SndepenM. WA4XERTON. INDIANA. MARCH 28. 1896. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. ♦Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky, is a goverSKor .whogo verns. While Allison’s boom has no brass '"band attachment it will bear watching. * Hen.®. E. Nicholson, author of the famous saloon law, has been renominat ed for the legislature by the republicans of Howard county. The Nappanee News has just turned its seventeenth year. It is a bright local paper .and its editorial columns are original and display ability above that of ihe auerage country paper. Hhentenant-Governor Nye, of LaPorte, diat symptoms of Bright’s disease, and a Imp to Europe has been recommended Iby physicians as a remedy for his ailment. Thomas Hughes, the author of “Tom Brown’s School Days,” died recently at his home in England. Every boy who han read the writings of this author will feel a personal loss in his death. Mishawaka will have to wear its town rtoga for awhile yet. The proposition “to adopt a city charter was defeated at an election held there a few days ago. Mishawaka must have a very large back--ward element, as the place has 4,000 inhabitants. Some of the school supply houses don’t like the Indiana law which requires township trustees to publish a detailed report of expenditures and are preparing to fight the law, it is said. 'This looks suspicious on the face of it. Why should these supply houses be so much interested in this law? A Reed presidential badge has already been devised and is a very unique thing. Tom Reed himself is the originator. It -consists of a tom cat with its back bowed up and underneath is a bunch of reeds. It is to be used as a campaign badge providing Tom gets the presidentiial nomination. The American Bimetallic Union will hold a convention in St. Louis July 22 to rdaecuss plans for the promotion of the cause of bimetallism. The leading silver men of Colorado are taking an active interest in the coming convention and have pledged themselves to contribute generously in a financial way to help along the work of education and organization an the mean time. It is thought that about 825.000 will be raised in Colorado for this purpose. The “ten rules of life,” written by Thomas Jefferson, are: 1. Never put off till to-morrow what you can do today. 2. Never trouble others to do what you can do yourself. 3. Never spend your money before you get it. L Never buy what you do not want be eause it is cheap. 5. Pride costs us much hunger, cold and thirst. 6. We never repent of eating too little. 7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. 8. How much pain those evils cost us which never happen. 9. Take things always by their smooth handles. 10. When angry, always count ten before you speak. Easter Sunday this year falls on April 5 and Shrove Tuesday, the carnival sea son in France and in the Latin countries, ‘ fell on February 18th. The establish- j ment of the Christian festival of Easter, typical of the resurrection of the Lord, was a matter of much controversy in the church for centuries, but was finally established by the Gregarian calendar ■ adopted by the Roman church in 1752, j and Easter is always the first Sunday ■ after the full moon, which happens upon । or next after March 21, which date is I the beginning of the ecclesiastical year, i Therefore the earliest date upon which Easter may occur is March 22. If the | full moon should fall on March 21, East-I or is the following Sunday. The latest date upon which the festival may fall is I April 25. In 1761 and 1818 Easter fell on March 22, but this will not occur again in this or the next century. In 1886 it fell on April 25. and it will do so again in 1913. Weyler, the Spaniard, has made a tor Able admission, says the Canton, 0., Repository. He himself probably loes not appreciate the full force of his statement to his home government that he is obliged to exercise excessive prudence in dealing with the Cubans owing to the discussion in the United States of the resolutions looking to the recognition of Cuban belligerency. This discussion “prejudices the course of the war” Weyler is waging; and he confesses that he is “much hindered by it.” We may imagine what Weyler would do, therefore, if it were not for the pendency of those resolutions. They are all That stand between the Cubans and the wreaking of Spain’s bloody vengeance upon the unfortunates who are captured. Whether it is truth or a lie that Weyler had a newspaper editor shot the other day for criticising the Spanish govern.•aent, certainly it is exactly what he would do if he dared, and all there is to hold hire, back is the sympathy of the American people for the brave Cubans.

