C. Kelner, the lce Man More Troubles Than Job.

C. Kellner, the ice man, is considerably broken down as a result of the hard work he has been doing. A few days ago he severely sprained his left hand and has since had it bandaged up. Yesterday he found that h$ had a carbuncle on his right hand and that member went into a sling. He has been suffering from the rheumatism and walks with a limp and in general appearance he looks like a boy that had been celebrating the 4th of July in an unsane fashion. There is one thing left that Cooney can do with comfort and that is to sit down; thus far nothing has developed to prevent him from doing that. This calls to mind a story told us a few months ago by Brother Crampton, of the Carrol County CitizenTimes. An order for vaccination had been made in a town where there were a number of colored people and one old washerwoman declined to be vaccinated. Finally the health officer called upon her and told her that she must be vaccinated. She said, “Now, look a heah, doctah, I ain’t got no time tc be vaccinated I can’t be vaccinated on mah arms, caze I use mah arms to wash with every day, and I can’t be vaccinated on mah legs caze I just stand up at the wash tub from mornin’ till night.”

The doctor was puzzled and finally said, “Well, Eliza, you will have to be vaccinated anyway, and you must make arrangements for it.” To which Eliza replied, “Well doctah, if I has to I has to I suppose, and I Jus now thought ob a place, I hardiy eber sits down.”If an order for vaccination was to be made now, Cooney would be in a terrible fix, for sitting down is about the only thing he can do.

When you can’t find it elsewhere, Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store has it. Miss Mabel Nowels went to Chicago Heights this morning to visit her brother, Jesse and family. FletcherMonnett is not getting along very well and yesterday had a quite severe spell. His family is greatly alarmed about his condition. Mrs. Will A. Thompson and children returned today to Sullivan, Ind., after a three weeks’ visit with her mother, Mrs. Austin Hopkinfe and family. An ice cream social will be given at the Good Hope Christian church on Saturday evening, July 23rd. Everybody come. Ladies, please bring cake. Mrs. M. L. Hemphill arrived home several days ago from Colorado City, Colo. She did not enjoy very good health there and was feeling poorly upon her return. John Sharp came down from Chicago Heights today, called back by the very serious sickness qf his two years’ old son, John, Jr. The little fellow has had the cholera morbus and His condition now is very critical. Albert Fendig, one of Rensselaer’s young men who has been extremely successful in a business way since embarking on the sea of life, will arrive in Rensselaer .tomorrow for a visit with his brothers, Ben and Ram Albert was a delegate from the Elks lodge at Brunswick, Ga., to the national convention now in session at Detroit, Mich., and will come here from Detroit.

GAME WARDENS HID NOT CAPTURE “JIM” HAINES.

Spent Gie Night on Watch, But Did Not See Him—Learned That He is Still At His Hone. James Donley and Al Gillian, the game wardens who made an unsuccessful effort to capture James Haines, of Milroy township, whom they wished to prosecute for alleged violations of the state game law, have not yet succeeded in capturing their man. They went to the scene of their encounter with him Wednesday evening and talked with some neighbors of the man. From what they could learn Haines had gone to his home after they returned to town and had not left. It was claimed that he had some reinforcements from the neighborhood and that they had, barricaded themselves in the house and would refuse to sur-' render. Donley and Gillian do not relate what they did, but they did not go to the house. This Thursday morning they returned to Rensselaer and sought a bench warrant for the arrest of the man. Judge Hanley Was' undecided whether he was empowered to issue such a warrant in vacation of the court and the men went to Justice Irwin and procured a warrant. They will ask that the sheriff or a deputy accompany them’ to Haines* home and assist in making the arrest. The game wardens are criticised by some for having undertaken to make the arrest without a warrant in the first place, but they claim that they were acting within their power. They communicated over long distance telephone with George W. Miles, the state fish and game commissioner and were authorized to offer a reward of SSO for the arrest and delivery to the sheriff of Haines. They .state that Haines served a term in the penitentiary for the theft of cattle near Monon and think that he is now out on parole. They state that there are other serious charges against him and that his neigbors live in fear of him. It was neighbors, so we are informed, who furnished the first evidence to the wardens about Haines shipping prairie chickens out of the state and which resulted in the visit from Donley and Gillian.

Scudder Skidooed With Buick; Dr. Foxworthy Holds the Sack.

