Hunters are prohibited from shooting quail from Dec. 20 until Oct. 15; wild turkeys from Feb. 1 to Nov. 1; prairie chickens from Feb. 20 to Sept. 1: woodcocks or wild ducks from Jan. Ito July 1. It is against the law to hunt quail now and railroad companies and other carriers are prohibited from transporting such game.

Every time a cigar dealer takes a hand-full of cigars from the box and Spreads them out on top of the show case for the purchaser to select from he violates one of the most stringent laws in the United States. The internal revenue law has a rigid provision to the effect that retailers must not take cigars from a box after it has been packed and stamped. He should always hand out the box to his customers and let them select from it.

An exchange happily remarks: Men have various ways for carrying money. Butchers and grocers carry it in a crumpled wad. Bankers in nice clean bills laid in full length in a a morocco pocket-book. Brokers always fold their bills twice. The young business man carries his money in his vest pocket, while sporting men always carry it in their trousers pocket. Farmers and drovers carry their money in their inside pocket. Editors carry theirs in other people’s pockets.

The Indiana supreme court decides that where a passenger was wrongfully expelled from a train, not paying extra fare, the jury had a right to consider in estimating damages that the original wrongful act was, in the sense of the law, directly responsible for the train of injuries caused by it, including any illness or exhaustion resulting from the long walk he had to reach his destination. A railway company cannot charge a passenger extra fare for failure to purchase a ticket, unless it affords reasonable opportunity to purchase such ticket. The painting and decorating of the vast interiors of the great a exhibition halls at Chicago is an enormous undertaking. Frank Millet is the artist in charge. A recent estimate of the area to be covered with paint developed the fact that it would be impossible to set enough men at work with brushes to complete the task in time for the opening of the fair. Mr. Millet thereupon contrived a machine for doing the work. It consists of a piece of gas pipe flattened at one end to make a “spray.” From this a rubber hose connects with an air pump driven by an electric motor, and beyond this is a barrel of paint. The pump sucks paint from the barrel and the air jet sprays the paint with, force upon the surface to be coated. Four workr&aa with thismechanism can accomplish more in a day than a small army gs painters could in .a week. ■■ ' J.

There seems to be a general impression among railroad men that it is unlawful for them to carry letters. This is an error. The law expressly says that all letters inclosed in stamped envelopes, if the postage stamp is of a denomination sufficient to cover the postage that would be chargeable thereon if they were sent by mail, “may be sent, conveyed and delivered otherwise than by mail.” As a matter of fact, Wells, Fargo & Co. carry hundreds of letters into San Francisco daily, and have been doing so these thirtyfive years past.—Hartford Courant.

Jovial, good hearted A. McCoy, or Uncle Mac, as he should be called, made many a poor family happy on Christmas day. Saturday he sent to the homes of the poor of the town forty or fifty large roasts of beef from Bushey’s prize steer—meat which sold at 15 cents a pound. The roasts were large and the cold and blustering weather of Christmas day was unnoticed when the needy poor* sat down to their Christmas dinner. A kinder heart than Mac’s does not beat and no person need go hungry as long as Uncle Mac is around.

An observer gives a list of nine classes of people who do a town no good. They are, first, thdse who go out of town to do their trading; second, those who oppose improvements; third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business; fourth, those who imagine they own the town; fifth, those that think that business can be done slyly and without advertising; sixth, those who deride public spirited men; seventh, those w T ho oppose every movement that does not originate with themselves;eighth. those who oppose every public enterprise that does not appear to benefit them; ninth, those who seek to injure the credit of individuals.

The proprietors of the iron foundry at Mt. Ayr, referred to elsewhere, were in town Wednesday and seem anxious to build the foundry here if our citizens will give them any encouragement. It is a small affair, their capital being limited, but at the start will work from five to twelve men. The foundry was started last fall and has been kept busy ever since. T hey cast two days out of the week and have all the work they can handle. This week they are working on castings from Goodland. For SSOO bonus and four lots they will come here. They prefer the land near where the new threshing machine factory is located. If located here the foundry will do the casting for the threshing machine factory. They propose to put up a building 40x150 feet. As the bonus asked is small and as lots can be bought in that vicinity very cheaply, it might prove a good thing for the citizens to thoroughly investigate the matter.

CATHOLIC NOTES.

The priests of the college have returned from their holidays vacation. The Rev. A. Seifert, Rector of the college, went to Carthagena, 0., last Wednesday to attend a meeting of the officers of the Community of the Precious Blood. Next Monday requiem highmass will be celebrated at 9 a. m. for the repose of the soul of Mrs. Katherine Eiglesbach, in which all the members of the Rosary Sodality will receive holy communion and offer the merits of their prayer for her eternal welfare. Last Sunday the members of the St. >Aloysins and St. Rose Sodalities surprised their pastor by a handsome present. Mr. Peter Scallen in a neat address presented a beautiful gold watch, handsomely inscribed. Father Stanislas was greatly moved by these evidences of good will and responded briefly to all the good wishes and sentiments expressed by the Sodalities.

