LITTLE JACK LARSH WAS ALMOST KILLED.

Son of Druggist Bun Over by Auto And Suffers Fractured Skull and Jaw Last Saturday Evening. Little Jack-, son of Druggist and Mrs. Joe Larsh, and well known because of his frequency at his father’s store, was run over by an automobile last Saturday evening at about a quarter of five o’clock. The auto was being driven by Floyd Meyers, son of Mayor George F. Meyers, and as he was going very slowly no responsibility at all attaches to him. The little chap was picked up for dead, but later revived and now stands a fair chance for recovery. The circumstances as gathered by the Republican are about as follows. Meyers, with several young men, had stopped in front of Newels’ restaurant in a Maxwell auto and was just starting up when Jack, who was playing in the street, darted across in front of the machine. He had cleared it and reached the curb, and Meyers, who had observed the lad and shut off the machine, again started up. Apparently Jack changed his mind about where he wanted to go, for he turned about as soon as he reached the curb and darted with the fleetness of a lively boy right in front of the machine. The street was crowded with people and many saw the accident. Meyers shut off the car, stopping it within only a few feet of where the boy was struck. Either one or both wheels on one side of the car had passed over the little fellow’s head, however,-and Simon Leopold ran from his store to the street and gathered the boy in his arms. Apparently he was dead. He was carried to the office of a physician and signs of life were apparent and in about fifteen minutes he had regained partial consciousness. Ahasty examlnation disclosed 'that his right lower jaw was fractured and as blood was oozing from the nose and both ears the extent of the injury could not be determined. It was decided to take him to Chicago and have a thorough examination of his injuries made. Accordingly he was taken to Wesley hospital, leaving Rensselaer on the 10:05 train Sunday morning and having the boy in a berth of a sleeping car. It was found that in addition to the fracture of the jaßv bone there was also a fracture at the base of the skull. The jaw was set, but the setting of the skull fracture was postponed until he had gained strength. It was apparently not causing any immediate trouble and it is believed that he will recover unless infection should result. Mr. and Mrs. Larsh accompanied their son to the hospital and Mr. Larsh was expected to return home today, while Mrs. Larsh will remain with her son for an indefinite time. Apparently the wheels of the car had passed over the face more than the head and only an inch further back would probably have crushed the skull and produced instant death. The wheels did not pass over the body at any other place, which was also fortunate. When the accident occurred Mr. Larsh was at the drug store and Mrs. Larsh-was in Nowels’ restaurant and both were at his side in almost an instant. Jack is a well known little fellow, having been a daily visitor to his father’s store almost since he was able to walk, and, as is the case with independent and precocious children, he had been granted much liberty because of his apparent ability to take care of himself. He was almost 7 years of age and was attending his first year at school. An accident could not have fallen to a child more widely known and more generally admired than Jack Larsh, and the solicitations about his condition with which the family was plied showed the keen Interest all had in his welfare. The present prospects of his recovery will be fine news to all who knew him, as well as to all the friends of the family. Floyd Meyers, the young college student, who was driving the auto, was spending his college vacation here from Franklin. He was shocked by the accident and anxious to contribute anything possible to the recovery of the little fellow. It is a great relief to his feelings to be assured by all who witnessed the accident that he was in no manner to blame for lt<

The Revival at the Christian Church.

The revival services on Sunday were under the direction of the pastor and Mrs. Calvert, the singer. Rev. Legg having been called away to dedicate a church in the southern part of the state. He is expected to return today and preach tonight and through the week. The musical program last evening was exceptionally good. Especially impressive was the singing of “Onward Christian Soldier” by the chorus as it marched in from a rear room and filled the platform. Other special numbers were given by the chorus as well as by male and female quartettes. Mrs. Calvert's solo, “He Notes |he Sparrow’s Fall,” brought a message that will not soon be forgotten. The public generally4s Invited to be present each evening and hear Evangelist Legg's gospel sermons, and participate in the soul' stirring music.

NEW DEPOT PLANS LOOK LIKE BUSINESS.

Officials Visit Rensselaer and Discuss Preposition to Erect Fine Station Next Year.

If present plans are carried out the Monon railroad will build a fine new station here next spring, expending something like $20,000 for the station and track improvements. J. M. Caldwell, superintendent of buildings and bridges, accompanied by Engineer Anderson, were in Rensselaer Saturday under instructions from General Manager A H. Westfall, to look over the field for these improvements and have their report ready within a few days. They had with them an architect’s plans for the depot, which provided for a length of 110 feet and a width of 30 feet, provided with agent’s office, waiting room, women’s rest room, toilets, smoking room, etc., also freight house. The structure will consist of boulders and pressed brick. The rock will be used for the building as high as the lower edge of the windows and pressed brick for the remainder. It is probable that the depot will be located two blocks west of the present location, at the Forest street crossing, on the west side of the street. There is only one thlpg that may alter the plan to put the building there and that is the fact that it is near the curve, that might make the starting and stopping of trains difficult. The present depot will be removed if the plans are carried out and the room thus, gained will be utilized in sideerack extension, for which there is a crying need. While the men who were sent here were not instructed to give out any Information about the plans, the matters here set forth were secured in a reliable way by The Republican, and it is thought very probable that building operations will-begin in the early spring.

Young School Teacher Dies Of Consumption Near Rosebud.