There is more or less danger of Mr. McKinley’s boom being boomed to death. I : The civil war had not been in progress j three months when Spain recognized the । belligerency of the southern confeder- | acy. England and France also did the same. Cases of smallpox are reported at Terre Haute and Richmond. The state board of health are taking active pre- ' cautions to prevent a spread of the disease. Attorney S. J. North, of Milford, has been nominated by the prohibitionists of the state for lieutenant-governor. North is a fighter from way back in the [ prohibition cause. The Independent is under obligations ’ to the Studebaker manufacturing company, of South Bend, for a very fine lithograph representing the scene of the elder Studebaker’s blacksmith shop which was the acorn from which has sprung the present great Studebaker plant. The lithograph is taken from an original oil painting by L. Clarence Ball, and is a handsome and artistic piece of 1 work, t > The South Bend Sunday Nows, speak--1 ing of the appropriation for the new postoffice building for that city, says: “It doesn’t set very well on the average 1 South Bend digestive apparatus to read that the house committee on public buildings has recommended 8100,000 allowances to such towns as Clinton, la., Freeport, Joliet and Elgin, 111., and an additional allowance of 843,000 to Little Rock, la., when this city, with its larger population and greater business than can be boasted by most of the places named is forced to put up with a paltry 875,000." An exchange presents the following remarks in regard to the country pub lisher: “Subscribers of the country papers often allow their subscriptions to become delinquent through carelessness, and yet feel insulted if their paper is stopped or a statement of their delinquency is sent to them. They do not expect any courtesy from metropolitan papers, but the country papers are expected to come on whether they are paid for or not. This is an unjust exaction. Because he is editor of a country paper is no reason why a man should carry you on year after year. The income from subscriptions to a newspaper is an important item. Like snowflakes they are individually small, but when aggregated they pile up wonderfully. They should be coming in every day in the year. They must come if the publisher pays his bills, which fall due every month in the year.” The Business Situation. This week's Dun's Review says of the business situation: “Movement toward better things is still the exception. There is better business in shoes 1 and small industries, and there has been ' a squeezing of short sellers in cotton, but the general tendency of industries and prices is not encouraging, and those who were most hopeful a month ago are still waiting, not so hopefully, for the expected recovery. Causes of continued depression are not wanting. Bad weath er has cut off much business, especially in country districts. Some failures of consequence have caused especial cau tion. Foreign controversies are accepted as the explanation of some selling in London of American securities. Congress still does nothing as before. But the root of the business is that in many departments men bought more ; and produced more, when prices were | mounting and everybody was rushing to buy last year, than they have yet been able to sell. That the buying was of a nature to anticipate actual consumption many months, they were fully warned, : but they had more hope than observa । tion and went on piling up goods. Some ■ are engaged to-day in the same hopeful anticipation of a demand which has not ; yet appeared.” ——MW——irnnTf TWI w .m ■ ii ■■Minmr.unw— h ■mm I WITHOUT THE

This idea stopped that little game: The bow has a groove oil each end A collar runs down inside the pendant (stem) and fits into the grooves, firmly locking the bow to the pendant, so that it cannot be pulled or twisted off.

DON’TSTOP TOBACCO. ■ How to Cure Yourself While Using It. I The tobacco habit grows on a man un til his nervous system is seriously affect- : ed, impairing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly is too severe a shock to the system, as tobacco to an inveterate user becomes a stimulant that his system continually craves. “BacoCuro” is a scientific cure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully com pounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private practice since 1872, without a failure. It is purely vegetable and guaranteed perfectly harmless. You can use all the tobacco you want while taking “Baca-Curo.” It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent interest. “Baco-Curo” is not a substitute, but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid of will power and w’ith no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure and free from nicotine as the day you took your first chew or smoke. ' , Cured By Baco-Curo and Gaini 1 ’ Thirty Pounds.

Eureka Chemical & Mfg., Co., LaCroMe, Wi».„ Gentlemen; For forty years I used tobacco in all its forms. For twenty five years of that time I was a great sufferer from general debility and heart disease. For fifteen years I tried to quit, but couldn’t. I took various remedies, among others “No-To Bac,” “ I’he Indiana Tobacco Antidote." “Double Chloride of Gold.’’ etc., etc. but none of them did me the least bit of good. Finally, however, I purchased a box of your ‘Baco Curo” and it has entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms, and I have increased thirty pounds in weight and am relieved from all the numerous aches and pains of body and mind. I could write a quire of paper upon my changed feelings and condition. Yours respectfully, P. H Marbury. Pastor C. P.
