Money sent by its order system is the very safest, most convenient and the cheapest means of transportation. Every cent that is paid for stamps, or for fees is that much of the nation's taxes paid. It is the duty of all good citizens to patronize the postoffice in every way possible. The following are the rates: Orders not exceeding #2.50 3c. Orders not exceeding #5.00 sc.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

An exchange received the following letter: Mr. Editor—l take my pen in hand to let you no that times is 2 hard for me 2 take your paper. Hits all that I can do to buy terbacker for myself and the boys, besides the old woman has to have her snuff. I will pay'you what I owe you next fall when I sell my hogs, if they don’t die with cholera. N. B.—We’ve jgot another baby at our house; cum a week ago last Thursday night. Rite something about it and send us 3 or 4 papers and we’ll send 'em off for you.

A new scheme has been adopted by book agents when they visit farmers. As they find it is with some difficulty that they get the farmers to stop their work and listen to their story, they hire a good strong man to go along with them whom when they tackle a farmer in the field they set to work, consequently the farmer is not in much of a hurry to have the agent depart. It is said some farmers have been known to talk to agents, who have adopted this scheme, for nearly half a day—Redkey Times. A threshing “run” near Meadow Lake church last year made 27.000 bushels of oats and this year tlie same jobs only made about bushels. In the nighborhood M. G. Wilson had 14 acres that yielded 756 bu. —Wolcott Enterprise. Almost any school boy could answer some of the questions given at the Westpoint cadetship examination at Logansport last week. Some amusing answers ware given by those contesting for the prize, or else the manuscript was written in a humorous vein. One bounded the state of New York on the north with the District of Columbia-—Wolcott Enterprise. The White County Democrat contains the following pointed advertisement of a “physishun and surged:” “Legs and arms sawed off while you wait without pain. Coleck, cramps, kostiveness and worms nailen on sight. No coroner never yet sat on the remains of my customers, and any one hiring me don’t has to be layen up money to buy a grave stove. Come one, Come awl.” W T hen a man is dressed completely he wears ten articles, including his necktie. A woman wears thirty different articles in her hair alone. A woman wears at least fifty seven different articles. and is compelled to keep track of them. A woman spends one-third of her time in dressing and undressing; a man about twenty minutes each day.—Ex. ’Tis now the town of Lowell is blest, with a roarii g loud whistle for time, it regulates the town and brings order all around. From Mr. Kellner’s elevator doth come, that roaring regulator, it gives the time of day to farmers, so they can regulate their clocks. Now we are thankful for this, as it brings order to the town, and the country all around.—Lowell Tribune. At the meeting of the town board Monday evening, plans were ad dp ted for a water works plant with a tower of the highth of eighty-seven feet, made of either iron or steel, and a tank to hold 40,000 gallons, and ordered the advertising for bids at once.—Kentland Democrat. A. R. Bunnell raised three and a half acres of milled this j ear which yields two tons per acre. Some of the heads are over seven inches long. He thinks it is a good paying crop and advises other farmers to try it. It should be sowed about the first of May.—Monticello Herald.

Dr. A. H. Coble, of Rockfield, is having a private telephone line run from his office to Lockport and from there to Hopedale. The entire distance will be about nine miles. This line is for the exclusive use of Dr. Coble’s patrons.—Delphi Journal. The fraud and swindler has made his appearance in a new role so plausible and engaging

that the. very shrewdest are likely to become his victims as well as the unsuspecting. His name in this instance is given as F. L. Harvey and he hung out his shingle at South Bend a few weeks ago and inserted a card in the dailies advertising “money to loan on real estate, city or county, at six per cert.” These little advertisements caused a perfect flock of would be borrowers to seek this shining philanthropist of six per cent, interest renoun and he wrote application after application, charging each aplicant ass fee which he pocketed with great complacency. His clerk, alone, in his absence wrote out eight such applications and turned them over to Harvey who was absent at the time. Last Friday was the last seen of Mr. Harvey. He settled with his landlady that evening and disappeared. He left his office rent and his bills for furniture unpaid. The South Bend Times, which exposes him, was victimized to the melody of #ll for stationery and printing which it supposes he will use in his next field.

