Fine assortment of dress goods, in all fabrics and shades, with trimmings to match, at the Columbus, at marvelously low prices for Leopold is bound to do the business.

We publish a poem this week which appears in the Christmas number of the Century # from the Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley. It is of local interest as it is written about our own town of Rensselaer, and is entitled “Little Cousin Jasper.” Our readers will wish to preserve it in their scrap books. Extra copies of this week’s issue can be had at the Pilot office. You'd scarce expect one of my age in merchandizing to engage, and hope to get a paying trade, without the local paper’s aid. And yet I did that very thing, I opened up a store last spring—this month the sheriff took my |Stock ■ and sold it from the auction block. Don’t view me with scornful eye, but simply say as I pass by, there goes a man who seems to think he has no use for printer’s ink. There is a truth as broad as earth, and business men should know its worth; ’tis simply this: The public buys its goods from those who advertise.

We hare made it a role. which will be strictly adhered to in the future, to charge for the insertion of resolutions of condolence upon the* death of members of lodges or other societies. Such matter is of no interest to the general public and it is not right to ask a newspaper to give valuable space away which will add nothing to the popularity of the paper. The charge will only be one dollar.

Bro. McEwen has been receiving many complimentary notices in regard to his candidacy for the post office from his exchanges lately and takes great delight in republishing the same.. But one from Bro. Carr, of the Oxford Tribune, last week, he has not yet republished. The article says the editor knows of no one more deserving of the post office than Bro. McEwen, as he has told more d—m Mes for his party than any Democrat he knows of.

Landy McGee was out hunting with two Chicago sportsmen last Thurday. A covey of quail arose from the ground and McGee rose his gun to his shoulder and fired and brought down the bird. At the same time a cry was heard and one of the Chicago men was discovered to have received part of the shot in his body. Dr. Loughridge picked out 46 shot, 21 from the neck and 25 from the right hand and arm. Some of the shot were buried so deep they could not be removed. The sportmen returned to Chicago the next day.

John Osborne had a narrow escape from death a few days ago and bears the trace of his mishap yet. He took the milk trian for Lee in the evening and when the engineer whistled for Lee he went out on the platform, and thinking the train had come to a stop stepped off into the darkness. The train proved to be going at a high rate of speed and Mr. Osborne found himself on his face plowing up the hard cinders. His face'was badly cut in several places and his back badly wrenched. He was covered with blood when he reached a house. The train pulled out without the train men knowing anything of the accident.

Lafayette Business College.

Those desiring to attend may have one week to try our school, and if we do not fulfill every promise, we will charge them no tuition and pay their car fare home.

Winter Resorts of the South.

Jackson and Tam pa, and other South Atlantic and Gulf Coast resorts* can be reached with but one change of cars from Chicago and that at Louisville or Cincinnati, where the Monon makes close connection with the L. N. and Q. & C. Vestibule trains, running through to Florida. The Monon’s day trains are now all equipped with beautiful new parlor and dining oars, while its night trains are made up of smoking cars, day coaches and Pullman and compartment sleepers, lighted' by electricity from the hindermost sleeper. The Monon has gradually fought its way to the front, making extensive improvements in its road-bed and service, until today it is the best equipped line from Chicago to the South, offering its patrons facilities and accommodations second to none in the world and rates lower than ever before. Miss Pearl Armstrong, of Marlboro, is quite sick.

The board adjourned Wednesday evening. The application of Henry Granger for liquor license in the town of DeMotte was refused, and Granger gave notice of appeal to the circuit court An attachment in this case was issued for Thomas AhliDg for contempt in refusing to appear as a witness. The sheriff brought him before the court and he was fined $2 and costs, which was suspended during good behavior. Ernest Fisher was granted a free scholarship in the Purdue University. Insurance to the amont of $4,800 was placed on the jail for a period of five years. Judson J. Hunt, recorder, made his report showing that collections to the amount of $36. 25 had been paid into the county treasury, and his salary of $24.65 was allowed. The poll tax of R. H. Purcu pile, insane, to the amount of $2.32 was ordered refunded and that he be exempt from poll tax in the future. C. W Hanley, sheriff, made his report which showed that no money had been taken in by him. Report approved. The report of A. G. Hardy, superintendent of the poor farm, was approved. Considerable road business was transacted and claims allowed.

