VOLUME XX.

THROUGH THE EAST. Tynf.b City, Ind., Oct. 18, ’94. Ed. Independent: A party of Tyner people left on the above date for atrip through Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The starting point was Plymouth, which )dace we left at 12 o’clock p. in. There were about 480 people on the excursion, most of whom were bound for Ohio. Among the party were Mrs. Lilly Johnson, of Tyner, Isaac Miller and wife and Mrs. U. Detwiler, all of Polk township; also Jim Caser and Chiistopher Bollman and wife, of North township. The train rolled alopg at a speed>of 40 ‘' in libs’it n lio nr, And at 10:80 o’clock we' reached Alliance, Ohio. At 2 o’clock l took the train at Alliance , for East Liverpool, Ohio, and from Ibis place I Went to Bridgeport. Here I took the afreet car and went across to Harper’s Ferry. My next point was Wheeling, W. Va. I next visited Martinsburg, Va. This is a railroad center and is

located in a great coal mining region. In one of Ihe coal mines alone 500 men are employed. My next point was Bunker Hill where marks of the great battle still remain. Many of the people in the Virginia mountains are poor. They build small houses on the mountain sides. They get their wood from tho top of the mountain, where they ent and then let it. go sliding down the mountain. You can see from five to twelve people in a small hut. All sleep and eat in the same room. How would Indiana people like that ? They are living on chestnuts ami bread at present. It the readers of tho ^lndependent wish to see hard times they should visit this country. Y’ou would then go buck home and say you were rich. My next point of interest was Oakland, Man land, one of the finest sum mer resorts in Hie world. It is located one hundred miles from Washington, and is a popular resort for the President and other high dukes. Here yon will see high living. Board from $1 50 to sls a day. . From here I went back to West

- _—4’llllll i IMlf i■ ij Virginia, where th«y tohk off five pus- | Monger couches and two baggage cars and put on four locomotives. Then we went living through tunnels and over the Allegheny mountains. Al some places it was 200 feet down the hank on one side and 3,000 feet high on the other. Now, I am going to tell yon the only reason so many of these people live in and round these mountains. It is all on account of their fear of winds in the west. The newspapers aggravate this fear by their reports of terrible cyclones in the west. This is what hinders western emigration from these mountains. The people are afraid us death of wind storms. During my trip I was all through the oil regions. There are about 500 gas wells on about 100 acres of ground in one locality, and they are still mak ing more. Some of the wells throw from one to four barrels a minute. Think of that. On the way to Pittsburg many interesting sights greet the eye. Cars may be seen running up the mountains, also wagons loaded with all kinds of stuff. The mountain is 590 feet above the level. The cars are kept in a horizontal position by means of their peculiar construction. The ears are 100 feet long and when on the level one end is three feet high I while the other is twenty. My next visit was to the coke mills, where you can see 500 coke ovens running at the same lime. I then visited the steel 1 and iron works, the greatest place I in the world for iron. I then cros ed ‘ the river and mountain and taking a j street car lauded at the I*. F. \V. & C. I depot. Here I took a train for Woos- i ter, Ohio, where I heard a democratic speech and then boarded a train for Tyner. A. D. Johnson. Farm for Sale. lam offering my farm of 100 acres for sale at $2,800.

Y., on the 22nd day of December 1836. She had two brothers and two sisters, of whom only one, a brother. Chancy A. Gaylord, of I aso liobles, California, survives her. She lived in the same county till 1860 when she came with her mother to Porter conntv, Ind. October 8, 1861, was united in marriage with Amos W. McCool, with whom she lived until her death. Four children were born to I hem, two daughters and two sous. While yet in childhood, the daughters were taken by Him who gave them. The sons, Hmirv and "’alter. with the lutahand. » u “ —i—to grieve her loss. Sho was n member I

