RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY,-JANUARY 24, 1911.

JUDSON J. HUNT INJURED BY HIS OWN AUTOMOBILE.

Machine In Gear When He Cranked It 1 In Maxwell Salesroom and He Was Badly Braised.

Judson J. Hunt, cashier of the Trust and Savings Bank, slightly injured at about 10:30 o’clock this Tuesday morning, and will be laid up at his home for several days. He was cranking up “his automobile in the Maxwell salesroom on East Washington street, not having noticed that the machine was in gear and the brakes not set." The front of the car was only a few feet from the front of the salesroom and as it started forward Mr. Hunt was forced against the wall and his x body struck the window, breaking it out He was pinned against the wall and it looked for a moment as though he was severely injured. Fortunately he received no cuts from the broken window pane, and aside from a badly bruised left knee and a general shock, he is not much injured. He was taken to his home, whore he received medical attention. The skin about 'the knee was slightly broken and the leg was badly wrenched.

President Taft May Call Extra Session of Congress.

President Taft is said to be considering the calling of an extra session of the national congress. He is afraid that this legislature is apt to run away with its time without accomplishing anything along the lines he has recommended and he does not want this to occur. Democrats favor a special session of congress to revise the tariff and it is possible that the president might call congress together for that purpose.

Aged Newton Township Man Suffers a Broken Leg.

Barney DeWitt, 60 years of age, residing on a farm near Surrey, suffered a broken leg Monday. He was chopping wood when he slipped on the ice. The right leg was broken below the knee. As he has had a - running sore on that leg since he was 16 years of age, it is certain that the accident will go hard with him and possibly amputation will be necessary.

New Orleans Apt to Be City for Panama Exposition.

A preliminary victory was won by New Orleans over San Francisco in the fight for the Panama exposition Monday, when the house committee on industrial art and expositions decided to report favorably on the bill designating New Orleans as the exposition city and appropriating $1,000,000 for a government exposition.

Marriage License.

Jan. 23.—Ransom F. Raster, born Shelby county, Indiana, November 23, 1875, present residence Shelby county, occupation farmer, second marriage, the first being dissolved by divorce in May, 1899, and Laura Alice Jenkins, born Jasper county, February 16,1881, present residence Jasper county, father’s name George M. Snow; second marriage, the first having been dissolved by death in February, 1908.

F. M. Parker believes that Jasper county could raise a lot of good fruit if farmers and home owners would give more attention to the care of fruit trees. He has experimented considerably along this line and by careful trimming, thorough cultivation and spraying at the right time he has had some fine apples, plums, peaches, etc., from trees that otherwise would have been almost a complete failure. Barring years When the buds freeze, as was the case last year, Jasper county should raise a lot of fruit, and the failure to do the things necessary even in acknowledged fruit countries, is responsible for most of the failures here. It will not take a very long time to trim up all the fruit trees that constitute the orchards of the majority of the farms in Jasper county, and if this will be followed up by spraying during the blooming season, and if the soil will be stirred\ up about the trees it would result in the saving of thousands of dollars to this county. There are upwards of three thousand families in Jasper county, and if there was homegrown fruit, it is probable that each family would average canning and preserving 50 quarts to the family, thus making a total of 150,000 quarts of fruit, worth at least 80 cents a quart. This would mean $45,000 worth of conned fruit Add to this the amount consumed uncooked and in pies and various ways during the ripe season and the value of the Jasper county fruits would readily be SIOO,OOO. This much might be saved to the country every year by proper care of the orchards. In the absence of homegrown fruits the imported fruits are bought and the money that is paid for them goes away from Jasper county and never returns. Mr. Parker known that the care of the orchard is necessary to the raising of good fruit. He knows it because he has tried It. Every fruit tree owner In Jasper county should trim the trees, spray them and cultivate them. The result will be a happy surprise.

Fred Landis Gets Mixed In Speech at Michigan City.

It happened last fall, but is just getting into the newspapers. Fred Landis, the young brother of Charles B. Landis, who served one term in the national legislature and got out because he promised postoffices to too many people, traveled all fall with Senator Beveridge. He raved about the trusts wherever he went and particularly was he concerned about the encroachment of the railroads on the rights of the poor people. He always closed- his speech with a particularly effective peroration in which he told fyow these heartless corporations run their lines through farms, towns and graveyards —or anywhere that they choose. At Michigan City he pulled out all the tremelo stops and shouted: “And, fellow citizens, they can run their roads through those sacred cemeteries, those last resting places of the secred dead, where you, fellow citizens, and your ancestors have been buried for forty years." There is considerable rivalry between Lapqfte and Michigan City, and the former town thinks this is a great joke on Michigan City, but the News of the latter city, claims that after the speech Landis confided in several that he thought he was in Laportc when he made the speech.

There is still two months of open season left for that great German game bird, Silver Thread sauerkraut, only 5c a quart at John Eger’s.

