REMINGTON
REMINGTON, in which place The People s Pilot has an extensive circulation, is a very pretty village of over 1.000 population, situated in the extreme southern part of Jasper county on the C., St. L. & P. railway 125 miles from Chicago. Largest hay shipping point in Indiana; fine horses, cattle and hogs; rich agricultural lands worth up to $75 per acre and higher; tour warehouses; county fair; excellent high schools; fine churches; wellgraded gravel roads in all directions: two banks. To the Editor of the People's Pilot. Mrs. Joseph Banes, whoresided with the family about four miles north-east of Remington, was stricken with heart failure last Wednesday morning and died almost instantly. She was buried in the Remington cemetery on Friday afternoon. Funeral services were held at the Christian church, of which she was a devoted member, at 2 o’clock p. m., Rev. J. D. Carson conducting the services. She was an estimable lady, and leaves a husband, family of grown children, and many friends to mourn her sudden departure. Mr. Fred Clauzman, who resided on the Hartman farm 2| miles north-east of Remington, died last Wednesday, the disease being fever. He was buried in the Remington cemetery Thursday afternoon. He had come to Jasper " county from Illinois about one year ago and was favorably spoken df by his neighbors. An infant child of Thomas Burns, living three or fofir miles ? east of Remington, died of membranous croup last Thursday arid was buried Saturday in the Catholic cemetery, near Remington. John I. Nutt, whom we have heretofore mentioned as*being quite sick with typhoid fever,' had a relapse last week, and his condition has been exceedingly dangerous ever'since. His physician now informs us that he has some hopes of his ultimate recovery. James E. Stiller was duly installed commander of the Remington Post, No. 74, G. A. R., of Remington, Indiana,,for the year of 1896, Tuesday evening the 31. The Post reports an en
joyable time at their installation exercises, having the use of the I. O. O. F. hall in connection with their own. Mrs. Brown, living in the south-east part of town, has been quite sick for the past two weeks, and is not much improved at this writing. We are informed, however, that her condition has not yet assumed a dangerous form. Dr. Lovett of Goodland was in Remington last week in consultation with Dr. Landon on the case of Mrs. Joseph Banes, who since died. Albert Littlefield, who has been laid up for two 'or three weeks with erysipelas in one of his feet, is again able to come down town, but he is quite lame yet. There is still immense quantities of corn coming into the elevators here, and this will probably continue to be the case as long as the fine condition of the roads prevails. There is no perceptible change in the -price of this cereal. The protracted meetings have beettin progress at the Methodist Episcopal church in Remington for the past three weeks, under the management of Rev. Michaels. There is being considerable interest manifested in these meetings, which are very well attended.
Carpenter township and Remington combined, have but eight delinquent tax payers in their borders. We look upon this as an excellent. showing for our town and township. And we venture, that there is not another town or township in this county or in the state of Indiana, which can make an equally good showing. Thers are ninety-two counties in the state of Indiana, which are sub-divided into 1016 townships, which is an average of eleven and four ninety seconds townships to each county in the state. The Holiness people still continue to hold their meetings in

the Town Hall. They appear to be havingia very good meeting, for their peculiar ways of conducting meetings, and moW of those who attend claim to enjoy them immensely. Some people however go there for the purpose of satisfying their morbid curiosity. Remington will probably vote on the question of waterworks at her next regular election. In view of the unsafe condition of property here on account of fires, we believe the town should vote in the affirmative on thiso.uestion.
The tollowingitems were written for publication last week: We had another fighting affray near Remington last Saturday evening, which occurred just outside the corporation. This affair was between Daniel Hart and Joseph Belile, who had been living with the , family of Hart for the past few days. Belile was considerably “drunk,” and took Hart’s team and sleigh and went to the Hart home, about one mile south-east of Remington, as he said, to make a fire for the family, who were in town, to return to. .Hart, missing his team, started home, and when just outside the town he met Belile returning with the team and sleigh. Hart immediately proceeded to demoralize Belile in an exceedingly brutal manner. He knocked him down and kicked him unmercifully in the side and back, and jumped on to his face with his heavy boot heels, after which, he left him by the roadside to shift for himself. He had probably lost consciousness, but about ten o’clock he partly regained his senses and found he was at the residence of Geo. Worden, who brough t him to town and turned him over to the marshal, who cared fhr him in the town hall. A warrant was sworn out for Hart, charging him with assault and battery with intent to commit a felony. Hart was arrested about one o’clock Sunday morning and placed in the town jail. He was given a trial Sunday morning, but the state

