local happenings. Miss Bertha Conway, of Delphi, returned home yesterday after a visit with Misß Lizzie Luers. Miss Minnie Hemphill is ill today and the third grade of the city schools is being taught by the substitute teacher, Miss Harriet Saylor. The Christian* Mothers of St. Augustine’s Catholic church will give a social at the parochial school hall Thursday evening of next week. Everybody is invited. For this week only, 4 cans sour kraut, 4 cans pumpkin, 3 cans fancy sweet potatoes, 3 cans apples, 3 cans Green Gage or Egg plums for 26c. JOHN EGER. The big cities in the east are planning to do away with the noisy 4th of July All the noise lovers are invited to come to Rensselaer this year and see what a real good celebration looks like.

A. J. Biggs returned Sunday afternoon from West Lebanon, where he attended the funeral Friday of his cousin, Miss Eva Lincoln, who died at Wingate at the age of 32 years after an extended illness. Don Warren came down from the Kankakee river this morning. The foot he cut with an ax about three weeks ago has been causing him trouble, having become infected by friction of a pair of rubber boots. The state P '•day school association will hold its .oth annual convention in Indianapolis next week and officers Bay it will be the largest gathering of Sunday school workers the state has ever seen. A street parade will be held Tuesday evening.

We have unloaded 5 car loads, over 1,000 barrels of flour since Jan. Ist, 1910. More flour than all the other merchants of Rensselaer have handled. We are not giving ourselves credit for salesmanship, but give the credit to the high quality of the flour. Remember every sack guaranteed to be the best flour made or money refunded. Aristos, Gem of the Valley, of Lord’s Bept, only $1.50 a sack. JOHN EGER. Roe Yeoman, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Yeoman, Is working for a Chilago company, and is now engaged ;n Installing a filtering plant at Rock Island, 111. His brother Ray was here Saturday and Sunday. He is taking the Royal Arch degree of his old home town. He is now at the head of the new department of civil engineering of Valparaiso University. Some minor work has been taught there before, but last fall Ray was engaged to institute the more advanced work and to establish a complete three year course. The work has progressed very satisfactorily ( and the university in all respects is progressing very nicely.

The fellow that said during March that he was “skeered” of what April would bring forth can now make use of the term “I told you so.” Saturday and Sunday’s cold and drizzling rain turned off this morning into a wet snow that melted almost as fast as it fell, but chilled the air and made everything disagreeable. It is so bad ihat most of us yill probably forget how fine a month March whs before long. The storm is general throughout the middle west It is reported that in North Dakota a snow and sleet storm started Friday and developed into a regular blizzard with the temperature far below the freezing point. Snow fell for 24 hours over southwestern lowa, and Missouri and Illinois are in the grasp of the storm. Fortunately Indiana can not be blamed for it, and apparently we are not *v&sering as much as our neighbors.

Let us deliver your gasoline, 16c a gallon. JOHN EGER. Wedding announcements—engraved or printed—furnished by The Republican. The Indiana state laundrymen’s association is having its annual meeting at Indianapolis. 1 gallon can apples or x l gallon can pie peaches for 26c. JOHN EGER. Frank Rowen and family have moved to the home of his mother, Mrs. Prior Rowen, on Elm street, where they will now make their home. The parish literary society of St. Augustine’s Catholic church will go to Kentland tomorrow night to present “Tony, the Convict,” recently presented to large audiences in the school hall.

O. H. McKay has about completed his removal of the laundry from the room over Hemphill’s blacksmith shop to the old Republican building. He will have a flne and convenient place when he gets fitted up. Rain Saturday interferred with the high school ball game. The Brook lads came over and headed by the boys’ band all went to the park but King Pluvius started trouble and the game had to be called off. Harvey Davisson is back from North Dakota, bringing another man back with him. He reports that the removal to that state was made without incident, that they are well located and all like it first-class. He will be here for several days. Misses Alice Coen and Gertrude Jackson were hostesses at the home of the former Saturday evening to ‘the members of the Girls’ Literary Club, about twenty in number. Refreshments were served and the evening spent in playing dominoes. Mayor Shanks is having a hard time to compel respect of the Sabbath by saloon keepers in Indianapolis, and Sunday nine arrests were made, mostly in suburban districts. Healthy fines and the threat to annul the license if again caught violating the law is gradually bringing the law discreditors into submission.

The little poem entitled "Spring Beauties” by Mrs. Elizabeth Livingstone Pancoast, wife of A. C. Pancoast, is one of the most winning of the many verses Mrs. Pancoast has written, and we publish it with the consent of the author. Mrs. Pancoast writes verse for pasttime, but it seems that there would be a popular demand for them if published in the magazines. Two young sons of Joe Kosta, of northwest of Surrey, had a runaway accident Sunday. They were driving a big mare hitched to a single buggy and she became frightened at Dr. Washburn’s automobile. -One of the ladß jumped out of the buggy and the other and older one clung to the lines and tried to stop the frightened animal. Dr. Washburn ran around the square and headed the horse off and stopped it, much to the relief of the frightened boy, who at once climbed out and started to lead the horse. Near the old Republican office the boy encountered several men and one of them raised an umbrella which caused the horse to jerk away from the youth and start north on 'Weston street. Several fruitless attempts were made to stop her. She turned west at JudMoore’s corner, south on Vanßensselaer and east o.n Angelica to Weston, where Bruce Haydy, after being knocked off his feet by one of the ■ i buggy wheels, recovered himself and brought her to a stop. One shaft was [ broken, but the rig not otherwise ln--IUM<L . A

Winamac Presbyterian Minister to Be Married Thursday Morning.

