Np. 39 (milk train), 5:58. No. 3, 11:05.. «>■ It will be noticed that the new trains have a very fast schedule. The north bound train leaving here at 2:53 will make only the Hammond stop and is scheduled to reach Chicago at 4:57, allowing only 2 hours and 4 minutes for the trip. The corresponding south bound train leaves Chicago at 9:25 and reaches Rensselaer 2 hours and 5 minutes later, or at 11:30. It will go to Indianapolis.

Miss Leota Muster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louie Muster, lost her watch as she was going home from the school house today and it was found by George Cox, who brought it to TTe Republican office. In the mean time an advertisement had been left by tli.i owner and the recovery was prompt and gratifying. “Uncle” James McEwen mitered the last lap of a four-score life on December 10th, when he completed his 79th year. He started to learn the printers’ trade at the age of 16 and entered the newspaper business for himself in 1855 and has been in harness continually for 55 years. He is probably the oldest active newspaper man in Indiana and it is doubtful if tnere is another publisher in the United States of his age that fills every department of the business as he does, being his own editor, business manager, foreman, printer, pressman, office boy and devil. The' Democratic-Sentinel comes out once each week and never fails to define what a real democrat is, and having been one from birth, “Uncle Mac” thinks he ought to know, but some of the modern stunts of democracy have been about all he could stand for.