Jesse Smith, son of J. W. Smith, of the Rosebud neighborhood in Union township, died Saturday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the home of his father. Tuberculosis was the cause of death. He is the first of ten children to die. Another child was accidently burned to death in infancy. Deceased had taught school for the past five years and was an able young man of good habits and very popular with all who were acquainted with him. He was in apparent good health until about three months ago when he was taken down and physicians advised him that the condition of his lungs made it advisable that he go to another climate, but he decided to make the fight for his life here. Gradually he sank away. The end came unexpectedly Saturday evening. He was quite weak but had asked that some supper be served to him and when it was brought in he moaned slightly and sank back on his pillow and all was over. He was 26 years, 4 months and 5 days of age. The funeral will be held at 11 o’clock this Monday morning at the Rosebud church, being cdnducted by a Conservative Dunkard minister from Delphi. Burial will be made in the Dunkard cemetery, near Alx.

Aged Lady Dies at Home Of Daughter in Cyclone.

Word reached Rensselaer this Monday morning of the death at Cyclone, Ind., of Mrs. John Clingan, who left Rensselaer only about ten days ago in company with her husband to spend the winter with their daughter, Mrs. Mary Brown. Mrs. Clingan was taken with a chill soon after reaching their destination and thus contracted a light case of pneumonia. She was recovering from this when stricken with paralysis. Another stroke soon followed and death resulted last Saturday morning between 7 and 8 o’clock. Deceased was 73 years of age. The trip to Cyclone was made largely on account of the poor health of Mr. Clingan, who is an old soldier. His wife had been in very good health. Mr. and Mrs. Clingan moved to Rensselaer about two years ago, buy-> ing the Ed Randle property at the corner of Elm and Franklin streets. Mrs. Clingan’s body was taken to Monticello for burial.

Here’s a Corn Husking Story That Will Be Hard to Beat.

Ed Ranton has a fine crop of corn this year and some fine buskers to gather It. Four hands have been bringing in about 400 bushels a day and keeping.it up. The hands are Wilbur Criswell. Fred Kruger, Ronald Schultz and Sam Hoshaw. One day recently Criswell and Kruger extended themselves a little while husking some ‘corn that was making about 60 bushels to the acre. The corn was hauled a mile and a half and weighed up by Mr. Ranton. The result follows: Criswell husked 110 .bushels in 7 hours and 45 minuted. Kruger husked 108 bushels in 7 hours and 55 minutes. Can any one beat this?

TITUS PRICE DIES AT SPITLER RESIDENCE.

Former Jasper County Boy Who Made Good as Western Lawyer, Returns To Old Home to Die. At about 10:30 o’clock Sunday morning Titus Price died at the residence of Miss Maud Spitler on North VanRensselaer street. He was surrounded by his wife, his sister, Miss Nettie, and his brother, Myrt B. Price, when dissolution occurred. Titus Price went to Yankton, S. Dak., about the year-1881, and there engaged in the practice of law. He was successful and enjoyed a large practice at which he worked with such diligence that his health broke down and he was brought here by his wife about three weeks ago, suffering from nervous prostration. He did not improve and grew gradually worse until the end came. His devoted wife never left his bedside since they came to Rensselaer and for three weeks had never left the upper boor of the Spitler home, where her sick husband lay. He was 49 years of age. He leaves no children. Miss Nettie Price, city librarian, Myrt B. Priced civil engineer, of Rensselaer, Cory Price, of Carpenter township, and Judge Clark Price, of Ashland, Kans., are brothers and sister of the deceased. His father was William Price, formerly of Carpenter township. The funeral will be held some time Wednesday at Remington, but the exact hour will not be set until after the arrival of Clark Price from Ashland, Kans., who is now on his way here.

St Joe Won Decisive Victory Over Pullman Team Sunday.

A team of husky football players from Pullman, 111., largely former students at St. Joe, came here Sunday and were defeated in a good game by the St. Joe boys. The score was 33 to 0. Rettinger starred in the game, while McCafferty, at half, Minster at tackle, Cooney at end, and Riley at quarter, all played fine ball and contributed largely to the result. Coach Kirk is getting his team in fine shape and it is probable that another year they will try to schedule a number of games with the secondary colleges and should be well to the front with any of them.

Two Young Drunks Fined For Disorderly Conduct Sunday.

* Chas. Marlin, a young man who seems to be getting into the limelight in a very unfavorable manner lately, and “Gussle” Brown were arrested’ Sunday evening at about 7 o’clock and taken to the jail, where they are said to have passed a noisy night. Marshal Mustard was just returning home from a short visit at Wabash and observed the young fellows, who seemed to be drunk and looking for trouble. He took them to jail and this Monday morning they were fined. Marlin got a $5 dose, which with costs, amounted to $10.45. It was Brown’s first offense in a local court and Squire Irwin let him down with $2 and costs, amounting to $7.20. Brown paid, but Marlin is laying it out.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE. Rensselaer People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney Disease. The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Blight’s disease, or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal. You can use no better remedy than Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here’s Rensselaer proof: J. C. Carmichael, Webster and Vine streets, Rensselaer, Ind/, says: “I suffered from lame back and sharp, shooting pains through my loins. The kidney secretions passed too frequently, especially at night and thus my rest was broken. Nothing relieved me until I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills from Fendig’s Drug Store. This preparation not only corrected the kfd■ney weakness but relieved my aches and pains_and improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of all the praise given them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.' Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other. Miss Mara W; Conover has earned a reputation in Detroit and in numerous other Michigan cities as a successful concert soprano. She has a charming voice and stage presence. In Berlin, Germany, I heard her sing at a number of musicals and she met the same success there that she has always had in her home town.—Marshall Pease, Detroit, Mich.

Mrs. Phipps-Shore will again appear at the free concert to be given by the Kreil Piano Co. at the armory Tuesday evening. You are cordially invited to hear this talented singer.
