There seemed to be that atmosphere of I homeness so readily recognized, yet so hard to explain. It is our business to know the / why of this and we are going to tell you, it f is the little things, such as pictures, orna- l ments, and an odd piece of furniture here } and there that properly complete the fur- I nishings and produce this homey effect. "To l accomplish this the furniture must be in V good taste, and of quality.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1910.

Thos. M. Walters and family went to Chicago today to see his brother, James, at St. Mary of Nazareth hospital. They will return home Sunday evening. < _ The Bißmark line of preserves, pickles and olives in quart Mason jars, very fine, and the most economical way to. buy. Full quarts at 35c.—Home Grocery. • .. ~ Miss Victoria Johnson, who has been learning the dressmaking business under the Instruction df Miss Mary Yates, went to her home at Francesvllle today where she will work at the trade. It is no economy to buy cheap canned goods; perhaps you have found this out. Our honey-pack "Fayette” tender sweet corn and “Red Robin” early June peas at two_canß for 25e is cheapest after all. —Home Grocery.

» Capt. and Mrs. J. M. Wasson, will leave one flay next week for a visitwith Assistant Secretary Wilson, of the interior department at Washington, Mrs. Wilson being their daughter. They will be absent for several weeks. The second quarterly meeting of Rensselaer circuit will convene *at Rosebud M. P. church Saturday and Sunday, January 22 and 23. Everybody welcome. & . 0.. S. RARDIN, Pastor. John Reed, manager of the Lawler ranch, east of tutfS, was- In the city today. He is not certain whether or not he will live on the ranch another year, arrangements not, having been completed between himself and the owner. Mrs. E. Powell received a message this morning saying her uncle, J. M. Cbadwick, of Mace, had died very suddenly. She will attend the funeral which will be held Sunday morning at 10:30 at the M. E. church at that place. • A. J. Harmon, the auctioneer, reports a fine sale for Chas. W. Burns Thursday. It totaled about SI,BOO and prices were all high. Since the day of the sale Rus has been about laid up with rheumatism but he is able to be out today and thinks he has about conquered the “monster.”

Mrs. Frank Alter returned last evening from Chicago, where she was with her mother; Mrs. M. H. Hemphill, at Wesley hospital when she was operated on for hernia. The operation took place Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock and was apparently entirely ruccessful, and Mrs. Hemphill withstood it very well for a woman of her age. It is thought she can be brought home within ten days or two weeks. A. B. Rowley, of Wabash, passed through Rensselaer today on his way home from a business trip to Chicago. He reports that the Barcus manufacturing company is getting along very nicely, although having been placed to a great disadvantage and losb by the fire last summer. He took an order for 20,000 school desks while in Chicago and was feeling fine at his success. Dr. L. Payton and son, V. W. Payton, of Muncie, returned to their home this morning after a few days here and at an ?0 acre farm which they own in Newton county, 4 miles west of Fair Oaks. The doctor paid off a mortgage that was against the farm and arranged to erect a cottage thereon, which the son will occupy. They will also make other substantial improvements on the place.

Jennie Parkinson and Marie Hamilton entertained about a dozen little girl friends at the home of the former Friday night. Tbe invitations read "Come dressed as a boy,” and there was a lot of scraping about for brother’s clothing, and in cases wliCre.it wouldn’t fit the whole neighborhood was canvassed. It was a Jolly lot of young fellows that gathered at the home of the hostess at 7:30 and the evening was very pleasantly spent At first thi girls seemed a little shy in their boyish attire but finally they grew quite easy and fairly had the "time of their lives.” To feel strong, have good appetite and digestion, sleep loundly and enjoy life, use Burdock Blood Bitters, the great system tonic and builder.

AUTOMOBILE TURNED OVER; BERT ABBOTT INJURED.

" —MI ■a. 11, " . < '"•S-'V' While En Route to McCoysburg in Babcock & Hopkins* E. M. F. Car It Skids and Accident Results. Bert Abbott, who is employed by Babcock & Hopkins at their elevator, was driying'to McCoysburg in the E. M. F % automobile this Saturday morning and when some distance beyond Pleasant Ridge the car skidded on the ice, one of the tires came off, the car ran into the ditch and turned over on the side. Bert was not driving fast but he did not jump clear of the car when it went over and one of his legs was caught under the machine but not pinned flown so .tight but that he managed to wriggle loose. Ha did not seem to- be much hurt and two men who came along helped him right the machine and he spent about a half hour putting on a hew tire and then started on his way again. He soon began to feel sick and when near the residence of Wash Lowman he stopped the car and walked to the Lowman residence where he telephoned to town relating the accident and stating that the car was disabled and he could not bring it back. After telephoning he became very sick and a local doctor was called and after examining him found that he was not seriously injured, but that he had suffered considerable from exposure while putting a new. tire on the car. The doctor brought him to his home in town and Art Lingenfelter went after the car this afternoon. It was not much injured. . -

WEATHER FORECAST.

