Tut: saving of destitute and homeless children is a noble work. We believe it is greater, and better than sending money to China or Zulu Land. It is succoring the innocent and extending the hand of charity to the helpless. It is strengthening the foundation of the superstructure which is to be the work of a new generation ami is showing better results proportionate to labor asd money extended than almost any uther line of charitable work.

A PROGRESSIVE MOVE.

tl. Spangle' New Ouarters Ave a Urvat Improvement Over the M! -Itetler Ar Hiitfeiiieiit And Display. People who were familiar with the store of I-. Spangle in the building recently vacated by him, can hardly recognize the same store in the new location threedoors north. With more room, better display and more attractive arrangement. Spangle's business should grow as his efforts deserve, and that it will there is no doubt for no community is quicker to recognize pluck and energy than he is. Spangleis now handling the IJaldwin, Fisher, Islington and Valley (Jem pianos, and the Hamilton and Kstey organs. These with musical merchandise of various sorts are arranged on one side of the store room, while the other side is devoted to watches, clocks and jewelry, of which is a limited line in eluding some very excelent stock, Mr. Spangle announces, however, that he will procure anythink in the jewelry line from a shirt stud, to a diamond necklace, that he will, in fact furnish to order on short notice anything in his line arid not in stock, lie takes orders for piano tuning and for organ tuning, cleaning, repairing and refinishing and guarantees all work first class in all respects, lie has a team and also announces that he will deliver organs and pianos to any part of Marshall county on payments ranging from ." upward per month or at the lowest prices lor cash or bankable notes. The optical department will le kept, as heretofore tip to date in every res pec. and watch and clock reparing will re ceive careful attention at the lowest prices.

The iroioiil Hoy;. A good many of our friends seems to be demoralized over our article on the ground hog in .Monday's paper. F.ven our old friend J. V. Astley informed us that after such a break, which closely indicated that we were not up Sunday morning in time to go to chur?li, he would be compelled to discontinue takeing the best paper in the county owing to the position it. had taken on the ground hog question. We have also been informed by disinterested parties that John Hohaui, after he learned that we had made such a broad assertion wherein we atlirmed that the "American Hoodoo," did not see his shadow, came down town bare headed, and used every argument possiblewith several of his friends in an effort to induce them to come down to the Imi-:ikmkxt ollice and smite it "hip and thigh.;' Now we propose to hold last to what we get. We have had the honor of conversing with the spirit of the originator of this great theory of the ground hog seeing his shadow, and we received the information at that time, that all tl iose poor mortals who built their hopes on the appearance of the frisky "chipmunk," were in grave error, and we have taken this time to remove from their minds a fatal mistake. Now listen ye ground hog worshipers, ye believers in the elliciency of a chubby shadow: The ground hog does not come out of his winter nest until high noon on the 2nd of February, and those who adhere so closely to the old tradition, and leave their beds that morning to catch a glimpse of the sun to be able to verify their predictions on the ground hog theory, have all made a foolish mistake. The ground hog did not see his shadow in Marshall county, Indiana Sunday. Found C.ol.l. While putting down a well near Valparaiso one day last week, several pieces of gold quartz was found. Although the lind was eighty-three feet deep, it has raised considerable excitement. This linding gold in every hole dug will have a tendency to cause an alarm among the gold bugs of Wall street. It might cause the price for bullion to depreciate.

And lure from ales of tyranny To placid 'lipid's out-stretched ai m. '1 he Inquest. A great deal of conversation has been brought about by the dragging out of the inquest regarding the shooting of John Swoverland. A difference in opinion seems to be prevalent. A great many believe that all the coronershould do in the matter, is to take sullicent evidence to con vinco him that the killing his been done, ami by whom, and enough to satisfy him regarding the important matter. A lew believe the entile array of evidence should be heard. There is no doubt that the majority are of the former opinion, and the InlU'.PLiNiuiNT is inclined to believe that should have been the proper course for Coroner Kaszer to have taken. It is the opinion of those who are fully acquainted with the facts that the evidence so far heard is of sutlicient accuracy for the corone:' to render his verdict. The attacks made upon Coroner Kasz.-r regarding the linancial remuneration, is wholly without foundation. The first day's service, entitles him to ..X) and milage at live cents per mile, amounting to some sT.oo. Fach day he attends to his duties on this case thereafter he received s'-ViO, not enough to justify tum for the time he is away from his regular pracl ice, let alone the wear and tear on carpet, etc., by snow and mud brought in by witnesses and people there for curiosity. c believe the coroner is conscientious in his ilea lings With this case, but he does seem to make haste awfully slow.