Republican readers will remember Ward R. Scudder, the president of the Hamilton Life Insurance Co., who came to Rensselaer- a year or more ago and proposed to establish his headquarters here if the people would subscribe for some stock in his company. They will also remember that Scudder did not come here, but that several Investors were slimmed and ( that finally Scudder’s company was put out of business by the auditor of state. It will also be remembered that Scudder put his automobile in hock, borrowing $250 on it from E. L. Hollingsworth. Several weeks ago he appeared in Rensselaer with a Dr. Foxworthy, of Indianapalis, and the doctor bought the machine and straightened up for the storage and the loan. The car was taken to Indianapolis and Dr. Foxworthy left it in front of his office one day, and Scudder came along with his wife and drove off with it and neither Scudder nor the car have been seen by Dr. Foxworthy since that time. Foxworthy has offered a reward for the return of the car and also for the arrest of Scudder, who after taking the car, dropped a note to the owner and told him he had taken it because he had sold It too cheap and when he found a buyer who would pay what it was worth he would pay Foxworthy what he had in it. Scudder seems to be somewhat of* a crook and Rensselaer is fortunate that he did not bring discredit to the town by locating his insurance company here.

Ten Rensselaer Rebekahs Attend

The Parr Rebekah lodge held their installation Wednesday evening and ten members of the local lodge attended it and participated in a fine banquet served at the conclusion. The local Rebekahs pronounce the Parr work very superior and all enjoyed a pleasant evening.

Insane Man Forced to Eat After Fast of Ten Days.

The insane man brought here from Kentland last Saturday evening and who has been the guest of Sheriff Shlrer since that time, was forced to take nourishment this Thursday morning, the tenth day of his fast. The unknown man was picked up near Goodland Tuesday of last week and taken to Kentland. He refused to eat and was brought here Saturday evening. Although Sheriff Shirer placed clean, fresh meals before him three times a day, he refused to partake of a single morsel of food and until the jail physician, assisted by the sheriff, Marshal Davis, Ed Duvall and B. J. Moore, bound him up this morning, ran a tube down his throat and emptied a pint of milk into his stomach, he had had no nourishment since Tuesday of last week, and no ones knows how much longer. He had not lost as much strength after his ten days’ fast, however, as would be expected, and he resisted the five men as long as he could before being overpowered. He did not speak a word but moaned pitifully during the time that the officers were handling him. Nothing has transpired to throw any light on the subject as to who the poor man is. Apparently he is about 3o years of age. His hair and mustache is black and his complexion dark. The palms of his hands are soft and he hes evidently been engaged in no manual labor. Over his right eye there is a deep depression, apparently of long standing. When asked a question, he points first to that spot, then to the left side of his face, then at his feet and then lays his right hand across his left breast. A reporter from the Republican office called at the jail Wednesday afternoon in company with several other men. The insane man occupied a swinging canvas cot in onV cf the cells. He looked up at the partv as it entered his cell, but did not move His left hand was beneath his head on the pillow and his feet were crossed He paid little attention to any one and at first apparently did not comprehend the questions put to him. But when urged to speak he went through tire peculiar motion above described Sheriff Shirer peeled an orange that had, been in the cell for several days and offered the ipan a section of it. He held his hand (n front of him and gently pushed it away. The sheriff placed it to his lips but he shut his mouth firmly and turned his head. “Why don’t you eat?” asked one of the visitors.

He raised his right finger, touched his depressed skull, then to the left side of his face, pointed to his feet and then rested his hand on his left breast. The reporter offered him his note book and pencil and asked him to write, but he simply stared into srace and was motionless.

He had not failed much and could probably have gone on for a long time without eating, as he spends most of his time on the cot and takes no exercise aside from walking a little about the enclosure about the cells. He is clean, the sheriff having seen him taking a bath and observing that his hands and face are always clean and his hair combed.

At noon today Sheriff Shirer took him r. light meal, consisting of some bread and butter and potatoes and more milk. To his surprise the man ate-them and also ate the orange which he had refused yesterday. He replied to questions by either nodding or shaking his head and showed more signs of realization than at any previous time since he was brought here. The cassis a very sad one. It is not improbable that the man has wandered away-from some insane asylum. The indentation over his eye is probably much like that of Eugene Dilley, formerly of this county, who wandered away from his home at Trafalgar and was not found for several months. An operation has apparently restored Dilley to complete consciousness again and might have the same effect on this man.

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 Mapeh 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. The Monon will run another 75c excursion to Chicago Sunday, July 17th.

Failed in Health “My mother died six years ago,” writes Miss Ruth Ward, of Jerseyville, 111., ‘ and left me to care for six children. I had never been strong; and this, with the shock of her death, was too much for me. “I failed in health. I was tired all the time and did not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. I had the headache all the time and such bearing-down pains. “A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as it had done her so much good, so I commenced to use it and now I am in good health.” «s CARDUI The Woman’s Tome Women’s pains are relieved or prevented and women’s strength is quickly restored, by Cardui, the woman’s tonic. You yourself know best if you need it, or not If you do need it, do not delay, but commence to use it at once. Every day of delay, only lets you slide further down the hill. Don’t wait, then, but begin to take Cardui today, for its use, no matter how prolonged, cannot harm you and will surely do you good. Write to: Ladies* Advisory Dept.
