13^”Advertisers in the Independent have the privilege of changing their advertisements as often as once a month at least. When they are allowed to run month after month without any change •they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser. The public are eager to read fresh, newsy ads. that are to the point and every business man should not neglect to attend to the matter. LOCAL NEWS. Political Announcement. After carefully considering the matter, •and upon the advice of friends, I have decided to announce myself as a candidate for town marshal, subject to the decision of the republican nominating caucus.

J. W. Riley, Pastor. An exchange says a new swindle is being worked successfully in various parts of the state by two smart individuals. They call upon the farmers and agree to contract for all the butter they can make at 33 cents the whole year. They then solicit an order for groceries, offering them at ridiculously low prices. The farmer gives an order and in addition pays about ten per cent of the order in cash. The agent secures the cash and never delivers the goods. Quite a num- j ber have been caught on small sums of $1 to §5. The Columbia City Post makes the pertinent inquiry: Where is all the water coming from? In all parts of the < country complaint is going up on account of flood and rain. For several ; years past, there was general complaint on account of drouths, and it was argued by some men that the country had been i cleaned up and drained to an extent that atmospheric conditions had undergone a complete change, and that the rainfall I would continue to grow less year by year ; But how about that theory now? Dr. Denaut’s horse met with an acci- ! dent Thursday which resulted in its j death. Drs. Arlington and Denaut , drove to Mill Creek Thursday to see a ' patient and the horse was tied in front ' of the house and covered with a blanket, the lines being tied around the horse to hold the blanket on. This made the animal uneasy and after the doctors had been in the house a few minutes some one saw the horse rearing and kicking, and by the time they got to the horse it had injured itself fatally. It had broken one of the thills in two and the sharp edg had penetrated the animal’s abdomen about 18 inches, causing the bowels to protrude. The horse was bleeding profusely and in a few minutes fell from exhaustion. As there was no hope of saving the animal it was taken out and shot. The doctor feels very badly over the loss, as the horse was an excellent traveler and a great pet.

Carson Siddles, of Mill Creek, fell from a portable engine last Monday near i Frank Thompson's place, three miles I north of Walkerton, and received severe injuries. He was riding on top of the ■ engine on a board, which broke, causing ; him to fall in front of the hind wheel, which passed over his left leg, breaking the thigh bone and injuring the knee joint. His right arm was also consider ! ably bruised. Drs. Arlington and Denaut; were summoned to attend to Mr. Siddles’ injuries. The patient is getting along well at the present and will probably ' get through without any permanent impairment of the injured leg.

Meetings at the Adventist church closed Sunday night. The attendance generally was large and interest good. The services were especially characterized by the spirit of freedom. Much stress was put upon the subject of unity. Mr. Huntingtonjs a strong advocate of Christian unity and believes that all Christians should unite upon the gospel, allow it to decide all points of controversy, and with charity for all labor for the upbuilding of humanity and the salvation of souls. There was one added to the church. Rev. Huntington spent Monday and Tuesday evenings with his । congregation at North Liberty. On Wednesday morning he left forthe 1 southern part of the state where he will | visit his home and also attend the spring conference of Seventh Day Adventists. The Sugar Beet. Prof. Jaeger, of Culver Academy, was in the city Saturday and made us a i pleasant call. The professor is much interested in the culture of the sugar beet and during his stay at the lake has con- ! > ducted some experiments, the result of i which as shown by the tests made for him at the Purdue University prove con- ! clusively that the sugar beet of good I quality can be raised in this climate and [ soil successfully, and profitably when a j market can be established by the erec ' tion and operation of refineries. At Mr. I Jaeger’s former home in Germany the ' industry is one of the most important I among the farmers, and his brother is a ; director in a refinery company, so that i he has had opportunity to study the । question in all its phases. -Plymouth Democrat.

Don’t stop taking your Scott's I Emulsion because the weather happens to be warm. If you have a weak throat, a slight hacking cough, or some trouble with the bronchial tubes, summer is the best time to get rid of it. If you are losing flesh there is all the more need of attention. Weakness about the chest and thinness should never go together. One greatly increases • the danger of the other. Heal the throat, cure the cough, and strengthen the whole system now. Keep taking Scott’s Emulsion all summer. For tale by ail druggists at 50c and ss.eo, Walkerton Market. CORRECTED WEEKLY BY STEPHENS AND GRIDER. Eggs g 1 Butter 12 Lard 6 ; ’ Green Hides 4 !

Filiaiottle or common gla« with urine and letitwand twenty-four hours: asedi- । ment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. What to do There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills I every wish in relieving pain in the back. ; kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil ity to hold urine and scalding pain in I passing it, or bad effect following use of ; liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night • to urinate.
