HARMONY IN THE CONVENTION

A Rensselaer citizen yesterday discussed the dog subject with the writer. He is of TRrtjpiniatt that there are a lot of worthless dogs ebout Renßßelaer that ought to be disposed of. There has been considerable agitation about hydrophobia this spring in other places and the sad occurence near Medaryville laßt year when Mrs. Pass lost her life should be a warning to dog owners. Assessors should see that no dog escapes taxation and the worthless and homeless curs should be killed. 0>

“Wets” Gained In Elections Held Tuesday in Illinois Cities.

In the “wet” and “dry” contests in Illinois Tuesday, the “wets” made a considerable gain. Danville, Bloomington, Decatur, Rockford, Dekalb,. Dixon, Harvard, Clinton and other -towns that voted "dry” two years ago, reversed their votes and saloons will now be started in them. Pontiac voted for saloons after having been without them for ten years. A few towns also voted against the saloon, where the bars had been running before. F. Gilzinger, of Francesville; Lou D. McConnell, of Oxford, and O. W. Nill and E. J. Miller, of Hammond, are registered at the Makeever today.

There are still a number of reckless automobile drivers, especially among the younger class of owners or drivers. Several people have complained recently to the Republican about the speed at which some machines are driven on the road, about carelessness when horses shy and atxmt frequent failures to conform with tne law about tooting the horns to give warning. One man today made specific charges against a youth who had three or four friends out for a drive a few days ago and who he says came up from the rear and dashed by his buggy without warning and badly frightened his horse. Later they ran -by another rig in the same manner and the horse ran for some distance endangering the lives of the three women who occupied the buggy. The boys were unmindful of the danger they were placing others in and probably ignorant of the fact that they were violating the law in a manner might mean a large fine. The auto is all right, but the drivers should remember that other conveyances have rights that must be respected.

Mrs. L. J. Lane Died Suddenly At Her Home Tuesday Noon.

Mrs. Lizzie Lane, wife of L. J. Lane, died Tuesday at about 12 o’clock at

her home southeast of Rensselaer. Mrs. Lane had been at the home of relatives in Illinois for several months prior to about three weeks ago, when she returned to her husband and family here. She had been in failing health for six years, having been frightened while the family was living in Arkansas and the fright so wrecked her nervous system that she became a phys’eal wreck. Later dropsy set in and for this, she was operated on several times. About two years ago her li'e was despaired of, but she rallied and since she returned to Jasper county, three weeks ago, she has shown considerable improvement. She was able to be up part of the time and was standing by the side of the bed when death came to her. Members of the family were attracted by a loud cry which she uttered and hastening to the bedside, saw her fall backward across the bed. Investigation disclosed that she was dead. Deceased leaves a husband and five chiHren. The (oldest is a daughter named Edith* who has been living at Tribo'o, 111., for some time. The other children are all at home. They are Ivlo’jroe, Ella, Orlando and Emerson. The body will be shipped to Cramer, 111., and the funeral will be held Thursday. Deceased was 43 years of age last November.

Ephraim Hanep Died March 30th as Result of Accident

Ephraim Hanes, who with his family, resided for some time on the J. W. Poole farm north of Rensselaer, died on March 30th at Crandon, Wis., as the result of an accident which occurred last January. The family moved to Wisconsin last fall and he was engaged in hauling cross ties on a slea. The sled careened to one side and the ties fell on him, inflicting internal injuries that caused his death, some two months later. Mr* Hanes was born in Laurel countyT don, Kentucky, and was 65 years of age. He was buried at Crandon. His son, A. B. Hanes and wife, went to Crandon shortly after the accident to be with his father. Here is another.record breaker. 100 mens’ and young mens’ suits, sizes 28 to 36, of good materials and patterns. They are not up to the standard for style. I want to turn them into money.

Dance at Gleaner’s Hall Wednesday, April 13th.

The Gleaners will-give another oi their popular dances at their hall next Wednesday evening, April 13th. Good music, good order and a pleasant evening. Everybody invited.

Church of God Services.

Preaching next Sunday morning at the usual hour of service, if health permits. A full attendance of members and friends of the church is desired, -hoping that then, and thereby, some definite action will be started to secure preaching regularly by some one able to render the service. The present arrangement can not longer be depended upon for regular service, from lack of strength and health, which have already, pretty much entirely prevented service during the winter.

Methodist Brotherhood.

The Brotherhood meets Friday, Apl. Bth, at 7:30 P. M. The subject Sunday morning at the Trinity M. E. church is “Behind Him, Before Him.” Sunday evening, “A Cleansed Way,” sermon to young people.
