Rudyard Kipling makes his laet ap-
pearance as teller of Jungle Stories
in The Cosmopolitan for October.
"Mowgli Leaves the Jungle Forever"
and the curtain is drawn over one of
the most charming cOnceits in literature.
In the same number in which Mawgli
makes his final adieux, appears for the
first time before an American audience,
the now famed Richard LIE Caffeine
in plea for religion under the title of
1.-The Greatness of Man" A very i'm
pOrtant paper on "The State Univer-
stiles" it is contributed to this number
by Professor Ely. And among the
Story-tellers are Hopkins Smith and
Royesen. No more beautiful works
has ever appeared in any magazine
than the marvellous illustrations Cap
riety used as frontispiece and accom-
paning the prose poem by Mrs. Car
dOZOn. Drake who is said to be Kip
llng'S favorite artist and for his Jingle
Stories Beare, Osterlin, Den
man, and Kemble, are among those
who contribute wealth of illustrations
to this number. The Cosmopolitan
announces that it will begin the pub
licati on in January of The Agrlcult-

the equal of The Cosmopolitan, but

Look out for a smooth swindler who
is selling set of bread, cake and par.
ing knives as well as the people. The
knives are sold at - per set, and are
delivered at once and the money col
lected. AS an inducement to the people
to buy the knives at double price, the
swindler promises to give each pur-
chaser a rocking chair, a side-saddle, a
clock, washing machine, a cider mill,
"a bull pup or a billy goat. These
articles are to be sent by express, but
they never come Valparaiso Messen-
ger.
While it is good policy to present
such features to our citizens to guard
them against these robbers, yet it is not
essential in this case. Our merchants
have so judiciously advertised these
knives In the INDEPNEDENT that the
entire community is thoroughly
equipped before the swindler arrives.

That Wrestling Match.

a few days ago the INDEPENDENT
published an article regarding the
wrestling match between G. Il. Granger,
Of South Bend, and man by the name
Of l.. Duncan, of LemOnt. Ill. 1t seems
by the South Bend Times, of yesterday,
that Granger is trying to back down,
claiming as his excuse that Duncan is
overweight. The Times also furnishes
this letter as letter from Duncan: Il
will wrestle this man Granger catch-as-
catch-can, best two out of three falls. /
to win two falls to win, and if he wins
one fall he TO be declared the winner.
will also barr the strangling hold, and
ne may use every hold he can. In sup
port of this challenge as proof of good
faith | will ask you to hold my check
for ten days longer, as the above means
for 500; If it is not accepted by Mr..
Granger inside of ten days, then l will
leave my sorfeit up for another week,
open to wrestle any man i'm your state
There has been considerable talk in
our city regarding the ability of some
of our sporting men as wrestlers. Now
here is an opportunity for those who
desire to win glory and fame outside of
neat 800, to assert themselves. This
man Duncan means just what he says
and the opportunity to take the place of
this man Granger, and have the match
take place in Plymouth has presented
itself.

Fourth of July oratory has latterly
been largely deficient. 1t has the rath-
er succumed to the enthusiastic elo-
quence of patriotic thought at the great
annual reunions and gatherings of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
inspiration of such occasions as that of
the u. AR. at Louisville alone could
incite such powerful eloquence a. the
thrilling utterance of Mr. Watterson.
The sentiment of patriotism of course
is the foundation of the observance of
Independence day. But latterly the etfer-
vescence of popular feeling on this occa-
sion is shown more in the firing of crack
ers and tOrpedoes, in picnics and jubila-
ton and the whole day pitched in key
of rollicking excitement. On the con-
trary the great reunions of the battle
SCARED veterans of the last war are
attended with sacred solemnity of
feeling which scars away into hifalutin
and bragadociO. On the contrary it
is the utterance of the feeling of those
who participated in the fearful and
bloody contests. 1t is the recounting
with reverence of the deeds of valor
and personal sacrifice, of devotion to
principle, in words OF special and in
dividual remembrance to the auditors.
Ii is the scraping away of the moss
from the maidstone of every compatriot.
1t is refreshing the memories of these
heroes in the hearts of those who bore
with them the brunt of battle and stood
should to shoulder with them whe n
they fell. 1t is the harmonizing with
opponents on the field of conflict and
the perpetuation of love of the I'm
ion in the hearts of the united people.
United forever. What could be great
or inspiration of true eloquence?

His Farewell Sermon.
From Saturdays Daily.


Rev. Mr.. Narcotic, who has served
the Presbyterian Church in this place
as pastor for the past five months, will
preach his final sermon tomorrow night.
He will leave here Monday for short
vacation at his home in Wisconsin
prior to entering upon his last year of
study at Mccormick Seminary, Chicago.
During his stay with the church Mr..
Narcotic has made many friends and
has proven valuable church worker.
Through his efforts the church debt has
been paid off, so that it has no Obliga-
ton outstanding. Last Sunday morn
ing thirteen new members were received
into the church, and the members are
much encouraged with the past sum-
mers work, and very hopeful of the
future. At the prayer meeting held
with the present pastor last Thursday
night the room was filled with earnest
friends, who expressed both pleasure at
the fruits ct his labor with them and
sadness at his departure. A resolution
covering their feelings and regard for
him was adopted and ordered spread
upon the church register.
At a meeting held in the church last
Monday night call was extended to
Rev. Mr.. Charlton, of Wisconsin, as
pastor of the church. This gentleman
is highly spoken of and Is recommended
by Mr.. Narcotic. Rev. Mr.. Johnson,
pastor of the First church at South
Bend, came here to act as moderator of
the meeting according to the method
of the church when call is extended
for suppl y, and preached very fine
sermon. The doctor said that he had
an especial interest in the church at
Plymouth, as it was in the old church
here that he came, 20 years ago, at the
session of the Presbytery, and was ex-
amined and given license to preach

