Qilje independent. WALKERTON. INDIANA, APRIL 28, 18M. AV. A. ENDLBY, Editor. Owen to certain adverse influences our Aaron failed to knock the persimmons. There are 499 ex soldiers and 114 widows of ex-soldiers In the poorhouses of Indiana. If it is true that, “Sweet are the uses of adversity,’’ the country is having a sweet time of it just now. It is said that a Kansas City lottery company is working the people of northern Indiana by selling bogus lottery tickets. It is thought that there is a probability of Kelley's army going to pieces and disbanding from internal dissensions. It is to be hoped that it will. Andrew Carnegie’s offer to contribute $1 for every dollar raised otherwise before March 1 for the relief of the poor in Pittsburg cost him $125,170.72. - .... I Henry Ives, whose success as a free- ( hooter in the financial world gained for him the appellation of the “Napoleon of finance,” died recently of consumption. An eminent statistician estimates ' that during the course of an ordinary 1 life the average man will eat seven 1 four-horse wagon loads more of food ' than is good for him. 1 “Commander” Browne read an orig Inal poem before the Coxey army, the other day. It is said that the men 1 stood firm without flinching through ; out the reading. The people will now ’ have a better opinion of the Coxey 1 army than they have had heretofore. The Coxey movement has stirred up । Citizen George Francis Train, who । proposes to go to Washington to speak . on the new movement. The country , can stand such cranks as George Francis, but if some Guiteau or Pren- , dergast doesn’t pop up out of all this . trouble it will be strange. A plot to assassinate General Kelly ' has been discovered, and the conspirators, it seems, are men of his own army. This adds a new and very un- ( „ pleasant feature to affairs, as " that there are some bad, desperate < men connected with this movement , who are ready to foment trouble up on the slightest opportunity. Elkhart Review: The policy of ! some societies in Elkhart of asking free notices of the newspapers, and 1 then taking all their job printing to offices which cannot possibly advertise ’ them, is nt least a lit ’e cheeky. It * would be fair to let the newspaper ! offices do the printing, too, if they do 1 the free advertising. ■ । / The other week, while Editor C. 0. Fenton, of the Logansport Times, a prohibition organ, was attending a State convention of his party at Indianapolis, a mischievous compositor in sorted a local saying: “For a nice, cool mug of beer go to J. P. Sebastian’s.” The ent ire edition was run off and largely circulated before the editor learned of the circumstance. It is needless to say that the gay young | compositor was summarily discharged,। but Editor Fenton is still trying to explain to his indignant patrons. These few thoughts from Bob Burdette to his son we commend to the. thoughtful attention of every young inan who imagines himself overworked: “Remember you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-borrow or a set of books, dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an auction bell or write funny stories you have to ! work. Don’t be afraid of killing your- ! self by overwork, it is beyond your i power to do so on the sunny side of, thirty. They die sometimes, but it is j because they quit work at G p. m. and > don’t get home until 2a. m. It is this interval that kills them.” Editor Rosewater, of the Omaha Bee, one of the best known editors in j this country, is serving out a thirty : days sentence in jail, besides being I compelled to pay a tine of SSOO, for casting reflections upon the rectitude of Judge Scott, of the district court,. ’ It won’t do, even for big editors, to . get too gay in criticising the acts of representative men like Judge Scott. . Some papers in their eagerness to make a favorable impression upon the I masses become unjust, hypercritical, in their comments upon public men. This criticising business is being carried too far, with too high a hand, by many newspapers, causing much injustice to be done to public men.

Preliminary arrangements are being ’ made to recruit a Coxey army at De- - troit. Kelley’s army has reorganized and is marching towards its goal, Wash- - ington. s Both parties in a divorce suit at - Goshen are deaf mutes. But they should be given a fair hearing just the same. Editor Weamer, of the Bristol Banner, is now a disciple of Blackstone, having been admitted to the practice of law at the Elkhart county bar. The following beautiful little article, by an anonymous writer, appeared in the LaPorte Herald: “The victory of Christ over death is the promise and pledge of our own. This is the bow on the cloud, as through falling rain, by the vision of sight, we may behold the bow encircling the cloud which darkens the East, so through falling tears by the vision of Christian faith we may behold the brighter bow of divine promise which is set on the cloud that darkens our homes.” An exchange says tiiat Madeline Pollard will “star” in a “society” drama as soon as her difficulties with Col. Breckinridge are adjusted. Zella Nicholas, the adventuress, is billed for an appearance on the stage shortly, and Dan Coughlin has had an offer from a theatrical manager. The work of “elevating” the drama goes steadily on. Now if Col. Breckinridge could be induced to appear in a play entitled “An Old Fool,” the top notch in this “elevating” business will have been reached. Sidney Smith once gave a lady of two-and-twenty receipts against melancholy. One was a bright fire, an other to remember all the pleasant things said to her, another to keep a box of sugar plums on the chimney place and a kettle simmering on the hob. In commenting on it afterwards he said: “I thought this mere trifling nt the moment, but have in after life discovered how true it is that these little pleasures often banish melancholy better than higher and more ex alted objects, ami that no means ought to be thought too trifling which can oppose It in ourselves or in others.” — -* Hon. W. D. Owen, of Ixigansport, was nominated for secretary of state at the republican state convention field niHiirOrpollg JaM Wednesday The can**£SSf Tor the nomination | were: W. I). Owen, of Ix’gan»|mrt; Aaron Jones, of St. Joseph county; J E. Watson, of Rushville; M. IL Sulzer, of Rochester; Jasper Packard, of New Albany. Aaron Jones, n man abund antly qualified for the position, and who made a hind fight and spent a small fortune all to no purpose in his campaign for this office two years ngo, an off time for republicans, certainly merited a re nomination. But then the ways of politicians are past finding out. Unfits Them for Life The cigarette and cigarette smoker is given a black eye by Dr. Jordon, president of Stanford university, form erly president of Indiana State I'ui versify, in the following language: “As a college teacher my experience with boys who have formed the cigarette habit is somewhat limited. It i however confirms me in the opinion 1 that such boys are like wormy apples, they drop long before the harvest time. Very few of them advance far enough to enter college. Very few of those who enter last beyond the first year. They rarely make failures in after life because they do not have any after life. The boy who begins cigarette smoking bt-fore he is fifteen never enters the life of the world. When others are taking hold of the world’s work he is concerned with the sexton and the undertaker. Thore is one grim argument to be made for Abe use of cigarettes by boys, it helps on the survival of the fittest. The manly boy does not smoke cigarettes. He has life in him, plays foot ball, steals water melons, goes swimming on Sunday, hunts ducks—does anything but j deaden himself with narcotics.” Mrs. T. S. Hawkins, Chattanooga, Tenn., says: “Shiloh’s Vitalizer ‘SAVED MY LIFE.’ I consider it the | best remedy for debilitated system I I ever used.” For dyspepsia, liver or I kidney trouble it excels.
