®ljc 3ndcpcni)enL WAbKESTON, INDIANA, OCT. «, 1894. W. A. END GEY, Editor. St. Joseph county has eleven railroads, with more coming. The Hebrew New Year occurred last Monday, Oct. 1, beginning the year 5,655. Jolm L. Sullivan is reported as saying that Corbett is afraid to meet Fitzsimmons. Secretary Gresham smokes twenty cigars a day. No wonder he is a little cranky some times. An esteemed exchange contains the following unique advertisement: “Great reduction in burial lots! Now is the time to die.” Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher is eightythree years of age and well preserved. She still contributes to many of the leading magazines. T. V. Powderly, the labor leader, will enter upon the practice of law, he having been admitted to the bar of Lackawana county, Pa. A contemporary aptly says that great statesmen are made by the study and advocacy of great principles. The man who indulges in “peanut politics'’ dwarfs himself. Mrs. Joseph Medill, wife of the editor of the Chicago Tribune, died on Monday last. She had been a resident of Chicago forty years. She was a woman of strong character and tine intellectuality, and was prominent and active in charitable and educational work. Col. Breckinridge has evidently not learned that “silence is golden” under some circumstances. The position he now occupies before the public does not warrant the bold and brazen tactics he is pursuing. Penitence would look better in the colonel’s case than anything else at present. Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, a member of the national house of representatives, is no doubt laying his ropes for the United States senate. He is an eloquent young democrat about thirty-four years old and is already considered a leader in the house. He is one of the coming men of the west. The editor of the Elkhart Journal, for many years a clergyman, has not been in the editorial harness very long, but he has learned some things that are pretty certain to be revealed to all newspaper men who devote themselves assiduously to their calling. Hear him: The journalist who toils unselfishly for the public, everybody’s concerns his own, all too frequently neglects his personal interests. Often at the end of the day he is himself a neglected man, having little comfort or consolation beyond the reflection that if success has not been achieved it has been deserved. Not a very comforting subject to ponder over, but true —very true. — South Bend Times.

The Ladies Relief society of South Bend will at some date in the near future conduct the Tribune of that city for one day, doing the editing, reporting, proof-reading, and, in fact, everything except the mechanical part. The proposition was made by the proprietors of the Tribune and the generous offer was promptly accepted by the ladies. The ladies are to have the benefit of all special advertising secured by them, the Tribune to give the services of its mechanical force free of charge for the day. The , scheme is a unique one, but withal apparently feasible. While it will doubtless prove profitable to the society it will also be a treat to the reading public of South Bend. The value of good roads in building up towns and communities is generally under-rated. There is no question but that they are wonderful factors in promoting commercial progress and increasing the value of farm landsand town property. The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer quotes a prominent farmer of Mecklenburg county as expressing the opinion that Charlotte’s growth and improvement are largely due to the roads leading to the city, and saying that lands in his section had increased much in value in consequence of the better roads. He mentions two tracts which were bought last year, one for $lB an acre, which was sold this year for $25 an acre; the other for $lB per acre, which sold for S3O. These figures serve but to strengthen the belief that good roads do much for the towns with which they afford ready communication.

It is said that the indictments ’ against. ex-Gov. Chase in connection - with the wrecking of the Greentown L bank will be dismissed. The editors and reporters on the _ Fort Wayne Daily Journal have been setting type on that paper the past few ■ days. The printers went out on a strike last Monday on account of the । employment of a new foreman. A wag at Wabash made the declaration the other day that “there was no women in heaven,” and declared tie could prove it. The proof was demanded whereupon he quoted the following passage of scripture: “And when he opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven for about the space of half an hour.” The politicians of LaPorte county are having a great time over the coroner question. The Argus explains the situation as follows: “The name of the democratic candidate for coroner is Long and the name of the republican candidate is Short. The funny part of it is that the man who is Long is short and the man who is Short is long, and that is the Long and Short of the whole mutter.” David B. Hill was nominated by acclamation for governor by the democrats of New York State. He was given the nomination, notwithstanding his earnest protests, amid great enthusiasm. Senator Hill is the idol of his party in New York state, today, notwithstanding the fact that he has not been in harmony with the rank and file of his party on certain questions in the past few months. He will have Cleveland’s scalp some of these times. Prof. David Swing, the eminent Chicago divine, passed away last Wednesday after an illness of only about a week. He hml been a frail man physically for many years, but his great will power and energy had served to keep him active and fullof vigorous purpose throughout his life. He was a deep student and a wonderfully keen and clear thinker. As an orator he was only commonplace. His age was about 64. In the death of David Swing Chicago has lost an excellent and valued citizen, the world of advanced thought a leader, and mankind a brother. W. H. Glassock, assistant superin--1 teudent of the public instruction, pre- • diets that the Indiana school term । will be materially lengthened by the new apportionment of State money, which will be made soon. The increased railway taxes will largely go into school channels, and there will be more money with which to pay ’ school expenses. At present the ’ average Indiana school is in session ■ 132 days in each year. The city j schools continue 179 days, the town . schools 143 days and the township ’ schools 124 days.—Exchange. 5 If there is any extra money to des vote to school expenses why shouldn’t * it be used in increasing the salaries of 1 teachers? Their pay, as a rule, is too small, considering the nature of their j work, its responsibilities and requirements.

