Subscribers in arrears for the TRIBUNE are requested to come and settle

and wants it.
Mr. Ed Quick, we are pained to learn, is very ill with pleurisy. He has
been ailing for some days past, and on Tuesday was unable to come down
to his store. He is confined to his bed and attended by a physician.
We hope he may speedily recover.
Vidette - C. A. Carlson, the insane pauper sent from Westchester
township to the county house became so violent that it was yesterday
found necessary to move him to jail. He will be taken to Indianapolis
for treatment.
The dance given in Maroney's Hall last Saturday by Lewis Miller, was
fairly well attended. The receipts however, did not justify the
raffling the buggy, and Mr. Miller gave to those who purchased tickets,
50 cts. each instead. All, as far as we have learned, were satisfied
with the arrangement, and everything passed off smoothly.
The circulation of THE TRIBUNE of Oct. 15th, was 3,900 copies. These
were scattered through every state and territory in the Union.
Arrangements are now being made to issue 50,000 copies of one issue in
November. This will be a rare chance for advertisers who do a large
foreign business. Besides benefiting THE TRIBUNE, Chesterton will
receive a large share of the benefits as the beauties and merits of the
town will be fully told. Perhaps some man of capital may be induced to
come here and locate. THE TRIBUNE asks and expects the hearty
cooperation of the business men of the town in the enterprise.
On last Saturday and Sunday was held the first quarterly meeting for
this year at the M. E. church, Elder Beck of South Bend, presiding.
Quarterly Conference was held at three o'clock, when certain business
was then transacted that could not be done on Saturday. Elder Beck
preached Saturday evening to large congregations. In the absence of
Rev. Lambert (as he was called away to preach the funeral sermon of old
Mr. Jacob Carter, of Jackson township) Elder Beck conducted services
alone. The Elder is a sociable gentleman, and an eloquent preacher, as
all can testify who have heard his sermons. For the choir, all speak in
praise of it.
We don't mind taking country produce occasionally in payment for
subscriptions, but we do object to having our subscribers send in 7 to
10 year old roosters, with a note attached to credit them with a pair of
spring chickens. We got a sample of this kind the other day, and after
the wife had boiled it three days, it had the audacity actually to flop
out of the pot and crow. There has got to be some line drawn somewhere.
We don't mind using considerable firewood in cooking them, or the
exertion in carving, although this is weakening us somewhat
considerably, but when it comes to crowing, it is like the last straw on
the proverbial camels back.

Willie Seastrom, six years of age, son of John Seastrom. Esq., died
Thursday, of last week, of membranous croup. Until Mr. Seastrom moved,
two or three weeks ago, to his farm, his children attended the
Chesterton school. Willie was a good industrious pupil, loved by all.
The funeral was Friday, at the Swedish Lutheran Church, the school
children attending in body. As by delay in the arrival of the
procession, the school children had been waiting at the church more than
an hour, the usual order was changed by the kindness of Rev. Challman,
and the remains were viewed by the children and others, before the
sermon the children being permitted to depart, the casket was buried by
floral tributes of the pupils - autumnal flowers, fit and beautiful
emblems of innocence and death. The sight of the children paying their
last respect to their little friend was very impressing and affecting.
The burial as at the protestant cemetery.
THE BISHOP'S VISIT
Confirming a Large Class at St. Mary's Catholic Church.
Sunday was a very gala day for the members of St. Mary's church, for
occasion being the presence of their Rt. Rev. Bishop Dwenger, who
arrived the evening previous for the purpose of administering the
sacrament of confirmation. In the morning at 8 o'clock the bishop
celebrated mass, and administered Holy Communion to about 130, all
candidates for confirmation. At 10 o'clock his holiness was escorted in
solemn session from the pastoral residence to the church, by the members
of the class, when Rev. Jno. Guendling, superintendent of St. Joseph's
orphan asylum, LaFayette, celebrated high mass. Immediately after the
gospel the bishop preached a most eloquent sermon in English, on the
truth and activity of the Catholic church which was followed by another
sermon in German, upon the same subject, immediately before
administrating confirmation.
The class confirmed consisted of about 80 children, boys and girls, and
27 adults. The bishop was assisted by Rev. Fathers Bleckman, Becks and
Guendling. The choir under the direction of Miss Anna Moran, rendered
some exceedingly fine music. The new organ, which is a first-class and
powerful instrument was handled by her like an adept, and gave perfect
satisfaction to all.
In the afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Father Guendling celebrated solemn
vespers and rosary service, at which the choir sang their new vespers.
The services closed with benediction and a solemn Te Deum - Dispatch
TRAGEDY IN A COURT ROOM.
A Negro Fatally Shot by a Young German Lad Whose Sister He Ruined.
Indiananoplis, Ind., Oct. 20. - Saturday afternoon Helen Huendling, a
young German domestic, was enticed into a room by Harriston Tasker,
colored, and, at the point of a pistol, criminally assaulted. Upon
releasing herself, she jumped through the window, receiving serious
injuries.
Tasker was arrested and arranged for his crime this morning. As he was
being led out of the court-room to jail, a young German lad entered with
a pistol in his right hand. "My mother is dead," he exclaimed, "and
this nigger has ruined my sister," at the same time blazing away at the
prisoner. Terror and confusion ensued, a number of the women fainting.
The negro was borne away to the hospital, the blood flowing from a fatal
wound in his abdomen. Young Huendling was imprisoned.

We would like to offer a suggestion to our citizens if it would not be
too far out of the way, and as we look at the subject right, it will be
a very good suggestion. Go to work and get better walks in the town and
let every merchant have a street light in front of his store. As it is
now there are but few walks and what few there are need repairing. A
town the size of this ought to boast of better crossings and walks for
pedestrians.
