Don’t Overlook Tlilm. We have a word to say to all those who like to ride. free horses. A few weeks ago an entertainment by home talent was arranged for, and the manager rushed up to this office and had us to give them a free puff, as is customary. We did it and asked nothing for it, because it was for the benefit of home folks. We also took the liberty to give them additional free notices the next week. Then the manager came to us and got prices, etc., on poster and other work. That was the last of it. All the work he had done was got out at another newspaper office in this place, and which had never even mentioned the existence of their entertainment. The week of the entertainment, the columns of that paper were filled with local notices of the event, in which one member of the company, who at the best was but a second class "ham,” was styled "an actor of almost national reputation.” No notices appeared in this paper. Simply ignored is placing it mildly. Of course that may be all right and then it may not. Now, what we want to say is this: Hereafter we will not publish any free notices of home entertainments. If you want to advertise it, come up and do so like business men do. and pay for it. In that way we ask no courtesies.« If the paper benefits you, pay for it. This is not the first time this has occurred. but we will say it shall be the last. One time during a committee meeting of a union church entertainment some of the lady leaders, whose husbands are prominent Republicans, got up and said that inasmuch as the Pilot did not agree with them in politics, the work should be given to a certain other paper, and this was gone. And after the entertainment one of the ladies expressed her wonderment that no notice had been taken of their entertainment by this paper. She was quickly enlightened by 4he editor. If you think that this paper is being run simply for fun, that is where you are mistaken We will not crowd out other interesting matter for the benefit of some entertainment witji free notices. If it is for the purpose of making money it can pay for its advertising. Please bear this in mind.

Hon. A. C. Capron, judge of the Fulton circuit court. Saturday rendered a decision to the effect that all paid-up stock issued by building and loan associations in Indiana, as we 1 ’ rs installment stock, is exemp irom taxation under section 89 <>£ the acts <?f 1891. This decision is adverse to the opinion of the attorney general and the finding of the state board of tax commissioners. Smoke the Mendoza cigar For sale everywhere.

Marriage License*. The following persons have been granted marriage licenses since our last report: Charles Hoile, Elizabeth Bullinger. George C. Cooper. Amy D. A. Rice. Sikke Ettena. Zintji Sipkcna. We have often wondered why it is that people, and especially ladies, will go to the city and witness an evening’s performance of some burlesque or opera company, which is especially conspicuous for the abbreviated costumes of the performei s, or they wIH even go to a circus a, home and see the scantily clad men and women, yet when a show comes to the home opera house, and in any way in the least advertise to bo something similar, they shun it as if it were poison. This was readily shown at the show here the first of the week. Although the shcAv was a bore yet there was nothing said or done that was in the least out of the way except the lithographs which they had about town advertising the com pany.

The tax question is now before the supreme court, and the people are anxiously awaiting the result of its decision. The validity of taxes on nearly $200.000,000 of property is at stake, and, should the railroads succeed. the taxes now assessed against them can not be collected. Thus far in the circuit court of Marion county and the supreme court of Indiana the state has won. The railroads have taken the cases to the supreme court of the United States because, they say, the Indiana, tax laws violate the United States, in that the law gives them no notice or hearing; discriminates against them and in favor of all other tax-payers, and interferes with interstate commerce. The state denies the position of the railroads, and it is upon these questions that ar gument is to be heard by the supreme court of the United States.

Elder J. L. Brady, of the Christian church, was in Monti cello, last Wednesday, where h preached the funeral sermon r» John Alfred Spar, the eleve. year old son nf Mrs. Reineer, o that place.
