E. church last Sunday evening to a large congregation. Rev. Riley organized a U. B. society at Teegarden, where a good revival is now in progress through the earnest efforts of Rev. A. L. Morse, evangelist. Also a Y. P. C. U. of about 40 names has been organized. The K. of P.’s, of this place, are talking a little of putting up a lodge building. The project has not yet taken definite shape, but it is not improbable that the boys will do something of the kind sooner or later. “I’ve tried all sorts of blood-purifiers,” said an old lady to a “cutter,” “and you can’t persuade me that any other Sarsaparilla is as good as Ayer’s.” There’s where she had him. She knew that Ayer’s was the best—and so did he, but it paid him better to sell a cheaper brand. Married, at the U. B. parsonage, February 28th, 1895, Nelson G. Hershberger, of St. Joseph county, and Minnie A. Hershberger, of Marshall county 7 . The wedding was rather quiet no one being invited except near relatives. May success in life attend them. J. W. Brookfield, an experienced tailor from Michigan City, has entered the employ of T. J. Wolfe, the merchant tailor. Mr. Brookfield is a line cornet player, having been connected with the Ames-Union band, of Michigan City. He will probably play with the Walkerton band. John H. Barden, residing one and a half miles east of Walkerton, reports the wheat in his locality as looking very promising. The late freezing weather, so far as he has observed, has had no injurious effect on the wheat in his section. It was well covered and protected by the snow. The great danger threatening wheat now is that the present thaw may end up with a spell of severe, freezing weather. Michigan City Dispatch: Walter Osler, the coat thief who was arrested in this city Friday, Feb. Ist, was taken to Plymouth, Ind., by Henry Stoll, of Fort Wayne, the special officer of the Pennsylvania, and landed in jail there. Osler was bound over to the Circuit Court in the sum of SSOO by’ a fcfocal justice of the peace, and his next trijTto 'Mtekigan City will undoubtedly be made under escort of au officer, for Stoll says he has a clear case against his man. Sam Koontz, Jr., had a very lively runaway while driving to town last Thursday. He was bringing two horses to town to hitch to a wagon which he was getting repaired. He had one of the horses hitched to a cart and the other was tied by the side of it. When near Samuel Wenger’s one of the horses kicked over the thill, which scared the other horse and they both began running at a wild rate. The cart was tipped over and Mr. Koontz was dragged about one-fourth of a mile before the team could be stopped. His feet became fastened in the cart so that he could not free himself but he managed to hold onto the lines and finally the horses ran into a rail fence where they were stopped. Mr. Koontz was in a very perilous position for a time and escaped very luckily. The cart was badly demolished, but the horses were not injured to speak of. Mr. Koontz received a few scratches and was jolted up pretty lively but was not severely hurt.

If Walkerton isn’t careful it will get a manufacturing establishment yet. Before buying a cook stove examine the Steel Range Ma jestic atT. J. Reece & Co’s. A dinner was given Thursday, Feb. 28, at J. W. McDaniel’s in honor of his 53rd birthday. If you want a silver thimble use Star soap and save wrappers.

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 blue bird is hailed as a harbinger of spring. It is also a reminder that a blood purifier is needed to prepare the system for the debilitating weat her to come. Listen and you will hear the birds singing: “Take Ayer's Sarsaparilla in March, April, May.” A son of William Delabarre, residing near town, had the third finger of his right hand injured while feeding a corn sheller last Thursday. The finger was so badly lacerated that it had to be amputated. Dr. Denaut placed the boy under the influence of chloroform and cut the linger off close to the hand. A young man in Logansport attended revival service on the west side recently, and is now telling of his narrow escape. An attractive young lady came up to his pew and said: “It would do my soul good to lead you up to the altar,” but the young man misunderstood her kindly motives, and blushingly replied: “I appreciate your kindness and the honor you confer on me, but circumstances are such that 1 must beg to decline.” “I predict that the coming summer will be one of the most productive seasons this portion of the country has experienced in many years,” remarked a pioneer farmer to the South Bend Tribune, when some one was bewailing the severity of the winter as likely to kill all the fruit buds and freeze the wheat, in the ground. “I have discovered that, winters with the deepest snow and the coldest weather are followed by an early spring and a good summer. The earth gets a thorough moistening by the frost and snow which will overcome in a large measure any sort of a dry spell. Look out for a good corn crop, a good wheat crop and lots of fruit next season. Bear this in mind, for I never knew this hard winter sign to fail.” Mr. and Mrs. Ed Koontz entertained a party of young people of this place and from South Bend. An elegant dinner was served at 2 o’clock. The afternoon was passed very pleasantly and in the evening a fine lunch was served. The guests were as follows: Misses Emma Lulu Folsom, Ada Zigler, Minnie Hagen, Verna Marcellus, Laura Pfeiffer, Euphama Caulfield, of South Bend; Misses Ada Swank, Edna Nicoles, Laura Koontz, Josie Robbins, Hattie Hostetter, Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Hudelmyer, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Brubaker, Ray Vincent, Scott Blaine, Albert Atwood, Fred Atwood, Dr. Denaut and D. Leibole, of Walkerton. The South Bend party consisted of six young ladies, all of whom are employed at the place where Megrime, the new headache remedy, is manufactured. They call themselves the “Megrime girls,” and they are a pleasant, jolly set of girls. Steps are being taken by those interested to reclaim the ground which was donated to the Swindell creamery about three years ago. The Swindells have violated their agreement in not rebuilding their creamery, and the donors now demand that Messrs. Swindell give back the ground or its equivalent in money, which would amount to about S3OO. Attorney Dailey was delegated to interview the creamery people at Plymouth, where he talked with them last Monday in regard to the matter. They manifest a disposition to do the fair thing and will either give up the ground or return the sum donated. The ground tin question is especially valuable for the reason that it would be a good site for some manufacturing enterprise, and the object in reclaiming it is to hold it in reserve for such pur--1 pose.

Not nnpl we read tins instructive treatise did we have the true conception of how wonderful is the work of human heart. We quote by special permission of the author the following from the preface: ‘‘Very few people have ever given the attention to their lit arts that this important organ warrants. This wonderful little machine which is not much larger than your baud, and only al>«ut two and a half inches thick, iallora day and night without rest, perfoiiuing such au enormous amount of work as to be almost beyond belief. Pl ysiologists say each pulsation, or co itractiou of the heart exerts 50 pc inds of force, which amounts to 3,i 100 a minute, 216,000 an hour, and th,inconceivable number of 5,184,000 iO a single day ! Now, it is necessary th it all this vast amount of labor si ouhl be done, and well done every dl y. The health will surely suffer iu cd ^sequence of the least failure on the P« rt of the heart to properly perform R duties. When it is weak or denLged it directly affects every organ W the human body and they are untile to perform their duties from lack blood and nerve force. Those organs that are more intimately assothe heart are usually first I Teets when it is irregular an | "'"•m its proper fuuctill tinted with colored plates, and, al~ tubugh strictly scientific, is written in ^^opular language, making it very pWeresiing reading for all.