Members of the Monon town council came to Rensselaer Sunday afternoon and inquired through City Light and Water Superintendent Chamberlin about the success of the Tungsten lights now being used for street lighting purposes at corners not supplied with arc lights. Monon is figuring along with Francesville and Medaryville on contracting for lights with a company that will put in a Joint plant for the three towns. The proposition is to supply Monon with 26 lights for S6OO a year. This looks like a big cost and is, compared to the cost of lights in Rensselaer, but, as The Republican has pointed out before, this city Is getting its lights too cheap and the private users are paying too mueh. Here this will doubtless be remedied shortly by placing all users on the meter System, which Is the only fair plan, and then evepr user will pay for Just what is consumed. It is probable that Monon and the neighboring towns will never get a more favorable lighting proposition than the one now being considered and if that town and its neighbors want electric lights they had better take up with the plan. Remington only installed Its lighting system recently and we understand that general satisfaction has resulted and that practically all homes are being supplied with lights.

For this week only our regular 16 cent imported Singapore pineapple chunks for 10c, or 2 cans of California lemon cling dessert peaches for 26c. JOHN BOER.

Obituary of James A. Gray.

James Allen Gray was born June 9, 1865, and diet January 19, 1911, at the age of 45 years, 7 months and 10 days. He was raised on the farm near Remington and followed farming until the autumn of 1901, when he was married to Stella DeWitt, of Parr, Indiana, November 27th. They then moved to a farm near Gowrie, lowa, where they remained one year, moving from there to Manson, lowa, where he engaged in the livery business with his brother Albert, continuing in that business until November 15, 1903. He then purchased a rural mail route out of Manson and had driven the route .continuously with the exception of about two weeks when he was not able to drive, and the fifteen days’ vacation allowed carriers each year, st whioh times his wife, who was his substitute,' did the driving. In the capacity of mail carrier he gave entire satisfaction and left hosts of friends on the route, and in and around Manson. The fioral offerings were presented by the post office force and other friends there. He had been ailing for the paot two months, but had continued to drive until Monday before he passed away. Some two weeks before his death his physician advised him to go to the hospital and have an operation performed, which he decided to do, and his wife accompanied him to the hospital at Fort Dodge, lowa, on January 17th. The operation was performed on the 18th and he seemed to be getting along all right and conversed with his wife during that afternoon. About 4:09 o'clock the next morning pnuemonia set in and he passed away at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon. He was baptised by the Methodist minister that morning and in answer to the minister’s question as to how he felt in regard to the future, he said, “I feel that I am saved and that all is well with me.” His wish had ever been that he might* be buried at Remington, near his old home, and his wish was gratified by his wife having him brought here for burial. * , He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife Stella, his aged mother, who Is now past 80 years of age; two brothers, Sylvester, of Rensselaer, and Jacob Albert, of Kenosha, Wis.; two sisters, Josephine Burns, of Goodland, Ind., and Alice J. Babcock, of Parr, Indiana, and his little stepdaughter Pearl, who has made her home with Allen and Stella since they were married; also many relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. churob by Rev. Charles Harper, of Rensselaer, assisted by Rev. R. H. Crowder, of Remington. Interment in the Remington cemetery.

C. A. Harris, an agent for the Home Fire Insurance Co., Just being organized in Indianapolis, Is in Rensselaer trying to Interest some business men in purchasing stock in the company. The Home Insurance company has for its president, John C. BUlheimer, former auditor of state; for vice-presi-dent, John W. Holtzman, former mayor of Indianapolis, and for secrtary, Cyrus Neal, who for fifteen years was at the bead of the Insurance department of this state. The company expects to establish its agents and to begin writing business within 60 days. Mr. Harris states that or nineteen big Insurance companies doing business in Indiana, all bat one are foreign companies, and that this state sends out as premiums more than $9,000,000 each year on fire Insurance. He had statistics to show that fire Insurance stock, where the companies are properly managed, is a big paying thing, and It is probable that he will Interest a number of stock subscribers here. A Montioello a number of leading professional and bustness men took stock, and it looks like getting In on the ground floor. A Classified Adv. will sell it.

You’ve got to kill the catarrh germs, that’s all there is to it, before you can cure catarrh. • And catarrh germs thrive, flourish and multiply in the nose and throat. Can you kill these tough and per- , sistent little health destroyers by swallowing pills or nostrum? Any physician will tell you it cannot be done. HYOMEI (pronounced High-o-me) is a germ-killing vaporised air which, when breathed either through the mouth or nose, will kill catarrh germs and soothe and heal the inflamed and mutilated membrane promptly. It gives relief in two minutes. HYOMEI is such a powerful germ destroyer that it penetrates every fold and crevice of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. A’complete outfit, which includes inhaler, a bottle of HYOMEI and simple instructions for use, costs SI.OO. Should you need a second bottle of HYOMEI the price is only 50c.
