Indiana is said to be the only northern state in which the effect of alcohol and narcotics is not taught in the schools, and the ladies of the W. C. T. U. in many places are busily engaged in securing signatures of voters to petition the legislature for a law that will require scientific temperance instruction in our public schools. Prosecutor Oliver CHnningham acquitted himself with the highest honors in the conduct of the Peter Marrow ease, and his skillful management lauded the man In the penitentiary on | a ten years’ sentence. The case was i fought for all there was in it by the ' defence, but the verdict was generally indorsed by the public and Cunningham came in for a large share of public praise.—LaPorte Argus. J. B. Lewis Co., Boston are now making extensive alterations in their factory at Avon, Mass., so that they can take care of their largely increased business. Last season they were obliged to decline some orders in justice to their customers. This speaks very loudly the praises of this concern, and while other manufacturers were closed, they were running overtime. The Boot and Shoe Reporting Co.’s statistics show t his firm to be doing the largest volume of business of any manufacturer selling to the retail trade from Boston, which is the heart of the boot and shoe industry of the country. This means, in these days of competition, that up to date styles, courteous treatment, and prices lower than others care to offer make success.

The work on the Three I depot is being pushed ahead. The frame is now up. j j A. C. Hardenbrook and family have i moved into the Swank property, forms erly occupied by Rev. Snyder. > A. E. Cripe, the barber, in the ex- ' press office building. Eveij thing . neat and clean. Work done promptly > ' and with care. ' But few of our exchanges said anything, this year, about “the United States declaring war on turkey." This is encouraging.

It is now County Surveyor Leslie, he having assumed the duties of the office Tuesday, Nov. 20. Mr. Leslie has appointed Ex-County Surveyor Graves as his deputy for the present. The smallpox is stamped out in Walkerton. There is not a case in town. Walkerton indeed had abundant reasons for observing Thanksgiving day this year. Miss Vesta Leibole entertained the teacher and pupils of the high school on Wednesday evening at the residence of her parents. Refreshments were served and the evening passed pleasantly with music and other social pastimes. J. Emily will go to Chicago next ddonday to buy a fine stock of holiday novelties. (Don't fail to see them. Mr. and Mrs. George Kern entertained a party of friends on Thanksgiving evening. Dancing was the feature of the evening. Music was furnished by Messrs. Townsend and Hardenbrook. A pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Mrs. George Chapman was called to LaPorte by telegram Monday on aecount of the sickness of hei sou Elba’s little daughter Almet la,who died Tues day. The child was buried in the Walk ert.on cemetery on Thursday. Tin* funeral services wete held at the residence of George Chapman near this place. — An editor ami writer for the press who has followed his profession fol half a century and who knows all about the j'V;; and sorrows, the! tiiumphs and tribulations of (he country publisher’s life remarked that the most unpleasant thing about publishing a country newspaper is the petty jealousies an editor has to contend with. It is disgusting. The South Bend l imes of hid week says: “The >l. Joseph County Teach ers’ Association will meet Friday and Saturday of next week at the. High School building. W. W. Parsons, of the state normal school, will be the principal speaker. He is a noted Shakespearian scholar ami will give three talks on Hamlet. Many of the county teachers will take part and the meeting promises to be a great success in every way. No teacher van afford to miss this gathering." County Cleik fountain is operating under the new fee ami salary law. When Auditor Miler ami Recorder Slump's successors come into office in November, 1895, all the court house officers will be under that law. As all surplus fees over the salary are to go into the county’s coffers the taxi payers will eventually reap a harvest in the shape of lower taxes. By the new law the county has a dead cinch, for a man must make his salary to get it, but all the surplus over that salary goes info the county’s coffers. —South Bend Times. The following is Congressman Conn's opinion of the landslide; ! “There probably is no truth in the ■ report that President Cleveland, in his • coming message, will try to tlx the blame on congress for the defeat of the Democratic party. There has been a combination of circumstances in which Mr. Cleveland figured largely to which the defeat may be attrib- : uted. His appointment, of Secretary [ Hoke Smith lost the votes of nearly 1 all Democratic soldiers, his alliance । with eastern financiers and his stub- ! born resistance to the appeals of silver advocates coSt the votes of many free silver democrats, and his slowness and favoritism manifested in the distribution of public patronage created a .'widespread dissatisfaction among . i prominent .Democratic workers. It is t ; true, that the failure of congress to d promptly dispose of the tariff bill . \ added to the general discontent of the : public, but it is not likely that Mr. Cleveland will attempt to cover up his j own mistakes by public censure of I congress in his semi-annual message.”

BURNED TO DEATH. Terrible Fate of Miss Maud Baker. On last Tuesday night as Miss Aland Bnker was about to retire at the residence of William Sult, who lives near Koontz’s lake and with whom Miss Baker was making her home, the globe of the lantern which she carried to her room fell out and her clothes were instantly ignited. She ran down stairs screaming for help and Mr. Sult rushed out to the pump for a pail of water to throw upon the girl. She followed him out doors but the wind Catching her garments fanned them immediately into a blaze from head to foot. Before Mr. Sult could render assistance (he girl was fatally burned. She lived but thirteen hours after (he accident, dying in great agony. The flesh dropped from her breast in large pieces. It was a most pitiful sight.

MICHIGAN AVE., LAPOBTE. An Honored Veteran. The Postmaster of Kokomo, Cured of Heart Disease. t 1 i i i li I air 1 i j I I II bJLx /mH I I II I N I I'HfJ ft&S i / ' 0. W. McKINSEV, Kokomo, lad. Grateful ..... Men and Women of prominence, and those serving their country equally well by being simply good citizens, good husbands and good wives, show their unselfishness bv the anxiety manifested, when, having been cured of Heart Disease by Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, their first wish is to reach some other sufferer with the good news. G. W. McKinsey, an honored veteran of the war, and until recently, postmaster at Kokomo, Ind., writes under date July 26, 94: “I am constantly getting letters from all parts of the United States, asking for information of how 1 was cured of Heart Disease. As I had been severely troubled with Heart Disease ever since leaving the army at the close of the late war, I concluded, some two years ago, to give Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure a trial. The first bottle made a great improvement in my condition, and five bottles completely cured me, and I have not had a symptom of the disease since. I am rejoiced to know that my testimonial has induced others to use your remedies, and am glad to answer all inquiries for the sake of suffering humanity.” And J. R. Bigelow of Webster, Mass., writes on June 15, ’94: “One year ago I was so feeble from heart disease I was obliged to I retire from business, and my physician said there mas no chance for recovery. * * * * As a last chance I tried Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. It gave me instant relief. I am now well and in active business.” Medical statistics have proven that one person in every four has a weak or diseased heart: yet not one person in forty gives the matter any attention, notwithstanding the fact that Dr. Miles Heart Cure cures Heart Disease permanently in nine cases out of ten, and benefits every case. Dr. Miles’ Remedies are tho result, of twenty years of study and investigation by the great specialist in Nervous Diseases, Dr. Franklin Miles, and are sold on a positive guarantee tlmt the first bottle will benefit. All druggists sell them at sl, six bottles §5.00, Pills 25c., or sent, prepaid, on receipt of price by the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
