Porter made a trip to McCoysburg today. It was desired to change the course of the Randle ditch a little, but Mr. Porter went there to tell those interested that once established there was no method of changing it. Can’t look well, eat well or feel well with impure blood feeding your body. Keep .the blood pure with Burdock Blood Bitters. Eat simply, take exercise, keep clean and you will have long life. C. W. Burns, who went to Calhoun county, Mich., recently, to see his sister, who had suffered a paralytic stroke, found her slightly Improved in general health, but the stroke had left her totally blind. “My child was burned terribly about the face, neck and chest., I applied Dr. Thomas* Eclectic Oil.

This is done to* accommodate Contractor John Hack, who goes down to the Randle ditch every Tuesday. It Is quite convenient to the public and a number take advantage of it Hives, eczema.

Jellycon, a delicious jelly dessert, any flavors, 10c or 3 packages for 25c, at the Home Grocery. Miss Rose Stahl, who is starring as Maggie Pepper,” will be there for an indefinite length of time, and an agent was in Rensselaer this morning advertising the show. He will go as far south as Louisville, advertising the show all along the Monon route Tom McGowan was in from Union township today. He says his wheat does 'not look very encouraging and he don’t think there will be much of' a crop. Some farmers take an opposite view and think the wheat generally looks fine. Oats are looking good, he says.

“Billy” Stewart is said to have left Parr Monday but to have returned later and to have telephoned down <o Sheriff Hoover that he will be d>wn to surrender hintself soon. It is suggested by the officers that he will save himself considerable expense if he comes down instead of an officer going after him. Born, Monday, May 7, to Mrs. R. F. Krueger, of Clyde, N. Dak., at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Whelen, of Union township, a daughter. Mr. Whelen and family live on the Tom Brusnaham farm, which he purchased last year, and their daughter came abdut two months ago to be with her parents when the baby arrived. Patrick Halligan, Jr.,' of Dunkirk, was here Sunday to visit his father, Patrick Halligan. The latter is not doing very well, and his infected toe is causing him a lot of touble. It is possible that the member will have to be amputated. His son-in-law, M. Quinlan, Is here from Florida, where he spent the winter. He said they had nothing there that we haven’t here, except a little sunshine, but we seem to have that in plenty today. Some White county young men thought that it was not necessary to pay any attention to a grand jury summons recently They stayed away and one sent an iosuiting reply to the prosecutor. The fudge sent the sheriff after them and when they appeared they were given a severe lecture and directed to appear before the grand jury the next day. The one that got “smart” was fined $5 and sent to jail over night. It is not safe to monkey with the law. “Uncle Clint” Hopkins was a caller at the Republican office Monday and found us too busy to do much visiting. He was 80 years of age on March Sth, and is able to get about some each day but says the old machine is about played out. He is quite hard of hearing and almost totally blind in one eye, but with glasses can read well with the one eye. David Nowels, wh > ,1s next to “Uncle Clint” in age, will be 90 years old on September 15th. He comes down town regularly every every Friday morning for a shave.

The citizens of ML Ayr are talking of building a creamery at that place. The same company that furnished the machinery for the Parr creamery is working the matter up. The members of the Parr company are willing to give their experience for the benefit of their neighboring town. The creamery is not being run at a profit and the stockholders are said to be now convinced that they paid double what the machinery was worth when they purchased it. The supply company also agreed not to assist in starting another creamery in the Parr terri tory if the machinery was purchased of them.

Governor Marshall Says There Are Too Many “Thou Shalt Nots.”

“There are too many ‘thou shalt nots’ in the world,’’ declared Governor Marshall of Indiana, Sunday night in Orchestra Hall in Chicago before the Sunday Evening club. “This applies not only to religious life but civil life as well. When you tell a man he shall not do a thing, that is just the thing he is going to do unless his wife has more Influence over him than most men’s wives have. “The world doesn’t need reformers. I am sick and tired of reformers who peddle cure-alls done up in attractive packages. What the world needs is the regenerative influence of the lowly Nazarine who climbed weary way to Calvary, alone, spurggd, spat upon, crushed under the weight of the cross he bore for all mankind. And this influence will banish all the misery and want and woe in the world. It is the only genuine remedy for the ills of the dreary old earth. “If you are inclined to worry about the affairs of this life don’t worry. Go to the great physician. His prescription will cure you and His prescription is ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

Mirth of Traveling Men Ended Speedily in Rensselaer.

