The ordinance passed by the town council forbidding dogs and cats to run at large upon the streets for sixty days from Saturday, Sept. 15, on account of the smallpox epidemic, is working like magic. The owners of dogs are obeying the law quite well and keeping their canines confined to their premises. Several dogs have been shot by the marshal this week.

An epidemic of diphtheria, for instance, is of a more dangerous character than smallpox and is usually attended with a greater per cent of fatality. We have less to dread now than when we had diphtheria in this place two years ago this coming winter. Scarlet fever is another dangerous contagious disease perhaps equally as fatal in its results as smallpox. In the latter contagion, too, there are effective preventatives with which to fight it, while in most others there are none. ’Squire U. F. Townsend, president of the Walkerton board of trustees, is in receipt of a postal card from a watch manufacturer at Streator, 111., who makes inquiries in regard to Walkerton, its railroad facilities and advantages as a location for manufacturing establishments. The gentleman wants to know 1 what inducements Walkerton would give to secure a watch factory with a capital of $150,000 and employing from 200 to 300 hands. The factory has been established forty years, the gentleman states in his postal. When it comes to railroad Ca< ilitu-r and natural ad- | vantages we have got them, but the 1 other part is not sure. Still, the matter is worth looking into, and if the ■ factory can be obtained for anything like a reasonable donation we should ! not let the opportunity go by. Our citizens propose to investigate the matter and see what there is in it. “There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to prosperity,” quoth Willie Shakspeare. This is also true of towns.

IN CONDOLENCE. We, the members of Walkerton Lodge No. 263, K. of P., desire to extend to our dear brother, George Chapman, our sincere sympathy and heartfelt condolence in the loss of his daughter, Mrs. Florence Hardy, late of South Bend. Florence was a true | woman, faithful in all her relations in ’ j life, and she was one of those persons ’ of whom it could truly be said that the world is better lor her having lived in it. liie death of such a per- ' son is a loss to the world, a crushing J blow to the relatives and friends. ° Committee.

Bellinger & Williams have a full line of school supplies. The Globe clothing store has received a fine line of fall clothing in the latest styles. Watch for their ad next week. It is reported that Forepaugh’s show is stranded in the southern part, of the state, the greater portion of the menagerie being attached by the employes for wages due. The large underground tank at the flouring mill containing the oil used as fuel sprang a leak, the fore part of this week, and about fifty dollars worth of oil was wasted before the tank could be fixed. The Plymouth Republican is authority for the following: “There is a case of small-pox near Teegnrden. Andrew Mott and wife visited Dr. Doud while he was broken out with the disease, and Dr. Neville reports that Mrs. Mott broke out Sunday morning. The house has been quarantined for several days and every precaution taken to prevent the spread of the disease.” A well known farmer, says an exchange, gives his preventative of hog cholera. “Some years ago my neighbor's hogs were dying all around me, and some of them died at my gate, but none of mine ever had the disease. The cause of my hogs not taking the dreadful malady was that 1 mixed soda with their food two or three times a week. Some times I gave them the soda in slops and at other times I wet the corn and rolled it in soda and fed it to them. This is a sure pieventative and will keep the hogs in healthy condition, and I do not fear hog' cholera.” South B -nd Times: Hon. Lew. Wanner is a native of Reading, Berks county. Pa , and comes from one of the best known democratic families of the Keystone State. He located , at Goshen about nineteen years ago, | to engage in the practice of law. Six . years ago he was the democratic nominee for circuit judge of the ElkhartLagrange circuit court, overwhelming- ’ ly republican. He made a very credit-I able though unsuccessful race. For several years he was superintendent , of the water works of Goshen. i Wanner is a gentleman of popi^ju ’ **»*nner», a smooth Utikw 49 years' interesting family. Bingham and Bruce will be Candidates.

The South Bend Tribune is authority for the following: "There has been filed with Clerk McMichael in accordance with the new election law the certified action of tho Plymouth i judicial convention, by the clutiriunn ! and secretary thereof, wherein it is al i leged that E. Volney Bingham for ; circuit judge, and W. 11. Bruce for' prosecuting attorney, were regularly ; nominated ns candidates for those respective offices on the democratic ticket. So without injunction steps are taken their names will be placed in their proper positions on the ticket . to be voted for next November. There have been threats of an injunction to j prevent this from being done, but all opposition seems to have subsided and the two candidates will come before the voters in the regular way.” Personal Points.

Rev. Henry McCool has completed ■ ' his term as pastor of the Rolling Frairie Presbyterian church, ami will re- | main at home here until the opening of' McCormick university in Chicago where he will attend for another year’

looks brighter. the smallpox epidemic daily growing less serious. The Disease Being Confined to Narrow Limits 1 he cloud which has been hovering ominously over Walkerton for the past two weeks is lifting. The days are passing by without the disease spreading beyond the limits to which it was confined more than a week ago. Most of the known exposures have passed by the period of danger, and the situation is indeed encouraging. Each day now adds a new ray of hope to the prospects. There have been but three new cases developed since last week’s Independent, and these are in the family of Dr. Doud. The doctor’s two grown sons and his little step-son, aged about eight years, are the new Cases. The oldest son, Ward, has had n severe form of the disease, but nt this writing—Friday morning — quite an improvement in his condition is reported. The patient rested well last night, the first for several nights. The other two cases in the Doud family are still in the primary stage and have ns yet developed no serious symptoms. Mrs. Baker and child are reported as improving. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Vincent’s three-year old child, which is having a mild form of varioloid, is doing finely. The erup- 1 tioos on the child are very light. Charles Cudney is now able to be up and he is acting as nurse in the Doud family. There are now but six cases in town. But one death has as yet occurred during the epidemic—that of Mrs. Doud. The epidemic has been confined to its original limits very successfully, thanks to the good judgment and ( , vigilant precautions of the health । officer and town board and the wise co-operat urn of the citizeus. At the present rate, the disease, in all likeliI hood, will soon be stamped out. At least, should it perchance continue to ■ spread It will be in spite of all the ! care and precautions that can possibly ;be taken to prevent a spread of the ' disease. The Independent believes, j however, that it can assume with a . large degree of certainty that Walkeri toikhas seen the worst of the epidemic j ant that it is being gradually stamped jthw Everybody should take precau--,I I I I l liUMJ ur Smße uTTief gnnn utamirctnuu i It trill pay to be careful iu this mut- . ter.

Postmaster Nichols is fumigating all the mails leaving his office, the dogs and eats are not allowed to run nt large, the schools have been dismissed, and public meetings of any character are foibidden for the present. Nothing, in fact, is being left undone to check the epidemic. The Independent has strong reasons for , believing that it will be able next week to give a still more hopeful picture of the situation.
