Judge Hanley and son Cope, June Hinkle, Boyd Porter and Carl Wood drove over to Logansport 'yesterday in the Judge’s auto, expecting to see Ault Padgitt’s horses race. When they got there they found that the race had been postponed until today. They had a breakdown coming home and did not arrive here until about midnight. The city, under the direction of Marshal Mustard, has completed the bridges over the ditch at the west side of town 'at South and Vine streets. At the former street a new bridge was put in and the old bridge used at the Vine street crossing. Stone is being hauled for the Clark street crossing, this being the street leading to the county farm. The building of this ditch has placed the city to considerable expense in the matter of bridge building and repairs. Elmer Dwiggins and sons Raymond and Lawrence, who came from New York on the sad mission of burying the wife and mother, were in Rensselaer yesterday and left this morning for their home in New York.

Gleason was down from Keener township today and dropped in at The Republican office to renew his subscription. He raised 45 acres of wheat this year and thinks it will average about 25 bushels to the acre. He states that his best wheat was his early sowing, while his poorest was sowed about the middle of October. He does not take any stock in the bulletin from the Purdue Agricultural experiment station which advocated late sowing to avoid the fly pest. He states that when the fly gets started in a field that it will be there year after year until the farmer quits sowing wheat or until some new means is discovered for disposing of it Mr. Gleason does not believe in selling wheat for 75 cents a bushel and says that he is convinced that wheat will be worth a dollar before there is another crop harvested. | Very nice—Miller and Hart bacon—- ) 20c a pound at the Home Grocery.

MIDSHIPMAN BRENNER WRITES OF IRELAND.

Visits Blarney Castle; Kisses- the Famous Stone and Also Pays Visit To Lakes of Klllarney.

Jim Brenner, son of Mrs. -Carrie Brenner, will reach home the last of this month or the first of next for a thirty day vacation from his studies in the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. He has been on a summer cruise since the first of June and will come here as soon as he returns to America. Jim has written some very interesting letters to his mother since he started out on the enfise and she has kindly consented that excerpts from them he printed in The Republican. On June 22nd he wrote from Queenstown, Ireland, saying: “Everything is runiting nicely on board; we are getting plenty of liberty and enjoying a good time. Monday we had to stay on board *and stand watch while the other three sections went ashore. The watches are divided when we are in port so that we get three days’ liberty and one day’s duty out of every four. This is a great deal better than last year’s system when it was almost impossible to get a full day on shore. Tuesday we went to Cork, which is about .20 miles from here, is a typical Irish city of about 150,000 population and a very clean little place. There is not much of interest in the town except the hotels and restaurants, which are naturally great drawing cards and the larger ones are crowded all during liberty hours with hungry midshipmen. “ ‘The Bells of Shannon’ drew a large bunch of sightseers the first day and they were well repaid for their visit. The sexton was kept busy nearly all day playing the popular tunes and taking our good money, which seemed to flow from a young mint, In his mind. In the afternoon we took a trip to Blarnefy Castle and incidentally kissed the “blarney stone.” The trip out there is made in an Irish jaunting car, which resembles an American pony cart. The scenery on the way is typical of old Ireland —beautiful in the extreme. Everything is under cultivation and presents a rich green background of hills and vegetation to the faint streak of brown along the walls which border the macadam roads. The castle is probably the most noted one in the world and few people visit the continent without journeying to Ireland to visit the scene of its traditions. Blarney castle ia now a ruin and is fast falling away from its vast stone proportions of a few decades ago. The ‘blarney stone’ Is at the top of the castle and forms the top piece for the frame of a window. A large hole has been cut through the roof and large iron rods fastened against the side of the wall so that access to the stone may be had by holding on to the bars, face toward the sky and allowing two persons to let you down by holding you by the ankles. It ia a very ticklish sensation and a great many lose their nerve and do not kiss it. Paul Searles was about the most scared man I have ever seen. He tried twice before he succeeded and #hen he did he looked more like a ghost than a tourist. As you bend yoor head to kiss the stone you look down about 200 feet to the ground and the feeling that creeps over one is anything but pleasant. “The next day we took a personally conducted tour to Klllarney under the guidance of a Thomas Cook man. Everything jyas well arranged and we had a very pleasant day except for an occasional shower and chilly weather. The town Is about 60 miles from here and on arriving we Immediately went to the hotel where a lunch was awaiting us. After this we started our sightseeing trip and took a carriage to the lakes where we were transferred to boats and rowed from one end of the lake to the other. This is about a 14-mile ride and the return trip was made by carriages, which gave us an opportunity to see additional sights. It would be impossible for me to describe the beauty of these lakes and the pleasure we derived from the trip, so I shall hot even attempt it. “Today is the big day In all English ports and everything is dressed for the occasion—the coronation of the king. The Irish are not very loyal to the king on account of restrictions and taxes that are placed on them, but they all tom out for the holiday as it Is a day when they do not have to labor. Our ships are all full dressed in honor of the king and there la nothing doing on board but lay aroptnd, so most everyone is ashore. "Tomorrow we coal ship; a big day for us, you know. Eat coal dUBt like we enjoyed it; then the next day ashore and we forget all about it” This concluded Jim’s letter from Quqenstown and the next letter from which we quote was written on July Conttnaad on Page Four.

