THE SILVER QUESTION

Something to be Read by evety 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. We have quite a number of delinquent subsribers on our books. In order to induce them to pay up, and to those Who afe in the habit of letting 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 lai’ge 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 26, 1894.

We have a set of young ladies, Who are just budding forth into society, attd Who are doing some very unbecoming things, One of the latest which they hftvd attached themselves to, is the abominable practice of smoking cigarettes, They do it because they think it & Sfflttrt thing. It is bad enough to sed boy* ttfid men sucking at such things, but when girls take it up it makes us blush for them. Parents, are you aware of these practices your daughters are falling into? If not, you had better investigate. Not long since, we witnessed a couple of these young “bloods” puffing away for dear life on these filthy things. Be ashamed of yourselves, girls. On February Bth, March Bth, April 9th, the Monon Route will sell tickets at one first class limited fare for the round trip, to all points in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, and to points in Georgia as far east as Augusta.

The Monon will sell excursion tickets to New Orleans and Mobile at the rate of $23.40 for the round trip, January 29th to February 4th inclusive, good returning February 28th.

Readers of reform literature who desire something interesting of this nature should send to the American Nonconformist and get a copy of Stockwell’s “Bad Boy,” and also a copy of Stockwell’s “Government Ownership of Railroads.” The arguments in both these pamphlets are of the most convincing nature and written in a style that makes the ideas as plain as a nose on a man’s face. The price of these pamphlets is ten cents each.

Dr. Patten, the lecturer who was with the Kickapoo Medicine Co., presented us with a batch of his Mexican Pinon soap one day last week. He probably thought we were in need of something of the kind. We have used it according to directions, and we can freely say that we have never a better kind of that article than his soap. He had quite a sale of it during their stay here. The Makeever House took 100 cakes of it.

Mary Rhodes, the little girl who won the gold ring given by the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co., as a prize to the prettiest baby in the audience, is the three year old daughter of Rev. J. C. Rhodes, of Chicago, former pastor of the First Baptist church of this place, and was visiting Mrs. C. B. Steward, last week.

The government should not be obliged to borrow money in a time of peace for the payment of its ordinary expenses; but that is the present situation, and Democratic rule is the only logical and reasonable explanation. —Globe Democrat.

His mother told him that if he went out he would most certainly fall and break his neck. In the night a thaw set in, and the next morning, when Fred went to tin door, he shouted joyfully. to his mother: “Mamma, I can go out now, for the danger of breaking my neck is all melted off. 1 ’ The People’s Pilot, at Rensselaer, announces to its readers that hereafter the price of the paper for one year not in advance will be $1.25, otherwise it remains at the old price.

In blanketing horses, a writer in the Stockman thinks it is a bad plan to throw a blanket on a horse immediately on stopping, while he is wet with prespiration, for then the blanket becomes wet, and he has ah icy covering; but, he says, let them dry off a little before blanketing.
