WALKERTON INDEPENDENT W. A. ENDLEY. Publisher WALKERTON, - INDIANA Happy is the individual who has , no grievances to redress. Japan will first make war on that large and overshadowing deficit. Billy Lush has resigned from the Yale football team. But lushing will continue in the same old woy. Bigheart, who died the other day, was the richest Indian in America. An Indian doesn't have to live up to his name, any more than a white man. New York women may have tableaux vivants as interesting as Chicago’s, but it will be everlastingly remembered in the smart set that Chicago got there first. The man with the hammer doesn't always hit the nail right on the head,” says the Washington Post. This is very true; Ire is engaged most of the time knocking his fellow-man. A bigamist in Britain is said to have married 500 times. And yet, so stubborn is tradition, they will probably continue, in England, to give the palm of bravery to Nelson and Gordon. Another well-known French writer on international politics declares that war between the United States and Japan is inevitable. Couldn’t we get the French to let us have peace if we paid them well for it? The World almanac gives the standing army of Japan as 220,000, figures indicating that a great part of it is in the United States acting as spies and getting arrested to help out the poor, but deserving, newspaper correspond ents. According to a St. Louis physician no -scientific practitioner of medicine recognizes any such disease as the grippe. But it is pretty safe to suppose -that they get rather angry if their bill for its treatment is not recognized. Gertrude Atherton has announced that “New York never makes up its mind about anything.” After all, remarks the Baltimore American, it is really interesting to discover that New York has a mind. The general impression is that it is entirely pocketbook. The Mont Cenis route, the oldest of the Alpine through lines, is to follow the lead of the St. Gothard and Simplon routes and employ electric traction on its mountain division. Under the stress of competition of the more recent lines, the French government has also double-tracked the approach to the tunnel on its side of the mountain, and the Italian government will carry this double-tracking to Turin. One of the English “suffragettes,” who tried, but vainly, to start the doctrine of force in this country, has been telling London that suffrage is checked in this country by the gallantry of the men, who say the women r can have anything they ask for, and —by the folly of the women, who reply that they have already everything they want. She seems, with true British denseness, to be utterly oblivious of the excellent showing she is making for us all around. Cable lines look straight enough as seen on the maps, but they are anything but straight as they lie on the ocean floor. Dr. Klotz of Canada said in a recent lecture that the great Pacific cable, 8,000 miles long, between Vancouver and New Zealand was time and again deflected from a straight line between the island stations at which it touched in order to avoid towering submarine mountains or craters or ground that was hard or otherwise undesirable as a , resting place for the cable. The Ohio state fire marshal has been looking up the records and makes the announcement that last year in the United States parlor matches caused a loss of $2,000,000 and 500 lives. That is a serious and tragic matter. But it is not fair to lay the blame wholly on the matches. They may be dangerous, but as a rule they do not start fires spontaneously. It is the human factor that must be reckoned With, and unfortunately, there is a great deal of carelesness, thoughtlessness and stupidity in the world. According to a table contained in the annual report of the Carnegie Foundation showing the annual inicomes of nearly 500 colleges and universities in this country, there are only four with incomes above a million dollars. These four are not .specified by name, but the Boston Herald suggests that presumabb’ they are Harvard, Columbia, the University of Chicago and the Stanford university. The incomes of half .of the whole 500 range all the way from SIO,OOO to :$50,0Q0 only. Woman's ingenuity with a hairpin, .■and her invincibility when armed with a hatpin, are well known. A new implement has now been added to the feminine equipment—a pair of rubber shoes. Four persons were entangled in the coils of a live wire in New York. No one dared to help -them, says the Youth's Companion in telling the story, until a young girl came along, took off her rubbers, and using them as gloves, handled the wire skillfully and safely, tied it round .a telegraph pole, and walked quietly away, after having refused to give her name. The Columbia debaters are opposed ' to entering the lists against a Cornell co-ed. No debate, in their opinion, is one unless everybody has a chance to talk. A Cleveland preacher advises peo pie not to get married until they lea’ that they will die if they don't.

