CHURCH SPLIT ON LANGUAGE.
French Members of Catholic Congre-
CATION Withdraw.

Lafayette, Ind, April 27.-Ill feel
ing engendered by the fact that the
rector was not a Frenchman and
could not preach to them in their nat
i've tongue the 100 French members
of the congregation of the Catholic
Church at Fowler have withdrawn
from the church and today it was an
nounced that the sum of $4,000 had
been pledged for the erection OF a
French Catholic church and parson-
age at Fowler.
The French, German and Irish
Catholics of Fowler united some time
ago and built church costing $15,-
900. While there was no open Bit
terness between the two people, the
fact that the pastor is German and
not able to understand the French
language naturally aroused feeling
of displeasure among the French.

New Train Order.

Passenger trainmen of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad have. been ordered
hereafter to call out the names at
each station at which trains stop, and
in addition TO call the length of time
each train will stop. so that passen-
gers will know how long they have to
leave the train or board it. 1t is said
that on the local trains passengers
too frequently take longer time
than they should to leave the train
and the call will be made in an effort
to hurry them

How Papers View Judge WhaIlon.

tits said that Judge Whallon is
himself addicted to the use of cigar
cites If he is, he was not competent
to construe the statute against Gig
arettes. A man with cigarette-mdd-
died mind should never attempt to
tell anybody else what the Law is up
on any subject.-Lafayette Daily
Journal
Judge Whallon of the indianapolis
police court, has decided that the an
ti-cigarette law does not apply to
smokers and affects the dealers only
In this attitude Judge Whallon diff
ers radically from some of the best
legal minds il, Indiana, and it would
at least be wise for the Johnnies to
await the decision of the supreme
court before obtruding again their of
fense upon the public.-Fort Wayne

An Eggstraordinary Hen.

In the poultry yard of Mrs. Malin-
da Starr, just north OF town, is an am
bilious hen that seeks to vary the mo-
notony of her daily egg laying, and
excite the envy of her hen sisters
and no doubt the admiration of the
other members of her circle of soci-
ETY., by occasionally contributing an
egg of new and original design.
The freak eggs are about the size of
a goose egg. Upon breaking them,
in addition to the ordinary white and
yolk, there is also inside another egg,
shell and all, of the ordinary size.
This hen certainly deserves a pre-
mium.-Walkerton Independent.

The year 1905 will mark the reap
pearance of the seventeen year To-
Gusts. This is the prediction at least.
The seventeen year locust is an insect
that makes its appearance every sew
enteen years. They were here in 1884
again in 1871 and in 1888 and are
looked for again this season. The To-
Gust is a large insect and when a
number of them are lodged among
the leaves of tree they send forth a
chorus of chirps that fill the air with
a deafening noise. The locusts are
not particularly injurious to vegeta-
ton nor are they as poisonous as
some have supposed. Their advent
will be looked for with interest

A Letter From Home.

Prof Osler has promulgated con-
viction that men who have reached
the age of sixty years have passed
their age of usefulness to the world,
and in order to prevent them from
being a hindrance to progress it
would be better to chloroform them
and put them quietly and peacefully
out of the way. According to the
Pittsburgh Post when this idea is put
in practice the following will be fair
sample of the eagerly looked for let
ter from home:
Dear Jim: The crops is doing we'll,
The calf is big enough to sell:
I've traded off the brindle COW
And we amt got but one just now.
The horses all is fat and sleek
Except that Bob is rather weak.
But still that isn't nothing queer,
We've had him nigh on twenty year.
/ think I'll put the bottom field
In corn and oats; it oughter yield
A heavy crop. The land is rich
And just the thing for oats and sich.
There is no news to speak of Jim.
Miss Susie Jones is just as trim
AS when you saw her in the fall.
The folks are well. / guess that's ali
But stop, l most forgot bout dad;
I 'xpect the news will make you sad.
You know that dad was getting old,
Just sixty years had DER him rolled,
And so, / much regret to say,
We chloroformed poor dad today.
And that's bout all the news until
I write again. Your brother, Rill.

BAKER UP FOR CONGRESS.
Indiana Republicans Discuss Cam.
paign of Cigarette Law Promoter.

Goshen, Ind, April 29-The an
nouncement that Ananias Baker, the
Rochester representative who made
Indiana's cigarette law famous, would
seek the republican nomination for
congress in this district was not en-
tirely unexpected. Mr.. Baker feels
that if no other opposition to Cong
ressman Brick appears there should
be no contest, but he is of the opin-
ion that Senator Parks of Plymouth
and Lemuel w. Royse of Warsaw,
might be induced to help make the
fight interesting.

WALNUT COMMENCEMENT.
The Annual Event Held at Argos
Friday Night.

| The annual commencement of the
Walnut township and Argos public
schools was held Friday evening, Ap-
ril 2S, at the opera house at Argos.
There were twenty-four graduates.
The stage was nicely decorated with
the class colors and above the stage
hung the class motto, Without a
Cross no Crown" The Argos or
chestra furnished the music The
speaker of the evening, Rev. Geo z.
Hicks of the Christian church of La
porte, choose for his subject "The
Choice of a Successful Life Busi-
ness" In his lecture of over an hour
he brought out some fundamental
principles which go to make the Sue
cessful life. He dwelt upon the fact
that this is practicle world and
that man must live in practical way.
He touched upon superstition aud
luck showing that where one realized
anything by luck thousand failed;
there is no other way to succeed
than by hard application. The will of
man is the most powerful thing in
this world except the will of God.
The self-made menof the world were
superior to their environment and
rose by their indomitable will power.
Man can become what he wills If he
possesses the energy. He illustrated
by Chas. Dickens, Daniel Webster,
etc. He said some men die because
they do not have enough will power
to live. All men are adapted to a
certain business in life We must dis
cover that and then reinforce the nat
ural adaptability by preparation for
the work BE ignorant about many
things, know something about every
thing but know everything about
some one thing He emphasized in
dustry and application. Men must
not be out of their elements. In ev-
cry age there is some one thing that
dominates, and every mans life that
has been successful must be tuned to
that age In Caesars time it was
physical power, In Demosthenes'
time oratory, in Lincoln's time
whether the slave shall be free or not.
This is an age of practical achieve
ments and he who would succeed
must have his life zen rapport" with
practicality.

 Profitable Tomatoes
 A farmer near IIoltville planted few tomatoes early last spring and last week sold to c. J. Schenck, the Holtville grocer, nine dollars worth of tomatoes from these vines in one day. The ex- perience of our truck gardeners this season proves that all kinds of the tenderest vegetables can be grown here and will mature earlier than elsewhere in the state, thus insuring q good mar ket at high prices During the early part of the season tomatoes bring fifteen cents per pound in Los Angeles. Inn perial Valley will produce them prac- tically the year round. That will beat hogs and alfalfa, even.

This with the gift of $500 from the Church Extension Society of the Methodist Church together with what will be raised from other sources will give Imperial 5000 Church building competed and furnished-free of all encumbrances.
 A fine audience was out Friday night to hear Dr.. Pitner lecture. For more than an hour and a-haft he held the interest of his hearers while he talked on "Boots and Saddles". The speakers humor and wit frequently convulsed the audience with laughter. Some of his descriptions were masterful. Who, that heard it, can ever forget his word picture of the cavalry charge. Dr..
