People's Pilot, Volume 2, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 March 1893 — Page 8 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Not two hours had passed after the outrage perpetrated by the commissioners Tuesday until two Republican ex-officials and very prominent citizens rushed up to the Pilot office and planked down a dollar each for the Pilot a year. “Such outrages by the servants of the people are sure to defeat the whole Republican ticket at the next election, and nothing could have been done which will strengthen the Pilot and the cause it advocates more than the shameful proceedings of the

commissioners Tuesday,” remarked the gentlemen. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago has just added to its rolling stock two new sleeping and two boudoir cars, costing nearly 845,000 each. These cars are said to be the finest ever placed on any road in the country and are specially designed for use during the World’s Columbian Exposition. These cars are models of elegance and beauty, each compartment or boudoir being fitted with a complete toilet set, cleverly hidden from view when not in use. They are in daily serviee between Chicago and Cincinnati and should be seen and used to be fully appreciated. All of the Monon's through i day trains are made up of smoking cars, new coaches and parlor and dining cars.—Chicago Tribune. Nearly all our readers are familiar with the attempt of the town board a few years ago to break up a cheap store in the interest of the home merchants, by passing an ordinance to tax the cheap store so that it would have to quit business. Being unconstitutional, of course the ordinance could not be enforced, and in consequence of the free advertising given the store, today it does more business and carries a larger stock of goods than any other store in Rensselaer. The outrage committed on the Pilot by the commissioners wiil have the same result in our case. People love to see justice done, and will condemn this overriding of the laws by rushing to our support.

“0! my head,” was the exclamation made by Wm. Payton Monday morning and instantly he dropped ®ead at the feet of an acquaintance. About eight o'clock Monday morning Mr. Payton met John Warren opposite the Makeever House on the west side of the street and stopping the latter engaged him in conversation of a business nature. It was during the conversation that Mr. Payton made the above exclamation, and throwing his hand to his head dropped dead, presumably from, heart disease. As he was falling Mr. Warren caught his body and supported the deceased in his arms. Mr. Payton gasped but

two or three times and was dead. A crowd at once assembled and bore the body to his residence where he was met by a sorrowing wife and daughter. A doctor made an examination and said that death had been instantaneous, but this not being his first attack his relatives were not satisfied that life was extinct and Tuesday batteries were applied to the body but without result. He leaves a wife and one child in almost destitute circumstances, and the wife is at present confined to her bed with sickness. The funeral was held at the First Baptist church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Rhoades conducting religious services. A large number of sympathizing friends were present. My. Payton was a carpenter by trade, and at the time of his death bad the contract for building two or three houses in Rensselaer. His age was 43 years. Sympathizing friends contributed oyer S6O toward the funeral expenses. Smoke the Mendoza cigar. * For a good smoke try the Safety cigar.
