WALKERTON INDEPENDENT W. A. ENDLEY. Publisher WALKERTON. - INDIANA Yellowstone park Is becoming almost as unsafe as if it were a great city. An infant weighing 20 pounds was born at Shewano, Wis., the other day. Who can think of an appropriate name for him? Every American must respect the army uniform and the navy uniform, but he cannot respect the man who wears it when that man proves himself unworthy. A shortage of chorus girls was reported lately in New York, and now Oklahoma reports a shortage of 1,200 school teachers. What are the girls doing, anyhow? The success of Maxims noiseless device for rifles serves to correct the somewhat popular notion that Maxim’s is something loud and noisy, as well as festive. Washington dispatches say that within the next 90 days a new Panama bond issue will probably be put out, amounting to about 125,000,000, but postage stamp bids won’t go. Texas has more miles of railroad than any other state, but still it is possible for the mosquitoes to get down to earth through the network of telegraph wires above the tracks. If Minister Wu has really discovered the secret of prolonging life indefinitely, the empress of China would scarcely be blamed for wanting the personal advice of so valuable a subject. We are not surprised at the feat of a St. Louis woman who has written a play in 16 hours. A good many of the current plays might, it would seem, have been written in less time than that. According to an observing coin collector superstitious persons who believe in the “13” hoodoo should have nothing to do with a quarter-dollar, for the unlucky 13 is much in evidence on the coins of that denomination. A British peer has just married a chorus girl in London. Maybe the peerage finds the American heiress giving out or getting wary, and is looking for wives among women who can support their husbands by going to work. The British consul at Tamsul reports that the total exports of camphor from Formosa in 1907 amounted to 4.121,566 pounds, of which 2,452,933 pounds was sent to Havre, London and Hamburg; 1,635,300 pounds to America, and 33,333 pounds to Madras. The New York health board has again arraigned the fly on the murderous charge of carrying typhoid microbes on his feet and thus distributing them on foods. This seems a little fanciful, but whether it be true or not, the fly is a malefactor and should be eliminated. The French Panama Canal Company, which went into bankruptcy in 1889, finally passed out of existence last month when the receivers were discharged. It took longer to wind up the affairs of the unsuccessful corporation than will be required for the American government to build the canal. The contest over the will of the late Sir Lionel Sackville SackvilleWest is not altogether astonishing. His domestic relations were somewhat extensive and complicated, as may be Inferred from a bet he once made while at sea, that he would marry the first woman he met when he landed. He won —in away. The duke of the Abruzzi continues to have difficulty in persuading the queen of Italy to consent to his marriage to Miss Elkins. The queen has a reputation at home for beauty, and It is but natural that she should not want another woman at court who would become, as a well-known Chicagoan once said, the sinecure of all eyes. That Genoan father who shot and killed the driver of an automobile, and also one of the woman occupants of the vehicle, who was a marchioness, when he saw his child crushed to death before his eyes, is commended by some in Genoa who do not stop to reason; but his violence is more reprehensible than the neglect of the chauffeur. An American woman has made a tour of Europe, with but one gown and no trunk at all. She has preferred comfort to style, and the fact of seeing to being seen. Having nothing but a suitcase, she has bought no handsome gowns or fine laces abroad to smuggle past the customs authorities. Not the unexpected, but the impossible has happened. Toledo, Ohio, is said to have fewer bad boys than any.other city in America. A writer in the World’s Work gives the reason in his account of the juvenile organization established there by a wise philanthropist. He organized the boys into drum corps and athletic teams, provided the uniforms and equipment, and then made it a condition of remaining in the organization that the members refrain from bad talk, alcohol, tobacoc and gambling. Almost any boy will give up a harmful habit for a harmless one if the harmless one is made attractive. Heretofore elections in Cuba have been the signal for disorder and revolutionary outbreaks. The recent elections were as peaceful as a contest for selectman in a New England town. The new electoral law which provides for non-partisan electoral boards was tried for the first time, and it proved to be a good political device. But the real reason for the unprecedented good order of the elections is to be found in the temper of the Cuban people. They are learning, if not to govern themselves, at least not to make a riot of government.

