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. HlocaCnews. <

A ball game was played at North Liberty July 3 between the Walkerton Cyclones and the North Liberty Earthquakes. It was a very “hot” game there being a large number of runs made, with the thermometer nearly 100 degrees in the shade. The score was 34 to 18 in favor of North Liberty. Only six innings were played, which accounts for the number of tallies being so small. The school board at their meeting Tuesday evening selected John W. Rittenger, of New Carlisle, as principal of our schools for the ensuing year. Mr. Rittenger comes highly recommended as a young man of good qualifications and excellent character. He has had about eight years’ experience as a teacher and is a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural college at Lansing, Mich. T. A. Wolfe, sexton of the cemetery, requests those who subscribed towards keeping up the cemetery, to pay the half of their subscription, due July 1, at their earliest convenience. As there are 173 subscribers it would be quite a job to get around and see them all, and Mr. Wolfe therefore asks as a favor that subscribers come forward as occasion may offer and settle the amounts due. Between 200 and 300 people attended the U. B. services in the grove on the Island last Sunday. The organ and seats were brought from the Island church, and the singing and all the services were made very interesting. After a bounteous dinner •was enjoyed by all Rev. Riley baptized six persons in Yellow creek by immersion. Quite a large number had been baptized by sprinkling during the revivals last ~ winter. A druggist should not take things for granted, says an exchange. At Elkhart a painter took into a drug store a bottle which he said contained linseed oil, but in reality it was half full of sulphuric acid. The druggist took it for granted that the man knew what he was talking about and filled up the bottle with turpentine. The explosion which immedi ately followed, burning the druggist’s hands dreadfully and the close call he had to being seriously injured, learned _ him not to hereafter take things for granted. Rev. and Mrs. Riley, Mrs. M. J. Hen ' derson and others from here attended the annual reunion of the Haag family last Friday. The place of meeting this ' year was at the residence of Jonas Haag near Tyner. About 80 relatives were ■ present and a nice program of singing, ■ speaking and addresses was carried out. ; A fine dinner was spread on long tables I for the guests, and at 4 o’clock ice cream and lemonade were served. The reunion . is organized with president, secretary, treasurer and committees. An exchange expresses a few thoughts which should be read and re read bj every citizen until they are thoroughly familiar with them. It says that “A town, unlike a city, is no place to foster jealousy and nourish contentions. All should learn to know that whatever will conduce to the welfare of a town cannot injure her citizens. The disposition made manifest by her citizens point to her downfall or rise. Harmony among the people of a community is as necessary to their success as is air to sus tain life. There are, however, in every town, a few people who by their care less remarks, stir up strife, injuring their best friends and ignorantly persist in so doing. ‘Be careful of what you say, and when, and where and how." ’

There will be a big drop in the pric< of bicycles. Fred Northam is clerking in Endly’f drug store. Before buying a grain drill see those at Machinery Hall.

The Walkerton Milling Co. is putting in bolt and rigging up machinery to manufacture buckwheat and rye flour, a long-felt need in this community. Lewis C. Kneisley, who is working on a farm in northern Illinois, spent the fourth at home. He says that crops there are in advance of the crops in this locality. The wheat harvest is now in full swing, and the yield in this locality is much better than was expected a few weeks ago. There will be an average, perhaps, of near 12 bushels to the acre. The Westville Indicator, in speaking of Lincoln Dodd who was seriously injured by an excursion train near Wellsiioro a few Sundays ago, says; “Lincoln Dodd is well advanced on the road to recovery. - ' Mr. Will Cook and Miss Ella Morgan, of this place, were married Saturday evening at 8 o'clock at the M.

It is estimated that the actual cost of a SIOO bicycle is 8.30. varying slightly with different factories.

