Harvey Kannal, veterinarian, was at Indianapolis Jan. 6th, and 7th, in attendance at the reorganization of the Indiana Association of Veterinary Graduates into the new society called the Indiana State Veterinary Association, Dr. Kannal was secretary of the old association and had the new one not been formed would probably have succeeded to the presidency. As it is he was elected Chairman of the Board of Censors, the most responsible position in the society, as it entails a large amount of writing and makes him practically the watch dog of all applications for membership.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1897.
BABB, —Mrs. Eleanor Ann, wife of Henery M. Babb, at her home in this city, Thursday January 7th, 1897, at three P. M. Age 81 years and eight months. Deceased was born at Lynchburgh, Va., May Bth, 1815. After her marriage to Mr. Babb they drifted west with the tide of immigration, finaly locating in Rensselaer, where they have since lived, except for a short time when they were engaged in hotel business at Remnington. She was a kind conscientious Christian, and having learned the true way, - endeavored to fulfill every obligation of the faith. The funeral services were held from the church of her adoption, Saturday forenoon at 10:30 o'clock Elders D. E. Halstead and F. L. Austin officiating. The remains were interred in Weston cemetery. BAYLOR.—At the home of her daughter, Mrs. Philip Bine, Thursday events* Janaury 7th, 1897. Aged 84 years, nine months and fourteen days." Deceased was born in Pennsyvania in the year 1812, Her husband, Jacob S. Baylor, died Dec. 2, 1880, in Renesselaer. Seven children were born to them, of whom six survive to morn the loss of a kind and indulgent mother. The funeral was held from the Methodist church, of which she has long been a member, Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The service were conducted by Rev. R. D. Utter, Interment was made in Weston cemetery.
Judge Thompson allowed the plaintiff, in the Cox vs. Lewis case, judgment for $30.96, attorney fee of $lO and costs. The amount sued for was about S9O, being items for extras in building a house. Miss Gertrude Hopkins has been acquitting herself very nicely as a court stenographer. The case of A. Leopold, indited by the grand jury for renting the room over his clothing store for gambling purposes, was continued until next term. Prosecutor Cbizum thinks that with tho information gained this term and his better acquaintance with “the lay of the land” he will be able to bring Beveral smooth offenders before the bar of justice at the next term of court. We wish to give this tip to those, who may be congratulating themselves on escape from merited inditements, that there will be a grand jury at the next term of court, The appointment of Charles Hanley as depnty prosecutor is probably the best that could have been made, and his “maiden speech” to the jury in the Kiser larceny case was a very creditable effort. Mr. Hanley has so thorough a knowledge of the county, and is so free from compromising alliances with the law breaking element that he will be of great value to the prosecutor. The grand jury returned twelve inditements. Judge Thompson is certainly a great | worker and is disposing of business very I rapidly. The docket was a long one but ' it will all be cleaned up at this term. He is also making a good record here, and in the sister counties, in probate matters,and administrators are being brought up standing where there appears reason for so doing. An instance is reported from Benton county of an estate of S2BOO, wherein the administrator* having actually rendered no service at all, put in a claim for S7OO, and his attorney SSOO, for drawing up the claim. Judge Thompson used strong language in reprimanding both -administrator and attorney. The former he allowed nothing and the attorney had to be content with a $lO fee. The jury was not out long in finding a verdict of not guilty in the celebrated lap robe case, wherein Henson Kiser was the defencant. In this case George Dunn made his first appearance before a jury. Deputy Sheriff McColly returned Sunday from Kentucky with his prisoner, J. J. Hieronymus, indicted for embezzlement, and extradited for trial in Jasper county. He had been arrested and was being held in the Lynchburg jail. On a change of venue in the case of Chas. J. Roberts, charged with violation of the chattle mortgage laws, Judge Thompson appointed Jesse Wilson a special judge to try the case. Roberts it appears borrowed some money of GeoK. Hollingsworth, giving a racing mare as security. Hollingsworth failed to record the mortgage within ten days, and because of such neglect, Roberts took the mare oat of the county. The case was tried Wednesday and is being argued this morning. At 3:30 the jury is still out with small prospects of agreeing.

