The company offered to compromise with the heirs by paying three thousand dollars. Immensity of the steel framework looming up over the new court honse is painfully suggestive of the steal work it will be made to protect in ages to follow, not the least of which is interest on bonds for generations yet unborn. Some of our gay young men who are so lavish with their attentions on occasions when the parents of their lady friends are out of the city, should at least take prudent departure before late breakfast hours or remain for dinner. Dont allow the lungs to be impaired by the continuous irritation of a cough. It is easier to prevent consumption than to cure it. One Mihute Cough Cure taken early will ward any offfatal lung trouble. A. F. Long. Miss Ida Hewitt of Glendora, Mich., who has been spending a month as the

j guest of Miss Eva Washburn, returned ; to her home yesterday morning. She made such a triumph of her visit here ; that she has many pressing invitations to return. It is surprising what a "wee bit of a thing” can accomplish. Sick headache, 1 constipation, dyspepsia, sour stomach, j dizziness, are quickly banished by De- ! Witt’s Little Early Risers. Small pill, j Safe pill. Best pill. A. F. Long. The Knights of Pithias held their annual banquet last triday night. It was the 33 anniversary of the organization of the order about 200 members and guests j were present, including the Rathbone I Sisters. It was as usual a most delightful event. Our old friend Marion Adams limped into the office yesterday with crutch and i cane, holding up a sprained foot caused i by an unruly coit. He is about in the notion to quit the farm, get a hand organ and a monkey and try thecurbstones of city streets while the injured member is healing. H. M. Burr, the veteran populist and silver apostle of Jordan township, dropped in on us Monday and paid up his du'-s for another year. Mr. Burr is patiently suffering under the blighting influence of the gold standard, believing that nothing can prevent its overthrow in the near future. One of the busy places in Rensselaer is the cigar factory of A. Lewis. He has facilities for employing eight men and has his factory so arranged as to conduct the work in the most systematic manner. Though not a judge of cigars, we understand that his manufactures are considered good, and it is plain that he has a large trade in them. Mr. Lewis has recently added a new brand of smoking tobacco to his products. They are so small that the most sensitive persons take them, they are so effective that the most obstinate cases of constipation, headache and torpid liver yield to them. That is why DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are known as the famous little pills. A. F. Long. J. D. Moats, of De Motte, was in town Monday closing up his business affairs here preparatory to leaving for Zimmerman, Ohio, for which place he starts to-day. His sale last Saturday was very satisfactory, he said, having resulted in fairly good prices considering the times, all but 850 of the proceeds being in notes however. Thomas Florence made the Pilot

office a pleasant call Monday. He is one of the most successful hay growers and shippers in the county, and a thorough silver man. Mr. Florence says that there are many in his locality who voted for McKinley last fall, who have become tired of waiting for the fulfillment of those promises of long overdue prosperity, and openly confess their change of heart on the silver question. If you have ever seen a child in the agony of croup, you can appreciate the gratitude of the mothers who know that ! One Minute Cough Cure relieves their ! little ones as quickly as it is admistered. Many home sin this city are never with- | °ut it. A. F. Long. Newton county may now get ready to locate her new court house, as the bill for that purpose has a good chance to become a law. What Newton county needs to counteract her abnormal quantity of prosperity is a two per cent issue of bonds, and what her county commissioners should look out for is a contract with the Consolidated Stone Company and the acquaintance of a reliable architect. E. E. Turner of Compton, Mo., writes us that after suffering from piles for seventeen years, he completely cured them by useing three boxss of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. It cures eczema and severe skin deseases. A. F. Long. Petitions are circulating to build three miles of gravel road to complete the road between Rensselaer and Remington. Also for the old Egypt road west to the Newton County line, all in Jordan township. At last accounts few names had been secured, nor is it regarded as a possibility at this time owing to that portion of the township not directly affected not being in haste to increase their tax burdens just yet. When that wave of prosperity heaves along they may favor good roads for the entire district, until then, “nit.”
