THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. JULY 2, 1896.

When we consider that the intestines are about five times as long as the body, we can realize the intense suffer ing experienced when they become inflamed. DeWitt's Colic & Cholera Cure subdues inflamation at once and completely removes the difficulty. A. F. Long.

It is stated in the foreign dispatches that some of the older and unprogressive European cities that have never had street cars have adopted the innovation of horse cars and placed orders in Amer ica for twenty-five thousand horses. It is believed that this sudden demand will.make the horse market stronger. The Eastern Star Chapter and their friends to the number of seventy-five met at the home of Mrs. M. L. Spitler last Thursday afternoon and united in a picnic supper upon, the lawn. It had been the intention of the chapter to go to Remington that day bpt the weather prevented. It is needless to say th at-the party enjoyed themselves hugely.

Bernhart Paulus, of Newton county, called Friday and paid another year’s subscription to the Pilot. Early Friday morning Mr. Paulus wandered off in search of berries, and not taking particular note of the distance or direction traveled until somewhat near the noon hour, he was surprised to find upon taking cognizance of his surroundings that he did not know where he was, and had to turn around two or three times before he could recall that his name was Barney, and that it was about time for dinner. So coming out again upon the public highway he got his bearings and headed toward Rensselaer. Arrived here he, like the traditional fisherman, (for Barney did not have good luck in finding berries) he purchased some choice specimens of the raspberry variety to take home to his good wife: and this is notice to Mrs. Paulus that her worthy husband did not earn the berries by the sweat of his brow.

Christie Vick was down from Shelby .Monday. He related the particulars of the shooting of Andrew DeFries by his brother-in-law, Heman Hasper, Sunday morning, and considered the act a most deliberate attempt at murder. It appears that Christie gave a public ball in the DeFries house Saturday night at which a luncheon was to have been served by Hasper, who was employed by DeFries. For some reason Hasper refused to serve the lunch, and in the morning DeFries quarreled with him over the matter. It is said that DeFries struck at Hasper, When the latter drew a revolver and shot the former in the abdomen. It is probable that the wound will prove fatal. Hasper gave himself up to the officers at Crown Point and is now in jail there.

Walter M. White and Fred Phillips have inagunrated regular monthly horse sales, the date of the first sale to be given in next week’s issue of the Pilot. Sale yards will be fitted up in the year of. White & Son’s new livery barn, find accommodations will be furnished free to the patrons for the day. This is an enterprise that will be of marked benefit to the farmers of Jasper County. It will stimulate better prices, as all the regular buyers will attend and sharp Competition and an opportunity to pick jjp a load in a single day will prompt the highest bids; Other towns have been holding regular sales with marked success and there i 8 no reason why Rensselaer should not be right in the swim. Both Messers White and Phillips are thorough horsemen and will undoubtedly build up these sales to notable business events. Seveaal farmers are already fitting their horses for these sales, and expect to become regular patrons. Those who have taken horses from this vicinity to the sales in other towns have realized satisfactory prices.

Farewell Old Court House.

The following order was issued by the commissioners yesterday: “It is ordered by the board of commissioners that Wednesday, July 8, 1896. at 2 p. m,. is set as the day and hour when the old court house shall be vacated and placed under the control of the contractor for the erection of the new court house, for demolition and removal.” It is proposed by the citizens to have the county officers, officers of the court, and all other citizens including the mayor of Rensselaer and. staff, take some approporate action to com memmorate the event, and they are consequently invited to meet in mass convention, in the court room at. 2 p. m. on Wednesday next, and take such action and pass such resolutions as may be deemed wise to spread on record. The commissioners have rented for the court house proper the banquet hall of the Odd Fellows, at a rental of 8200 for tne year. The clerk’s office and vault will be moved east across the street onto the lot owned by .the county, the contract for which has been let for 8150: All the other offices will be located in the jail. Sheriff Hanley moving into his own residence, the county being thus put to no extra expense on that account: The contract fqr building the new court house was’let last Fri day to Heinsman &Bro., Noblesville, Ind., for $89,182, the lowest bidder. The bonds were sold to M. B. Seitz of Chicago at a premium of 816,900. the face of the bonds being 882,500. drawing 6 per cent interest, dated July 1, 1896. $50,000 of the bonds are due July 2, 1926. and payable at the option of the county after July 1, 1916; $32,500 are due July 1, 1921. and payable July 1. 1911. If the county pays the bonds at the first optional date the interest will be $89,250, or S6B more than the contract price of the building, through by deducting the premium paid on the bonds, $16,900. the real interest ’s but $72,350. However if the bonds are not paid until due. the full interest will be *8138.750. less premium $16,900 leaves the modest net interest cost of sl2l, 850; to this sdd 882,500 and the total cost of the courthouse, unfurnished and without extras, is $204,350. Work of demolition will begin next week. W. J. Imes returned to Chicago yesterday after a few days at home.

The Bums That Got Ditched At The Tank.

While tbe.tiines are so bad A good chance I bad. To tramp out in search tor a job. The place where I live, no work.would they Rive So place unto place I have trod. I have rode the freight bumpers. The blind baggage, too; And when by £he brakie. I'm jerked. Down the track.then I wait. To catch the next freight. And to read the bums names on tbe tank. There is Brooklyn Harry, Duskie Joe, and Clever Larrie. Chi. Dan. Boston Kid, Handout Hank. Witli Cineie the Crip; also Javacan Jack, Were the names that were caryed on the tank. The train came at last, Around the tank that I passed. And I waited my chance to get on. She took water, then started again eastward, And I with the train, went along. The car door was open And in 1 went mopin’. But the door would neither move not- would yank. So about the third town, They ditched me to the ground. And I read the bum s names on the tank. There was Sloppy the Boozer. Sleepy the Snoozer.' Alcohol Jim, Cyclone Frank, with Gooseberry Red. Also Milwaukee Ted. Were the names that were carved on the tank. At last I got through with many hard trials, For the poor tramp has many, you know. I hope I can strike some work I can do. For a-bumming, I don’t like to go. It may be a pleasure to those that know how But to me it is something quite rank; For I can’t bum a handout or claim a clothesline Like the bums with their names on the tank. There is St. Louis Jimmie, Also ’Frisco Skinnie. Omaha Jack, Cineie Frank—like statues of fame Stands forth every name. Of the bums that got ditched at the tank. E. W. S. Mrs. C. E. Hershman is offering millinery below cost to close out all the season’s goods now on hand. Some very pretty hats and everything at great bargains. Near depot.