The largest tree in Northern Indiana is located on the Matchett farm, just : west of Pierceton. It is of the Syea more variety, and contains 11,000 feet of lumber. The tree measures twenty four feet in circumference and is sixty four feet to the first limb and the trunk does not taper. The LaPorte Argus says: There is some talk about reviving the famous bands of regulators that 40 years ago hung one man and cleaned out the horse thieves and counterfeiters in Northeast ! ern Indiana. The purpose this time is to break up the organized hordes of tramps that continually prey on the public. There are some people who are never positive in anything. It is always, “I don't know," “I guess so." There is a , world of such people, and it is refreshing ; sometimos to hear a person speak as one j having convictions, like Mr. Chas. F. ' Snyder, of Bangor, Pa., who wrote; “1 can heartily recommend Simmons Liver Regulator to all who are troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint.” The farmers of Marion and adjoining counties are greatly troubled with a plant called white top. which overruns and smothers out all other plants.। Farms on which nothing of the kind ' : was known a year ago are now covered, , । and the belief is the seed lies in the . ground several years before germination, j and besides they believe certain climatic I I conditions are necessary. The building and loan law passed by ; I the last legislature became operative 1 Thursday of last week. With its taking I effect every law passed by the last legis ; lature is in force.

। Deering binders and mowers, the ; world’s best, at Machinery hall. s I The Senators, of South Bend, were defeated by the Bremen team at the latter e place last Saturday in a hotly contested game, by a score of 7 to 5. A party of serenaders were out Thursday night, and the editor of the Inde--1 pendent acknowledges with thanks a i most enjoyable serenade. ' ! “ 1 There was no celebration in Walkerton on the fourth, the first time in several years that the da)’ was not observed in . some form here. Our citizens who cared to brave the terrible heat spent the fourth in surrounding towns mostly at Knox and LaPorte. The K. of P's expect to be in their new hall in the Bose-Giberson block next Tuesday evening, and it is request ed that all members be present that can, as important business will come before the lodge. The installation of officers will also be hold on that evening. The more you do for some people the more they will curse and betray you when your back is turned from them. No matter how much you inconvenience yourself to help them the less gratitude they show. The best way is to let all such “paddle their own canoe" alone and the sooner they are relegated to the rear the better for all. “Buck" Dougherty got into an alter cation with a tramp at the B. A O. last M ednesday night ami was knocked down in the fracas. He afterwards laid for । the tramp and getting a good crack nt 1 the fellow's head knocked him senseless with a club. The tramp’s condition was considered serious, but on Thursday he , rallied and was able to walk to the woods. There was “a woman in the I case." The melting rays from Old Sol hare ■ made life a burden for the past week. The thermometer has registered all the way from 95 to KM) in the shade most of j the time during daylight since hist ■Saturday. It is the longest hot spell I ever known her?.

Strange to say, no i serious cases of prostration L m the i heat occurred here during the fi .f ^pMI. I’he Rinehart estate in Germany ■ valued at $30,000,000 and remaining in a lump for 11 years is about to be divided । among 200 heirs 23 of whom live in St Joseph county. William, Jacob. Lewis. Benjamin F and Isaac Rinehart, who I . live in \\ aikertou and vicinity, are among I the heirs of this estate. While foreign j ■ inheritances are usually of a very un I j certain character, the Independent . i hopes that this case n ay prove an ex ' । ception and the heirs realize their fond- j 1 est hopes. J. W. Baugher ha- entered into the : i manufacture of lawn swings at his mill. ■ He is making a first class swing, which ■ !he has named the “Alpine," it being ; ■ large enough to hold four persons, two on each side. The swing is giving excellent satisfaction wherever tried. It is Mr. Baugher's own device, and is said to be an improvement over any other lawn swing now in use. He is receiving a large number of orders and expects to push this new department of his busi nossin the future. United States department of agriculture.

A Living Object Lesson for Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. , f St ‘Or I* ' ' / HEART DISEASE is curable. “For over forty years," writes Daniel Myers of Two Taverns, Pa., on Aug. 10, 1896, “I suffered with heart disease. First a slight palpitation, gradually growing worse. Then shortness of breath, sleeplessness, smothering sensations and much pain in the region of the heart alarmed me and I consulted a physician. Receiving no benefit I tried o'heis and a number * °f remedies, spending '' »ussj ” a hirge amount of money, but finally beMisaiiCiol c«ime so bad t hat, it was i 31 unsafe for me to leave Ho st ) J connnC nced Health using Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure two years ago. For eighteen months I have been well. Although 72 years of age I can go where I wish and I sleep all night and wake up as cheerful as a babe and completely rested."
