Pioneer Methodist Minister Died Monday at Battle Ground.

G. F. MEYERS.

FRED BYRD.

Rev. Deloss N. Wood, one of the pioneer ministers of the Methodist church, died at the family cottage at Battle Ground Monday morning at 10:50 o’clock after an illness which started early last winter. In the death of Rev. Wood, the Methodist church of this state lost one of its most distinguished and loyal supporters. Rev. Wood came to Battle Ground last .June from Indiapolis to pass his last days, realizing that his condition was serious. At the time of his death, Bishop David Moore, of Cincinnati, official superintendent of the Northwest Indiana M. E. conference had called at the cottage to say farewell, and he war engaged in prayer when the end came. Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Louise Wood were also at his bedside until the last. Rev. Wood became seriously ill in April, he at that time being corresponding secretary of the Methodist Episcopal hospital for the state, of Indianapolis, with headquarters in Indianapolis, and was forced to give up his official duties, and seek complete rest. Rev. Wood was born in Warren county in 1848, and was graduated fr county in 1848, and was graduated from the theological department of DePauw University. He was married to Miss Emma Farrow, of Putnam county, and since his graduation, had been in ministerial work. Among his early appointments were charges at Shadeland, Delphi, Westfield and Plymouth. At one time he was presiding elder of the Greencastle district, holding that position for a period of six years. From Greencastle he became pastor of the Lebanon church, and then went to South Bend. From there he was appointed presiding elder of the Hammond district, serving for six years. In 1908 he was made corresponding secretary of 'the Methodist Episcopal hospital and had resided for the last two years in Indianapolis. Rev. Wood was one of the most influential and beloved workers of the Methodist church, and his death wil! be a source of regret throughout the state. The funeral was held Wednesday morning at 9:30 o’clock in the tabernacle at Battle Ground, the service being in charge of his ministerial friends. The interment will be made in the family lot at South Bend. A card from Rev. C. L. Harper states that he was chosen as one of the pall bearers and accompanied the remains to South Bend this Wednesday afternoon, passing through Rensselaer on the 3:13 train.

Course of Study the Coming Year in the Common Schools.

Robert J. Aley, state superintendent cf public instruction, has received from the state printer, the 1910-1911 outline of the course of study in the common schools of the state, including the changes planned for the fear, and announced from time to time by the superintendent and the state board of education. — r __ The outline is intended for the use of teachers, and will be distributed through county superintendents in the county institutes. As formerly announced, the chief changes in the course are found in spelling, reading in the seventh and eighth grades and geography in the fifth'grade. To the course for the year has been added a course of instruction in hygiene and care of the health of the pupil, including sanitation in the home, also a course in agriculture in the seventh and eighth grades. " Books for the supplementary study of reading in the seventh grade, are announced by Mr. Aley as follows: “Evangeline,” “The Great Stone Face,” “Enoch Arden',” “Snow Bound,” “Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” “Horatius at the Bridge,” “King of the Golden River,” “Vision of Sir Launfal,” and “The Merchant of Venice” (Lamb’s Tales.) In the eighth grade, the reading will be based on the following: “Tom Brown s School Days,” “Rab and His Friends,” “Child Rhymes,” “Oliver Twist,” “Child’s History of England,” “Captains Courageous,” “Last of the Mohicans,”* v The Spy,” “Tales From Shakespeare,” “The Making of an American,” “The Man Without a Country,” “King of the Golden River,” “Robinson Crusoe,” “Hoosier Schoolmaster,” and "Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Nice breakfast mackerel, 5 cents

New Pastor of Baptist Church Was Soldier Under Gen. Custer.

The accompanying .illustration of Rev. Joel P. Green, the new pastor of the Baptist church, was recently taken. Rev. Green is a native of the State of Maine and in his early young manhood served a five year enlistment in the regular army, being in General George A. Custer’s brigade. He was in several lively engagements with the Indians. After his discharge from the army he entered the ministry, and has

preached for the past thirty years, mostly in Michigan and Indiana. For five years he was pastor of the Baptist church at Muncie and after being away a short time he was recalled there for two years. He came to Rensselaer from Mentone, and is making good headway in organizing the church for successful work. Rev. Green is the cheerful sort of a preacher that a person likes to meet, looks on the bright side of life and is a firm believer in the gospel of sunshine.

“Mr. Pyles, Jr.,” of Colburn, Ind., Cannot be Located by Postmaster.