Rev. J. C. Parrett, pastor of the Rensselaer Presbyterian church will go to Winamac Wednesday to officiate the following morning at 11 o’clock at the marriage of Rev. J. Herron Miller to Miss Maru Light, of Winamac. Rev. Miller recently assisted Rev. Parrett in conducting meetings here and made many friends while in the city and the friendship between himself and Rev. Parrett resulted in him asking his brother minister to perform the marriage.

President Will Be Asked by Petition to Pardon John R. Walsh.

At 10:46 o’clock Tuesday morning a collection of petitions, signed by more than 26,000 people will be presented to President Taft asking that Johh R. Walsh be pardoned from the government penitentiary at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. He is ill and it is hoped to secure his pardon so that he will not die in the penitentiary. W. A. Callop, representative from the Second Indiana district will make the application. Among the signers are many thousands of working men who are employed in the Indiana stone quarries which Walsh helped to develop. Mr. Callop said in reference ~to the petition: “Mr. Walsh is very popular in Indians!. It would have been impossible to have found a jury that would have convicted him in the section of the state where he conducted his railroad and stone quarry operations.”

Ex-County Commissioner of White County is Now Totally Blind.

White County Democrat. The many friends of Ex-County Commissioner Pefry Spencer will be sorry to learn that he has become totally blind, not being able to see to get about at all without assistance. For some twenty-two years Mr. Spencer has been blind in one eye from a cataract. Some months ago the sight of the other eye began to become obscure, the trouble rapidly growing until it is now entirely gone from the same cause. He has arranged to go to Cincinnati next Monday where he will have one eye operated on—the one that has been blind thg. longer—in hopes of restoring the sight. The operation involves cutting the eye open and removing the crystaline lens from behind the pupil. The operation is a rather delicate one, though not regarded as very serious, what danger there is arising from the possibility of inflammation following.

Death Certificates Show Ignorance, Inaccuracy and Incompetence.

Dr. Hurty goes after the incompetent doctors of the state in the monthly bulletin of the state board of health. He says that some of the death certificates show Ignorance, inaccuracy and incompetence. One report is discussed as follows: To receive certificates showing only a symptom, as cause of death is not uncommon. The last remarkable instance was a report of a death by “meningitis.” The cause of the meningitis was not given. We wrote to the physician who reported the death, calling his attention to the fact that it was necessary to known whether it was epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis, tubercular meningitis, or traumatic. We also should know if it followed scarlet fever, pneumonia, or Borne acute infection. In reply to these questions he says: "I write you in ans to the withe in and will say that in my Opinion Mrs. died of Meningitis I saw her on the 9th day of her sickness was being treated by Dr. on my second visit right side was Parellzed and their was infection of one Ere their was bloody Puss Issuing from Ere being he cause of he Meningitis.” The above is quoted exactly as written, and, of course, explains why our physician was either inaccurate or possibly negligent. He simply was overcome with ignorance. However, Ignorance is not always the explanation of inaccurate reports.

JUDGE FINED SHERIFF $100 FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

For Not Having Conducted Bader to The Penitentiary at Onfce Judge The failure of Sheriff Louis P. Shirer to conduct Clinton L. Bader to the penitentiary after the sentence waß passed on the latter for bridge graft resulted this Monday morning in Judge C. W. Hanley imposing on Sheriff Shirer a fine of SIOO for contempt of court. The sentence was passed on Bader on Monday evening, March 7th, and the court ordered the sheriff to carry out the sentence by taking the convicted man to the penitentiary. The next day it is understood the sheriff was Instructed to wait a day or two until the court heard from some investigations that had been instituted about other bridges that Bader’s company had built in Jaspfer county. On Wednesday evening the court ordered the clerk to make out committment papers and this was done but the sheriff could not start until the next morning, when he took Bader to his home In Winamac, where he was to be given a chance to straighten some business affairs and bid his family farewell. The sheriff was of the opinion that the court acquised in the action and that he had under the law five days from Wednesday in which to carry out the instructions of the court. The sheriff remained In Winamac until Sunday afternoon, during which time Bader’s attorneys and friends busied themselves in getting Governor Marshall to intervene. On Sunday a letter reached the sheriff bearing the signature of Governor Marshall and ordering him not to conduct Bader to the penitentiary but to release him pending a decision by him as to whether or not he would grant a parole until the case could be heard on appeal to the supreme court. On Sunday evening the sheriff and Mr. Bader and his two daughters came to Rensselaer in an automobile and after consulting his attorney George A. Williams, Mr. Bader returned to Winamac. Within a few days a parole was granted by the governor until such time as the supreme court could rule on the appeal. The court by fining the sheriff ruled that he had overstepped his rights in allowing Bader to remain at Winamac while his friends were at work in his behalf. After the sentence was passed by the court Sheriff Shirer’s attorneys, G. A. Williams and Frank Foltz, gave notice of an appeal from his decision and no bond was required.

