RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1910.

FROM FAR OFF SOUTH AFRICA COMES ORDER.

Irish Blacksmith Firm Knows a Good Thing When It Is Advertised and Wants Horse Stocks. * Martin L. Hemphill was surprised Tuesday to receive a lptter from South Africa containing an order for a set of horse stocks. The firm giving the order is O’Grady & O’Hara, blacksmiths and farriers, Heilbron, Orange River Colony, which is a part of the 1 Orange Free State, so much in prominence a few years ago when the English and the Boers were having their war.

The firm ordering the horse stocks gives minute instructions as to shipment. The stocks are to be sent via Durban, Natal, which is the seaport of greatest importance in the Cape Colony district, and shipping papers, customs duties, etc., will be looked after by agents of O’Grady and O’Hara at Natal, where the stocks will be taken from the ship and sent inland by tail some three or four hundred miles. Mr. Hemphill’s son Harve has figured it out that the stocks will travel a distance of 9,324 miles between Rensselaer” and Heilbron. The gentlemen giving the order saw Mr. Hemphill’s advertisement in the American Blacksmith, and very properly informed him by what influences they placed their order. The order was mailed at Heilbron on Jan. 24th and reached here Feb. 23d, so that it was Just 30 days on the road. It will take the stocks from 30 to 60 days probabij to make the trip.

Our Next Horse Sale to Be Wednesday, March 2nd.

Next Wednesday is the day of the next regular monthly horse- sale. Persons having horses for sale should not overlook this fact, while those whq are in the market to buy should notfail to pome here on that day and see what is offered. . The buyers from the large markets will be here. They are thoroughly versed in horse values and'if you bring a horse to town and want to sell it, you will get a fair offer. If the price don’t suit you there is no obligation to sell. Thesales are entirely private and there is no expense of sale. On the same day in the court house a seed exhibit will be given under the direction of S. E. Sparling. Corn, oats, potatoes and other seed will be shown and valuable instruction given about its selection and planting.

Johnson Crooked to the Last; Leaves Debts of About $20,000.

No developments arose to give a clew to the cause of the death of John F. Johnson, the fprmer Logansport banker. The coroner refused to authorize the examination of the contents of the stomach, which would have cost $75, and the cause of his death will probably never be positively known. Johnson had many creditors and debts aggregating $20,000 are said to have turned up. His cash assets were $4. It is probable that he suicided, realizing that he was near the end of his string. A few years ago he was the president of a First National bank and after he had been pardoned from the government penitentiary he stated that he intended to set out to make good every cent to those who had lost through his bank. His good resolution was not carried out and it seems that instead he has defrauded others of $20,000.

Another Couple Married to Begin Life on the Farm.

Rev. G. H. Clarke, of the Christian church, performed another marriage ceremony Wednesday, the contracting parties being Miss Lestie Harrington, daughter of Ms. and Mrs. Walter Harrington, of Alx, and Mr. Ralph Lowman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lowman,' of near Pleasant Ridge. The ceremony was performed at the pastor’s residence, where the contracting parties were accompanied by the parents of the groom and the sister of the bride. They will reside on a farm near Pleasant Ridge.

For this week only, two packages of Self-Riling Pancake Flour for 15c. JOHN EIGER.

Agent Charles Dean Makes Two Good Real Estate Deals.

Real Estate Agent C. W. Dean has recently closed two deals fdr the transfer of ownership in Jasper county lands.

The Milroy township farm has been occupied by John Summers, who will continue to be the tenant of the new landlord.* W. M.

Miss Cordelia Monnett Now in A Critical Condition in Chicago.

Miss Cordelia Monnett is now reported to. be in a very critical condition in the Chicago Training School for City, Home and Foreign Missions. Following her first stroke of paralysis some weeks ago she suffered a second and more severe stroke but hope for her recovery was held until last night when the physician in charge stated that her condition was very serious. She is-past 70 years of age.

John Ginrich, one of the sub-con-tractors on St. Joseph’s college chapel, stated to the Republican representative that he had been an intimate acquaintance for years of John F. Johnson, the Logansport ex-banker who was found dead last Saturday morning in the WabaSh river. He said that Johnson wrecked the bank by speculating on the board of trade and that after he was convicted and had served in the penitentiary he again began his board of trade speculations and followed them until he was completely ruined. Mr. Ginrich says he was a good man aside from his passion .for gambling and that he never Intentionally wronged a fellowman, but he could not break away from the habit formed soon after the death of his father, who had left a large estate heavily encumbered and which Johnson sought to clear up by board of trade dealings. He failed and became further involved and his ruin and suicide after many years of disappointment followed. -* —