BEWAREOF THE RUSSIAN THISTLE

The Weed Seems Bound to Get a Foothold
i'm This Country. College Notes.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Sept. %.
The Russian thistle is formidable
weed which has completely overrun
large sections of Dakota and other parts
OF the west. 1t is strong grower, from
two to four feet high, forming round
top sometimes two feet in diameter. A
few specimens were found in this state
last year, principally on the western
shore, and the college experiment sta
ton published bulletin giving a de-
scription of the weed and warning the
people OF the state of its appearance
and of the necessity of destroying every
specimen found. 1t seems destined,
however, to get foothold in Michigan
as it has been found in a number of
places in different parts of the state.
Several specimens were received at the
college yesterday by the botanical de-
partment, one OF which had spread of
five feet in diameter. These grew at
Port Huron, near the railroad track ap-
preaching the grain elevator, and doubt
less grew from seed brought there in
western grown grain. Farmers of this
state should keep close watch for this
pest and destroy every one that ap-
pears.
A special institute bulletin is Just
out, the first Of its kind in Michigan.
1t gives reasonably complete account
of the several farmers's institute held
in the state last winter, with the papers
and addresses given by the lecturers
from the college and others and the
discussions thereon. 1t is published
for the purpose of making a permanent
record of the many valuable hints and
suggestions obtained at these meetings
and which are otherwise lost to all but
the few who hear them. 1t forms a
volume of $50 pages and will be dis
tributed to farmers interested as long
as the edition lasts.-State Republican.

DEATH ON THE TRACK
BERT YOUNG. OF NORTH LIBERTY,
THE VICTIM.
Attempts to Leave a Fast Moving Freight
and Forfeited His Life in Consequence.
From Mondays Daily.


About 2:30 o'clock the Waterman
at North Liberty was attracted to a
lonely spot on the |. l. l. railroad by the
peculiar actions of his dog, and on fol.
lowing him was surprised to find a
young man lying beside the track ap-
parently asleep, but upon examination
bad scalp wound was found and the
Waterman was not long in making up
his mind that the man was the victim
OF an accident and in a short time
traced it down. The young man proved
to be Bert Young, the Is year old son
of Mrs. Coddle, who runs a boarding
house at that place. He had been over
to Bremen attending the fair, came
down on the B. & o., and on arriving at
the junction found that there was no
passenger train by which he could get
home without considerable delay. He
determined to take freight which he
did without the knowledge of the train
crew, and when they passed through
North Liberty, little realizing that they
were running at the rate of forty miles
per hour, he jumped with the above sad
result. He fingered in an unconscious
condition until Saturday afternoon,
when death released him from pain.
The funeral took place at North Lib
erty at o'clock this afternoon with
burial at the same place.

And YOU snail hear
OF the things | saw both common and rare.
First the ride tliro' dust and heat
To fveryiew Park. on North Collins street.
The dust blew in clouds
All over the crowds.
Who were plodding along with weary feet.
We paid our fees at the entrance gate
Old bon was impatient and would not wait.
Then i'll we drove
Through the Ieafy grove
And joined the crowd. which was very great
In little sheds well Uttered with straw
Some of the blue ribboned stock We saw
Cows mild and gentle.
And sheep ornamental.
And dear little calves without biemi>h or flaw.
WndmilIS We're merrily whirling round
The wind in their sails made plea ,;int sound.
While on the race track
Was heard the sharp clack
OF horse hoofs which seemed scarcely touching
the ground
In the Pavilion were booths well attended.
Where beauty.and skill We're artistically blended
There merchant and baker
And fancy work maker.
With perfect good nature each other contended.
The marvellous embroideries and art work dis
played.
Are conceded to be of the very best grade
Such hand painted china
One could lot wish finer.
All tinted in colorS of every shade
Looking cool in their leaves fresh and green.
While lunches OF roses.
And other sweet posieS.
Made bower fragrant enough for IA queen.
Tables were groahng with cakes and pies.
Each contributor anxious to win the prize
The judge in trice.
Eats of each good slice.
And scarcely can tell where the true merit lies
Everything con the groundsl was confusion and
noise,
FakirS were buSiIy selling their toys.
Horse jockeys We're yelling.
The wild tumult swelling.
Making enjoyment for many small boys.
Well. we stayed at the fair till the day was neal
ended.
Then went To our carriage and our hOmeward
way wendell
by these lines YOU may guess
The fair was IA success.
And surely it was very largely attended.

BOURBON, Oct. |.

One day few weeks past, after a
freight train had pulled through our
town, two well known faces appeared
on our streets, Hiram Campbell and
Billy McCune. Campbell would find
his meals miscellaneous, but McCune
thinking 1t handler, went to Mrs. Bur
gers boarding house TO stay, and with
some plausible story secured his board
there fer about three weeks without
paying a cent. When night would
come they would join forces and hud-
die together in the alley at the rear of
{. W. Shakes store. They left together
one night last week, but McCune failed
to remember that he owed Mrs. Burger
several dollars for his board. While
here Campbell was arrested twice for
While McCune was not locked up, he
was drunk enough that he deserved it.
Campbell is well known character all
over the country, and has been handled
without care or consequences by the
citizens of this place two different
times, and he is now registered for his
third initiation if he should turn up
again, while under the circumstances
which McCune left here while in bust
ness and the hobo trip he has just made
makes it very certain that he VIII be
well entertained upon his next visit.