Fair tonight and Sunday. Warmer Sunday. ' The small blizzard that struck us Thursday night continued to blizz all day Friday and Friday night and is still with us. Not much snow fell but a cold northwest wind has continued to blow and it has been quite disagreeable out of doors. Today is fairly fair according •to forecast and tomorrow is promised to be fair with rising temperature. E. B. Rowley, a real estate dealer of Mitchell, S. Dak., and a nephew of Ed Bruce, arrived here today for a short visit. He has been back from Dakota for about a month, visiting relatives in Ohio and various parts of Indiana. Wednesday he attended the marriage at Wabash of his cousin, Miss Faye Rowley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Rowley, to Mr. Lee Williams, of Amarilla, Texas. Miss Rowley formerly lived in Rensselaer and has many .warm friends here.

The Plymouth Chronicle says that Prof. Tebay, of Plymouth, the new high school teacher at Lapaz, has made a “hit" with the pupils. Somehow this recalls to our mind a teacher who taught our grammar grade in Janesville, Wis., about 45 years ago. Her name was Ann Burns —and she looked the part. She was nearly 6 feet tall, had red* hair and muscles like a prize fighter. She scored a “hit” witli a certain boy on several occasions. Gee! but, it made him sore! Whenever Ann made a “kH” there was a noise like a cook stove falling down cellar.—Culver Citizen. D. H. Yeoman made a hurried trip to the place not far from Star City in Pulaski county, on the Gault ditch where his dredge i» located one day this weelr. After completing the digging of the ditch the dredge was run up stream about 1,000 feet and fas-

tened with two seven-eighth inch cables. When the ice broke the first of the week It pushed against the boat and broke it loose from its moorings and it started to float down stream toward the Tippecanoe river. Fortunately when about half the way down the boat turned partly around and caught against the bank of each side of the stream. After Dave reached there he was able to anchor it and it will now be torn down and stored on the bank unty another job is bid in. Had it reached the river it would have floated . down stream until it collided with the first bridge, which would have been at Buffalo, in White county.

Norton, while quail hunting Friday near Fayette, Miss. After the accident he was taken to the sanitarium at Nachez, where the injury was examined by physicians who state that they will not prove dangerous unless complications set In, although he may lose the sight of his right eye. He will be brought to Indianapolis, where the shot will be removed. Mr. Norton was about 40 yards away when the shot was fired.

Publishers Healey & Clark Now Entire Owners of The Republican.

George H. Healey and Leslie Clark, who have been publishers of the Republican since the consolidation of the Republican and Journal two years ago, have purchased the interests of the former partners, Dr. I. M. Washburn and Mrs. Kate R. Watson, each buying enough of the stock to give them a half holding in the property. The reason for the sale by Dr. Washbum was his intended removal shortly to Longmont, Colo., 'where he will engage in the practice of medicine and become a partner in the management and one of the surgeons In the Longmont hospital. The interests of Mrs. Watson was represented by Dr. Washburn and was also disposed of because of his intended removal. The investment has been a paying one for the retiring partners, whose interests would not have.been parted with except for the plans of Dr. Washburn to remove from the state. During the two years and almost four months that Dr. Washburn has been a partner in the publication of the Republican he has never interfered with either the business nor editorial policy of the paper, delegating entire authority to the active proprietors and placing no restrictions in the way of their full exercise in control. The partnership, has, therefore, been very agreeable, and the retiring partners aro satisfied in every way with the investment from which they now withdraw.

Niece of Granville Moody Married To Lieutenant in U. S. Navy.

The residence of Granville Moody was the scene today of a very happy marriage, the principals being Mrs. M. F. Miller, a niece of Mr. Moody, whose home was in West Newton, Mass., and Lieut. Commander G. G. Mitchell, United States Navy, who is stationed in Chicago. Only the immediate Moody family witnessed the ceremony which wai performed by Rev. C. L. Harper, of Trinity M. E. church. B. W. Ellsworth was a caller at the Republican office today. He has met quite a serious misfortune, having almost entirely lost the sight of his right eye. Last February a cow’s horn struck him beneath the eye and made a slight abrasion of the skin and bruising it considerably. No serious damage was anticipated, but in June jtbe eye began to cause him trouble and gradually it weakened until the sight was almost entirely gone. He consulted a leading oculist In Chicago and was informed that there was no hope for it. In appearances the eye is just as strong as the left one- but it is of no service to him. On the advise of the specialist he will be compelled to quit the harder work of the farm. - -—— ■—
