'rhe Independent was a little premature last week in stating that Noah Rensberger had sold his -esidence property. We had been so informed. The sale has not been made. Fine showers on Monday afternoon and night broke the drouth in this section, helped the corn and pickles some, cleared the atmosphere of the smoke and dust and revived the declining spirits of everybody. It was a most refreshing and timely rain. In all that goes to strengthen and build up the system weakened by disease and pain, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the superior medicine. It neutralizes the poisons left in the system after diphtheria and scarlet fever, and ^wtouaJh^ debilitated patient to perfect beatth^xucl vigor. A signal service station has been established here and daily weather re- 1

ports will be received and the flags ’ indicating the weather will be displayed from a pole on the EndlyBrady block daily at 10:30 a. in. The service was obtained througlf the efforts of Charlie Granger, who has been corresponding with the weather officials for the past two months in regard to the matter. J. Endly, the druggist, will have charge of the flags, and information regarding the signals may be obtained at his store. The Albion New Era says that it is the supposition that two of the men engaged in the recent attempt to rob the Lake Shore train at Kessler’s in this county, and the successful robbery at the same place a year ago, are the ones now in custody for robbing a train at Deerfield, a suburb of Chicago. Their names are H. F. Griswold and William Lake, and both are former residents of Elkhart county. Griswold was born at Bryan, Ohio, and in Chicago, whither he drifted, he was regarded as a “tough.” He was once a bar-tender at the Kelly House, Kendallville.

The celebrated Dr. Baker, of Mishawaka, who was born with a “double veil over his face,” died last Sunday morning of catarrh of the heart. He was formerly a farmer but his fame as a fortune teller because so widespread

that he had to give up farming in order to devote his time exeltibhsly to telling fortunes. The young friends of Miss Blanche Brown gave her a pleasant surprise at her home on last Saturday evening, that being the event of her 15th birthday. The time was spent with music and games. Kefreshmeuts, consisting of Ice cream and cake, were served at 10:30 o’clock. The guests were nicely entertained and they enjoyed the evening very much. There >s trouble over at North Liberty between the township trustee and the town school board. After the incorporation of the town hist । spring a school board was elected and as a matter of course it was supposed that the board would have control of ' ibe town schools, the same ns in other > incorporated town*. The. trustee, I

however, looked at the matter differ- 1 entiy and seemed to be of the opinion i that he should still have control of the school. The citizens are divided on the question, and it is said that the school is closed pending a settlement of the matter. The Soothers Price company rendered the high-class drama, “Faust,” from Goethe, in Bender's opera house on Friday evening of last week to a good house. The play is of a high order, embodying as it does much wholesome philosophy and salutary moral teachings. The scenic effects were quite good considering the disadvantage of inadequate stage room. It is a play, however, that loses much of its impressiveness and good effect . when given by a small company upon I a small stage. It is a play which is . essentially spectacular and is there- . fore adapted strictly to large com- , panies and commodious city opera 3 houses. Edwin Southers as Mephis--3 topholes played his role skillfully and , with fidelity to pure art. His support was also quite fair.

The creek running though the Fulmer place is beiug tilted iu aud the current straightened in order Io obtain bolter socoiuiuoda tious for bridge aud side tracks. Opening of the Walkerton Schools The fall term of the Walkerton schools opened on Monday with a large enrollment of pupils in each of the six depaitmeuts. The school opens under very favorable auspices and with bright prospects for a successful and profitable term. Some uew rules as Io discipline have been adopted by the board of education and the teachers which are unquestionably an improvement over the old regime. Under the new rules better order is to be maintained upon the school grounds, aud the nuisance of the pupils running so much to the postoffice is to be checked. Better deportment in regard to the pupils entering aud leaving the school rooms is also to be enforced. The school board and teachers are deserving of praise for the deep interest aud advanced steps they are taking in the government of the schools, aud iu their worthy efforts will have the encouragement aud support of every rightminded citizen of Walkerton.
