such animals exist there. Sensational fiction is responsible for more harm to young men than the saloon and all other evil influences combined. This question is suffering too much neglect at the hands of the pulpit, the press and other agencies of moral reform. Another mean man has been heard from, says the Atlanta Constitution. A gulf storm blew an editor into the top of a tall pine, where he remained three days and nights. When the. owner of the land discovered him, he presented a bill for three days’ rent and then had him arrested for trespass. It is said that twenty-five years ago, an eminent Philadelphain predicted that A. B.—then just entering politics, would become one of the distinguished statesmen of his time. At present, according to the Public Ledger, this same A. B. is driving a Broad-street omnibus. It is not sincerity that leads men to be rude and blunt, thoughtless and rough. Very often it is a simple egotism that is so full of self and its own concerns that it hastens to force them upon other persons quite unnecessarily. Every thought, however crude, must be uttered; every opinion, however shallow, must be aired; every difference of taste or sentiment or idea must be emphasized, and all in the much abused name of sincerity.—Ex. In other words, you will now and then see an honest, sincere man who is not loud and boisterous in his conduct, but refined and gentlemanly and not given to trampling upon the feelings of his fellow-men when giving expression to his thoughts and opinions. True kindness and gentlemanliness and a regard for the feelings of others is not at all incompatible with sincerity, strength of mind and independence of thought. S9UTH BEND NEWS At South Bend, real estate transfers for February, 1894, amounted to SIO,OOO more than for the same month in 1893. Walter S. Harrigan, the news dealer, received the appointment of postmaster of South Bend last week. Fred W. Martin, a saloon-keeper and member of a bottling works firm, has been appointed assistant postmaster. The Tribune says that the grand jury found an indictment against Charles A. Miller, president and one of the principal stockholders of the South Bend China^re Company, sor al 15 C — ' £ u ” 4? -* « C i Z n z 2 -J r Z

Another note of SI,OOO was paid George Beck out of the company’s funds June 21, 1892, which belonged to the two Millersand Yena also. Miller was taken into custody to day. His bail was fixed at $1,500, but at last accounts he had not furnished security. Andrew Buysse is charged by Arnstine Bros. & Mier, of Cleveland, 0., with obtaining goods under false pretenses. They are wholesale jewehm and he bought largely of them, but misrepresenting, as they claim, his financial standing at the time. His bail was fixed at SSOO and promptly furnished.

The interest manifested in lastyear’s offer of Prize Scholarships in Purdue University, to young men and women of Indiana, leads the University authorities to renew the offer this year and enlarge the opportunities for securing such scholarships. Those who win Prize Scholarships may avail themselves of all the advantages which the University offers to ■ agricultural students absolutely free of i charge. This means not only free ; tuition, but free biological, chemical, . physical, physiological and veterinary . laboratories; free libraries and reading ( rooms; free access to and use of the । dairy and feeding barns; free inspection ^uuUAmi^jWi^vork ami experiments green-house and garden, and free use of costly and delicate apparatus necessary in pursuing the prescribed course of study. A Prize Scholarship in the Short ! Course in Agriculture will effect a saving of at least $lO and a Scholarship in the Regular Agricultural Course, a | saving of $25 a year or SIOO for the full 1 course. i One object in offering these Prize 1 Scholarships is to encourage improve- ' men! in agriculture, and all who com - pete will be greatly benefitted by the ! study and effort put fo'.th even though ' they fail to reach the standard required to secure a Scholarship. Any person desiring to compete for a Scholarship should report at once to Prof. W. C . Latta, LaFayMte, Indiana, who will forward instructions for per- : forming the work. | Short breath cured by Dr. Miles' Heart Cure,

For What was Man Cjlted? What for? Well, no j [ 0 spend his time as a P ot '^ ol |yhumanity does. Eat, drink, a i eO lo^ e ant ] well, it is disagreeable t does come next. Perha^F W 0 know.

Since the days of Adamland Eve in the Garden of Eden, m m dares not dream of idleness and luxury; for, if he does his duty, his wealth is employed in away which will benef t others, and if this be so, his time s profitably spent, for capital invested requires constant surveillance. Such is the work of the man with mopey. The person gifted witl I intellectual ability certainly has a bi ’ad field in which to labor. The wowds which his pen may trace, or those hy may utter, may fall where they are aprely needed, and spirits before boweS down with clered, and with new co up Life’s burdens once again Knowledge was given for this good purpose, but not as a mertns of gaining a livelihood in a dishonest way, as is often illustrated by the wbrk of numer ous “educated rascals.” , It is the work of the artist to point all that is grand and elevating in Nature that those who gaze upon his work may be led to see Suit a scene, surpassingly beautiful on canvas, is many times more so in the original, God’s own creation. So it is in each of the Numerous oc cupations. No matter what the voca tion, man has no right so be content with present attainments. He must not care for mental or physical fatigue, but try to make each day’s work excel ' that of yesterday. This is an age when one must be energetic if he desires to retain his position as a master-workman. Anyway, it is no loss to oneself if he must labor hard to attain a high degree of excellence. But do not think you were created to live with the idea of labor ever present. It was never intended that we go through this world with our laces as stern and unyielding as that of an Egyptian sphinx. Make a resolution to perform duty and enjoy life at the same time.

The following remarkable event in a lady's life will Interest the reader: ‘'Fora longtime I had a terrible pain at my heart, which fluttered almost incessantly. I had no appetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up in bed and belch gas from my stomach until 1 thought every minute would be my last. There was a feeling of oppression about my heart, and I was afraid to draw a full breath. I couldn't sweep a room wilh- . out sitting down and resting; but, thank God. by the help of New Heart Cure all that is past and I feel like another woman. Before using the New Heart Cure I had taken deferent so-called remedies and been treated by doctors without anv benefit until 1 was both discouraged and disgusted. My husband . bought me a bottle of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and am happy to say I never regretted | it as I now have a splendid appetite and I sleep well. 1 weighed 125 pounds when 1 began taking the remedy, and now 1 weigh 13UV4. ; Its effect in my case has been truly marvel- , ous. It far surpasses any other medicine I | have ever taken or any benefit. I ever rei ceived from physicians.”—Mrs. Harry Starr, Pottsville, Pa., October 12. 1892.