The Momence Reporter is trying to stir up its capitalists io the point of establishing a bicycle factory. Not a bad idea, as the reportei says “the demand for the bicycle is just in its infancy.” We have heard this suggestion made by some of our level headed citizens of late of Goodland. Look at it frankly, gentlemen: our facilities for anything of this nature are more than ordinary, both as regards fuel and shipping. The bicycle has already demonstrated itself to be far more than a fad. Its practical usefulness has asserted itself in so many ways that it has already come to be more than a luxnry; in fact, a necessity. The demand for the bicycle must constantly increase and as has been the carriage it is fast becoming a staple article. How then can you place a limit to its manufacture? Now is the time to start in. We have a good place and lots of idle capital among us. By all means let Goodland have a bicycle manufactory.—Goodland Herald. An exchange speaks of a certain enterprising jeweler who after marking down his goods and finding no taker, placed a silver dollar in his show window and marked it only 90 cents. He was laid out cold and flat by a man walking into his store, taking the dollar and promising to pay for it next week. A pathetic story is going the rounds about a certain young man who bought a pair of socks containing a note saying the writer was an employe of the Kenosha (Wis.) knitting works and wanted a good husband. She gave her name, and requested the buyer, if unmarried, to write with a view to matrimony. The young man who found the note considered it in all its phases, and then decided to write to the girl. He did. Awaiting with anxiety, he was at last rewarded with a curt letter. stating that the girl was now the mother of two children and had been married four years, and the letter had been written ever so long ago. It was a “sockdolager,” and the young man hunted for a solution. He found it. The merchant of whom he bought the socks doesn’t advertise.

We venture to say that an investigation will reveal the fact that more farms have changed owners in Newion county during the past six months than in any other equal length of time in the past ten years.—Morocco Courier. Joseph E. Thomas, a two hundred pound citizen of Mt. Ayr, expresses his entire willingness to run a 100 yard dash with any man in Newton ccunty, on a wager of from $25 to S4O. It is understood, however, that the weight of his competitor must be at least 200 pounds.— Morocco Courier. Corn prospects were never better at this season, than at this penciling. We made an overland trip to Porter county since our last, thus having a splendid opportunity to feed our optics on the production of ‘•Mother earth,’’when properly tickled with the tnodernmaehinery. We noticed several pieces

that had matured so much so. that it was to hard for roasting ears, while all presented that beautiful dark green healthy color. On this trip, we took pains to enquire relative to the yield of oats and wheat, whefc thresning had been done, and were informed that oats average 35 to 40 bushels per acre and wheat 18 to 25. Hay crop short all along the line.—Brook Up to Date.

Remington now has four as good grain elevators as can be found in any town in Northern Indiana and the beauty of it is that they are run by three different firms, no combine or trust, thus insuring the farmer the highest market price for his grain at all times. Press. Skip-to-ma-100 or greener fields, applies direct to Bayer, the man who reached this town two weeks ago, engaged himself to Gobel as a barber and in a day or so. went in with Ray. He was an expert with the knife, bay rum and whiskey, drinking the two latter, don’t believe he surprised his stomach with water. or drew a sober breath while here, skipped for parts unknown Monday.—Brook Up to Date.

Here is the advice the Supreme court 'gave a woman recently who was seeking a divorce from a drunken husband: •’You voluntarily' chose a drunkard for a husband, and you should discharge the duties of a drunkard’s wife. His failure to keep a pledge of reformation, made before marriage, does not justify you in deserting him. Having knowingly married a drunkard, you must make yourself content with the sacred relationship.”—Winamac Republican.

It is unlawful to shoot prairie chickens between the first day of February and the first day of September. 2.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida street, San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial bottle at F. B. Meyer’s drug store.

THE MYSTIC WHEEL.

