Will Pay the Bills. Several months ago the town trustees concluded that they would rm' allow the I^torsburg electric light, power and water works company the full amount of their monthly bills for llghtiug the city. The contract ol the company with the city calls for twenty-five arc lights at an annual price of $90 per light. These bills were paid promptly enough until the luhda of the town became^Ojsy, when the board began cutting the bills of $187.50 per month to $82/13 per month, claiming that that was all that they could pay with a fifteen ceut levy, the contract having been made when the levy was thirty ceuts on the hundred dollars. Suit was brought by the compauy for the tnouey due at the present term of court and on last Friday the case came up for hearing before Judge O'NeaS^^f'—Washington, who had been appointed to try the case, who found for the plaintiff company for the amount asked with iuterest. The costs iu the case which 'will amount to about $75 will have to ho borne by the tax-payers. It is now a settled fact that the town will have light and that the company will receive pay for the same. All t ree.

That young man is to bo congratulated who has an aim in life. It matters not whether the aim be wealth, fame or proficiency as a mechanic, ho should be encouraged. Hundreds of young men who do not make a success of life are simply driftiug without an aim, without ambition. The boy who determines on a certain course and keeps everlastingly at one thing, constantly growing more familiar with all that relates to it, seldom makes a failure of his life. The state board of health has arranged to supply at cost to county boards of health that desire them, culture tubes for use in case of diphtheria. They are to be placed in drug stores whore physiciaus can get them at any time, so as to take a portion of the spittle from suspected cases of diphtheria and make a microscopical examination. Arrangement has been made with Purdue university for a chemical analysis of the water and food products free of cost. Uncle David Mason, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of Pike county, died Sunday night at his home southeast of this city at the venerable age of S3 years. M r. Mason was one of the pioueers of Monroe township and has beeu closely identified with the development of that country. He was a member of the Winslow Masouic Lodgo and was bnried by that fraternity yesterday afternoon. Mauy members of the Oakland City lodge assisting,—Oaklaud City Journal. George L. West, who was found guilty of the erabezzleihent of funds belonging to the Peoples' loan association and sentenced to the penitentiary for three years, was taken there Monday by Sherifi Kin man. West is well known in Pike county, having been a leader in the republican party, ant] has served as deputy auditor, deputy treasurer aud deputy assessor and at onetime made the race for recorder. During the last legislature he served as roll clerk. For sometime past he has been engaged in the insurance business in Petersburg. It is understood that his case will be appealed to the supreme court. Many of the couuty superintendents since the teachers examinations for i 18S5, have stated that many of the applicants were deficient in current events and current literature all owiug to the fact that they do not read the newspapers. In this enlightened age, with a newspaper at almost every cross road tor an applicant to teach the rising'generalioii to be guilty of the neglect to keep abreast of the day by not reading a newspaper is a disgrace. Teachers sMuld not only subscribe for their home paper but also take au educational journal and read both carefully which will make | tfiem stronger in their profession as ’ instructors, a$ well as make them i stronger intellectually.—Ex.

Board of Health lie port ••Pike Count*. Aixas&s, Is»., Dee. 17, ISifc. Tlie sanitary condition of Pike county for the year ended has been-excellent. We bare been spared the scourge of an epidemic of | any character. Diphtheria, scarlatina and measles have been entirely" abeent or have been so mild that no. report of any were wade. Typhoid fever has prevailed ta a limited extent, mostly in the rural districts. Those cases reported all being sporadic. Our poor bouse, located about four miles south of Petersburg, is very satisfactorily managed. The superintendent seems to spare no pains or work to make the sanitary conditions as good as it is possible In such an Institution, and the results of dUSigent care there has been very little sickness. The buildings are very Inappropriate, poorly constructed and badly ventilated; and In the new bnlldlng recently built, the rooms are entirely too small. Brick walks are badly needly and should at once be constructed. A bath room is also very badly needed. 1 must confess, as “an honest confession Is good for the soul," that the board of health has not visited each and every school house in the county, but so far. as m^' knowledge there has been no complaint as to bad sanitation. The school houses? in the. rural districts throughout the county are generally frame structures of modern*design; those ot the towns are usually of brick and being in fair condition. Our jail, a new building recently erected, is a most excellent structure, save one of the vaults that is not kept flushed with water continuously and occasionally fills, Is kept in first class sanitary condition, clean and well warm .1. supplied with water from resktwriiyyeil lighted, completely arranged, and wnenYvfsited bytl Jury on theii Journey or ;uspi *t ion was reported flrstclass. Our Orphans’ Home, though last but not least, managed by Mrs. liras bears, and erected by a donation of Mrs. Thurnt n hence kuown as “Thornton Orphans’ Home;” is a 'good building in flrstcla«u condition; save a “sink” in the wash room and an Inner stairway to tbe furnace room, (which arc needed). It is equipped with ait all n .■ ary conveniences. At present there are eighteen inmates, fifteen of whom attend school.

As to statistics, I am sure that I am unable to ret eorreet reports from all, yet 1 tiiiuk it from no lack of effort an my part. While 1 make this concession. I am convinced that Pike county is no worse off in this than many others, and how. that the oflice will hereafter be kept in the court house, do hope and trust that our commissioners will compensate my successor amply so that he may be able to make our board oi health what it should be.
