Thomas M. Honan, attorney general, has delivered an opinion to W. E. Coover, state veterinarian, to the effect that the veterinarian can quarantine tubercular cattle when they react on the tuberculin test. This was held to ensue from the general powers of the veterinarian. Under the new veterinary law, it was held quarantine might not be resorted to except in the event of reaction on test, and the test might not be applied where the owner objected except in the event the suspected animal showed physical evidence of tuberculosis.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1911.

N. LITTLEFIELD CHOSEN STATE M. W. A. DELEGATE.

Woodmen at County Meeting Select Him—Simon Fendig Alternate— Two Candidates Adopted. /"■ * -.t*; } Modern Woodmen of America had a big time in Rensselaer Wednesday night when the county 'convention which was held in the afternoon, wound up with a big meeting at which two candidates were adopted, a banquet served and a general good time enjoyed. ' The convention was held in the afternoon and all camps in the county were represented except Tefft, the delegate from there having been unable to come, owing to sickness in his family. The meeting was organized hy the selection of Editor John R. McCullough, of Remington, as chairman, and Simon Fendig, of Wheatfleld, as secretary. Nehemlah Littlefield, a

former venerable consul of the local camp, was Selected as delegate to the state'meeting of Woodmen, which will be held in Indianapolis in June. These meetings are triennial and the convention that selected delegates are also three year affairs. Simon Fendig was selected alternate. Wheatfield extended an invitation for the next county convention, which will be in 1914, and the invitation was accepted. In the evening two candidates were initiated.. The wi>rk was done by the Rensselaer team. A good representation was here from Remington, but the drill team was unable to get together. The initiations proved very interesting and impressive. There was considerable speechmaking and the eighty or more members in attendance all had a good time. The affair was concluded by serving a lap banquet consisting of chicken sandwiches, pickles, coffee, Jce cream and cake.

At the afternoon, meeting all delegates were appointed a committee to see that a petition be circulated to secure donations for the M. W. A. sanitarium fund. Fred Arnott was made treasurer of the Jasper county fund. This Is an especially .worthy feature of this excellent fraternal and insurance order and worthy the aid of all Woodmen.

“Girl From Eagle Ranch” Was Wonderfully Short on Cash.

“The Girl From Eagle Ranch" company, which undertook to entertain the theatre goers here Tuesday night, had no license- whatever except a phenomonal lot of nerve to be doing anything else than sawing wood or washing clothes. These are honest occupations and possibly some of the thirteen people might have earned an honest livelihood by following these pursuits, but they were out of place in the show business, and from top to bottom were the worst lot of barnstormers that has hit Rensselaer in many years. Two or three of them wore broad-brimmed hats that were large enough to cover the aggregate theatrical talent of the whole thirteen, but not large enough to deceive the public, Vho looked upon them with downright pity. During the performance here two of the characters, after parading the streets all day, read their parts. At one stage of the gams one of the men was to draw a revolver but he had forgotten to take it on the Btage with him and he reached for his hip pocket threateningly and doubling up his coat tail pointed it at the villain, who accommodatingly fell dead in his tracks. He was an obedient villain. Trouble had evidently been pursuing the company for some time and it broke hard here. They could not meet their hotel expense and buy tickets to Chalmers. A distress wire “back to the old folks at home” had not been responded to. Landlord Fate let them buy their railroad tickets and then sent Jess Wilcox with them to Chalmers to collect his bill. Jess acted as general manager at Chalmers and took up tickets at the door and squared things at the box office. After Fate’s bill was paid and the opera house squared for, the company was lert with sll and their distress telegram still unanswered.

CHARGED WITH OBTAINING MONEY BY BAD CHECKS.

Fr*ak O’Donnell Said to Have Defrauded Roselawn Merchants Who Cashed His Cheeks. There was quite a little excitement at Roselawn and Wheatfield Wednesday. A young man named Frank O’Donnell, who had been working on a dredge, was charged with having cashed personal checks to the amount of $27.50 with Roselawn merchants. They were written on the Bank of Wheatfleld, and when the gentlemen communicated with that bank they are said to have been informed that O’Donnell had “no funds” therein. The merchants were J. W. Crooks, J. J. Mulder, C. M. Rice and D. J.,Frye. They at once got busy and sent a telegram to the chief of police at Bloomington, Ind., in time to intercept the young man, and he was pulled off the train and lodged in jail at that place. He was on his way to the home of his sweetheart near Paoli, where he was to have been married. He claimed to the officers that he had a deposit of S2B in4he Wheatfleld bank and that his arrest was a mistake. O’Donnell stated that his home was In Michigan and .that he had been working on a dredge near Wheatfield since last fall. -

The Republican called Alex. Jensen, cashier of the Bank of Wheatfleld, shortly before noon Thursday and was informed that the matter had been all straigtened up. O’Donnell had given 1128 to another young man to deposit for him and he had neglected to do so. He fixed the matter at once and O’Donnell was released from the Bloomington jail and presumably went on to Paoli to get married.

Writes of Differences Between Kniman and Bloomington Life.

G. R. Hanna, who lived for a number of years near Kniman, and who moved two years ago to a farm near Bloomington, sent a renewal of his subscription to The Semi-Weekly Republican under date of April 3rd. He writes: » “I have a very tender feeling for old Jasper county acquaintances whose friendship I enjoyed for twelve years. I find everything very different here. The neighbors are all thrifty but friendly. Have lots of socials and visit on Saturdays in town. You can scarcely imagine how great the difference is. I see, after living twelve years in Kniman, with a market only part of the time for our farm products, that there is an easily apparent reason why he town exceeds the country. Here we have a market for everything at a big price. The university brings from 1,500 to 2,000 the year round. We raise plenty of everything and have three square meals a day.”

WRECK NARROWLY AVERTED ON COEN HILL WEDNESDAY.

Disabled Truck Almost Wrecked Passenger and Delayed Train About Five Hours. No. 33, passenger train due here from Chicago at 1:58 p. m., had a rather narrow escape from a wreck at the 2’ miles northwest of town Wednesday. The journal of one of the tender trucks hurned off and the wheels of the truck jumped the track and plowed some five hundred feet through the railroad ties before the train was brought to a standstill. Fortunately the accident occurred on the straight track as the train was running at a lively speed. Had It occurred on a curve, a disastrous wreck might have ensued. The engine was not injured and after uncoupling from the tender it ran on to the depot and reported the trouble. The train could not be moved until another tender truck was brought over from Monon and inserted beneath the tender. This took until about 7 o’clock. In the meantime north bound passengers Nos. 38 and 6 were sent to Chicago via the Michigan City division far as Wilders and thence over the Erie tp Hammond. The milk train and northbound passenger, both due at 5:58, were delayed accordingly. A number of passengers going in each direction postponed their trip until Thursday. North bound passenger No. 32, due here at 10:05, was delayed more than 2 hours Thursday morning.

Boys, Baseball and Polities, Some Half-True Philosophy.

Valparaiso Messenger. Ask any lad who is the head of the state of Indiana. He won’t know. Ask the same lad who runs the destinies of the Cubs, and the answer is quick and responsive, Frank Chance. Why Is it that Young America knows more about the national pastime than the governments of men? Because the one is on the square and the other a sham.% And as long as politics refuses to lift its head and seek those higher places where dwell the spirits of the dawn, the pames of Chance, Mack, Clark, Jennings, etc., will be revered above any puny seryants of the people. Itching piles provoke profanity, but profanity won’t cure them. Doan’s Ointment cures itching, bleeding or protruding piles after years of suffering. At any drug store.
