Attorney Frank Foltz made a business trip to Hammond today. , - Mrs. D. E. Lesh was taken quite sick this morning, but it is thought her illness will be only temporary and delay their intended removal to Wisconsin. Miss True George is doing as well, according to her physician, as could be expected. Her improvement is not very marked, however, and the outcome of her sickness is uncertain. Up, up, goes the price of hogs. That animal has been taken for years as the synonym of selfishness and greed, and now looks like the public is accepting his own opinion of himself. Fancies brought $9.60 yesterday in Indianapolis. According to the reports received at the office of the state board of health during December there were 14 births in Jasper county. Only four counties in the state reported less, Ohio county having but 5. In Marion county there were 419 births.The Fred Bachman tripletts, Fred Allen Bachman, George Emil Bachman and Chester Webster Bachman, passed their seventh birthdays on February 3d. All are students of Fred Tyler at the Belle Center school house and all are in the very best of health.

J. B. Clemens was down from Shelby today. He is in his 72d year and has not had occasion to call a doctor for a half a century. This is a record that very few can equal, and is with Mr. Clemens doubtless the result of the most careful living. Mr. Clemens never took a tablespoonfuj of liquor in his entire life. Can it be that some of these Monticello and Union township men who were so absolutely sure that the interurban would be built even if the subsidy did not carry, were mistaken? To those who have been on the inside from the beginning ,it begins to look that way. The road may cross the county west of us and Monticello will be placed in the embarrassing position of having lost a lot of trade.—Monticello Journal.

Simon Phillips went to Fowler today to be present Monday and Tuesday at the big Hereford sale which his son-in-law will hold on those days.. His son, Col. Fred Phillips, is to be one of the auctioneers and “Untie” Simon Is such a lover of fine stock that it won’t be surprising if he gets into the auction harness again long enough to sell one of the beauties that has helped to make the name Vanatta famous in the Hereford world. It is reported that there are now in this country twelve million telephones, or one for every two houses in the country. This does not mean that one-half of the residences in the country contain an instrument, since many' business houses have a large number, but the figures are instructive and illuminating: Practically everybody who is anybody in all the cities or towns and villages has a telephone, While those in the country districts are legion. The astonishing tpct is that each of these phoneß is used on an average of six times a day. The total number of calls in a year runs up Into the billions and is not appreciable by the human m'nd

President Taft has promised a special committee of the Military Order of Foreign Wars to go to New York March 15th to have the insignia of the order conferred upon him.

Another drastic step has been taken in Mayor Shank’s campaign against the illegal sale of liquor in Indianapolis. Police Superintendent Hyland ahs announced that by the' mayor’s ofder there shall be hereafter no “social clubs” in the city and its suburbs. Ed Hopkins, who has been working at the city plant for some years, has sold his residence property on Cullen street to Wm. L. Nowels for $1,300. Mr. Hopkins expects to move to Spokane, Wash,, about March 15th, where Mrs. Hopkins’ relatives are located. The Seniors and Sophomores had a hard time defeating the Juniors and Freshmen in a class basketball game at the armory last evening. The final score was 17 to 16 and it was anyone’s game up to the last when a double foul was called. Kirk threw his but Porter missed. The rivalry was intense and there was quite a little fouling. . ' r 4 Mrs. J. C. Fjshqy, of Bluffton, who has been visiting here with the familyof George W. Terwilliger and at Mt. Ayr with Mrs. W. O. McCord, left this morning for Kankakee, 111., where she will also visit before starting for Mexico, Mo., where they will make their future home and for which place her husband is now enroute with their household goods. C. P. Moody arrived home this Saturday morning from a trip to Kansas, where he visited the of King man and Bucklin. It was his first trip to the sunflower state, although he has many relatives there and for the past two years has been a third partner with R. A. Parkison and “Uncle” Joe Parkison in the ownership of 2,000 acres of land near Bucklin. He was more than pleased with the country, says that they have had a beautiful winter and are very much elated with the prospect of a large wheat crop based on the fact that the winter has been good for the wheat in that section. Charley says there are many fine homes there, better than lots of the best homes in this section of Indiana and he compared one house in the country there to his beautiful new Barkley township residence. He says that the most successful men there are the pioneers of 25 and 30

