Brother William of the college farm narrowly escaped having his horse run away Saturday morning while hitched to a weight on Washington street, from being frightened by a man at the top of a telephone pole. It appears that the Mr. Yeager who stole Albert Overton’s wheel about 10 days ago is a sort of high-flyer, as a letter from his father, a reputable hotel man of Decatur, would indicate. It is probable that Mr. Yeager sr. will pay for the wheel, and thus attempt to keep his blooming son from the penitentiary.

half failed to make any preceptable difference with it. The brick work on Kent’s new hotel is being pushed rapidly. The contract calls for its completion by Sept. 1. For some unknown reason our baseball team did not go to Watseka, as stated by us they would do last Wednesday. Quite a number of our young people drove over to Remington Sunday. Whatwould neighboring towns think of a Fourth of July committeeman that would present a a bill, and insist on its payment, for services rendered in posting bills, that he and all of his might have a good time? Such a case our committee found a few days ago in settling up Fourth of July expenses. The Panhandle railroad company is now connecting their tracks between this place and Kentland. It had all been laid some three or four years ago west from Logansport and east from the state line but about five miles. John Hodshier of Rensselaer, is laying brick on the M. B. church.
Mr. Warren Wilson wife left here Friday for their homo in Chicago after a three weeks’ visit with his mother. Warren was born and raised in Goodland and naturally has a warm place in the hearts of our citizens. D. Mahoney, for sixteen years section foreman of,the Panhandle at this place, but now superin terdent of sidings at Logansport. was in town Saturday. Mr. Gilson, living about eight miles south-east of this place, had his residence struck by lightning one night last week and damaged to the extent of S3OO. Every dish and mirror in the house was broken. Considerable scare was created last week by the report that a case of small pox had developed at Mr. Flickerstine's, five miles north of town. It is a small child and only.has a light attack of veroloid. The M. E. church quarterly meeting will be held at this place next Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Wilson, presiding elder, is expected to be present. SOUTHEAST MARION. S. E. Marion, July 24.—The
threshing machine is heard in various direction. M. Y. Slaughter, John Pennwright, Geo. Hanens, and Grant Daily have threshed. Oats have yielded from 15 to 25 bushels per acre; wheat 5 to 6 bushels. < Corn is looking well through this locality—has had but very little of the late rains. A coilple of men from Montgomery county were in this vicinity Tuesday looking for farms to rent. John Evans has leturned from his trjp to Montgomery county where he has been harvesting a crop. He had 70 acres of wheat which yielded 250 bushels. He has now closed up all his affairs in that county and can be counted a permanent resident of Jasper, where he has a fine farm and new house.
The Hello Wires.
About 20 men are now engaged stringing telephone wire, which will all be up in three weeks at the outside, by which time the system will be ready for use. There will be about eighth-five subscribers at the commencement. The rate for private use is $1 per month; for business houses 12. It is- not at} automatic switch, as at first proposed, but a regular “hello central” system. The office will be open night and day, with a possible closing part of the day Sunday. The appearance of the work done so far is excellent, all the poles being large, securely set in the ground and carefully aligned, giving an appearance of permanece and thoroughness. J. J. Montgomery of Rockford, 111., has charge of the installment of the system, is certainly worthy of commendation for the work he is doing. He is superintendent of construction, and considered one of the most expert telephone men in the country.

Benjamin Fisher Killed.
Benjamin Fisher, section hand on the Monon at this place, was run down by a frieght train last Friday morning while he was at work alone on the track near Surrey. He was badly crushed, both legs being frightfully mangled and he received severe outs on the head and back. His injuries were at once seen to-be fatal, and he died at 2 p. m. at the home of his father, Henry Fisher, the mail train picking him up a few minutes after the accident and bringing him to Rensselaer. He recovered partial consciousness, but not sufficiently to give an intelligible account of the occurrence. Coroner Wright has not yet returned a verdict, the inquest which began Saturday and was continued Tuesday and Wednesday having not yet been completed as the Pilot goes to press. The obituary appears in another column.
