A barn on the Clyde Ullery farm, 2 miles north of Foresman, was destroyed by fire Monday, along with the contents, but no live stock. The amount o t the loss was not learned, but it was covered by insurance in the G. H. McLain agency. Mrs. Alva Potts accompanied Mrs. J. M.

This was their first appearance at home following the quiet wedding and hasty departure for Indiana Harbor, two weeks ago last Sunday, so the rising generation proceeded to give them a belling. Brad bought, and the kids subsided. —Knox Repubulican. A large number of Odd Fellows from Parr were in Rensselaer yesterday and it is understood that a lodge trial was begun in an effort to dispossess the lodge of the fellowship of a prominent member in that order. It is understood that the charges aS prepared proved faulty and that the defendant of the prosecution won first blood, but that it is expected to refile the charges. Although there is no fund available for crow heads and crow eggs seme claims have already been filed with the county auditor. One man brought in a half dozen heads and a boy brought in one head and 23 eggs. The auditor does not want to be troubled with these claims and it is possible that the time of the hunter will be wasted as it iB optional with the county council and the commissioners as to whether an appropriation is ever made for this purpose. On April 2nd Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Baughman, of Monon, bad been married 55 years and the event was celebrated by a surprise in which about fifty relatives and friends participated. They went to the Baughman home, while the owners were at church, and had tijeir dinner spread when they returned. They are the parents of Mrs. Carrie D. Short and Mrs. Jesse A. Snyder, of Rensselaer, and U. M. Baughman, a former resident, now living in Oklahoma City. A flock of sheep on the Thos. Conn farm, 8 miles north of Montlcello, Is believed to have hydrophobia.

The beads of three of the sheep have been sent to the st|ite laboratory. If the heads show rabies all dogs in White county wtH r be ordered quarantined. A dog pronounced mad was seen in the neighborhood of the sheep recently. Farmers, mechanics, railroaders, laborers rely on Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil.

REBELS WOK FIERCE - FIGHT NEAR BORDER.

One Thousand Rebels Repulse Superior Foree es Fedepla—Ballets Cross American Boundary. The most Important battle of the Mexican revolution was fought at Agua Prleta Monday between 1,600 Federals, under command of Lieut. Col. Diaz, and 1,000 rebels, under Balasario Garcia, and resulted in the repulse of the Federals. The battle, however, was not finally decisive. It lasted from 6:30 a. m. until sundown. At nightfall two Federal machine guns were in possession of the rebels and the Federals had sustained a lops estimated by the rebels of at least 200 killed and wounded. The rebels placed their loss at twenty. From the beginning of the battle, regardless of the warning given by the United States government 'to the leaders of both forces, a rain of bulletß poured into the American town of Douglas, Ariz., and when the day was over it was found, that seven noncombatant residents of that city had been wounded. It was a day of terror in Douglas. Dawn revealed the Federal forces formed in fan-shaped battle line, in the level country about a mile distant from Agua Prieta, with their machine guns in the center. They gave notice to the enemy o' their approach with a hail of bullets from the machine guns, supported by rifle fire. President Taft will doubtless take immediate steps to make good the demand that the fighting must be removed further from the American boundary line, it is probable the President'will ask advice from congress.

Condon Will Case Retrial To Be Argued Next Saturday.

