RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1910.

ROOSEVELT REACHES KHARTUM;. MEETS WIFE AND DAUGHTER.

Former President Baek to Civilization From Most Remarkable Hunting Trip of all History, Theodore Roosevelt reached Khartum, a city of some 25,000 people at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers in Africa Monday. He was accompanied by his son Kermit and all the followers of his remarkable hunting trip and science research in the Interior of Africa. Enterprising newspaper correspondents had met the returning party a distance up the Nile and returned to Khartum on the Dal, the boat bearing the Roosevelt party. Accompanying the ex-presi-dent were the native blacks who had been so faithful as guides and servants. It was the first trip they had ever made to the borders of civilization and the first time they had ever been dressed in anything but their native scant clothing. They had been rigged out with such clothes as the members of the party could spare, the ex-president and his son contributing toward their wardrobe. The natives took leave of Mr. Roosevelt at the ship, each being remembered by a substantial gift. They were brokenhearted at their separation and in the language of John Callan O’Laughlin, the Chicago Tribune’s correspondent said: “Bwana Makuba (meaning great master) has been good, ■ thinking always of the comfort of others. We are losing a friend, a man who is big, big. We are sorry.” Roosevelt had kept up so well with his story of his trip that he completed the last chapter of it before reaching Khartum. This will be printed with wonderful rapidity as soon as the manuscript can reach his publishers and will doubtless have a great sale. Mrs. Roosevelt and daughter Ethel, were met at the railroad station after the president had been received at the palace of the sidar and governor-gen-eral of the Soudan. Their meeting was very affectionate. Col. Roosevelt was dressed in a suit 4>f khaki when he arrived in Khartum but for the evening reception he dressed in an evening suit which Mrs. Roosevelt had brought to him. Roosevelt admitted he was homesick but he could not be dragged into making any sort of comment on political conditions.

Small Blaze Nipped in Bud; Early Discovery Saves Residence.

The discovery of a fire in an upstairs bedroom at the residence of C. M. Sands Monday evening at about 6 o’clock, made it possible to put out the fire before it had gained much headway. That is was discovered is little short of remarkable. The Sands occupy the Robert Michal residence on Rutsen and VanRensselaer streets. Nightwatch E. M. Thomas, who had just come on duty, was standing in front of Tobias’ newsstand, more than two blocks away. Mrs. Tobias saw a peculiar light in an upstairs room of the Sands home and called the attention of Mr. Thomas to it. He hastened to the residence and found Mr. and Mrs. Sands just ready to sit down ta their supper, totally oblivious of the fact that their house was on fire. An investigation was made and it was found that one of the beds was in flames. A fire alhrm was turned in, but Mr. Sands and Mr. Thomas were able to extinguish the fire without much trouble. It was plain that the fire had ignited from an electric light globe, which had been laid on the bed and having been turned on, supplied enough heat after the lights came on in the evening to set fire to the bed clothing. The fire loss was probably about S4O to bed clothing, insured in R. B. Harris’ agency. The correct fireplug number was turned in, but Driver Bert Campbell understood it to be 57 instead of 27 and the fire team made a run to the depot and then back again to the right place. Even'with this delay, the hose cart t and fire company reached the Sands home only 10 minutes after the alarm was turned in. Wheat is still advancing—sl.so for the best flour made, or money refunded.

MR. INFIELD DENIES IT; SAYS STORY IS NOT TRUE.

Denies Having Had Any Connection Whatever with Deal to Dispose of Rushville Utility Company Bonds. George W. Infield, who is in Rensselaer, was very much put out by the story published in the Monday Evening Republican from a Decatur newspaper. At the time the story came into the possession of the Republican it was not known by the writer that Mr. Infield was in town and we did not know of his presence in Rensselaer until after the Republican was printed, which goes to show that even a man of duch prominence as he possesses can be lost for a day or two even in a little town like Rensselaer. But Mr. Infield was here; we accidently stumbled into him in the law library adjoining the judge’s room in the court house, and we talked to him about the article republished from the Decatur newspaper, had not seen, but which we related to him. He at once instituted a general denial, claiming that he had nothing to do with the deal that landed Brooks high and dry, stating that he only met Mr. Brooks on the Sunday in question tc consult with him about some land Brooks had for sale near Lamar, Mo. From Mr. Infield’s story, which was long, hard to follow, and of doubtful connection in parts with the matter at issue, we ascertained that he wanted us to understand that he was altogether innocent of any part in the Decatur-Chicago-Rushville deal, so innocent, in fact, that if he really had nothing more to do with it than he claims, he will have no trouble in clearing his skirts in the federal courts, and the man who made him a defendant in the action must be crazy. Mr. Infield says he is innocent. He may be. We hope he is and we published the Decatur story simply for what it is worth and it may all be a lot of rot, except the part that says that Infield is one of the defendants in the action in the United States court. Mr.'lnfield called at the Republican office this afternoon with an article assailing our prudence in publishing an article without consulting him. In the article he made his denial and undertook to prove his innocence. That feature will come out in his tria’ z in the federal court, but the Republican would gladly have published his statement had it not been largely devoted to assailing the writer personally for having published the article without having first seen him. Mr. Infield’s attitude was such that it became necessary for us to tell birr that he might know something about building railroads, something about the real estate business, something about preaching and he might think he knew how to run a newspaper, but he couldn’t come into this office ano tell us how to run our own newspaper. Mr. Infield left the office greatly disappointed at his inability to have us devote the columns of our paper to denouncing ourselves. Even Mr. Infield with all his varied talents and experiences probably meets some unexpected things sometimes. We have devoted much space in an effort to aid him in building a railroad and in getting subsidies voted, and for that we are good fellows, but when Mr. Infield is made a defendant in a case in the United States court and this paper relates a story that is supposed to tell why he was made defendant, we are a bad set and should be denounced by Mr. Infield in our-own paper. We were kind enough when Infield enlisted the general support of all the people of Rensselaer in his railroad scheme and then found that he had instituted a star chamber corporation to keep still and go ahead with the boosting business. This was all very well, but those acts are all forgotten when Mr. Infield’s ire is stirred because an article is published about him where he is well known, that had already been published widespread in Decatur, 111., and Rushville Mr Infield may not be “in bad’’ in his federal law suit, but he is “in bad* when he tries to put any bluffs ovfer on the Republican force. j
