SLIGHTLY MIXED.

Are Some Things in the Gifford Drainage District, if Reports are True. In the matter of the Gifford drainage district with which our county commissioners have been “rasselin” with for some time, and which they chewed at Monday and Tuesday of last week, there seems to. be something loose somewhere. The records do not seem to full show nor explain what has been done or undone. In last week’s Republican there was an account of the proceedings as they were taken from the records, but we have it from reliable sources that it is not as is published in that paper, The article remarks that there were twenty persons who appeared before the commissioners and that their assessments had been reduced. Out of that number Leander Bringham, of Chicago, appeared for his daughters, Margaret Brandon and Mary C. Mason, and R. L. P. Massey appeared before the commissioners. Margaret J. Lewis also appeared in person, and that august body agreed to reduce her assessments if she would pay part cash down. Her name fails to appear in the proceedings published in the Republican. The above persons were the only ones who actually appeared before the board last week, notwithstanding the fact that the records show to the contrary. There is no such a man in Jasper county as Stephen Wyatt, although the Republican says there is.

The matter of the assessments being cut down was all fully arranged at least a week before the commissioners met, and they made a complete canvass of the drainage district and tried to compromise the matter in the interest of no one only Mr. Gifford, No one asked them to come, but they did, and on their own responsibility, too. Instead of working in the interest of the land owner and tax payers of the county, corporation gangs and individuals receive their undivided support. Is this right? Is it just? This calls to mind the old saying that “a public office is a public trust,” but it can be plainly seen at a glance that some of our county offices are an individual trust. Almost every petitioner was in favor of taking the case to the supreme court and part of them were here at the time trying to work up a bond for that purpose, but the commissioners decided the case to suit themselves. Such things as the above must have an ending some time, or if the work of the commissioners should continue as it has in the past our county will go into bankruptcy. It should stop and that pretty soon, too. Give us a fair and square administration.

One word describes it—“perfection.” We refer to De Witts Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles. A. F. Long & Co. Monon has a gun club with eighteen members. What’s the matter with Rensselaer sportsmen?

IT SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOUSE. J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharpsburg, Pa., says he will not be without Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, that it cured his wife who was threatened with Pneumonia after an attack of La Grippe, when various other remedies and several physicians had done her no good. Robert Barber, of Cooksport, Pa., Claims Dr. Kind’s New Discovery has done him more good than anything he ever used for Lung Trouble. Nothing like it. Try it. Free trial bottle at Meyer’s drug store. Large bottles 50c. and sl. Simon Fendig, of Wheatfield, was here last Friday on business and called on the Pilot.

Xew School Lawn. The state superintendent of public instruction has issued a statement to county superintendents on the supplemental school book law of 1893. In the revision of the course of study, the intermediate grammar has been placed in the sixth year, and forms the link between language and technical grammar. The work in advanced geography has been arranged for continuous study in three lines—mathematical, physical and political. The superintendent will not, hereafter, consider any appeals from teachers unless they are accompanied by a bond of 125 or SSO.

Circuit Court.

The October term of the Jasper circuit court opened last Monday with Judge Wiley in the chair of justice. It is expected that there will indeed be a very light docket. One of the principal cases came up last Tuesday in the cause Sarah A. Ritchey vs Wilmot H. Ritchey for divorce. The defendant made no fight against the case but simply let the plaintiff have the decision as she wanted it. He had been charged of cruel and inhuman treatment, but owing to the absence of the defandant at the trial, this part of it was handled very lightly. The decision in the case was that the plaintiff was granted a divorce, together with the custody of their three-year-old child, and SI,OOO alimony, to be paid in installments of SIOO per year until paid. STATE CASES. State vs Sherman Richards, two cases, for frequenting house of ill fame. Dismissed. State vs Fred Cann, gambling. Dismissed. State against Wm. Ducker, selling liquor to minor. Dismissed, all the above defendents had left the county, consequently cases were dismissed. State vs Chas. Armstrong, selling liquor to minors. Plead guilty and fined S2O for each charge, There were six charges against him, three of which he plead guilty to and the remainder were dismissed.

CIVIL CASES. Morlan v. Morlan, in partition, land reported sold by commissioners and proceeds divided. Frank H. Gardner vs. Abe Halleck, damages. Dismissed at cost of plaintiff. Jennie C. Bartholomew vs. Orlanthe Daugherty, partition. Land sold and proceeds divided. Dismissed. Mary C. Tolles vs. Albert C. Tolles, divorce. Parties reconsidered matters and case dismissed. Benj. J. Gifford vs. Andrew Arnold, ditching contract. Dismissed at plaintiff’s cost. Benj. J. Gifford vs. Thos. J. Tanner et al. Case same as above with same decision, Town of Remington vs. Mary A. Wilson et al. Decree quieting title,in plaintiff.

James T. Randle vs. Samuel Gray et al. Decision to quiet title in plaintiff. Arthur E. Linebach vs. Augusta Linebach. Divorce. Both parties agreed to agree and the case was dismissed. Wm. B. Austin vs. John Wiseman et al. Plaintiff asks for change of venue. John L. Allman, adm’r. vs. Jasper County. Damages. Plaintiff asks for change of venue. Thos. Thompson vs. John H. Query et al. Suit on note. Case settled and dismissed. Mary C. Hopkins vs. M. Y. Slaughter, suit on note. Judgment for plaintiff for $395.50 and costs. B. F. Ferguson vs. Thomas Burns. Moved for change of venue by plaintiff. Wm. McNeil vs. Rebecca Graves, et al, note. Judgment for plaintiff for $95.17 and costs. John Makeever vs. Ephriam Sayers, suit on note.

Complaint comes from Virgie that our subscribers there do not receive the Pilot until Monday of the week following the publication. The paper is placed r in the post office here on Thursday afternoon and there is no reason why they should not reach their destination on Friday or Saturday. N. W. Reeves has been appointed permanent express agent here, superceding Jesse Grubb, and Frank Maloy, temporary. Two applications were in for the place here and the preference of course was given to the oldest man. Mr. Maloy will continue on for a short time as Mr. Reev’s assistant. Wm. M. Kennedy died at his home in Walker township on Thursday of last week of Bright’s disease, and his funeral occurred on the following day. He was well known in all parts of the county.
