People who go outside of the town or county to get their printing done should go outside for their free advertising and other favors, too.

RENSSELAER. IND., FRIDAY. APRIL 28, 1893.

Attention is called to the ad, “See Again as in Youth,” in another place in this paper.

It was mashed so bad that it had to be amputated. For big bargains in town lots call at A. Leopold’s. He will sell you lots in his addition which are larger and better situated to the school house than any other you could select. Call soon and find out terms and prices. At the Makeever House parlors last Thursday evening Elmer C. Williams, trustee of White Post township, Pulaski county, and Miss Minnie L. Robinson, of Gillam township, were united in marriage. Rev. Campbell officiating. We have sent out a large number of statements to those who are delinquent on subscription to the Pilot for a year or more, and hope those receiving the notice will give the same proper attention and receive our everlasting gratitude.

A woman of Skeaneateles, N. Y., was awarded a verdict of $250 on Wednesday, against a man who stole a kiss from her. To the credit of both professions it can be said that the man was neither a minister nor an editor. —Greenfield Daily Tribune. A printing office in Kentucky the other day was opened with prayer. This is a rare exception to the rule, as from time immemorial it has been the custom of a newspaper office to be opened by the Devil and closed by the sheriff.—Ambia News. A movement is quietly on foot in Rensselaer for the establishment of a canning factory here, with fair prospects of success. The plan is to form a stock company, erect the factory and hire an experienced superintendent to run it. In our next issue we expect to be able to give some encouraging news in regard to the project. Whatever is accomplished must be done quickly, in order to allow time to plant the crops for this year’s canning.

CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE. Mammoth Sale of Shoes and Slippers . 1587' PAIRS This spring's samples of J. MILLER's make--the world's best.

Young men wishing a free scholarship in Purdue University can earn this prize on the farm at home by complying with certain terms set forth in a circular recently issued. Full particulars can be obtained by addressing Prof. W. C. Latta, Lafayette, Ind. A man went into an Alabama newspaper office the other day to kill the editor. There was a brief interview, and then the editor wrote a touching obituary, in which the plea of self-defense was ingeniously introduced. Never fool with an editor or a gasoline stove.—Ex. An exchange says: “Suit has been brought in the Whitley county court to test the constitutionality of the fee and salary law as it affects county officers.” The best of legal talent will represent the officials, and a supreme court decision will be obtained as soon as possible. Goodland must be full of jacks, as a “Jack the Ripper” has been sending news to the Rensselaer Pilot, and now a “Jack the Hugger” is writing for the Remington Press. -’Tis said that “Jack the Kisser” is a twin brother of “Jack the Hugger.”—Wolcott Enterprise.

Since the order of the town board prohibiting the running at large of cattle in the corporate limits, a number of our citizens have removed the fences around their residences and others are intending to do so. Well kept lawns, with no fence to obstruct the view; adds much to the appearance of a place. Van Camp & Co., Indianapolis, proprietors of the oldest and largest canning factory in this state, say a corn canning factory, with a capacity of 20,000 cases per season and employing 75 to 100 hands, can be erected in Goodland for $7,000. This is much below the estimate named by those who don’t know what it would cost. —Herald. Most men want a woman for a wife who knows something practical. A girl without a dress to her back is worth more than a score of those fancy kind of girls, if she can cook, sew, mend and understands housekeeping thoroughly. A girl who can put a good square patch on the gable end of a pair of pantaloons may not be as accomplished as she who works or embroiders green worsted dogs on a gentleman’s slipper toe, but she is far more useful to the needs of a large family.—Goshen Democrat.

A committee sent from Goodland to investigate the various systems of making artificial gas reports strongly in favor of the Parker system, which they saw in operation at Liberty. They state that a plant for a town the size of Goodland can be put in for about $12,000 and that gas can be furnished at a good profit for 35 cents per 1,000 feet. The creditors of the town of Cumberlain Gap., Ky., have filed a petition in chancery, asking that a receiver be appointed to wind up its affairs. The bill is what is known as a general creditors’ bill. The proceedings are somewhat novel, being perhaps the first instances where a town has been compelled to assign. When you notice about all the stock of some dealer out on the sidewalk as an advertisement you can be sure he doesn’t advertise in the PILOT. If he did, he would not have to lug his store out of doors to let people know he is still wriggling. You will make money to trade with our advertisers—they know how to do business and will treat you right.

A case was tried in Squire Burnham’s court before a jury Tuesday. Louis Sayler, of Newton township, sued George Ballard, a horse trainer, for killing a vicious horse while attempting to break it. Ballard was hired by the day to break the horse and was assisted by Mr. Sayler and two sons. In some way the horse became entangled in the ropes he was tied with, and rolling down an embankment was killed. The jury found for the defendant, which threw the costs of the case on Sayler. Bushey, the meat market man, always aims to keep the best meat and to please his customers. He cures his own meats and his sugar cured hams and corned beef are unsurpassed. This week he killed two large, fat steers, the meat of which would suit the taste of an epicure. Workmen have just completed for him the largest and finest refrigerator ever seen in Jasper county. The exterior is made of hard pine and is a fine piece of work. The front reaches to the ceiling and the full width of the room. The ice is put in at one side of the refrigerator and not at the top. as is generally the case. In front is a partition with glass doors, in which to hang cut meats. The cold can be shut off from this part at any time.

The Goshen News describes another ingenious swindling scheme, which has lately been practiced by sharpers by means of a double fountain pen. One end of the pen is filled with ordinary black ink and the other with sympathetic ink, which, although it looks exactly like the former, fades away in a few days. The modus operandi of the sharper is to write any agreement in which he may happen to be one of the interested parties with the vanishing ink. The hapless victim, namely, the other interested party, appends his signature, but he uses the other end of the pen. In a short time the document fades away and the sharper has a sheet of paper empty but for the bona fide signature attached, and offering unlimited opportunities of levying blackmail. The Rensselaer fire company is to be congratulated on the appearance of their fire apparatus and engine room. The engine and hook and ladder trucks are polished until they shine. Not a speck of dirt is to be seen any place. The brass work shines and reflects the light far out into the street. The “blind man's” lantern hanging on the engine is especially noticeable, and the first thought which strikes a person passing the engine house at night is that the town board is wasting money on electric lights for the engine room, as the lantern in its present condition is all that is necessary as an illum nant, A rule of the company, and one which is strictly enforced by its officers, is to have the apparatus thoroughly rubbed and brightened up after every fire. The town board, pleased by the way the company keeps its quarters, are very liberal, and allows every member attending a fire pay for his services. True, at their last meeting, the board ordered the company to clean np their engine and house, but this was done as a joke by the festive members of the board and when the PILOT published the order, thinking it was issued in good faith, the board made an apology to the company and set up the -- . But, joking aside, it will pay any of our citizens to pay a visit to the engine house and examine the condition of affairs. No pen can do it justice.

Town Cow. Good pastures adjoining town can be secured for the summer. Only a limited number will be taken. H. L. Brown, Dentist.
