Another Victim of Speed Limit Contributes in the Sum of $4.80.

John Doe paid $4.80, which was fine and costs for exceeding the auto speed limit. John does not live in this city. John is a stranger or rather three or four i strangers. John was enroute to Chicago and stopped in Rensselaer for a short time to get gasoline. The ladies were left at the Makeever house while the men and their colored chauffer went after the gasoline. Marshal' Mustard said they were going at the rate of about 35 miles an hour. Probably they wanted to get the gasoline before it was all sold. They thought they could not have been going any faster than 8 or 12 miles an hour, but John Doe usually avoids the possibility of having his testimony contradicted by local witnesses and he took the shortest and quickest way of getting rid of the difficulty. He plead guilty, took out his weasel skin and planked down the $4.80. John always has the money to pay as he goes, even if he does go pretty fast. He went'pretty fast after he paid the fine. He moved off cautiously for about a block, looked back to see i? the marshal was on a motorcycle and seeing that he was not, John cut ’er loose and went around the Forsythe corner and headed north at a speed that made the ordinary speed violator look'like a piker. John was trying to get the worth of his $4.80. We must not take advantage of oourist autos. They should be notified by signs what the city regulation for speed is. This should be done without delay.

Popular Rensselaer Young Lady To Be Married November 17th.

Miss Lena Tuteur, daughter of Mrs. Anna Tuteur, will be married Thursday morning, Nov. 17th, to Mr. Charles Howard Park, of Oakland, Cal., where he has charge as civil engineer of the concrete construction work of the Oakland waterworks. Mr. Parks is a graduate of Purdue University, being a member of the class of 1906. He is a native of Tiffin, Ohio, hnd after spending two years as a civil engineer at Cleveland, Ohio, he went to California. Mr. Park has not visited Rensselaer since going to the west, being tied down so closely with his work. The marriage had been planned lor Dec. 20th and it had been expected to lyive a large wedding reception but :vlr. Park just learned that he could nOt well leave his work at the time planned and hasty arrangements were made to hold the wedding at this earlier date, which will preclude the plans for holding a reception on the extensive scale previously contemplated, and only the very near relatives will witness the ceremony, which will possibly be performed by Rev. R. D. Utter, a former pastor of the M. E. church.

Purdue Expert Writes About Manner of Overcoming Hessian Fly.

John E. Alter, of Union township, wrote to Prof. James Troop, of Purdue University, about the Hession fly, which seems to be doing much damage to wheat, and received the appended reply, which should prove valuable to all farmers in future wheat planting. The letter reads: “Yours of the 30th is at hand. The wheat which you enclosed is very badly infested with the Hessian fly. The life history of the fly is something like the following: The fly lays its eggs in the fall sown wheat, beginning about the first of September, if it can find wheat at that time, and continuing until September 20th to 25th. These eggs hatch and work on the wheat until cold weather when they are in the condition in which you see them at present. They pass the winter in this stage and the adult fly comes out again in the spring and lays another batch of eggs which works on the wheat until harvest time. What you should do next year would be to plow a strip around the field you wish to sow the latter part of August and sow one drill width around the field and then prepare the rest of the field for sowing and about September 25th, plow the trap strip under and sow the whole field. The flys will have practically laid all of their eggs on the strip which is plowed under.” New Flake and Cracked Hominy— UMne Grocery.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1910.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

Men Who Have Established Themselves as Good Citizens, Qualified And Trustworthy Seek Election By Your Votes. The Republican ticket in Jasper county should appeal to the voters without regard to party and we here present their names and a short statement about them. For County Treasurer. A. A. Fell, of Carpenter township, has resided in Jasper county for a long number of years. He is a good neighbor, fair and honest and has made a good name for himself wherever he is known, his closest friends being his best acquaintances and in Remington and Carpenter township he stands for the highest rank of citizenship. He has held one public office, that of township trustee. He gave the best of satisfaction. During his term of office the Parker bank, of Remington, failed, and all the township money he had on deposit was lost in the crash. He paid out of his own pocket $1785.70, more than he drew in salary for the four years he was trustee, and thinks he done his full duty. Judged by every point of fairness he should not be responsible for the money if it was deposited in good faith in a bank patronized and trusted by the people of the township and we are satisfied that the next legislature will relieve him of the responsibility and refund to him the money lost through no fault of his own. But he took the experience like a man and good citizen, mortgaged his farm and met the expenses of Carpenter township without murmer. The test to which he was put has proven him worthy of the office to which he aspires and his qualifications for handling the intricate job so ably administered now by Jeßse D. Allman, also of Carpenter township, make him a good man for county treasurer and we believe he will have a lgrge majority at this election.

For County Auditor, Joseph P. Hammond is 47 years old and was born in Jasper county. He has never held office except that of county truant officer. For a dozen years he was a school teacher, where many of the most competent men ot our country have secured their start, and from his success in this work he secured a bank clerkship and was in practical charge of the Wheatfield bank for almost eight years. From there he went to Remington and for a year managed the Remington First National Bank and when it was sold to the new Remington bank he came here and went to work in the Rensselaer First National. He is a thorough bookkeeper, which is essential in the county auditor’s office and is qualified to handle the office in every particular. Joe is a good mixer and has a broad acquaintance and has been getting over Jasper county very thoroughly and there seems every probability that he w'ill be well to the front of the ticket the votes are counted.

