A bystander, who was watching the excavating on the old Halloran corner, remarked to a Pilot reporter that it was well, perhaps, that the soil could not give up the secrets which the years had confided to its keeping.

Obituary.

Margaret J. Timmons, daughter of Clment Timmons, was born January 4, 1842, in Tippeca noe county, Ind., and died near Wolcott, Ind., July 23, 1895, aged 53 years, 6 months, and 20 days. In 1845 she with her father’s family moved to Jasper county, Ind. Soon after this her mother died leaving he.r an orphan at five years of age. She was a continuous resident of Jasper county up to the time of her marriage with Isaac M. Lamborn April 5, 1866. She united with the M. E. church when about 20 years of age, and ever after lived a prayerful life. She was the mother of seven children, four boys and three girls, two of whom preceeded her to the better land. She lived a life of suffering. Her last days were days of intense suffering. The last five mouths of her life she was helpless. After all that loving hands could do, and the best medical skill, she yielded at last to consumption in its worst form. She leaves a husband and five children, two brothers and two sisters with a host of friends to mourn their loss. After a short prayer service at the residence by Rev. J. Boicourt, the final funeral services were conducted at Egypt by Rev. D. Hanley of Remington, and her remains were laid away to rest in Egypt cemetery. Rev. J. Boicourt.

WHEEL MOVEMENT.

Independent Rapid Transit Xotes of Loeal Moment. Miss Martha Robinson was in Monticello Sunday. Alfred Hopkins arrived home the last day of July, the full limit of his vacation." Albert Overton made a run to Monticello Sunday afternoon, returning Monday morning. Wheelman Lawson Meyer has returned from a trial experience as cowboy on Thompson’s ranch at Parr. Isaac Leopold of Wolcott joined Will A. Mossier and his party at that point, on their trip to Thorntown. Frank Meyer, wife and Miss Mattie Robinson rolled over the world as far as Monticello and returned Sunday. __ Misses Sadie Leopold and Irma Kannal accompanied Messrs. Mossier and Leopold on their wheels to Thorntown. The Misses Thena Meyer and Floss Wright went to Wm. Essen's, ten miles west of town, last Friday to spend a few days. B. F. Fendig, T. J. McCoy, Miss Matt Robinson, Arthur Hopkins and Miss Lynne Kelley made an excursion to Pleasant Ridge Friday. A new Mystic bicycle, the best high grade wheel made, can be purchased at the Pilot office for $65. The fullest opportunity to inspect and give a trial. If you want to know what purchasers think of the Mystic, inquire of the Misses Washburn, who are greatly pleased with their light running wheel. Frank Meyer, Mrs. Meyer, Jimmie Meyer. Miss Fern Starr, and C. C. Starr went to Remington awheel Monday to see the ball game between Goodland and Remington. Will A. Mossier and Moses Leopold left awheel for Thorntown Saturday afternoon. They will be gone for ten days. Mrs. Mossier and little daughter went the same day by rail. Sunday was superb . for long rides, the roads could not be in better condition and the weather was cool with a slight breeze, and very few wheels -were idle. Many excursions were made to neighboring cities and hamlets, some of them being indeed extensive drives.

Albert Hopkins and Lou Wilcox made the road record of the season for Rensselaer last Sunday. They left here at 4:30 and arrived in Indianapolis at 6:30 p. m., passing through Remington, Wolcott, Lafayette, Crawfordsville, Lebanon and other places, covering 139 miles. Ten miles were made in 35 minutes. The bicycle is a diverson healthful both in a physical and moral senfce t and as an educator in the every day affairs of life it is worthy of copsideration, for the most careless observer cannot fail to become familiar with country through which he rides each week, and many a one must discover what a stranger he has been all his life in his own and adjoining counties. The bicycle is sold as cheaply to-day, according to workmanship and cost of material, as are various grades of buggies and carriages, and a high grade wheel will carry a rider more miles during its life than will a carriage of similar cost. There are wheels in Rensselaer that have been ridden this year over 3000 miles, and are apparently in as good condition as at the beginning of the season. A party of cyclists from Rensselaer and vicinity intend to make a little trip to Wisconsin about the 11th of August. They will go to Chicago by rail, and from there to Milwaukee by boat, at which place they will mount for a ride through that beautiful city, out through the charming suburbs to Waukesha. From Waukesha the party will probably visit the numerous beautiful lakes in Southern Wisconsin near Mukwonago, where the Mystic Cycle Works are located. It will be a delightful trip, will cost very little as the round trip ticket on the boat from Chicago to Milwaukee and return is but SI.OO. Parties desiring to join in this excursion should communicate with the editor of the Pilot.