TWO CHIEFS LUCKY SHAH AND PRESIDENT ALCORTA DODGE BOMBS. PERSIAN EFFORT FATAL Three of Monarch’s Outriders Are Slain While Explosive Tossed at South American Fails to Accomplish End. Teheran, Persia. —An attempt was made in this city Friday afternoon to assassinate the shah of Persia by a bomb. His majesty was not hurt. Three of the outriders who were accompanying him at the time were killed. The shah owes his escape to the precautions taken to protect him from just such an attempt as was made Friday afternoon. He was on his way to a near-by town where he intended to pass a few days. The procession had left the palace and was traversing a narrow street when two bombs were hurled down at it from the roof of a house. One exploded in the air, but the other struck the ground near the shah's’ automobile This missile in exploding killed the three outriders, wounded the chauffeur and a score of bystanders and shattered the vehicle. The shah, however, was sftQt In his automobile. He had taken caution to send the motor car on aneacl Shah of Persia. and ride himself in a carriage further in the rear of the procession. The motor car was a closed one. and it was thought that the sovereign was inside. America Congratulates Him. Washington. The shah of Persia Saturday received the congratulations of the American government on his escape from assassination. The message, signed by Secretary Root, was cabled to Minister Jackson at Teheran Friday: “Convey to his excellency hearty congratulations on his fortunate escape.” Outrage in Buenos Ayres. Buenos Ayres.—A dynamite bomb was thrown Friday against a carriage in which President Alcorta was driv Ing, but failed to explode. Four persons. were arrested wrti -e-'wn-rHclty in the plot. Recently there has been political unrest in Argentina owing to the issuance January 26 of an executive decree closing the extraordinary sessions of congress and putting into effect for the current financial year the budget of 1907. This extreme measure was made necessary by the obstructive tactics of a majority in the senate which made impossible the passage of the budget or other legislation. INDIAN SENATORS IN TILT. Controversy Between Curtis and Owen Soothed by Carter. Washington.—One of the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in the senate was enacted Thursday when Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma insisted in tragic tones and with face showing much emotion that the five civilized tribes of Indians were dead and that he as a member of the tribe of Cherokee Indians was not under the control of the secretary of the interior. The event was rendered all the more interesting by the fact that Senator Owen was sharply engaged in controversy by Senator Charles Curtis, (Kan.) himself a Kaw Indian. It was the first time that two men with Indian blood in their 'veins had ever locked horns as senators in the senate chamber. Senator Carter came to the rescue and attempted to show that both senators were right. Special Message to Congress. Washington. — President Roosevelt Wednesday transmitted to congress a special message on the report of the inland waterways commission. The president's message approved the work of the body from its start and the chief executive went on record as favoring the proposed system of inland waterways, as advocated in the west and by the commission which has spent some time at work on the matter. Bradley Wins Toga. Frankfort, Ky.—Amid scenes of wildest excitement on the floor of the house of representatives, former Gov. William O’Connell Bradley, Republican candidate, was Friday elected to succeed James H. McCreary in the United States senate for a term of six years, beginning March 4, 1909. Prof. Korr Is Chosen.

