QUESTION: “IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN THERE?”

Meaning, Have You Pledged Yourself to Give Toward the Erection of the Soldiers* Monument! The patriotic lady, Mrs. Mary E. Thompson, who started the movement for the erection of a monument in Milroy Park, ip honor of the soldiers who enlisted from Jasper county for the civil war, and her assistants want to give every one an opportunity to assist in the work of erecting the monument. The monument itself will cost SI,OOO, and in addition to that will bo the cost of the foundation, the hauling and some incidental things, probably a hundred dollars. About SBOO of this has been pledged. Mrs. Thompson herself gave $25, Delos Thompson gave $25, Capt. J. M. Wasson gave $25, John Eger gave $25 and Hon. E. P. Hammond, now of Lafayette, and himself a member of the 9th Indiana regiment, gave $25. The committee appointed by the Commercial Club wants to give every person an opportunity to contribute and urges that pledges be made at once, and wherever possible that the money accompany the pledge. Letters may be directed to either Mrs. Thompson direct or to the Soldiers’ Monument Committee, care of Dr. A. G. Catt, secretary. Especially is it hoped that people formerly living in Rensselaer and who .hold the old town in high esteem and who will doubtless be glad to see the patriotic sons thus honored, will aid in the cost of making and erecting it., Many people in and near Rensselaer have not yet had an opportunity to contribute and it may be impossible to see all who will be glad to give, so a pledge paper has been left at each of the drug stores and It is trusted that these pledges may be made at once. The contract for the monument is to be let on March Ist and the money must be assured before that time. / The erection sis the monument will contribute to the beautifying of Rensselaer, as it will be in plain view from Washington street, and none should withhould support. Get your name in the list of contributors and do it without delay.

“Grand Old Man” Phillips Passes Eighty-Seventh Milestone.

Simon Phillips, erect and stately, bears lightly his eighty-seven years, and is getting through this long, hard winter jn splendid shape. His birthday was Tuesday, Feb. Bth, and Geo. Pate seldom overlooks anything so important to one of his friends. Accordingly he planned a little surprise for the “Grand Old Man” and when Mr. Phillips came in for his dinner as is his almost daily custom, Landlord Fate had a table specially prepared for him, and Norman Warner and George Pumphrey there to eat dinner with him. The jovial landlord saw to it that nothing was left undone to make the occasion a pleasant one for it is not often that one of his guests arrives at the age of 87 years. Almost an hour was spent in eating and reminiscence and the host of honor, the two guehts and the host in fact enjoyed the event thoroughly.

Operation Performed to Save Life of Popular Rensselaer Young Lady.

The condition of Miss True George, which the nrst of the week \ seemed somewhat more hopeful, has since become considerably worse and Wednesday an operation was decided necessary to save her life. This was performed Wednesday night by a Chicago specialist who was assisted by the local family physician. A tubercular condition of the peritoneum has probably existed for some time but has become serious only recently. The. operation was for the removal of an accumulation of serum and about' three gallons was drawn off. The patient passed through the operation very well and her condition this Thursday morning was somewhat encouraging. Miss George is one of the best known and universally esteemed young women in Rensselaer and her affliction is a very sad one.

Further Particulars About the Destructive Gillam Township Fire.

From our Hanging Grove correspondent we are able to give something more about the Gillam township fire Tuesday afternoon. It seems that Mr. Lowry had taken a lantern to the barn in the morning to do the milking and had left the lantern burning in the barn and gone to a neighbors to help in a job of butchering. Before he left he told one of the children to go to the barn and blow out the lantern, but childlike the matter wqs forgotten. The fire occurred at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and it is presumed that one of the horses had knocked the lantern down from where it hung in the barn. Mrs. Bagley, who keeps house for Mr. Lowry, got the barn door open and got two of the horses out but one ran back and was consumed by the flames. Mr. Lowry had carried insurance but it ran out last May and he neglected to have it renewed, so his loss is total and estimated at about $2,000. His wife died only a short time ago and he has been trying hard to keep his family together. The wind was blowing hard when the fire was at its height and a spark started the kitchen roof of the house on fire. By that time, however, enought assistance had arrived to pub out, the fire and thus save the residence. Mr. Lowry occupied the D. D. Wuethrick farm, 4 miles west of Francesville.
