independent. WALKERTON, INDIANA. AUGUST 10. 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. A Has, of Wisconsin, is said to be Cleveland's choice for president,. The populists of Ohio have nominated Coxey for governor. A newspaper wag suggests that the spirits of Holmes' victims ought to hold a national convention The Wabash railroad has issued circulars to all its train employes for bidding them to board at a house which has a saloon in connection. Thestrike at the plate glass works ill Kokomo is ended. The eight hundred men who struck got their demands and went back to work at. the former wages of SI.BO per day. The Columbia, a United States cruiser, made the trip across the Atlantic in six days twenty three hours and forty-nine minutes. The Colum bia is the fastest vessel afloat. Carl Browne, who eloped with the daughter of his eo-laborer, Coxey, has basely deserted her. This is the last act in the ridiculous farce-comedy started by Coxey and Browne several mouths ago. The old soldiers at Topeka, Kansas, received circulars on pension day recently advising them to demand gold in payment of their pension checks. The origin of the circulars is not definitely known. The Catholic Total Abstinence I uion is a power for good in the United States. The good effects of its work are being felt in every state and city of the Union. Men like Archbishop Ryan are among its guiding spirits. The mind of the average newspaper reader of St. Joseph county will be relieved of a great strain when it is once decided whether or no St. Joseph county “niggerheads” will be used in the construction of the new court house. Cans made of paper pulp are being introduced to take the place of tin cans for containing all kinds of pre served products. The new cans are said to be superior to the old kind because there is no danger of poison- ~ iag from tainted goods. The coliseum, the largest amosenient building in the world, will be opened in Chicago Sept. 2. It will be dedicated by the Barnum and Bailer show. The site of the new building is at the world's fair grounds where ; Buffalo Bill's Wild West was located. The Chinese are slaughtering Christian missionaries. The Christian nations of the earth will unite in their might some of these times ami wipe from the face of the earth such bar- | barons nations as China, Turkey, etc. That is perhaps the best missionary service that could be given them. Corbett, the slugger, has forfeited his right to the title of “Gentleman I Jim.” His actions have been the cause i of his wife getting a devorce. Jim I was a pretty decent sort of a fellow when he entered the sporting world . It is a fact, however, that the best of them can not withstand the lowering influence of the prize ring. The late legislature of this state passed a law against the eighty per cent clause in tire insurance policies which some insurance companies have heretofore made it a point to impose on policy holders. It is therefore important that policy holders should investigate and see that they get the benefit of this new provision. In Holland they have a peculiar way ®f dealing with lazy people. The plan is a good one and ought, to be employ-, ed in every country. If a pauper who i is able to work refuses to do so they put him in a cistern to which a pump is attached, and turn on a stream of water. 'This stream flows into the cistern just slowly enough to enable the lazy person by lively pumping to keep the water from getting up over his head. Those people who are opposed to bathing will find a great deal of consolation in the following opinion given by Dr. Checkly, a physician of Cincinnati. He says that the American people squander toomuch timein their bath tubs. I’hey shorten their lives by a too liberal application of soap and water to their exterior surface. “Bathing and the use of soap,” says the learned doctor, “is 40 per cent more injurious to the human race than any other form of stimulation to which the people are addicted.”

