Debs, who has been sentenced to serve a sentence of six months in jail, h:s decided to make no appeal, and will serve out his time like a little man. ‘ SHEAREIE AT YRR RS AR U ‘ President Cleveland has ordered a delegate representing the United States to accompany the Turkish mission for the investigation of the Armenia massacre, RIS R TR RIS The Indiana soldiers’ monument _.now in process of construction at &ndianapons will not be completed - wuntil 1898. It will be the finest mon- ~ umentin the world. RNS TR S TWhitelaw ﬁ?iﬁ?ﬁii?)ﬁf the New York Tribune, who sailed for Egypt a few weeks ago for the benefit of his health, is reported to be much worse. His disease is quick consumption. There is a hog disease spreading through some parts of the country which resembles cholera, and is generally pronounced cholera, but it is now claimed that it is a different disease, which is caused by wheat feeding. SNBSS W RN o) Andy Bowen, who was defeated in the prize ring at New Orleans on Fri- - day night of last week, has since died from the effects of a blow received during the fight. This makes the second ring murder within a few weeks. These unfortunate affairs will militate greatly against pugilism. e | A meeting of college presidents is to be held in Chicago Jan. 11, to dis~cuss the practicability of eliminating professionalism from college athleties. The main object of the meeting will be, it is said, to consider measures for modifying the game of foot ball so - that it will be less rough and dangerous. ———— A missionary station for the propagation of Buddhism is to be established at San Francisco. Bishop Gimyo Adachi, priest of the Yohoho-Ji, the principal temple in -~ Gyoto otmwn“’rdié gion, will have charge of the mission. He will have a corps of attendant priests to assist him, as would seem necessary from the above. The sultan of Turkey is becoming frightened over the attitude of the Christian nations in regard to the Armenian massacre by Turkish soldiers. =He has reason to be frightened. The sultans throne is tottering and and the reactionary influence of this last horrible atrocity will go far towards hastening the eventual overthrow of Turkish power in Europe. RSB T BTSSP The Milwaukee Telegraph, a republican paper, talks pretty good sense to its party friends as follows: “Don't be silly, boys. The Democratic party is not dead. It may be rather quiet just now, but it will thaw out before the next election and be as kitteny as ever. hy, it still has several millions of members. Dead? Don’t you believe it for a minute. Get down to work as soon as you can and be ready to meet the cheerfulest old dead party you ever heard of a year and a half from now.” The fake correspondents which infest northern Indiana should be suppressed, and the press of the state is the factor that can aecomplish this. . What an imposition such stuff as these snide ecorrespondents produce is upon the readers of mnewspapers! Their lies have no news value and certainly no real literary merit; then what is there to their misleading productions? They only waste newspaper space and injure the standing of the journalistic profession. The papers of northern Indiana should give these fakers no rest until they abandon their unworthy calling. The official canvas of the vote in Indiana shows that the republicans elected twenty-one senators and the democrats four. The republicans have eleven hold-over senators and the democrats fourteen. This showing gives the republicans thirty-two members in the senate and the democrats eighteen. In the house the republicans have eighty-one members and the democrats eighteen. The result in Tipton | county was a tie vote btheen the re- t publican and democratic candidates. On joint ballot the republicans have | 113 votes and the democrats thirty-six, ] thus making the republican majority | on joint ballot seventy-seven. i

An exchange says that in these days of smallpox prevalence in the great cities, where the ‘“sweat shop” drags out a slimy, monstrous, diseased and disease breeding existence to the abasement of every honest principle in the employment of labor and the debasement of wages, it behooves everyone to be careful where they buy | their clothing. Many a mysterious | origin of disease could be traced to the filth and degradation of “sweat shop” hells and the goods made in them. The movement for a new ecourt house will command the support of every citizen who understands the jeopardy in which the records of the county are now placed and the inconvenience with which business is transacted in the old building. The county can afford to put up a building adequate for the purpose and should delay it as little as possible.—South Bend Sunday News. St. Joseph county is no doubt in need of a new court house, a structure that will be safe and substantial. But anything of an extravagant nature in this direction would be met with spirited opposition by the majority of the tax-payers of the county. Let us have a good, decent court house but no LaPorte county extravagance. Horace Greely was right when he said: “It is strange how close men read the papers. We never say anything that men don’t like but we soon hear of it and everybody tells us about |it. Tlf, however, we happen to say a good thing we never hear of that—nobody seems to notice it. We may pay some man a hundred compliments and give him a dozen puffs, and he takes | it as a tribute to his greatness—never | thinks it does him any good.

Just how the gun was discharged no- | body is able to explain. His arm was | torn off at the shoulder, making | frightful wound. Hg was conveyed to | the house and messengers sent for | medieal aid.