RELIEF FOR VICTIMS MICHIGAN IS QUICK TO HELP ITS FIRE-STRICKEN PEOPLE. GOVERNOR ISSUES APPEAL Detroit Also Adopts Prompt Measures —General Situation Improved But Conditions are Pitiful Among Survivors. Detroit, Mich. — Reports from the forest fire district of northern Michigan were fragmentary Sunday, but there were indications of improvement. in the general situation so far as imminent danger to life and property was concerened. But as to the victims who survived the destruction of their homes and villages, conditions are pitiful in the extreme with the likelihood of greater distress and many deaths from exposure in the event of a sudden drop of temperature falling upon the half clothed refugees camped in box cars and open fields. Relief Measures Taken. Gov. Fred M. Warner Sunday Issued an appeal to the people of Michigan for- contributions, and on call of Mayor William B. Thompson of Detroit a special meeting of the common council was held Monday morning to consider the matter of contributing relief. A public meeting also was held in the mayor's office at noon for the same purpose and Bishop Charles D. Williams of the Episcopal diocese of Michigan, who has just returned from the fire district, described conditions as he witnessed them. The Detroit board of commerce held a meeting at the Detroit club Sunday night to arrange the details of shipping a preliminary car load of provisions and bedding north Monday and Gov. Warner directed Adjt. Gen. McGurren of the state troops to take the initiative in similar measures at Grand Rapids. The Detroit & Mackinac Railroad company has already sent a dozen car loads of provisions, lumber and hay into the burned district from Bay City. Town of Ossineke Threatened. President J. D. Hawks of the Detroit & Mackinac railroad received word Sunday that forest fires were seriously threatening the town of Ossineke. south of Alpena on Thunder bay. Quartermaster Gen. W. J. Rogers, of the state troops, who was sent into the burned district to investigate conditions, telegraphed Gov. Warner today that there was no need of troops, as the fire situation was improved, temporarily at least. The immediate need, Gen. Rogers reported, was for bedding and food for the refugees and fodder for horses and cattle. “Fred M. Warner, Governor.” Known Dead Are Twenty-Six. Alpena, Mich. — Reports from the flame-swept counties in this section of the state indicate improvement in the fire situation. But the necessity for immediate substantial relief for the refugees is hourly becoming greater. But one fresh report of loss of life came into Alpena Sunday. Henry Hines, his wife and two children are believed to have been cremated on their farm near Cathro. Between Metz and Rogers City seven more bodies have been found, making a total of 26 lives that are known to have been lost in Presque Isle and Alpena counties since Thursday night. Rogers City, reported in imminent danger, has been saved. South Rogers is also safe. After Young Cudahy Again. Omaha, Neb. — A stranger was found in the home of Edward A. Cudahy, the millionaire packer, Tuesday night, who made his escape out of an open window on the second floor when a servant girl screamed. He was well dressed and wore a silk hat. He was in the room of Edward Cudahy. Jr., who was kidnaped seven years ago. Attempt to Slay a Priest. Chicago. —An attempt to assassinate the Rev. J. K. Fielding of Corpus Christi Roman Catholic church, one of the most widely known priests in America, was made in the church vestibule Sunday afternoon by an unidentified man. The stranger fired two shots at Father Fielding after a struggle and then made his escape. Dr. Mann Declines Bishopric. Washington.—Giving as a controlling reason that his work in Boston is still unfinished, Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann, pastor of Trinity Episcopal church of that city, has declined the position of bishop of Washington, to succeed Bishop Satterlee. Captain of Bark Drowns Self. Pensacola, Fla.—The Norwegian bark Majorca, which arrived here Sunday from Buenos Ayres, reported the suicide by drowning of her master, Capt. Ellersen, at sea. Cincinnati Capitalist Dead. Cincinnati.—Hiram Harper Peck, 59 years of age, a leading capitalist of this city, died at his home Sunday morning of paralysis. His illness was indirectly caused by the Jamaica earthquake of some months ago. Mr. Peck was in Jamaica at that time. Three Quakes in California. Salinas, Cal. —Three slight earthquake shocks were felt here Sunday. The first was felt at 12:22 a. m. and the last at 4:39 p m. No damage resulted. The shocks were also felt at Holister. ♦ J. O. Curwood Alive and Well. Winnipeg, Man.—The story being published in the press that James Oliver Curwood, the well-known magazine writer of Detroit, had been murdered by Indians in the Hudson Bay district, is untrue. Curwood is alive and well. Murderer Kills Self in Jail. Champaign, Ill.—John Cook, aged 78 years, committed suicide in the county jail Thursday by hanging himself. One month ago he murdered Mrs. Edna McLennan.

