Murbarger Again Successful la Wrestling Match With Egener.

Saturday night’s wrestling match was not very well attended and it \» apparent that the busy times on the farm are cutting the attendance and it is probable that some are tiring of the game. The match was between Sam Murbarger (Tom Coburn) and William Egener, the latter contestant being from Brazil. The-men were about the same weight, but Egener is tall, while Murbarger is short and Wocky. The match was not nearly as spectacular as some previous. ones, but seemed to be contested on its. merits. After 6 minutes and 40 seconds during which time Murbarger seemed to have the best of the match Egener became the aggressor very suddenly and with little apparent difficulty pinned Murbarger to the mat. He had a half Nelson and bar hold and also a crotch hold. It looked as though Egener was much the best man. The second fall was won by Murbarger after 23 minutes of wrestling. Egener for a time had no difficulty in breaking Murbarger’s holds and the match was quite rough for a time and Egener appealed to the referee to stop the roughness. Murbarger claimed that he was unintentionally rough. After vain attempts to procure a hold Murbarger suddenly fastened a half Nelson on Egener and forced him to the mat. He seemed powerless to break the hold and his struggling was in vain. The fall seemed to exhaust him almost completely and he was comparatively easy the third down, being thrown in 7 minutes, again with a half Nelson hold. During the progress of the last round, a challenge was read from Charles Olson, the light heavyweight champion of the world, whose home is in Indianapolis. He offered to wrestle the winner in Rensselaer. Arrangements are making for thiskaatch which will probably be held next Saturday. It will be the last match held here until fall and the reputation of Olson will probably bring out a big audience. He has made and saved more than 2100,000 by wrestling and is ranked with the best wrestlers in the world, having stood 30 minutes against Hackenschmidt only a month ago. The preliminaries last Saturdaynight were by small boys and were very good. Mike Porter evened up with Victor Fawcett for the fall two weeks ago and Roy Koepkey won from Johnny Horton in two straight falls.

Many Attended Funeral of Mrs. R. B. Harris Sunday P. M.

The funeral of Mrs. R. B. Harris was largely attended Sunday at the late residence on College avenue and only a few of the many friends who had gathered were able to find seats in the house. The service was conducted b/ Rev. G. H. Clarke, pastor of the Christian church, of which she had long been a devoted member. The floral offerings were of large numbers and very beautiful, many of the friends of the good woman remembering her in this manner. Only one of the four surviving sisters was able to attend the funeral, that being Mrs. Evaline Randle. Of the out-of-town relatives who attended the funeral were C. W. Coen, of South Bend; Delos Coen, of Chicago; Joseph Moore and sister, Mrs. Hamilton, children of Frank Moore, of Indianapolis,' whose wife was a sister of Mrs. Harris; George Brown, of Knox. Two other out-of-town friends to attend the funeral were Mrs. Dr. Sharrer, of Francesvllle, and Mrs. Philip Kasson, of Hammond. Several hundred people gathered at the cemetery to pay their last respects to the deceased, and tears dimmed the eyes of most of the large crowd of people as the last rites were administered.

Interesting Pictures Sunken Texas Sent by Emerson Coen.

The Republican is in receipt of eight photographs taken during- the time the U. S. S. New Hampshire was indulging in target practice with the old Texas for a mark. The photographs were sent by Emerson Coen, whe is one of Uncle Sam’s sailors on the New, Hampshire and are very interesting. They have been displayed in The Republican office window. Emerson had expected to remain at Norfolk, where his ship went fol-< lowing the completion of the target practice, for about three months, but now writes that they will leave Norfolk on the Ist of May, and will visit Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Attorney George H. Hershman came down from Crown today for a short visit with old friends.

Mayor Meyers Talks of His Health Seeking Visit to South.

Mayor Meyers states that is was quite cold during all the time he was at Chattanooga and consequently not so pleasant for getting around as he had hoped. He was sick when he reached Chattanooga and for a few days was scarcely able to be out of bed. He soon felt better, his appetite Improved and he began to regain strength and he came home feeling much better than he had for some time. He was surprised to see the hogs running at large through the south, especially in the cities, where they are a menace to health as well as distressing to the eye. At Nashville he ran across George Krug, who was called “Jug” when he resided in this county a number of years ago. Hh is a sergeant on the city police force. At Manchester, Tenn., where he spent a short period, there are several former Jasper county people, including Dave Shields, Ira Gay, George W. Hershman and Frank Iliff. The latter moved there this spring. All live in the country. Land about Manchester is cheap for the most part and correspondingly poor, being known as "blackjack” land. He . remained all night with Mr. Hershman one night. Mayor Meyers did not see any of the other former Jasperites, but inquired about them and learned that they are getting along fairly well. Dave Shields, who some years ago was a promising young man, filled with ambition, is said to have lost his desire to be a great man in the affairs of the nation and to be living some distance from Manchester in a little southern shack, that does not look either prepossessing or prosperous. Poor Ddve, a few years ago he was a school teacher, a democratic campaign orator and we believe one of the founders of the Jasper County Democrat. The fire of youth seem 3 to have abandoned him and he is said to be controlled by the inertia so common among the self-satisfied whites of the south and of which we have a fair sprinkling in the north. Mayor Meyers’ trip to the south wa9 entirely for a rest and he did not go there to invest in land. He investigated land values naturally and found a great variation in prices, ranging from |3 or 24 per acre for some of the poor land to 2150 per acre for good bottom land. He was much gratified at the improvement to his health. The water used in Chattanooga is supplied from pure mountain springs and is both wholesome and healthful.

Auto and Buggy Clash With Slight Injury to Occupants.

Mike Kuboske, who with his wife and two children was out automobiling Saturday evening at about 8 o’cvlock, ran into the rear of a buggy occupied by Tom Cain and his sister-in-law, Miss Emma Grieser, and a bad spill followed, that it is quite fortunate did not result seriously. Seated in the auto with Mr. and Mrs. Kuboske were their two children, a little girl aged 7 and their, son aged 3. They were both thrown out of the auto; although their parents managed to retain their seats. The little girl was somewhat bruißed. Mr. Cain and Mist Grieser were also thrown out of the buggy and the buggy was quite badly demolished, three wheels being broken. Miss Grieser fortunately escaped injury but Mr. Cain was severely sprained about the hips. Mr. Kuboske gives the following version of the accident. He was driving with only the oil lamps lighted and has just turned under an arc light on Division street by the triangular park. The lights blinded him slightly and he did not see the buggy at all until he struck It. He was running slowly. He offered to have Mr. Cain’s buggy and harness repaired and do whatever was right in the matter and Tom agreed that that was reasonable. Mr. Kuboske says he will never go out again at night without having his large lamps lighted. .

THEY ALL DEMAND IT.

Rensselaer, Like Every City and Town In the Union, Receives It. People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but do not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured thousands. Here is Rensselaer evidence to prove it: Mrs. Aaron Hickman, North Front street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago 1 first began their use and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them in the spring of 1907. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan's Kidney Pills be procured at Fendlg’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States. 1 Remember the name — Doan’s—and take no other.
