We are anxious to do a httle good in this world and can think of no pleasanter or better way to do it than by recommending One Minute Cough Cure as a preventer of pneumonia, consumption and other serious lung troubles that follow neglected colds.

Another runaway occurred on Friday, it also fortunately ending with no serious results.

Findley left Tuesday for Shelby, 0., where he will resume his pastoral work after a few weeks of recuperation, providing his health is regained sufficiently to permit of it. He delivered two very impressive sermons last Sunday at the Christian church, and both morning and evening the house was filled to its utmost capacity. It is not probable that a regular pastor
will be engaged in Rev. Findley’s place here for the present, as there is a strong desire to have him return if his health will permit. He had greatly endeared himself to his congregation and they feel his loss severely. Rensselaer people should show their appreciation of B ountain Park assembly meetings. The grounds are much improved this year. Those furnishing their own tents have ground privileges free. A good sized tent can be rented for entire time of meeting for 82 by applying for some early to Robt. Parker Supt. Remington Ind. It seems quite probable that an incendiary is chargeable with the burning last Thursday night of the barn on the premises occupied by C. C. Sigler as it is known that the bam has been unoccupied for some time. The fact that burglaries were attempted in other parts of the town while the fire was in progress is strong evidence that the thieves did it. Evert Nowels, wife and child of Trinidad, Colo., arrived Sunday at the home pf Robert Randle, where they will remain a few days before going to housekeeping for themselves. Mr. Nowels is a son of Ezra Nowels, Receiver of Public Money at LaMar, Colo., well known in Jasper county, where he has many relatives. The son went with his father eight years ago. The prospects for a good attendance atFountain Park Assembly camp meeting near Remington July 17th to 27th are very flattering. A number have already sent in requests for tent privileges during the entire meeting. An excellent programme is assured. On July 23d; the Hon. E. D. Crumpacker will deliver an address. Monticello Band will give concert on July 22d Rev. J. H. O. Smith of Chicago will speak on Christian Endeavor day Tuesday July 21st. The new cornet band is now hard at work under the able instruction of Prof. John Haley. The membership as now organized is as follows: Theodore George, solo cornet; Frank Meyer, solo cornet; True Woodsworth, Ist cornet; Earl Duval, solo alto; Clyde Reeve, Ist alto; Albert Marshall, 2nd alto; Glen Grant, clarionet; Vernis Kressler, tuba; Zern Wright, bass drum; Frank Kelly, snare drum: Earl Mann, Ist tenor; Frank Say let, slide trombone; Bert Rhodes, slide trombone; baritqpe.
A joint installation of the I. O. O. F. and D. of R. was held Thursday night, July 2, at their superb hall in Odd Fellows Temple. Several guests were in attendance, besides the immediate families of the members. The following officers of the D. of R. were installed: Mrs. Mattie Bowman, N. G.; (Ora Duvall, V. G. not present;) Alice Irwin. Secretary; Mrs, Nettie Hoover, Treasurer.—l. O. O. F.; Elvin Overton, N. G.; Homer Hopkins, V. G.; J. F. Antrim, Secretary; Geo. W. Goff, Treasurer.

Miss Lizzie French and Miss Maggie Lang will be in attendance from this place. They will be absent about two weeks visiting places of interest in the east.
Gus Phillips is at home for a short va cation from his theatrical work. He has just concluded an engagement that took him through the Black Hills and the wild northwest, Gus will join the Edna May and Cecil Spooner Dramatic Company, managed <by B. S. Spooner, father of the two stars named above. It is the finest repertoire company in America, playing only in the large cities and carry ing fifteen people. They will begin rehearsals in New York August 10th. Mr. Phillips has risen by hard work and natural ability to an independent station in his field of labor, where his services are sought after on remunerative terms. The theartre going'public is destined to hear many and favorable things of Rensselaer's talented histrion. It might be within the realm of possibilities that he retires from the stage and organizes a first class theatre here, which through his knowledge of the business and executive ability could be made so reputable that Rensselaer would gain an enviable name for having good performances. His present engagement is quite remarkable as .the Misses Edna May and Cecil Spooner have attained a wide reputaton thejpast two years as the foremost of of their class, having this season refused an urgent call to accept an engagement in Europe, and his connection with so popular a company will give him rare advantages for advancement and success.
The July number of the Arena is fully up to the usual excellent standard of that untrammelled and outspoken Review. The Arena is unique among magazines in its wide range of subjects, its Catholicism and breadth of thought and its fearlessness in dealing with all questions affecting the moral and social wellbeing of the people. It is essentially a free lance, recognizing allegiance only to the broad principles of truth, justice, and liberty. The opening article of this
number entitled “A Just Judge,” by J. B. Follet, is of exceeding interest, being an admirably clear and concise sketch of Judge Henry Clay Caldwell, of the United States Circuit Court, one of the most remarkable figures in cur’rent American history. His sound views on the money question are especially interesting at the present time. This is a very pronounced number on the money question, the Editor contributing two strong papers, an.d some ringing editorials on the subject, while H. F. Bartine in an article on “American Financial Policy , refutes in a masterly way the argu ments of a recent contributor to The “Forum.” Prof. Frank Parsons continues his powerful and convincing series of papers on “The Telegraph Monopoly,” and John O. Y eiser furnishes a striking and suggestive paper entitled “Are we becoming a Homeless Nation?” Other articles of general interest are’ “The Imperial Power in the Realm of Truth,” “Thosophy and H. P. Blavatsky,” “Woman in Society To-day,” “Shall We Have a National Sanitarium for Consumpives? ’ “The Cure for Inebriety, ‘Two Golden Volumes,” and “Anjnteresting Representative of a Vanishing Race, by the Editor. A full page portrait of Judge Henry C. Caldwell forms the frontpiece of this number, which al- • so contains full page portraits of Jay Cooke, Wm. P. St. John, A. M., and Judge Walter Clarke, LL. D„ with nu merous other illustrations. The serials “The Valley Path” and “Between Two Worlds” continue to grow in strength, and on the whole the July number shows the Arena at its best, having a table of contents in which all classes of readers will find something of interest.
Deafness Cannot be Cured

The Other Fellow’s Dollars.
Editor of Pilot: I have received a number of letter’s from friends and relatives accusing me of infidelity to the “G. O. P.,” others saying I was a crazy “Pop”" (thank you gentlemen) and will say in return, if your finances are such that yo-u consider one dollar as good as two and the dollar in the other fellows pocket, vote for McKinley and gold. Of course the Republican congress next winter will pass a bill (if they get “thar”) authorizing the fellow who got the dollar to put his picture on the mar-’ ket as money and you can buy one of them for four bushels of wheat, eightbushels of corn or perhaps 100 lbs. of pork. The engraving and printing will be done by the government and they wiH be very fine pictures. That is all you will ever see of those “sound dollars” you are voting into the other fellow’s pocket. B. F. Alter. Russiaville, Ind., July 1,1896.

Fire.
Last Thursday night about eleven o'clock the fire department was called out to extinguish the flames that had got under headway in the barn on Walter* Porter’s property, the residence of Tom Sigler, on Main street. By the time the • fire company arrived on the scene the fire was beyond control and nothing could be done. Nothing was stalled or stored in the barn and the loss centers in the building alone which was probably worth S3OO, with no insurance. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary.
The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Caillouette, druggist, Beaversville, lit, says: “To Dr. King’s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with * la grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told that I could not live Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won’t keep store or house without it.” Get a free trial hottie at F. B. Meyer’s drug store.
