The revival meetings at the U. B. church will close this week. There has been quite a large number of accessions and a Junior Y. P. C. U. organized with 32 names. John Baugher is figuring on buying the George Henry properly, consisting of five acres, for a site for his planing and saw mill. The creamery ground is also under consideration for the ■“Kime purpose. Rev. Morse, the evangelist, delivered a strong and stirring address last Sunday afternoon to “men only,” at the close of which over 100 stood up expressing a desire to lead a better life. His short visit to our city was pleasant and will be fruitful for good in the future. Have you tried the Star soap? It has no equal. Gives splendid satisfaction. It is manufactured near home, the Union Soap Works of Michigan City being the manufacturers. Be careful to save the wrappers, as a certain number of them call for prizes, such as silver thimbles, gold watches, polishing irons and other articles. Ask your dealer for the Star soap. What peddlers are to a city or town the fake advertiser, who goes about with “hotel cards” and a raft of other hold-ups, has the same connection to legitmate mediums of advertising, says the Michigan City Dispatch. Though they be total strangers they guarantee to leave a copy of their newmade scheme in every front dooryard in the town and county, and then they will deliver a certain number to each advertiser on the street ami he will send them out. Such promises are ^Bum-fifths delusion and no smart busi--2’ e caught by them. ■ metimes good, and when the I merchant mails them he knows just what, he has, but the surest and best advertising in the world is in the columns of a good newspaper; besides, these men pay taxes, rents, insurance, employ much help and make the \ world move. Our Sentiments. Xe sincerely believe that more men * qo to hell for the way they treat .eir horses than any other thing. We have often thought, when we saw a poor horse starved, whipped and tied out in the cold, while his master sat by a good fire and ate a good dinner, that the wrong animal was in the harness; it should have been the two- legged brute instead of the horse. We think the “golden rule” should apply to our animals the same as to our neighbor . We should think it rather tough to work hard al! our life for our board, and that is all the poor horses get. And sometimes it is very poor and no bed at all, —Churubusco Truth.

Garrett has a new enterprise—an engine, boiler and machine works. I have 25 gallons of fine Ohio ) maple syrup to sell. A. H. Noble.

If you cannot be suited with our line of spring and summer clothing, which is now’ enroute, your condition will certainly demand a doctor’s attention. T. J. Wolfe. 'The Richmond Comedy Co. presented the play, “Won at Last,” at Bender’s opera house on last Monday evening to a good house. Harry Richmond in the leading role was clever as usual and was well supported. His wife, Mrs. Maud Richmond, as the leading lady, acquitted herself most creditably, and surprised her many friends of Walkerton where she has lived from girlhood. The Majestic Range. An exhibit of the Majestic Steel Range has been held the past week at the hardware store of T. J. Reece & Co. One of the ranges has been in constant operation during the exhibit, baking biscuits, cake, etc., which were served with coffee to the people free, a neat table being spread on which to serve the dainty lunch. This lias been the largest exhibit in the line of steel ranges ever held in Walkerton and has attracted much interest and attention from the people of Walkerton and vicinity. The Majestic is undoubtedly a fine range and is sold at a very reasonable price. It is reported that when Champion Corbett was in Logansport the other night lie went into a restaurant to get a piece of pie, with a glass of milk. On the outside stood a gaping crowd which witnessed with profound awe the spectacle of a prize fighter eating a lunch. It drew better than feeding the lions at a circus, and, after the champion had touched the napkin to his lips several rushed in to secure some memento of the historic event. One poor fool eagerly wrapped up in his handkerchief a piece of crust which the hero had left, while another paid 15 cents for the glass from which he had drunk his milk. The Logan sport reporter adds that if the present legislature, which promises so many good things, will only pass a measure for the appointment of a salaried fool killer, the appointee ought to find plenty of opportunities to earn his salary in Logansport. It is no exaggeration to say that Walkerton, has one of the best cornet bauds in northern Indiana, and as sueh the organization is a credit to Walkerton, and something that the town, if it wishes to keep out of the rut of a cross-roads town, must encourage and help to sustain. A band is something that the town could not well do without; it, is in fact an actual necessity in a large sense. This being the ease, then, why will men who are abundantly able to help the band “hum and haw” over contributing the little sum of five dollars or such a matter a year towards sustaining snob a valuable organization? A subscription amounting to about one hundred dollars a year was taken among our citizens some time ago for the benefit of the band, but we understand that some whose names are on the paper are inclined to kick when called on to pay their contributions. This is not the right, spirit to show. The band boys are getting somewhat discouraged, and unless a better spirit is shown towards them we fear that our excellent band, which towns much larger than Walkerton might well feel proud of, will go to pieces. When towns like LaPorte and Michigan City can give their bands from S6OO to I SI,OOO a year Walkerton can certainly I donate SIOO a year towards sustaining I its band. Quail for Sportsmen Report says that the Highland Gun club, of Elkhart, contemplat es the buying of thirty dozen quails from Texas and Tennessee and will place them out on different farms in that vicinity for breeding purposes. Owing to the extremely cold winters and of course partially to the hunters, the quail have rapidly diminished until at the present time they have nearly become depopulated ami are a hard game to be found around here. A good price will be paid for the birds to be shipped there and they will be placed on tin. farms of mon who will feed and shelter them, and allow no one to shoot them until they have become full grown. Another feature is that when the birds have reached the proper age to shoot, cards will be issued to the members of this club, ami they have only to show these to be able to shoot over the farms where the game is located -outsiders being excluded.

