THE PEOPLE’S PILOT. § h o,m Is a Candidate. Remington, Ind., June 4, ’94. Ed. Pilot:—l have learned that the report is being circulated over the county that I am not going to make the race for the office of sheriff. I wish to inform the voters of Jasper county, that I am positively in the race and in it to stay. Very respectfully yours, Ellis Jones. More winter weather. Mrs. Dick Stone is seriously ill. Fred Phillips was in Chicago this week. The grocery stock of Tuteur Bros, was invoiced last week. Warren and Ira Washburn are home from Purdue University. Anyone wishing vaultscleaned please call on Harry Wiltshire. _Read the various, advertisements in this issue. They will do you good. Parke Wright is making some improvements in his undertaking establishment. Rensselaer will celebrate the glorious 4th. Make your arrangements accordingly. Will Tharp and Louie Wilcox rode over to Remington and return, last Sunday, on bicycles.

The Populists of this Senatorial district will meet at Goodland on next Friday, for the purpose of placing a ticket in the field. John D’Armand, of Tefft, was a caller at this office last Tuesday morning and while here subscribed for the best paper in the county. This county was well represented at the Populist convention of this congressional district, which was held at Logansport yesterday. The warm weather of the latter part of last week made the crops grow in nice style, but another slight cold snap on Tuesday did not help the case any. First communion services will be held at St. Augustine’s church next Sunday. This is quite an important event and a large attendance is expected from other towns.

Erastus Peacock, a well known citizen of this place, was elected to the honorable position of Grand Master-at-Arms at the grand lodge of K. of P. at Indianapolis this week. John Healy has opened a shoe shop in Uncle Charley Rhoades’ harness shop, and is now prepared to do all kinds of custom work. His terms are cash to all. If you need repairing done in first class style, give him a call and he will give you satisfaction.

The music furnished by the Rensselaer band last Wednesday, on the occasion of Memorial services, surely deserves special mention. If the citizens would only take a little more interest in this organization, we could have a band that we would all be proud of. As it is, it bids fair to rival any of the bands in surrounding towns.

A papei which should interest all thinking women, particularly mothers, is Mrs. Alzina Parsons Stevens’ discussion of “The Child, the Factory and the State” in the June Arena. Mrs. Stevens is the assistant Inspector of Factories of the State of Illinois, and she has all the facts at her fingers’ ends and knows what she is writing about. The picture she shows—a plain statement of statistics—of disease and misery and slave wages and insecure, employment should make some impression upon the minds of those who have had happy childhoods and strive to secure happiness for their own little ones.

We learn from the last issue of the Goodland Herald, that John Vinson and Columbus Powell, of Foresman, got into a wordy warfare Thursday of last week, when Powell drew a revol ver and snapped it several times at Vinson. Deputy Prosecuter Babcock, of this place, was called to the scene of action, and a warrant was issued for Powell, charging him with an assault with attempt to kill. The trial came off before Esq. Rich, at Foresman, Monday, and resulted in Powell’s acquittal. The glorious 4th of J uly will be celebrated at Parr, in great style. Able speakers will orate and there will be music and dancing, foot races, horse races, sack races and many other amusements of this character. The people of that place are determined to do the thing in a proper way.

Some thing wrong when you tire too easily. Some thing wrong when the skin is not clear and smooth. Some thing wrong when the Blood is impure. Everything right when you take DeWitt’s Sarsaparilla. It Recommends itself. A. F. Long & Co., Druggists.

Hon. A. G. Burkhart, candidate for Congress in the 9th district will speak Rt Good land on June 15th. He is considered one of the ablest speakers in that district and is sure of a large hearing on the above date. If you haven’t paid your subscription for this year, either come and see us or send it in. We need it and need it greatly, too.

.lordan Town<d>h> Convention.

The People’s party of Jordan township, Jasper county, Indiana. will meet at Egypt school house on Saturday, June 16, 1894, at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating a township ticket as follows: Trustee, assessor and justice of the peace. Let each one consider it his duty to be present. W. 11. Ritchey, D. McGlynn, Chairman. Secretary. Wo hear considerable complaint of the treatment the burial lots in Weston cemetery received at the hands of thoughtless persons on Memorial Day. This is not right and those who go there should take mo’re notice and not desecrate the beautiful surroundings in the cemetery. No doubt it would have been better had the exercises been held in the court house yard and then have gone to the cemetery, and these thoughtless acts would not havo been committed.

We have printed programs for the Epworth League convention of this district, which will be held here on Monday and Tuesday, June 25 and 26. There are thirty charges in this district and each chapter is entitled to four delegates, and if each chapter sends its quota there will be quite an attendance. A large number of visitors are also expected. and Rensselaer should do the proper thing by welcoming them, to show them we appreciate their coming. We are in receipt of the annual register of Purdue University for 1893-4 together with the scheme of study for 1894-5. It is a well prepared catalogue of that institution and copies of it can bo had by addressing Secretary Stanley Couler A. M., Ph. D.. Lafayette, Ind.

Mesdames Banes and Stewart and Miss Glen Porter were delegates to the Monticello Baptist S'. S. convention held at Mt. Zion and report a very provable meeting. There was an unusually large attendance. E. G. Jones, of Brook, was a pleasant caller at this office last Thursday. Binder twine at Sam Yeoman’s near the depot.

A man was in town last week with a very old game. He was going from house to house selling soap, 3 bars for a dollar and a set of dishes—64 pieces—to be delivered the following week. It is surprising how many women wanted the dishes. Those who insisted on paying upon the delivery of the dishes were not, permitted to try the virtues of the soap. The purchasers are also without the dishes. Yet they afe no more foolish than the men who pesist in paying Al for three sticks of candy.--Fowler Leader. The Goodland Herald seems to be fully appreciated by its live business men, from the following squib which appeared in its columns last week: “Although now printing four pages of the Herald at home, our advertising space is so crowded that we will he obliged to use an inside page for this purpose. People in Goodland have learned that this paper, as a local advertising medium, has no rival.” It might be a good example for our business men to follow.

Walter Blackburn Harte, whose writings in the New Eng land Magazine introduced his name to the reading public, con tributes to the June Arena a paPQJ on Boston's fashionable quarter, which is illustrated . with nine full-page photogarvures from photographic views lake especially for the purpose. Unlike most of Harte’s work, the article contains many figures but the liigures are pregm ?r with raillery and satire. B. F. FERGUSON is now piepared to make farm loans at 6.r per-cent. Interest per annum, coffimission as low as any one else. He does his own abstracting and can save you money there. Be sure and call. We can make your loans quickly. We make it a specialty. Thos.
