Miss Gusta King is expected to return to Rensselaer in a short time, an unexpected change in her condition making it necessary for her to leave lowa for her home here. StewardHammond,one of Rensselaer’s old and well known citi zens, was seriously ir jured Sat urday forenoon by falling off from a load of corn fodder. He struck on his bead and hurt his spine. The injury is thought to be serious.

.-.Among urm'w. cate that the loss of life among the herds will be great. From Ohio comes the story that the village of Cygnet has been blown away and that thousands of oil derricks had been leveled entailing a loss upon the petroleum In terests amounting to hundreds o thousands of dollars. At Louisville and along the Ohio rive scores of coal-laden barges were tor: from their moorings by the combine' wind and current and carried dow stream to certain destruction and con sequent loss to the owners of vessel and cargo. At Franklin. Ind., the cit; hall was blown down. At Montpeliei Ind., scores of oil derricks were razet and many houses were unroofed, leav ing their occupants at the chilling mer cies of the storm. Train service throughout Wiseonsi has been badly crippled, as it has bee in Michigan and in fact throughout tb, entire storm belt.

From all points in Missouri tl storm is reported to be of unusual s verity, and it is stated that railwii traffic is sure to be seriously impede’ Throughout Kansas the storm has a proached the proportions of a blizzai; It is claimed, however, that the stor : will do winter wheat an immen amount of good. Much suffering amo:, + nnAr qattliarc .in thct PlifirAlrflo .oil turns so lecturing nis nocK for neglecting devotional exercises it may be safe to presume that the pulpit lacks the forceful element of success. The voiceless vacant seats speak more emphatically to the preacher than his lectures do to the congregation.

The east room of the Odd Fellows’ block will be occupied in the near future by the new firm of Antrim & Dean, (James F. Antrim and Charles Dean,) who will put in a stock of hardware. Mr. Antrim is well known to the Rensselaer public and is a very popular man. His partner, Mr. Deap, is an old resident Newton township, but recently sreturned here from Illinois. He recently purchased the home place of E. Yates on Front street. The new firm have a fine location and an excellent business room for their newfventure. They will undoubtedly do their portion of business in their line.

Mrs. Mary Hopkins is having a well drilled by Gay & Steward. Mrs. Victoria Wood is very sick at her home, in the southeast part of town.

The location and catalpgue of articles will be given week. Some of our best farmers are making .preparations to hold their cprn crop for a future market, believing that nothing short of /phenomenal crop prospects will prevent a rise in price before the next season is over. The Methodist church was cot large enough Sunday evening to give even standing room to the immense crowd that went to heai Presiding Elder Dr. J. H. Wilson, and his discourse fully merited the attendance. A really grand ball will be that of the tire boys, to be given at the opera house the evening of Dec. 31st It will be a masquerade affair and a large number of invitations have been issued. Music by the best talent obtainable.

The advent of Will Wishard in the grocery store of Porter & Wishard has had a marked effect on the orderly appearance of the place, and it will now compare favorably with the most modern of larger cities than Rensselaer.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. NOV. 28, 1895.

And The Prophecy is Fulfilled.

Less than a year ago, the People’s Pilot discarded its “ready-print” feature and began printing the entire eight pages at home. This was done that the paper would be free from the objectionable page of “foreign” advertisments, inserted by the ready-print publishers and to enable the editor to select and know what was published in all parts of the paper, and to give more space to local matters. The above facts were stated in the Pilot and its readers modestly told that the change w r as made to improve the paper. The worthy editor of the Republican took particular pains to ridicule the change and devoted the better part of a column to explaining the absurdity of the paper being any better because of its being all printed at home, becoming extremely mirthful over the substitution of “plate matter” for “ready prints.” In reply the Pilot made the prophesy that the Republican would be obliged to discard its “ready print” side or go out of business, as it could not long trot in the same class with its “all-at-home” printed cotemporary in the habliments of a past decade. The Pilot has gone steadily on, its reading clientage measurably increasing, and its advertising patronage surpassing that of any former time. Whether it has become the favorite paper of Rensselaer the editor is content to let the public judge, but certain it is, the same Republican, with same editor, that so ridiculed the Pjdbt for its change last has found sufficient reasons' for quitting its ready prityf publishers, and last week it swung quietly into line with the Pilot and printed botty sides on the home press, fulfilling the Pilot’s prophecy above referred to; it will bear reproduction in the light of recent developments, and is as follows:

KICKS AT THE INEVITABLE. “Theeditorof the Pilot, with the greaiest charity for the manifest nervousness of his most congenial brother of the Republican, can well afford to smile at the following from his last issue, which is reproduced that the people of Jasper county might discover that it had been printed:

•‘Our esteemed neighbor the Pilot wns ‘•talking through his hat” at a great rate last week, and we scarcely know hy what theory to account for the great and sudden output of liis imagination, unless it be that his removal is the near proximity of the sulphur water of the court house well has had the effect of unduly stimulating his imaginative faculties. He gives it out straight, for Instance, that the Pilot is the best paper in Indiana, and lie don't care who knows it and, the unkindest cut of all. no exception is made even in favor of that great light of populism.the Nonconformist of Indianapolis. In another place the readers are given a great ‘stiff’ about the Pilot being all 'home print’ now, when the facts are that nearly the whole paper is made up from stereotype plates received every week by express, and in no essential respects better than nor different in nature from the ordinary ready prints or ‘patent, insides.’ which the Pilot has used heretofore. Right along with this •breeze’ about the Pilot’s ’all home print’ (on •all-imported'stereotype plates), are several cracks; about the Pilot’s circulation, which are of a piece in imaginative magnitude with the 'best paper in Indiana’ and the all home print’ rackets.”

“The earnestness of the venerable editor of the Republican is certainly amusing. Probably he does think, in his excited mental condition, that the Pilot is all plates, but the readers of this paper have no difficulty in finding twice as much local news and home set matter as they could find in the official paper of Jasper county. “The Pilot is printed at home on both sides, and that is exactly what troubles our worthy contemporary. He recognizes that the day is not far distant when he must do the same.

“His readers already recognize the difference between the “pat ent inside” and the “home print,” and will soon be demanding that he move the paper up on the line of progression pursued by the Pilot. He knows that such a move will cost good hard gold dollars, and it touches a tender spot. He has fed at the public crib so long, and given so little for the privilege, that irritates him to be crowded. We forgive you brother, but you must bend to the inevitable; you must print your paper all at home.”

lteaf nenn Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is,/by constitutional remedies.. 'Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of themucuos surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Chenny & Co. Toledo, O.
