The water works question is getting well to the fore again. The majority of our citizens, sq. far as can now be ascertained, are in favor of and even anxious that a water works plant be put in. The case of Fat Taylor against the B. & O. railroad company for injuries received on that road, was to have been tried last Monday, but a continuance was taken till next June. The case will be heard in the circuit court at Goshen. Water works would mean convenient water privileges at small cost, a material decrease in the rates of insurance and many other advantages not

necessary to enumerate. The fact is, water works would be as good and profitable an improvement as the town could make. A SIO,OOO plant could be put in with but a trifling tax levy on each property holder. The increase in the value of real estate would more than outweigh (he expense, to say nothing of the convenience and advantages that would accrue from having a good water works plant. The tax would cut. but comparatively little figure and there would be no grounds for any one becoming scared on account of it. South Bend Tribune: The gossip connecting Hon. B. F. Shively's name with the democratic nomination for congress to succeed Hon. C. G. Conn as representative of the Thirteenth district appears to have no other foundation than the vivid imaginations of newspaper writers and possibly the wishes of the gentleman’s friends in the democratic party. Mr. Shively was asked by a Tribune reporter what authority there was for the familiar manner in which his name as a candidate for congressional honors was being handed around by the press of the state. He was comfortably located on a lounge in the law library at the court house awaiting the call of a case in which he is counsel. He smiled serenely when the question was asked and replied with considerable enTpflWß sis: “None, none whatever. I am| not a candidate and cannot be made a candidate under any circumstances. If I had had any desire to remain in congress I would not have voluntary retired.” Normal Announcement.

A colony consisting of about 300 j people from St. Joseph, Marshall, LaGrange, Adams, Howard, Carroll, Wa j bash, Kosciusko and Elkhart counties i left for North Dakota last Tuesday I night about 10 o'clock. Walkerton I was selected ns the starting point and j the cars were concentrated at this । place on Monday and Tuesday, being I formed into one train of eight pasI senger coaches and 28 freight cars. | The B. & O. hauled the train to Chicago and from there the Great Northern took charge of the colony. The work |of organizing the colony was commenced early last fall by Rev. Amos Peters. The colony 7 will settle near Cando, North Dakota, where they will take up government land. The people of Cando being anxious forsettlers from the east are to extend the hospitality of their homes to the colonists until the latter can get settled. The result of this enterprise will be watched with interest by many in this part of the country. Should it prove successful it is proposed to organize another colony from this locality to settle in North Dakota. Any one wishing to buy a new Waverly bicycle, one of the best j wheels on the market, will learn something to his advantage by calling on | the editor of the Independent.
