O. U. W. There has been quite an epidemic of hog cholera in the western part of Carpenter township for the past three or four weeks. Bessie Little, who has been dangerously ill with typhoid fever for several weeks, is at present convalescing. J. O. B. McDougle, who was severely injured by a kick from his horse some time ago. is nowattending to his duties in his store. William E. Seymour, who went to lowa with a party of landseekers last week, has returned home. He says his party was well pleased with the country and that some of them will locate there. He will go again in a few days with another party.

Remington was again blessed with an excellent rain last Sunday night and Monday morning, it having rained about six hours steadily. This rain is calculated to do an immense amount of good.

The Remington schools are now again overcrowded. The town trustees are called upon to furnish another school room. They will probably utilize, for the present, a year or so, at least, the hall owned by the town on Ohio street. It is not an elegant room, but it will probably answer the purpose for a year or two, or until the town can build another good school building. The little child of Mr. and Mrs. N. Littlefield of Rensselaer was buried in the Remington cemetery last Sunday. C. H. Peck is at present engaged in placing on the shelves a splendid stock of new clothing, boots and shoes and furnishing goods. Carpenter township schools opened with fair attendance on the 9th inst. Hon. George Major and family recently returned from an extended visit with relatives and friends at Frankfort, Elwood and Kokomo. J. W. Duvall of Rensselaer was on the streets of Remington last Monday. “Wes” is looking bet-

ter than usual, and he seems also to have improved a great deal physically within the last few months. Hon. Anson Wolcott was on the streets last Monday, looking after his elevator interests in Remington. The Oddfellows have bought a lot on North Railroad street and will probably put up a good building and hall on it in the near future. The order in Remingtan is in fairly good financial circumstances. We are informed that the family of P. H. Lally will move to Michigan City in a short time. “Pat’’ has already gone there and assumed his position as a prison guard. William Draper of Hartford City, Ind., was in Remington last week on business and was shaking hands with old friends. He succeeded in selling i their residence property here to Mrs. Jacob Thomas, the property being situated on North Railroad street. It was sold for SSOO cash in hand. They are building a good residence in Hartford City.

The valuation for taxation of the town of Remington for the year 1695 is about $390,000. The levies for town purposes for the year are 60 cents on the $1 of valuation and 25c on each poll. The total taxes levied and assessed, including poll and dog taxes, for the year, as shown by the tax duplicates, is $2,400. The old soldiers who were in attendance at the G. A R. reunion at Louisville from Remington have returned. They report immense crowds and a good time generally, with nothing to mar the pleasures of the gathering except ths collapse of a large (platform and the explosion of a caisson, the latter accident causI ing the death of five persons, a Tull account of which appeared i in last week's Pilot. James Welsh was in Reming- ; ton the fore part of this week. . ■•Jim” can name the occupant of i every dwelling between here and I Rensselaer. Remington will probably purj chase a new fire alarm bell and place it on the town hall in a i short time, the old one having outlasted its usefulness. Mr. Williams of the Valparaiso normal school is in Remington as the guest of the family of Mr. Philip Hawn. The Beal sisters went to Indianapolis the latter part of last week to buy millinery goods and take in the state fair. Miss Har per. Miss Stella Beal and Mrs. Phelps left for Indianapolis last Monday morning also and will make purchases, visit friends and attend the state fair. We trust they will all have a very pleasant and profitable time while there on pleasure and business.

They May Wed.

A Letter From Rossville.

To the Editor of the People’s Pilot. Rossville, Ind., Sept. 12.-Per-haps a few lines from Rossville might be of interest to your readers. This is quite a lively town for the size of it. The roads are graveled, so one may drive to Lafayette. Frankfort and surrounding towns at any time of the year without leaving the gravel. The country around is nicely drained and the farms are under good state of cultivation as far as my travels have extended. The drouth has affected the wheat, oat and hay crops seriously. The fruit crop is good, all kinds adapted to this locality being plentiful and cheap. The corn promises large returns, as the result of frequent rains which have lately fallen. There is a lack of that disposition to complain which is so apparent in many places. The people are social and jolly, accept the conditions of life about them with much better grace than is common in such cases. There are three churches here—a Baptist, Methodistand Presbyterian. All are fine looking churches and are well attended. Large attendence also at the Sunday schools of the different denominations. Rossville is made up mostly of young people. I attended the service at the M. E. church last Sunday evening and the audience, which nearlv filled the large building, was composed of the youth of this oncoming generation. The respectful attention paid to the service spoke well for the intelligence of this community. The preacher, though seeming to interest his hearers, to me was rather on the drowsy order. Perhaps my comprehension was dull. The choir, a large one, made the service attractive by the use of such songs as “The Half Has Never Y’et Been Told.” from “Finest of Wheat.” Also the rendering by the quartette of | gentlemen was fairly done. Monday morning after arranging regi ister and reports for the day ! finds me on my way to the depot to find who the 8:20 train may bring, having interest in the Commercial House. As I stand looking at this and that one alighting from the coach with great satisfaction, I behold my daughter Sadie, whom I have

not seen since that cold, frosty morning along with Messrs. Stoner. Bates and other sympathetic hearts, we laid her on a cot and bore her to the depot and placed her - in a bed on a sleeper to be conveyed to the "Home,” in Chicago, of which I had scarcely, I might say, any knowledge, and a heart full of anxious interest as to what would be the outcome of such a seemingly rash change. Sadie was informed of such a "Home” only a few hours before her departure by a lady of Rensselaer, Mrs. Stockton, a daughter of John Makeever. The decision of her physicians was that a perfect rest, and time for nature to work a restoration, was absolutely necessary to reco very. Dr. David of the firm of Ives & David, 126 State street. Chicago, told me her spine was liable to disintegrate at any time, and this after a thorough examination of the patient by himself. The doctor said the "Home” might relieve some old imaginary cases but never her's. Only a short time had elapsed when I learned that Sadie could go up and down three flights of stairs with ease; that she could bear any pressure on her spine without flinching, and her system was in good condition. I am not making a defence of Dr. Dowey’s "Healing Home” or whether there is a God that heals or not. I leave that for doctors-editors-lawyers to settle as best they may. Sadie says, like the blind man, she "Sees.” and to-day I am walking the streets of Rossville attended by her whom I expected to have conveyed to me a form to be laid in Osborne cemetery. This letter already too long, must bear my expressions of thankfulness to the many friends who contributed so much of comfort in so many ways while at her sister’s in Rensselaer: also to Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, with whom she boarded when prostrated; to her physicians, who did all human skill, with human sympathy, was capable.

Curious Alaskan Custom.

A fact remarkable to our civilized women is the one that the Alaska squaws make their ages public. They wear a piece of wood or bone in the lower lip, the size of the ornament indicating the age of the owner. When a girl marries her lower lip is pierced and a pea is inserted. As she grows older this is increased in size until it is almost as wide as her chin and onefourth of an inch high. The result is naturally most unsightly. There is an interesting family at Fort Wrangel, which illustrates perfectly this peculiar custom. It includes four generations. A young girl may be seen sitting at one side of the one-roomed square frame house, while her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are squatted on the earthen floor near the door, offering mats and baskets to the ship’s passengers who come on shore. There is no disfiguring ornament on the girl’s chin, but there is a big one on the lips of her great-grandmother.

Isaac Glazebrook employs in his blacksmith, horseshoeing and wagon repairing shop more workmen than any other like establishment in Jasper county. Keystone Corn Husker and Fodder Shredder. Sold by Robt. Randel.
