Elder Sylvester Hassell, of North Carolina, will preach at the Primitive Baptist church j next Sunday at 10:30 a. m. and also at 4 p. m. Mr. Hassell, who is the author of a standard 1 church history, is a very learned j and able minister of the gospel. ! Everybody is given a special in j citation to attend these services. Mr. J. C. Boswell, one of the best known and most respected citizens of Brownwood, Texas, suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and tried many different remedies without benefit, i until Chamberlain’s Colic, Choi-: era and Diarrhoea Remedy was 1 used; that relieved him at once, j ’or sale by F.

On account of the excessive. < Barge for the collection of New York drafts Hartley Bros, art' now transacting their collection business through the express companies. Their first consignment of cash arrived Tuesday, and as it was all in silver it toot-: the whole office force to transfer it from the express office to the i auk. —Goodland Herald. The Kentland fair will be held tins year from Aug. 29th to September Ist, and promises to eclipse all former exhibitions. The trials of speed will especially be worth going many miles to see. Rensselaer people should take a drive over to the pretty town of Kentland this year and see how the Newton county people hustle to make their fairs a success. The Jasper and White county commissioners met in joint session Monday to hear arguments in tlie Waukarusha ditch case. After hearing the plea of the attorneys on both sides, the commissioners decided that sufficient notice had not been given to non-residents and the case was continued until September to give time for further publication.

The Haaiittoii-Marviii Comedy Co. come:; with a well selected repertoire of the latest sue- .. • f-'sse >. A u ions' th eivpi ay s are Natural Gas, Jack O’Diamonds, Man and Master, Black Flag, Pip Van Winkle. Black Diarri'uids. Two Orphans. County Fair, Oliver King. Maud Muller. A Noble Outcast and many others. They will begin a week's engagement at the Opera House Morday evon in g. Dan freedom of Australia, vron-tho middle-weight battle for a purse and S2,OTJ a side from Alex. Greg trains at the Columbian Athletic arena at Roby Monday night. The victory was secured in the face of serious obstacles. Before the light began a crowd similar to that which attacked the arena on Hie occasion of its last entertainment bombarded the buildin"- with rocks, broke through the walls, and after being ejected set lire to one of the ticket stands, causing small panic. Six thousand spectators witnessed the light between the two pugilists. The officers did not interfere and no arrests at ere made.

The Hamilton Marvin Dramatic Co., which played a week’s engagement in Rensselaer last winter will be back again the whole of next week. They will open with “Jack O’Diamonds” at the Opera House Monday evening and will give a change of bill nightly. The name of the company is a sufficient recommendation as to their merits. The prices of admission will be only 15, 25 and 35 cents.

From a letter received at this | office over signature of G. V. Moss, from South Waukegan, 111., we learn that he has embarked in the real estate and in surance business on his own hook. There is no danger of his having to close his doors now. as lie is a hustler, and those are the kind that get to the front. Unbounded success is the wish of his scores of friends in this neck of Hoosierdom.—Hebron Leader.

The Kokomo city council has ordered the police to strictly enforce the law umking it unlawful to sell, barter or give any preparation of tobacco to any child under lfi years of age, with a penalty of *IOO fine and thirty days imprisonment for its violation. The same should be done here by all means. One round about town is all that is necessary to convince one of the bad habits small boys are allowed to cultivate by the non-enforce-ment of this law.

The cranberry marshes near Michigan City have been on fire for several days. A great deal of this ground was unfenced and everybody was welcome to go there and pick berries'. The fire, however, has made a great difference in affairs. Even the people who own the ground can get no berries because the bushes have been burned to the ground. About 300 acres have been burned, and the loss to pickers and owners of the property will amount to 81.000.

> The profile of the Waukarusha ditch exhibits some of the finest engineering of the 19th century. I,n three or four different places the bottom of the ditch for quite a distance is shown to be above the level of the land and there is no provision made for carrying the-water over these depressions. We presume that Simon P. Thompson will endeavor to have his law amended so as to allow the construction of chutes for such purposes.—White Co. Democrat,

Through the reading of a news item in an Indianapolis paper. Mrs. Anna Caulkins of Lafayette, became aware that her brother, Robert Duncan, was a citizen of Indianapolis, where he is a wealthy, retired business man. The brother and sister were separated 70 years ago in New York, and since that separation neither have received news from the other. They have been living but (34 miles apart for over sixty years. Mrs. Caulkins is 85 years old and Mr. Duncan is 88.

