Rudyard Kipling, the most celebrated living writer in the English language, is lying at the point of death, in a New York hotel, from pneumonia, or may have already passed away. His death would be a great calamity to literature for being a young and very vigorous and industrious man, he would, if spared to live, have almost certainly hate produced more and even better great works than he already has. Although it appears from the Chicago papers that Dr. Hillis is able not only to preach as usual but also to attend banquets and receptions, where he receives the flattering homage of wealthy and fashionable admirers, yet so far his health has permitted him not only not to slip down to Rensselaer to fulfill an engagement which any truly honorable man should consider at least as binding as the accepting of an invitation to a banquet, but he has not even taken the trouble to write or dictate a single word of explanation nor apology for his continued failure to keep his engagement here. The Indiana Supreme Court has lately made a decision that, may be of interest to Rensselaer bicyclers, especially those who ride on side walks. The case they were deciding touched on the validity of city ordinances prohibiting bicycle riding on sidewalks. The decision was the to effect that the state law provides a penalty for riding on wood, brick or stone side walks and that any person who does so is liable to a fine. This act does not extend to asphalt sidewalks, and cities which have such walks are not prohibited from making ordinances against bicyclers riding on them. But so far as ordinary side walks are concerned, the court has laid it down very plainly that whoever rides upon or over them on a bicycle is liable to punishment.

It is a matter of current report that a young man holding a responsible position has been frequenting a poker game con* siderably for some time past and was lately found at the game by one of his employers. The young man is reported to be likely to lose a position that was already desirable and would surely have led to still better ones. Men who run these poker and other gambling games and beguile young men into them to win their own or their employers money, are worse than horsethieves or highwaymen. The latter only take a man’s property. These gamblers take not only a man’s property, but they rob him also of his position, his integrity, his reputation and his self respect. The law does not provide any adequate punishment for men who rob others at gambling games, but such punishment as it does provide should be dealt out to these fellows here, without any foolishness. Henry U. Johnson, the monumental crank who misrepresents the sixth Indiana district made another violent attack on the President last Friday. In the course of it he claimed he was representing the views of his constituents. When hefgotjthrough Charley Landis did Johnson up thoroughly by reading telegrams from every Republican editor in Johnson’s district, except one, and every one of r,- W 11* J' 1’ 1 I

who wasn’t heard from had been made a postmaster by Johnson. When Landis had disproved Johnson’s claim that his constituents endorsed him, he declared that he oared more to be right than to win popular applause, anyhow. Which saying, in form or another, is what every public man resorts to when, from crankiness, or disappointment at not having other people take him at his own exalted estimate, or other like cause, he goes against the sentiments of the party which elected him. It ,18 but natural that our volunteer soldier boys down in Cuba should grow weary of garrison duty and long to be mustered out. Still there are some things which if the boys take into consideration, ought to help reconcile them to their stay. And some of these things older people can see better than younger ones; and some which people remote from the scene can appreciate better than those right at the spot. For one thing the boys are seeing a strange land and a strange people, and under remarkable circumstances. The sights they bave been seeing and the experiences they have been through are something they will remember with satisfaction and relate with pleasure as long as they live. Moreover there is not one of them, unless it be a few incorrigible shirks or natural good-for-noth-ings, who will not derive great good, morally, mentally and physicially from their several months of army life and discipline. There is nothing like it for developing the innate manliness of a vealy young man. Pluck up your grit boys! When you get back you will be awful glad you went, and the greater the grit and manliness you show now, the greater will be the satisfaction with which you will think of your soldier experience hereafter.

Tne more one reads the more one knows, and the more one learns. Now, if we failed to put this advertisement where you may read it, we wculd be doing you an injustice, for like as not, you are at this moment suffering and maybe do not know what is the matter with you. After you read this advestisement, go and Send 10c for a trial bottle of Dr. ildwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It costs 10c a line to tell you any more about this, so we will not enlarge on this subject. Try us in this. You can get it of A. F. Long. AN HONEST MEDICINE FOR LA GRIPPE George W. Waitt of South Gardiner, Me., says: “I have had the worst cough, cold, chills and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vendor. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the ouly thing that has done any good whatever. I have nsed one 50-cent bottle and the chills, cold and grip have all left me. I congratulate the manufacturers of an honest medicine.” For sale by F. B. Meyer. FOR LA GRIPPE Thomas Whitfield & Co , 240 Wa-bash-ax., corner Jackson-st., one of Chicago’s oldest and most prominent druggists, recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for la grippe, as it not only ogives a prompt and complete relief, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. For sale by F. B, Meyer. WHEN YOUR HEART FLUTTERS. There is not heart disease. That is no terrible heart that is Indigestion, the prime cause of all short breath and sudden jumping of the heart which so frequently follows an exertion of any kind. Go to the drugstore. Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. No more need be said, for after you use it once you will never fail to keep it in the house. A F. Long. DANGERS OF THE GRIP The greatest danger from La Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case haoing resulted in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by F. B. Meyer.
