Stye independent. WAI.KKKTON. INDIANA. OCT. 6. 1894 W. A. ENDLKY, Editor. Hon. David B. Hill modestly accepts. The northwest has had a snow storm. A merry companion may not always be a right hearted one. 'Che weather man says that Indiana is soon to have a blizzard. Soldiers in China are paid $1 a month and they must provide their O.vn rations. Dr. James 11. Cocke, who has been blind from infancy, is a successful physician in Boston. The political bluffer on the st ump is a sad and conspicuous feature of American campaigning. Martin Irons, leader of the great railroad strike in 1886, is in jail at Ft. Worth, Tex., charged with criminally assaulting seven-year-old Rosalia Estrada. Dr. Hatch, the republican candidate for congress in the 12th district, is five feet tall and weighs 109 pounds, so it is stated by some newspapers. This may be a campaign He. Under the new law passed by the I. O. O. F. all white women over eighteen years old are admitted to the Rebekah lodges. Heretofore none but the wives or daughters of Odd Fellows were granted that privilege. Senator Voorhees addressed a political meeting at South Bend last Saturday evening. The senator is said to be much broken in health and not the powerful and magnetic orator that he once was in his palmier days. It is the experience of good and successful newspaper men that the advertising patronage which has to be coaxed for is not worth having. The only kind of patronage that is worth anything to an established newspaper is the kind that comes to it easily from good, sound, progressive business men The accounts of the cruelties pnv - ticed in the war between Japan and China read like the barbarous war times of old. It is almost incredible that such cruelties should be practiced in this enlightened age. If these ac counts be true, China and Japan should be ruled out of the list of civilized nations. The death of Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, removes one of the grand and imposing figures of war times. He passed away last Sunday at the ripe old age of 79. He was one of the famous war governors of the north and proved a powerful factor in promoting the Union cause during the trying times of the rebellion. When a woman is 40 years old she begins to learn how to live, says an exchange. Then, if ever, she is com panionable. She has gotten through with the romantic, sentimental nonsense of the early twenties and the vagaries and extravagances of the thirties. She can talk to a man without flirting and speak of her children without deifying them and fatiguing her friends. A woman who is not broad and clean minded, lender hearted, quick-witted, healthy, optimistic and lovable at forty was all wrong at the start. The State election commissioners are having the rubber stamps made for use in the November election. Tell thousand five hundred atiinips and as many pads will be required. Two years ago it is said that some of the counties in the State went to unnecessary expense at the elections, providing copies of the law and otherwise duplicating the work of the State election commissioners. This year three copies of the Stale election law, three pads, three stamps and three sample ballot posters will be furnished to each precinct.—lndianapolis News. The University Extension movement in South Bend seems to be meeting with success. Supplemental to the regular reading curriculum, lectures by professors from Chicago university are being given regularly. This educational movement, springing from the progressive spirit of this advanced age, is destined to become one of t he great and popular factors in promoting the education of the masses. Its great practicability, its cheapness and its accessibility for all classes of people are points of merit which give assurance of the success of University Extension in ail parts of this broad land. ]

