Duly IiiiI)mmI For War. Of courae, everybody in Polk county knowi Wayne Williiima, knowa Lim to be a ureal biir whole eouled, Jolly fnllow Well. Wayne waa elected city murBlial the other day by a fairly reapectable maturity, and a party of hie friends gathered In Dr. Hutlor'a office Tueeday uiorning to present him with a nt eiu bloui of hie office. Harry Ballingei made a neat presentation speech. Hi aid in substance: Inasmuch as Inde- Dendence 1h in danger of Invasion from the warlike Indian tribes that inhabit the BileU and Grand Ronde reservations daring the season of the year when the aromatic hop vines yield there rich harvest, it is proier that our chief of police should be fittinifly armed so as to repid any sudden erruption on the part of the savnge foe. We all know that our new marshal's fame for courage has gone abroad over the hind, and that his name is uiwd as a lullaby by the Indian mother to huso her fretful papoone into peaceful repose. Tins fume is not un diMwrved for on sundry and divers occk ions: he has been known to ttickle single handed three burly Indian bucks, who had imbibed too freely of fire-water and incarcerate theui iiiHide the gloomy walla of the city calaboose, and leave them there to the tender mercy of the city recorder. But there are times when these untutored savages threaten to fUllllft down on our devoted city like the "Assyrian wolf upon the fold," and at aiirh times the simple weapoua provided i nature will hardly suffice to repel the yelling and drunken horde. Now, out nfnwict for a descent and respeciaoie maintenance of the peace and dignity of this city, we herewith present the marshal-elect with this splendid weapon, trusting that he will use it judiciously ami onlv in times of extremest danger, that is at such times when the city is threatened with an attack from the horde of Indians who congregate here during the hop-picking season. Mr. Bullinger herewith presented to Mr. Wllllanifl a huee improvised blunderbus gotten up in imitation of the old flint lock miiBket. The boys an enjoyea me joke and Wayne admitted the "beer" was ou him. One Gives Belief. Tt ia an aav to be mistaken about indigestion, and think there is some other trouble.

It has been recently re-or ganized and Its membership Is rapidly Increasing. Its members are composed of the wide-awake young and middle- aged men of the city, men who lieliuve conservative amusements and healthy exercise are essential elements in mak ing lifo worth living. The I. A. A. C are arranging to favor the people of In dependence with a series of entertain ments during the winter months, and while it would be impolitic to tax the people unduly In these close times and unwise to surfeit them with a plethora of amusements, but s certain degree of vivacity is MtM'iitiul to the moral 'health of society. It Is perfectly natural for men and women to seek relaxation horn the cares of business and household duties, and it is proper they should bs afforded amusements that have an ele vating and moral tendency. It is the purpose of the atheletic club to furnish healthful amusements only this and nothing more. 8. of V. Klei tion of Ofllccs. At a regular meeting of E. D.
