RENSSELAER. IND.. FRIDAY' JULY2I.IB93'

D. J. Thompson and his nephfiW Kuy Thompson have gone to northern Michigan on a hunting and fishing trip. The Valparaiso Messenger, following its usual custom, is preparing to publish its list of non-paying subscribers. Marriage licenses: Daniel E. Tanner. Tillie P. Stenkie; Henry W. B. Greenhalgh, Nora A. Shea; Elmer E. Pullins, Emma J, Faris. Miss Ida Chilcote has returned from school at Valparaiso and will attend the summer normal here. She will teach in Marion township this year. The Trade Palace and Chicago Bargain Store each have an interesting story to tell in this issue. It will pay you to read their advertisements.

The Rensselaer fire company donated sls for the relief of the families of the firemen who lost their lives in the cold storage building at Chicago. Harry O. Wise will not teach in the Rensselaer schools this year, having accepted a position in the Fort Wayne schools. His successor has not yet been employed. Uncle Billy Beck was able to be down in town Wednesday, the first time tn two months. He looks well and strong and has almost recovered from his late illness.

The recent act of the legislature requiring weekly payments to employes has no penalty attached for non-performance of that duty and is therefore practically a deadletter.

Wm. Gazaway, the young insane man who was placed in jail last week for safe keeping, was taken to the Logansport asylum Tuesday by Sheriff Hanley and deputy McColly. J. W. Porter has purchased Williams’ photograph gallery’ for his daughter May. Mr. Williams will return to his old home in Ohio and. engage in farming on the home place.

D. B. No we Is is said to have the prettiest lawn surrounding hiS fine new residence to be seen in town. Those wishing to pattern after it would do well to inspect it before the dry weather kills the grass.

The suit of the State against the Tolles tonclub of Chicago to regain possession of 4,000 acres of land in Lake county was decided against the plaintiff and Indiana is just that many acres of swamp poorer. Our offer of the Pilot 8 weeks for 10 cents will not be continued after August 11th and may be withdrawn at an earlier date. If you wish to get the paper eight weeks for less than cost you should speak quick. Henry W. B. Greenhalgh and Miss Nora A. Shea were married at the residence of Aunt Jane Shaw Wednesday evening. Rev. L. Cain, the young divine of Sheldpn, 111., who is the guest of Rev. Baech, officiated. The iron work on the new fence around the public square is fast rusting away for want of paint. The money would be well expended by having a competent painter go over it and give it a thorough repainting.

The fare on all railroads centering in Indianapolis will be one cent per mile, for those who attend the G. A. R. encampment So far the rate to the World’s Fair has been three cents per mile and no reduction is yet in sight.

“What paper is the best in Jasper county to insert an advertisement in?” was the question asked to one of our leading merchants this week. “Why, the Pilot, of course, I always receive large returns from advertisements I have in it.

Two sharpers are again Ifi the field selling wind mill territory, says an exchange. A contract is signed which obligates the purchasers to sell 1125 worth of wind mills. By tearing off one end of the agreement it turns out to be an iron clad promissory note, such as has been used with much telling effect in the west. It is an old scheme, but gets its victims this year toe same as last. They have been doing finely in LaPorty ppuuty. Smoke the Mendosa cigar-

At eight they called him Willie, at twelve they called him Will, at sixteen he was Billy, at twenty jast plain Bill. His mother “Willied” him always, her strong love to evince; his father willed him nothing, and he’s been billed ever since.—Ex. A society young man of Goshen removed his shoes while sitting on the front porch with his best girl the other night because they pinched his feet. Both girl and beau fell asleep and during their nap a tramp slipped up and st;ole the shoes. For the occasion of the unveiling of The soldiers’ monument at Delphi, July 27th, on which occasion ex-President Harrison and ex-Governor Chase will make speeches. Tickets will be sold at one and one-third fare for the round trip, good July 28th.

This is an exact copy of a postal card received from the North Judson correspondent of the Starke county Democrat: “Juli 3 I’wil be drunk toda ond tomorrer and cant rite the nuse till the tail end of this weak. Hopping this will sute you I am thine till after the fourth.”

Persons who use either gasoline or oil stoves during the summer should consult their fire insurance policies, and if no permit to use such is attached to the policy one should be secured. A moment of attention to this may prevent the loss of insurance.

For the second time within as many weeks some one broke a glass in Vick’s restaurant window and appropriated all goods in sight last Sunday evening. This time they used a knife and cut the window frame so that the goods could be removed. Some one will land in the jail unless they are careful.

