On Monday, however, she became worse and the family physician was summoned. Before he reached the house, however, she had lapsed into unconsciousness from which she never Tuesday'another doctor was called into consultation and every thing possible was done but to no avail. She became unconscious at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon but lived until 9:10 Tuesday evening.

Hurley Beam to Be a Reporter On the Indianapolis Star.

Hurley Beam, son of Monon Agent W. H. Beam, who has been taking a printing course at the Winona Technical School at Indianapolis, has secured a position on the city reportorial staff of the Indianapolis Star. He has a nose for news And a fine command of language for a young man, and a natural streak of humor that is very entertaining. He should develop rapidly with city newspaper sinstruction and become a valuable mah for the newspaper that employs him. He was employed for several months at the Republican office and later at the Democrat office and his work stamped him as a fine newspaper man ;in embryo. Agent W. I}. Beam had a bad spell with his heart last night and suffered intensely. He has had no assistance at the depot for the past two or three weeks and the work is telling on him. His son Hurley came up from Indianapolis this morning to help him for a few days.

Fred Phillips returned yesterday from his t;rlp to Dakota and Montana. He says that the •storm which we had here the past two weeks did not start as far northwest as Montana, and that the fruit whs not hurt at all in that state.

Sam Pullins, with whom Fred went out, has a quarter section of land in North Dakota and 420 acres in Montana. The latter is irrigated land. It is nicely watered and has some good improvements. He has 70 acres of wheat about 6 inches high and has 100 acres in alfalfa and is now seeding in spring wheat and oats, something over 100 acres. He will return here in three 05 four days and remain until fall, having a tenant on his Montana land.

Ezra Fix In Bad Fix Until Restored to His Sixty-Six.

A lost pocketbook, a disturbed owner, ah honest man and the Republican bureau of information combined to make a very interesting little occurrence Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Ezra Fix and J. O. Kelley, of Boswell, came to Rensselaer Tuesday to visit the former’s farm near McCoysburg, occupied by Elmer Hammerbecker. After the business at the farm had been transacted and Mr. Fix had paid his tenant $5 to bind a bargain for the purchase of some stock,’ the gentlemen started back to Rensselaer. Mr. Fix did not have occasion to use his pocketbook until after his return and was surprised to discover its absence from his pocket, where he remembered having placed it.

He spent a sleepless night and early in the morning rented another livery rig and went over the same trip he had made Tuesday when the pocketbook was lost. But he found no trace of the missing purse and after his return he called to advertise for it in the Republican. In the meantime B. J. Moore had called at the Republican and Btated that be had found a purse and it proved to be the one Mr. Fix had lost. It contained three S2O bills, one $5 bill and one $1 bill, making $66 in all. Mr. Fix was so pleased to get trace of his purse that he hunted Mr. Moore up at once and his pocketbook was restored to him intact. He presented Mr. Moore with a fiver and subscribed for the Republican and returned to Benton county with a pretty good opinion of Rensselaer and Jasper county.

At The Church of God Next Sunday.

The morning services at the usual hour; preaching by Rev. Halstead, if able to be there. Subject, “Justification Through Faith, How Obtained?” If unable to have preaching, there will be Bible study, conducted by the “Bereans;” which will be quite as interesting. Arrangements for regular services progressing, but not yet completed.

Fred W. Coen, who is the vice-pres-ident of the Cleveland & Toledo electric railroad, was here a short time this morning, having run down from Chicago where he had been called on business. Fred is one of the half dozen Coen boys who started out with nothing but a pair of hands, a strong mind and a determination to amount to something and he has grown to a position of trust and responsibility. Fred graduated from the Rensselaer high school in 1891. Judging from what the Indianapolis Star of this morning says the delegates that gathered in Indianapolis to attend the state convention won’t have much to do. The “wise old guys" of the partyhave fixed up the slate that is to win and all the trusting delegates will have to do is to vote for them. The platform has been similarly planned and Taggart has the reins so firmly in his grasp that even Governor Marshall, who has the confidence of his party generally is sure to be sidetracked while “Smiling Tom” lays the track that it is hoped will send him to the U. S. Senate. It is a very undemocratic convention.

Frank E. Cox, clothing clerk at Murray’s store, was called to Fair Oaks this morning by the sickness of his Bister, Miss Minnie Cox. He returned on the 10:55 train. It was believed that she had an attack of appendicitis. Mrs. J. A. McFarland, Worthy Matron; Mrs. C. W. Rhoades, Asso date; and J. K. Davis, Worthy Patron, of the Local Order of the Eastern Star, are attending the state convention at Indianapolis. Louis-Jensen left here last Saturday for Kankakee, where he has been given a chance to make good in the Trolley league.—Wheatfield Review. Gas has been struck in the well near town at a depth of 763 feet. Some oil was found, but the well will be dug to a depth of 900 feet to the second pay sand. —Roselawn Review. Printing that pleases..

COLLEGEVILLE.

Mr. J. J. Hayes, of Ft. Wayne, was a college visitor Thursday. Walter Rtenick, of Glbsonburg, 0., returned to his studies after a few weeks’ absence taking treatment for rheumatism. “Diamond Dust” Is the latest Addition to sporting newspaperdom. It’s the college base ball weekly, and it contains all the local sporting news. The student editors are taking great interest and spare no efforts to make the few pages newsy. C. Leary and L. McGurren are at the head of the paper. The invitations for the dedication of the chapel, which will take place May 17th, are out. The blessing services will be performed by Rt. Rev. H. J. Alerding, D. D., of Ft. Wayne, who will also preach the sermon. Pontifical high mass will be celebrated by Rt. Rev. J. M. Koudelka, D. D., of Cleveland. In the afternoon there will be the address by Governor Thomas R. Marshall; Very Rev. Joseph Chartrand, of Indianapolis; Edmund A. Wills, A. 8., of Detroit, Mich.

The altars have been erected in the chapel and they certainly add greatly to the interior finish. The pews have also been' arranged, and the darkstained, quarter-sawed oak contrasts pleasantly' with the daintily light frescoing of the walls. Owing to the floor dressing, varnishes, etc., the chapel will not any Vmger be open to visitors until the day of the dedication, May 17th. The varsity defeated the Religious in a good fame of base ball last Sunday, 4 to 1. Burkhart essayed to do the pitching for the south aiders and the three runs in the first inning were more than s\4fflcient to nail the game. Every member of the team batted like a Wagner. The feature of the game was Carmody’s home run drive into the cedar trees at the northeast corner of the terrace. The freaky weather man canceled all the league fames during the week. Next Sunday afternoon the Foresters, of Lafayette, will be taken into camp on the qollege diamond.

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 A Sea Reliable Grocers. SIGNS.

A Good Way to Use Hyomei.

Besides breathing through the Inhaler a few times a day, many catarrh Bufferers write that they find inhaling Hyomei from a bowl of steaming water each night before retiring, a great aid in curing stubborn cases. Try it; its very simple; gives quick relief and makes you breathe easier. Fill a bowl half full of bolting water; pour into the water a half teaspoonful 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 Hyomei at druggists everywhere or at Fendig’s Drug for only 50 cents. for extra bottle Hyomei Inhalent. But bear in mind if you want a Hyomei inhaler you must bny a complete outfit which only costs SI.OO. But as stated before; If you already own an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei costs but 50 cents. Hyomei is guaranteed by druggists everywhere and by B. F. Fendlg to cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds, rose fever, asthma and croup, or money back. Try it on that generous basis.
