WALKERTON INDEPENDENT W. A. ENDLEY. Publisher WALKERTON. - INDIANA The giant bees of India build combs 18 feet high. The case of Castro proves that it sometimes pays to be little. If speculation were to be entirely abolished the buying of cantaloupes would cease. Mr. Edison has $25,000,000, but what good does it do him while he works 16 hours a day? The king of Servia wants his sons married to American heiresses before * he is deposed. How can the Sick Man of Europe show anything but the feeblest kind of a constitution? Speed maniacs occasionally kill themselves, but otherwise they generally go unpunished. The apple orchards look as if cider vinegar might live up to its name for awhile, after next fall. Twenty-five women lay delegates attended the general Methodist Episcopal conference in Baltimore. One University of Chicago professor does not believe in the miracles. But there are still plenty of people who do. A man has been discovered in New Jersey who is immune from the bite of a mad dog. How does he stand on mosquitoes? Mrs. Hetty Green has quit hotel life “because she has to wear too many clothes.” Where’s she going to live—in a bath-house? Seeing that he is a sort of antelope. It is suggested that the thar born in the New York zoo is a member of the “git thar” family. The transient hotel population of New York is figured at 250,000 people a day. The hotel properties are valued at over $80,000,000. A new disease has been discovered In Pittsburg — “automobile heart.” Every now and then it stops and you have to get out and crank it. The sultan is thinking of changing his name to emperor. We should suppose he would want some kind of an alias, considering the life he has led. The German ministry of marine has begun preparations for the complete fortification of Heligoland, for which £1,500,000 has been granted by the reichstag. Los Angeles man who inherited big fortune says he is going to make 20,000 people happy, and now fully that many people will try their best to make him unhappy. Statistics indicate that living expenses have been increased 11 per cent, in New York during the past year. In a majority of the cases it isn’t much of a living, either. It will soon be cheaper to send a letter from England to this country than to mail it to France, just across the channel. Is this a case of blood or language, or just plain business? In Austria a married man cannot go up in a balloon unless he has the written consent of his wife. Over there they must regard ballooning as more dangerous than remaining late at the club. Fully 300 guests at a French banquet suffered ptomaine poisoning from a duck. Oh, the marvels of French culinary art, which can produce 300 dainty portions out of one decayed duck! The prince of Wales is going back to England without deigning to take a look at this country. It may be that he feels spunky because nobody invited him to speak at any of our Chautauquas. Two monster whales have just been killed on the Eden coast of New South Wales, thereby furnishing a reminder that the whale fishery was once looked upon as the staple industry of the Australian continent. The Paris waiters thought better of their threat to reveal the horrors of the restaurant kitchen and called off their strike. They took counsel together and decided that no person would ever believe them! Worse and worse. A religious exchange says it is a waste of money to spend campaign funds in the printing and circulation of campaign literature. “We never read a campaign document through to the end,” it declares, “and never knew any one who did.” It is safe to say that the one who makes this assertion does not always recognize such documents when he sees them. Campaign literature takes many forms and is found in unlooked-for places. Since the British set foot in the sacred city of Lhasa, in Tibet, the dalai-lama, the head of the Buddhist church, has been wandering about Mongolia with a large retinue. He could not stay in a city defiled by infidels, and has been traveling from one city of the faithful to another at great expense to the faithful. He now approaches Peking. The Chinese government is probably not anxious to entertain this costly guest, says the Youth’s Companion, but is trying to persuade him to go home and re-es-tablish the administration of Tibet. Capt. A. G. Olsen, the other officers of the ship, and 12 passengers, join in a sworn statement that on June 24, while the steamship Livingstone was in the Gulf of Mexico, out from Galveston, a sea serpent 200 feet long was seen resting on the water not more than 60 feet from the vessel. It was dark-brown in color, as large around as a flour barrel, and had a head six feet long and three feet wide. Most terrifying of all the particulars is the ' description of the rattles with which ! it was asserted the serpent’s tail was I adorned.

Hughes to take testimpny and report his findings upon the charges filed against District Attorney William Travers Jerome of New York county by a minority stockholders’ committee of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, in a report submitted to the governor Monday, finds that not one of the series of charges is proved, but that all are disproved upon the evidence.

NO SUNDAY DRINKS ATLANTIC CITY SALOONS AND HOTEL BARS CLOSED. RESULT OF FORT’S THREAT Liquor Sellers Heed the Governor’s Warning, Though It Costs Them About $150,. CO—Cases Are Deserted. Atlantic City. Nt J.—A real blue Sunday came to Atlantic City. Many i persons familiar with the history of i this far-famed resort had been in- : , dined to doubt the possibility of such i ' a thing, but every one of the 220 ! । saloons and hotel bars was closed. I hey were closed alike to bona fide guests as well as to strangers, just arrived within the gates. Gov. Fort's proclamation containing his threat, to send troops to the seashore resort in the event of a further j violation of the Sunday closing law I had its effect. Saloonkeepers and hotel men reluctantly accepted the advice of the mayor and of the more conservative members of the saloon men's\organization, and closed their ' places of business as tightly as they knew how. Screens came tumbling down Saturday midnight and remained down all day. Boardwalk cases that on Sundays past have been thronged to their utmost capacity serving liquors and food were all but deserted. A visit during the height of the afternoon j crush on the boardwalk to one of the i most widely-known cases facing the I famous seaside thoroughfare disclosed 1 the fact that not a single patron was in the place. The proprietors de- - dared that the loss of the drink priv- i i ilege had carried with it a nearly i । equal loss in the sale of foodstuffs. A spokesman for the afi’ecKd liquor ; interests, and one of the local political - leaders declared that the loss from , j closing would amount approximately to $150,000. He declared that the saloons would close every Sunday hereafter until some warrant of law will permit of their remaining open. “We will appeal to the legislature when it meets in January, and have hope of 1 securing some sort of relief,” he said.

Originating at Bienville and Chartres streets, the flames worked their way north as far as Conti street, and west towards Royal, bringing about a loss of between one and two million dollars before they were finally subdued. Several circumstances combined to ■ give the fire a headway which proved I hard to overcome. At the time the j alarm was turned in, shortly before ! three o’clock, the New Orleans fire- | * men were in the midst of their annual picnic at a suburban park, and the engines and patrols responded with a mere handful of men. It was fully an hour before the department was in a position to make anything like a successful fight against the fire, and then the handicap against it wss added to by an inadequate supply' of water. SPERRY FORMALLY WELCOMED. Official Landing Day for American : Fleet at Melbourne. — Melbourne.—Monday was official 5 landing day for the American fleet and Admiral Sperry and the officers of the | battleships came ashore formally, in j full regalia, and were formally’ welcomed by the federal and city officials, j Sunday was set down on the pro- | gram as a "free day," nothing in the । way of formal entertainments having I been arranged for the visitors, but ; nevertheless those who came ashore i from the warships managed to I spend some enjoyable hours driving | and sightseeing.
