Jnittpen&ent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. MAY 26, 1894. W. A, ENDLEY, Editor. The latest is that the common wheel has been taken out of Coxey’s head a id a safety put in its place. There is no Jack of republican candidates for the various county offices this year. “Barkis is willin’." The republicans of Elkhart county are having a little family quarrel over the congressional question. Indiana will doubtless quarantine against Chicago if the smallpox epi- j demic continues to spread in that city The republican city officials of La- ' Forte, recently elected, can not serve, as they failed to qualify as prescribed by law. The Coxey craze is waning. It no longer occupies a conspicuous position in the newspapers at top of column next to pure reading matter. With the Three I railroad, the water-works, canning factory, etc., on hand, the average public spirited citi- ' zen of Walkerton is having a great J deal at present to attract his attention and stir his imagination. ( The near approach of Decoration । day is reviving the old joke about President Cleveland going a-fishing, etc. It would seem that this old witticism had served its time faithfully and should be shelved for awhile. Congressman Conn has decided to re-enter the congressional race. There will be no opposition to him in the convention. Mr. Conn will make a stiff run and the man who beats him, if such a thing should happen, will have no walkaway, even if this is a republican year.

Governor Mathews, says the Fort Wayne Journal, has received several letters of late asking him to name a day for fasting and prayer over the disturbed condition of the country, owing to the threatened altitude of the thousands of idle workingmen and the general bad state of affairs. That profound knowledge of American history for which the English press is noted is shown by the London Court Journal as follows: “Mr. J. S. Coxey, after whom the ‘Coxeyite army’ is named, is a famous horse- : breeder, whoTiveS in the neighborhood of Lexington, a place renowned in connection with the beginning of the revolutionary war.” The Tenth district republicans are having quite a wrangle over two candi dates for the congressional nomination. They are Judge Johnson and Charley Landis, editor of the Delphi Journal. Each candidate has a large and determined following, and the chances are that there will be lively fun at the convention. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says there was not a native American, a German, or an Irishman among the rioters that attacked the Variety Iron Works in that city the other day. There was scarcely a man among them who could speak English. They were aliens in their speech, in their methods, and in their understanding of the laws of this country. They represented anarchy, and they furnished a good illustration of the need for more stringent immigration laws. Says the Indianapolis News “if men, by combining into armies and marching through the country, with no way of living except upon alms, can rely upon the charity of the cities and towns through which they pass to keep from starving, it will at once be seen that the tramp industiy will ha*”’ cnarm. V, ork is I distasteful enough to the average man and the bread of idleness is sweet to him. It will not do, therefore, to make it easy for men to live without work.” The postollice department has sent to all railway mail service employes circulars calling attention to the postal regulations requiring postal clerks ! to accept all prepaid mail matter offer- I ed them at their cars and to forward ■ it. to its destination. Inquiries have been received at the department from almost every section of the country indicating a general misunderstanding, due, it is stated, to incorrectly intimating that the section of the regulations making the obligation has been re pealed. The rule is declared to be still in force and refusal to comply will render clerks liable to dismissal unless special authority has been given.

NO FOUL PLAY, j - - Is the Conclusion of Coroner Varier in the Arnold Case. The death of Charles F. Arnold, of Lincoln township, this comity, oc- ' cnrred March 9, 1891, very suddenly 1 and, as thoughtby some, under peculiar 1 circumstances. The deceased was 49 years of age, and left a wife, father and mother and one brother, who also live in Lincoln township. There was but 1 little said about the cause of his death at the time thereof, but shortly thereafter, the father and mother began to think their son hud been foully dealt with, consequently they requested Coroner Varier to exhume the body and make an autopsy of it. The coroner, after listening to their request, 1 thinking it but an idle creation of their । own minds, refused to comply. After this nothing more was said until about two weeks ago when the coroner received another personal notice from the parents of the deceased, urging an investigation. To pacify the old people, the coroner agreed to investigate the case, and if the evidence warranted any reasonable suspicion of foul play he would exhume the body, make an autopsy, and if necessary a chemical analysis. The doctor accordingly took the evidence of Dr. Arlington, of Walkerton, the attending physician, the wife, brother, and a number of neighbors of the deceased. The evidence disclosed no suspicion whatever of foul play of any kind. The facts as disclosed by the evidence taken are these. On the morning of March 9, deceased ate a very hearty breakfast and did his chores as usual. His wife after breakfast went to see a sick neighbor, leaving Rosa Shull, the servant girl, to do the work and prepare dinner for Mr. Arnold. About 11:30 a. m. Miss Shull rang the bell for dinner thinking Mr. Arnold was out at work, but he did not come. Miss Shull went to the barn to look for him and found him lying behind the horses in the stable. He was uncon-

scions and had probably been lying there since morning. Ilis wife, neigh hors and Dr. Arlington were summoned as soon as possible, but ho did not rally and died at 3 p. m. The deceased hud been subject to heart trouble for four or five years. When Dr. Arlington arrived at his bedside he found him unconscious with stertorous breathing, clonic spasms of arms and legsand rigidity of muscles of back and neck and convulsions returning about every five minutes until his death. The verdict of the coroner is that the deceased died “from brain clot, resuTiing from organic disease of the heart.” The symptoms did not justify anv suspicion of poisoning and any such suspicions are believed to have been entirely wrong and erroneous. —South Bend Times.

Sam Thomas is living in his new house, though not entirely finished. Abe Schafer was at South Bend last Friday with calves and poultry. The Hon. H. G.

' Farmers are considerably discouraged on account of the exceedingly wet weather. Gyrus Schafer and family, of Walkerton, were here one day visiting the former’s parents, his brother Abe and family and George Shaal and family. Mrs. C. Schafer is a sister to Airs.

The North township Sunday school convention will be held in the W. M. church in LaPaz on Tuesday, June 7. An interesting programme has been prepared. All Sunday school workers are cordially invited. Mr. Jas J. McDonald, Dep. Sup. Com. of the K. O. T. AI. came here last Tuesday and remained over Sunday. He went from here to Nappanee and Alilford last Monday. The commencement exercises of the North township public schools on last Saturday night were intensely interersting. All the graduates nine in number acquitted themselves nobly. There should have been ten, but one failed to come. The ball was densely crowded, and all seemed deeply interested. The Misses Laura ami Lizzie I Boss and their two brothers Jake and । Trank gave us some excellent music. ; The Rev. D. C. Linville gave an interi esting talk to the class of ’94, after i which County Snpt. Fish presented the I I diplomas. We hope the class of '94
