A MODKKN MIKAC1.K. What was accidentally discovered by l'rof. Roentgen a few weeks ago is rapidly being wrought into a Ninteenth century miracle. Kdison, the great wizard of the age, and in a sense the great wizard of all ages, is penetrating farther and farther into what has hitherto been an impenetrable realm. The announcement that the wizard has perfected apparatus by which the whole internal organism of man may be viewed with the same ease with which doctors have heretofore been able to examine peoples tongues has set the ever greatly expectant scientific world in a furor and paved the way for a credulity that will not hesitate to accept as true the announcement of any achievement no matter how wonderful.

A QUERY.

A Converted Kepulilicun Iesire ta .k lh Ktlitor of the Kveniiic a Feu Ouett ion. Argos, March Sid, IHM. "In perusing the columns of the Plymouth Republican, I was deeply impressed by a local in that paper, of more than usual interest. It referred to the address delivered by J. s. Coxey at the opera house in that city on the 11th inst in which he gave a comprehensive explanation of the linancial question. The Republican states that Mr. Coxey is evidently a man who desires an ollice, and having been unable to secure it at the hands of either the old pa -ties is now attempting to gain notoriety, and at the same time seek revenge through the people's party. Now what we desire is information from Mr. IJrooke. We desire to learn at his hands evidence that will substantiate his assertions. Please show us where and under what circumstances J. S. Coxey was connected with the democratic or republican parties; or that he ever was. or ever tried to be a candidate for oflice in either of the old parties. Any information in the possession of editor IJrooke regarding these questions will be gratefully recei ved and accepted by a converted republican. Dallas Van Dorston, Argos, Ind.

fruslil Finten-. The little seven-year-oJd son of Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Baker, who resides a short distance north of Linkville, met with a painful accident Tuesday about 7 o'clock. The little fellow had often seen his father shell corn in a hand sheller and thought he would assist him in the work. He started the sheller and in some way got his right hand caught in the cog wheels. Refore the sheller could be stopped, it badly mangled every finger on the hand, except the little linger, which was caught slightly. The little fellow was brought to Dr. Wilson's ollice immediately and the injured member dressed. W hile no bones were broken, the llesh was lacerated; but the youngster stood up to the pain like a man while the dressing of the fingers was in progress.

Or. Linn, of ISourboii. I iivn up 1V Iii riiTKi-i;tu. As announced Monday by the InDKi'KNDKNT, Dr. Linn, of Rourbon, has been quite ill. He has been alllicted with a severe attack of la grippe. The disease has so farballied the skill of all the physicians and settled down to a complication of troubles that effects the stomach, muscles and lungs. Monday evening there were four physicians at his bedside, Drs. Johnson, Matchette, of Rourbon, Parks, of Atwood and Wilson, of this city. After a consultation it was found that there was but little, if any hopes for him. and all that can be done to alleviate the sufferings of they dying man is being do ne. Dr. Linn is an old landmark in the city of Rourbon and of Marshall county, having practiced medicine for a number of years. A man respected by all who have come in contact with him, and one whom his associate physicians highly honor. It is to be deeply deplored that this aged practioneer is so near the close of a useful life.

s'iiouly III. Dr. Linn, of Rourbon, has been ser iously ill for several days with a complication of diseases. A consultation of physicans was held Friday which was attended by Dr. Wilson of this city. A card received this morning reports the doctor some better, but he passed a restless night last night.

The "Winner."

I.il 1T It-!.

The funeral of the late Will Hogarth occurred yesterday from the home of his brother on Center street. The remains were followed by a long procession to Oak Hill cemetery where the last sad rites were performed and the body was laid away to rst forever.

"Editor" Rrooke, of the News, has frequently alluded to Zim the "winner." The only trouble he has come in contact with when using this word, is the inability to properly spell the word he attempts to use. He means "Winnkk." Now if he will spell that word properly he will hit the nail right square on the head, for the Independent is a sunn winner, because the fair-minded people of Plymouth and Marshall county have so decreed.
