Compromises With Auto Owner For Child That Burned to Death.

Readers of The Republican will remember the frightful accident that resulted in the-burning to death of the* 2-year-old child of Mrs. Frye, near Kentland, several months ago and of the rumors surrounding the night auto ride that resulted in thp death of the little girl and the destruction of the auto. It was reported that Mrs. Frye was using Egan as a friend in making a hasty exit from Goodland, and it seems queer that his responsibility could have been such as to make him liable notwithstanding the intoxicated condition he was in, but George W. Kassabaum and A. K. Sills, Jr., two young lawyers of MonticeUo,. took up her case in behalf of her husband and effected a settlement according to the following article from the MonticeUo Democrat: Attorneys G- W. Kassabaum and A. K. Sills, Jr., went to Kentland Monday and effected settlement in the case of Thomas J. Frye vs. William J. Eagan for damages for the death of little Dorothy Frye, the two-year-old daughter of the plaintiff. The case grew out of an accident which occurred last August, when Eagan met Mrs. Frye and her two children in Goodland one night and started to take them to Kentland in an automobile. On the way the automobile was run off the road and upset in a ditch and burned up. Eagan, the woman and one child escaped unhurt, but the baby was burned to death. Eagan claimed that the accident was unavoidable, but persons who saw them start assert that he was drunk. » The settlement effected was very satisfactory to the plaintiff- and his attorneys.

Concert by High School Pleased Audience Thursday Night.

i The concert given by the high school at the'Christian church Thursday night proved to be one of the very best ever given by the Rensselaer high school and was a distinct compliment to the ability of Miss Erica Troll, the music and drawing teacher, whose work has been so entirely satisfactory here that she is pronounced by many the best instructor in those branches the city has ever had. The program was divided into two parts. The first included a piano trio by Aileen Allman, Florence Allman and Mrs. M. D. Gwin. A male quartette composed of Cope Hanley, Clarence Smith, Tom Padgitt and Don Beam sang “Oh! Brightly Shines the Village Forge,” “Hark! Hark! The Lark,” and “Stars of the Summer Night.” The young men are possessed of good voices and their singing was well received. Martha Long gave a piano solo, as also did Elizabeth Spitler. Emily Thompson sang .“Last Night.” The second part of the concert was a cantata for ladies’ voices entitled “A Garden of Flowers.” Rosabel Daugherty was the piano accompanist. It opened with a chorus and the voices of the girls seem to have been very much strengthened and Improved since- their last public appearance. Lura Halleck and Katherine Watson Bang a duet very pleasingly and Martha Long, Gladys Pierce and Marjorie Loughridge sang a trio that made a hit with the audience. This was followed by solos by Marjorie Laughridge and Lura Halleck and Esther Padgitt. A quartette sang the good night song entitled “The Weary Flowers Have Gone to Rest.” Those comprising the quartette were Gladys Pierce, Ryth Harper,-Maurine Tuteur and Elizabeth Spitler. The chorus closed the program with a song entitled “The Garden of Flowers So Fair.” Last year the entertainment was free and was largely attended. This year an admission of 10 cents was charged to defray the expenses ana the audience was much smaller. So enthusiastic are the words of praise abont the entertainment, however, that is is probable a repetition of the concert would draw a much larger crowd.

BEST SPELLER CHOSEN AFTER LONG CONTEST.

Ardella Rose Sail), 14 Years Old, Successful 1b Contest Held in Indianapolis Thursday. One of the most, interesting and which should also be one of the most beneficial contests ever introduced into the schools of Indiana, was concluded in Indianapolis Thursday when 37 contestants selected at the various district spelling matches met there in an old fashioned spelling bee. .It was a great misfortune that Jasper cotrnty did not take part hi the preliminary contest which might have resulted in some boy or girl from this county getting into the state contest. Jasper and Warren were the only counties in this district that did not follow the suggestion providing for the contest. . The match in Indianapolis was held in the bouse chamber in the capitol, where the contestants were lined Up for the long contest which took place in the presence of a large audience. The contest started at 2:20 o’clock, and lasted until 5:30. The winner was Ardella Rose Salb, of JaapeY, Ind., 14. years of age; Naomi Frank, of Greenfield, was second, and Levin Litzenberger, of Middletown, was third.

