A Newspaper.

And a Paper of General Circulation. Such is the Decision of Judge Wiley. Messrs. Tabor et al, You Should Now Hide Your Heads in Shame. For Prostituting Your Office for Per sonal Spite— You are Now the Contempt of All Honest Men. As we predicted last week, Judge Wiley decided the case of the PILOT in our favor Tuesday, and in a talk of about fifteen minutes defined the rights of this paper in a manner that would have made the Jasper county board of commissioners hang their heads in shame, provided they have any left. After the Judge's talk the following entry of the case was made, which we advise the commissioners to paste in their hats for future reference: We find that the PEOPLE'S PILOT is a weekly newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in Rensselaer, Jasper county, Indiana, within the meaning of Section 5314, R. S., 1881.

We have been asked why so much type is set each week on the PILOT. Well, one reason is that it pays to do so. It is our aim to get out a good newspaper —one that will be an improvement over all others. Some dirty hog threw up a barrel of whiskey, more or less, in the stairway leading to the PILOT office last Sunday. If you must make a hog of yourself, keep back of the saloons where you get your drinks. Bert Brenner, of Mt. Ayr, has taken Semie Fendig’s place in A. F. Long & Co.’s drug store. It is reported that Semie has secured a position under Cleveland as pork inspector at Jerusalem and will shortly leave for that place. It is reported that Jackson Plummer, the murderer, of Kentland, who has been confined in the prison at Michigan City, has been sent from there to an insane asylum. He is also said to have cancer of the stomach, and that he can live but a short time. Recorder Hunt was in Gillam Sunday. There is quite an attraction in that vicinity for him. It is expected that he will build a residence in the Columbia addition before long, and go to housekeeping, as he has long been complaining of boarding house fare. A man supposed to be Charlie Wilson, who robbed E. M. Timmons, of Jordan township, recently, was arrested a few days ago near Deerfield, Randolph county, for robbing a house. He was caught the morning following the robbery in a school house and lodged in jail. Charlie Wilson was the name he gave. The canning factory fever is still spreading. A company at Lafayette wants to contract for 500 tons of cabbage this season at $6 a ton. John Heinz, a canning factory man, says an acre of ground will produce fifteen tons of cabbage. Cucumbers for pickles also bring good returns, one acre of ground yielding 200 bushels, which at 50 cents a bushel brings $100. Lafayette people are about convinced that there is more money in pickles aud cabbage than in wheat and corn.—Monticello Herald. The electric belt fake left town Monday night for Irving Park, Ill. During the last three days of their stay they pretty thoroughly advertised the PILOT and its editor. Please accept our thanks, gentlemen. Speaking of the show, to use a slang expression, it was ‘rotten,” not an artist being in the troupe. Their belts may be all they claim, but the chances are they prove worthless. Before leaving town the doctor himself said, in private conversation, that he did not know whether any electric belt was of any value or not, but the one he was selling was as good as any. The company carried away many dollars from our town which might just as well have been left in circulation here, as the same belts and soap is carried in stock by A. F. Long, and is sold as cheap, if not cheaper, than the fake which has been in our town for the past two weeks. The last night of the company's engagement here, about half of the troupe was distributed throughout the audience, with instructions to eject any one found hissing, and thus protected from annoyance, the company seemed to take a delight in repeating all the old chestnuts which had been hissed at the previous nights. Smoke the Mendoza cigar. For sale everywhere.