WAR IN BALKANS AVERTED TURKEY'S MOBILIZATION ORDER IS CHECK TO BULGARIA. Both Countries Formally Declare Intentions Peaceful—Quick Diplomatic Work Alone Prevents Hostilities. Constantinople.—The report that the mobilization of the Turkish troops had been ordered is unfounded. Presumably it arose through the fact that certain battalions of the Anatolian reserves attached to the Saloniki and । Adrianople army corps were convoked for the maneuvers in the native districts. and that three battalions were ordered to Constantinople from । Macedonia for police service in the capital, these being replaced by an equal number of Redifs from Smyrna. London.—The Turkish ambassador and the Bulgarian charge d'affaires Sunday emphatically denied the re- ■ port that war was imminent between the two countries. Paris.—Bulgaria has backed down, according to Naoum Pasha, the Turk- [ ish ambassador, and not only has the probability of war, which appeared imminent Saturday night been eliminated. but an understanding between Bulgaria and Turkey is in sight. The ' ambassador Sunday practically admit- . red that Saturday the two countries were on the verge of war and . plained that, while his denial of the mobilization of th? Turkish troops was , literally true, it was equally true that L mobilization had been previously or- , dered and then suspended. To France largely belongs the honor of opening the way for an understanding between Turkey and Bulgaria be- , fore it was too late. From official L sources the story is learned of how the crisis was averted at Constantinople. . On Friday night a confidential report reached the porte from Sofia that the Bulgarian cabinet was about to resign and would be succeeded by the , council for national defense. This was interpreted as a preliminary move to a declaration of war. The Turkish cabinet forthwith was summoned. It de- ' liberated throughout the night and decided not only to order the mobilization of the troops immediately in Asia Minor, but to complete the mohiliza tion in Macedonia. The French ambassador, M. Constans, was apprised of this decision at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and by urgent telegrams informed M. Pichon, the French foreign minister, of the situation. The French foreign office in turn notified M. Paleologue, 1 the French diplomatic agent at Sofia, the result being that at five o’clock, when M. Constans called upon Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier, to demand an explanation of Turkey's action, he had the pacific assurances of Bulgaria in his pocket. EXPLORER HEADED FOR POLE. First Message Is Received from the Cook Arctic Expedition New York. — The first message from Dr. Frederick E. Cook, the arctic explorer, since he started for the pole from a point north of Etah February 26, has been received in this city. It was brought here by Rudolph Franke, who accompanied Dr. Cook on the early stage of his journey and who received it from the explorer by messengers whom he sent back to the winter base after he was well on his way to the north. The message was written March 17, about three weeks after Dr. Cook had started on the last stage of his journey. It was dated “Polar Sea, North of Cape Hubbard,' 1 and said that up to that point everything had gone well, although the weather was extremely cold. He was making a straight line for the pole at that time, he said, and expected to be back at the base late in May. “I am making a straight course for the pole,” Dr. Cook wrote. “The boys are doing well and I have plenty of dogs. I hope to succeed. At any rate, I shall make a desperate effort. While I expect to get back by the end ot May. still I wish you to be ready to ■ go to Acponie, the island off North Star, where the whalers’ steamers come, by the sth of June, and if I am not back, to go home with the whalers. I think, however, we will be back.” Two Trainmen Fatally Hurt. Chillicothe, O. —Two trainmen were probably fatally hurt, and many passengers received minor injuries when a passenger train on the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad Sunday afternoon crashed through an open switch into an accommodation, which had been standing all night on a siding at Bainbridge.

Congratulations Wanted. On entering his club one evening not long ago a young Philadelphian was accosted by a friend, who exclaimed: Why, Charley, you are positively beaming! What's up?" “I'm in the greatest luck imaginable,” responded the other.

But now, old chap, congratulate me, for last night she confessed that she respected me no longer—that she loved me!"— Lippincott's. The Bride's Look. A girl about to be married worries so much she begins to look like an old married woman. In addition to worrying about her clothes and coaxing her folks to give her a new outfit, she sits up too late with her young man, and the result is an anxious, careworn look a week before the wedding that cannot be told from the look on the face of a woman who has been married a year or two. Look at the next girl you meet who is soon to be married, and you will remark that she has “aged rapidlv.”—Atchison Globe. Willing to Help Him. He had gone to the dry goods store with a bit of dress material which his wife had bidden him to match. “I am very sorry, sir.” said the salesman, “but I have nothing exactly like this. The very last remnant was sold this morning.” “But I must have it!” exclaimed the husband. “Otherwise, how can I face my wife?” “If you will permit me. sir.” said the salesman. “I would venture to suggest that you invite a friend home to dinner with you.” NOT A MIRACLE. Just Plain Cause and Effect. There are some quite remarkable things happening every day, which seem almost miraculous. Some persons would not believe that a man could suffer from coff^: .drinking so severely as to cause spells unconsciousness. And to find complete relief in changing from coffee to Postum is well worth recording. “I used to be a great coffee drinker, so much so that iX was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. The spells caught me sometimes two or three times a day. “My friends, and even the doctor, told me it was drinking coffee that caused the trouble. I would not believe it. and still drank coffee until I could net leave my roon . “Then my doctor, who drinks Postum himself, persuaded me to stop coffee and try Postum. After much hesitation I concluded to try it. That was eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months. “I feel better, sleep better and am better every way. I now drink nothing but Postum and touch no coffee, and as I am seventy years of age all ' my friends think the improvement , quite remarkable." “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
