Paralysis Attacks Two Citizens And May Result Seriously.

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. At about 1:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon John Zimmerman suffered a slight paralytic stroke, affecting his right arm and right eye. He was no better this morning, but it is thought will gradually overcome the trouble. Mrs. S. J. Sigler, of Mt. Ayr, who has been in Chicago for some time, returned home yesterday, coming to Rensselaer, where her son, R. Sigler and wife, and Mr. and Mrs Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, met her in an automobile. John T. Culp went to Monon and Francesville today for a short visit with relatives. He will return before the 4th and will tell all his relatives and friends what a big time Rensselaer is planning for and probably they will all Join the throngs here that day Dr. M. M. McCord, who located at Gifford several months ago, today shipped his household goods to Loogootee, and Mrs. McCord took the 10:55 train for that place. The doctor will make the trip overland. He has decided to locate at Loogootee, not being satisfied with Gifford.

Marshal Davis and Jake Eigelsbach’s bull dog had a little mix-up this forenoon, and the marshal struck the dog on the head with a stone pick. There is said to be a mutual dislike between the marshal and his dogship, and the feud almost resulted in the canine’s undoing when he started for the officer. The dog this afternoon shows signs of recovery. D. M. Worland has arranged for still another attraction for the 4th and one that is always a good one and a sure crowd pleaser. It is a quartette of colored jubilee singers and dancers. He has arranged for a low wagon for them to stand upon and also for a piano. They are said to be a clever bunch of singers and dancers and will make the air hum with plantation melody. > A card from Tom Manley states that Rome City, where they are spending the summer, is a delightful place and that they are enjoying themselves fine there. There is splendid bathing and “the water is fine.” There are also lots of fish. Mr. Manley and his father-in-law, John Kepner, afe working on a large contract there and the families of each are remaining there during the summer. Frank Donnelly has begun the construction of a house to replace the one burned about five weeks ago on his Barkley township farm. The new house will contain six rooms and will cost about $1,500. Mr. Donnelly received $1,200 insurance on the burned house and Grd Yeoman received about $l5O for damage to his household goods. Since the fire Ord and family have been living in a large double corn crib, which was refloored, boarded up the sides and had windows and doors cut in it. It has made them a quite comfortable domicile. Your ••Want” adv. will receive prompt attention. Phone 18.
