It turns out to be a seventeen year old boy who is a resident of Nappanee. His name is Le Roy Brown. His guilt was discovered through the work of some young fellows who were put on Brown’s tracks by Postmaster Peddycord. Young Brown broke down and cried like a baby when he was found out. He is the son of a widow and great sympathy is felt for her. Brown has a reputation for idleness and general cussedness, He is a “young man afraid of work,” which no doubt has been largely the cause of his downfall. The Nappanee News says that the fellow will likely be sent to the reform school.

A terrific wind swept over Wisconsin and Illinois last Sunday afternoon, doing great, damage to property and causing loss of life. It was doubtless the same wind storm that swept over this locality Sunday evening. It blew a perfect gale here, but no particular damage was done. The storm had spent its greatest fury before it reached this point. Polaski King, of LaPorte, tendered the newspaper fraternity of LaPorte county a banquet on last Monday afternoon at the Hermitage, a dub house at Michigan City. From all reports it was a most happy affair and one that the fortunate guests will long remember with pleasure. Mr. King has a warm place in his heart for the printing fraternity, having many years ago, in his youth, occupied the position of Satanic majesty in a printing otlice. An exchange, speaking of the drouths experienced in Indiana during the past six or eight years, says: Although there is no such thing as arI tificial compensation for the loss it is believed that the day will come when farmers in Indiana will have to resort to irrigation just as the farmers of California and certain sections of the West now do. The difficulties of irrigation are seen when it is stated that Indiana needs 8,982,500,000,000 gallons of water annually. This would make a lake 100 miles long, ten miles wide and forty-two and one half feet deep. It is practically impossible to get any real comprehension of the enormous quantity of water that is meant by this deficiency, but any one can readily understand why small streams are dried up and large streams have become small, why grass and and grain are drying up and forests are begginning to look as autumn approaching. A long continuance of such conditions must prove disastrous in- , deed, for the destruction of plant life of itself tends to reduce rainfall and i to increase future effects of drouth, i The problem of rain making is liable । to become something more than a joke if these climatic conditions continue.

Bender, of Plymouth, is a very interesting book, containing entertaining descriptions of historic spots in Europe and Incidents of travel which cannot fail to delight the reader. This book ami the Independent for one year only $1.75. Call at (his office and see sample copy. An exchange makes this seasonable suggestion: “Think of your faithful horse these hot days and give him a drink often. He requires it. every hour when worked in the fields or driven on the roads. How refreshing is n draught of cool water to your famishing lips when tired and weary. Il is none the less s<> to the animals that serve you. A horse can do much better for a whole day of work or even a long journey without food than without water. It this little item of watering was more carefully attended to there would be bet ter and more enduring services from our animals.” The Walkerton INDEPENDENT announces that there are no huckleberries in the big marsh in that vicinity. There are a few in the smaller marshes. Thus passes away one of the most noted and notorious resortsin the west A tew years ago during the huckk^ berry season hundreds of people tent ed there, a large number of whom were toughs of every conceivable degree of cussedness, all presided over by the notorious Huckleberry Queen.— Plymouth Democrat. And it is a God's blessing to Walkerton that this notorious resort has passed away. Walkerton has suffered more detriment from that source than can be calculated. While the resort was five miles from Walkerton, anil not in this county at all, yet it seems that the town was always made the principal bearer of (he burden of odium attached to that resort. This was due largely to the fact that Walkerton was a great shipping point for the huckleberries gathered at the marsh. Abroad it was taken as a fact, that Walkerton was the home of the Huckleberry Queen, when (he truth is she visited this town hut. rarely. Yes, it is a blessing to Walkerton and the surrounding country that “Huckleberry Hell” no longer exists except in the history of the past, it, is now so a citizen of Walkerton can go away from home a day or so without having the question, “How’s huckleberries down your way,” shot at him the first thing.
