Railroads Snub Old Soldiers In Regard to Rates.

Efforts to obtain a rate of 1 cent a mile eqch way for the Indiana members of the G. A. R. who intend going to the national encampment at Atlantic City in September has failed, and the veterans who will go will be compelled to pay at the rate of 3 cents a mile for the distance one way, the rate s being one and one-half fare for the round trip. Virtually all the trunk lines running east from Indianapolis were approached by the veterans for a lower rate, but all refused. Resolutions demanding that the roads grant a rate of 2 cents for the round trip, or about half the regular fare, were adopted at the state meeting in Terre Haute recently, and copies of the resolutions were sent to the traffic managers of the trunk lines. Colonel John R. Fesler, assistant ad-jutant-general of the Indiana G. A. R. has received replies from all the roads and is reporting to the various posts. The attitude of the roads is shown in the following extracts from a letter written by George R. Randolph, first vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio: "We can not agree with the expressions contained in the demand, which we believe to be based on ah erroneous conception of certain imagined rights which do not-exist. As a matter of fact, for the last two years the discriminatory rate granted prior to that time to members of the G. A. R. has not been in existence. It is an undoubted fact that the previous existence of the rate was used in arguments before various state legislatures to prove that railroad rates should be reduced to 2 cents a mile because of their willingness to concede this 1 cent a mile rate to the G. A. R. and other organizations. "The increased costs that havh'been placed upon us by state and federal legislation reducing our rates and Increasing our taxation have been of such a nature that we can not, in justice to the owners of the properties we represent, continue to extend favors to various organizations that it has been pointed out were discriminatory in character although possible not forbidden by legislative enactment. Unless present circumstances, brought about by state and federal legislation, imposing additional and very considerable burdens upon common carriers, we feel that as loyal citizens of the United States, the members of the G. A. R. should cheerfully and willingly aid us in carrying out the fullest intent of the will of the people as expressed in their legislation

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1910.

Perry Gwin Has a Very Exciting Fishing Experience.

Bringing home with them the biggest fish story of the season, John Matter, Ernest Wendt,, Robert Matter and Perry Gwin have returned from Tippecanoe Lake, where they were in camp for a few days. As a proof of the size of the fish they caught, they brought a fish head, the mouth of which easily accommodates a man’s fist. The fish was served in camp as a mess for the four nimrods. Robert Matter and Wendt were fishing from a boat in the grass a few yards from the shore when they received a strike. They realized at once that a fish of unusual size had swallowed their hook and that they would have a fight on their hands if they landed it without breaking the line. After tugging at the line for fully thirty minutes they succeeded in drawing the monster fish near their boat. Wendt was leaning from the boat to dip the fish in his net when the boat was overturned and both boys tumbled into the water with a splash. The water was over their head in depth, but fortunately both boys were good swimmers. Matter held on to the line while he fought in the water to reach the overturned boat, to which both boys clung until John Matter and Gwin came to their rescue in a second boat. The fish continued its fight and it was not until all four boys had taken turns in tugging at the line that it was finally worn out and brought close enough to permit it the be removed from the water. The fish, which was a bass, weighed about seven pounds. It was the biggest bass taken from the waters of the Tippecanoe in years. Besides hooking the big fish, the boys captured a groundhog while on their trip—Marion Daily Chronicle.

Lowell and Shelby Are to Remain Dry.

The Lowell liquor question came up before the county commissioners for decision Tuesday and after hearing the evidences and arguments of counsel for each side the case was decided in favor of the remonstrators, the commissioners finding that the legality of the petition was certain and consequently had no other recourse had they so desired. The decision makes Lowell and Eagle creek township dry for two years. A stubborn fight was waged by both sides and their arguments were heated at times.

Lafayette Boy Building A Flying Machine.

Harry Roth, the young Lafayette inventor, is making rapid progress on his flying machine, which for some time he has been working on at his repair shop on Main street. He will build all of it except the engine, and while he is not making any boasts, he hopes to turn out a machine that will be the equal of any that have been made. Some time ago Mr. Roth saw the aviation exhibition in Indianapolis and took a ride in one of the machines. While he was soaring above the clouds he was taking observations, and he is now putting bis conclusions into practical shape. He has completed the propeller, wings and several other parts, and expects to have the whole thing done in two weeks. It will be like a Wright model.—Courier.

Mentone Gazette. After serving the Baptist church at this place as pastor for two and a half years, Rev. J. P. Green has resigned to accept a work at Rensselaer, where his entire time will be taken. His resignation here, which takes effect July 24, is brought about by the inability to secure any other work to join with this to make full time service. Rev.

Between 45 and 50 members have been added to the charge during his work here. His sermons always show deep thought and careful preparation, and the people of Mentone will commend him and his go-id wife to the people of their nev field as most excellent citizens, always earnest in their work and anxious for the best interests of their charge.

Warning Against Another Pest— European Wild Onions.

D. W. Douglass, state entomologist, is preparing to issue a warning to farmers against European wild onions, which he found recently in a field near Lawrence. The onion is a weed of tha worst variety from the standpoint of damage to farm land, according to Mr. Douglass, it being almost impossible to eradicate it when once it has been started. The weed has had a start in the fields of the east, according to n report from the United States department of agriculture, and in some communities, especially in Maryland, farmers have been compelled to forego pasturing their cattle, since the weed not only makes the milk unfit for consumption, but taints the flesh of the animal, as well, rendering it unfit for butchering. # The weed is thought to have been imported by immigrants several yearn ago and to have spread gradually from the east. It resembles very much in appearance the native wild onion, except that the tops grow taller and stronger. It propagates itself by means of seeds, which, grow in a thick cluster at the top, and by bulbs, which form about the main bulb of the parent plant. Ordinary cultivation, as shown by experiments by the United States department of agriculture, will not prevent the growth of the weed. “The only way to stop it when it grtna a start,” said Mr. Douglass, “is to abandon the field for a year or two for crop purposes, and to fight the weed mercilessly with plows, harrows, fire and the like.” - 1~ < ■ f i ■ >■ ■
