Of the death of John Kupke, of near Pleasant Grove, the Francesville Tribune says: “His complaint had been * diagnosed as abscess of the liver, although he had never been considered seriously ill.

C. are requested to be present at the meeting Monday night, June 6th. Business of importance. By order of the President. Lyman Zea, who had the misfortune to break his left arm last Saturday, has been able to get out some the last two or three days. He will be unable to work for a long time.

The body of Nicholas Sammons, the old man who died at the county farm Wednesday, was today shipped. to Roselawn for burial, the expense being borne by his brother.

A seven-year-old son of John Richards now has brights disease. He had the scarlet fever about a month ago and the present trouble is resultant. The glands of the neck are also badly inflamed.

Joe Grieser, the mail carrier, is reported to be quite sick, having suffered a severe attack of heart trouble which is apt to permanently injure him and perhaps make it impossible for- him to resume the carrying of the mail. \

The 11-days-©ld child of Mr. and Mrs. George Moehlman died at about 9:30 o’clock this morning. The baby had been very weak since birth. The funeral will be held at the residence on Elm street at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon and burial will be made in Mt. Calvary cemetery, south of town.

Mr. and Mrs. John P. Hunter, ot Williamsport, celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary Thursday of last week. They came to Indiana from Ohio in 1843. He had SSO and was willing to work. Today he has 2,000 acres of land and is one of the wealthiest farmers near Williamsport. He is 92 and she is 95 years of age.

Mrs. Paris Daugherty, of Ten Sleep, Wyo., who is here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George P. Daugherty called at the Republican office today and left $2 for the soldiers’ monument, $1 each for herself and her husband. She is well pleased with Wyoming and

the family is enjoying splendid health there. She will probably remain until after July 4th.

The many old soldier friends and admirers of Gen. Geo. F. McGinnis at this place, will regret he did not'recover from the prostration received in the parade at Terre Haute last week, but died at his home in Indianapolis on Sunday morning. He was a veter-* an of the Mexican and the civil wars and at his death was Indiana’s most prominent soldier.*-Francesville Tribune.

Along with the reckless automobile driving another evil bobs up in increasing practice. It is that of riding bicycles on the sidewalks. Boys are the chief offenders and they often ride at breakneck speed, endangering pedestrians and sometimes exhibiting a great deal of impudence when remonstrated with. We have never felt disposed to jump on to every person that rode on the sidewalks. Sometimes when the streets were muddy and the case urgent or when the rider had to go a long distance there seemed no particular harm to ride on the walks, provided the rider would get off and give the walk to 'pedestrians, but now the bicycle riders expect pedestrians to get out of their way and it is probable that some arrests will be made to curb the trouble. City ordinance makes it a misdemeanor to ride on the sidevalks. Thfe streets of Rensselaer are almost always in good condition and almost as smooth as the side walks arid bicycle riders have little excuse for getting on the walks.

Six Dollars to Be Given This Week For Nearest Correct List.

In the missing word contest for this week, the Republican has decided, if there is no correct list of thg missing "words—seat—in,- to—give the money., to the ones sending in the nearest correct lists. This is for this week only. In case of ties, the money will be divided equally. This week'the money is apportioned $2 to the Daily and $4 to the Semi-Weekly. In the ads published in this issue, a blank space has been left where the words are missing, and these are the only places that they are missing. A correct list of missing words is where the actual list of words is given only. Last week Miss Sayler gave all the missing words, but added one word that was not missing, which cut her out of the $3 apportioned to the Semi-Weekly last week. This w r eek, however, the money will be awarded to the nearest correct list so that it is certain to be given away. Let all send in lists.

Francesville Paper Makes Mistake About John Sullivan’s Regiment.

The appended paragraph is taken from the Francesville Tribune, which is right with the exception of the regiment to which “Uncle” John belonged. He was a member of the 15th Indiana regiment.

He served in the 9th Indiana infantry during the civil war, where he had his right leg shot off above the knee at the battle of Mission Ridge.
