The Knights of Pythias lodge at Kendallville has a brass band. Trains have been late on the B. & O. the past week on account of the Pullman strike. Mrs. King, mother of Mrs. Al White, of this place, died at her home in Syracuse on Thursday evening. Chas. M. Stephens has an announcement in this issue, calling attention to his stock of fruits and vegetables. The opening of the political conventions at Warsaw and Elkhart was attended by prayer. That is very encouraging. The “Three I” railroad company received a black eye in Lincoln and Liberty townships, but as they have two good ones left they may be able to see their way through all right. The undersigned desire to return their sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors, the Walkerton cornet band, and the I. O. O. F. lodge for kindness rendered in their late affliction. George Daugherty and family. Hon. T. J. Wolfe, of this place, is being urged by friends in different parts of the county to accept the republican nomination for joint senator of St. Joseph and Starke counties. He is considered a strong aud available man. Elba Chapman and family, late of LaPorte, have moved to Walkerton, Mr. Chapman having been employed as agent of the L. E. & W. road at this place., J. J. Houlihan, the retiring agent, expects to return to his home in Illinois soon. At Plymouth on Wednesday the democrats re-nominated Congressman C. G. Conn by acclamation. S. Bertram, of Knox, was nominated for joint senator of St. Joseph and Starke counties aud Jacob Bozarth, of Knox, for joint representative of LaPorte aud Starke counties. The assassination of President Carnot, of France, is deplored all over the civilized world. The murderd president was a good and able man and a fiiend of the poorer classes. The man who killed him is an anarchist. A full account of the assassination will be found elsewhere in this paper. Miss Lillie M. Bosserman, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Bosserman, of LaPorte, was married in that place last Wednesday to Mr. S. Q. Bass, a medical student of Cincinnati, O. The event took place in the Methodist church, Bev. Cissell performing the ceremony. The bride is well and favorably known among the young "WWWfp of Walkerton. Those who attended the wedding from this place were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Grider, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Brubaser, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Koontz, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ake and Miss Laura Koontz. The pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Northern Africa, Southern Spain, and other points in the bkf world, which is being organized by Mr. 11. G. Thayer, of Plymouth, to go by special chartered steamer for sixty days, will certainly be a delightful trip for those who are financially able to bear the expense. It will be the “event of a lifetime,” and will disclose to those who participate in such scenes and incidents in wonderfully strange lands as to furnish food for pleasing and exhilirating thought for the remainder of life. The “Itinerary” and a descriptive pamphlet of the cruise are on our desk, through the courtesy of Mr. Thayer. The total cost of the trip will be $525. —Argos Reflector.

Pallor, languidness, and the appear- • ance of ill-health being no longer fashionable among ladies, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is more largely resorted to as a tonic-alterative, nervine, stomachic, and builder-up of the system generally. This is as it should be. Ayer's is the best. A lawn festival under the auspices of the Presbyterian church will beheld at the residence of H. Nelson on the afternoon and evening of July 4. There will be nice refreshments, music by the cornet band, fireworks, addresses and a general good time. Everybody come. The almost certain prospect of getting the Three I road here this summer is inspiring. It means thousands upon thousands of dollars to Walkerton. We are to be congratulated upon getting so much for comparatively nothing. It is a stroke of good fortune that falls to the lot of but few’ towns under similar circumstances. The Epworth League gave a lawn festival at the residence of S. A. Robbins on Wednesday evening. Ice cream, cake and lemonade were served. The lawn was beautifully lighted with Japanese lanterns and presented a gay and inviting scene. The Walkerton cornet band furnished a number of choice pieces, adding much to the pleasure of the occasion. There was a good attendance, and the affair was a success in every particular. Mackintosh Bros., of Milwaukee, Wis., railroad contractors who have the contract of building the Three