What Some of the Cu<lMk Say Re!/anliHy It# Merits. The Mystic bicycle is manufactured by a company composed of responsible citizens of Mukwanago, Wis., the president being A. H. Craig, a brother of the editor of the Pilot. They determined when starting the manufactory to build the best wheel that could be made. They had the proven model of a superior design, and it only re-, quired the best workmanship to turn out a better wheel than other high-class manufacturers were doing. This'they have done, and it is not claiming too much to say that it is superior to any #IOO wheel, on the market. The guarantee of the manufacturer is broad, and every wheel sold by the Pilot has the additional guarantee of the publisher. The Mystic can be seen at the Pilot office. The price is **s, but can be had through especial arrangement for #65 and expressage (about 75c.) Note what these letters say: Chicago, May 7. 1895.—The wheel you sent me gives entire satisfaction. Please ship one for my brother as soon as possible. G. S. Norton, 811-813 Masonic Temple. Note Mr. Norton visited ihe factory in March and was so much interested in how the Mystics are manufactured that he decided then that the next wheel he rode should be a Mystic. As he is a wheelman of eight years’ experience the above testimonial is indeed a high compliment. Waukesha, Wis., May 10, 1895. —The Mystic wheel I got of you for my daughter gives splendid satisfaction. It fills the bill in every particular. Respectfully yours, A. J. Frame, President Wakesha Nat. Bank. Caldwell, Wis.. June 8,1895. We. the undersigned wheelmen of Caldwell, Racine county, Wis., do hereby testify that we have owned and ridden many different kinds of wheels, but none have given such satisfaction as the Mystic. It is the freest in action, easiest to manage and smoothest running wheel of any we ever tried. We can make better time and climb harder hills than weever did before. In fact, it is all its makers claim for it. We have visited the factory, examined every part in the rough and also when finished, and find machinery, workmen and material are worthy inspection and prove by their work that they make one of the finest wheels on the market.

R. Clark, W. J. Clark. C. F. Bettcke, Horace Clark. Alamosa. Colo., May 27, 1895. The Mystic has had the heaviest, competition possible, but more than holds its own. I took your wheel without any experience whatever,and immediately found myself confronted with experienced experts of the Columbia, Waverly, Sterns, Syracuse, Spaulding, Soudan and several other makes, but I won more credit marks than all of them. Please ship immediately the order I gave you for Durango and Pagosa Springs, Next year we will sweep the country. S. S. Craig, M. D.

Troy Center, Wis., May 27, 1895.—Since riding the Mystic wheel I have been asked many times how I liked it and how it compared with other wheels. To all such inquiries I have but one answer to make: It gives perfect satisfaction. It has many points of excellence over the general make of wheels and is the easiest running wheel I ever rode. It is very sensitive in the head, which is an advantage not to be lost sight of. The workmanship is first-class in every respect and the style and finish as near perfect as possible. I have seen none that I tnought its equal. The chain is a point that beats them all, and I consider it worth $5 more at least than any othei I ever saw. Taking all in consideration I consider the Mystic the best high grade wheel on the market this season. W. S. Bunker. Havelock, lowa, May 21, 1895.

—I have just arrived home from Minneapolis, having made the trip up and back on my Mystic (550 miles) without a break or mishap and without paying out one cent for repairs, and I went through mud, over hubs and rocks which would certainly have smashed anything but a strong wheel, yet my machine is as good this minute as she was when it came out of your factory. H. W. Ackley.

Newburg, Wis., May 16, 1895. - The Mystic arrived all o. k.; took it last night. Had to ride home eight miles and I never had such a snap and pleasant ride before because it runs so easily that the rider doesn’t know whether he is working with his feet or not. I have seen and ridden many different wheels, but, none that I have ever seen can compete with the Mystie in any respect. Bicyclists who have never ridden a Mystic do not know what a good wheel is—but there is no use trying to praise it, because it praises itself more than human being can praise it. Jas. B. Mollinc.

Rensselaer. Ind., July 6, 1895. I desire to express my great pleasure in the ownership of a Mystic wheel. It has proven all that was hoped for, and I prefer it to any wheel that I have seen. Miss Eva Washburn. Rensselaer. Ind., July 6, 1895. 1 take pleasure in saying that the Mystic is the easiest running and most perfectly balanced wheel that I ever rode. Have just returned from a ten-day trip without the slightest accident or expense for repairs. It certainly has no peer as a high class bicycle. Moses Leopold.

Value Builders.

Burget & Penn, recently of Douglas county, HL, now are doing a general real estate business with office in Rensselaer, are energetic, reliable men, and their large acquaintance with parties in Illionis and elsewhere who are seeking land, enables them to handle property placed in their hands with satisfaction to owners, and the quickest possible sales. They ask a share of the public’s patronage. The Aeromotor Wind mill is sold by Judson H. Perkins, who will put them up at very low prices. The largest and finest line of wall papers ever in Northern Indiana, and at the lowest prices. At Frank B. Meyer’s “old reliable” drug store.
