FALLING HAIR Many People Have a Simple Way of Stopping It. It was Dr. Sangerbond, of Paris, who first discovered that dandruff and falling hair were caused by a microbe. And now that Parisian Sage, thfi remedy that kills tbe dandruff germ is sold in every town in America, the clean people of this country have awakened to the fact that dandruff is unnecessary; that falling hair and itching scalp can be quickly stopped, and that people who use Parisian Sage will never grow bald. To every reader of the Republican, who wishes to eradicate disgusting dandruff, stop falling hair, and have an immaculately clean scalp, free from itchiness, we make this offer: Parisian Sage is sold by druggists everywhere fpr 50 cents a large bottle. It is an ideal, daintily perfumed hair dressing, free from grease and stickiness, and will cause hair to grow lustrous and luxuriant. Sold and guaranteed by B. F. Pendig.

Removal Notice. I wish to notify all my customers and others that I have moved my tailoring shop from my old location over Fendlg’s drug store to rooms over the Jasper Savings & Trust Co., where I will be prepared to do all kinds of repair work, cleaning and pressing and will have a large line of spring suit samples. Very truly, - JOHN WERNER.

FINE FARMER CITIZEN SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA.

*7 . William N. Jordan, of Barkley Township, Victim of Disease After 88 Honrs Sickness. v . ■ - *■ ' In the death of William N. Jordan, of Barkley township, at 1:30 o’clock this Saturday morning, the county loses one of its most upright and highly esteemed citizens and the community a man of noble life whose aim was to live righteously and to give his children a good education in order to equip them formidably for the problem of life. Mr. Jordan came to Jasper county from Illinois about ten years ago and located on one of B. J. Gifford’s farms in Barkley township. Later he purchased the old headquarters farm, which is well known as the old Sim Dowell farm, where himself and family have since resided. He was the father of eight childjen, the oldest son being a Christian minister at Evanston, 111., one daughter, Miss Nettie, being a trained nurse at Omaha, Neb., one daughter married and living at the home of her parents, one daughter, Day, teaching school In Barkley townßhip, a son, James, who graduated from the Rensselaer schools last year, and is now a student at Purdue University, and three younger children, Chede, Willie and Homer, all attending the Rensselaer high school, the former a member of this year’s graduating class. Mr. Jordan was in Rensselaer Wednesday. Thursday Just before noon he left the house to drive some cows out of the barn lot to a nearby pasture. The sharp, cold wind chilled him until he thought he was going to be overcome by It. He got back to the barn, where he rested for some time before undertaking t£ go to the house. Finally he reached the house and was seized with a sinking spell that threatened to carry him away and he thought he was going to die and bade his family good-bye. A Gifford doctor was summoned and Mr. Jordan revived. Thursday morning a Rensselaer. physician was called. He pronounced his disease pneumonia and realized that the case was a bad one, although he felt that the patient could be pulled through. Miss Nettie Jordan, his daughter, was called from Omaha, Neb., to nurse the case. In the evening the patient seemed better and encouraging word was received by his physician. At 12 o’clock Friday night his daughter prepared him a lunch, as he stated that he was hungry. He talked rationally, said he was Setter and that he hoped to be able to get’ up In the morning. At about 1:30, however, he undertook to change his position in the bed, and as he turned over he gasped heavily and passed away. Evidently heart failure was the immediate cause of his death, his heart having, become weakened by the congestion of his lungs and the severe pleurisy that had accompanied his brief sickness.

Mr. Jordan was not extensively known in Rensselaer, being somewhat of a retired disposition, although very jovial when he became well acquainted. Wherever known'he was greatly admired, and no death in Jasper county could have caused more genuine regret. A few days ago in apparent health and vigor, in anticipation of a long life of continued usefulness, the sorrow of his sudden demise sank deep into the happy home and cast a gloom among all his acquaintances. A little granddaughter of the deceased, Elsie McCormick, is also sick with pneumonia at the Jordan home. Rev. Orvis F. Jordan, pastor of the Christian church at Evanston, 111., Jiunes Jordan, of Purdue, and Nettie Jordan, of Omaha, all arrived in Rensselaer this Saturday morning, none knowing the sad fate of their father until they reached here.

The funeral will be held Monday af-> ternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the Christian church, being conducted by Rev. G. H. Clarke. Interment will be made in Weston cemetery. -■ - ■ ' Each $2.00 purchase entitles you to 9 bars Swift's Pride fine laundry soap for 26c all this week at the Home Grocery. Here’s a puzzler.

WEATHER FORECAST.

Fair attd colder tonight. Fair tomorrow. Battle Ground Defeated Militia Quintette in Basketball Game. Battle Ground proved quite a surprise to the basketball team Friday » night and defeated them by the score of 20 to 12 in a well played game free from fouling and unnecessary roughness. The locals were not In very good trim and undertook to play the game without Captain Kirk, who has been suffering from a disabled arm, and the entire team seemed considerably disorganized and did not put up nearly so good a contest as they have previously done. The locals started in with Wartena, Kepner, Watson, Duvall and Gangloff, and Kirk later took Watßon’s place, but for some reason the soldiers could not find the baskets and while they held the visitors to a creditably low score, they were unable to make much headway themselves. The Battle Ground team has not been in the business long. Little Fisher, the star football -quarterback, played a good game at center for the visitors.
