The Knights of Pythias of Knox will dedicate their [ine new lodge building next Tuesday evening with a banquet and speaking.

About fifty Walkerton K. of P.’s will attend, going by special train over the Three 1 road. ~_An exchange says women who work ~over gasoline stoves should know that «gneg of alum in-the rinsing water flpled in it al_most MHA, imable. If the apron and #9rint dresses are rinsed in alum water and then ironed as usaal the danger ~ of their catching fire while at work over the stove is much lessened. The town board, as will be seen by the report of its Inst meeting, decided to extend the town’s corporation limits, The arrangements will be completed as soon as the weather is more favorable. By extending the limits the town’s property valuation will be considerably increased and the census swelled | about two hundred more. This will ( be a great help towards getting water ‘ works eventually. If a man be arrested and offer the magistrate a sum of money to clear him he would be guilty of bribery and could be severely dealt with for it. Yet the state itself provides in certain cases that if the man be convicted the magistrate and other oflicers shall receive pay and otherwise they shall receive nothing, thus practically offering a bribe to convict the accused. This is an injustice to officers and accused that should be abolished without delay.—Columbia City Muil,

The land is located near the lake and the timber on it is mostly oak. It is said that a man is legh]ly responsgible for slanders uttered by his wife. If such a law really exists, unless it is subjeet to considerable modification, it is certainly a very lame one. Business, both in passenger and freight traftic, has increased considerably of late on the B. & O. railroad. A large number of new train hands have been employed in the last three or four weeks. Editor Davis has leased the North | Liberty Herald to Vietor H. Jump. e advertising colums of the Herald —ré being well patronized by the business men of North Liberty. They seem to appreciate the value of a newspaper over there. Attorney Henry C. Dodge, of Elkhart, was fined about two years ago for contempt of court by Judge Vanfleet, and the case was ecarried to the supreme court by the defendant. Last week the supreme court confirmed the decision of the lower court, and Mr. Dodge will have to pay the penalty. The INDEPENDENT expects to make a number of valuable improvements to the office within the next three or four months. Among them will be a new power press. As we will need a large amount of money to do this, we respectfully ask those indebted to us to call and settle promptly. Rev. Morse, the evangelist now assisting Rev. Riley in the meetings at the U. B. church, is a very successful revivalist. He has been associated with the celebrated Moody in revival work in Chieago. He is a very interesting speaker, and his presence here is a treat to our people. (o and hear

him. Charles Weitsell, of Grovertown, | and Fred Greenburg, of Plymouth, sparred ten rounds with six ounce gloves in the opera house at Plymouth | Tuesday evening, i'eb. 12. ‘The con- | test was witnessed by a fair sized andience. The referee has not yet| given his decision. It is said that he has not yet made up his mind. He || will probably get around to it before spring. The revival meetings at the M. E. chureh closed last Sunday evening. Rev. Stockbarger put forth earnest efforts and inspired a great deal of interest in the revival, but all through the meetings he had the worst of weather to contend with, which interfered greatly with the attendance. After the close of the meetings at the U. B. chureh Mr. Stockbarger expects to hold another series of meetings to continue about ten days and will perhaps have an evangelist to assist him. Last week a merchant in one of our neighboring towns, w ile sweeping out his store, found a nickle on the floor. He put the following notice in the window: “A sum of money found last Tuesday in this establishment. The owner will receive the same within upon stating the amount.” Over 200 people called and announced the loss of money. The losses ranged from $1.40 to $1,600. No one claimed the loss of a five-cent piece. Many of those who called spent more or less in the store. All of which proved the old adage that honesty is the Dbest policy.—Greencastle Banner. February Weather. Toster, the weather predictor, says the next storm will reach the Pacific coast about the 16th, cross the western mountain conntry by close of the 17th, the great central valleys from 18th to ;2()!11 and the eastern states about the | 24th. This storm will initinte a most | remarkable period of weather, and the \cnuntry will experience almost everything from & tornado to a Dblizzard. Extremes may be looked for, but more cold than heat. Tornadoes may be expected in the southern states and severe ‘| cold waves in the north. The warm | wave will cross the western mountain | country about the 16th, the great cen tral valleys about the 18th and the ' | eastern states about the 20th. 'The - | ecool wave will eross the western monn- | tain country about the 19th, the great »lcentrnl valleys about the 19th, the | great central valleys about the 21st, , | and the eastern states about 23rd, and l will give the eastern states a Dblizzard.