A brakeman had a narrow escape from death near the depot Monday evening. He fell under the side of a moving freight car, but was thrown out before the wheels had a chance to passover his body. His body was badly bruised and he /was assisted to a passing passenger train and taken to his home at Lafayette. Everyone in Rensselaer has doubtless noticed the hundreds of large bugs which gather around the arc lights every evening when they are lit, but pay little attention to them. It is said that they are capable of inflicting a sting almost as poisonous as that of an adder. The bug is a species of the tarantula, and its sting is as poisonous as that of the latter. They seldom sting anyone, and never do so except in self defense, but people should be careful about handling them. At Tipton recently a young man lost his leg from the sting of anelectric light bug, the physician being compelled to amputate the young man’s limb in order to save his life.

Mrs. Tinsley, of the W. C. T. U. will address the children of Rensselaer at the M. E. church next Sunday at Bp.m„ for the purpose of organizing an L. T. L. She will also deliver a lecture in the evening at eight o’clock, after which a collection will be taken to defray expenses. She will give an address at Bark> ley at 8 p. m. Everybody cordially invited to each of the above. / A peculiar shipment was made from the University of Notre Dame to Paris, France, via/ the National Express Company’s line. The shipment consists of aibox containing 600,000 canceled postage stamps collected at the university for the benefit or an orphan asylum in Paris. On their arrival they will be made up in books containing 1,000 each and sold. The box weighs 200 pounds. It has been alleged from the pulpit that Goodland has fortyfive “infidels,” or “free thinkers.” The number, if carefully counted, will probably double that.—Herald. It is claimed by those who have given the matter thought that Rensselaer contains more infidels according to population than any town in the state, notwithstanding the fact that the town contains a church for about every 200 population. Rev. N. Vice requests us to announce that the fourth quarterly meeting of the M. P. church on the Rensselaer charge, will be held at the Rose Bud church July 29 and 30. Rev. Rogers,* of the Frankfort charge, will be present. He requests all of the official members to be prese'nt and everybody is invited to be thereon the 80th. Come with baskets well filled and take dinner in the grove. The fault finders are about the only ones that the editor can rely upon to hear “what sort of a paper he publishes.” You dscorch” a public entertaintainment, a public official, an organization of any kind, and you will hear from it on all sides, and they will curse you up hill and down. But you might go on and give a column of “taffy” and laud them to the skies, and the probability is you would never receive a word of thanks or praise, and no one would think to speak of it in your presence. There is always a strong temptation, says an exchange, for an editor of a newspaper to write in such a way as to secure somebody’s disapproval of what he says, to “pitch in” to somebody’s cherished views. He is then sure to hear from what he says, and he very seldom hears from any other kind of writing. He may write handsome things and he will never find out whether anybody has read them or not* Except for the faultfinders he would inevitably conclude that no one ever reads an editorial. Therefore, welcome fault-finders.—Ex.

A man who knew all about the printing business after having three dollars worth of job work done undertook to make up the forms of a newspaper. Here is how he sand witched a marriage notice and a grocery-man’s local together: “John Smith and Miss Ida Qua were married in the holy bonds of sourkraut «>ld by the quart or barrel. Mr. Smith is an esteemed young codfish at ten cents per pound while the bride has a great many berries for sale at a shilling per bushel, Rev. Brown officiating.” Many of our readers remem ber Upton Oliver, who was here with the electric belt and Yuba (swindled) soanshow last winter. He had hub one eye, put that was sharp enough to spot a “sucker” when one was near. He was in his glory in those days and dearly loved to jingle the money of his victims in his pockets. As the writer was dreamily taking in the scenes of Chicago from the deck of a World’s Fair excursion steamer on a hot afternoon recently, he was startled to hear a familiar voice crying, “Here’s your lemonade, and its as cold as ice can make it. Try a glass and be cool. ” Turning our head we beheld the well known form of Oliver, whom the boys of Rensselaer loved so well to hiss last winter. Oliver was either under the influence of “Oh, be jolly,” or else had not yet got his sea legs on. He seemed to be in hard luck and his story con firmed it. “Oh. yes. I remember Rensselaer. Did well down there. From the way people bought soap and belts they certainly knew when they had a good thing. Ha, ha, why the soap cost but a cent a cake and the belts a dollar a dozen. No, they had no merit in them, but it would not hurt a fellow to use the things. But snaps do not last always and I have been in hard luck since leaving there. Worked in the Paris Musee on State street for a while after quitting the show business. Yes, its a tough place, but what’s the difference, everything goes in Chicago and when a fellow is in hard luck his conscience shouldn’t bother him. Had a rib broken and was thrown out of that job, and Otter getting well, took to the faking business on this boat. No, there’s not much in it, but it gives me someto eat. Did our show bust up? Yes, we went to pieces up in Wisconsin, and one of those rascally landlords up there still has my baggage and is liable to keep it unless I strike a better lay-out than this. Lemonade, miss, certainly, here you are, and its as cool as ice will make it! Only a nickel, thanks. Well, so long, give my best to all the boys in Rensselaer,” and he passed on, but at the other end of the boat could be heard the cry, “Here’s your lemonade, and it’s as cold as ice can make it. Try a glass and you’ll always be cool.”
