ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

All shortcomings of the Pilot this week may be attributed to the absence of the editor. The * “snake'" editor was left in charge and he was laboring under the disadvantage of being a stranger. Of all noises ever heard in Rensselaer, that made by the . moving of the tin roofs which were torn of by Sunday's storm took the cake. The deep-toned thunder at the high th of the racket wasn’t a patch to it. The bicycle parade last. Friday evening was a very “brilliant” affair. Some of schemes of illumination were quite unique. Rensselaer can, perhaps turn out more wheels than any town its size in the country. Wednesday, Aug. 28, the Monon will run an excurion to Chicago and Milwaukee. Rate for the round trip from Rensselaer to Milwaukee. $2; round trip to 'Chicago, $2; good returning on the milk train Aug. 28 and 29. also on special train Aug. 29. W. H. Beam, agent. Dr. J. H. Loughridge died at his home Friday morning at 1 o’clock a. m. Religious services will be held at the residence by Dr. Utter Sunday afternoon at 2:30. From the residence the Masonic lodge will take charge, and the burial will be conducted according to the rites of this order. John Kimble of Parr goes to Bryant, Jay county, for the treatment of cancer, which has recently put in an appearance on his back. From recommendations he has received of a specialist there he hopes for for a successful operation. Mr. Kimble was in the city Monday. He leaves for Bryant Saturday. C. Vincent, general organizer of the F. A. & I. U. and editor of the Farm Record, published at Indianapolis, was the guest of the Pilot Wednesday, and was taken out for a jaunt through the country by Mr. James Welsh. Mr. Vincent is a level-headed and courteous gentleman, a keen observer and an eloquent talker. He has just returned from an extended tour through South • Dakota and is now on his way to Oregon.

Attention is called to the advertisement of Dr. Newman in this issue. This gentleman has been here a week now, and is decidedly different from the ordinary traveling physician—one with whom it is a pleasure to do business. The doctor stays another week. He is held in high regard as a courteous gentleman and skillful practitioner by all who know him. Friday night he received as a token of esteem a beautiful and massive gold-headed cane from Mr. and Mrs. Beeche of Sullivan, Indiana, whose daughter he had successfully treated for cerebral spinal meningetis, of which she had been a sufferer for eleven years. David V., the youngest son of David H. Yeoman, met with an accident Saturday Aug. 10 while on bis way to Rennselaer with a load of cord wood, as he was coming down the steep grade just north of Harry Alter’s tile mill the front part of the wagon gave way, throwing him behind the team, causing them to run away. He became entangled in the lines and was dragged a distance of forty yards over the rdugh gravel road before he was released. The team ran into 'the tile yard, striking a small dry kiln, was forced to stop. David was found a few minutes later on the road-side by Mr. Chas. Pullins. He was taken to Rensselaer and after being examined it was found that no bones-were broken, but he had received many ugly bruises about the head and body. He was unconscious when found, but soon came to and will be able to be out again in a short time.
