RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1910.

SCOTT CHESNUT BOUND OVER TO CIRCUIT COURT.

Charged with Theft of Automobile Coat and Goggles from Tourist, He fs Sent to JalL Scott R. Chesnut, an automobile machinist and electrician, son of Thos. O. Chesnut, was today bound over to the circuit court in the*sum of SIOO to answer to the charge of larceny. In default of bail Chesnut was sent to Jail. George Daubner and E. P. Anderson reached Rensselaer this morning in a Halladay Glidden Press automobile and stopped at the Rensselaer garage. When they were, ready to leave at 8:30 o’clock they missed a rain coat and pair of goggles and the owner, Mr.' Daubner, started an investigation. Information which he received indicated that Chesnut had taken the property and Marshal Mustard was called into the case and Chesnut soon admitted that the property had been concealed by him at the light plant, where it was recovered. Daubner had Chesnut arrested and a preliminary hearing was had before Squire Irwin, and John Braddock and Stewart Moore testified that they saw Chesnut take the goggles from the car. Chesnut denied having taken The goggles, but said that he had picked the rain coat up from the floor and that the goggles must have been in the coat. He claimed that he told Clay Norgor, an attache of the garage, that If any one called for the coat they would find it in the tire room, but Norgor testified that he did not hear Chesnut tell him anything of the kind. Norgor, however, testified that Cbesnut was under the influence of liquor. The owner of the stolen articles testified that the coat was worth $6 and the goggles $7.50. Chesnut is an able machinist, chauffeur and electrician, but it is said that he has been going to the bad lately. Liquor and cigarettes have contributed to his downfall. It is not improbable that the prosecuting witness, Daubner, will not appear against him, when his case comes up for trial, but the experience should serve as a lesson to him.

The publishers of the Republican are indebted jo A. C. Pancoast for four large cantaloupes of fine quality and to James Torbet for a large watermelon. The oldfashioned habit of remembering the editor has charms for the modern journalist as strong as ever, and probably stronger because they are less frequent. It had been eo long, in fact, Blnce we had been thus remembered that we had begun to regard the story of the editor’s fortune as traditional.

Young Couple at Fair Oaks Stung by the Elopement Bug.

Will Cottingham, aged 19, and Miss Mildred Gundy, aged 18, went to Chicago Sunday and were married Monday. They have been close friends for a long time, but the parents of each had no thought that they would marry. When they returned home Monday evening with proof of their marriage there was considerable consternation. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Gundy and attended high school in Rensselaer year before last. The groom Is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Doric Cottingham. Their ■plans for the future are indefinite but it is probable that they will reside In Fair Oaks-. There seems to be a sort of epidemic in elopements in this part of Indiana.

The family will probably return to Chicago next week.

Miss Josie Miller, a graduate of the Rensselaer high school in the class of 1906, is teaching school at Surrey this year. Miss Miller has taken more- than a year’s work at Indiana University and has decided to study medicine, expecting .to complete the course in Rush Medical college. With the exception of Miss Florence Neal, who attended school in Rensselaer in the early nineties, and who later studied medicine, we do not know of another case of a Jasper county girl choosing the medical profession: Miss Miller is a bright student and will doubtless master the profession.

The speech by Hon. E. D. Crumpacker at Remington Tuesday night was not very largely attended, but those who heard it pronounced it a fine address. The able record of Judge Crumpaeker in the national house, the honesty with which he has treated all measures, the candor with which he has faced bis constituency and the ability he has demonstrated as a legislator has secured for him the confidence of the people, not only of the 10th congressional district, but of all the nation and he stands foremost among the men who have been mentioned as possibilities for the next speaker of the house. Judge Crumpacker should be heard by every voter in Jasper, county during the campaign.

Two Tablets and Stomach- Misery Gone.

B. F. Fendig sells and guarantees the best prescription the world has ever known for disturbed and upset stomach, gas, belching, heaviness, heartburn, acid stomach and biliousness. It is called MI-O-NA, remember the name, and it banishes distress from over eating* or fermentation of food fas five minutes. It is guaranteed by B. F. Fendig to cure indigestion, sick headache, nervousness and dizziness, or money back. No matter how long you have suffered you will find a certain cure in MI-O-NA stomach tablets. “About six weeks ago I purchased a box of MI-O-NA tablets for an aggravated form of stomach trouble. I had been troubled for four or five years, had tried different physicians and a great many patent remedies, but of no use, until I used MI-O-NA. They entirely relieved me from pain, and I can now eat most any kind of food and relish it.”—A. J. Fish, West Carthage, N. Y. MI-O-NA, stomach tablets are only 60 cents a large box at B. F.

Deputy United States Marshal Merrill E Wilson, of Indianapolis, was Monday made defendant in divorce action filed by his wife, Carrie Wilson, in the Elkhart superior court. Attorney L. W. Vail, of Goshen, who filed the petition immediately took it away, and later explained that the parties desired that there be no publicity until the cause is heard. The entry docket shows that the alleged ground for divorce is cruelty. Coroner Cecil, of Muncie, believes that before he administered the fatal dose of laudanum to himself Jesse Carpenter, who committed suicide with his aged wife, made sure that shg was beyond recovery. There were two hours and a half between the two deaths, and Carpenter must have waited until he was certain of her death before he swallowed the poison that ended his own life. Fear of poverty and the ill health of Mrs. Carpenter, which might lead to their separation, were the motives given in notes left by the two.
