Miss Alice Shedd, accompanied by Miss Mae Andrews, came from Otterbein today to spend Sunday at the former’s home. For this week only, our large package of oatmeal, without a china dish, only 17c. Our regular 25c package, with a china dish, 20c. JOHN EGER. J. P. Simons returned from Indr lanapolis last evening where he has been for the past two weeks on the federal jury. He- has not been used in a case so far and will probably not be, as it Is quite probable that the trials of the Markers will occupy most of the rest of the term. Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Fendig will entertain today Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Williamson, of New York city. He is a big commission man there and Ben has shipped turkeys to him for a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson have been visiting in Colorado and are stopping off here on their return trip to the east. Silas Swain has had his Reo auto painted a Brewster green by Jack Warner and it looks just like new. There are few painters in a class with “Uncle Jack” when it comes to carriage and auto painting and his work shows the sort of conscientiousness that was more general a few years ago is now. Simeon ,Dowell, father of Mrs. W W. Burns, and who accompanied her here today, is paying his first visit tc Rensselaer for eight years. He is not so heavy as he used to be and is quite a little broken in health, having suffered considerably with the rheumatism which has left him slightly crippled He resides at Conway, lowa.

Chas. Wellington, of Lafayette, the New York Life Insurance agent, is looking after some business here. He slipped on the icy pavement seven weeks ago at Lafayette and severely sprained his right knee and he is still compeled to use crutches, but they are no hindrance to his powers of speech when he gets a chance to put up a talk for his brand of life insurance. Truant Officer Steward went to Wheatfield yesterday expecting to conduct an incorrigible boy named East to the reform school. It seeiys that East has been causing his teacher a lot of trouble and it was decided to place him in the reform school. His mother, however, interceded so pleadingly for him and the boy promised to apoliglze to his teacher and to hereafter behave that it was decided to give him another chance. Father Christian Daniel, pastor pi St. Augustine’s church, has had the ground cleared and is today staking out-for the buldlng that will be erected as a residence in the Catholic church square at the corner of Weston and Angelica streets. The bulldihg will be old Colonial style, and will consist of eight rooms and modern fixtures in every way. It will be brick veneered and a creditable addition to the buildings already erected by the church. The Lafayette Morning Journal and the big Burt-Haywood printing plant is now the sole property of George P. Haywood, the Lafayette attorney. He purchased the interest of his partner, Tom Burt, Thursday. It is stated that Mr. Burt Is very ill and not expected to recover and that he wished to close his business as nearly as possible. He is the postmaster at Lafayette. Mr. Haywood is said to have paid $50,000 for the Burt interest in the newspaper and job printing business. “Dr. Thomas* Eclectic Oil is the best remedy for that often fatal diseasecroup.

It is strange indeed to see a lot of republican politicians in Jasper county tearing their shirts off to keep a democratic bridge grafter out of the penitentiary. The zeal displayed in this matter looks bad, to say the least. —Jasper County Democrat. The Republican can see no effort on the part of republican politicians to seek to keep Mr. Bader out of the penitentiary. We believe that the fueling of sympathy has been extended tc him largely on account of his family and in the belief that he was the victim of a system that was more general that has become known. We believe that many people regretted to see him go to the penitentiary for 2 to 14 years because they have considered the purpose of the law to be'reform-, atory and not persecutionary. Bader has learned the lesson that his bridges must be built according to specifications just as well as he would learn it if he served a penitentiary term. He has a wife and five children who need him and he has his means largely in his business which needs his attention. To send him to the peitentiary now would cause his family untold anguish and possibly result in the complete destruction of his business. That would be revenge but we are really glad to know there arc some men, both republicans and democrats, who approved of the exposure and of the conviction, but who are oi the opinion that the lesson has been taught and who are willing to extend the gracious hand of aid to the convicted man. The petition that was sent from Rensselaer asking a .temporary respite for Mr. Bader was signed by N. Littlefield, chairman of the democratic z central committee, by N. S. Bates, J. A. McFarland and prominent democrats who havfe probably never given the matter of politics a single thought and whose action was prompted by a motive higher than politics and which shows that there are a good many people who are not trying to take advantage of the misfortune of others to political ends. Mr. Bader was a democrat, is a democrat. The judge that tried him and the prosecutor that succeeded in convicting him are republicans. The lawyer that defended him is a republican. We can see no political significance in any of this and nothing that could possibly be gained to any person in keeping Mr. «Bader out of the penitentiary. On the other hand we can see no reason unless it should be one of personal savage vengeance why any one could get any satisfaction in gloating over Bader’s punishment. Worse men than he are breathing the air of freedom under the protection of political influence that arc corrupt but Bader had been convicted, sentenced and paroled and we believe that no harm can be done to any person on earth by his parole and we are confident that no political capital can be made out of the fact that a democratic governor paroles a democratic convict because good and responsible men of both parties have recommended it. ✓

Sheriff Shirer this Saturday morning received his instructions from Governor Marshall to extend the parole of Clinton L. Bader until his case was decided In 'the supreme court, admitting him to ball in the sum of $2,000. The sheriff at once telephoned Bader, who with his bondsmen met him at Logansport, where the bond was signed. This will permit Mr. Shirer to get back home this Saturday evening.

Classified Advertisement Restored Philip Blue’s Twenty Dollar Bill.

