# THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. MARCH 5, 1896.

The Pinkamink Overflow.

To the Editor of the Peoplo’c Pilot. I ’desire, through your paper, to call the attention of our esteemed co-operator in the development of Jasper. county, Benjamin F. Gifford, whose great work of reclaiming the wet lands of this locality is tally appreciated, to certain conditions that have resulted from the changing of the channel of the Pinkamink,and which greatly damage lands situated in Marion, Barkley and Union townships, in the valley of the Iroquois river. The lands have not only been inundafed where they were previously free from water, but travel has been almost made impossible at the crossing at Burk’s bridge. The grades at this bridge have been quite impassable and dangerous most of - this winter from overflow of water and ice. Lands along the Iroquois have now become worthless, though they were good hay and pasturage tracts before said drainage was done. The county has spent a great deal of money at the road crossings for bridges and grades, which would have been efficient had not the Pinkamink channel been changed, which is about five miles north of the original course. Mr. Giffords’s cutting a large dredge ditch through Barkley has been a great help to portions of the county, but it has flooded other portions mentioned. Now I think the Hon. Board of County Commissioners and the several Township Trustees should call Ms. Gifford’s attention to these facts at once and ask him to take the waters of the Pinkamink down as far as the old mouth of that stream where it originally emptied into the Iroquois, and explain to him the damage it is doing to all concerned and the remedy for it. I think he would willingly continue his dredge on down the Iroquois to the point Suggested, and I also think that if that was 1 done it would solve the question of taking out the rock in the rapids at Rensselaer, rendering such work unnecessary to thoroughly drain the Iroquois valley. I realize that Mr. Gifford has done much for Jasper county and there is a reluctance of the people 1 to embarrass him in any way in his great Wbrk of reclaiming the worthless swamps. It iB my opinibh that when the matter is properly presented to him he will willingly remedy thd defect in his drainage system and thereby remove all cause for complaint, as it will not be of serious expense to him. D. H. Yeoman.

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 tAnic 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.

Mrs. C. E. Hershman will sell all her winter hats at cost for the next thirty days. Near depot.

Your Boy Won’t Lire A Month.

So Mr. Gilman Brown of 34 Mill St., South Gardner, Mass., was told by the doctors. His son had Lung trouble, following Typhoid Malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors, who finally gave him up, saying: ‘’Your boy won’t live a month.” He tried Dr. King's New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. He says he owes his present good health to the use of Dr. King's New Discovery, and knows it to be the best in the world for Lung trouble. Trial Bottles Free at Frank B. Meyer’s drug store, “Give me a liver regulator and I can regulate the world,” said a genius. The druggist handed him a bottle of De Witt's Little Early Risers, the famous little pills. A. F. Long. Druggist.

Wayne, Ind., testifies that he was cured of a cough of two years standing, caused by La Grippe, by Dr. King’s New Discovery. B. F. Merrill, Baldwinsville, Mass., says that he has used and recommended it and never knew it to fail and rather have it than any doctor, because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming, 222 E. 28th St., Chicago, always keeps it hand and has no fear of croup, because it instantiy relieves.

Condensed Testimony

A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.

JfW. 'J lfßae’g Lecture at' SloHttrrllo H *h the Cordial Approbation or Competont Critte* Mrs. Emma Mont Meßae lectured at Monticello at the May festival given there on Monday, and The Herald of that city says: -If all the faculty of Purdue University measure up to the same standard intellectually as Mrs. Emma Mont Mcßae that institution is well equipped. Our people had a demonstration of her fitness for the chair which she holds at Purdue in her lecture Monday night in the opening of the May School course. Her subject was “The New Democracy in Literature,” and while it was more didactic in style than if designed purely for popular entertainment, it was a delight to all who followed her from deginning to close. Her purpose was to show the growth of the humane idea in literature or how the brotherhood of man, almost unknown as the theme of song or story in early ages, had developed in books from “The Gentle Shepherd” of Alien Ramsay until it now pervades modern literature. Mrs. Mcßae speaks without a leaf of man-script or any notes whatever and with a charming and easy delivery which carries her hearers with her whether the fields are new or old into which she leads them. She is evidently, a lady of wide reading, and her lecture showed a power of generalization which is said to be a rare element of the feminine mind. It was an effort of very high order and reflected credit not only upon her but the institution which she represents. She expressed herself privately as much pleased with her audience, saying she had never had better attention or more intelligent appreciation.’’ See notice of her engagement here in another place.