A Good Way to Use Hyomei.

Besides breathing through the inhaler a few times a day, many catarrh sufferers write that they find inhaling Hyomel from a bowl of steaming water each night before retiring, a great aid in curing stubborn cases. Tty it; its very simple; gives quick relief and makes you breathe easier. Fill a bowl half full of boiling water; pour into the water a half tea* spoonful of Hyomei, cover head and bowl with a towel and breathe through nose and mouth the medicated antiseptic and healing vapor that arises. This method relieves that stuffiness at once and makes your head feel clear. You can get a bottle of Hyomel at druggists everywhere or at Fendig’s Drug Store for only 50 cents. Ask for extra bottle Hyomei Inhalent. But bear in mind if you want a Hyomei inhaler you must buy a complete outfit which only costs SI.OO. But as stated before; if you already own an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomel costs but 50 cents. Hyomel is guaranteed by druggists everywhere and by B. F. Fendig to cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds, rose fever, asthma and croup, or money back. Try it on that generous basis. Dr. E. Besser, of Remington, returned this afternoon from Chicago Heights, where he went Sunday to remain over night at the home of his sister and visit his mother, who is visiting there from lowa.

WEATHER FORECAST. Rain or snow tonight. Tuesday partly cloudy and continued cool.

snora beauties. [Elizabeth Living-stone Pancoast.] Again the sweet flowers are blooming. And faintly perfuming the breeze. Again the soft winds are singing Glad songs to the whispering trees. Again the hillsides are wearing Carpets of emerald hue, Again the bright sun is shining Out of a sky of blue. Again the wild birds are mingling Their cheerful and varied notes, Again little frogs .are tuning The bass yiols in their throats. Again the hand of Nature Is painting the’ woodland trees, Again her colors blending, The human eye to please. Again the old world is smiling As if glad to be dressed anew, Again she is freely giving Her beauties to me and you. April 14, 1910.

Health Officers Have Powers Of Pure Food Law Inspectors.

The monthly bulletin of the State , Board of Health just published sets forth that each health officer of the state Of Indiana is .made a food inspector by the pure food and sanitary laws of the state, and that each health officer has failed to do his duty who does not personally inspect the food dispensaries. The health officer has the power at all times to enter any building or room which is occupied or used for the production, storage or sale of foods and to inspect the premises and all of the utensils and machinery. If he finds that the owner, operator, or any person connected with the business is guilty of violation or evasion of the law, it Is his duty at once, to do one of two things, report the violation to the State Food and Drug Commission or to furnish evidence of the violation to the prosecuting attorney who shall begin action against them. The bulletin shows that the health officer at South Bend in February inspected the grocery stores, meat markets, drug stores, confectionery stores, bakery shops, restaurants and hotels and graded them all under the heading excellent, good, fair, poor and bad. Not a grocery store in South Bend was given the rating of “excellent,” although 42 were good and 51 fair. Other business were about at the same proportion. Dr. Hurty urges the health officers to the inspection of all food dispensaries in their territories at once, and says that when all the 700 county, city and town health officers have conscientiously fulfilled their duties in this respect it will be known that the laws are accomplishing their purpose.

WHY SO WEAK?

Kidney Troubles Hay be Sapping Your Life Away.. Rensselaer People Have Learned This Fact. When a healthy man or woman begins to run down without apparent cause, becomes weak, languid, depressed, suffers backache, headache, dizzy spells and urinary disorders, look to the kidneys for the cause of it all. Keep the kidneys well and they will keep you well. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and keep them well. Here is Rensselaer testimony to prove it. Mrs. Henry Randle, Forest street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I have not the least hesitation in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills, as I know them to be a reliable remedy for kidney complaint Last July I had a severe attack of backache, accompanied bv pains through my loins. It was all I could do to attend to my work. When I was suffering the worst, one of my neighbors advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, in fact, gave me a few that she had in the house. I took them and was so impressed with the results that I procured a further supply at Larsh’s Drug Store. They acted just as represented and In a short time I was free from pain i think a great deal of Doan’s Kidney Pills and highly recommend them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other. Jesse Slaughter, 25 years old. was blown to pieces by an explosion of dynamite on the farm of Ward Martin - dale, near Shirley, Ind. He was blasting stumps and was carrying fifteen pounds of dynamite to make his last blast of the day. In crossing the field the dynamite exploded, blowing him to shreds. Part of the body was found Wednesday evening a great distance from the scene. Virgil Burton, a five-year-old Terre Haute boy, set fire to the dress of his 3-year-old sister yesterday because he “wanted to see what she would do," and Bhe probably will die. tV Phenomlnal has been the increase in the last twenty years in the value of wealth produced on farms of the United States. Figures carefully prepared by the statisticians of the department of agriculture show this increase to have been 16,300,000,000 in the period from 1889 to the close of last year.