It is told that a young man who is very particular about his washing lately wrote a note to his washer.-woman and one to his sweetheart, and by a strange fatality put the wrong address on each envelope and sent them off. The washer-woman was well pleased with an invitation to take a ride the next - day, but when the young lady read, “If you tumble up my shirt bosom any more as you did the last time, I will go somewhere else,’' she cried all evening and declared she would never speak to him again. Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic. Texarkana, Arkansas has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the jiux. His experience is well worth remembering. He says: “Last summer I had a very severe attack of flux. I tried almost every known remedy. none giving relief. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person suffering with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence.” 25 and 5u cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, the druggist.

Congressman Lane, of the Sullivan district has, according to the St. Louis Republic, made the annou»cement that he will introduce a bill iu congress making a law compelling every banking house in ihe United States keep an advertisement in a newspaper in or near the town in which the bank is lo-

cated, giving the true assets and liabilities of the same at all times, sworn to by the president and cashier of the bank. the?e statements to be published daily if possible and at least weekly, and the officers certifying falsely to be subject to conviction of a penitentiary offense.—Streator (III.) Free Press.

Judge F. C. Price, better known among us as Clark Price, spent last week with his parents on the old homestead near town. Mr. Price has met with well deserved success since going to Kansas, having served in the legislative body of that state. He is now judge of the thirtyfirst judicial district, which embraces three large and populous counties. That Judge Price wears the erraiue with an eye single to the merits of the*case, all who know him will believe. After a visit with relatives and friends in Hartford City, |nd.. and Sandusky, 0., he will return to this place with his wife and daughter to attend a reunion of the Price family, at the home of his parents, the latter part of this month.—Remington Press. Nicholas Zimmer applied for license to marry his divorced wife, Anna, Tuesday. He only had a dollar and the clerk trusted him for the balance. The license is not apt to be used, however, as his former wife refused point blank to marry him after he obtained the license. He left her sitting in a wagon while he went for the license. After he obtained it he could be seen pleading with her, but she seemed obstinate and he returned to the clerk’s office presumably to return the license and get back his dollar, but the clerk had gone. Zimmer is a worthless drunkard and has wasted the proceeds from the sale of his farm and is now trying to get his former wife to remarry him, iu order to get his paws on what money she has left, but if he is successful it will be through fear on her part. They live in Carpenter township and were divorced in April, 1891.

Arthur E. Linebach, a tailor at Remington, has brought suit for divorce against his erring and erratic wife Augusta. They were married in May, 1888, and lived together as man and wife until June, 1890. In May of that year the trouble began, and Murphy charges his wife with adultery with one Murphy. He also charges her with indiscretion with certain men at a hotel known as the “Golden- Spike” at Lima, Ohio. The defendant was also guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment, so he says, that she used the most obscene and profane language toward him and his sisters. This did not, seem to satisfy her anger ana she threatened to kill him and attacked him with a heavy pair of tailor’s shears and at another time with a butcher knife. Lineback, however, escaped with his life. He prays Judge Wiley to grant him a divorce.

CORRESPONDENCE.

GOODLAND. Eggs lie. Butter 20c. Oats 2 Kir 23c. Corn 33(§:35c. The long prayed for rain came Friday. Mr. Royster, of Morocco, was in town Friday. Our public schools open September 4th. Miss Ollie Weeks is visiting her sister at Rose Lawn for a few days. Mrs. H. K. Masher, of Chicago, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Z. F. Little. Mrs. Jas. Johnson returned from Gas City Tuesday, after a week’s visit with friends. • Mr. Sampson, one of Goodland’s city draymen has been quite sick for a week or ten days past. Will Green, Burt Green and Ed Fay went to the Kankakee Monday to take a three or four days' fish. Hartley Bros, bought ten thousand bushels of oats last Saturday, paying for some as high as 24c. Mr. Thomas met with quite a painful accident a few days- ago by a traction engine running over his left foot. Conductor Avy .and Express Messenger Stanley both of Momence and C. & I. C., attended Mullen’s show here last week.

