Bogs Kill Thousands of Farm Animals Each Year.

Statistics just compiled by J. L. Peets, state statistician, as a result of data collected by township assessors last year, show that during 1908, 22,552 farm animals were killed by dogs in the state, including those which died as a result of being bitten by rabid dogs. Under the state law, animals thus killed are paid for out of & special township fund provided by taxing owners of dogs, and the total sum paid during the year for the animals killed amounted to $149,213. Stray dogs and dogs permitted by their owners t 6 run over the farms of their neighbors were responsible chiefly for the great destruction of property. Of the animals killed, there were 911 dairy cows, valued at $20,893; 2,264 beef and stock cattle, valued at $23,416; 6,455 hogs, valued at $44,529; and 12,722 sheep valued at $60,371. The beef and stock cattle killed nearly equals an average June day’s receipts in the Chicago market; hogs about half of an average day’s receipts, and sheep, about double such receipts. Statistics from the same source show that on January 1, 1909, there were in the hands of the dairymen and farmers of the state 483,879 dairy cattle, valued at $13,532,650, During 1908, 421,535 cows were milked, producing 161,316,231 gallons, valued at $22,299,815. Of the amount produced, 25,200,991 gallons were sold on the market, in addition to 1,54.1,182 gallons of cream marketed. The butter produced during the year totaled 39,910,926 pounds, valued at $8,986,093. Of the amount produced 20,991,624 pounds were marketed. During the year 89,861 pounds of cheese were manufactured, valued at $20,282.

Griffith, Which Dwiggins Boys Boomed, to Change Name.

The little town of Griffith, which Elmer and Jay Dwiggins boomed some twenty years ago, and which is known at Hammond as Dwigginsville, is to have its name changed to Gary Junction and is to become the center of some real activity by Chicago real estate men, who realize the magic power of Gary and think the name will afford a fine selling opportunity. Griffith has a population of about 200 people. It is a railroad junction of about a half dozen railroads.

Insane Man Arrested Here Causing Officers Trouble.

Monticello Herald. Sheriff Price and Deputy Charles Davisson had a little experience with a crazy man Saturday evening which they do not care to repeat every day. They were about to serve supper to a prisoner named Robert Allen, who had been placed in jail Thursday and was awaiting admission to Longcliff. Sheriff Price unlocked the door to the corridor and admitted his deputy, who carried the tray containing the prisoner’s supper. To their surprise young Allen came rushing at them with uplifted arms and demoniacal yells, evidently bent on making his escape by felling his jailers. His first lunge distributed the supper and dishes in fragments on the floor, and Charlie only saved himself by jumping back through the door, which Sheriff Price held open for him. In the sheriff’s haste to close it against the madman, he caught his deputy’s arm between the door and the jamb, almost breaking it, but Charlie was well satisfied to let it go at that when he saw the key turned in the lock and the furious prisoner still secure behind the bars. Young Allen is a resident of Monon township and has only recently shown signs of derangement. He is said by those who know him to be a young man of excellent character and without any bad habits so far as known. He had formerly lived with a cousin in Kansas, for whom he worked several years. One of his first acts after he became deranged was to telegraph his cousin to “come at once—all expenses will be paid.” Without any further information but suspecting something wrong, his cousin came and with Allen’s brother, took steps to place him in an asylum. He had been at LaCrosse, but had left there and gone to Medaryville. There he had hired a livery rig and a driver and started across the country seemingly without any particular destination in view. When about four miles from Medaryville he had dismissed the rig and driver, enjoining the latter not to tell anybody of his maneuvers. He was soon overhauled and placed in jail at Rensselaer, whence he was brought here Thursday by the marshal of Wolcott in order to get him within the proper jurisdiction for admission to Longcliff. His condition continues to grow worse, and he is now quite a troublesome prisoner. Since his outbreak Saturday evening he has had to be disarmed of an iron bar which he secured by tearing up part of the fixtures in the water closet. The chances are that he will remain a charge here for some time, as word has been received that there, is no room for him in Longcliff at present.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE SO, 1910.

MILROY’S OLD TRUMPETER WILL ATTEND UNVEILING.

John Lathrop, of Delphi, Famous 9th Indiana Bugler, Will Sound the Calls of the Civil War. John Lathrop, of Delphi, probably the best known and mast able band man in northwestern Indiana, was General Robert H. Milroy’s trumpeter during the civil war, and through the general’s nephew, Harry Milroy, of Delphi, he has been asked to come to Rensselaer for the unveiling and blow the old bugle calls so familiar to the veterans of the civil war. Mr. Lathrop has been the leader of the Delphi band for many years and has had a number of fine band instruments in his* time, but the old trumpet that he used during the early sixties has been well preserved and he will bring it to Rensselaer and use it at the unveiling. Mr. Milroy writes that many Delphi people are talking of coming over to the unveiling and that a special train had been suggested. This would be a fine thing if it could be arranged and possibly it could even at this late hour. Doubtless a great throng could be secured at Delphi, Monticello and Monon. The facilities for getting here are very good, but it is impossible to get back to Monticello and Delphi except on the very late trains. It will be a fine thing to have John Lathrop with us and his bugling will be one of the best features of the unveiling. Every old soldier within 40 miles of Rensselaer should try to be here.

The tournament continues daily, afternoon and evening until July 14th.

Horse Trader Fell Under The New Gypsy Law.

Monticello Herald. ' Ab Stevenson, a horse trader from Lafayette, is languishing in the county bastile here as a result of overconfidence in his own knowledge of law. He pitched his camp on the roadside near the Moore place west of town and when requested Sunday to move on, said he "didn’t have to.” A warrant was sworn out by Chester A. Moore and the new law against camping on highways without the consent of property owners was given a try-dut before Justice Marshall. It was found to serve its purpose very well, and the horse trader was sent to jail to lay out k fine of one dollar and costs, which will require eleven days.

SUMMER HAIR DRESSING.

Ask B. F. Fendig for Parisian Sage, If You Want the Best. Almost everybody in Rensselaer knows that there is no preparation for the hair that can compare with Parisian Sage. It cures dandruff, stops falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. It puts radiance and lustre into that dull, lifeless hair that many women possess, and does it in a few days. It makes hair grow; prevents hair from turning gray and is without doubt the most refreshing and invigorating hair tonic in the world. It is daintily perfumed and is not in the least sticky or greasy. In summer, people of refinement use it regularly, because it keeps the scalp cool and free from odor of prespiration. On March 25, 1910, Lulu D. Fix, of Raphine, Va., wrote: “Parisian Sage is a wonderful hair restorer; it stopped my hair from falling out and stopped my scalp from itching; also cured the dandruff. I only used one bottle, but I like it so much I am going to use more.” Parisian Sage is sold by druggists everywhere and by B. F. Fendig for 50 cents a large bottle. Mail orders filled, charges prepaid, by American makers, Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
