®lje Jndcpenticnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA, JUNE 1, 1895. W. A. ENDBEY, Editor. Sample Copies With this issue the Independent sends out sample copies to a number of people in the surrounding country ' who, for some queer reason, have < never become subscribers to the paper. We simply adopt this as a plan for soliciting their subscriptions, ; and will continue the paper to their address for four weeks on trial free «of charge. At the end of that time, । if they feel that they can stand it for a whole year, or for a less time, we f kindly ask that they come in and subscribe, or to notify us whatever their < intentions may be in the matter. Eugene V. Debs was denied apv plication for writ of habeas carpus by • the United States supreme court, and i must serve his six months’ sentence. The late Gov. Ira J. Chase accumut laied but little property during his 1 life time. Like many another public man of unselfish character he had no time to make money for himself. Senator David B. Hill was one of < the strongest opponents of the income tax and he fought the measure with might and main from the very start. He doubtless feels a great, satisfaction in the final overthrow of this law. Eli W. Brown, editor of the Frankfort Crescent, died last Sunday. He was an editor and democratic politician of some prominence in the state. He was formerly editor of a paper at Columbia City. He was at one time a member of the state senate, GJshen papers report a shower of mud falling at that place recently. And this, too, at a time when there is <no political campaign in progress.— Albion New Era. Perhaps that little newspaper war over there may have had something to ■ cullA ’ v m vue BH^ointed a member of IM Indiana Monument Board of Regents in place of General Lew Wallace, who resigned because his ideas of what the monument should be did not harmonize with those of the rest of the board. The selection of General Packard is tn excellent one. The man who tries to build up his town and county is worth a ten acre field full of doubting Thomases, even ’ i.f he is not able to buy a hen and Thickens, pertinently observes the : Bloomington World. The Lord deliver us from the fellow who is eter- ' Dally trying to throw a damper on any sort of improvement. Every town and Community has its full share of just such, and it would be better to colonize them in some section entirely surrounded by a territory of man-eating cannibals. The annual convention of the Epworth League of the South Bend ■ district will be held in Walkerton June 5, G and 7. Rev. Stockbarger, district president, has been notified by the Leagues of the district to the effect that they will be well represented at the convention. It is estimated that at least one hundred visitors will honor Walkerton with their presence on that occasion. They

veil! receive a cordial welcome from OUI citizens. Everything points to a successful convention and a pleasant time. The reception will be given Wednesday evening and the rest of the sessions will be devoted to a general program until Friday morning, when the business meeting will be •' held. The death of Hon. Walter Q. Gresh- ' am, Secretary of State, is a serious loss to this government. All men, friends and foes alike, will concede this. He xwas a man of great intellect, lofty manhood and incorruptible character. He has been the subject of considerable censure of late years and no doubt personal pique may have been partly the animus that caused him to take some of the’unexpected steps that he did in Cite political field. But his honesty re- • mains unchallenged, and his character shines with an undimmed radiance above all that may be said against him. Mr. Gresham was born in this stateand was a thorough Hoosier. He was one of Indiana's sons who has reflected credit and honor upon the great state. Would that we had more men of Walter Q. Gresham’s sturdy honesty' in public life.

About the thinnest answer to Coin’s Financial School that could be imagined is the one being made by certain Chicago papers, wherein they attack the “school” part of the book as fictitious and accuse the author of being a liar, etc. They publish interviews from Joseph Mediil, Lyman J. Gage and others refuting the remarks ascribed to them in the book. The “financial school” is simply assumed as a plan for presenting the financial question to the people in a plain way, and it seems as though any intelligent person ought to be able to comprehend Coin’s argument in that light. The commissioners of St. Joseph county have decided that the county shall have a new court house. The commissioners have signed an order directing that George W. Rice & Son, architects, of Grand Rapids, Mich., draw plans for the proposed structure. The old buildingis to be torn away and the new one erected on the present site. The new court house is to cost not to exceed $300,000, and two years is the time allotted to complete its construction. The present building is considered inadequate and an unsafe receptacle for the county records. A new court house is no doubt really needed, but $300,000 seems like a pretty heavy dose for the tax payers of,St. Joseph county. A dispatch of May 28 from Chicago states that Dr. Paul Poquin’s consumption cure is about to be used in the Pasteur institute in that city and the Tribune gives the formula for the preparation of the serum, which is now the subject of so much discussion throughout the medical world. The bacilli are obtained from the sputum of consumption patients and placed in veal or beef bullion, where they multiply rapidly. The fluid is injected into a healthy horse, which throws the animal into high fever. Injections are repeated daily until the fever abates. Then the fever is drawn from the horse's neck, and after it has been subjected to a certain temperature the serum which is injected into the muscles of the patient's back separates from the blood proper, 'el,.. • the covo niv.HeJ yj,in recently the wrihn i . talked with a number of the leading “ ; citizens in regard to the cost of their ! water works system, and learned that ■ the original expense of their system was SIO,OGO. About $2,000 has ' been , added to this since by the further exi. tension of mains. The Bremen water- : works plant is an excellent, one. L-.-inx tin* stand pipe system. The men with whom we talked said the same kind of water-works could now be bulk for $7,500 or SB,OOO, as wages and material would be less now. The people of Bremen are justly proud of their water works, and those ,\ho kicked the hardest against taxing the town for them see m^w what fools they made of themselves and don't be grudge the trifling tax they pay Lasuch great convenience and safetv as water-works provide. • ■ ——. —4 4) —— Indiana Fruit Prospects Raisers of fruit, say the prospect tor a ciop is only (air. The grape raisers have given up all hopes of a crop. There may be a few late grapes, but the general crop of this locality has been ruined by the late frosts. Cherries will be few. The cherry trees are blooming poorly and investigations by prominent raisers show that but a small per cent of the blossoms have life.

The peach crop will be very slim as the late and continued cold weather has ruined this crop. Apples, pears, plumsand st Tawberries promise well and an extra crop is expected. “One of Indiana’s Best Weeklies.” The Walkerton Independent has placed a cylinder press in its plant and made other improvements calculated to enhance the reputation which it. enjoys of being one ol Indiana’s best weeklies.—South Bend Tribune.

One of our exchanges speaks of a millinery store kept by a very estimable lady and the editor was very glad to see her stocking up. The editor says he was never more astonished than he was when the paper came out to meet the lady and have her st l ike him across the brow with an umbrella and tell him Ive was a liar a,nd t hat, she would tell his wife. He didn’t know what she was mad at, and had to read the item over several times to see if there was anything spiteful in it.