I extension, are getting things in shape to commence business at an early date. The contractors have begun erecting ware houses near the B. & O. depot in which to store material, tools, etc. Walkerton will be the headquarters of the contractors and the distribution of material will be made from this place. Mr. Mackintosh informs the Independent that there will be 2,000 men employed along the extension, 1,000 of whom will make Walkerton their principal headquarters. From four to five months will be required to complete the extension. The LaPorte Herald in its account of the sparring match in this place last Wednesday evening states that after the first few rounds Neher used Cook for a punch bag. That is a falsehood. Neher was pawing the air most of the time. Neher’s intentions were good, but whenever he made a lunge at Cook the latter was hardly ever there. On the other hand, Cook had but little trouble in hitting Neher whenever he felt like it. The Herald is not to be censured. It has simply been imposed upon by some thoughtlessor unprincipled fellow, the same as any paper is apt to be. The LaPorte delegation of sports must have had a most brilliant liar with them, who gave the Herald its pointers. Cook hardly received a scratch, while Neher—well, LaPorte people can see for themselves. Sporting News The democratic judicial convention, which was held at Plymouth on Wednesday, June 27, was a corker. Harmony was an unknown quantity in the proceedings. The fight was over Ford and Bingham and the feeling ran so high between the two factions that the delegates, many of the more hotheaded ones, rushed to the stage howling and shaking their fists in each other’s faces and calling each other all sorts of pet names. A few of the delegates, it is said, got punched in the head. The scene was a perfect bedlam for a time. The city marshal was called in to quiet the trouble but could do but little. Some of the delegates threatened to throw the chairman out bodily. Finally in all this rumpus the friends of Bingham de--1 dared that he was nominated. This was quite a surprise to the Ford men, who could not see it that way. The latter also declared their man nomi- ’ nated. There was no formal adjourn- - ment but the delegates just simply ■ left the hall about three o’clock. At • the Vandalia depot it is said that bad i blood again showed itself and there r were two fights. What the outcome • of the affair will be is hard to tell just 3 now, but this will certainly not be the end of the sport.

SPARRING ENTERTAINMENT Two Clever and Interesting Bouts at the Pastime Club Rooms. An amateur exhibition of sparring of considerable interest and merit was given at the Pastime club rooms in this place last Wednesday evening. The program consisted of two matches, the principals being Vern Hardenbrook, of this place, aud Charles McCarty, of Michigan City ; B . E. Cook, of this place, and John Neher, of LaPorte. Hardenbrook and McCarty were the first in the ring aud gave a six round bout, for points, which was sharp, lively and eonsumutely clever on the part of each one. Both are heavyweights and pretty nearly matched, Hardenbrook perhaps being a little more agile than his opponent. Both men, while doing clever and lively work, were smiling and good natured ..throughout the contest. Eight ounce ■loves were used. The bout was deJared a draw. Joe Sullivan acted as ' Kferee iu this match, and the seconds 1 ere: Jo© Kennedy and Charley i’Oonner, of Chicago, iu Harden^ook’s corner, and Joe Harris and Mm Kennel, of Michigan City, in MoCarty’s corner. Cook and Neher then followed, the bout being fifteen rounds, for points with six ounce gloves, Marquis of Queenebury rules governing. The contrast in the size of the two men was considerable, Cook being at least twenty pounds lighter than Neher. But Cook’s agility and wonderful dodging qualities made up most effectually for what be lacked in size. He kept his opponent busy throughout the fifteen rounds. Cook showed more science than his opponent, but the latter's advantage in size and strength made the mutch a pretty even thing. It was a lively and clever exhibition, and was declared a draw. The referee was P. 11. Fitzgerald, of Chicago, who was the second with Harry Gilmore for Jim Barry, in his recent fight at Now Orleans. He was honest and impartial, his rulings being satisfactory to all sides. The seconds were; Joe Kennedy and Charley O'Connor, of Chicago, in Cook’s corner, and Joe Harris and Joe Alien, of Michigan City, iu Neher’s corner. Joe Sullivan, of South Bend, acted as master of ceremonies. Call for the flour with the pretty girl ou the sack. It is "Delightful.” Walkerton Milling Co.