For County Clerk. Judson H. Perkins was born in Lenawee county, Mich., May 8, 1847, and is now in his 64th ySar. He never held a public office and never asked election or nomination to any office until last spring, when he decided to get the republican nomination for county clerk if he could. He went out over the county and saw the voters and when the convention was called he had support from all over Jasper county and he got the nomination. He has since been trying to see all the voters and let them look him over. He is a good campaigner and a mighty fine citizen. He has lived in Jasper county for 19 years. He taught school for a number of years, being the superintendent of the Gardner, 111., schools for five years. He also lived in Kentland for some time and taught school inTNewton county four years. He has been in the windmill business for 15 or 17 years and has met lots of the farmers of Jasper county and believes that he has been Bquare with every man with Whom he has engaged in business. A vote for Judson H. Perkins will be a vote for a good man deserving the support of all voters.

‘For County Sheriff. Louis P. Shirer, the present incumbent, is a candidate for a second term and is deserving of it. He came to Rensselaer after his election to the office a stranger almost, for, while Louie has many warm friends, and has lived in Jasper county since the fall of 1867, he is not inclined to force himself forward and the real good there is in him is not carried on his sleeve. He is not pedantic and the longer you know him the better you like him and his acquaintance and friendship has increased since hiß residence in Rensselaer. He is a native of Muskingdom county, Ohio, where he was born in 1855. With his father he came to Jasper county when he was 12 years old and he lived in the north part of the county until five years ago when he came to Barkley township. He served as trustee of Wbeatfleld township two terms and 6 or 7 months, having been first appointed to fill out the unexplred term of John R. Gray, who resigned. He later moved to Walker township, where his experience as trustee was called into account

and he served a term as trustee of that township. He made good in both places. He was nominated for sheriff two years ago and was elected and has served with honor. He is a good citizen and should have the support of all republicans.

For County Surveyor. W. Prank Osborne, the nominee, is just completing his first term in that important position, and during the almost two years that he has held the office he has been always on the job, devoting his time energetically and conscientiously to the work of the county. Mr. Osborne was born in Walker township, Jasper county, in 1866, and has lived here all his life. Most of the time since he was of age he has taught in the public schools, although for a period he taught in a business college in Lafayette. He was always good in mathematics and took up civil engineering because he liked the work and found his mathematical efficiency made him qualified for that line of work. For some time before his nomination he had engaged in engineering work outside oi school months. Mr. Osborne’s life is an open book. He has spent almost all of the 44 years of his life in the county where he was born and has established a citizenship that needs neither praise or apology. Asked if there was anything we might say in recommending him to the public, he replied, “No, I guess not, I have just always tried to mind my own business and worked ahead.” And the people who know Frank best know that he has done this very thing. He should be re-elected to the office he is ably conducting. For County Assessor. j John Q. Lewis is on his second term as county assessor. This office has always escaped the two term limitation, because it does not pay very much and also because when a competent assessor is secured the policy has been to keep him on the job until he wants to give it up. John was nominated by Barkley township republicans and entered upon his work with an earnest desire to administer the office with fairness to all and we are sure the taxpayers of Jasper county will agree that he has been fair and equitable all the time. John is extremely conscientious and that is a characteristic need in an assessor. H£ is punctual, always on the job and has made a study of methods of taxation that make his services valuable. He has at-

tended all sessions of the assessors held in Indianapolis and prepared himself in every way for the intelligent administration of his office. Such men deserve continuance in office. For County Coroner. Willis J. Wright is again the nominee. If the Republican , was called upon to pay some tribute to Mr. Wright as regards his official relations with the county, it would say that he has given the most exacting attention to the office of coroner with the least possible expense and trouble to the county. He has employed common sense in all coroner’s hearings. The office fits well with his work, that of undertaker. For County Commissioners. John F. Pettit is a candidate for reelection for commissioner* of the first district. He lives in Walker township and has been twice elected to the office and is a candidate for re-elec-tion. Mr. Pettit is a good citizen, a farmer and auctioneer and is known as a good neighbor, an exemplary citizen and an upright man. The commissioners of Jasper county were joiitly accused in an affidavit made by Prosecuting Attorney Longwell with having altered a public record, namely, a bid filed by the Winamac Bridge Co., by changing it from $1,240 to $1,400. They were cleared by Judge Darroch, of Kentland, a democratic special judge, ordering the foreman of the jury to bring in a finding of acquittal for the defendants. Had the change been made there would have been a steal of $l6O. The Jasper County Democrat by suggestion and inuendo made all that it could of the charge to influence taxpayers to believe that they were not being honest-

ly represented. There are always a lot of people ready to condemn any man holding a public trust and notwithstanding the fact that In open court these men were vindicated from democratic sources there has continued to ensue cries of. suspicion. We believe that most people are honest enough not to permit these efforts to influence them and that John Pettit will be voted for on his merits as a citizen, worthy of continued trust in the ofifice of commissioner. Republicans should not fall into a democratic trap, schemingly set to defame and defeat a straightforward and honest man. John Pettit should receive every republican vote. Robert S. Drake, of Hanging Grove township, is the nominee for commissioner in the second district. He is a private citizen and was prevailed upon to accept the nomination by many republicans, who recognized in him a good farmer, a capable business man, and the qualities of good citizenship that should be embodied in a county commissioner. Mr. Drake served as trustee of his home township and was one of the best.