The motion proposing the complete abolition of such teaching was defeated

OUR WARSHIPS GOOD AS ANY REAR ADMIRAL CAPPS REPLIES TO MAGAZINE ARTICLE. Chief Constructor of Navy Answers Criticisms Before Senate Naval Committee. Washington. — Rear Admiral Washington Lee Capps, chief constructor of the navy, Wednesday before the senate committee on naval affairs replied to the magazine article written by Henry Reuterdahl in criticism of the construction of American battleships. The admiral asserted that the American ships are the equal of ships of any navy of the world. The most serious charges made, he said, were of insufficient free board, meaning height from water line to deck; insufficient gun height, and improper location of main line armor belts, and all these he explained have been the subject of the closest study and experiment for many years by naval designers ol every country. Admiral Capps characterized as "exploded" the theory that if a shall penetrated the armor plate at a slight incline it would be deflected upward by the armor of the protected deck. “All efforts,” he added, “should be directed toward keeping the shell out; all the armor should be put on the ship in vertical form.” “Put it all on the, reTinman —. if B m B’AimwuMl T 11 inches of armor it will explode any way. The protected deck w'ould not be a protection at all.” The admiral said the fact that in the Dreadnaught class in Great Britain, and the Delaware class in the United States, the forward free board has been made one deck higher than the previous class does not indicate that ’ the latter was too low. “They are just right for their type,” ' he said. “The Delaware is made high I forward because she is designed on ; finer lines, much longer, and for great- I er speed, which, of course, casts the j ; spray higher. No increase has been ' i made in the free board except at the how.” j He stated that during the five hours firing in the fight of the sea of Japan, the rapidity of firing from big guns of Japanese vessels was only onefourth of that maintained by the American navy during recent target practice.

President Roosevelt Will Continue Fight on Corruption, i L Washington.—That there will be no ' let up in President Rosevelt s policy of ’ warring “against rottenness and cor- I 1 ruption,” was emphatically declared ' by the president Wednesday in an ad- ‘ dress to the delegates to the depart- ■ ment of superintendence of the Na- ’ tional Education association during their reception at the White House. ■ Continuing, the president gave his ■ views on educational methods at con- ! siderable length and with character--1 istic catholicity of thought and vigor of expression.

I had a bad fall and it affected my kidneys. Severe pains in my back and hips became constant, and sharp twinges followed any exertion. The kidney secretions were badly discolored. I lost flesh

and grew too weak to work. Though constantly using medicine I despaired of being cured until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. Then relief came quickly, and in a short time I was completely cured.

I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and 1 can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme.

WINTER WHEAT CROP HE REALIZED S3B PER ACRE. HIS OATS $37 PER ACRE IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA, WESTERN CANADA. Coaldale, Alta, Can., Nov. 19, 1907. Sir: I beg to say that this year had 349 acres of grain, consisting of 197 acres of spring wheat and 152 acres of oats. The average yield of wheat was 38 bushels per acre and oats 74 bushels. We were offered SI.OO per bushel for wheat and 50 cents for oats, making the acre values for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00 respectively. We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of potatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, the latter off 2 1 ,/. acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 107 ; cres of wheat, making 41 bushels per acre at sl. 00 per bushel, would ba $41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yielding 95 bushels per acre were sold for ,50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00 per acre. I might add that 50 acres of our oats were “stubbled in.” During the spring of 1906, we hired about 300 acres broken by steam. YVe put in and harvested 55 acres of grain last year, did the remainder of our breaking, worked up the ground and seeded this year's entire crop, put in seven acres of alfalfa and live, acres of garden potatoes, trees, etc., aii with one four-horse team. During harvest we hired other teams, but, aside from this, and part of the breaking,, the one team did the work of raising practically 19,000 bushels of grain, worth $12,000. Yours truly, W. H. PAWSON, JR. WINTER WHEAT 25 TO 30 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA. Warner, Uta, Canada, Jan. 9, 1908. Dear Sir: This is the first year of farming in this settlement. Mr. A. L. \\ arner raised twenty-five hundred and fifteen bushels of fine winter . wheat on one hundred acres of breaking and Tenny brothers had sixty i acres thal went thirty bushels per ' acre. The winter wheat that is ia this year looks fine. Spring wheat here went thirty bushels per acre, oats fifty to eighty, barley fifty, and flax ten to fifteen on sod. The settlers here are all well pleased with the country. The stock have not required any feed except the grans up to this date and are all fat. Yours truly, F. S. LEFFINGWELL.
