Distinguished Former Jasperite Contributes to the Monument Fund.

Hon. George W. Faris, the only native Jasperite that ever reached the halls of congress, to our knowledge, has contributed $lO to the monument fund. Mr. Faris represented the Terre Haute district"in congress for eight years and has since taken up his residence in Washington, D. C., where he is the vice-president of the United States Trust Co., which has a capital of one million dollars. Mr. Faris is related to the Faris families of Gillam township and a cousin of C. Pi Wright and Mrs. John W. Medicus, of Rensselaer. He was born 56 years ago just west of the city of Rensselaer. His letter Was addressed to his cousin, Mrs. Medicus, and read as follows: “I was pleased with and interested in your letter about the monument to General Milroy and would really enjoy being at its dedication. That will be impossible, however, as I sail for Europe on the eleventh and expect to celebrate the Fourth of July with other Americans in the city of Berlin. I cheerfully respond, as a native son of Jasper county, and enclose you a check for ten dollars, which plOase deliver to the proper person for the monument fund. 'I thank you for the kind words of your letter and if I can free myself from the rush and jolts of life for a little while, I hope to visit Rensselaer before long.

WATSEKA COUPLE TAKEN TO ILLINOIS PENITENTIARY.

Dr. Miller Makes Threats Against Judge and Mrs. Sayier Will Have Appeal to Supreme Court. Dr. William R. Miller and Mrs. Lucy Sayier, who were convicted at Watseka, 111., recently of the murder of John Byron Sayier, were taken from Watseka to the penitentiary Tuesday to begin their sentences. He is to serve 12 years and she 3 years. Both left protesting his innocence. On Miller’s lips ai he took the trail, was a threat against Judge Dibell, whom he accuses of deciding against, him for political reasons Just before the train arrived he asked to make a statement for publication. “I am going to serve my sentence,’’ he said. “When I get out I will go to Judge Dibell and.convince him in a little visit that I was innocent. Judge Dibell went far out of his way,' for political reasons, to convict an innocent mgn and woman. If I get out alive he will never convict another innocent man. On the stand I was excited, but I told the truth. If I had money to fight the case I would not take this trip today.” At the last moment Mrs. Sayier accepted the conditions of Pete Weast’s offer of money for an appeal to the supreme court. .The terms were that she give up her friendship for Mjller, The atorneys were directed to appeal for her alone.

Wild Man From Denison County Remembered in His Former Habitat.

The accompanying photograph on a postal card was received at the Republican office a few days ago. One side said: “This wild animal was discovered on Enemy Creek, Davison county, S. Dak, in the spring of 1909. Supposed to have escaped from somewhere in the east.”

Careful scrutiny of the picture caused us to decide that the original was none other than our old friend and former county recorder, Bruce Porter. Just the same except for the whiskers, as when he left here to try his .fortune in South Dakota. While he has permitted noture to take its course as regards his hirsute adornment, he is not a wild man, but one of the most docile and reasonable creatures that ever left Jasper county. Who would have recognized him?

Band Concerts Will Be On Thursday Evenings Hereafter.

It has been decided to hold the band concerts Thursday evenings instead of Wednesday evenings and this will be done beginning with this week. Prof. Braun did not prepare a program for publication this week, owing to the fact that he had given the boys several new pieces to learn and did not know whether or not they would be able to produce them. The concert will take place Thursday evening, weather permitting. Business Manager Don Wright has made the rounds with a paper and has received substantial pledges for the concert season, sufficient to pay the instructor, buy the uniforms, pay band room rent and probably to assist in purchase of the uniforms.

John Merritt’s Orchestra Gave Fine Music at the Princess.

John Merritt, grocery clerk at the G. E. Murray Co. store, is the leader of an orchestra that is developing considerable proficiency and should fill a long felt want, as an organization of this kind can be used at many entertainments. For some time the orchestra has been playing at the Christian church and Tuesday night made its first appearance at the Princess theatre. It is composed of John Merritt. Walter Forbes, Misses Dollie Schock, Mary and Gladys Pierce, Dean Merica, Bradford Poole, Kenneth Allman and Harry Moorehouse.

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 becoiqe our customers. / Try us on anything you like. McFarland & Sen Reliable Groeen.
