Clje JniicpenDent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. APRIL 21. 1894. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The Chronicle, the new paper started at Union Mills, got out one issue and then quit. Indianapolis has a case of small pox, and the people of that city, in response to orders from the boards of health, must all be vaccinated. Miss Pollard was awarded $15,000 in her suit against Congressman Breckenridge. There is serious doubt about the justice of such a verdict under the existing circumstances. General Jasper Packard, editor of the New Albany Tribune, and Aaron Jones, of this county, are the leading candidates for secretary of state on the republican ticket. The nomination no doubt lies between these two candidates. Hon. John B. Stoll, of South Bend, disclaims any intention or desire to run for congress. He says his duties as editor of the Times are more agreeable to him than the hustle and annoyance of a campaign or a politician’s life. Mr. Stoll doubtless takes a sensible view of the matter. To make a truce witn necessity in any way is a brave and manly thing to do, but to reconcile one's self to necessity and to accept it and adapt one’s self to it is braver still, and helps one to work joyfully and cheerfully. Accepting the inevitable with a good grace brings out the hidden fortitude of a character with hue effect.—Ex. Newsboys were recently arrested in Chicago for being a little loud when selling A. P. A. papers. Newsboys are always noisey and it seems strange that they should be arrested in this particular instance. That looks a little like tyranny. The A. P. A. is a new organization and perhaps a little extreme in some respects, but it should be given fair play. An industrial army, under command of General Kelley, has started from Council Bluffs, lowa, ou its way to Washington. The army captured an empty train of freight cars on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road at midnight Sunday to transport them to Chicago. It is said that other armies of a like character are being organized in various parts of the country. Some of these would-be agitators over the country are getting a little too Coxey on our hands. The Coxey movement, which at first seemed a farce, may yet develop into proportions not at all comfortable. The Kelly army from lowa and threatened movements of a like character in other parts of the country, show that the Coxey spirit is rapidly spreading among the unemployed laboring people. This movement is certainly an extreme and unreasonable one, and it is not apparent what good can be accomplished by it for the cause of labor, but men out of employment with no means of supporting their families and no relief within sight, can not stop to reason. While the Coxey movement itself is deserving of no sympathy, yet it is the inevitable outgrowth of the discontented spirit of the times and indicates a condition among the laboring classes which appeals strongly to the better feelings of every man and calls for the earliest possible treatment from the best and wisest statesmanship of our government. Business men, by close application to business and honest dealing, have been known to acquire fortunes without advertising. Such men are some times pointed out as proof that advertising doesn’t pay. The weakness of such a conclusion, however, is appar- ' ent. It is a matter of common record 1 ' that the majority of fortunes made in < business have been gained largely through the aid of judicious advertis- i ing. This is the testimony of numerous wealthy men throughout the conn-1 try. While men may worry along and accumulate moderate fortunes by a system of economy and careful dealing, yet it is a fact as bright and clear as the noonday sun that there is no business, no matter how well it may be managed in every other respect, but what may be greatly improved by advertising. This is a plain, simple fact, which has often been demonstrated, and no amount of argument to the contrary can dislodge it. And the very men who are supposed to prosper without advertising get a portion of their business by that very means, as they profit by the trade brought to a town through the advertisements of other merchants.

Some men stoop when doing wrong, while others are simply on their : natural level in committing misdeeds. The sincerity of David Bennett Hill’s famous and oft quoted expression, “I am a democrat,” seems now to be seriously doubted by many democratic organs. David Bennett’s sudden spurt of honesty and fearlessness in giving expression to his political convictions is causing much alarm among certain professional politicians. Why Breckinridge Had Few Friends. Cincinnati Tribune: Breckinridge lost the sympathy of the public, if he ever had it, by bis confession that he never, at any moment,"-Ui-ought the fact or idea of love into his reluTUimr ■ with Miss Pollard. There are few offenses against morality which cannot be to some degree palliated or redeemed by love. Breckinridge is a man of scholarly attainment and poetic temperament, yet he seems to have overlooked this fact. The great unlawful loves of history carry with them some other idea than a base surrender to passion. No one rends of Lord N elson’s love for Lady Hamilton without feeling that there was something higher and better than mere animalism in their relations, or else, dying gloriously at Trafalgar on the deck of the Victory, he would not have said in almost his latest breath: “I commend Lady Hamilton to the generosity of my country.” There was no strain of love or honesty or decency in the relations of the principals in the trial just closed. They have furnished the closing decade of the century with perhaps the ugliest scandal ever publicly developed in the United States, and together they have put a blot on the fame for high morality which our country has enjoyed. The effect of the trial has been wholesome in away. It has made vice hideous and painted an awful lesson in the downfall of the dishonored Kentuckian . THE DEATH RECORD FRED YOUNG. Fred Young died at his home in this place last Sunday morning with paralysis with which he was first attacked in January last. He suffered a second attack April 3, after which he rapidly failed until his death on the date above indicated. He was confined to his home continually since January, being unable to walk. Previous to this illness Mr. Young had always enjoyed good health. The deceased was born in Leidersville, Alsace, Germany, Feb. 17, 1836, being at the time of his death but little past 58 years of age. He came to the United States in 1852, settling in Stark county, Ohio. He resided there until 1859 when he removed to South Bend, living in that city six years, then locating at North Liberty. From there he removed to Walkerton in 1888, residing here continuously from that time until his death. He was married in South Bend to Miss Eliza Fralick in 1859. To them were born live children, four of whom, with the mother, survive. The children are: Mary, Albert F. and William, of this place, and Flora, wife of Willis Perry, of South Bend. The deceased was a member of the Walkerton lodge, I. O. O. F., and the masonic lodge, of North Liberty, both of which organizations he was a faithful and valued member. The burial services were held at South Bend on Tuesday, the services being held at the Reformed church, Revs. Williamson and Goffeny officiating. The services were conducted under the rites of the 1. O. O. F., the lodge of this place attending in a body. The deceased was a good citizen, a genial, pleasant man, and his death is deplored by many friends. EDWARD LANE. Edward Lane died ou Wednesday shortly after noon at his home on the Yetter farm near this place. His death was very unexpected, being caused from heart failure. He had been ill with the grip about a week, but was able to be up most of the ! time. On Wednesday he ate a hearty dinner after which he laid down ou j the bed, but had been there but a few minutes when the family noticed him breathing heavily. The son went to him, finding him in an unconscious condition from which he did not rally, dying in a short time. The deceased was a stout, robust looking man and seemed good for many years yet. He was aged about ■6O years. The deceased was an old soldier, having served in the late war. The funeral services were held at (he Barber church on Friday at one o’clock p. m., Rev. Hildebrand officiating. Select seed corn for sale. Warranted to grow. One dollar a bushel. Cane seed free. A- ( ' R\upfn
