GOODLAND. Oats 24@27c. Corn 33@34c. Butter 27@30c. Butterine 25c. Farmers are husking corn. Mrs. J. W. Oswald visited at Wabash last week. Mr. and Mrs. Butler are at the White City this week. The Central House is receiving a new coat of paint. Mrs. Bockotno was quite sick the latter part of last week. A social club has been organized in Goodland. Who is the patentee?

Au interesting concert was given at McCurry's Hall on Wednesday evening. Elmer- Bringham has gone to the Cherokee country to look alter some land interests. The C. & I. C. announces one cent a mile to Chicago October 20th. That’s nothing. The Monon and Big Four beats this <every day the sun rises. When Prosecutor Brown gets a.httleXartlwr into the case of Condon v, Goodland he may learn that Poland’s cow was hot tied in the corporation limits of Goodland at all. A new corn husking machine, is gladdening the hearts of the j farmers over in Benton bounty. It’s tor husking shook corn and is at work on Thos. Gratner’s place southeast of town. Mrs Lumsdon, of Chicago, 'was in town a few hours one'day last week, the guest of Mr. D. M;ihoney. Mrs. L. has been a property owner of GoodVand for about twenty years, but never seen her possessions until a few ■days ago.

'our school enumeration last summr showed more than four ‘hundred school children within the corporation limits, while thje Hirst month of school thh ’clYroll•ment shows but -27-1. This shows that there -are about 130 or 140 ’ChiMren who do not go to school. The gauib of base ball between Yhe business (?) men of Kentland l tiwd Goodland, played at this place last Friday, resulted in a glorious victory Tor the home club. Two things are very evident. One is that Kerivkwd don’t know how to treat A base ball club when they 'go there to play ball. And Another is they can play ball better after the son sinks behind the western lx?r xoh, Score 15 to 23. A couple of boys over in Benton county tried the experiment of shooting at an old can alongside of the road conta’nyUg dynamite that had been used in blasting rock. The result was very satisfactory so far as the shot was concerned, for it hit the can plump, but was very disastrous to the boys. Both were severely, but not fatally hurt by pieces of old scraper that lay near and pieces of the can. It is a question in the minds of the boys whether all the scraper has come down yet or not. Dr. Lovett was called to attend the injured boys and reports them ■doing well.

The Midway Plaisance people Save our town another entertainment one day last week. This time the row and arrest was precipitated by a couple of the inhabitants of the strange village. A Mrs. Tubarty had one Mrs. James Currens arrested for calling her bad names, and that she was afraid Mrs. C. would at some future time take her life. Mrs. C. was arraigned before Esq. Hamlin, whereupon Mrs. Tnberty swore she could whip a whole . regiment of Curtens. After five or six hours of deliberation by twelve tried and true •men, they acquitted the defendant, while the jury lingered near •break of day with only a glass of cold water and one sack of pop corn to stay their stomachs. A braying ass at Brook that has got an idea that he is employed to do the wind work for ••all the ex soldiers of this county, •assisted by the editor of the Kentland Enterprise, takes us to task for saying, a few weeks ago, that the badges worn at the reunion bore a lie upon their face. This blathering romancer at Brook, who is as ignorant of human nature as he is of human history, knows that in the mind of the American patriot no S. of V. organization will ever take the place of those who bore the blunt of battle and made this republic the grandest the sun ever shown on. Only in the minds of such men as the coffee cooler at Brook do such ideas e .er have a place. And only by i consistences as he and the En 4P»rprise man ® wires are the ex

soldiers made to take a back seat and give to those that are only sons of veterans places of honor in a county reunion. We can only repeat what we said before, that those badges worn upon that occasion bore upon their face an infamous lie, called so by all honest men* who wore the

NUBBIN RIDGE.

The business of this place has no doubt been badly injured by the World’s Fair. People who. have gone to Chicago to attend this great show, usually laid in a supply of dry goods, clothing, shoes, etc, while they were there, and invariably paying out the cash for them. Then they will come home and ask our merchants for time on articles they want to purchase. Is this right? We say no. The business men here buy your produce and other things you have to sell, and then you will turn right around and spend your cash somewhere else, when you should have dealt with your home merchant. We are almost positive that you can do as well by trading at home as by patronizing foreign houses. They are one among us and should be recognized as such. Manager Eger is booking some first class attractions for his opera house during the coming season. The next company to appear here is Duncan 'Clark's specialty combination, which is a first class attraction in every way. and especially to the bald heads.

The population of this county has been increased as follows during the past few days: Born to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jasper, of Barkley, a son; to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Webb, of Barkley, a son; to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Martin, of Rensselaer, a boy. Several perse mTTiave taken advantage of our newspaper offer we speak of on another page. Two papers for the price of one. Call and get sample copies. The attendance at the World's Fair does not seem to diminish any in the least. Up to the present time over 18,000,000 persons have visited 'h ig great , show.