Os all of Oliver Wendell Holmes’ poems “The Chambered Nautilus” was loved best by the “Autocrat” himself. The last verse of this exquisite poem is as follows: Build thee more stately mansions, O my sou), As the swift seasons roll I Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, statelier than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length are free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's Unresting sea! We see it st ated by a number of our exchanges that the committee a] - pointed by the democratic and republican state committees to give an interpretation of the township election law, has reported that it will be necessary to elect township officers for both the short and long terms this fall. I'he short term ends with August, 1895, and the long term of four years begins at that time. This will necessitate the nomination of another candidate for trustee, as the law prohibits a trustee from holding the olllce more than one term. Tills mutter may be worth looking into by the republican and democratic committees of Lincoln township, if they have not already done so. Oliver Wendell Holmes died at his home in Boston Sunday, Oct. 7. He was in his eighty-sixth year. His death will bo mourned as a personal loss by all lovers of literature. He was a great man, a good man, whose brilliant career added lustre to American letters. The works from his pen, both in poetry and prose, are numerous. “The Autocrat of the Breakfast I'able,” written in 1857, is perhaps his most popular work. This delightful production marked (he beginning of Dr. Holmes’ great fame and after its appearance he became one of America’s most popular writers. The group of Americans to which Holmes belonged included Hawthorne, Longfellow, 'Thoreau, Emerson, Lowell, Whittier and Margaret Fuller. He was the last of this great company, the “Last Leaf” to full from the bough. The Denver Sun removes the cloth from one of the prevailing evils of the day in the following manner. It says: There is one great evil in this country which we think the pulpit and the press ought to denounce more fie quently than they do—that is the habit of getting in debt and making no effort to pay. Can a man be a con sistent Christian and not strive to pay all his debts? Cun a man be a tunstian and not be honest? Is a man who does not try to live within his means and pay his debts an honest man? If so, we do not understand the bible. Should men who habitually disregard their financial obligations be allowed to remain in the church? We think not, and think that a man’s being a member of the church ought to be a letter of credit in any part of the globe where the Christian religion prevails. But it is not the case. Far from it. Dun’s Review for the week ending Oct. 6, says: “The lowest prices ever known for wheat and cotton necessarily imply somewhat restricted consumption of other products. With the chief money crops of the west and south sinking in value, it is not strange that purchases of manufactured products are smaller than was expected. Wheat has touched the lowest point ever known for options, and cotton the lowest ever known in any form with the present classification, and the accumulation of slocks in both products is discouraging to purchasers for an advance. Producers are compelled to sell at prices below the ordinary cost of raising crops, and in some western states there is also a lamentable failure of the corn crop. Under the clieimistances it would be very strange if the demand for manufactured products should be quite as large as in other cities. —- ♦ Wanton Killing of Michigan Deer The Michigan City News says that the annual slaughter of deer in the upper peninsula, Michigan, has begun. Over 250 carcasses were shipped through Escanaba for Chicago, Detroit and other cities Friday. This killing of the scarce animal is in direct violation of the game laws of that state, because they are not hunted in a sportsmanlike way, but chased down with dogs and lanterns and slaughtered without purpose. The pot hunters, who include farmers from Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, have been Hocking into the woods by the hunI dreds, asserting that they can earn ' more money killing deers than worki ing their farms. The woods are thick with hunters at night, who shoot with utter recklessness. Half a dozen set- ■ tiers have been slightly wounded by ' ' stray shots. Au effort will be made ' jto bar these hunters out of the state, j

What Doctors are Paid. Iu an article on “The Pay of Phy ß i cians and Surgeons,” in the Septein ber Forum, Dr. George. F. Shindy, editor of “The Medical Record,” states that the average annual income of a physician in full pract o ■ in a large city may be rated at $2,000 and iu the sinal ler towns and strictly rural districts at $1,200. According to his statement, “two or three physicians in New York city make over SIOO,OOO each year; five or six range from $50,000 to $60,000; fifty from $25,000 to $30,000; 150 from SIO,OOO to $12,000; about 300 from $5,000 to $6,000; 1,500 from $2,000 to $3,000 and the remainder from SBOO to SI,OOO. yKcaV E A i S, i HADE MArksmw V COPYRIGHTS.^ CAN I OBTAIN A PATENT?

Dr. NATHAN R. MORSE, Prop. Ton Know that you can secure almost immediate relief from Indigestion, an 1 that uncomfortable fullness after meals, I y simply taking a dose of Simin as Liver Regulator? 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 Bev. M.B.Wharton,B«lltijiore,Md “It afford# me pleasure to add my testimony to the great virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator. I have had experience with It, as occasion demanded, for many yean), and regard it as the greatest medicine of the times. Ho good a medicUifr deserves universal commendation.
