The stone for the monument is being hauled today, the pedestals, which are the heaviest, having been hauled Saturday. Alltogether there was about forty tons of the stone. The erection will proceed with as little delay as possible. The Earle Reynolds house on Milroy avenue is nearly completed and will probably be finished the latter part of this week. The interior wood work is all new, being purchased of Barley, of Delphi, and is the best probably that ever came to Rensselaer. The house will be much finer than it ever was during the most palmy days of Tom McCoy. Zern Wright, who recently took a course in undertaking and embalming in Chicago and followed his graduation there by taking the state examination, has just received his license from the state board. His grades were very excellent but Zern’s modesty would not permit us to publish them, but suffice to say that the fact that the Wright family takes to the undertaking busi-ness-like a duck does to water was again proven by the rating made by Zern. He will be associated with his cousin, W. J. Wright, and qualified to perform every feature of the business. Hammond is aching for another checker game and wants Rensselaer to play them a ten-man match on June 25th. They are apt to be accommodated although probahly with a smaller number of players, as five or six of the stalwarts have so completely outclassed the lesser lights as to put them entirely out of the running. Sam Stevens, who is now running the Schwabacker grain office at Monticello, was over Saturday and Sunday, having his brother Tom, of Bloomington, 111., with him.

The jury on the famous Yarling murder trial at Tipton, had not returned a verdict yet Friday evening, and at that it seemed likely that the jury would be eut over Sunday. There are a few people In this locality who know Yarling, and all say he is a vicious man, and express a desire that he be hung. It is said that White county will build a stone road from the county line south of Albert Nitzschke’s house, to connect with the Monon stone road south of Lee and that petition has been granted. This will be a glorious good move, and then Hanging Grove should get busy and build the stretch of road between Brook Snedeker’s and the end of the proposed road in White county, thus affording a complete pike road between Rensselaer and Indianapolis. There is plenty of available rock near the road, making a very short haui either way. Charley Blue is the latest to purchase a car. He did not get a Buick, nor a Cadillac, nor an Overland or Holladay. Didn’t even buy a Brush, but his is some horseless carriage and not nearly so apt to be ditched as a lot of the well known makes. He never expects to be arrested for trying car is a lunch car, specially made for to exceed the speed limit either. The its owner by Jack Warner, and being the cleverest little kitchen we have ever seen. It is on four small wheels and can be pulled from place to place by its owner. Cars of this kind are very common in eastern cities and many of the owners have made good fortunes with them. Charley had his out for the first time Saturday night and again Sunday at the ball park. He sold out slick and . clean at the ball ■ ■ { - park. It is a nice .little business car and Charley will be found constantly in the future where there is the best chance for business.

Government Saves $675,000 in Fight with Cement Combine.

By resorting to a little commercial \ stratagem, the government ha>s now completed the cement of the Roose- ; velt Dam in the Salt River valley of \ Arizona at a cost $675,000 less on this ■ one item than was originally calcu- ■ lated. The secretary of the interior i today gave orders to the reclamation ! service to close down the big cement ' mill at the dam site, and if this mill is sold for its intrinsic value of $150,000, the sum can be added to the $675,000, the entire $820,000 proving that the use of ordinary and legitimate business methods in all ; branches of the government could ; yearly save the $300,000,000 which Senator Aldrich believes is wasted. z The cement mill at Roosevelt —85 miles from Phoenix— was erected in April, 1905, after an interesting battle of wits between the officials of the reclamation service and the Cement Trust. It has in those years turned out 337,000 barrels, at a cost of about $2.90 a barrel, at a rate of 500 barrels a day. When Chief Engineer Davis of the Roosevelt project was ready to advertise for bids on cement in 1905 he so informed the Department of the Interior. Only two firms responded, there having been a territorial distribution between the cement manufacturers, and the two who bid were allotted the entire Arizona-New Mexico district upon which to prey. No easier quarry is there usually than the United States Government, so the lower of these two bids was $9 a barrel, upon the publication of which there was protest. B. A. Fowler, head of an association of farmers in the Salt River Valley which would eventually have to repay the government the actual cost of the Roosevelt dam, caine to Washington to see if a lower price on cement could not be, obtained. The members of the Cement Trust were inflexible, however, and the government officials helpless, it seemed, until Fowler learned the value of publicity for a project which Chief Engineer Davis had thought out. This project he had communicated to Secretary Hitchcock, but that official feared the criticism which he knew would follow it. One morning Fowler had an interview in a Washington paper. He remarked that the Salt River valley was full of the material from which cement is made. He saw no reason against and a hundred reasons for the erection by the government of its own cement mill on the site of the dam. Cries of “socialism” and “paternalism” burst from the cement dealers at this suggestion, but the department was in the limelight and had to give the Fowler plan consideration. Then the cement dealers asked for another chance to bid. This time the, lower figure was $4.85. Davis and Fowler contended that the government could turn out every barrel for three dollars. At last Mr. Hitchcock yielded, and amid a storm of objections, political and otherwise, the mill was built. Six hundred Apache Indians, a remainder of Geronimo’s hand,- were hired ’ to puddle and do the bulk of the day labor. The scheme was also assailed as visionary and impossible. It was pointed out that the Apache, of all Indians in the Edda, was the most shiftless and unfit for work. Now the cement work on the dam is finished; the government has thus far saved on cement alone $675,000; the type of government is still republican and socialism has not yet become regnant. The Apaches, under Louis Hill, of Detroit, a civil engineer, have proved remarkable fit and ambitious laborers, some of them earning as much as $4 a day. There has been no trouble with them; they have been found honest and careful always to pay back what they borrow from the fiscal agent. So the reclamation service feels that it has done its part in heeding the suggestion of Senator Aldrich. Faint heart never won a dinner—for a-hobo. Our Classified Column does the work

NASAL CATARRH.

Henry L. Britton Says it is Easy to Get Bid of. “My head, nose and glands leading to my eyes and nose were stopped up and swollen, I tried several so-called 2 ■■ ■ , catarrh cutes, but Hyomei, used thoroughly did the curing. There is nothing too good to say in favor of Hyomei. It cured my nasal catarrh.” — Henry J. Britton, Frost St., Eaton Rapids, Mich. *• Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me)., cures catarrh, because it gets where the germs are, and destroys them. It is made of Australian eucalyptus, mixed with other healing antiseptics. When breathed over the irritated and inflamed membrane, it gives relief in two minutes. Used regularly for a few weeks it will build up and heal the germ infested membrane and drive out catarrh. If you own a small Hyomei pocket inhaler, you can get a bottle of Hyomei at druggists everywhere, or at B. F. Fendig’s for only 50 cents. If you do not own a Hyomei inhaler, ask for a complete outfit, the price is SI.OO. It is guaranteed to cure catarrh, coughs, colds, croup or sore throat or money back.

Oscar Stibbe worked for Fred Schultz a few days last week. Delos McClannahan is reported to be having quite a time with the measles. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Griffith, of Kriiman, visited home -folks and attended the barbecue at Parr. Everyone is pleased to see a little warm weather and sunshine come. We certainly need it, as the corn is getting along slowly. The wheat and oats do not look quite so discouraging, although it is reported that there is a small fly doing considerable damage in the wheat.
