Next week the Independent will I close its nineteenth volume and the I eighth year under the present manage- | ment. As usual, we shall send out ■ statements to all delinquents and trust that they will respond promptly. Those who cannot pay now will please remember us when they are able to do so. All who donated money towards the building of the Swindell creamery—and are therefore interested in the grounds on which the creamery was located—are earnestly requested to attend a meeting in the town house Wednesday evening, July 11, as busi-

ness of importance will then be transacted in regard to the matter. Committee. Last Tuesday evening when Albert t Parker, of near this place, went home from town he was very much surprised to And his lawn well lighted with Japanese lanterns and so many of his friends awaiting him. They had taken advantage of his 24th birthday to get up a surprise in his honor. Despite the busy times about 45 people were present. Refreshments were served about 11 o’clock, and all enjoyed the occasion very much. A dispatch from LaPorte of July 1 says that no hope is entertained for the recovery of James Carr, the wounded burglar confined in the county jail in that city. His dead companion, whose name is unknown, was buried to-day at Mill Creek. Carr and his accomplice were caught early yesterday morning robbing the general store of Collum Bros. Their discovery was the signal for a lively fusillade of bullets. Oue burglar was instantly killed and his companion mortally wounded. No arrests will be made, as the shooting was clearly in self-defense. The Collums were called to the store by a burglar alarm, and their appearance was the signal for the firing.

The democratic state convention will ba held at Indianrpolis Aug. 19. The wheat yield is splendid and the quality good, in this locality. But the price—there’s the rub. The Three I people are organizing at this place preparatory to commencing operations on the extension. Men are arriving in town to commence work on the Three I extension. A portion of them are from Milwau-

" kee. The pay car arrived here Monday । and remained until Thursday before going into Chicago. A number of railroad men came here from South Chicago during the week to draw their p«yHardenbrook and Cook, of this place, gave a sparring exhibition before a large audience in Nye’s park at Winamac on last Tuesday. The entertainment was given under the management of W. L. Richmond, formerly of this place, who has charge of the park. The K. of P. lodge installed its newly elected officers on last Tuesday evening. I). W. Place was the installing officer. The following appointive offices were filled by the C. C. as follows: Chas. M. Stephens, I. G.; L. C. Strang, O. G.

The Presbyterian church gave a lawn social at the residence of H. Nelson on the afternoon and evening of July 4. Ice cream, cake and lemonade were the refreshments served. The tables were fairly well patronized. The lawn was brilliantly illuminated in the evening with Japanese lanterns and torches. On Thursday night the strikers were raising cain in the vicinity of the stockyards in Chicago. Several buildings were burned, trains blockaded and general terror reigned. This Morning—Friday—General Miles has given out orders that unless violence ceases there will be some shooting done to-day. Mail train No. 16 from the west, due here at 9:15 a. m., was about an hour late Friday morning, it having run the gauntlet of the strikers at South Chicago. The engine presented a sorry appearance, the windows of the cab being broken and other evidences of rough usage being visible. This train carried no mail. The ice cream social at the residence of S. A. Robbins mentioned in last week's paper was given by Mrs. Thomas Dougherty's Sunday school class instead of the Epworth league, as we stated. We had been informed to this effect and taking it for granted that the information was correct we inquired no further; hence the mistake. Jap Devoe fell from a ladder on Thursday while working on Noah Shoemaker’s new house near the U. B. church, and in falling the heel of his shoe struck Father Yerrick on the forehead which knocked the old gentleman senseless for a few minutes. He, however, soon rallied, and aside from the shock no serious injury resulted. When Engineer Reneman of the milk train was leaving South Chicago Thursday evening a number of strikers boarded the engine and threatened to kill him in case he run the train back the following morning. Reneman left here with his train for South Chicago the next morning just the same. What the outcome of the trip was has not been learned at this writ-

ing. A dispatch from Michigan City of July 3 says that James Grayheat and a man named Stambaugh have been arrested for the murder of William Jones. The murder was committed June 5, but was only confessed yesterday and the men were arrested. Stambaugh and a woman filled with liquor were trying to gain an entrance to Cirayheat’s house, when he fired, killing Jones, a bystander. The body was made heavy with iron and sunk in the harbor. The murderer is an ex-con-vict and was sent up from Tippecanoe county nine years ago. Congressman Wheeler, who is now in Walkerton in the interests of the Three I, is of the opinion that unless the Senate recedes somewhat from its position on the tariff there is a strong probability that the tariff bill may not pass the present congress. He thinks the temper of the House is such that the bill in its present shape cannot possibly receive the sanction of that body. The most vigorous opposition, he thinks, will be made on the sugar schedule, and there will also be a strong fight on the iron and coal features of the bill. The congressman will return to Washington in time to vote upon the measure.

Every soul is by nature sinful. There are therefore an i almost infinite number of sinners. The law broken is influitly holy; the sin , committed is against an infinitely holy God. Ihe punishment for sin is of infinite duration, hence the sinner needs as infinite sacrifice. He cannot provide an infinite sacrifice, hence Christ, the iufiuit^” e ' must have been the sacrififiL o®**^' 0 ®**^' Hence the religion of ChristaM* 1 nok ,iare beeu of human but have been of divine origin, from hl&ven. Secondly, the speaker claitued that the mind of man was not capable of finding out God of and by himself. The finite could not comprehend the infinite. This had been de-

monstrated by the history of the human mind. God gave them 4000 years in which to form a religion themselves. If they were capable of doing it they would have done so during that time. The speaker spoke of the meditative Hindoo mind and the philosophic Greek mind and Greek language, all calculated to bring forward the most subtle and analytic philosophy, calculated to form systems of religion but none of them had found a system of religion which brought salvation to the human soul. The speaker then spoke of the limitations of the human mind and closed with a comparison of Christianity with other aud pagan forms of religion. His peroration was eloquent and the whole sermon attentively listened to. ~. Any one wanting a bargain in a new canopy top buggy of the Studebaker make should call at the Indepkndent office.
