ATTENTION, SUBCRIBERS.

Soin el hi ng to be Read by every Subscriber to the Pilot. We desire to make an announcement, and we want each and every person who is a subscriber to this paper to carefully peruse the same. e have quite a number of delinquent subsribers on our books. In order to in-’ duce them up, and to those who are in the habit of Jetting their subscriptions run until the end of the year before paying it. we have decided to raise the price of subsreiption to the Pilot to $1.25. To those who will pay the year in advance, the old price SI.OO will still be given. But if you do not pay in advance the price of the Pilot is $1.25 per year. This means a great deal to us. We now have near 1,000 subscribers and if

each and every one pays up promptly, it means near SIOOO a year to the paper and will go a long ways towards helping to pay the expenses of the concern. As it is, there is a large number who are delinquent from one to two years, and we would be under many obligations to them if they would call and settle. Hoping this change will meet your approbation we would be pleased to see you call and help swell our treasury. Pilot Pub. Co.

RENSSELAER. IND, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1894.

The Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co. is still with us. Good houses greet the performance each night. One of the features of the company is Harrisoh, the male soprano. His work is the best ever seen here, andfhe is sure of two or three recalls every night. The remainder oi the company is first class in every particular. We might addihere that Healy & Biglow, the proprietors of the Kickapoo remedies, is one of the largest patent medicine firms in the world, and pay out every year, a fortune for advertiseing. Their companies are found all over America. Australia, England and other countries. They have more than ninety companies on the road at the present time. The county commissioners and Mr. J. D. Vurpillat, ex-county treasurer, reached a settlement last Wednesday, Mr. Vurpillat consenting to refund the sum of $941.50 to the county. Complaint was made against the extreasurer at the last term of commissioners’ court that he had fraudulently received $1,900 from the county by paying county orders and failing to mark them paid, and collecting interest on them. Mr. Vurpillat claims that he had used his own private funds to pay county orders when there was no money in the county treasury.—Winamac Dem. Journal.

Mary, wife of Jerry Shea, died at their home about three miles northwest of Rensselaer on last Monday morning at 1 o’clock. The cause of her death was tuberculosis. The funeral services occurred on Tuesday at the Catholic church. The interment followed at the Catholic cemetery, south of St. Joseph’s College.

Speaking for ourselves, we are always glad to pick up the Chicago Express, now edited by Henry Vincent, for the pointers it furnishes bearing directly upon our movement. We have secured a clubbing rate that will save our friends money by taking the Express with the Pilot.

Parties desiring farm loans will consult their own interests by calling on or writing to F. J. Sears & Co., at the Citizens’ State Bank, Rensselaer, Ind. Their terms cannot be beaten and the commissions charged are low.

Dr. I. B. Washburn, the optician, handles the celebrated Trolley’s Kohinoor eye glasses, the best made. Attention is called to the ad, “See Again as in Youth,” in another place in this paper. Parcels & Wade are running three chairs now. No more waiting. Can accommodate all that come.

One of the daintiest of the New Year calendars is that issued by the proprietors of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It will fully satisfy every expectation as to beauty and utility. “Sweet Sixteen” is the head of a beautiful girl, the lovely picture being lithographed in many delicate colors. The pad harmonizes with the exquisite array of color above, while the dates are easily read. Hood’s Calendar may be obtained of your druggist or by sending 6 cents in stamps for one or 10 cents for two, to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. Circuit court, for this term, is of little consequence, there being very little business transacted, so far. Judge Wiley is at home, on account of being indisposed, and not able to attend to business. Prosecutor Brown acted in his stead on Monday and Tuesday of this week, and disposed of a few minor cases. There has not been a single jury trial, allthough the jury was called for Monday and Tuesday. There will be no grand jury this term. To sum it up, this is the lightest January term known for several years.

A special passenger train going to Chicago direct from Louisville passed over the Monon last Monday, and it is possible that the fastest time ever made on the road before was made by this train. It was just sixteen minutes coming from Monon to Rensselaer. From Monon to Lowell, a distance of 43 3-10 miles, it made the run in just 38 minutes, making but two stops in that distance. The train was carrying a show company to Chicago from Louisville. The injunction of the Western Union Telegraph Company against the auditors and treasurers of the counties in which they have property to enjoin them from collecting the taxes of 1893, as assessed by the state board of tax commissioners, came up in the Marion Circuit court, Indianapolis, Tuesday, and. bn demurrer, went to the Supreme court. Judge Brown sustained the demurrer of the defendants and the plaintiff appealed to the Supreme court.

