THE WEEK AT HOME.

Old settlers’ day. Miss Thena Little of Chicago has been a guest of Mrs. B. F. Meyer for a week. W. H. Burgess has returned to the city. There must be some strong attraction for Mr. Burgess here.

Moot, Christian pastor at Francisville and Medaryville, occupied bhe pulpit in the Wolcott church last Sunday on ac count of the absence of the regular pastor, caused by death in the family circle.

Schenk of Chicago passed through here enroute to Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and Atlanta, where he will take a short rest and return via Nashville and Louisville. He had some trouble reaching this place, as he rode through the most sandy regions. The entire journey will be made on a bicycle. John Garling. living on the old David Gray farm in Hanging Grove township, was killed by lightning Wednesday night last at eleven o’clock.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. OCT. 3. 1895.

Largest and most complete stock in western Indiana. Four rooms completely filled with fall and winter goods of latest styles and best quality. Prices rut and slashed to make this mammoth stock move quickly. The money saved in prices will pay for trouble of trading at the store crowded with customers and attractive goods. Room only for a few prices.

The farmers institute, held at Union school house, Jordan township, and Center school house, Gillam township were well attended. The discussion of the subjects was lively and quite a number took part. At Center Prof. Huston of Purdue gave the relative feeding value of corn fodder and all compared with timothy hay. After that a general discussion of the practical side of the question, which was interesting. These meetings were not a failure by a long ways and the more we have the better they will become.

Opening of Indiana University

The seventy-second year of Indiana University atßloomington, Ind., began under most favorable cicumstances. The enrollment to date is near seven hundred and President Swan estimates that this number will be increased by two hundred during year. The six buildings, including the magnificent Kirkwood hall recently erected, and dedicated with appropriate ceremonies, in which Governor Matthews took a prominent part, are crowded with eager and industrious students. The faculty is larger and stronger than evey before, and the number of departments has been increased. One among the several additions in the way of work offered, is that of a course in journalism. The mistakes made in the past by those who have attempted to teach boys “how to run a newspaper.” by simply drilling them in rhetoric have, in this case,been avoided. Mr. N W. Stephenson, in charge of the work, is a practical newspaper man of wide experience and recognized ability. Before his appointment to Indiana University he was on the editorial staff of the Cincinnati Tribune, where he steadily won promotion. While he believes that an editor must master hjs profession lagely in the real work of an offiice, yet he thinks that many valuable hints and helps can be given in the class room. Further the full course purposes mainly to be only a broad and liberal preparation for practical work, by no means a substitute for it. The proposed course includes study in English, history, political theory, constitutional history and economics.

This plan can not fail to attract attention and receive approval as an enterprising effort to respond to new educational demands as they arise. Its further development will be watched with much interest, especially by the newspaper men of the State. Ruling prices at Rensselaer Oct. 3: Wheat, 45c@50c $ bu; corn, 26@>27c bu; oats. 15@17c sbu; rye. 30c per bu; hay, $7.50 @9.00.

Death of an Aged Citizen.

Charles Rhoades died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N. W. Reeve, in this place last Monday morning, Sept. 30, 1895, at the ripe age of 81 years, 10 months and 3 days. The funeral occurred Tuesday 2:30 p. m., from the house, Rev. M. R. Paradis of the Presbyterian church conducting the services. A very large procession followed the remains to Weston cemetery. Mr. Rhoades was born in Winslows Maine, Nov. 27, 1813; where he resided until 1857 when he located in Rensselaer. He was a harnessmaker and constantly followed his trade since 14 years of age. He married Mary Ann Duren in 1833, who preceded him to the grave th tee years ago. His living children are William H., Marshall D.. Edward D., Mrs. Amanda Reeve and Mrs. Caroline D. Martin.

Odd Fellows' Dag.

The Odd Fellow building, which was completed October Ist, will be dedicated with imposing ceremonies on the 16th inst. It is believed now that 1000 visiting brethren will be in the line of procession, with fifteen or more bands. With a very low rate on all railroads it is certain that more strangers will be in Rensselaer than on any previous occasion.

Where Honor Is Due.

“Dr. C. E. Triplett has been appointed a member of the Remington Pension Examining Board in place of Dr. Hatch, resigned, last fall. Great is the tumble from Dr. Hatch, the soldier, to Triplett, the citizen. However, the soldier boys need have no fears, for Dr. Hatch will take care of their interests in Washington while a member of Congress.” The above article from the Newton County Enterprise reflecting upon Dr. Triplett is unjust to him. Dr. Triplett was for some time Regimental Surgeon of the 87th Indiana Regi ment of Volunteers and afterward promoted to Brigade Surgeon of the 3d Brigade. 3d Division, 14th Army Corps. He was a skillful surgeon, a true patriot and a brave soldier, and the interests of the boys who wore the blue are safe in bis hands. We denounce the attack on Dr. Triplett. No more skillful hand ever ministered to the sick and wounded soldier. Bighearted and sympathetic he always had a kind word for every sufferer. No man is more worthy of the confidence of the soldier than Dr. Triplett. William M. Hoover, Co. A, 87th Ind. Vols. Jas. A. Burnham. •* David H. Yeoman, Joseph C.

The Jennie Lynn Warblers.

The rarest musical treat that it has been the pleasure of a Rensselaer audience to receive was givbn at the opera house last night by the ladies comp< sing the Jennie Lynn Quartette, viz.: Miss Stella L. Borden, first alto; Miss Jane Addy,* first soprano; Miss Helen Culver, sec ondalto; Miss MabelleF. Wai er, second soprano. Mina Prentice Borden is a reader of charming talent and did not escape a storm of applause for each rendition. These ladies will find a warm welcome awaiting their visit should they again come to Rensselaer. Every seat in the house had been reserved before the box office opened that night, and the audience comprised only polite society and musical devotees, and was happily devoid of the element that has so often made attendance at the opera house unbearable bv their coarse demonstrations. It would be unjust to say which of these'sweet singers was most appreciated; all are exquisite. talented, refined. They were each repeatedly recalled, and given the warmest applause.

Will Lay The Corner Stone.

The cornerstone of the new Presbyterian church will be laid Tuesday, Oct. 15, the day proceeding the dedication of Odd Fellows Hall. There will le special rates on all tra’ns and an immense crowd is expected. Rev. Dr. J. A. Rondthaeler of the Tabernacle church of Indianapolis, renowned orator for such occasions, is expected to be present. Also Rev. Dickey, the synodical superintendent, of Indianapolis, who has many admirers in Rensselaer. Arrangements have been made for a grand street parade, in which all the officials of the county and the various towns and all the several lodges and fraternal societies are expected to particpate in body and march in the procession. It will undoubtedly be the grandest religious event in the history of Rensselaer. The ladies will serve dinner in the Odd Fellows banquet hall. Fourteen recent real estate transfers made an aggregate of ♦85,125.