was unable to prove the intent, and a new affidavit and warrant was issued, charging assault and battery only, and upon the defendant’s plea of guilty, and the hearing of some evidence, he was fined $25 and costs, amount ing in all to about HO. This was the full extent Of a tine that can be administered by a justice, and was, perhaps, the heaviest fine ever imposed in Remington. The case was tried before Esquire G. B. Chappell. The state was represented by Ira W. Yeoman, and the defense by Jasper Guy. There is at present a great deal of corn coming into the market here. Farmers are nearly all busily engaged in shelling, so that it is impossible for all to get the shellers and help required to prosecute the work as fast as they desire.
The Odd Fellows installed their officers elect on the evening of the 6th inst.. as follows: Lewis S. Alter, N. G.; I. D. Luckey, V. G.; Ira W. Yeoman, Recording Secretary; J. F: Major, Per. Secretary; Wm. Townsend, Treasurer. About two o’clock Tuesday afternoon the fire bell rang an alarm and it was soon discovered that there was a brisk blaze in progress in the north-west hay barn of Buell & Whitehead. A large number of people soon collected, but they were powerless to do anything towards saving the contents of this building, which was large and filled to the roof with baled hay. There was quite a lot of hay in the large barn adjoining this one on the east, and the people worked vigorously to remove the same from this building. which was soon ablaze also. They succeeded in saving the most of the hay and straw stored ■in this building, which was ulso bated. XThe two houses immediately/south of the two mentioned above were empty, but they soon caught fire also, and in the space of about one hour the four barns, with the full contents of the one where the fire originated, were reduced to ashes, together with the office be-

longing to the barns, in which was stored a large amount of household goods belonging to a Mr. Bunnell. These goods were all saved but one or two large boxes. We have been unable to learn how the fire originated, but presume from a pipe or a cigar. We have also been unable to ascertain the amount of the loss, but think it must be from SSOOO to «80C0. The hay was probably fully insured, and the barns only partially. There appears* to be developing a considerable amount of opposition to the contemplated “court house” soon to be ejected in Rensselaer, in this vicinity. We presume a great majority of the voters in this, the third. Dis trict of the county would “ferninst” the project. If, as Bro. Taber remarks in his article which appeared in the “Remington Press” of last week, that there is no danger of collapse of the structure in the near future, we beleive it would be wise to defer the building of a new court house for eight or ten years yet, especially in view of the fact that the county expended about SI,OOO on the old court hpuse in repairs two or tAree years ago. This the writer knows to be true, and the writer also knows that the vaults that were then made and enlarged are practically fire proof, and would safely preserve every record contained in them in case of fire. The writer also believes with “Sandlapper” writing in last week's “Pilot” that there will be no dearth of candidates in ensuing elections in Jasper county caused by the unsafe condition of the court house. With him and Mr. Taber we agree that we can get along very well with the present structure for several years yet, and until such time as the county will have five or six million dollars added to its taxable property made by the extensive ditching in northern and other parts of county, and the consequent appreciation of land values in the county. We will then be better able financially to do

the improving and by that time it will perhaps be needed., George W. Reigle will soon again embark in the grocery business in the stand recently vacated by Mr. Bloom, where Mr. Reigle formerly sold groceries for several years. George will as of yore undoubtedly make a success of this business, if his health permits. George A. Chappell has recently purchased the brick residence property owned by O. B. Mclntire, which is situated on North Ohio street. Hon. Anson Wolcott of White county Indiana, is spending the winter in Washington, D. C., atd will be in the lobbies of the National Legislature, the most <1 the time. He is greatly interested in legislation looking toward the restoration of silver to its proper place in the finances of the United States, we trust his wishes in this matter may be realized, but we fear there is no hope for any such legislation to become a law. The U. S. Senate might possibly pass such a bill, but it is very doubtful if the House would sanction it, and if it should, President Cleveland would veto it; in which case, it, would be utterly impossible *o pass such a bill over his veto. So there is “nothing in it”. See?
Electric Bitters. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50c. and 1.00 per bottle at Frank B. Meyer’s Drug Store. Texas Land For Sale, or Trade.
