Joseph Stripmeyer, 87 years of age, who lives with his daughter, Mrs. Anna Luers, south of town, suffered a stroke of paralysis Monday, his entire left side being affected. Owing to his advanced age, the chances of his recovery are very slight.

He was no better this morning, but it is thought will gradually overcome the trouble. Mrs. S. J. Sigler, of Mt.

MONUMENT UNFEELING PLANS ARE COMPLETED.

Committees In Charge of Various Work Report and All Will Be In Readiness by July 4th. While the appearance at Milroy park does not show the monument completed, Mr. Mackey, nevertheless, has the work well in hand and has promised that the stone will be in place and the figure mounted in time for the unveiling on July 4th. Not all of the names will have been engraved by that time, however, and no effort will be made to get more names on the monument than those of the 9th Indiana, which occupy three sides of the upper pedestal, before July 4th. These names total 178, which is only about one-fourth of the total number that are to be engraved on the monument as soon as Mr. Mackey and his assistants can accomplish it. The figure was shipped from Chicago Tuesday and will be set Friday or Saturday. Miss Washburn, the sculptress, wror.e a letter to Mrs. Thompson after seeing the completed statue, and states that she is well pleased in every way with the figure. Others have compared it with the work of some of the most noted sculptors in the city and praised it highly and it will be the subject of an article in the Sculptors Journal by special request from the publishers. Miss Washburn will be in Rensselaer several days before the 4th and personally supervise and direct the setting of the figure and the arrangements for the unveiling. Large flags will be draped over the figure and so tied with ribbon that at a signal little Miss Frances Knight; grand niece of General Milroy, will pull a cord and permit the flags and expose the monument to view.

There will be a large number of seats in the park, where the speaking will take place. S. E. Sparling has charge of the speakers’ stand and the decorations. D. M. Worland will take charge of the seating. Mrs. Delos Thompson reported that she would have a chorus of about forty girls. Patriotic songs will be sung. Mrs. Roberts has charge of badge committee and already has a force of girls at work putting the badges together. Other girls will sell the badges and it is thought certain that the 2,000 can be readily disposed of. They will sell for 25 cents each. As nearly as could be figured at the meeting Tuesday night the total cost of the monument will be $2,300, and committees have raised about SI,BOO. There will be a number of small incidental expenses and the committees were authorized to continue their soliciting. Should more money be received than is required for the erection of the monument, which is unlikely, it will be spent on the beautifying of the grounds. All pledges should be paid at once and those who have not contributed for the names of relatives should do so before the 4th if possible. The names are being engraved in a large Gothic letter, the best job of lettering we have ever seen and Mr. Mackey and his assistants, John Webber and Grover Mackey, are receiving many compliments on the work. The city is having the lower end of the park leveled up as much as possible and the grounds will present as favorable appearance as it is possible to give them ip the short time allowed The improvement of the park will be another great task to follow later, while the necessity of replacing the old bridge over the river at Washington street with a broad cement arch is now more apparent than ever and should not be long delayed. The monument unveiling should at tract a great crowd of itself and the plans are for the largest crowd that ever assembled in Rensselaer.

President Taft Monday sent to the senate the nominations of the following Indiana postmasters: George W. Dunan, Greenfield; Louis H. Katter, Huntingburg; Myron A.

Bad Auto Wreck at Hammond Kills One and Injures Six.

Peter Ripley, a popular young man at Hammond, lost his life in an automobile wreck Monday night and six others, five young men and one young lady, were somewhat injured. The automobile in which the seven were riding was a big Stoddard-Dayton, belonging to the Betz family. It was being driven by Irving Betz. Ripley was sitting in the seat with Betz. The young people had been over to Lake Front Park and were returning home at about 11 o’clock. Betz took up a high rate of speed as the car plied its way up Sheffield avenue. At a sharp jog in the road the auto struck a telegraph pole and Betz lost control of it. The car leaped over the street car track and into another telegraph pole and when it crashed into the third pole the big car turned over and went roiling down the embankment. Ripley had his neck broken and was pinned in the water beneath the car. The others were all more or less cut and bruised. Reckless driving was responsible for the terrible accident, which the Hammond Times describes as being one of the most shocking that ever occurred in that region. Leave your orders for fancy pineapples for Wednesday and Thursday of this week. JOHN EGER.
