There are times when nothing else but money will answer the purpose, and this is one of those times. Therefore, let the little, neglected debts be paid now.— Ex.

The coroner of Tippecanoe has brought in a verdict on the Lafayette depot wreck to the effect that the air brakes failed to work. - ’ It cost the county *SOO for this belated information from the coroner, which they had received from the newspapers several weeks ago without charge. One ol the most horrible fire disasters of recent years was that on the World's* Failgrounds Monday, an account of which will be found elsewhere in this issufe. It was an exhibition of horrors not down on the programme and which many of the visitors doubtless would be glad to shut out of their memories.

The best possible definition yet given to a newspaper is this: “A private enterprise for public profit.” If there was ever an institution tending to profit the public at large it is the newspaper and if there was ever an institution more illtreated generally than the newspaper we haven't heard of it.— Ex.

The Lafayette Courier says: “The statement published in various rival cities that work on the Monon shops here had been discontinued is without any foundation whatever.

Our great offer of the Pilot 8 weeks for ten cents is being taken advantage of by a large number, but there are still many who are not receiving the paper. For the benefit of those the offer is still continued, but will be withdrawn as soon as a certain number are taken. This is less than the cost and should at once be taken advantage of. Send in your dimes. The July Cosmopolitan will make the most radical step ever taken in periodica! literature. With that issue the magazine, unchanged in form, will be put on sale at 12| cents per copy or $1.50 per year, or just half the old price. The Cosmopolitan is equal to Harper’s, Scribner's, or any of the high price magazines. We will furnish it, in connection with the Pilot for $2.25 per year,

Should the supreme court decide the fee and salary bill unconstitutional there will likely be a special session of the legislature. Even should the supreme court sustain the law it is highly probable that Gov. Matthews will call a special session of the legislature to enact laws to wipe out the Roby prize fighters. Tippecanoe county must be proud of Senator McHugh, who caused all this trouble by getting the Roby bill passed.

MONITOR ROLLER MILLS

Every body should try our While Lilly Flour, For sale at nearly every store in the country. W. R. Nowels & Son.

A wise .woman once said there were three follies of man that always amused her. The first was climbing a tree to shake the fruit down, when if they would only wait long enough die fruit would fall itself; the second was going to war to kill each other, when if they only waited they would die naturally; and the third was that they should run after women, when if they did not do so the women would run after them. The funeral of Miss Mary Gowland, the young lady killed at Good land by the cars on the 4th, was held Thursday fore noon. An inquest was held Wednesday afternoon and evening, the train men being present. The evidence showed that she was struck by the tender, in stead of by the engine itself, that she did not see the train approaching, being busily en gaged in talking to a companion, and that the railroad company were in nowise to blame for the accident, although they were censured for not providing wider passenger platforms and for allowing the same to be obstructed with freight, especially on a day when large numbers of passengers were to be expected. A i ide which rivals the cowboy ride from Chaldron to Chicago, was made right here in our own Hoosier state the early part of this week and by a youth reared in our own midst. • ‘Fris co Fred,” (Alfreddie Phillips) a member of the Cimaroon Club (in good standing) is the sole hero of this feat of horseman ship. Starting from a point in the northern end of Lake county, he made the perilous trip through swamp and forest, stopping only at Fair Oaks to register and skirmish around for horse feed. It was here that humane officers Casey and Gundy examined the condition of his horse and pronounced him in excellent trim. From this beautiful resort he started out after night with nothing but the lonely Lunar Light to guide his way. His reception by the Cimaroons on his arrival is one that will long be remembered and the faithful horse “Gray Wolf With a Red Tail” will be preserved by the club after his short stay on this earth.

President McCoy and Manager Strong are to be congratu lated, as the Rensselaer creamery butter stands at the head of all butter so far exhibited at the World’s Fair. Mrs. Laura D. Worley, superintendent of the dairy interests of Indiana, makes the following report: “Indiana sent the first butter to the Fair and it was first judged and scored among the highest creamery butter. The highest mark was 97, awarded to Rensselaer, which was only three less than the highest possible, 100. Indiana has every reason to be proud, as the highest score among the ladies on dairy butter was given to Mrs. Grace Benedict, of Springport, Henry county. Indiana.” Next to Rensselaer comes Indianapolis and Spiceland, with a score of 95. Charley Morlan is the butter maker at the cjjpamery and this test proves that he is an expert and that his services will always be in demand by the creameries throughout the coup- ’ ■W- Tuesda y another tub of butter was sent to enter into the July competition, but having but a day’s notice in which to prepare the butter and having to use sour cream of an inferior quality*. Mr. Morlan has no hopes of receiving a high mark for this month.