Vaccination. The subject of vaccination being of such great interest at present we give the following extract on the subject from Austin Flint’s work, kindly loaned us by Dr. Arlington: “Directing attention first to the descriptive history of vaccinia in naan, on the third day after vaccination (the operation being usually performed on the arm near the insertion of the deltoid muscle), red points, slightly elevated, that is, small papules, are apparent at the spots where the vaccine virus was inserted. On the fourth day the papules are more developed and reddened. On the fifth day vesicles are discoverable. The vesicles increase, presenting an umbilicated appearance, and on the eighth day they attain to their full development, being elevated from two to three lines, and measuring one third of an inch in diameter. The vesicles, like those of smallpox, are multilocular, flattened at the summits, and contain a transparent, viscid liquid called the vaccine lymph. On the ' seventh day a red areola is apparent, extending from 1 to 2 and 3 inches around the pocks, increasing in redness until the ninth or tenth day, and the contents of the vesicles become more i or less purulent. At this time there is usually slight pyrexia with some local pain and pruritus. The lymphatics of 1 the arm become swollen, and the glands in the axilla may become enraged and tender. On the tenth or eleventh day the pyrexia subsides and the redness around the pocks diminishes. A dark spot soon appears on the center and gradually extends over the whole of the pocks. The pustules desiccate, and by the fifteenth day they are converted into black hard scabs which fall off' usually by the tweutyi fifth day from the date of the vacciI nation,”

LINCOLN TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATS They Meet in Convention and Nominate a Township Ticket. The democrats of Lincoln township met in convention at Bender’s opera house Saturday evening, Sept. 29, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the several township offices. The meeting was called to order by J. ,J. Miller, chairman of township committee. On motion J. J. Miller was made chairman and J. F. Strang secretary. Grant Tank and James McCabe were selected as tellers. Ou motion convention voted to nominate the several officers beginning with trustee, and to vote by ballot when more than one name was presented. N. B. Shoemaker and J. F. Strang were placed before the convention as candidates for trustee. The first ballot for trustee resulted as follows: Shoemaker, 26; Strang, 121. Shoemaker was declared the nominee, and on motion of J. F. Strang hiaJ*^ illation was made unanimous. J: Samuel Wenger was plaou4A^^ re Hio nonvAntion tin onndiduto for *Tc * sor and was unanimously uouiiW.W. For justices of the peace the ftrjowing names were place 1 before the convention : A. Barkley, U. F. Townsend, Enoch Simmons nud J. F. Strang. Simmons and Strang declined. The declination of Strang was disregarded and the result of the YOte was as follows: Barkley, 7; Townsend, 30; Strang, 35; Frank Ake, 3. The convention voted to make the two receiving the highest number of! votes the candidates, and Strang and Townsend were declared the nominees. Several names were presented as candidates for constables. All declined except John Jackson and Sideuliam Ewing, who were nominated by acclamation. Short speeches were made by the candidates, after which the convention adjourned. Dorit Ton Know that you con secure almost immediate relief from Indigestion, and that uncomfortable fullness after meals, by simply taking a dose of Simmons Liver Keg ul a tor? Some people think that because it is called Liver Regulator it has nothing to do with Indigestion and the like. It is the inaction of the Liver that causes Indigestion, and that fullness; also Constipation, and those Bilious Headaches. Millions have been made to understand this and have been cured from these troubles by Simmons Liver Regulator—a medicine unfailing and purely vegetable. From Rev. SI. B. Wharton, Bultimor*, Md ‘‘lt affords me pleasure to add my testimony to the great virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator. I have had experience withit, as occasion demanded, for many years, and regard It as the greatest medb cine of the times. Ho good a medicin* deserves universal commendation.
