Many realize that an exclusive shoe dealer devotes more time to the study of footwear and the foot, than a merchant handling all lines. Consequently he should give a better fit, better quality and better styles at an equal or lower price. If you have never considered this proposition, do so.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1910.

AUTO WITH TWO MEN JUMPS FROM ABUTMENT.

Alf and Roy Lowman Have Narrow Escape When Buick Leaps From Grade at East Bridge. That Alf and Roy Lowman are alive and practically uninjured today is rather remarkable, for they were carried over the stone abutment at the Jroquois river bridge a mile east of town Thursday evening in the same Buick No. 10 that Dr. Hansson was driving several weeks ago when he pulled through a barbed wire fence near St. Joseph’s college. Dr. Hansson sold the machine a few days ago to Harvey Lowman, the Pleasant. Ridge merchant, and his nephews, Alfred and Roy Lowman had come to Rensselaer in it. They were, returning home and had turned off to the right near the bridge to let a buggy pass and as Alf, who was driving and who has had considerable experience as a chauffeur, twisted the steering gear to the left after passing the rig, in order to bring the machine again to the center of the road, it veered sharply to the left and shot off the bridge abutment. Both men were carried with it and when the machine struck the ground some ten feet beyond and four feet below both crashed through the glass front and rolled over on the ground. The car did not move after striking the ground and the men were foftainate that it was not running fast as It doubtless would have overturned and pinned them underneath. Alf was cut and pricked by the glass slightly on both hands, his left elbow was considerably bruised and a patch of skin knocked off the front part of his right leg. Roy was worse cut about one hand, but had no other injuries The car, which one would naturally think to be ruined, was very little hurt except for the breaking of the glass front wind shield. Mr. Lowman got the car out of the ditch and back to the road the same evening and in the morning it was brought to town and left for repairs at a local garage. Too much play.in the steering gear is thought to have caused the accident. Peculiarly, it’occurred in identically the same manner as it did with Dr. Hansson, having taken a sudden turn sharply to the left. Mrs. R. D. Thompson is spending today in Lafayette. Lafayette is to have a -big home coming celebration this year, beginning on Sept. 26th. Miss M. J. Rose, of Cissna Park, 111., who had been visiting her brother, W’ C. Rose and family, near McCoysburg, took the 10:55 train in Rensselaer this morning for Lafayette. Dr. A. J. Miller, who now lives at New Salem, this week had his bees and bee supplies shipped to him. He was quite a bee raiser while here and had about a dozen stands shipped. Edward Mohlman, of Lafayette, is here visiting his brother George Mohlman, who works in the cement tile mill and Ed has decided to accept a intended trip to the west. Henry Childers and sons, John and Isaac, and daughter, Mrs. Eva Arnold, of Delphi, came yesterday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Frank Rowen, who was a granddaughter of Henry Childers and a niece of the others. They returned to Delphi this afternoon. Word was received here yesterday that Dr. Loy’s father had died at Piqua, Ohio. He was about 90 years of age and has been declining for several months: Dr. Loy was in Rensselaer the day before and had probably not reached Piqua when his father died. Most farmers seem to think that the oats may have been done a little damage by the freeze of Tuesday night but all agree that they are suffering for a want of rain. Most people with whom we have conversed incline to the belief that plums and pears were hurt by the freeze and frost but that most other fruits escaped. N S. Bates reports that his strawberries were hurt but little by the freeze but that they are suffering quite a little from the drouht. Peaches, cherries and apples, most people whom we have interviewed, seem to think are not much injured.

Poor Travelers Sell Soap And Note Tells Story of Desertion.

A great many families in Rensselaer today responded to an appeal for aid from a family of travelers that was passing through Rensselaer and had camped some place near town. There were a number of children who went from house to house in town offering soap for sale. A note which each set carried with them and which was worded to indicate that some one interested in the family had written it, told a story of husband and father’s desertion of the wife and nine children and assigned as the reason for his leaving, that the wife had rebelled against the steady increase in the family. The children were very poorly dressed and the object of pity wherever they appeared and they consequently found many ready to buy their soap and give other aid in the way of money, clothing, food, etc. Of course, there is a chance that the scheme was really that of professional beggars, and it is probable that almost every family appealed to contributed by the purchase of soap or the giving of something, and as the soap, that was sold 3 cakes for 25 cents, was not worth more than 3 for a dime, the family had a good day’s work and those who, prompted by charity, helped them along, are deserving of credit, even if it" was misplaced.

Bob Sheetz Gets a Boost With an Increased Salary.

Robert Sheetz, son- of Mrs. James Ennis, who has been, working for the Chicago and Northwestern railroad for the past three years, being what is called the maintainer of block signals, has just received notice that he has been made the superintendent of block signals for the territory between Chicago and Madison, Wis., with an increase in salary from $75 to S9O. He will have an office in the Chicago and Northwestern depot in Chicago. He is in line for further promotion and like all Rensselaer boys who get busy he is sure to get it, for he has the kind of grit that makes for success.

Lake County Firm Begin Job Of Shearing 3,000 Head of Sheep.

Crown Point Star. John Brown & Son will start sheep shearing on a flock of 3,000 next week with two professional shearers who use a gasoline engine for power, and each one is supposed to finish 150 per day, while 40 was a good day’s work the old-fashioned way for one man They are also stocking their ranch with young mules and have nine yearlings and two-year-olds to start with, and expect in a few months to furnish all of the Kankakee country with vocal music. All mules are singers, especially when it is time for feeding.

Skin Diseases Readily Cured By a Simple Home Treatment.

Persons who are suffering from blackheads, pimples, dandruff, eczema, tetter, ring-worm, or any form of skin disease, often ask the question, “Is there-a cure?” Mr. A. F. Long, the druggist, says, “yes, there is a cure.” ZEMO, a scientific, clean, liquid preparation for external use, gives prompt relief and permanently cures every form of skin and scalp disease. ZEMO draws the germ life and poisons from underneath the skin to the surface and destroys them and in this'way affects a complete cure of any form of skin or scalp disease, whether on infants or grown persons. Mr. A. F/Long will show you, proof of many remarkable cures made by ZEMO and will gladly explain to you how you can be cured by this clean, simple home treatment. 2 Word was received here Thursday of the death at Cherubusco on Wednesday night of the mother of George W Terwilleger, who was at her bedside when the end came. The body was shipped to Champaign, 111., for burial today, and Mrs. Terwilleger and daughter went there to attend the funeral. - Mrs. Roy Chissom and son Gordon, of Chicago, are visiting her parents, MJ. and Mrs. George McCarthy.
