W Jnirpenicnt. WALKERTON. INDIANA. AUGUST 17. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.—Longfellow. A young man was recently kicked elear around a block in Chicago for trying to kiss a girl! What, might, the result have been had he succeeded? The Zenith City, the largest boat that floats on fresh water, was launched from the South Chicago ship yards last U ednesday. The boat is 405 feet long and has a capacity of 3,370 tons. The boat cost $225,000. It was built •specially for carrying freight. A French investigator whahas been making an estimate of the wealth of the nations finds that the United States is the richest nation on earth null onus oite-tuurUi of Um woulth of the world. The estimate of tin’s Frenchmen is contrary to popular I supposition, as England has long borne i the distinction of being the wealthiest ’ ©C the nations. The total wealth of t the United Siates is pl.iced at $62,000,- I ©OO,OOO. < 1 The Rochester Sentinel is our authority for the following: “The law forbids any pensioner from bargaining, selling or promising his quarterly pen sion to any dealer or other persons, before due and paid, and also on the Other hand, all persons are forbidden by law to accept the same in any man ner, as security for credit or otherwise. Th’e Cue is fixed at SIOO for any viola , lion of the act, and is equal upon the soldier or dealer. The Commissioners of L’oiter county, Ind., believe in competition. They have discovered that the court house needs some repairs, but instead of turning the work over to the contractor they will receive bids. Good business judgement that.—South Bend Tribune. And furthermore, that way of doing business inspires confidence. It is ©pen and above board, and gives the tax payers, who have to pay for the music, less reason for entertaining suspicions that things are not just right. It is stated on what seems to be good authority that if a person when choking on a piece of meat or any hard or tough substance will take a 3wallow’ or two of coffee, tea, water ©r in fact any liquid it will have the effect in nine cases out of ten of dislodging the substance—sending it either down or up. The remedy is almost invariably at hand, and costs aothiug, so the recommendation is not a bad thing to remember. The Phoenix Wheel at the Atlanta exposition will be 125 feet in diameter, resting upon the highest part of the Midway, fully sixty-five feet above the lake level, carrying passengers nearly 200 feet above the general elevation of the lake and the plaza, and giving a commanding view of all the buildings, the grounds and the surrounding country. The wheel will be lighted by electricity at night. Its capacity will be about 250 people at each revolution. A Washington dispatch says that “ex-Congressman Conn, of Elkhart, Ind., has made a marked impression in local journalism by his new morning daily. The Times, the success of which is now so evident that it is a subject of congratulation to the Indiana capitalist, who has triumphed over so many adverse circumstances in a field in which he was comparatively untried. Mr. Conn has already secured a press frauehiseand organized

his editorial staff for an afternoon , paper, which will go as an evening edition of the Times. The ex Con- | gressman gives his newspaper his personal attention, and business man- j agement, and writes nearly all his editorials, which are clear and vigor-, sus. ” _______ Are there any bashful men now ex- ; tant among us? Not among the rising . generation of “Young America ' most , surely. Perhaps such may exist in the form of some antiquarian or library man, who, when dragged from his lair, may be covered with confusion, trying to make a bow or frame a compliment after the latest approved mode. But let the etiquette lover meet one of these Jeciuses on his own “hunting ground” and it would be he who would be the bashful man. We are inclined to the opinion, which will no doubt be comforting to the diffident and blushing of both sexes, that bashfulness and brains are generally found in company. Yourself confident person is generally the one who has the least ballast.—New York Ledger.

One effect of the Nicholson law, should it stand, will doubtless be to ■ make temperance billiard and pool loonies more numerous and profitable in this state. The St Louis Globe-Democrat menlions as two prime essentials for the । conduct of a first class newspaper, a big waste basket and a man who is not afraid to fill it. 1 „ n Ex Congressman Shively is being strongly talked of as the democratic , candidate for governor. The democrats of Indiana might go farther ami fare worse in the selection of a stan dard bearer. A great many of the people that want work in this world, do not want it. Perhaps they think they do, but they do not. What they really want ।is a chance to draw a salary and loaf. They have forgotten entirely, as it used to be so well remembered in the older days, that one must do what comes along to do, and do it well, and then imtler ihln^s and more remunerative tilings come along to do. Ami now few there are who know that to make money by working, one must help your employer make it. Study how to help your employer make money. If you can do (hat, you become essential to him. Rather than lose you he will raise your pay. Plan, scheme, suggest something once in a while, point out how a dollar can be made, or a dollar saved, which amounts to the same thing Ex.

The following is excellent mi vice . and guidance for those just starting । out in life: Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed >of hard work. Work for the best salaries or wages you can get, but work for half price rather than be idle, lit your ow n master as soon as possible, but in order to be it, you must not let society or fashion swallow up your individuality—hat, coat or boots. Do not eat up or wear out all that you can earn. Compel your body to spare something for profits saved. Bestingy to your own appetite, if need be, but be merciful to others’ neccessities. Help others but ask no help for yourself. See that you are too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty; too proud to wear a coat you cannot afford to buy; too proud to be in company that you cannot keep up expenses in, too proud to lie; too proud to steal; too proud to cheat, and too proud to bestingy when help is needed in a worthy cause. Prof. Wiggins says Niagara Falls will cease to be and that in the near future. There is nothing new in the professor’s statement that this wonderful handiwork of nature will cease (o be. That the falls are gradually receding, wearing away, inch by inch, is a fact, and that they will eventually become ext inct, is a well known theory of geologists. Each year shows a distinct wearing away of the rock over which the great cataract madly plunges, and this condition together with the 1 natural recession of the waters in the great lakes will in the course of time, ’ no doubt, triumph over the great falls. : Prof. Wiggins, however, will not live ’ to see his statement fulfilled, as it will । doubtless require the work of centuries to accomplish the result. That Niagara is in no immediate danger of extinction and that it will continue for ’ many generations to come to be a mecca of grandeur for the excursionist and pleasure seeker to gaze with wonder upon, may be accepted as a com-mon-sense conclusion. 1 Some of our smart, bitterly partisan s papers are just now’ arguing that a ■ newspaper must necessarily be outspoken as to politics, must advocate

one side or the other, in other words, ; must meddle, dabble, lie, mix in, interfere, kick up disturbances, agitate the public, nose about, render itself obnoxious, etc., etc., or else it's no paper! Just what business a paper in a small ■ town, whose business it is to give the news and do the advertising for the , । citizens thereof, and whose duty it is I to represent all in a town too small to , support two papers, has to meddle i with politics, admits of no answer i but “None at all.” Those papers that 5 have been bitterly and senselessly i partisan, to the extent of rendering I themselves disgusting in th eyes of 1 about one half of the community in ' which they circulate, belong to that class of people and things to which ' the old saying strictly applies, “Misery ■ loves company.” They therefore want to see every newspaper that they can hear tell of dragged down to a level with themselves.