EGYPT.

Corn husking is a thing of the past. Isaac Blake is very sick with lung fever. Dr. Ramsay, of Remington, is attending him. John Snodgrass has moved to Monon, where he will engage in wood chopping. Misses Alice and Lizzie Crosby. of Hammond, are visiting friends in this vicinity. Miss Maude Swartz is home from Brook. Lewis Welsh and Andy Frasier were in Chicago last week. Albert Brand is tiling for Joe Adams. Dr. Brand, of Goodland, has established a branch office at Brook. Last Tuesday Joe Gailey saw two enormous timber wolves within forty rods of his house. A number of hunters gave chase, but were unsuccessful. Will Michaels has moved onto the Daniel Michaels farm. Albert Kean, the traveling store man of Foresman is around visiting his old friends and customers.

Wells Hubbard, a'former resident of this vicinity but now of Hammond, was here last week visiting old friends. Jas. Bullis sold his team of roadsters to Jas. Clinton, of Goodland, a few days ago. Enos Timmons is busily engaged in sawing wood. Jap Fleming was seen the other day moving a new stove into the house on the farm that he has rented. On being asked what he was doing, Jap said that he was building fence. Strange that a man should go into a house to build fence.

The scenes at the turkey trial, which came off in the hearing of Judge Frasier, was quite exciting. After the attorneys had exhausted the evidence, Prosecutor Besse stood up before his honor for an hour and thundered forth his store of legal lore. Judge Frasier sat upon the judges bench with a faraway look in his eyes, which is peculiar to all judges.

BLACKFORD.

Your Blackford correspondent and Blackford items, “three stars,” will disappear in the near future. Having made arrangements to retire from the great theatre of action we bid you an affectionate farewell. With a heart full of gratitude we now take leave of the People’s Pilot. We most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable. As time dispels the mist of predjudices we hope to see the People’s Pilot shine with ever increasing lustre. We are under many obligations to Editor Clark for his kindness and courtesy towards us during our correspondence with the Pilot and believing him to be a gentleman of fine natural abilities, we do not hesitate to recommend him to every one interested in a good country newspaper. We now resign our position to one more worthy whose name will be “Volunteer.” *

GILLAM.

It continues to grow colder with fewer prospects of snow and sleigh rides. There will be a joint institute of the Gillam and Medaryville teachers held at Medaryville Jan. 7. The oyster supper at East Vernon school house proved to be a great success. Emma Robinson, who has been teaching at Milwaukee, Wis., for the past two years has returned home again to spend the holidays. Robert Mannon, one of the Gillam teachers, returned to his home in Kankakee township to spend his vacation. Mrs. Ellen Logan has gone to Little Rock, Ark., to visit her brother. Quite a number of relatives and friends enjoyed a sumptuous turkey feast atThos. Robinson’s Christmas day. Eva Hess is seen in our midst again. Gill amite.

LAFAYETTE STOCK FARM. We have used your Craft’s Distemper and Cough Cura with perfect satisfaction, and consider it a great success in the treatment of Distemper and Coughs; in fact the only thing we have ever found that has done the work so quickly and perfectly. We therefore take great pleasure in recommending it to our friends. CROUCH & TRAVIS, Lafayette Stock Farm. Sold by F. B. Meyers.

WOODLAND.

Oats 28030 cents. Corn, new 33035; old, 35036. We greet the readers of the Pilot with a happy New Year. May their lives be long and prosperous, is our wish. The Central House will change proprietors the first of next week. The Presbyterian congregation at this place have at last secured the services of a minister, named Cort, as pastor for the coming year. There were three Christmas trees. (O! We don’t mean real trees like those that grow all around “Reformer,”) but places where presents were distributed. Only one had a real tree and that at the Presbyterian church, which was loaded to the top with some very handsome presents for both rich and poor. At the Baptist church they used Jacob's ladders, every round of which contained an appropriate gift for some one. The Methodists made a considerable change from the old ways by erecting a brick grist mill in the church, and from the windows of the mill the miller gave out the presents that were being ground out by a huge wind mill on top of the building. It was a very novel affair and created considerable amusement for young and old.

A blizzard resembling a Kansas cyclone struck this vicinity some time Saturday nigfit and by eaTly Sunday morning the ground was covered with snow to the depth of two or three inches. A young lady that has the cheek to step into her best fellow’s father’s place of business and tell the old man that she “can’t go that evening with his son,” has the grit. All the fellow has to do is to “stick t© the willows” a little while longer and a complete victory will crown his efforts. John Parker brother of exsheriff, Hugh Parker, was buried at this place last Saturday afternoon. He was formerly deputy postmaster at Goodland and was well and favorably known.

