The News is edited with genuine ability. The Nicholson law in:ty be the entering wedge towards local option—practically prohibition—in this state. The great Napoleon was five feet three inches in height. His size would bar him from military service these times. It is said that President Cleveland refuses to read any papers that criticise him.

"The lankakee marsh may some day be the garden spot of northern Indiana. ——————— Rev. Dr. lliel?hf?fii, of Terre Haute, denies emphatically that he favors the amalgamation of the white and black races. It seems that the gentleman, to his eredit, be it said, was misquoted on this point. The cause of woman’s rights is advancing, as is evidenced by the following from the ILaPorte Argus: “A ‘ woman was lynched in Boyd county, Nebraska, one night last week. Out west the women are no longer oppressed but are gradually being accorded the same rights as men.” T S——— Thomas Taggart is prowminently mentioned in connection with the nomination for mayor of Indianapolis. He is very popular with the Indianapolis democrats, who realize that they have a hard fight on hand in the coming city election, and are therefore casting about for their strongest men to lead them in the contest. TR TR O AR SR T A writer in the New York Press says: +‘One of the latest alleged medical discoveries is that colds and catarrh are most frequently caused, not by cold, outdoor air, but by warm, impure indoor air. lam inclined to believe this and to add that we are positively criminal in the way we overheat our houses, offices, etc.” ——— S, T Onasthedillls passed by the legise _publish once a year in one newspiper of general circulation a complete record of the receipts and expenditures of public funds in their office. The law will be worth to the people vastly more than it will cost them.

OT T R A newspaper report to the effect | that Hon. William Melinley would renounce his allegiance to the republican party in case that party declared for free silver is emphatically | denied by the governor. The report went so far as to state that McKinley would refuse the nomination for president from the party in case it put a free silver plank in its platform. When shown the report McKinley said it was absurd. s Hon. C. H. Reeve, of Plymouth, who is quite an authority on prison matters, has been asked by the French government to furnish one or more papers on subjects relating to prison matters to be discussed before the international prison congress to be held in Paris next June. Tour hundred delegates from all nations of the world will attend. This request from the French government is quite a tribute to Mr. Reeve’s knowledge and judgment on prison questions. RLI ITN The unstable character of what is| “Known as great popularity is thus tersely elucidated by the Fort \\’uyne\i News: Mr. James G. Blaine’s admir- \ ers in Maine, it is stated, have succeeded in raising only SSO for the purpose x of erecting a monument in his honor, and the legislature therefore has been ! asked to vote the money needed. | When he was alive Mr. Blaine could have raised $50,000 in a few hours fur\ any political purpose by merely making known the fact that he wanted so much. The slight on his memory is not creditable to his fellow citizens and neighbors. He gave to their state most of the distinction it enjoyed for a third of a century. e e MILLES' NERVE & LIVER PILLS Act on a new principle—regulating the liver, stomach and bowels through the nerves.

i THE LIGHTNING'S WORK. .| Two Barns Burned as the Result of a : Stroke of Lightning. | During the showor last Saturday evening Henry Hudelmyer’s barn was | struck by lightning and burned, together with loli R(wnulmrger’g barn on the adjoining lot. I'he Hghtning struck the barn about 7140 o'elosk, and the shoek waa felt quite distinetly Ly the people Hving within a blosk (;r s;) of the bmn, Mames were asen to isgue from Mr, Hudelmyer's bayy shovtly after the thunder clap was heavil snd people of the neighborhiood gave the alarm and rushed to the barna to save what they could. '"Tl'he fire was immedintely communicated to Mr, Rensberger’s barn and both buildings were pretty well ablaze by the time people could reach them and effect an entrance. The lorses and cows were rescued from both buildings, but the corn and hay were all destroyed. Quite a wind prevailed and the sparks aud cinders were carried from the scene of the fire to quite a distance, Lut the roofs of the houses in the neighborhood being wet from the rain no damage resulted from this. The little fire engine was brought out and made to do good service in saving James Curtis’ barn just across the alley and in such close proximity to the burning barns as to be severely scorched. Henry Hudelmyer’s loss on barn and ’coutents was about S3OO, with $l5O insurance. Eli Rensberger’s loss amounts to about $250, with no insurance, S s i THE NICHOLSON LAW. Its Main Features Briefly but Comprehensively Stated. 1.

No license can be issued to a minor, female, or so one who within two years has violated the liquor law a second time. 2. The business-must be separated from all other business, and no devices or music will be permitted unless privilege is granted in the license. 3. The saloon must be kept closed on holidays, and none but the keeper or family admitted. 4. The room must be on the ground floor or basement, and all obstructions to vision from the outside must be removed during the days and hours when the saloon is to be'elosed by law. Penst : jail and the revoking of the license. 5. No minor is to be allowed to loiter in the saloon. Penunlty same as above. 6.

If any such license should be granted by ‘said board during said period, the same shall be null and void, and the holder thereof shall be liable for any sales of I’)quor made by him, the same as if such sale were made without license. &'Hm number to constitute a majority |of voters herein referred to shall be \dotermined by the aggregate vote cast in said township, or city ward, {for !Caudidutes for the highest office at | the last election preceding the filing of such remonstraunces. \ 94.

The Fish Law. o Some allowance ean be made for clevical errors in the closing hours of a legislative session, but it is not easy to condone one that makes a law of a bill that never passed one branch of the Gonoral Assembly, T'he house journal shows that the bill to prohibit fishing in any of the lukes in Indiana betwéen' the Isb day of April and the 16th day of June was defonted by a vote of 18 yeaa to 60 nays, yob it was indorsad as having passed, and aftor being signed by the oMoers of both houses was filed in the oMoe of the Hooretary of State. Although the law is not one of great importanos, it will prove irritating, and the large majority aguninst it in the house shows that the fooling against it was very decided. Some provision | ought to be made to prevent Meßsures from aequiring the force of law thiough clerical blunders, —lndisnapolis Journal. ——— Pt A Dog Mail Carrier. Oliver Perry, of Union township, was| in the city ¥riday and byway of infor- ! mation or bit of news, said that Lis som-in-law, Edward Keern, residing about’ sixteen miles from his brother-in-la Henry Schafer, who lives near North | Liberty is the owner of a dog which is proving quite valuable as a mail carrier, When ever either of the twol| families desire to send a message to ! the other they call the animal and the letter, note or mail is tied to the collar, the dog is then taken into the road and | given to understand what, is wanted, | and he immediately starts off on the f errand and has not yet failed in aecomplishing the work, The distance| is all of sixteen miles and the dog gen- | erally makes the trip in an hour and a half. When there is no return message | the animal will make its home there| for the balance of the day or night and | return home the next day.—South Bend Times. | An advertisement in the INDEPEND= ENT is & paying investment.