Court.
A Double Marker.
Besides Canton there is one other spot of national immensity in the Buckeye commonwealth. That spot is Sardinia. The place may have received its name from the density of its population or from their enlightenment upon political issues, and the overflow of both seems to have run down the hill and created another town, sometimes spoken of by travelers, called Cincinnati. In Sardinia there is a sardine publishing a paper called the Sardinian, and in a late issue is found an article which will at once explain the mystery of there being two centers of gravity of rival importance in so common a state as Ohio.
Ask any well informed person where Cincinnati is, and he will probably hesitate a little, and then, as the light of remembrance comes into his eyes, reply, "Cincinnati, oh, yes, that’s the town down in south west Ohio, near Sardinia, where Henry Vincent’s been ‘sawingwood’ and waiting since the election.” Well, Henry is going to come up to Jasper county, while he waits, and saw a little wood for the Pilot, and you may be sure that his visit will be mighty welcome. He is expected in a few days, and the following are the compliments spoken of as being dished up to him and his most esteemable wife b*y the Sardinian: A NEW YEARS BIRTHDAY-SUR-PRISE. Ever since Henry Vincent moved to town his friends in the outlying suburbs have been in frequent quiet conferences about "something, we won’t tell, you know,” Henry thinking all the while they was "just a talkin’ wimmen folks fashion” as it were. But yesterday he suddenly changed his mind. It seems one of the crowd told him she was “coming down New Years,” so when their rig drove in first he thought nothin’ strange like, but in they came, rig after rig, till seven loads of jolly home folks with baskets and boxes, jugs, jars and tin pails piled out till someone told Henry to “put up the wood saw, go in and strip the overalls for the girls won’t do a thing to you to-day,” with emphasis on the to-day, for in addition to New Years it was also his 35th birthday anniversary, and the girls kept their promise. To give some idea of the crowd we obtain the following list as photographer Stephenson could rejcall them. There was ‘Lish’ | Stroad, wife and son Charles; John Hoop and*wife; Wm. Robison, wife and , two little girls; Doc. Tracey and family; Mac Badgele.y and family of Mt. Orab; Misses Lillian and Gertrude Stroad, Annie Hoop, Gertrude Robinson, Mella, Verna and Lee Shaw from Sugar Tree, and John Robbins, who didn’t explain to our informant which branch of the family he was, but there’s reason to think he’ll graft on somewhere —total 28, and then some absent, such timid scions as Oscar Robison and Wilbur Loudecback and—but we were advised to be careful about naming any more ‘young’ men. The readers of The Sardinian know from that list of familiar names there “wuz plenty to eat and fun to have” the entire day. Speeches were short but the yarns well proportioned for a New Year effort, there being some inclination to keep even with the whoppers recently brought in "from Ulinnoise” by elder Stroad, and Robison looked round several times wishing for Mac Shaw, Bob Prudy, John Snyder, Doc Thompsoo, or some others of acknowledged veracity, to help him out. Before leaving, the thoughtfulness of the occasion turned to making up a basket of delicacies to tempt the appetite of the poor little OrphaToile, whose earthly pleasures seem destined not to extend to another New. Year’s dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent may well feel delighted for being made the center of an attack from such a circle of relatives and friends in the hospitable and big hearted manner in which it was organized, though plenty of us can witness that “its the just way they do things out there.” Married people you can’t afford to miss Dr. Willets’ lecture the 25th, on the “Model Wife.”
Grand Jury Report.
The grand jury has finished its work, and returned twelve indictments and the following report: We would most respectfully report to the court that on Friday afternoon, January Bth, 1897 we visited and inspected the Alms house of said county; we found everything in good shape and the inmates of said house well clothed, fed, and properly bedded and reasonably comfort able, and we approve all we found at the Alms house and we know of no adverse report to make or' to censure anyone. We also visited the county jail which we found reasonable safe for the confinement of prisoners; except the water closet seemed to have some stench and the ventilation of jail proper was very poor and would recommend that the commissioners be directed to remedy the same. All of which is respectfully submitted for the court’s consideration.