Lafayette Courier. -• “Mr. Pyles, Jr.,” the young man who addressed a letter-to the census bureau at Washington recently and offered, to marry any woman in the department who cared to accept his heart and hand, giving his address as “Rural Route No. 2, Colburn, Ind.,” has not yet been located. The postmaster at Colburn is still looking for him. There is a great stack of letters at the Colburn postofflce waiting for Mr. Pyles.* The letter written by Mr. Pyles caused a great flutter in the census office and some newspaper man thought it good enough to publish. It was sent out from Washington in a special dispatch and appeared in nearly every paper m Indiana, the Courier included. Even before its publication letters began to arrive at the Colburn postoffice from Washington addressed to Mr. Pyles. The publication stimulated the correspondence and the letters have been coming ever since. Some of the letters have been at Colburn so long that the return limit has expired and they haw been sent back to Washington. But as fast as one goes back a dozen new ones come to take its place. Colburn only has one rural route and that is No. 19. No Mr. Pyles, Jr., lives on that route and his name does not appear in the Colburn directory. Neither has Mr. Pyles, Jr., called for his mail or sent word to have it forwarded anywhere. All of the letters addressed to him are sealed and the Colburn postmaster is ignorant of their contents. He does not know that the mail situation is becoming serious.

Preparations for 87th Reunion To Be Begun Here Saturday.

Judge Edwin P. Hammond, of Lafayette, who was colonel of the 87th Indiana volunteers, is chairman of the committee for the annual encampment of the Regiment which will be held in Rensselaer on the 22nd and 23rd of September.

Hammond has written three or four of the regiments at Rensselaer asking that they and all other members of the regiment who can, meet him Saturday afternoon of this week to make arrangements for the forthcoming reunion. The meeting will be held after the arrival of Col. Hammond on the 3:13 train, at the post hall in the court house. Among the members of the regiment in and near Rensselaer are: D. H. Yeoman, William Hoover, Thos. Crockett, George Morgan, Chas. Platt, Whitsell Lewis, Shelby Grant, John L. Nichols, J. Q. Alter, Wallace Murray, W. H. Miller, Erastus Peacock, Marsh Rhoades, C. C. Starr, Henry Watson and C. P. Wright.

ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Thirty-five Monon ditch remonstrances of the Reidelbach law firm have been turned over to Judge Steis for personal investigation pending the individual findings. In all the eighty remonstrances of the Burßon firm and the thirty-five by the Reidelbach firm will be settled in this way. The Logansport Tribune says: “When democrats talk of economy in government, it is only necessary to remind the voters that when congress adjourned there were democratic bills yet unpassed which demanded $500,000,000 in appropriations. And these were in addition to appropriations which the democrats voted and worked for.” Sam Ralston of Lebanon seems to be booming a little on his own hook. As part of his campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1912, Sam has joined Boone county Democrats in denouncing the Democratic state platform’s stand on the liquor question. Ralston’s play to the temperance people is a little late, but it is significant. 1 L _ Woman loves a clear, rosy complexion. Burdock Blood Bitters purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores ruddy, sound health. Co-operation among the bankers of Benton county will be necessary before the overdraft evil there can be eliminated, according to W. M. Harman, cashier of the Bank of Oxford, in answer to a circular letter sent out by the auditor of state asking co-operation in decreasing the overdrafts in the state and private banks. The state and private banks of Benton county showed total overdrafts amounting to $23,000 in the report of June 30. The play of Eli and Jane has that snap and go to it that marks it as one of the plays of the day, no long tiresome waits and you are interested all the time. There is something in the play that seems to hold you in a good humor all the time and when its all over you leave the theatre feeling like the little boy who had his first stick of candy, “I want more.” Last time in Rensselaer, Saturday, Aug. 13th, Ellis Theatre. Congressman Crumpacker, District Chairman Hickey, John E. Reed and E. H. Neal took an auto trip to Remington last evening and met a number of people there. This morning they went to Kentland, where a meeting will be held today. All are very cheerful about republican prospects at the forthcoming election and say that there is only one thing in the way and that is the disposition so often shown during periods of great and general pro. 2 perity to remain away from the polls:

The general order naming the routes to be used by the militia companies of the state in concentrating for the maneuvers to be held at Fort Benjamin Harrison Sept. 1 to 10, has been issued and sent to company commanders. The local company will go by a different route from previous year’, which will avoid a transfer from the steam road to the traction road at Indianapolis. A special train will come here for the company and leave at 6:30 o’clock. At Lafayette the coach v. ill be switched to the Big Four track? anfr taken direct to Fort Harrison, thus making the trip without change. Return will be made the same way, except that the car from Monon will be attached to the regular 6:02 train. Babcock defends his own “trust” price on milk by laying stress on the quality, which, of course, is a direct slam on the quality of the 15 cent shaves. The surprising • thing about his cow claim was that he says that there is one-half pint of cream on a quart of milk; it is really remarkable that he didn’t claim (that there was a quart of cream on a half pint of milk. Babcock has shown a great tendency to regulate the conduct of meat markets, telephone companies, barber shops, anil now he is apt to undertake to direct the milk business. The egotism that abounds in his cranium qualifies him in his own opinion as a general regulator. But reverting to the subject of cows, we suggest if he really wants to get a first class cow, that gives quality and quantity and don t have to be fed clover hay and mush during green grass period, he might bring his old crumple horned beef cow down and throw in a press or something to boot and we will start him up with an animal that will make him justified in his pride. -