The Plummer Case Reversed.

The case of the State vs Jackson Plummer, which was tried in the Benton circuit court last November term, has been reversed. and Plummer, who has served nearly one year of his fifteen year sentence for killing marshal Dorn, of Kentland, will be set at liberty. The opinion was rendered by Judge McCabe in substance is as follows: A town marshal’ is not author teed to arrest th all Cashs for misdemeanor Without a wahtont. He can only arrest for such ’offenses without U Warrant Whbn the otfense is Vottiinitted in his presence br sight. 2. When sUbh marshal stepped up behind a citizen and without requeslitog him to submit to arrest or informing him that he desired to arrest him, without any provoew tion or resistance on the past of the citizen struck him on the head with a billy, the officer wa& & IreSspas'ser in doing ho and was guilty bf an Aggravating assault and battery which gave the citizen a clear right to defend himself even to the taking' of the life of the assailant.— Fowler RevteW. &ome tobacco dealers were indicted by the grand jury at Kentland, a few days ago, and it to- 1 suited in their having to pay the penalties attafh’eA to selling to boys Cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco. That’s right. Some of our merchants had better be careful, for not a day passes but what you can see some “kid” with a package of cigarettes or a plug of tobacco, and hfe surely must have bought it soffit place.'

Marriage Lieenses.

following person's have been granted marriage licenses since our last report: Lewis A. Hoppe to Mary M. Nagle.

Our attention has been called to a certain married man in this town who certainly spends too much time in his admiration for one of our young unmarried ladies who stands well in society. He has repeatedly been seen in her company after dark. If it becomes necessary we shall expose him to the "public, but at present withhold all names, with the hope that both of them may see the error of their w 7 ays. Reuben Dickinson, John and George Havens, all substantial supporters of the Pilot, made this office a friendly call one day last week, and it would please us if all the subscribers and friends of the paper would call so that we may know who we are dealing with, and also that we may become better acquainted. We are always pleased to meet you, so come in and see us.

Dr. Man-O-Wa, the Indian doctor, was here last Wednesday, and his rooms at the Makeever House were crowded the whole of his stay. He seems to be fairer in his treatment than most doctors, and tells you just what he can do and nothing else. That is certainly fair enough and our readers are beginning to believe it. Go and see him when he visits this place again. It is said that there will be no more cheap rates to the World’s Fair over the Monon from the fact that it has all the business it can properly handle. Their entire passenger equipment is now in use, and that accounts for no further reduction in the rates, except that of $2.50 for round trip. John Reynolds came home from St. Louis this week. He remained only a short time and left for the east, and will spend a greater portion of the time in Baltimore, Guttenburg and other racing points the coming winter. Mrs. Lecklider has just returned from the city with a fine line of millinery. Go and see those beautiful Plato hats. She will have another opening October 26th, 27th and 28th. Please » call.

Wallace Murray, of Barkley towriship, unearthed quite a curiosity in the Moody swamp a few days ago. This relic appears in the shape of a pair of elk’s antlers of large proportion. They measure three feet in length and are in a good state of preservation. They were still attached to the skull bone when found. It is impossible to state how long these have lain hidden from view, but we should feel safe in saying, not less than sixty or seventy-five years. Mr. Murray values them highly as an old relic of the by gone pioneer days when animals of this kind roamed our fields. Fred, the 11-year old son of Ed Parcells, went hunting last Saturday afternoon, with a son of Jas. Thompson, and as they were returning home, about five o’clock, they were shooting at spots and marks along the way. When near town, the Thompson boy had gone ahead to fix up a target, when in some manner the gun which young Parcells held went off, the bullet entering the foot, between the third and fourth toes. The rifle was a 22 calibre, and the boy is now laid up with a rather severe wound. Matilda Kenton, wife of Elmer Kenton, who lives about six miles south of town, died last Sunday evening of consumption. She had been sick in bed about six weeks at the time of her death. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs, George Robinson, of Hanging Grove township. The deceased was buried last Tuesday at 11 o’clock, at the Osborne school house, in Hanging grove township. E. D. Gambel, of Peru, the old veteran book agent, is in town once again, representing the well known publishing house of P. F. Collier, of New York. He is making a specialty of J. Fenimore Cooper’s works, which he sells on installments of SI.OO per month.

The cloak opening at the Chicago Bargain Store Wednesday, November Ist, will be conducted by a young gentleman representing the largest house in Chicago and he will make special low prices for the one day only. AU that honesty, experience and skill can do to produce a perfect pill, has been employed in making De Witt’s Little Early Risers. The result is a specific for sick headache, biliousness and constipation. A. F. Long Co,
