James Matheson is holding his own at the Indianapolis hospital and present indications now are favorable for him recovering sufficiently to be able to return home before a great while. It seems impossible that he will ever be restored to good health but there is reason to think that his life may be spared for some time. ■ . • Dr. j. L. Masters and family, of Indianapolis, were in Rensselaer today, making a trip through this city by auto. Dr. Masters is an eye specialist and a year or more ago removed a cataract from Mrs. John Makeever’s eye. He called on Mrs. Makeever while in the city and was a welcome visitor at her home in the Makeever house. 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. Mr. Dwiggins is associated with John Paris in business in the great eastern metropolis and is making bood. His two sons are students in Ann Arbor, Mich., Raymond being a junior and Lawrence a sophomore. They are taking a literary course, which embraces a business training. Jay Dwiggins has been associated with his brother’s firm most of the time since he was in Rensselaef last year. D. D. 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.
