MONON PASSENGER TRAIN KILLS MAN AT ST. JOHNS.

Foreman of Monon Painters Hit While Patting Hand Car Awaylind InStantly Killed. Passenger train No. 36, which passes through Rensselaer at about 5:30 o’clock in the morning, killed a man named Jackson, foreman of the Monon railroad gang of painters, at St. Johns station this Tuesday morning. Mr. Jackson was helping get the hand car off the track and from what can be gathered about the accident, he was at the back end of the car and had just shoved the car from the track when the engine struck him. Death is said to have been instantaneous, but as to whether or not the body was badly mangled is not known here. Jackson’s home was in Paoli. He was about 45 years of age and had been in charge of the Monon painting gang for several years. He was known to several men who have business at the depot, having been in charge last year when the depot was repainted.

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME.

J. C. Porter, Victim of Heart Failure, Passes Away Without a Moment’s Warning. John Calvin Porter, well known throughout Jasper county as Cal Porter, and one of the best known soldiercitizens of the city and county, died suddenly at about 10 minutes before 1 o’clock today (Tuesday). He had finished his dinner and was sitting on the sofa at his home at the corner of Cullen and Susan streets when he was seized with a sharp pain in his heart. His wife was near his side and he spoke of the severe pain and she stepped to the kitchen to get him a glass of water. He sank back on the sofa and when she came in he was unconscious. She called the family physician and he arrived in a very short time but death had ensued before his arrival. Mr. Porter was in poor health several years ago but during recent years had been in very good health. This morning he was up town and feeling as well as usual. His death was a great shock to the community and the news of it spread over town very repidly. He was about 66 years of age and served in the civil war with an Ohio regiment. He had resided in Jasper county since the war and was the owner of a quarter section of good land northwest of Rensselaer. For several years he was engaged in the coal business in Rensselaer. He was twice married, his second wife surviving him. One son, Charles W. Porter, by his first marriage, also survives, and one stepson, William Salter, of Kansas City.

Pin in Appendix Responsible for Mrs. C. S. Chamberlin’s Trouble.

In the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago Monday Mrs. 0 S. Chamberlin was operated on for a tliir« lime and it is thought the didcovery made by the physicians will result in the restoration of her health. Several months ago Mrs. Chamberlin began to decline in health and last June she went to Chicago to undergo an operation for the removal of her appendix. Owing to the formation of an abcess in the location of the appendix it was decided,inadvisable to remove the appendix and the surgeons and specialists that there were symptoms of tuberculosis of the right pelvic bone. A few weeks ago she returned to Chicago, the wound never having healed and underwent a slight operation. Last Saturday she returned and the surgeons determined to make another effort to remove the appendix, which was accomplished and greatly to their surprise they found a pin embedded in the appendix. She remembered having swallowed a pin and the surgeons stated that that was the only manner it could have found lodgment there. The point of the pin was downward and had entered the pelvic bone, where the surgeons feared the tuberculosis condition existed, and about the head of the pin a stony formation had accumulated. The pin had evidently been the cause of all the trouble and prodding the bone whenever she moved caused her great agony. Now that the cause of the trouble has been removed it is thought she will be restored to health. She wiU be compelled to remain at the hospital for some time.

Grocery Satisfaction If your grocer pleases you in every particular, you have no cause for changing. Even WE can do no more than that. But if you think some of making a shift, we would be glad to give you the best service of which we are capable. Often and often we have turned now-and-again customers into steady patrons. And we lose a surprising few of the really particular grocery buyers, who once become our customers. Try us on anything you like. McFarland & San Reliable Grocers.