The 10:05 train brought almost a dozen traveling men to Rensselaer Monday morning. They were in an especially lively mood on the train and just before they got off Charley Reiman, of Lafayette, tickled another knight of the grip under the ribs and he jerked around suddenly and rammed Charley in the nose with his elbow. He was bleeding profusely as he got off the train and coming just back of him was F. D. Wise, of Indianapolis. He slipped in some manner on the last step of the car and fell headlong to the depot platform. Several other traveling men picked him up. The picture beggars dlscriptlon. Reiman was tending a bleeding nose and Wise was being picked up and It looked like a fight had taken place. The men were able to ride down town in the bus and the railroad surgeon received orders to call on Wise and ascertain how severely his ankle was hurt.

Two Minutes Cure for Cold In Head Or Chest. Into a bowl three-quarters full of boiling water pour a teaspoonfull of Hyomei (pronounce it High-o-me.)

It’s a pleasant cure. You’ll enjoy breathing Hyomei. You’ll feel at once its soothing, healing and beneficial effects as it passes over the inflamed and irritated membrane. Ask B. F. Fendlg for extra bottle Hyomei inhalent. 60 cents. He guarantees it to cure catarrh, asthma, coughs and colds. Come up town this evening and hear Colonel Brown talk about birds. He will speak in front of the court house at 6:30 o’clock.

NATURE LOVER PAYS VISIT TO RENSSELAER.

CoL Isaac W, Brown, Companion of Birds, Spends Day Talking to School Children. Col. Isaac W. Brown, known the world over as the “bird and bee man,” came to Rensselaer Monday evening and today; Tuesday, he has been spending much of his time talking to the school children about the subject with which he is so deeply interested. Colonel Brown says that he has talked in every county seat in Indiana now, Rensselaer being the last’ of them. He has been trying to get to this city for eight years, but something always came up to prevent his coming. His visit will be too short. He can only impress us with some of the more important things about bird life and sow the seed of kindness and consideration for these little* creatures with the children and the young folks. Col. Brown has lived with the birds for years. He knows them by their wee voices and he knows just what important thing each was created foL He is their champion and he makes we careless and thoughtless people ashamed because we have not hitherto seen more beauty in the little creatures of the air. He called at The Republican office early this morning. He was sick during the night and had called a physician to prescribe for him. He had walked out on. the street as 4:30 o’clock and he "had visited places where the birds live. He had seen an unusual thing, a bird tragedy, and he asked the writer to accompany him to see it. He called, it a nature study. He took us to the home of Charles G. Spitler and pointed out an oriole’s nest beside which hung the lifeless mother oriole. It was a last year’s nest The mother bird had become enmeshed in a cord and being unable to free itself had died. Whether , the nest had young birds or merely eggs could not be told without investigation and the nest was high and out of reach but it told a pathetic story of bird suffering, and Colonel Brown was quick to see it and to speaK pathetically of the tragedy. He listened to the chirping birds and would say, as he touched his hand to his ear, “Sh, there's a wren,” or a robin or an oriole or a catbird. He talked to the high school.about orioles, to the higher grades about red-headed woodpeckers, and to the lower grades about catbirds. He uses neat comparisons that appeal to the •tender minds of his little listeners, and all certainly were able to gather much information, much valuable knowledge of the value of birds. He said that there are two valuable books; one is the Bible and the other is by the same author; it is tjie outdoors, the birds, the trees, the sunshine. In each room he was urged to come back and he spoke this afternoon again. At 6:30 o’clock this evening in front of the court house he will talk to all who care to see him, and if there is time before dark he will lead those who care to follow to a wood not far away and will Illustrate his talk by pointing out various birds and telling something of their habits and their usefulness. All are asked to come out to hear him. It will be worth your time and you will doubtless learn some lessons that you will never forget. Our hat comes of to Colonel Brown

Maxwell Surface Plow Looks Good to Those Who See It.

Only a very few were on hand Saturday afternoon to see J. C. Maxwell’s surface plow demonstrated. The plow looks mighty good and will evidently prove the best cultivator ever put in a corn field. In front of the surface blades are two discs, between which the corn row passes. They are so adjusted that they throw the earth up close to the <»rn row, covering up small weeds and guaranteeing protection to the roots of the corn. The surface blades then cut the weeds and pulverize the ground between the rows. Mr. Maxwell was disappointed that more farmers were not on hand to see his plow in operation.

Fair Oaks Couple Married By Squire Irwin Monday.