years ago who didn’t have enough money to come baok east on and no relatives to borrow it from when the droughts of that period were so desV _ tructive to crops. Not having had enough to leave on they staid right there and were rewarded by successful accumulation. Charley regrets that he was not there at that time and “busted.” The corn crop there was much damaged by the hot winds last year huh these are not a frequent occurrence and Charley believes there is a great future to that country and a lot better climate and better prospects of advancement in land than in some of the cold northwest countries. .

Testify to Value of Our Often Praised Classified Column.

Mrs. Mary E. Drake is one of the most recent patrons of our classified advertising columns. Having called to pay her subscription Friday afternoon she mentioned the fact that she had the misfortune to lose two laprobes within the past year, but as it was so jong ago she doubted the advisability of advertising them. She decided, however, to try it and the advertisement was inserted in the Evening Republican, which made its appearance a few minutes after she visited the office. Before she reached her home the Republican had been circulated and the advertisement fell to the attention of the person who had found one of the robes, and’ Mrs. Drake was surprised on her arrival home to learn that the advertisement had brought such prompt results. The day before Arthur Waymire had reported the loss of a black fur glove. It was advertised just one day and brought in by William Bennett, who had found it. ** For quick results it pays to advertise in the columns of the Republican.

Quails for Indiana.

Eight thousand Hungarian quails, in pairs, have just been released on the various game preserves of the state by the game and fish commission and placed in the hands of proper caretakers for propogatiom The general assembly of-1909 enacted a law protecting the birds from hunters at all times for a period of six years, giving the quails yet five years of immunity from the hunter. The distribution of the Hungarian quails began in 1907,immediately after the enactment of a law by the general assembly providing that the state fish and game commissioner should spend not less than one-third of the amount, derived from the sale of hunters’ licenses for re-stocking the state with game. Several thousand of the birds were released in 1907, 1908 and 1909, which have been multiplying rapidly, according to reports from the commission. They have been surviving the changeable Indiana weather much better than the native birds. E. E. Earle, chief deputy, expects, he said, to- see the state literally alive with Hungarian quails when the hunters are permitted to shoot them. The Hungarian quail is about 50 per cent larger than the native bird, and when served on the table its flesh is delicious. The birds just released were purchased from breeders inHungary through Mackensen & Wenz, American agents, who have a preserve in Pennsylvania, which is used as a great distributing point. Those just released are of last year’s broods.

South Carolina Senator Critically III and May Not Recover.

The most spectacular United States senator, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina, is critically ill at his home in Washington, D. C. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the left side of the brain and this was followed by the almost total paralysis of the right side and a serious effect on his power of articulation. It is hot improbable that the attack will result fatally. Senator Tillman is the most marked type of southern democrary and many of his outbreaks in the senate from which he derived the name of “Pitchfork” Tillman were in defense of southern institutions. While -blunt 1n his speech he was somewhat of an orator and one of the men that always drew great crowds to the galleries whenever he was to speak. While not popular as a law maker, he was interesting and made for much that was honorable and his passing will be a matter of national regret.

“Kick, Blame it, Kick” Is Advice of Fowler Newspaper Man.

Brother John P. Carr of the Fowler Republican-Leader does not believe in taking a back seat submissively and acknowledging that a fellow is down and out. He gives advice in the following terms, and it might be worth a trial by some weak-kneed individuals: ‘The individual citizen who patiently endures extinction is not a martyr; he is just a plain fool, “sans ambition, sans everything.” In a country like our own, which boasts of a “government of the people, for the people and by the people” there is no ground for self-imposed or imaginary martyrdom. “If there is anything wrong with the government, with the gravel road, the public schools, or political party, “rip-’em-up-the-back.” Talk right out, and sign your name in full.”