Philip Blue lost a S2O bill from his pocket Friday and naturally came tc the Republican to have it advertised. Mrs. A. Halleck found the money on the sidewalk in front of Rowles & Parker’s store, saw the ad in the Republican and resored It to its owner,. Thus, is demonstrated the value of advertising, as well as the fact that some people are honest beyond temptation. Captain Burnham Is considerably weaker today and is evidently nearing the portals of death.

DIABETIC POISONING CAUSED DEATH OF W. W. BURNS.

Body Arrived in Rensselaer After Day’s Delay and Funeral Held Saturday at Christian Church. William W. Burns, whose death at his farm near Alexandria, Minn., occurred last Tuesday morning, was the victim of diabetic poisoning and his death resulted after an Illness of only 24 hours. The body reached here on the 10:55 train this Saturday morning, having been delayed by failure to transfer at St. Paul, Minn., although the wife and daughter came through to Chicago on time, and did not learn until after their arrival that the body had failed to accompany them. Mrs Burns’ father, Sim Dowell, of Conway. lowa, met her at Chicago, and gave assistance in locating the body, which reached Chicago this morning. Mr. Burns had been in his usual health apparently when a sore re sembling a felon appeared on his right thumb. He thought it was a felor and last Monday had it lanced. Tht next morning he was dead. The sore on the thumb did not cause the poisoning, but the poisoning caused the sore and death seems to have been inevitable. Many of the old neighbors and friends of the deceased man and his widow were at the station when the corpse arrived and the grief-strlken wife received many expressions of sorrow at her great loss. - The funeral was held at the Christian church at 2 o’clock this Saturday afternoon and burial was made in the old Smith cemetery in Barkley township.

Next Monthly Horse Sale Is Wednesday, April 6th.

The next monthly horse sale for Rensselaer is Wednesday, April 6th and the success of the two former sales should be sufficient guarantee that this also will be a great sale day. Persons having horses for sale and wanting to get the top market price should bring them here on that day and let the buyers, local and foreign, make them an offer. At the same time, persons who want to buy horses should be here and take their chances along with others. Last mqnth horses were brought here and sold from a distance of more than thirty miles. It will pay persons coming from a distance to get in a day or two before and have their horses looking as good as possible for the sale day.

Tame Duck Dinner at Fate’s Model Restaurant Sunday.

Tame ducks will be served for Sunday dinner at Fate’s restaurant. We are going broke again by doing it all for a quarter. It don’t pay to start a fire in the range when Fate servei such fine dinners so cheap. Don’t miss the place. The Fat Dinner Man is expecting you.

A. M. Munden and wife are here from Charlottsville, having stopped off for a visit with her brother, J. C. Gwin and family, on their way back from Illinois, where they had been foi the past month. A factory proposition is being considered by the commercial club and it looks very-good from the representations of two members of the company who have visited Rensselaer. A meeting of a number of citizens was held several nights ago and President Worland, of the commercial club, appointed a number of men to go to Chicago to investigate the plant which is now in operation in Chicago. They will gc there on the early train Monday morning. Joe Reynolds, son of Mrs. S. R. Nichols, was called in off the road a few days ago and when he reached the head office of the J. W. Butler paper company in Chicago, they informed him that they bad decided tc make him a special salesman in the city spies department. This will give him a desk in the office and make him practically the head of that branch of the firm’s business?' Joe has been traveling for only about a year but he has built up a big business and has secured the confidence of his employes and his promotion is a deserved consequence. His friends in Rensselaer will be glad that he has received the boost.

Monument Aid Comes From C. P. Mayhew, Former Resident,

Chas. P. Mayhew, whom many Rensselaer and Jasper county, people will remember as a resident for some years of this city, and who has resided for many years in Red Bluffs, Cal., where he conducts a tea store, sent a money order for $5 to the Milroy monument fund with the following interesting letter: “Enclosed find post-office for |5 in aid of Milroy monument. Mrs. Mayhew and myself are very much pleased on account of the movement made in erecting such a monument. Such an expression from the people is due Jasper’s noble men who died in'the- service of their country. We probably knew all of them and some were relatives,”

Ho- | Copyright 1909, by C. E. Zimmerman Co.-No. 10 Have You Ever Thought What Care Is Exercised In the Making of Good Furniture ? The Old Cabinet Maker Says: In making the kind of furniture sold in our store, each piece of •nJ n ? er i 8 Belected and seasoned for months before it is used. Skillful workmen then cut it and complete a piece at a time. The grain of the wood iff treated to a preparation caller a “filler ” then it is sand-papered, after which the finish is given. Then, it is again sand-papered and another coat of varnish is given, « This is the reason that'upon our furniture there is a lustre that lasts. Of course, if we simply sold you furniture regardless of how it was going to look in a few years from now, we could beat our already low prices. We can’t afford to sell you anything which is not proper and right in every way. When it is easv to misrepresent, don’t you think it safer to buy at home from somebody who. knows how to select furniture, who you know is absolutely reliable—from somebody upon whom you can depend upon for honest goods ? A little reflection will show you that we are right in this particular and a close inspection will prove that our prices are lower than you can secure anywhere else. You know that quality counts in furniture, for it is something that you don’t buy every day. \ DM. WORLAND’S Reliable Furniture House Van Rensselaer Street Rensselaer, Indiana . •' rV-t ' ■*-