The Rev. Chas. A. Ganser, of St. Joseph church, of Kentland. Ind., was a welcome visitor in the college last Friday. About 25 members of the St. Aloysius Sodality met last Sunday in the church to organize a dramatic club. Rules have been suggested and means proposed for the success of the laudable undertaking. Next Sunday there will be a continuation of the meeting. Next Sunday the first publication of banns between Thomas Fitzgerald, of Chicago, and Mary Halloran, of Rose Lawn, will be announced in the Catholic church. Mrs. Martin Schirach living west of town on the Paxton farm was very ill last week and received the last rites of her.church on Monday. Rev. Jno. Nagelelsn received an invitation of Rev. Quatman, of Sidney, Ohio, to preach to his congregation on the feast of Christmas. The invitation was accepted.

Jas. H. Long, our amiable and able teacher, will spend holidays in Valparaiso. A 1 Robinson, of Monon, was in this neighborhood last week buying hay. Authur Letter, formerly of Hanging Grove,* but later of Francesville, was buried at the Osborne grave yard last week. Authur was a bright and industrious young man. The cause of his death was consumption. A. McCoy’s third big sale at Marlboro was the best one held yet. There will be no Christmas exercises at the Osborne school house this year. We are informed that Marlboro will have a tree. Reed Banta and Daniel Robinson are building a large cow barn for A. McCoy at Zard. A young man whose name we have not learned, but who is a mail clerk on the Monon, was the guest of Miss Effie Gwin last week. Everyone will attend the big creamery debate at Marlboro tonight. Mrs. M. A. Robinson, of Fair View, visited relatives in Marlboro last week, Dan Robinson and Hattie Eldridge, Scott Robinson and Rose Detrick, Louis Hamilton and Marie Robinson spent a very pleasant evening with Miss Effie Gwin last Sunday. J- R. Phillips, of Marlboro, is building a big hen house. He has bought about five hundred fine chickens and expects to do a big poultry business during the ensuing year. Mr. W. E. Willetts has contracted with A. McCoy to milk aborft a hundred fine Jersey cows which the latter has lately purchased of a party near Fair Oaks. Osborn ite.

GOODLAND.

Turkeys, 7c. Oats, 28030 c. Corn, old, 34035. Corn, new, 320,33 c. Henry Getting is home from Thayer, because he is on the sick list. While residents of neighboring towns have been waddling through mud knee deep we have been gliding over our graveled streets like an excursion boat over Lake Michigan on a calm day. The Baptist church at this place began a winter’s protracted meeting last week. We have been informed that a petition containing nearly 600 names, asking congress to repeal the laws enacted at its last session, closing the World’s Fair on Sunday, was sent in a few days ago from this place and vicjftty. Mr. Ru. Hough, for many years city drayman at this place, has sold out his business and will move to the southern part of the state this week. Thomas Murphy has sold his place in Goodland to C. Curreps and rented a farm near Beaver. City and will move on the same about February Ist. We were mistaken last week. Ernest Paxton did not go to Valparaiso as intended, but will wait for the spring term. Tommy Butler and Forse Harrington that we mentioned last week as starting to school at Valparaiso, returned home, Saturday last, being just six 'days even after their departure. Tom says there is nothing like 1 going through college in short order. It is a saving of time and money, he thinks. He will, from this time on, content himself slicing down the choicest stakes and grinding sausage. An unusual display of holiday goods are to be seen in Goodland just now. We notice a number of old toys, books, etc., that have been displayed regularly for at least ten years past. A man that would buy a drug store in Goodland and did not get from six to eight wagon loads of tin toys would be no man at all, A Jenkins and wife, Ed Monigal and wife, George Jinkins and wife and Mr. B. Wilson were all taking ip the sights of Chicago the latter part of last week. There is one fellow coming to the World’s Fair we would like to see. and that’s that fellow from Johore. Our hands are up, Mr. Kitt, the $10,000,000 worth of diamonds don’t bother us, but where the fellow is coming from is what rattles us. Mr. Bruce Foresman, of Montano, has been telegraphed for, and before this reaches the readers of the Pilot, he will have arrived and taken charge of the Brook schools, a position he was asked to take by the trustee of that township. Jack the Ripper.
