Three Papers for the Price of One. The Independent, through its clubbing arrangements with the publishers of Womankind and the American Farmer, is enabled to furnish all three papers for $1.50 in advance. The 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 fireside. Both are excellent journals, the regular subscription price of each being 50 cents. The combined subsc iption price of the Independent and the other two papers is $2.25, but by our liberal offer you get them all for only $1.50. This combination affords a liberal amount of reading matter at a very small price. j Chance generally favors the prudent. JOFBERT. (

Sleigh-riding was one of the pastimes in Florida this winter. They had four inches of snow there. The invincible Hon. John Gilbert Shanklin, editor of the Evansville Courier, appeared in the arena for the appointment of minister to Mexico. President Cleveland has appointed Hon. M. W. Ransom, of North Carolina, as minister to Mexico, to succeed the late Hon. Isaac P. Gray. The senate confirmed the appointment, unanimously. Gov. Matthews has appointed Mrs. H. G. Thayer, of Plymouth, and Mrs. William Conrad; of Warsaw, as members of the board of lady managers for Indiana for the Cotton States Exposition, which begins at Atlanta, Georgia, next September. The St. Joseph County Farmers’ Institute, held at South Bend, last week, was a fine success. Topics of great interest were discussed by able speakers. The farmers’ institutes in St. Joseph county, as well as elsewhere, are growing in interest and profit to agriculturalists. These meetings are iu crests to a higher and. mort profitable standard. The income of John D. Rockfeller, the Standard Oil king, is said to be $41,666 every day of the week, including Sundays and holidays. His fortune is now estimated at $145,000,000, and is increasing at the rate of about $15,000,000 a year. Mr. Rockfeller is fifty-five years old. Thirty-five years ago he was worth $2,000. His great wealth is due more to a chain of fortunate circumstances than to financial ability. Edison’s great-grandfather died at 102, his grandfather at 103, one of his aunts at, 108, while his father is alive at 98.—Ex.

iue "wizard comes trom a sturdy and long-lived family, which accounts for his surprising endurance. The great inventor is said to often work a whole day and night with but brief respites for lunch. It is said that he hardly ever takes more than three or four hours sleep each night. There seems to be no limit to his vitality. He never carries a watch and but rarely looks at the clock. An anti-pass bill was passed by the Indiana house of representatives" We- < nesday morning. uhh man IIinHnWRIRIIWWRWm' fought the bill, declared that he f wished, at the proper time, to offer an amendment prohibiting newspaper men from riding on passes. “They 1 have made all this trouble,” said he, , “and we all know that they get passes in return for keeping things out of their papers.”—Ex. Chairman Hamrick shows a lamentable ignorance of, or else he wilfully

misrepresents, the facts regarding the nature of the relations between newspapers and railroads. The issuance of railroad passes to the press is purely a business matter, there being a stipulated contract between the news, paper and railroad to publish time : card and notices during the year for which transportation is issued to the newspaper in payment for such services. There are no favors, strictly speaking, asked from either source. Hut in the case of legislators it is quite different. How are they to repay the railroads for passes? When a legislator receives a pass he is placed under more or less obligations to return favors, which is apt to have an influence of doubtful character upon legislatiou.

The Nicholson temperance bill passed the house of representatives, Tuesday, by a vote of 75 to 20. It has yet to run the gauntlet of the senate. Oliver Dalrymple, the great wheatgrower, is quoted assaying that wheat, in his opinion, will never again bring

a dollar a bushel. This, however, ( does not settle that, point. The Pierceton Record, a neat five column quarto, is now all printed at home. This makes a most creditable showing for the enterprise of the publishers of the Record as well as for the town. The Rochester Sentinel is our authority for the following: “Knights of Pythias do not want to be taken in with the scheme to contribute a dollar each for the building of a K. of P. sanitarium at Hot Springs. It is said that an assessment of $1 has been levied upon each Pythian in the United States for this purpose, which would yield over a half million dollars. The sanitarium is an undertaking not backed by the supreme lodge. The I Arkansans have >een granted permis- / sion to solicit JI subscriptions, but no one is obliged to contribute unless be * chooses.”

It is said that Clement Studebaker, 1 president of the Studebaker manu- ( factoring company, has come to the conclusion that he does not care to t make any more money but desires to i devote the rest of his life to solving the problem of capital and labor, i This is a very commendable ambition, * and it is hoped that Mr. Studebaker i will succeed in evolving some scheme whereby the condition of laboringmen generally will be benefited. Mr. Studebaker, however, might make a good start in this direction by raising the wages of many of his employes who are trying to support families on wages of less than a dollar a day. ' It was Horace Greeley who once said “All mares are horses, but all horses are not mares,” in answer to one of his farmer subscribers. So it may be said “all gentlemen are men, but ail men are not gentlemen.” It does not ’ take an experienced eye to pick out a gentleman even in a crowd. His breeding shows and his blood tells. The old saying. “A gentleman’s a ’ gentleman, drunk or sober,” is a true p one. The gentleman has the same e siderate way^and Lhe'same even. temper under any and all circumstances. Gentlemen will not disturb the meet- •, ings of a house of worship. They will e not congregate in the street and insult - ladies as they pass by. They will not . go to dances and start a fight to break i, them up. They will not lay around t home and be supported by their poor s old parents, and spend every cent 5 they can beg, borrow or steel sporting I around in the saloons, and with girls. r Sg!! ~ ) Colic Cure tor Horses. Dr. J. W. Franks, veterinary surgeon and dentist, of South Bend, and a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, has placed his Favorite Colic Cure in the hands of Dr. William N. Baer, V. S. D., to sell in Walkerton

and surrounding country. Dr. Baer has used the remedy ever since he began practicing veterinary medicine. He has excellent success and great faith in this colic remedy. When taken in time it never fails to cure. The remedy is a positive cure for colic, indigestion, constipation and other diseases of the digestive organs. Every farmer and horse owner should keep a bottle or two on hand. Those who cate to take the trouble to find out 1 about the remedy can do so by calling on the James Oliver Plow Co. and citizens of South ' sively. " Dr. Franks Favorite Colic Cure will " hereafter be sold by Dr. Baer, and any one wishing to get the medicine must call on him at his office. The remedy is guaranteed to do the work when directions are followed as given on the bottle. Price per bottle one dollar; six bottles for five dollars.

People will not locate here if they can not get a dwelling place. Anyone having a few hundred dollars to invest could not do better than by investing it in residence property here. The Million Dollar Bubble. Prof. Kreibel’s million dollar college endowment scheme seems to be in a bad way . He had the scheme pretty well fastened at North Manchester but as no money developed the trustees of the college investigated him last week ami this is the result according to a Wabash reporter: “At a meeting of the trustees held on Monday, Kreibel was on the rack three hours. The trustees were out. for blood, and admission after - admission was drawn from the president, a good deal after the fashion that, a dexterous dentist would have pulled a victim’s teeth. Kreibel, during the ordeal, admitted that not a dollar of the million-dollar endowment had been paid in; that I there was no prospect, whatever of the ; college receiving a penny; that there never was, at any time, the slightest probability that a dollar came from that source; that all talk of engaging a high salared faculty was started by himself, there being no assurance given that the men of prominence whose names were mentioned, would ever take the positions; that since last August, Kreibel had not devoted a day to the college; that he had advised families not to come to North Manchester to educate their children, and had endeavored to persuade students not to enter the college, that he had opened negotiations at Rochester and Warsaw to remove to those places and secure the endowment of educational institu tions, for a reasonable consideration.”