Two match games of base ball are booked for this place this week. Goodland vs. Sheldon Friday, 1 p. m. Saturday Brook vs. Goodland 1 p. m. The Newton county soldiers’ reunion will be held at Brook next Tuesday and Wednesday, August 22nd and 23rd. An interesting program has been prepared. The president of the W. R. C., Mrs. John Thomas is now a resident of Fowler, but came over Saturday and filled her place just as though she was yet a resident of Goodland. When you see a girl wearing a black plaster near her mouth or on her cheek it indicates the last spot kissed by mortal man. And is a good omen that she will never be kissed again. Mr. R. T. Mody is at Geneva Lake, Wis., attending the national yacht race that takes place at that place this week. He will return via. Chicago and take in the sites of the "White City. Mr. James Ward and family, of Montana, returned to Goodland last week after an absence of eleven months. The closing of all the silver mines in his locality is the cause of his return.

The Brook base ball team came over to this place Friday to meet the Remington nine. But up to date the Remington club has not put in an appearance and it is believed by experts that they don’t intend coming before they have grown to be a year or two older. They got enough at Kentland the 4th. Rev. Loveling, of Crown Point, filled Elder Wilson’s place at the M. E. church last Sabbath. This is the last quarterly meeting for this year. Rev. Jenkins will go to conference about the last of this month and will resign from this ministerial charge and be transferred to the extreme northwestern conference of the United States.

A rather singular incident occurred in front of Dr. Humston’s 6ffice the latter part of last week, as a number of gentlemen were sitting near the office door. A spotted snake fell from overhead. From whence it came no one knew, but all seemed of the opinion that it should be killed, which was done. It is believed that the reptile was in search of water and had crawled upon the building to meet the predicted rain.

The Pan Handle Company came to time one day last week and settled with Mr. Gowland for the killing of his daughter here July 4th. The amount agreed on by all was*two hundred and fifty dollars. Two hundred and fifty dollars more expended on the old death trap now would perhaps save them from having smother bill just like this to settle before snow flies, with some more strict instructions to their “kids” about

allowing bulky freight- to accumulate on their platforms. The company well knew’ Mr. Gowland had a good case or they would never have been so anxious to have it'settled. The elk with Mullen’s circus created quite a panic in and about the C. &I. k C. depot and livery -barns the night of the show here. It seems his keeper was leading the brute from the tent to the car when he became unmanageable and freeing himself from the keeper made things lively along the streets through which he passed as he occupied street, sidewalk and all. A number of women were scared so badly that it took two or three days to bring them back to their original color and one man was found next morning lying lengthwise on the wire of James’ hay fork m his livery barn. • Jack the Ripper.

MOROCCO.

Tell Pulver is back again to Morocco. J. D. Robertson was in Kentland Tuesday on business. Sam Robinson and family and Lawis Hays and family are fishing at the Kankakee. I. R. Kay and family, D.

The way they are to wrestle is to catch as catch can. Come Again.

From Kansas.

Editor Pilot— l was favored some time ago with a copy of your paper saying I was marked on your list for six months. I suppose one of my .many kind friends there thought to convert me to the new faith. Many thanks for good intentions but it is too late. I voted for Peter Cooper and was at the convention held at Winfieid that gave to the nation the first People's party principles. This seems to be an off year all over the count-ry-storms and drouth, with poor crops. In this part of Kansas the season was quite wet until the last half of July and crops are fair. Wheat is threshing out from 20 to 35 bushels per acre, oats 30 to 50. Corn is about made and will be a good crop. Potatoes and all kinds of vegetables are plenty and of good quality. But fruit—that is apples, peaches, plumbs and pears are very scarce and high in price. Apples picked off the ground bring SI.OO per bushel. Grapes will be a fair crop. Last spring everything started out in good shape; prices of all kind of stock advanced. Real estate began to change hands at better prices, but suddenly everything stopped, prices of all kinds of stock and grain went down, down, and real estate followed, and finally money disappeared. These times ard making converts of men here that we thought would never change their votes. They come to the old People’s men and ask questions about the finance question like school boys. Their papers have kept back the truth, so their readers know nothing but hard names for Mrs. Lease, Jerry Simpson and our governor, but calling people names, hasn’t helped them, and the voters begin to see and they •will again be shown up stronger' than ever Yours truly J. C. Weathers. jl Elk Falls, Kan.
