Miss Horner, a sister of Mrs. William Baker, who took care of the latter during her sickness, and the infant child of Mrs. Baker, were the victims. Both deaths occurred on Tuesday but a few hours apart. There are no new cases. The Fifth Ward Republican club rooms at South Bend were opened last Wednesday evening and a very successful meeting was held. Among the speakers present was Thompson Turner, of this place. In referring to his speech the Tribune says: “Mr. Thompson Turner, of Walkerton, also spoke and carried the large audience by his able and earnest speech.” The ten-year-old son of William Clark, of Tyner City, while attempting to jump onto a freight train about 5 o’clock Tuesday evening fell under the cars and had both legs mangled He lived but two hours after the acci dent.

There is a business man in this city who will not, attempt to sell a customer anything during a thunder storm. Thunder drives him nearly wild with fear.—LaPorte Argus. Walkerton has a new case of smallpox if reports are true LaPorte Argus. The reports are false. There has been no new cases here for nearly

three weeks. M Ida Beach has received her stock'd fall millinery; including the latest shades in hats and trimmings and also the latest novelties in ornaments, etc. i A fine variety to choose from at the lowest prices. Ladies, call and see. The key to success, in any department of life, is self-denial. Idleness, laziness, wastefulness, come from lack of it; while industry, promptitude, economy, thrift, and a successful career are the result of it.—Neal Dow. A report was circulated Friday morning that Mrs. “Pud” Kellogg had smallpox, but there was no truth in the report. Dr. Denaut was called and found that her disease was nothing but hives. The smallpox situation at Walkerton remains unchanged. Several new cases have recently broken out and all efforts to arrest the spread of the disease seem unavailing.—Goshen Democrat. Where did you get your information? The Independent is not aware of any such state of affairs in Walkerton. The fact is, Mr. Democrat, that the epidemic is not spreading, but is rapidly abating. Thore have been no new cases for nearly three weeks, and the disease has been confined to the limits where it was at the beginning of the epidemic. The outlook is bright and the prospect of an early stamping out of the disease ven encouraging. ‘‘Why does the young man riding his bicycle,” anked a gentleman of the Rochester Republican, “double himself up like a homo-made doughnut the minute he begins to work the ped als?” Yes, and why does a fellow when he goes to thrown ball, first have to screw it into the palm of the right bund with his left, then hop on his right foot while he bumps his chin with his left knee before he throws it ? And why dots a man when he gets a $45 horse and a $lO cart have to reign the poor crow-bait up like a turtle treading water till it can’t see the ground in front of it, and goes along as if trying to read the answers in the stars? Why does a girl whom nature has given a clear and healthy complexion have to paint till she can’t wink for fear of breaking the enamel ? Why does she bang her hair like a spitz poodle and make her head look like a window mop? Financial Help for Walkerton. Walkerton is relieved of the financial burden incurred from fighting the smallpox epidemic. Dr. H. D. De naut, secretary of the Walkerton board of health, and George P. Ross, mem her of the town council, went to Indi anapolis last Monday evening with the purpose in view of securing financial aid from the state to defray the expense of the contagion, which has thus far amounted to about SI,OOO. Their mission was successful. They called on Governor Matthews, Tuesday, and after laying the case before the governor the latter decided that Walkerton’s demands were just and that the town should be helped. As the law provides that the state is not to render assistance until the county fund is exhausted, the governor authorized Dr. Metcalf, secretary of the state board of ' ' health, to telegraph Dr. Montgomery, ■ • secretary of the board of health of this ’ county, to call a meeting of the county J commissioners to consider the question of an appropriation to defray the expense incurred in suppressing the ep--1 idemic in Walkerton. The commis- £ sioners met accordingly in South Bend 5 on Thursday to consider the matter. r Dr. Montgomery, of South Bend, Dr. 1* Metcalf, of Indianapolis, Dr. Denaut, members of the town council, and 3 » Trustee McDaniel, of this place, were J- present at the conference. The comt- missioners decided to meet the expense o incurred in suppressing the epidemic n out of the county fund held in reserve ie for such purposes. Walkerton’s treasig uiy is exhausted and this aid comes as a great boon.

A writer in the Paris Temps relates bis impressions of his travels in Ameri ca. \\ hut struck him particnlarlyi was not the falls of Niagara, theinqni-^tiv. ness of reporters, or the cousumbtinn of pie, but the fillings in American teeth. He has consulted the statisti oians and finds that the amount of gold aunnally pounded into the dental cavi ties of our people reaches the figure of 800 kilogrammes, representing a value of $500,000. All this precious metal is buried with the Yankees when they die, and consequently at the end of three hundred years the cemeteries of

the United States will contain gold to the value of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. He thinks this will prove too tempting to the practical mind of the future American, and foresees the day when companies will i be organized to mine the cemeteries 1 and recover the gold secreted in the j j jaws of deceaseri ancestors.—Albany, j , N. Y., limes Union. j *•* ( BRAINS IN A JACK POT. । The Novel Poker Game Played by a । Party of Newspaper Men. Poker has been played with every- (* thing from pea beans to a SIOO bill, : I but perhaps the most curious commod-1 ■ ity that was ever passed about over the ! I green cloth occurred the other night 1 ( among a party of New York newspa- ! ( per men. Somebody suggested that ■ the evening hours would .pass more if all hands indnlaed »•» »•— national game. Everyone was wining^^ ac . cording to the Herald, whed ao _ count of stock was taken it was discovered there was only about $1.50 in the crowd and everybody objected to playing for “wind.” After a little dis cussion someone bad an idea, which he : put in these words : “Let’s appoints committee of two as judges, then for ‘ an hour let us each sit down and write short stuff for the Sunday paper. Everything that the committee agrees upon as being good enough to be printed shall be accepted as cash and can be paid in as equivalent for a stack of chips.” This idea met with instant favor, and for an hour or more nothing could be heard in that room but silence. At the end of that time each one produced his quota of al leged interesting stories, and the com । mittee to which it was submitted, reading it all with a lenient eye, pass > ed nearly the whole lot. Then the s game began and furnished the curious ) spectacle of men opening Jack pots । • for a quarter of a column and anteing i with a “stick” with a fixed limit of a column, including the head.—Ex.
