! "A South Bend young lady walked
from South Bend to Mishawaka, four
miles, few days ago, on wager of
croquet set. She won by making
the distance two minutes inside Of an
hour. She now ranks next to the
standpipe, as one of the wonders of
South Bend.
The walking fever has reached
South Bend \ number Of our young
men are talking up match to take
place on the Fair grounds.
There are tramps enough now. The
South Bend boys had better turn
their attention to something useful
shoveling dirt, saving wood, or any
other light work.
But little business doing in court
this term. No grand jury in session.
The criminal and misdemeanor cases
carried over to next term The pet
it jury was dismissed last week. No
important litigated cases will be tried.
The Judge and Sheriff are both wal
lowing in the miry pool OF Democrat
ic politics.
Pat. OBrien, the brakeman who
was so badly injured by being run
over by the cars, one week ago last
night died at Fort Wayne on Friday
last. One leg was emputated before
he was taken from this city. 1t was
hoped the other might be saved; but
while the surgeons were removing
piece of bone fro N it he expired, the
shock to his system being too great.
&C. H. Reeve has few words in
this paper directed particularly to
the voters of this Senatorial district.
He is of the opinion. which generally
prevails, that when man is sought
after, by the people. to represent
them in a Legislative body, he ought
not to refuse, if he has brains and
honesty enough to fill the position.
Read what he says. No comment is
necessary.
Last Thursday when the Sir
Knights were on parade. in full dress
for the occasion, they halted on La
Porte street long enough to be pho
tographed with Hoham's Centennial
Block, by our competent artist, Mr..
futile. We have seen a copy of the
picture, which is very fine, consider
ing the number of objects represent
ed. The pictures were taken, we be-
lieve, for Mr.. Hoham, who will prob
ably bring one around to the office,
when it is finished and nicely framed.
On the first day of June, next

Sunday-makjng the trip in three and
half days. The train will pass
through this city, over the P. f. w.

probably before shutdown. The train
will make the trip from New York to
Chicago in 20 hours. Locomotives

The big show last Friday
brought great many enterprising
people to Plymouth Some lost
money at three card monte-some
drank poor whiskey and got licked,
and we heard thot some had their
fortunes told by a woman. No
spectators wete allowed to witness
the operation. We are told that the
woman screamed and drew assis-
tance from the crowd. She made
damaging revelations against the
man who was having his fortune
told, and to get out of bad scrape,
he was compelled to pay a round
sum to stop the woman's mouth. 1t
is said she travels with the show and
plays her game wherever they go.
Our worthy neighbor and genial
friend Plat Mcdonald gracefully ac-
cedes to the solicitation OF friends
and consents to become a candidate
for the Senate, subject to the decis-
/ ion of the Dem ocratic district conven-
+ ton. Just now we are decidedly in
favor of nominating Plat, and a NOM
ination is pretty near as good as an
/ election; but after while We may
undertake to explain some dark
transactions of mis- while acting as a
member of our City Council; and
then it may come handy to tell why
he weighs so much more than some
:iIcu %ho are twice his age. His path
may not be strewed with thOrnless
flowers even in Democratic district
Perhaps we had better not harrow up
his soul just now about what may
happen. Sufficient for the day." &c.