Green Smith is being talked of some ’ for governor. What has Indiana been _ doing? Drunkenness among members of the Chicago police force will be punished by dismissal. This is a late edict ot Mayor Swift. Men who have no principle in politics are usually without principle in other things. — Elkhart Truth. True. A man of principle is such under any and all circumstances. 1 The Mishawaka Enterprise was forty years old last week. It is the oldest journal in St. Joseph county. The Enterprise is solid and substantial and holds a worthy place among the highclass country journals of Indiana. Corbett and Fitzsimmons have a ray of hope left. They may not have to tight. The governor of Texas, in which state the “mill” is billed to take place, says that no prize fighting will be allowed within his jurisdiction if he can possibly prevent, it. 'The silver democrats of lowa have received a black eye. 'The democratic state convention held at Marshalltown last Tuesday showed a minority of the silver faction. President Cleveland wasendoised, which was a hot shot at the wing of the party devoted to the free coinage of silver. France wants to make a new treaty with the United states, which will be, in effect, that any differences which , may arise between the two governments in the future will be adjusted by arbitration. The Monroe duet t ine would be an obstacle to overcome in the adjustment of such relations. There is a peculiar riot now going on at Teheran, Persia. It is called the bread riot, the poorer classes demand tug a reduction in the price of bread. 'The house of the governor has been wrecked by a mob, and that otlieial has resigned his authority promising a reduction m the price of that staple The Daily Chronicle, Chicago's new democratic paper, is a great success It seems to be now firmly established । uotwilhst mding that it has been run j ning less tlm three months 'The Chronicle was started at an opportune time. The flop of the Times Herald made a great opening for a democratic paper. Infant, the Chronicle came into the field with a circulation already । made for it From birth a boy can o.vn property; at seven he is, if intelligent, answer able fora crime; at fourteen, if necessary, he could choose a guardian, and ! could contra ‘ marriage; at fourteen ' he is punishable for a misdemeanor; ' at eighteen he is qualified for military [service; at twenty-one he may declare i himself independent of his father, and jis old enough to vote; at twenty-live ihe is eligible for congress; at thirty to ' the United -dates senate; at forty to the presidency; it forty-live he is exempt from military duty. Matthew Marshall, in a well eon- । sidered art; ie on 1 >sses by bad invest[ments, s iys; D is quite safe to say । that the bad in vest meats of the public, within three years, are fully up to j $1,500,0 ! . 1 0, : 00, and are likely to exceed it. This condition of affairs is bad j enough, but in addition to what has already been Lost must be added the shrinkage m incomes derived from investments in all classes of securities. The saddest part of the business is that the greater part of these losses fall upon those who can ill afford it. The following from the Garrett Clipper is right to the point: What is sorely needed in all classes of society is a curb on slander and back biting, making gossip a social sin as well as bad form. People who are .liming to improve their minds and grow in knowledge with the age are not the ones whose tongues run at random. They find too much of interest in the world 1 ; tl t, literature and science to 'claim their attention and words to .waste tie; tune recapitulating the ; shortcomings, doings and misdoings of their neighbors and their friends — — The - mth Bend papers have given a view of St J >seph county’s proposed I court house The design is very handsome, the architecture being of the • Gothic style. A cathedral tower rises majestically < probably to the extent of i about $100,000) toward the skies. - The building is estimated to cost some i $300,000, which means $400,000 or r such a matter by the time it is eompleted. St. Joseph county is in need j of a good, safe and substantial court house, but, a $300,000 or $400,000 building is not required, and will serve e no better purpose than a building that a would cost half that amount,. We y believe this expresses the sentiment $ of niue-tentlis of the tax-payers of St. Joseph county who live outside of South Bend.

Secretary Carlisle says he has no am. bition to become president. He an exception, then, among public men. Hammond is on the state Hue and the Nicholson law effects that, part which is in Indiana. On one side of the street the saloons are closed tight Sundays, says the Tribune, while on the other, which happens to Le in | Illinois, the dispensers of liquid refreshments do a driving trade. It is funny to see some papers preach to their contemporaries how wrong it is to light, when the very | papers giving the advice are always lighting with their competitors when-j ever an opportunity presents itself.! If that isn't inconsistency boiled down ' then we fail to understand the meaning of the word. Kev. W. K. Suman, pastor of the' Methodist Episcopal church at. ' Grange, [nd., is accused of plagiary-j He is charged with using a se^*” 1 from the Ladies’ Home Journal w out proper credit. He has and demands an i n vest igat ion .A if guilty the church should make Ms punishment severe. It is believed, however, that the charge will not. be sustained.

Dr. E. R. UNCOLN, President, Business Office 235 State St. CHICAGO. I BIG PROFITS Small Investments. Returning prosperity will make many rich,but nowhere can they make so much within a short time as by successful Speculation in Grain, Provisions and stock. (MA Illi FOR EACH DOLLAR ^ES’ED can be made by our $ I U, SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF SPECULATION originated by us. All successful speculators operate on a regular system. It is a well-known fact that there are thousands of me:: in all parts of the United States who, by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, make large amounts every year, ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred dollars up to $50,000 to B’oo,ooo or more by those who invest a few' thousand. It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small investments on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers who thoroughly understand systematic trading. Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so that w hether the market rises or fails it brings a steady profit that piles ”p enormously in a short time.

- * . [ 1 ■ ■ ■ IIIhe furmers’ meeting to be held -Gig. 17 in South Bend to discusss the court, house question is well advised. It nuiy be a little late in the day, however, to accomplish much by this meeting — Mrs. James T. Hair,of Chicago, died ion last Monday evening after being treated through a t wo weeks’illness by Christian scientists. When Mis. Hair was first taken sick she was treated by a regular physician for three days and j he then pronounced her. on the road to i recovery and left orders that, he should be called again should any bad sj mpJoms develop. In the meantime a relative who was a Christian scientist took charge of the case and all mediClues were eschewed and pow wows: substituted. 'The patient, grew stead- 1 j ily worse witl.out the scientific treat- . ment she so much needed and on the I last day a competent physician was I called but it was then too late. It is an outrage that such criminal nonsense ,should be allowed in this enlightened , country. The probability is that the ■ life of the pe.Hent might have been saved under the tieatment of a good, physician. I'he law should lake such mallets iu band.
