The weatherman has forcasted rain for several days and clouds and "thunder each evening have indicated showers, but Rensselaer and vicinity has had none for a week and then a very inadequate one. Other nearby towns report beneficial showers. We need a good all-day soaker for best results to corn and pastures. Dan Lesh writes fros Menominee, Wis., that they have had a good year there, with sufficient rain. Their grain was of a good quality and lots of it They are well satisfied with their home there and will continue to keep acquainted with things in old Jasper county through the Semi-Weekly Republican, to which he renewed his subscription.

E. church and a dozen or more on the alley paving jobs. With threshing taking up most of the time in the country, there is an era of hustle in Jasper county that should make a lazy man either'go to work or move away.

CRIPPLED MAN INJURED IN RUNAWAY THIS AFTERNOON.

Herman Hordeman, Already Badly Crippled* Suffered Dislocated Elbow and Cut on Scalp. Herman Hotdeman, who suffered the loss of his left arm in a corn shredder last fall, and who had. previously lost part of his other hand had a runaway accident this Tuesday afternoon that bruised him up considerably and might easily have resulted seriously. He was in the wagon to which his team was hitched and was at the J. L. Brady elevator when the team became frightened and started south on Dayton street on a dead run. He struggled with them and was., about to check them when the line through which the hook he used on his left arm, broke and the team was dashing at a lively speed when they reached Clark street, and turned west at the J. P. Hammond r esidence. The bed of the wagon was here thrown off and Herman went off with it. He struck on his head and a gash was cut on his forehead and it was feared he was seriously injured. He was taken to the home of W. S. Coen, near by, and a physician called. It was found that in addition to the gash on the head he had suffered a dislocation of the left elbow, that being the arm that was cut off at’the wrist last fall. He was soon bandaged up and able to go out in search of hi* team, which had been caught Without other damage, about half a mile west of town. ✓

Young Men From Rensselaer Join the United States Army.

Several young men from Rensselaer havp recently become imbued with a desire to join the regular army and have enlisted through the Lafayette recruiting station. All who have gone from here have been members of the local militia company and have taken so great a liking for military life that they want to try it as a regular occupation. Don P. Warren, Robert L. Anderson, Harry Hickman and Ellis L. Thomas will serve three years in the cavalry and will be sent from Lafayette to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, today, for preliminary training. They will probably spend part of their enlistment in Honolulu or the Philippine Islands. Frank Wiseman made application to enlist but was turned down on account of his teeth. He expects to have these treated and then to make another effort to join. Scott Brannaman also made application but failed on the eyesight test.

District Scheels of Jasper County to Open Sept. 11th.

Jasper county district schools will have an early start this year. At the meeting Monday of the county board of education all trustees present agreed Ao start the schools off on September 11th. The absent trustees are May, of Carpenter; Lane, of Newton, and (Kight, of Union. Trustee May has a little daughter that recently became afflicted with infantile paralysis, and the brother of Trustee Lane is Said to be quite sick. Trustee Kight is not a very regular attendant at the monthly meetings.

The Jordan township Sunday school convention at Egypt school house Sunday was attended by about five hundred people. The crowd was larger and the interest greater than the annual convention held a year ago. The program was carried out largely as printed, with the exceptions caused by the absence of President Arthur Waymire, whose wife is very poorly, and of Vice-President Johnston, of Remington. The talks were interesting and Instructive, and Rev. C. L. Harper, of Trinity M. E. church, Rensselaer, delivered an impromptu Address on Sunday school work that was greatly enjoyed. The talks of O. H. McKay were also very much liked and very encouraging. The meeting on the whole was one of the best Sunday school gatherings ever held in Jordan township. 1- - Russell Htrmon was in town yesterday afternoon to have his injured nose dressed. He is recovering satisfactorily and It Is thought will not be seriously disfigured as a result of the injury inflicted when Roscoe Zeigler hit him with a Spade last Friday. His teeth are still loose and it is probable that he will lose at least two of them. His nose is healing up very nicely and there is no Indication of infection. Don’t use harsh physics. The reaction weakens the bowels, leads to chronic constipation. Get Doan’s Regulets. They operate easily, tone the stomach, cure constipation.

HORSE SHOW COMMITTEE MEETING WARM RECEPTION.

