William Walker, north of town, lost a very fine mare a few days since by being caught in a wire fence. Isaac Glazebrook has a fine new 8% horse power gasolene engine running in his blacksmith shop. It is a very perfect machine and was put in by the General Supply Co., of Rensselaer. Ira E. Rinehart is at work with a large force of men putting in cement walks again after the season of enforced idleness. The weather is perfect now for doing good work and we predict for him a busy year. He says there is no further danger from frost, and that the work in prospect will keep adouble forye of men constantly at work until fall. A little girl about twelve years old, living with a Mr. Wagner on the Monnett farm just north of Rensselaer, was badly injured in a steel harrow last Thursday. It appears that she was driving the team around the field while the man in charge was talking to a neighbor and in turning a corner the harrow in some manner caught the incautious young driver, a tooth being driven into her body about two inches. The Presbytery of Logansport met at Winimac last week. It is now composed of thirty-eight ministers and forty-three congregations. The attendance was large, and nearly all the congregations were represented by elders. The weather was all that could be desired, and the hospitality and kindness of the people were boundless, which contributed largely to make the meeting pleasant as well as profitable. The. Presbyterian congregation of Rensselaer was represented by Rev, M. R. Paradis and Elder D. E. Hollister, and was honored for the first time, it is said, by having its pastor elected as moderator for six months. Rev. Paradis presided at Winamac and is expected to preside at all the meetings to be held during the six months, and to deliver the discourse at the opening of the fall meeting which is to be held in Monticello in September. Much progress was reported from different fields, and the delegates manifested the right spirit to continue aggressive work during the year they now enter upon. - £ Effort is being made to have Robert G. Ingersoll lecture in Rensselaer. Rensselaer is pre-eminently a church town, but her people are of that broad minded class that are not afraid to hear their convictions criticised.

Jordan Township.

House cleaning and garden making are the main occupations this week. Farmers are busy plowing for corn. Oats are looking well. The Nafziger boys have just finished a few days shelling for Will Keen. Henry Barger of this vicinity, who has been a suffer with rheumatism for the past three years, is no better. He can not walk with out the aid of two canes. The meeting at Union Sunday evening was largely attended. Miss Lizzie Winger has returned from her home in Wisconsin and will work for Mrs. Will Keen this summer. Commodore Snow, residing near Blackford, was in this vicinity last week on his way home from Goodland, where he had been to see Dr. Pratt, who has been treating him for an abscess on the neck, on which he operated eight or ten weeks ago, taking out severel pieces of bone. To the patient’s surprise upon examination the Dr. discharged him, telling him he was getting along nicely. We are glad to know he is getting along so well as it was thought it would be the cause of hisdeath

staying in Mt. Ayr for two or three weeks, is going to his home in Texas soon. He has been absent from home since last August. Quite a number of young people attended a social dance in the country Saturday evening. All reported a good time. Maude Seward took her departure for Rensselaer Sunday, where she expects to sojourn a week or two. N. Parks has moved out of the hotel and moved to the north part of town.

The Iron bridge at the Sapp crossing is completed and we hope to see the grade finished in the near future.^ Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Foresman of Goodland spent Sunday with Mrs. C. E. Sunderland. Will Evans is running the engine for W. D. Foresman. J. O. Sunderland is about over the effects of being shot. Miss Lizzie Dennis is attending school at Valparaiso.

William Essen and wife of Brook, ware visiting in town last Sunday. Mai Powell and family of Beaver City came down to see his mother Sunday. W. D. Foresman was in Chi cago last Monday, The total number of votes cast for mayor at the republican convention Monday night was 349; McCoy 211, Wasson 100, Burnham 27, Leopold 8, scattering 3. To be candid that is a pretty fair showing for a town that can show less than 500 qualified voters, probably not over 460, of whom there are a few who do not flock with republicans. And it is not claimed that even all of the republicans were participants in the convention.

FORESMAN.

Miss Blanche McKeever is quite ill wit! the mumps, Mrs. Imes certainly has a most beautiful millinery display. Fred Reeves, the Remington tailor, was in the city Tuesday. Another penetrating rain has “set in” as the Pilot goes to press this Thursday morning. Mrs. Hershman has added a nice line of dry goods, ladies furnishings and notions to her millinery stock. Rensselaer ladies are fortunate in having so tasteful a milliner as Mrs. L. M. Imes. It is a pleasure even for the novice to inspect the pretty hats and trimmings, so stylish at Mrs. Imes. Nelson Morris will have planted on his little farm in Wheatfield township 1,000 acres of corn this spring. J.H.S. Ellis wasin Monticello Mon day visiting his father, who lives near that place. Misses May and Maud Hemphill, and Messrs. Fred Burger and Fred Bowman of Remington, spent Sunday with friends in Rensselaer.

An Election Query.

Editor Pilot: The Republican and Democratic parties have made their nominations for city officers. My query is how shall a man, who does not belong to either of the old parties, vote in this case? He has an interest in city affairs. He wants taxes low and expenditures as low as is compatible with proper improvements. Which set of paen will be most economical? Which will try to promote order in society and good citizenship to the greatest degree? When we look over the list of names and scrutinize the men who compose the two tickets we conclude that the men who lead the best lives will make the best officers, as a rule; the men who will have the backbone to stand up for morality, sobriety and good citizenship; who will not compromise with evil for political advantage. It seems to me following list of names would look after the best interests of the city and its inhabitants: ' i Mayor, John Eger; Treasurer, John W. Paxton; Clerk, Schuyler Irwin; Marshal, Thomas McGowan; Councilmen, Ist ward, Felix French