The Columbian Literary Society, of St. Joseph’s College, presented “Sebastian, or a Roman Martyr,” at the Opera House, on last Wednesday evening, to a good audience. The drama was nicely presented, and seemed to be appreciated by all those present. The society goes to Remington next week to give the play there. We commend them to the citizens of that place, and they are deserving of a good house.

One thing about the Chicago Express that newspaper readers enjoy, it deals out its opinions with absolute fearlessness, and whether at first you agree with it or not, the directness with which questions are handled in its columns gives courage to the struggling populist, where nothing else will. Come in and order it, we have a club rate that will save you money. Willis Pruett, an old and respected citizen, died at his home here in Rensselaer, on Thursday of last week, and was buried the following day at the Weston cemetery. Mr. Pruett had long been a resident of this county. The cause of his death was dropsy. ■ The funeral services were held at the home of the deceased, by Rev. R. D. Utter. Another change in the Sayler Milling Co. Alf. Collins has purchased John Sayler’s interest in that concern. Alf can now furnish the farmers with tools to raise wheat and machinery for converting it into flour after it has matured.

John Healy and wife are proud of the arrival of a brand new girl at their home. The wrinkles in “Judge’s” face are more numerous, and his hair looks grayer since the arrival of his grand-daughter. The pleasant weather during the pass two week was used to a pretty good advantage by some of the farmers. They have been plowing notwithstanding it is mid-winter. The K. of P., of Medaryville, gave an oyster supper a few nights ago, which netted them SSO.

Perhaps never in the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in public favor as the Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past two years it has, by adopting progressive methods and injecting push and enterprise in all its departments forced itself into the very front rank of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is beyond question. The publisher during this time, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense nor effort to attain his ideal—and he has suceeded. Uncompromisingly Republican on all National issues. The Inter Ocean does battle for what it believes to be the true faith in a manner that at once commands the attention of the public and respect of all. It can be recommended to those whd desire a clean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper.

There are but few papers in this section of the country that can boast of such an extraordinary interesting feature as letters from S. E. Sparling. Everybody in this part of the county knows Sam and his ability to write. You should read his letters and thereby gain a great deal of knowledge of life in foreign countries, that you will fail to find anywhere else. The quarterly meeting of the County Farmers’ Alliance occurred at the Makeever House last Saturday, and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Pres., Frank Welsh; Vice Pres., John Garriott; Sec. and Treas., W. H. Cain; Lecturer, John Stillman.

The students of St. Joseph’s College, rendered the historical drama, “Christopher Columbus, or the Discovery of America,” to a large audience in the auditorium of the college on Thursday of last week. It was excellently given and was delightful treat for the auditors. If you are taking active part in your literary debates this winter, about the first thing to do is to secure the Chicago Express and be fortified with very needful resources, and that’s what the Express is good for. See our club rates.

The readers of this paper, especially the farmers, will do well to read the article in another column, under the head of “An Open Letter.” It is writen by a farmer who well knows the subject upon which he speaks. The ladies of the Christian church will give a social at the home of Miss Jennie Mil>”. this evening. AH are invited to attend. An admission fee of 5 cents will be charged. Supper 7 cents. A pleasant masquerade party was given at the home of Vai Seib, on Friday evening of last week. Noble J. York, of Monon, was here the fore part of the week.

There are but few papers n the country that can rake open the festering cussedness of old party schemers equal to the Chicago Express. If you are not a subscriber send for a sample copy then let us order it for you. Taken with the Pilot it will cost you *1,40 for both. Johnß. Kolhoff and Miss Catharine Meinbrock were united in marriage at the Catholic church, on last Wednesday, by Father Stanislaus. The bride is the daughter of John Meinbrock, a well-to-do farmer of this township. The young couple has the best wishes of the Pilot. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Presbyterian and Christian church will hold a union meeting at the latter place next Sunday evening, Jan. 14, at 6 p. m. Everybody invited to attend this meeting.'

McCoy had a lively runaway last Sunday morning. The only damage done was the breaking of the shaft of buggy. The occupants were thrown out b'crt none were injured. We have added a new regular correspondent to our list. We will now have regular letters from Remington, which, no doubt, will interest our large list of subscribers at that place. Mrs. R. C.