Almost Every One Wants the Show And Is Willing to Help Make It a Great Big Success. The soliciting committee for the horse show has met with splendid success and up to last night had secured pledges aggregating |7OO, and they are still at work. It not only takes money to make the mare go but it takes'money to make the horse flesh of any kind go, and as this is our third annual show we want to make it go' good and strong, and there is a generous response to the work of the committee. Several men not in business have put their names down a dollar or two dollars or even more. They expect to get their money’s worth by seeing the best horses ever assembled in the county and by enjoying the other events the committee hopes to make better than ever before. It has about been decided to hold the show Sept 2. to 23, being Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Some would sooner hold_.it a week later and some a week earlier, but the committee have about decided to hold it on the above days. The entertainment committee has nothing to report so far, but they, are trying to get somethig that is new and that will bring a crowd and please them. President Worland prefers a good carnival company if one can be procured, and it is probable an effort will be made to get a company to come here for the week. The suggestion has been made to the proper sommittee that a fantastic parade be given one or more evenings and possibly one forenoon.' This could be pulled off at practically no cost to the horse show committee and would be a great hit and something never undertaken in this part of Indiana, if indeed, in the state. As a side issue, Tom Jensen and Lloyd Parks have decided to hold three dr four ball games and have leased the park for that purpose. They will use all the local players they can and just stock up enough to make the games interesting. This will be run separately from the show and an admission charged to the games to defray the expense of holding them. Good teams from nearby towns will be procured to play. The advertising committee expects to make it known far and wide that Rensselaer will give a big horse show and it is believed that the biggest crowd yet gathered here will be brought in one or two days. The prevalence of automobiles makes it necessary to advertise at greater distances than heretofore and this show will be advertised for thirty miles around. Several auto owners will doubtless help to circulate advertising matter as soon as it is available. It looks like a big show and all that is needed is the pulling together of all our people.

COL. L. C. B. HUMAN DEAD; COMMANDED NINTH REGIMENT.

Gallant Volunteer Under Whom Many Jasper Soldiers Served, Died Sunday Night In Valparaiso. Col. I. C. B. Suman, of Valparaiso, passed away at his home shortly after midnight Sunday night. Heart trouble was* the cause of death and he hazl been confined at bis home for several days under the care of a physician. Colonel Suman last visited Rensselaer during the encampment of the 9th Indiana regiment about five years ago. He was the last colonel of that regiment and was greatly admired by all of the boys who went out from Jasper county in the 9th regiment. To the surviving members of that gallant but fast disappearing band of patriots the news of, his death will be received with much sorrow. The following sketch of Colonel Su man’s career is taken from the Valparaiso Vidette: Col. I. C. B. Suman, one of Valparaiso’s most distinguished and highly respected citizens, died at 12:15 this morning at his home on Laporte avenue. His last sickness was of about two weeks’ duration, but he nad been in failing health for the past two years. Valvular heart disease was the direct cause of his death, although his demise was probably hastened tiy his wounds received in the civil war, which gave him trouble for many years and became aggravated as his end approached. Col. Suman was a native of Fredt erick county, Maryland, and was born Jan. 4, 1831. He was next to the youngest of a family of seven children born to Albert and Mary Suman, who were natives of the south and of English-German descent. Albert Suman served several years in the revolutionary war under General Marlon. Col. Suman was reared in his native state, where he received a common school education. In M'ay, 1846, Col. Suman enlisted in the First U. S. Artillery for service in the Mexican war. He remained in the artillery about two years and was then transferred to the Second U. S. Dragoons and served in the U. S. army at that time five years. He participated under General Taylor in the engagements of Palo Alto, Monterey, Beuna Vista and all movements of Taylor’s army after it crossed the Rio Grande river at Brownsville, Texas, until the capture of the city of Mexico. At the close of the Mexican war the deceased returned to Maryland. His father had been a large slaveholder, but had failed in business and was in reduced circumstances, and young Suman was confronted with the necessity of making bis own way in the world. As he cordially detested slavery, he determined to seek his fortunes in the free states, and so in the fall of 1852 started for the northwest on foot, with just |8 as the sum total of

Auto Speeding Case Postponed Until Friday—Witnesses Absent

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Jamie Willis, which was venued from Marion township to Squire Bussell’s court in Hanging Grove and Mt for trial Monday, has been postponed until Friday. Prosecutor Longwell came over from Brook Monday and with the state’s witnesses went to the Bussell court, while defendant Willis, accompanied by his attorney, John A. Dunlap, and several witnesses, also went there. After arriving Mr. Dunlap explained that three of the defendant’s witnesses were in Chicago and could not be here until Friday and prayed a continuance until that day. This was granted. The decision was disappointing to a gang of threshers at the Bussell residence, who were expecting to be called as a jury in tbecase. It M thought probable that the defendant will take a change of venue from the court next Friday. If he does the case will probably be sent to Justice Gaffield, of Milroy township. Prosecutor Longwell will be over Thursday to look after the State’s side of the case alleging that Hugh Burns, of DeMotte, was recently guilty of intoxication. He will remain over until Friday for the Willis case.

Howard Clark Pitched Great Game of Baseball Sunday.

Howard Clark, who is working at the U. S. Metal works in Hammond, pitched against the steel car shops baseball nine last Sunday and won a signal victory. The Hammond Times thus reports the game: “The U. S. Metals shut out the Standard Steel Car Shops Sunday morning at Harrison park by a score of 6 to 0. Southpaw Clark, who twirled for the U. S., allowed only two hits and struck out eleven men and walked one.” It looks like Clark might, have made good with the Wrens-if he had been given a chance in the box.
