THE PEOPLE’S PILOT. Lucky Fiill Monon Track-walker Saves the MidNight Train AT PLEASANT RIDGE! • Unknown Devil* Wedge Rocks Into the Switch Frog and Pile Stone* on the Track. HANGING TOO GOOD! For Those Who Did the Dastardly V.’orlt, The Full Particulars of what Might Have Been an Awful Catastrophe. What might have proven a disasterous wreck on the Monon last Tuesday night, was averted by 4he timely discovery of a large pile of rocks placed on the track, at Pleasant Ridge, by track walker Moore. Rocks were wedged into the frogs at the switch and a great pile was placed on the track. The finding of this obstruction occured just before the 11 o’clock train passed down the read, and as to the reason why such a thing was done none can tell. Just after Mr. Moore had made the discovery, be, of course started to remove the obstruction at once. He had thrown off several of the large stones, when he was suddenly accosted by four villianous looking men, who tried to prevent his further work of removing them. He saw there would be trouble when one of them said “We’ll show you how to walk track dowm here.” Mr. Moore saw he was no comparison to these four fellows and hastily took refuge behind some box cars on the side track. The men still remained about the obstruction as if to prevent his furthur work of removing it, so he ran up into the village and aroused two or three of the residents, who went with him back to the switch. They found the men had gone, and at once set to work to get the rocks off of the - track and loosen those driven into the frogs. There is no clue as to who the parties were that did this dastardly work. They should be found out, if possible, and be given a full sentence for the contemplation of such a criminal deed. Ex-Secretary of State Chas. F» Griffin, of Hammond has withdrawn his name as the Republican candidate for Congress in this district. The names of Judge E. P. Hammond, of this county, M. M. Towle, of Hammond, E. D. Crunpacker, of Valparaiso and W. T. Wilson, of Logansport, are prominently mentioned for the place.

We take the pains to tell you about the production of that world famed play, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” at the opera house, tomorrow evening. It will be a treat, because it will be rendered by a capable company of actors. We mention a few: Mr. W. L. Swift, as “Gumption Cute;” Mr. John Hartwell, as “Uncle Tom,” both formerly of Kuscoe & Swift's “LTicle Tom” Co.; Mr. Edwin Southers, as “Topsy;” Mr. Alphonso Phillips, as “Geo. Harris;” Mr. Frank Maloy, as “Marks;” Mr. Fred Phillips as “Simon LeGree;” Mr. Chas. Blue, as “Geo. Shelby,” and Miss True George, as “Little Eva.” The remainder of the caste is equally as good in every particular. We would not do the company justice if we should fail to mention the two trained thoroughbred Siberian blood hounds, “Nina” and “Skates,” which have had two years experience with some of the best “Uncle Tom” companies that have been on the road. Il will be a great show and you want to see it. You can get reserved seats at Long’s drug store. The first and second nines from Monticello came up to Rensselaer last Friday and played our first and second base ball nines. The game between the second nines resulted in favor of Monticello by a score of 23 to 15 and was a very interesting game. It seemed as if the game between the first - nines was strictly for “blood,” for both clubs seemed scared of their own material and ordered several insallments of foreign talent and the result was very disasterous for Monticello. It was, by far, the best game played here this year. The score was as follows: 12345 6 7 8 !> Rensselaer 5 1 0 3 1 0 4 0 *—l4 Monticello 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0— 3 George Dunn, of Dunville, has been spending a few days here among his old school fellows and friends. George is one of our Rensselaer high school graduates. He is now a student of DePauw and will next year be a member of that University’s senior class, He seems to stand well in college as he is a member of one of the greek letter fraternities and is also President of the Indiana State Oratorical Association. Ray Thompson has become a desciple of Vulcan and can now be seen at the flaming forge, in Glazebrook’s blacksmith shop “swinging his heavy sledge with measured beat and slow.” This young man is not afraid of work. John Paxton is looking for the scamp that stole his bicycle a few nights ago. Mr. Paxton had it in his woodshed and it looks as if the thief knew about it and made off with it.

Dal Yeoman has purchased a half interest in the mercantile business of I. J. Porter. Benhart Fendig has taken Art Catts’ place with Warner & Shead.

Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering. He says: “Last Summer 1 had a> very severe attack of flux. [ tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle, and received almost immediate relief. 1 continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person suffering with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine ill existence. ’ 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. Mr. Ruikitsu Tsugani-, a native of Japan, and a graduate of the school of law at DePauw University, will lecture in the opera house, on Tuesday evening, Aug. 7, on the manners and customs of his people, their religious belief concerning the origin and destiny or the human soul. He will also speak of tho great trouble existing between his country and China. He will also present forty views taken in her native country. The entertainment will dose with a Japanese wedding, in which five characters are used all dressed in native costumes. The Southerns-Price Co. will play “Faust” in Goodland next Monday night, and if they get the patronage they should have, the house will be crowded. We have no hesitancy in recommending these people to our Goodland friends, and they are deserving of a large audience. The universal verdict of all who have heard them in this great play, is that it is the best company that has ever visited this section of the state. Give them a full house. They played at Brook last Wednesday night to a full house. Tho Epworth Lorgue of Independence church, Gillam township, will give a lawn social at Independence grove, Saturday i evening, Aug. 11th.

The opera house was comfortably tilled last Friday evening, tn witness the presentation of “Robinson Crusoe,” by the Southers-Price Qp., assisted by our best local talent. Those who were privileged to attend speak in tho highest terms of the entertainment. The Healy Orchestra was a feature and they rendered some pleasing novelties in their usual good style. We are in receipt c>f a cotnpli mentary ticket to the Remington Fair, which occurs Aug. 29, 29, 30, 31. It is useless for us t i t ike a large up:. ■ > to fell you of its merits. It is a Jasper county organizat ion which should be sufficient evidence to v ou that it will pay you to spend at least one day with them. Don’t forget tho date. B. F. Ferguson, tv: jthor with his family, ■were driving home from Vaughn church, last Friday afternoon, when they saw a rattlesnake at the side of the road. His snakeship was quickly dispatched by B. F. and tho latter now carries as a memento tho rattles of tho vontile. A Some low dowm critter made a raid on the chicken yard of County Clerk Coover last Monday night and carried off some of his best stock. We advise tho thief to stay away from that place in tne future, if he wants to save trouble. Some fellow who had run short on cigars effected an entrance in the rear of. El Parcels’ barber shop last Sunday night and stole about 20) cigars. There wore sixty cents in the cash regester which he took with him also. Jasper county is certainly to lie complimented on tho excellent prospect for crops this year. A trip of 11') miles down the Monon road shows no better crops than we have right here in old Jasper. It woul I add to the appearance of the Halloran corner, if that old sheet iron and other miscellaneous truck was removed. It isn’t a very pleasant object to the eyes of visitors. Elder J. L. Brady left for his home in Pennsylvania last Sunday night and wilt remain there for a couple of weeks, visiting relatives and friends. Elder Clymer accompanied him. Rev. John O.
