Mr. Pedue occupied one of the houdes and the widow of Henry Moore occupied the other. They were good two-story The barns that were burned belonged to Mrs. McAfee and Frank Wade.

County Medical Society to Be Organized in Rensselaer Today.

All the doctors of Jasper county have been asked to come to Rensselaer this Thursday afternoon in order that a county medical society may be organized., It i# probable that too Remington physicians and also Dr. Fyfe, of Wheatfleld, will be in attendance. It is likely that some step will be taken toward the foundation of a hospital in Rensselaer. Nearly SI,OOO has been turned into the state hydrophobia fund by county auditors, and it is now thought the money will be available this year. Under the law none of the fund, can be used until it reaches $2,000. Reports from several coUfity auditors to the 'effect that they had distributed their dog taxes before the law went ipto effect led to the fear that less than $2,000 would be paid in this year. When that amount is obtained the state hoard of health may begin providing means for giving the Pasteur treatment to persons infected with hydrophobia. Dr. A. R. Kresler has received a paper from Hendley, Kans., which contains a notice, of the death there on May sth, of Dr. George P. Shoemaker, whosA wife was formerly Miss Mary Johnson and a number of years ago a resident of Rensselaer and a cousin of Dr. Kresler. When Dr. Kresler was still attending medical college he went to Hendley, Neb., during his summer vacation and practiced medicine for Dr. Shoemaker during the latter’s temporary absence.' Dr. Kresler said he never knew of a man so universally loved as Dr. Shoemaker and the papers which related his death spoke of him as the community’s most beloved citizen, a friend of all and a public benefactor. He left a wife and five children and a community of sorrowing friends to mourn his death.

Gary Council Disposes of Franchise That Incenses Public.

Business men of Gary, especially .members of the Commercial club, are in arms because the city council majority, late Monday night, after a long and Stormy session, ratified a fiftyyear franchise, granting traction rights to Charles H. Geist, the Philadelphia gas magnate, and his Calumet United Railways company. Further feeling was created When it waa learned that Mayor Knotts, instead of exercising his veto, signed the franchise ordinance, and, as a result, investigations and probable impeachment proceedings are hinted at. The franchise gives Geist a fiftyyear right to use the streets of Gary. The lack of a provision for universal transfers, the permissions charge a, straight nickel fare, the use of nearly all the streets and the lack of a forfeiture clause for failure to comply with the terms of the grant are bitterly assailed. Geist does not have to begin the construction of his line until six months after he obtains franenises in all adjoining cities, and he does, not have to operate his cars until three years after that indefinite time. The Gary and interurban franchise calls for a 3-cent fare until 1913. universal transfers and gives the city a share in the profits.

Rensselaer Physician Favors Hospital For Rensselaer.

The suggestion by a contributor to The Republican that Rensselaer needs a hospital has met with favor by at ieaßt one Rensselaer physician and it is probable that they are all of the same mind. One physician has expressed himself willing to give personal aid to the foundation of a hospital and he believes the others will do the same thing. There are frequently from two to eight 6r ten persons in Chicago hospitals from the immediate vicinity of Rensselaer and the majority of them go there for -orations that Rensselaer surgeons could perform equally as well at home if they had the properly equipped operating room and surgical instruments and a quiet place where capable ,curses could' administer to the patients. In addition to the patients here it is possible that surrounding towns and country would send their patients here as soon as it was demonstrated that they could be treated here just as satisfactorily. And if cases arose where the local physicians decided it necessary to call a surgeon from the city this could bp done as cheaply as the patient could be operated on by the same surgeon in a Chicago hospital. This would not only mean a considerable saving to the patients, owing to the fact that travel expense would be avoided, but the maintainance exposes would be cheaper here and the money would go to local practitioners instead of going to Chicago. * A hospital would be a big thing for Rensselaer and would doubtless provq, self-supporting, but If It did not prove so, the law provides for a maintainance tax that would not be burdensome. . Probably large dwelling property could be procured that could be remodeled into an ideal hospital at no great cost and it cduld be equipped and furnished in a way that would be much more .attractive than the large city hospitals. The physician with whom The Republican editor talked spoke of the beautiful Simon Thompson residence. This would probably not be available but it would be ideal in respect to arrangement, location and environment. ' , .