It is suggested by the Prairie Farmer that you — Don’t lean too hard when the boy is turning the grindstone. That is one of the causes of th® boys leaving the farm. Don’t expect the boy to keep up with you and the hired man and run errands or carry waler at the same time. Don’t expect, the boy to mantain an angelic disposition if, after working hard all day he is obliged to eat at the second table. Don’t give the boy a lamb or calf to raise which would have died if he bad not attended to it—and let it grow up to be dud’s sheep or cow. Don’t continue to treat the boy as if he had no sense, but consult him occasionally. He may possibly know more than you do. Don’t rave ami storm, because the । boy wants some time io tinker; he may astonish yon with some of his work . Don’t, fell (lie boy lie can go hunting or fishing on Saturday, mid then hitch lon a day’s work before he goes. It is 1 not fajr.

At five o’clock when the guests were called to the banquet room and until after seven o'clock the deft and dextrous waiters were busy serving the delicious and substantial viands. In all there were about 425 who partook of the magnificent banquet. In the evening the Knights and ladies met at the Armory where formal dedicatory ceremonies were held I'he vast audience joined iu singing “America.” The opening prayer was offered by Rev. E. C. Faunce. Chairman H. A. Woodworth then introduced Chancellor Commander Adkins, of the Knox lodge, who gave an address of welcome, followed by an oration by Rev. S. W.

While many of the knights returned to the hall to engage in work in the second rank others with their ladies most courteously devoted themselves to the enttulainment of the visiting ladies. Some returned to the Armory to “thread the windings of the mazy," others repaired to the banquet room and enjoyed music, singing and social pleasures, until all too soon, came the announcement, “train time.” As the chartered special sped towards home the following conclusions were noisily, unceremoniously and heartily expressed: That Knox Lodge No. 296 have entertained their guests in truly royal fashion; that nothing was left undone that could contribute in any way to our comfort and entertainment; that their new castle hall is a noble edifice, reflecting much credit upon the energy and enterprise of our Knox brethren; that a spirit of enterprise and wide-awake enthusiasm seem to pervade the atmosphere and enliven the affairs of business in all capacities; that the ladies of Knox tire most hospitable; gracious, well dressed, handsome—Jrere some of the boys who had fallen f.sleep woke up and joined so enthus\stically and noisily in praise of their f<. entertainers, that amid a genenur hub-bub Walkerion was reachcij The “chartered special” stopper and the seventy-seven were soon at|their several homes “locked in the arms of Morpheus to dream of the charming courtesy and hospitality of our neigh bor knights of the order of F.
