C!)c ^lndependent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. JAN. 18, 1896. W. A. ENDCEY, Editor. An Ohio judge has ruled that an able-bodied jyife may be held retpansible for the support of her liusSand. Nearly all the counties in Colorado flare placed women on their tickets for the place of county superintendents 9-1 schools. The late cold snap was quite severe Mi the fruit belt of the South, but it is sloped that t here hasn't banana serious damage done. Hon. J. B. Foraker was elected United States senator by the Ohio legislature last Tuesday. Calvin Bi ice was defeated by a large major Uy in both l>iaiiel>es of the legislature. Dr Leonard Jackson, one of the eldest citizens of Elgin and a former । Resident, of Chicago, who died at Elgin xt the age of 76 years, possessed the press on which the first legal print ing was done in Chicago. Its frame is 9xll. The press was brought from Mie East by the late Mr. Castle, of Elgin, who (list took it to Michigan City, Ind., then to Chicago, and afterward to St. Charles. In Chicago Christmas the Salvation Army entertained 4,000 destitute men, women and children at dinner, one thousand pounds of meat, 600 turkeys and 50 barrels of potatoes having been prepared for the occasion. The Salvation Army is doing a vast amount nt good for the cause of true Christianity. It is in touch with the poor »nd abandoned classes of the large cities and is rescuing thousands from Mie slums. 'l'he Salvation Army is no longer the object of ridicule that it cnce was. The great work it. is doing is gaining it the respect and consideration of all classes of people. While some of the methods employed by the Army in presenting the gospel are a little peculiar and do not harmonize with the views of many people, yet it must be admitted that these methods are effective and reach a class that could not, be reached in any other way. The Salvation Anny meets actual conditions, and is accomplishing wonderful things, especially in the great cities. The Country Newspaper. Writing on this subject, Gen. Reub. Williams, in the Northern Indianan, says concerning the country papers of Northern Indiana: “Many, very many Mmes, have we declared in these colwmns the belief that there is no similar section of country to that north of Hie Wabash that contains such excelWont newspapers. Indeed, compared with a like area anywhere, we are conUdent that the country journals alluded to cannot be excelled for real merit and painstaking, manly effort in creditable newspaper work. There are weekly country newspapers in this state , many of them too, that fall not a whit below those of the large cities of the country in everything that goes to make an entertaining weekly journal. “What is more, their subscribers owe Hiem much, for no class of men labor wore unceasingly or vigorously and un selfishly to forward the interests of those among whom they’ are located and have their homes. In this particular the public owes the conductors of Hieir respective home journals more Winn can be told. Their efforts never ©ease and so much is done by them free of charge that their big city comwefitors exact pay for to the last farUdng. "It never will be known how much ; the country in general owes the well ' conducted, active, aggressive, wide-j awake country newspapers, for they have been the pioneers in every worthy local work that would in any way tie of advantage t» their own people,; and one and all should receive a generous, ungrudging support that would Wirt them above the line of the worry and engrossing effort to barely ‘make ends meet’ with not a dollar more, thus taking them away’ from duties that would enable them to improve, beautify and brighten their respective journals, rather t han to be forever vex®d about the wherewithal that will be required on the coming Saturday night when the weekly expenses fall due. The general public would be surprised to see how much their respective home papers would improve were this worry about the finances of the journal lifted ; from the shoulders of the publishers i %y promptness on their part. Fortysight years in a newspaper office has enabled us to learn this much, if no ■lore!”

General Drake, president of th* ► Three I railroad and recently elected governor of lowa, was inaugurated as governor last Thursday. : Now that polygamy will stand tn* show at all since Utah is a state, what : is to become of all the wives of th* ( Mormons in that country?