No one know her bnt to love her and Christ can but say, “She hath done what she could ami in love receive her to himself." Her •lentil occurred in Walkerton exactlv at five o’clock in the morning, Oct 2t>, 1894, and her remains were tenderly laid to rest iu the family cemetery at McCool, Porter Co., Ind. Picked Up A hen pecked husband is often chicken-hearted. Talking is the safety valve of the feminine boiler. Every man makes a different noise when he sneezes. To a clever womau every man is a possible husband. A signature to a mortgage is usually a pretty bad sign. Ihe shortest day in the yeur is the day before your note falls due. It is not necessary to j nmp some people in order to get out of them all they know. There are not so many old maids who want to be wives, as there are wives who want to be old maids. A woman looking for a rich husband is wonderfully like a confidence man looking for a farmer. A hen a man says you are too smart to be fooled, look out. He is about to spring a scheme to fool you. Make hay while the sun shines, and the sun never shines so steadily and bright as when you are young. A school director down iu Kansas, while visiting his school recently, when asked for remarks by the teacher, said: ‘’Children, I’m glad to see that you have ciphered clear through ’rithmetic beginnin’ at addition, and going through subtraction, perdition, admonition, jurisdiction, hallucination, Derivation, creation and amputation. You went through the ’rithmetic like the late cyclone went through Cowley county, you made clean shuckin’ as you went. I’m much obleeged to you for your attention during my predatory remarks.” Remember that you can get all kinds of repairs and needles for the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine at the Globe clothing store.

Tell your neighbors about the In dependent's offer of three papers for 11.50. The long w inter evenings are coming when plenty of reading matter will not come amiss, and those who have not already taken advantage of our offer should |os“ no time in doing so. Remember, the Indeiendent, Womankind and the American Farmer all for |1.50. Every citizen of Lincoln township, irrespective of party, should vote for George Leslie, republican candidate for county surveyor. He is a home man and in helping his interests we are in a measure helping our own. And then it is time, anyway, that Lincoln township should be asserting herself a little more iu county matters. An exchange recommends those of an experimental turn of mind to take a leaf of a tree or shrub, place it over a small piece of white linen soaked in spirits of nitre, and insert between the leaves of a heavy book, with a sheet of paper to receive the impression. Lay the book away for a few days and then examine. The leaf will have been transferred to the paper in all the original beauty of tint and outline of the leaf. The Kendallville Sun says that two couples of married people became dissatisfied with their marital partners and the men exchanged wives, the transaction being agreeable all around. The city wife took up a home in the country, vacated by the woman who succeeded her in her former home. Each woman, by the terms of the contract, bargain or sale as the case may be, retains her two ' youngest children. The new city wife gains one child by the transfer.

The young fellow^uiw thinks advertising doesn’t pay, aid the old folks think it is pretty har< luck to have two fools in one familw Vincennes Commercial: A story is told o| a young man of a neighboring county that might have been serious instead of ludicrous. He paid a visit to his lest girl, and while getting out of his inggy both the buttons on the rear ol his trousers gave way. A couplwof matches were substituted for tha treacherous buttons, and all went well until, by friction against the ba|k of the chair, the matches became ignited. A conflagration was narrowly averted, and the young man is not over his fright yet. Value of Vaccination The value of vaccination is remarkably illustrated by the report of the Chicago board of health on the epidemic of smallpox in that city last year. The leport covers the period from the outbreak of the disease in June up to the end of the year, and shows that of the 140 patients admitted to tiN»smallpox hospital 42 had been vrtceiu^’A ami 98 'hwd ^u)t. <sf the 140 $3 d*oj>L and every one of these V’Hhs occurred among the unvuccioi^ patients. These figures speak tor themselves, and need no argument to enforce their meaning.— Ex. The Wrong Kind of a Doctor. A short time ago a young lady of Bourbon was troubled with a boil on her knee which grew so bad that she thought it neceessary to call a physician. She had formed a dislike for the family physician, so her father suggested several others, and finally said that he would call in the physician with the small ease, who passed the house every day. They kept a sharp lookout for him and when he came along he was called iu. The young lady modestly showed him the disabled member. 'l'he little man looked at it and said : “Why that’s pretty T 1 ? “ 'Veil.” she said, “what must Ijlor ’ “|f I were you.” he answered, I would send for a physician, I am a piano tuner.” —Ex.