Will Collins, Will Perry, Clyde McCurry and Hugh Constable are home from Valparaiso on one or two days’ visit. The latter, we are informed, has taken the measles and will not return with the rest of the crowd.

That flinty-hearted, dyspeptic and gout-afflicted old bachelor who suggested many years ago that “women ought to be kept off the streets between the hours of 12 a. m. and 4p. m. during Christmas week, ought to have been in Goodland during Christmas week, provided he had any business at a toy store here. He would have gone to sbme secluded spot and taken a great big allopathic dose of kerosene. Women wrapped up big dolls, women wrapped up little dolls. White dolls, black dolls and jumping jacks all came on an equal footing and were dumped together and wrapped' in the same colored paper by fair hands, young hands, old hands and some dirty hands. Men pushed along aisles between pretty clerks, fat clerks, lean clerks, and big footed ones that blocked the store rooms so that men matrimonially inclined turned away in disgust. Then they moved farther down the crowded street and dropped in at a beer saloon with the remark, “I’ll bet I can go through this room without walking on women’s corns and having all my suspender buttons pulled off in those drug stores trying to buy a last year’s tin top for brother Sam’s first “kid.” The weather indications for Goodland last Monday morning were as follows: At Commissioner Wisher’s, north Goodland, 13 degrees below zero; V. B. Jenks’ coal yard, east Goodland, 10 degrees below zero; A. J. Kitt’s, west Goodland, 8 degrees below; F. Gilman’s, south Goodland, 6 below.

Mr. Harris, of Mt. Ayr, son of Henry Harris, of Rensselaer, was in town Monday morning en-route for Kentland, where he is serving as petit juror. He made the trip from Mt. Ayr on a hand-car and says he didn’t have to take off his over-coat to do the pumping either. Miss Cones, of Indianapolis, daughter of the great overall man, is visiting relatives in Good land, this week. Georgia, Myrtle and Miller Castle, daughters and son of our former school principal, are visiting friends here this week. Henry Barnett, of Momence, a former resident of Goodland, was in town Monday.

Ten or twelve coal cars, with the draw-bars broken, had to be repaired here last Sunday before they could be moved any farther. For the benefit of “Reformer” in the Pilot we will say we l have besieged the Herald office I for a week, almost day and I night, in order to give “Re- ■ former” a correct status of Mr. Kitt’s present political pulse. We utterly failed until after the cold weather struck town Monday but we caught him between two revolutions of his job press and found his condition very good. The cold breeze had somewhat lowered his temperature, but if nothing worse happens he will recover. He was able to converse perfectly rational and says he has nothing to regret from the step he has taken and never felt better in his life over a political defeat. He says he would have been no applicant for the post office here if he had remained a Democrat till this election. There is every reason to believe that if Mr. Cleveland had been elected four years ago. instead of Mr. Harrison, Mr Kitt would have gone out of the post office just the same, for he is no political crank. Can “Reformer” say as much? Jack the Ripper.

SORGHUM VALLEY.

Our school has dismissed for the holidays and we are all enjoying ourselves finely, the girls visiting, while we (the boys) spend most of our time hunting rabbits and skating. Our Christmas tree entertainment was a grand success. The recitations and songs by the little children especially deserve the highest praise. Mr. and Mrs. Bent Kenton, of Goodland, spent Christmas with relatives here. Mrs. Ida Nowels, of this place, is visiting at Pleasant Ridge. Miss Dema Hopkins dismissed her school at Hebron and is spending holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cale Hopkins. School Boy.

In purchasing spectacles do not patronize traveling doctors or opticians, as very few of them are honest or competent and are pretty apt to sell inferior goods, at very high prices. Dr. I. B. Washburn has a fine test case of lenses and will order you the very best of glasses, in such frames as you wish, at very reasonable rates. 1-50-ts Nothing so distressing as a hacking Cough. Nothing so foolish as to suffer from it. Nothing so dangerous if allowed to continue. One Minute Cough Cure gives immediate relief. A. F. Long & Co.

HEALED IN TEN DAYS. Mr. James Kerns, of West La- • fayette, Ind., says: I have used Morris’ English Stable Liniment on sore shoulders and cuts and have found it very satisfactory. Had a horse badly hooked by a cow, tearing a gash in the flank, healed it in ten days by the use of this liniment. Think it the finest remedy ever made for flesh wounds. Sold by F. B. Meyer.

A Million Friends. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and not less than one mil lion people have found just such a friend in Dr. King’s new discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. If you have never used this great cough medicine, one trial will convince you that it has wonderful curative powers in all diseases of throat, chest and lungs. Each bottle is guaranteed to do all that is claimed or money will be refunded. Trial bottles free at F. B. Meyer’s drug store. Large bottles 50 cents and ITT Sweet breath, sweet stomach, sweet temper, all result from the use of DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little pills. A. F. Long & Co.