Mr. Perry and Mr. Wiltshire have been the best of friends for many years, and it was through Mr. Wiltshire’s influence that Mr. Perry became a minister.-

Both Miss Roessler and Mr, Wiltshire are well known young people of this city. Miss Roessler is a graduate of Meredith’s Business college and has for some. time been bookkeeper at the People’s Finance Co. She is a young woman of unusual charms, whose pleasing personalities have made her a favorite with many.

YOUNG MEN HATE FIGHT; ONE USES A SPADE.

Roscoe Zeigler Seriously Injures Russell Harmon in Fracas While Threshing Wednesday. In a fight that occurred at the Werner Miller farm, north of this city, at about 5:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Russell Harmon, 21 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Harmon, received serious Injuries, having been struck across the face with a spade by Roscoe Zeigler, 20 years old" son of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Zeiglejr north of town. Both young men, have been working with the Gunyon. threshing gang and according to fellow workmen the young men had engaged in a scuffle the day before. The scuffle had started in a friendly manner, so the other threshers say, but the boys were both angry before long and some blows were exchanged, and Zeigler received a black eye and a bruised nose. Testimony seems to conflict to some extent as to the exact cfliuse of Wednesday’s trouble, and Jim Downs, who was an eyewitness to the fracas, is quoted as saying that Zeigler’s assault was unprovoked. He states that Zeigler was using the spade to shovel some loose oats from his wagon when Harmon came along to go to the blower, where he was going to work and that Zeigler struck him without any exchange of words. Another version is that the fuss had been intensified by the other threshers nagging the boys op. and that Harmon was making for Zeigler when the latter used the spade.

Harmon was brought to Rensselaer by John Leach and his injuries looked after by a doctor. It was found that his nose was fractured and the bones apparently crushed quite badly. Four of his front teeth on the, lower ja,w were knocked loose and may have to come out. Apparently Zeigler had struck him with the broad side of the spade, the concave side hitting Harmon. It will require some quite good surgery to repair his nose and put it into anything like good condition, but his injuries are not expected to terminate seriously unless infection sets in After his injuries had been dressed he was taken to the home of his parents on the Jacob Wilcox farm, near Surrey, where he passed a restless night He had lost a great deal of blood and suffered considerable pain. A warrant was issued for young Zeigler and Sheriff Hoover and Constable Parks went to the house to serve it, but Roscoe had left home and it is presumed be became alarmed and fled. ,Both families are highly respected people and the affair Is very unfortunate. Both Mr. and Mrs. Zeigler are greatly worried about tne matter and Mrs. Zeigler broke down entirely when the officers appeared at her home. It Is quite certain that Harmon will recover from his injuries and it would be much better for Zeigler to come back and face the trouble than to run away from it.

Staking Out the Depot; First Building Steps Taken.

All the “Doubting Thomases" on the new depot proposition can now crawl in their holeß and pull the holes In after them.. The depot is really going v to be built. Workmen this Thursday morning staked out the building preparatory to laying the foundation and the work will be pushed rapidly, the contractor being anxious to complete it within the 90 days granted him by the contract. The platform at the old depot is in a very poor condition and it was proposed to tear up the planks, which are broken and rotted in many places, and build a cinder platform. Agent Beam wrote in to have this order changed, however, as it is almost Impossible to push a heavy truck over a cinder surface, Agent Beam said we could struggle along with the old plank platform until the new depot is completed.
