Young clover is in danger, but is thought to be safe yet. - Wheat and oats are not 'damaged materially. i ■ The populatlhn of the Indiana reformatory has shown a remarkable falling oft in six months, since the present management took charge.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 80, 1010.

A Sane Fourth for Rensselaer Suggested by Mrs. Thompson.

Mrs. Mary" E. Thompson, who is at the head of the Milroy monument movement, and at whose suggestion the date of the unveiling was set for July 4th, suggests that Rensselaer should have a sane fourth this year, devoid of firecrackers, torpedoes, tols and other modern -noise making and fright producing devices. The unveiling of the monument which will be the big event of the da/ will draw lots of old soldiers and old people generally to the scene, and they will desire to give-marked attention to the speaking. This will be impossible if they are constantly in fear of the discharge of firecrackers and other things, and even If the noise is at a

somewhat remote place it will annoy those who wish to hear the unveiling ceremony. Mrp. Thompson points to the fact that at many places the barbarism that has formerly accompanied 4th of July celebrations is being prohibited fbr the protection of life, limb and property and she believes that Rensselaer should adopt the plan and especially this year when the soldiers’ monument is to be unveiled. Judge Edwin P. Hammond, of Lafayette, has been invited by Mrs. Thompson to speak at the unveiling and has accepted. He was himself a member of the 9th Indiana regiment and was promoted- to the of A Colonel and is one of the best known and most highly esteemed soldiers who went out from Jasper county to that great struggle. Many others of his old comrades will be here and they unquestionably will appreciate the “sane” fourth idea. We believe that"the suggestion is proper and timely and that the council should act on it and that' t-he regular and special police should see to it that the shooting of firecrackers* topedoes, pistols T etc., l»v.prohibited. Not part of the day, but all day, as the visitors, many pt whom will be old soldiers, their wives and widows, will fare bettter without the constant crack of exploding powder.'^-.

May’s Weather to Be Stormy Is Hick’s Guess.

V “Storm periods.” Hicks won’t let us forget them, and his forecast for May is quite as disquieting, as was the predictions for April. Just read this - : A reactionary storm period is central on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th during which days look for change to warmer, with falling barometer, cloudiness and rain, all beginning ip western sections and passing in due order eastward over the country on and touching the dates named. Brief reaction to cooler, with, rising barometer will follow closely behind these disturbances. A regular storm period is central on the 9th, extending over the 6th to 12th. Change to very cool nights, with probable frost over northerly sections will follow for several days west of storm areas in and following this period. From the 6th to the 12th, centering on the 9th is one of the most positive seismic periods of the month or year. There will be a "great strain on the earth at this time, and earthquake shocks diagonally through the earth, from the southern to the northern hemisphere, are almost certain to occur about Friday, the 6th, to Thursday, the 12th. Msi*e storms come along from the 14th to the 16th, what he calls the "rekind. Violent tornadic and electrical storms are predicted. A regular storm period covers the 18th to 22nd, central on the 20th. Low barometer, much warmer, with decided electrical storms will result about the 19th Jto 22nd. Beginning the 19th,'there will be tornadic storms which will continue up to, and reach another seismic crisis from the 21st to the 26th, central on the 24th, at the moon’s eclipse. A reactionary storm period is central on the 25th, 26th and 27th. Falling barometer and storms will, appear promptly and pass frpm west to east over the country during these days, followed by cooler weather. The month ends as we enter a regular storm period. '

More Aid From Away Foy The Milroy Soldiers' Monument Fund.

Enclosing a check for ss*oo, T 3. L. Coen, Ist Vico President and Cashier of the Erie County Banking Co., of Vermillion, Ohio, and an old Jasper county boy and graduate of the Rensselaer high school, writes: “I take pleasure in enclosing my check for $6.00 as a contribution to the Milroy Monument Fund as the project appeals me as being worthy in every respect. When, in addition to the erection of of -the proposed monument, Milroy park itself has been improved* and beautified, the whole will constitute a fitting memorial to General Milroy and other Jasper county veterans.” Mrs. Eva Morgan, widow of James Morgan, and until recently a resident of Rensselaer, writes to Mrs. Thompson from Chicago as follows: “Enclosed please find_ check for one dollar ($1.00) for the Milroy Monument fund. May success crown your efforts.” Mrs. Nathan Eldridge, of Barkley, township, has contributed SI.OO for the Milroy Soldiers’ Monument. Cyrus A. Ball, of Francesville, a member of the 87th Indiana, sent a dollar by E. L. Clark for the monument fund. Today contributions were received by mail from the following former residents of Jasper county. N. V. Snodgrass, of Gretna, Neb., who requests that the name of Guilford D. Snodgrass, who died at Battle Ground, be placed on the monument. W. G. Paxton, of Hammond; Frank Morlan, of Williston, N. Dak; Harve Robinson of Sentinel Butte, N. Dak., Ad Robinson, 3f lola, Kansas, and Ella I. Morris, of Chicago, each send $5.00.

Hayworth, a highly respected old veteran and citizen, formerly of Francesville, died at the State Soldiers’ Home at Lafayette, Thursday morning at 4:46 from cerebral hemorrhage.

He was borp in Dark county, Ohio, on Dec. 11, 1835 and served in the Civil war as a member of company G, 155th Infantry.