Attorneys in the Condon will case, which was tried here at the last term of the circuit court and which resulted in the breaking of the will, will assemble here again Saturday, April 22d, and the losers will make an argument for a new trial. Don’t think that piles can’t be cured. Thousands of obstinate cases have been cured by Doan’s Ointment. 50 cents at any drug store. “Nub” Hemphill has returned from the Kankakee river, where for the past six weeks he was in charge of the camp established by Dennison, Warner and others, who spent most of the season duck hunting. The closed season for ducks began following the 15th. J. F. Warren, of Oklahoma City, has been appointed by Governor Cruce, of Oklahoma, a member of the governor’s staff, with rank of lieutenant colonel, a position o fhonor only. Governor Cruce last winter appointed Mr. Warren as one of the board of regents of the State University, he being the only republlcah upßn a board of eight members. This board, however, was later abolished by act of the legislature and the duties .turned over to the state board of education. Governor Cruce is a democrat. It is said that' all gambling at French Lick is to cease. Tom Taggart’s name has been associated with the gambling and while he disclaims any connection with the gaming, it is said that his family have Influenced him to have the gambling stopped. It is hard to see how he can stop the gambling if he has no connection with it, and it looks very improbable that i: will be atopped at all in view of the fact that the dispatches say public sentiment favors it to such an extent that the laws can not be enforced. The long scrap tor the selection by President Taft of a United States marshal for Indiana came to a close yesterday when Edward H. Schmidt, 6f Indianapolis, was given the appointment. Everything for Indianapolis is the cry of the Marlon club and they dictated the appointment Two months ago the president recommended Chairman Lee, but withdrew the recommendation when he was told that the appointment would create factional troubles. Since then sixty men have been recommended to the president and he has been in hot water up to his neck. It is a good thing to have the Job over with, even if the appointment was a blander. It would be a good thing now to give Chairman Lee something right soon; so as to get the “traps” closed. The talking is tiresome.

April 18, 1861—What Happened Fifty Years Ago Today.

It was fifty years ago this morning that company G, of the 9th Indiana, left Rensselaer for Bradford, where the town of Monon is now situated. Not all of the company went from Rensselaer, part of it was from Medaryville and surounding country and those members went to Monon on the train. Others were to join at Mbnon from. other places. The company had been recruited to its full strength before it left Rensselaer and there were several disappointed boys left behind. Among these was Timothy Comer, who is now in Rensselaer, and who joined the company at the end of the three months’ service. He says that there were about fifty left Rensselaer for Monon on April 18, 1861. The company was lined up on Washington street and Alfred Thompson and Alfred McCoy stood in front of the old McCoy ft Thompson bank and handed each boy a half dollar as they marched by. Mrs. Candice Loughridge has quite a vivid recollection of the departure of the boys. She was not up town but was over near the present residence of Mrs. G. M. Robinhon on River street when the company marched by. Milroy, who had been elected captain, was not in charge. He had gone on to Indianapolis to look after his commission as a colonel, which was given him only three days later. Edwin P. Hammond was the first lieutenant and was in command. The boys were taken to Bradford over the old Bradford road, which went southeast past the ball park. They were transported in wagons. At Monon the other members of the company came in and the company went to Indianapolis the next day. The Republican will make an effort to get some definite information about, the movements of the company following the arrival at Indianapoliis. Probably no one would be better able to supply this than Col. Edwin P. Hammond, of Lafayette, and he will be appealed to Tor assistance.

Marshal Has Sanguinary Day; Unmuzzled Dogs His Victims.

Marshal Mustard and Night Watch Critser are after the dogs. has been a busy day. The general public seems to be co-operating with the officers In the campaign to prevent an outbreak of hydrophobia. Monday afternoon a report came to the marshal that a mad dog was having fits over north of the railroad. Before the officer could reach the scene Charley Payne had used a shot gun effectually on the canine. The dog is reported to have had three fits and the impression with those that saw him was that he had rabies. He was a stray dog in the neighborhood. This Tuesday morning another dog was reported to have had fits near the residence of Jack Gilmore, also north of the railroad. Word was telephoned down town' but the marshal was out after other dogs and did not receive the word for some time. There was considerable excitement in the neighborhood and the dog, which was it stray, took off through the fields toward the northeast. The marshal started in early this Tuesday morning to make good the order of the city board of health to kill all unmuzzled dogs found running at large and before 8 o’clock one dog had been killed. Up to 2 o’clock he had killed 9 and was hot on the trail. The secretary of the city board of health supplied him with a notice to serve on several dog owners, which informed them that all dogs known to have been bitten by the Timmons dog must be muzzled or kept locked up on their own premises and that long chains that permitted the dogs to reach people along the sidewalks did not comply with the order. These people must fasten the dogs up tight or the marshal will be authorized to kill the dogs just the same as though they were loose. All dogs are taken to the city light plant after they are killed and burned in the furnace. One of the Halstead boys was in from Newton township and reported that there was Bomewhat of a mad dog scare out in his neighborhood, occasioned by a dog that got in with a bunch of sheep and bit several of them. The dog is believed to have teen mad.