The contest was conducted by Miss Georgia Alexander, of the Indianapolis public schools, who was assisted by J. Walter Dunn, state manager of the Indiana Reading Circle, and two or three others. It was twenty minutes before the first speller went down, and the pronouncers found it necessary to use' the hardest words. Such little-used words as “succulent,” “eligible,” “imposter,” “analogous,” “beseech,” “chrysalids,” “mademoiselle,” “jaunty,” “blotches,” “perchance,” “peered,” “bouyant,” “courtier,” “equilaterals,” “assiduously,” "aliquot,” “gelid,” “trapezoid,” “feigning” and “crypt” were those on which the school children made their errors. Children from the same, county were not allowed to sit together in the line. In the long list of words was a written test of fifty words, in which but one child failed to spell all correctly. Eulila Martin made a. grade of 98 per cent in this contest, misspelling “mademoiselle.” The remainder of the children, probably twenty-five of them, spelled each of the fifty words correctly and received grades of 100 per cent. Miss Martin spelled the word on which she was sent to her seat, “madamoiselle.” All words which were given to the children to spell will be recorded and a bulletin containing them issued to teachers of the seventh and eighth grades next year for use in the schools of the state.

Dentist’s Office Robbed While He Was in Chicago.

The dental office of Dr. W. L. Myer was robbed while he was in Chicago Thursday and gold and platinum to the estimated value of SIOO was stolen. There is no clew to the Identity of the thief but it is quite certain that the thief was a professional at the .business and one that knows the value of dental metals and knows how to locate things of greatest value about a dentist’s workshop. Dr. Myer had gone to Chicago to see the exhibit of the dental manufacturers’ association and Miss Ruth Ames, who assists him in the dental office, was left In charge. She remained at the office until 20 minutes before 12 o’clock and returned'at 20 minutes before 1 o’clock. She had been working with the gold in the box where it is kept and left it on the work bench. The door between the reception room and the operating room was locked but the door from the hall to the reception room was not locked. The thief found it easy to make his entrance and selected an hour when all the occupants of the office rooms were at their dinners. The latch to the door into the operating room could be turned with any blunt instrument. The gold box was cleaned out, plate gold, solder gold, scrap gold and platinum being taken. He also went to the safe, which was unlocked and took from it two or three envelopes-with some gold fa them. Such familiarity did the thief show with the keeping place of the gold that Dr. Myer thinks It might have been some one who was acquainted with the office, possibly some one who had been a salesman at some time. The dental office of Dr. Biickenstaff at Monticello was robbed one. noon last week in practically the safne manner and about S4O worth of gold stolen. Dr. Myer lost several pieces of new work as well as the metal.

CONSIDERING ANOTHER FACTORY PROPOSITION.

Commercial Club Hears From The Committee That is Investigating ' Industry Prospect, : The Rensselaer Commercial Club directors and a few others met Thursday night and listened to a report from President Worland and Secretary Spitler, who went to Chicago and looked over the proposition which has been made for the location here of a factory to manufacture smoke consumers and stokers. The former are for the consumption of smoke from factories, railroad engines and all coal burning establishments. The Btokers are for feeding fire boxes for boilers. The men were much pleased with their investigation and were enthu siastic in their report to the other directors. The company As just forming for an extension of its business and they proved very conclusively that they are a reliable firm and have articles that are in growing demand. A more complete investigation will he made and an expert called into consultation to look into the merits of the articles manufactured. If the factory is located here it is expected to require 10 acres of ground and two buildings 30 feet wide by 140 feet long. The title to the property would remain with the commercial club until wages aggregating a large sum had been paid out.
