Thompson said they "bag ged Vl.t snipe. e did not learn who held the bag, but Kldredge was so pos itive regarding the number, that we decide he must have been the party. In regard to the assertion made by Mr. Brooke in his last night issue re garding our agent selling papers at Bourbon for one cent, we desire to say, that our agent at that place did it upon nis own responsibility, hen we learned this fact we immediately in formed him to stop it. Mr. Brooke's idea is to try and impress upon the minds of the people that we are inclined to meet his price for the daily which is untrue and could not possibly be done without a loss of money. An exchange forcibly expresses the tendency of human nature when it says: As long as a man is prosperous and has money, he can't keep friends off with a tase ball bat. The moment he is unfortunate and his wealth is gone, he is not only snubbed by his former alleged friends, but they begin to do him all the harm possible. When a man starts up grade the world falls behind and pushes. When he starts down grade, the world steps to one side and greases the track.

Fight yards make a roll, sixteen yards a double roll, of wall paper. We always give prices of double rolls. Be sure and see our papers before you buy.

The Klkhart police force was all torn up the other day by discovering a large number of masks. They had about de cided that a large gang of robbers were located in their midst when they made the discovery that they belonged to a Maccabee lodge. Tho Methodist people at Valparaiso have arisen to the necessity of the times and fixed up what is termed a wheelery." In the future anyone de siring to go to church on a wheel will find a place to dispose of it until after the services. It is said by the Columbia City Com mercial, that a number of young men of that city are contemplating the organi zation of a company to go to Cuba. Such a spirit is truly patriotic, but the season will soon be at hand in that country which can kill more men than the Spanish army. A man by the name of Blanchard near Valparaiso, says the Messenger, has a hen that laid an egg tho shape of a dumb bell, the yolk being in one half while the white snugly nestles in the other. Kven the hens are shaping their course like the political parties.

Liberal purses will be given in connection with a per cent of the gate receipts. Special railroad rates will be secured. The (Bobe clothing house at Walkerton is taking silver dollars in exchange for clothing, so it announces. It is truly awful that some of our single standard friends do not take it upon themselves to notify this firm how fast they are going to destruction by ex changing their goods for a lifty-cent dollar. Why, if they don't ttop they will be bankrupt sure.

The name of William J. Bankin, who is the present county treasurer, appears in The Independent today asking for the re-nomination at the hands of the republican party.

If you should desire to learn some thing regarding "birds of paradise," the best informed people we are aware of in Plymouth is Geo. Baylor and Lew Suit. They discovered some very rare specimens yesterday, and from what we can learn they were not particular what grade of paint was used either. The News last week spoke of a large hotel being erected on the Parker lot. It pains us exceedingly to tell our dear friend ofthat paper that such is not the case. In fact there has not up to this time been any transfer of the property made. Kven if that is done the prospect for a hotel being erected is very slim indeed. Tin: Independent has been onto this deal for severa weeks but refrained from mentioning it until it could give the facts. We wil report the matter when it is fully set tied. The announcement that last Sunday wouiu oe lie v. Charlton s last service with the Presbyterian church of this city caused considerable comment. Bu even this withdrawal seems to sink into insignificance by the side of the sensa tional rumors that were lloating around upon our streets yesterday regarding some of the official actions of the church. It is really too bad that any thing should occur that would in any way injure the good work done by this organization in our city. As we do no desire to be drawn into a controversy of this kind we refrain from giving the report. Nile Tr'Ud. Notwithstanding the bad weather "Side Tracked'' at the Centennial opera house, last night, drew a fair house. J A.
