Mr. Henry Finkenbiner, one of the wide-awake farmers of \WWabash county, advises thesowing of corn for fodder as a substitute for hay this fall and winter.

President Holler, of the Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan Agricultural Society, thinks it will not hold a fair this year. Its grounds are at Mighawaka. He said: “Thereis very little money in the country, and I can see nothing but failure if we attempt to hold the fair. There hasnever been such a season of depression among the farmers since 1 have been in the county and I have passed througha good many dull and profitless years. The business | men, of the city, who have been such 1 staunch supporters of our fairs, feel greatly this depression also, and will not come to our rescue as formerly.”

A terrible fire occurred in South Bend | last Sunday in which John Shank’s livery stable at 326 and 328 So. Michigan St., was destroyed, togetiier with fourteen horses and other valuable stock. The fire was discovered in the barn about 5:40 o'clock Sunday evening. The fire is supposed to have been caused by boys shooting fire-crackers in the alley near thebarn. Blr.Shank’s loss amounts to about SIO,OOO which was covered with $3,500 insurance. Besides this, there were other losses to people who kept horses and vehicles in the bara. Surrounding property had a close call, the Johnson & May hotel being considerably damaged.

Creager, of Bristol, Ind., died at her home June 13, 1895, aged 39 years. ‘l'he cause of her death was consumption. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Blaine, of Walkerton. She is survived by her husband and two little danghters. The deceased was reared near this place and had a wide circle of friends in Walkerton. LaPorte Herald: At Kramer & Son's grocery there was a traveling man who displayed a letter from a Catholie priest of Chicago. The letter simply said, “Find inclosed $lO which was handed to me to return to you by a conscience stricken man.” The traveling man says that he is at a loss to know when he was robbed or swindled out of such an amount but the “ten’ is thankfuily received. ' On last Thursday several ladies from North Liberty came to Walkerton and took dinner and spent the day with Mrs. Flemming Kellogg. The guests were as follows: Mesdames Sarah Hostettler, George Collins, Joseph Sheaf, Manuel Varier, Emsley Caudle, Oliver Keck, Albert Pointer, Ed. Case and daughter Bessie, Bert Chapman, Henry Brooks and Mr. Lawerence Hostettler; also Mrs. George Goodrich and Mrs. Ren Strang, of this place. Says a philosopher: No man ever succeeded in anything undertaken solely forspite. If you have no higher motive than simply getting even with somebody, you may rest assured that your business will not prosper, and you will never get even. Set your mark high, take deliberate aim, and fire when your enterprise is laudable and honorable; but if spite is the motive power, you might just as well hang your harp in a willow tree and go duck hunting l The Streator ball team played with the West Ends at South Bend last Sunday in the presence of about 3,000 spectators. DBy agreement the game was limited to seven innings. In the first flush of the game it is said that Streator made the best showing but after the first two innings their opponents gained on them. The score stoed: South Bend, 13; Streator, 11. The | Three 1 ran an excursion train of two | sections from Streator to South Bend, | carrying about 1,000 people to the ! scene of the game. This makes the ‘ second game between the two teams, the former having been lost by South | Bend. The deciding game will be played during the season. An Indianapolis dispatch says:

“The saloonkeepers of the state have decided not to obey the new temperance law which goes into effect in about ten days. They announce that they are acting upon the advice of the national and state liquor leagues, which will meet the expense of fighting the law. The county commissioners throughout the state were in session last week and there was a rush of | saloonkeepers for licenses. All that secure licenses before the law goes into effect will be safe from the local option feature of the new law for one year at least. The secretary of the state liquor league says the league will spend $50,000 in fighting the law if necessary.

| Aun exchange very wisely says the young men who are too lazy to go to school and too lazy to work, and the " dudes who part their hair in the middle and stroll around the city Sundays | and MBudays and every other day in the week, while their mothers dig in the garden, will be the ealamity howlers of the future in this country. i Shall we have water-works and pro-: claim ourselves a people who areenterprising and awake to the welfare of the community, or shall we defeat the project and suffer ourselves to be clagsed with the moss-grown towns of thc; country? Walter-works would not be aluxury for Walkerton but a necessity. We cannot afford todo without them. The LuPorte Argus must have had some one in mind when it said, “It appears to be one of the easiest things in the world for a very egotistical and | very weak man to make a very lurge sized jackass of himself on a very | small provoeation, 1t seems to ‘come ‘natural,” but it is always considered a | pitinble misfortune for & hair trigger) mouth to be genred to a flint | 'é__" A good ruln shower in w dry senson g hias a wonderfully stimulating effect on | business. People feel exuberant and will | “let loose™ of their dollars more readily when nature is smiling under the re- | viving influence of @ good shower. Fred Decker, the boot and shoe sulesman, had an experience recently bearing upon this point. He called upon one of his old customers in an [linois town to sell him some goods. ‘The weather was hot and dry and crops suffering. The customer stated that he did not want more than about £3OO worth of goods. Fred remained in town until nextday. That night there was a glorious rain. Fred called upon his customer the next morning and ‘sold him about §1,200 worth of goods ’ without any trouble. [ A. Steinke on going to his barn last :E.\'umnluy morning found that one of his horses had been taken from the barn during the night. Nothing besides the horse was missing. Eventhe halter was left in the stall. Mr. Steinke began n search at once, but found no clue of the horse until Mon‘day when he learned that William Beatty, of the Island, had found the ‘horse near his place. Mr. Beatty saw the horse standing in the middie of the road about 8 o'clock Saturday morning. The horse bore the appearance of having been harnessed and driven hard. Mr. Steinke now keeps his stable securely locked. Hesaw tracks around the barn one morning this week which indlcated that some one, no doubt the same fellow, had tried to gnin entrance to the barn. Albert Dick, the Mind Reader. Albert I, Dick, the boy mind reader, was billed to show in Walkerton last T'nesday evening. He arrived Lere i during the day and gave a sow tests iu- | cideuntally in two or three business | houses, The tests were satisfactory Ito everybody who was an eye wituess, In the evening at 5 o'clock the great !atrm\t teat was given. The committes \rfll‘l“‘i”h“l consistel of Thompson % Tuarver, Bert Williams sud Doe. Dowell. I'he latter bid a pocket-book in the }reur of Ake's harness shop, and the wind reander and Doe., attuched by a small copper wire, started from the corner of the Bender block, with the mind reader blind-folded, taking the lead. The operator started straight for the haruess shiop, stopping but two or three times, aud led the way to the back part of the building where the pocket-book was hidden. Buthe had considerable trouble in finding the ‘article. He worked for about an hour without success’ and then changed subjects, taking Thompson Turner. After working for several minutes he finally found the concealed article, which had been secreted in a bed in a small room. While the test was suceessful, yet the time required to complete it was not quite satisfactory. While the boy is no doubt all right, and i 8 what is claimed for him, he was unfortunate in hLis street test here, and taking this together with the threatening weather no exhibition was given in 1. the hall.
