£|jc 3ni>cpcnUcnt. SATURDAY, SEPT. 2, 1899. ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY AT WALKERTON, - - - INDIANA W. A. Endlky, - Editor and Publisher. . $1.25 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Tom Reed has resigned and will now practice some of the laws he has been helping to make. Newton Bros, have sold the Winamac Republican to C. W. Riddick, late of the White Pigeon, Mich., Journal.

John R. McLean has bought the Toledo Commercial and will make a red hot democratic daily for northern Ohio. Mayor Schuyler Colfax, of South Bend, is announced as a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. The trouble brewing between England and the Transvaal republic continues to grow more threatening and it is believed that war cannot be averted. In Hendricks county the men appointed to serve as members of the new coun ty council decline to accept on account of the smallness of the salary.

John R. McLean, editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, was nominated for governor on the first ballot by the Ohio democratic convention at Zanesville last Wedneeday. Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural

department does not believe that the beef slaughtering firms can corner beef, as the cattle are owned by too many men all over the country. It is announced that General Dunston will return home on account of impaired health. But he will have a worthy sue- i ceesor in General Joe Wheeler to hike command of his brigade. The window glass trust is about to smash. It has proven a failure. Many other trusts will follow in its wake. The trust business is being overdone and a reaction is almost sure to come. The biggest advertising contract made in many years with a single newspaper is one just closed between Wanamaker and the Philadelphia Record, which is for a whole page for a year for SIOO,OCO. Tom Taggart has been renominated by the democrats for mayor of Indianapolis, Thare is no shrewder politician in the state than Taggart and he is jwebably as strong a man as the democrats could have nominated. An Indianapolis special says: The auditor of the interior department today made public the amount disbursed by the pension agent at Indianapolis for the fiscal year just closed. Amount paid out for pensions, $10,843,629.50. Expenses of agent, $26,607. Senator Beveridge is expected to arat his home in Indianapolis the -EEBAgf this week and arrangements are read*j for giving him a great reception. He wit?address the Commercial Club of that city soon on the foreign relations of this country. His speech will be awaited with interest, as his personal investigations in the Philippines will give weight to what he may say. The Chicago Record suggests as a means of holding the trusts in check, that congress levy a tax on their capital. It further suggests that this tax be graduated so as to fall lightly on the small, legitimate companies, and that on the large combines it be made heavy enough to squeeze all the water out of their stock. The Indianapolis Sentinel concurs in this proposition, declaring it to be entirely practicable and the proper method of proceeding to deal with them. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; and have the satisfac tion of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases of the throat, chest and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on all druggists and get a free trial bottle. Regular size 50c and sl. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. On Thursday, September 21, the Lake Erie A Western Railroad will run their i ” »u UUb \ tome Visitors’ Excursion to । Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Ohio,! Louisville, Ky., and intermediate points. i The rates ar« so low that it will he I cheaper to go on this excursion than to ■ stay at home, thus giving everybody an ' opportunity to visit their old home and friends in the states of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.

OPINIONS OP THE PRESS. One Sunday in Chicago is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that the W. C. T. U. will never run out of work. —Nappanee News. The water works were shut off a short time Friday morning to repair a small leak in the tank. As the price of the product of labor advances it ie but reasonable that the toilers should participate in the rise.— Marion News. A lot of critics who couldn’t stand up five seconds against McCoy will now proceed to tell the young pugilist what he ought to have done.— Lafayette Call. We presume that the Goebel democrats and the anti-Goebel democrats in Kentucky are both quoting Thomas Jefferson in support of their doctrines. — Columbus Republican. Farmers are learning, often after it is too lata, that growing timber on steep side hills and gullies is the beet possible use such land can be put to. The native timber should never be cleared from such places.—LaPorte Argus. What smallness it is to criticise Dewey for wearing good clothes. It is just the same sort of spirit that was manifested toward Gen. Grant in civil war times, though. He was not thought to be what he ought to be because he did not clothe himself in better raiment. He had no taste whatever for dress. Yet what is his fame? It will go ringing down the ages for all time as one of the greatest generals of his generation as will that of the hero of Manila, as one of the greatest admirals of his day. Nothing can dim the luster that surrounds the names of Grant, the gawk, and Dewey, the dude.—South Bend Tribune. John D. Rockefeller, being a highminded, philanthropic sort of cuss, will, it is said, contribute of hie funds all honestly earned, of course, he being in the oil business toward the establish^ ment of a great combine to fight the beef trust. Knowing Rockefeller as we do, ‘ we think it safe to advise every house

■ I holder to fill his ice chest with steaks and his cellar with hams, before the | price goes clean out of sight. Rocke- । feller's long suit is the endowment of colleges and the operation thereof on the Rockefeller idea. He has never shown < any inclination to make board any I cheaper. We do not anticipate that any movement on his part will enable board < ing-houses to feed their hungry on I porterhouse steaks three times a day. Indianapolis Sun. i Profits of the Sugar Beet. « According to figures from the Starke a County Republican there is, as a rule, a a net profit of about $.30 per acre in the f raising of sugar beets. The editor of > the Republican, who was a member of a I committee from Starke county who visited Bay City, Mich., which is located ( in a great sugar beet belt, to investigate ( this industry, says that everybody in c that locality is an enthusiast on the 1 sugar beet and all say there is more money in it than in any other crop, i The Republican gives the following < figures showing the cost of producing 1 and marketing an acre of beets: ‘ Use of land per acre $ 5.00 t Plowing land per acre 1.65 I Dragging 34 Drilling seed 23 115 lire, seed ft 15c per lb 2.25 , Cultivating before thinning 54 Thinning and bunching per acre.. 5.93 ' Cultivating 4 times after thinning. I.os Second weeding 3.24 Pulling beets 62 Topping beets 6.34 Marketing beets 7.49 Total cost per acre $34.71 The man who gave the editor of the Republican the above figures raised 14 2-5 tons per acre and received for the same $65.23, leaving him a net profit of $30.52.

DEATH RECORD. DARE. John Dare, Sr., died last Sunday mon' ing from the stroke of paralysis wit which he was taken on Friday, the 25ti ult. Hie age was about 69 years. Mr Dare was born in England but came to 1 the United States with his parents when* he was about two years old. He located on hie farm on the Island about 50 years ago, living there until about three years ago when he moved his family to town and occupied a comfortable new home in the southwest part of town. When Mr. Dare located on the Island the country around him was wild and primitive. There were but tw r o white families living between his house and Lal’orte. The inhabitants of the country were mostly Indians. Mr. Dare was among the few hardy pioneers who helped to clear the forests and prepare the way for the advance of civilization. Mr. Dare was an upright, honorable citizen, and a man in whom everybody had confidence. He leaves a wife and five grown children. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church Tuesday at 10 a. m., Rev. W. A. Smith officiating. Interment in Walkerton cemetery. We are selling off hata at coet at Millard's.
