Dr. Victor E. Loughridge.

After an illness of about two weeks death came to relieve the suffering of Rensselaer’s talented and highly respected young physician, Dr. Victor E. Loughridge, on the morning of Saturday, March 21, 18$6 at the age of 32 years, 9 months and 22 days. . The year is but half gone since the esteemed father, Dr. J. H. Loughridge was laid to rest on Weston Hill, and this double affliction falls heavily on the devoted family. Dr. Vic, as he was familliarly called was really an excellent physician and surgeon, having had the advantage of his father’s ripe experience and thorough training during all the years of his medical preparation and early practice. Victor E. Loughridge graduated from the Rensselaer high school in 1880, and from Ann Arbor, Mich., high school in 1881. He then attended the Ann Arbor university for several months, after which he read medicine under his father for several years before entering Rush' Medical College, from which institntion he was graduated in 1888. He at once began the practice of his profession with • his father. He married Miss Alice Barnum, of La Porte, Ind., Oct. 10, 1883, but she died the followinß year. He was again married March 7, 1894, to Miss Farrie Wilcox, who survives him. Their only child is an infant girl. The K. P. lodge Jiad charge of the obsequies, Rev. Paradis and Dr. Uttero fficiated at the ceremonies. The floral tributes were elaborate and choice. The funeral occured from the house at 2 p. m. Monday, and the cortege was one of the largest ever seen in Rensselaer.

Court Notes.

A large number of eases have been disposed of this term of court, but few of general interest. The greater interest centered, in the case against John Greve, who was indicted at last term of court for attempted bribery of a juror. This case was tried by jury with judge Truman F. Palmer, of Monticello, on the bench as special judge. The defendant did not deny that he gave Juror Worland one dollar, but testified that he thought his case, which was before the jury at the time, had already been decided in his favor, and he only meant to show his gratitude toward the jury by “treating” them. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Peter Trudeau pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and battery, in that

he tried to kiss another man’s wife, and was fined one dollar and costs. Several Remingtonians were to have been tried for gambling, but the main prosecuting witness, Charles MeCully, got so drunk, or was made so drunk, that he was unable to give in his testimony, so he was fined ten dollars and sent to jail for five days.

REMINGTON.

Correspondence es People’s Pilot. A very quiet wedding took place at the residence of Rev. S. V. McKee on Saturday evening, the 21st inst, the contracting parties being Mr. William Kenyon and Miss Grace Emery, both of Remington. None of the relatives of either party were present except Miss Mabel Kenyon, a sister of the groom. We congratulate the young couple and wish them prosperity and happiness all through the journey of life. Lewis Erb our grocery man is engaged in building a good cellar and ;is tiling the same on the property he recently bought of R. R. Petit, on the corner of New - -York and New Jersey streets. He contemplates building a good house, and we are satisfied he will accomplish this, judging from the amount of stone and other materials already on the ground. It is a credit to our town to have good improvements made. Alf Snyder, who has been in a telegraph office in Union City, Indiana, for some time past is now installed in the office in Remington, having recently taken the- place of Mr. Blessingham who has returned to Logansport, Ind. Rev. E. A. Goodwin, N. B. Minister, is now occupying the residence recently vacated by the gentleman who has removed to Kankakee, Ills.

The Fountain Assembly meetings, under the direction of the Christian church of Remington, will be held this year for ten days, beginning on the 17th day of July and closing on the 27th day of July, 1896. The meetings will he held at Fountain Park, one mile north of Remington, and the people will be entertained by some excellent speakers of national reputation. The church management anticipates great success for these meetings in every respect, and everybody is cordially invited to attend and assist in making them better, if possible, than they were last year.

‘ Prod Burger, who has been so seriously sick with fever for some time past, is now on our streets again. He says he is all right now but he looks a little pale and thin. Mr. Beasley’s little girl, who has been ill about one month past, is now reported to be much better, and it is to be hoped that she will speedily recover. Esq. George P. Bloom has removed from the office of George Griffin to the east room of Dr. Ramsay s office, where he will now be found ready at all times to dispense justice to all seeking legal adjudication.

James G. Cannon of Irpquois county, Illinois, was in Remington last Saturday, looking after the Trudeau farm which he has leased, and transacting other business. He would have moved over here before now had it not been for the bad condition of the roads, which he says are worse in Illinois than they are here. He will occupy the farm as soon as he can get his goods there, which will probably be in a few davs.

Mr. Preacher —you who lecture your congregation so often on the sacred duties of going to church and paying your salary—how much have you done to arouse public indignation against this national disgrace of the congressional bar-room? How many times have your brethren in Washington preached against it? How many times has the chaplain of the house, or the chaplain of the senate, prayed to the Most High God to blast with His divine wrath the abominations which those chaplains knew to exist within sixty feet of where they prayed ? * * * He is dead. Appoint your funeral committee to escort the lifeless body back to his home; furnish this committee with plenty to eat and to drink and to smoke on their doleful journey; appropriate from the common treasury the money to pay for the burial; endow the widow with the salary for the “unexpired term.” Do all this, solons of this Christian republic!—and then go back and tell your congressional bar-room to kill another one. * * * Here is a paragraph from a democbratic newspaper which supported Clevelapd in 1892, and which found no language too savage to use towards those who opposed Mr. Cleveland and who predicted that he would carry out the very schemes he has since manipulated.

The Middle of the Road.

Btamber on, you proud and haughty •weti-beaded plutocracy, and you r tg■orant and misguided followers' Stop yeur ears to shut out the truth; close jwor eyes to the vision of desolation bstfore you; do not let reason have its ■way; count as naught the logie of •vents; do not think of reason, but move on in ignorance, blinded by prejudice! You’ll wake up by and by, but your impotent rage will not avail you. Yonr derision and scorn of the people's movement, of their struggles for industrial freedom, only adds strength to their purposes, energy to their efforts and zeal for the cause, "lay on, Macduff, and damned be he who flret cries, ‘hold, enough!’ ’’—New Forum. The populist who submits oftenest to being interviewed this year by the plutocratic press will likely go on record m the biggest fool.

Occasionally the Globe-Democrat forgets itself and admits that the Populists might carry a state or two, although the party, it says, is dead. In a recent issue it speaks out the following: "Chairman Harrity, of the Democratic national committee, thinks the sßaatton for his party in the presidential canvass is not as gloomy as it seemed a few months ago to be. To a certain extent there is some justification for this view. The mischievous folly of the Republican silverites in attempting to thrust the 16 to 1 issue into politics has caused some thoughtful Republicans to look for a serious contest in the national convention on that question. That would, of course, mean that there might be a rupture in the party in the mining states, and that some of these states might go to the Populist or the Democratic party. However, nothing of this sort is likely to happen. The silverites will be so badly beaten in the convention that they will see the folly of injecting the free coinage issue into the campaign. Nevertheless the pernicious political activity of the Tellers and the Carters has given ‘the Democrats a little hope of carrying a state or two Outside of th« Gulf tier, and the campaign may b* a little livelier than anybody looked for until the senate changed the bond bill into a silver measure.” The reader cannot help being imprfessed with the idea conveyed by th« above, that the success of either of the two old parties depends upon the number and magnitude of the mistake* made by the other —no merit in 'hemselves.
