Rensselaer postal clerks are getting an extra workout this week, assisting in counting of mail, which is an annual thing with the government. The counting is entirely statistical and has nothing to do with establishing the basis of pay for carrying of the mail, which is determined by the weighing of the mails in the spring of each year.

James L. Alter, the Hoosier traveler, who was in Carpenter township seme of the past summer, is now in Kansas, or was on Nov. 14th, when he dropped us a letter with a rythmatic description of his trip. He was then at Columbus, K&ns., but as he doesn’t stay long in one place he is probably a considerable distance from there now. He is indeed a great traveler and it is doubtful if thbre is- in the United States a man who has been in more cities, towns and hamlets. He does not ride on the train and he does not' walk. He travelswith a horse and buggy and he rarely remains more than a day or two at any one place. He has but one arm. He is the author of a book or two, which have found some sale.

Cottage Built by Kokomo Man At Dunns-on-the-River

Camp Speed, named after well known Kankakee character.

Dunns-on-the-River is one of the finest summer home resorts in Indiana and its value for fishing, camping, boating and all the pleasures of summer is not excelled on the Kankakee. Mr. Dunn did a very appropriate thing when he decided to lay out a pleasure resort along his high, wellshaded and grassy bank, and the way the lots have sold is proof that people who are seeking summer homes have found many things to favor the Dunn location. The above cottage was built last spring by a man named Joy, who owns the Kokomo telephone enchange. It is a six-room summer cottage, and was the scene of so many joyous gatherings of Kokomo people the past summer that it was found necessary to establish a tent addition for the overflow. The tent may be seen in the accompanying picture, it is on a lot that belongs to the publishers of the Republican. To the east of the cottage is a store, where fresh vegetables, fresh bread, pies and

LOST HIS LEFT ARM IN FODDER SHREDDER.

Henry Hordeman Victim of Machine Which Was Working on Home Farm Thursday Afternoon. A shocking accident occurred on the Hordeman farm, just west of town, at j about 3:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon, that resulted in the amputation* of Henry Hordeman’s left arm just below the elbow. Fodder was being shredded with the Hordeman machine and the entire neighborhood almost was present and helping at the job. Henry was feeding and his brother Herman was standihg at his side. The machine became clogged and Henry undertook to remove the obstruction without having the machine stopped. His hand was not caught in/the roller but was far enough into the machine for a shredder knife to come down on it, cutting it off about half way between the wrist and the elbow, and eearing the bone and flesh frightfully. Physicians were summoned and the amputation was made almost to the elbow, just saving the joint. The shocking sight was witnessed by many of the hands who were working with the machine and there was great excitement for a little time and the sympathy of all went put to the unfortunate man. A very sad feature of the accident is the fact that when a boy Henry had another accident that deprived him of all Of the fingeis of his right hand but his thumb and little finger and now that his left hand is gone he will be in a very badly crippled condition. He was very composed after the accident Thursday, counseled with the doctors' about where the arm should be cut off and asked them to hurry and get ths operation over. Henry is 32 years of age and unmarried. He is an exemplary and industrious Young man and his misfortune will 'be , a great sorrow to ail who are acquainted with him.

—Lest you- target, we again repeat, “The Barnyard Shoe is King of all work shoes.” Try a pair of these. Sold and warranted at Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store.; 1 Robert Michael drove up in front of the Republican office this afternoon with a wagon load of corn, good, big, clean corn. He stated that he husked it in just four hours and wonders if there is another man 55 years of age in Jasper county that can beat it. There was about 50 bushels in the load. . r Paris Daugherty, of Tensleep, Wyo., arrived in Rensselaer today for a short visit with his Jasper county, relatives. He had come part way through with cattle and decided to come on the remainder of the w:-y and have a visit at his old home. Ilia wife visited here for some time during the summer.. ’ You get your sale bills whep YOU want them, when ordered at The Republican office. ■ x *

cakes are for sale daily and where everything good can be procured at reasonable prices. Still east are a number of cottages but they are off the Dunn land and are not nearly so well located. To the west of the cottage here illustrated is the Frank Slight cottage and a club house built by a company from Kokomo. It was occupied most of the summer by a lively party. There is another cottage still ; further west—a pretty good showing for the first year. Several lots have been sold, and Mr. Dunn has opened up another tier of lots in the rear pot having direct river front, but he has made a 50-foot street leading to the river and left a 30-foot street between the front and the rear lots. By the endHof the coming year there should be a dozen or fifteen or perhaps more codages on the Dunn land. If any readers of the Republican are considering the building of a home on the Kankakee they can find' no more beautiful spot than Dunns-on-the-River. * /
