It costs a great deal of money to publish such a paper as the Tribune, but
the majority of our patrons treat us as though they think there is no
expense attached to its publication at all. To those we say try it awhile
and you will think the subscription price ought to be five dollars a year
and payable strictly in advance.
If our Lady readers wish to keep boquet fresh, let them drop a tablespoon of
powdered charcoal into the water intended for the flower stalks and they
will keep their freshness and perfume for several days, and look and smell
the same as those just gathered. The charcoal settles at the bottom of the
vase and the water remains clear.
Among the pension bills vetoed by the President last week, was one for John
Taylor. A wag at our elbow says that it is our John, who is seeking a
pension on account of that boil on his wrist. Another says, however that it
is John Taylor of Jackson Center, who is meant. That gentlemen denies the
allegation, and now the question arises, "How many John Taylors are there
anyway?"
The case of the heirs of Samuel Cutler's estate vs. Wm. Felker, which was to
be tried in the Porter County Circuit Court last Monday, was postponed until
next term of court. The groundwork of this suit is that Samuel Cutler held
a mortgage of $1,100 on Felker's farm. Before his death Cutler went to Salt
Creek, and Felker claims to have paid the mortgage and holds a receipt
releasing him from all indebtedness from Cutler. The mortgage was not
cancelled, through neglect or otherwise, hence the suit.
Last Saturday during a heavy fog, the Lake Shore limited express, due at
this place at 8:30, ran into the rear end of a freight train just the other
side of Elkhart. Thomas Stephenson, the engineer, on the instant, clung to
his post, put on air brakes, only leaping from his engine as it was being
crushed to pieces. The locomotive and mail car were totally wrecked, the
rest of the train escaping injury. Mr. Stephenson declined a purse of $200
tendered by the passengers, who adopted resolutions expressing their
appreciation of his heroic, self sacrificing devotion to duty, which
doubtless saved their lives, and recommending him to the highest recognition
by his employers. The train was delayed five hours.
