£Uje Jnbcptn&ent. WALKICRTON, INDIANA. FEB. 23, 1895. W. A. ENDEEY, Editor. Three Papers for the Price of One. 'The Independent, through ils clubbing arrangements with the publishers of Womankind and the American Fanner, is enabled to furnish all three papers for $1.50 in advance. •’l’he Womankind is a sixteen page monthly journal for the home, and the American Farmer is a monthly of the same size and devoted to the farm and tireside. Both are excellent journals, the regular subscription price of each being 50 cents. 'l’he combined subscription price of the Independent gud the other two papers is $2.25, but by our liberal offer you get them all for only $1.50. Tins combination affords a liberal amount, of reading matter at a very smalt price. One million dollars in gold sank with the steamer Elbe. Eugene Debs thinks that Lis case will never come to trial again. It is said the Kankakee drainage bill has been side-tracked in the legislature. The friends of Lieutenant Governor Nye are active in pushing him forward for the nomination for governor. The United States senate has a majority for free silver. 'l’he white metal seems to be steadily gaining friends. The Elbe disaster will be investigated. Criminal negligence is charged to the crews of the colliding vessels. A disciplined conscience is a man’s best friend. It may not, be his most amiable, but it is his most faithful monitor.—A. Phelps. An earnest movement has been inaugurated in France to separate church and state. A measure looking to that end was voted down recently in the house of deputies. Hiram Maxim says a man should be able to fly by his own energy if he had forty pounds of muscle in his arms, seventy pounds in his chest and a breast bone twenty-eight inches deep. 'l’he Chicago News says that the Minnesota man who was charged S2B for a shave and hair cut in a levee barber shop the other day got off lightly. He was rescued alive by the police. Extreme weather, whether cold or warm, is said to be very depressing to the nervous system, in fact conducive io mental weakness. The natives of extreme climates, as is well known, b.ave very sluggish intellects. An agricultural bulletin says farm animals in the United States are worth nearly $2,000,000,000; there are 15,000,000 horses, 2,500,000 mules, 50,000,000 cattle, including 16,000,000 milch cows: 42,000,000 sheep and 44, 000,000 hogs. Ex Governor Isaac P. Gray, United States Minister to Mexico, died on Thursday evening of last week of pneumonia. He was taken ill while enroute to Mexico after a visit to his son in Indiana. By his death the democratic party has lost one of its ablest men. Senator Holler’s bill asking for a Jaw to preserve forest trees is one of the most important measures before the Indiana legislature. Our forests are rapidly disappearing, which means great harm to climate and soil, and a law that will prevent the destruction of our forests can not be passed too soon. The West is no longer (he Eldorado that it once was for young men. The South now' offers the most inviting field for young men of energy, industry J and good business ability. 'l’he “new : South” is now undergoing a process of' rapid development from its old time ! apathy and sluggishness to a condition of energy and thrift. In referring to the report that he had i been offered the Mexican mission, G<>v. ) Matthews said: “The story is without I foundation. lam not, have not, been, | and will not, lie an applicant for the ap-| pointment. No messages have passed bet ween the president and myself con- : corning the mat ter. I was elected to | serve as governor, and if life be spared ; me I hope Io (ill the oilice to the end of । my term. I believe that Mr. Gray’s) successor should be conceded to In-: sliana and I hope that I.lie president i pui v app mt some good man.”

Hon. “Bill)” Williams, of Warsaw, will call the book, which he is now writing, “Adios.” The book will be campleted by the middle of April. 'l’he finance committee of the United States senate has reported a measure for the free coinage of silver. Out of all (he agitation and discussions pro and con on the currency question which is now going on something good ought to come. The drift of public sentiment seems to be for a system of true bi metalism. 'l’he Michigan City man of family who is getting only 88 cents a day can scarcely realize such days as these that the wind is tempered to the shorn lamb. There are many of them who are toiling eight hours for 88 cents or nine hours for 90 eents. Weather like this is a terrible time for such men and their independent families. —Michigan City News. It. is an outrage that men with families should have to work for 88 cents a day, be it winter or summer. There is no excuse for it. Any man who puts in a reasonable days’ work is worth more than 88 cents to his employer, and in nine cases out of ten the employer could pay more than that for an honest day’s work, were it not for his insatiate greed. There is something wrong things affairs when a hard working man can not earn enough to keep his family comfortably. A great wrong is being allowed to go uncorrected. The Country Press Wo have heretofore asserted and now more than ever believe that northern Indiana has the best local journals to be found in a similar area in any state in the union. We are not alone in our estimate on this subject. In conversation with the publisher of a country journal of western New York and also one engaged in the same occupation over the line in Pennsylvania, both of whom were on a visit in company to the west, —each took the same view. Indeed they were load in their praise of the conn try press of the west in general, both of them declaring that they were far ahead of the eastern country journal. Having several times made this as sertion in these columns, we were pleased to have it corroborated from such a source.—Warsaw Daily Times. The eastern publishers are correct in their conclusions regarding the Indiana press, and more especially northern Indiana. It is a fact however, that the press of this state is not as profitable financially as other states which join it. Illinois is the most profitable state for country publishers in the west, for the reason that each township in a county has three separate and distinct annual reports to bo published, as well as numerous forms of legal blanks not used in this state. The people of Illinois usually support the preset with a better grace than the people of Indiana.—Albion Demoe rut. Late Real Estate Transfers. Harriet R. Cunningham to Charles S.

Mr. Baughman tells us| it has been 52 degrees below zerofl where he lives and that he worked j nearly all day. Glen has the finest sleigh in town; ii* has room for one only. While Lewis Lemert was driving/ along the road one of his horses got scared and jumped into the barb wire fence which gave it some bad injuries. Colman Watkins was ut Knox to attend the dedication of the K. of P. hall at that plane. George Swathwood has again moved to this place. Dan Gensinger has bought the property occupied by the postoflice and expects to put in a full line of agricultn* ral implements. John Clark who has been sick at Mr. Shenk’s has been moved to the home of his brother, Ben Clark. Mack Metcalf is the happy father of a pair of twin girls. Meeting will possibly continue this week and next by Rev. Morris. B. F. Letherman, a farmer living near this place, was forced by his creditors to make an assignment. Through the confidence of his many friends Mr. Lol Herman went beyond bis means and by the pressure of the hard times was unable to meet his ob ) ligations. The indebtedness will j probably reach seven or eight thousand dollars by few preferred creditors. He will be unable to pay any amount on the dollar. We learn that L. L.
