HAVE CONQUERED THE AIR; BIRDMEN ON LAKE FRONT.

Many Rensselaer People Witnessed Marvelous FUghts in Aircrafts in Chicago Sunday. One hundred Rensselaer people went to Chicago on the excursion train Sunday and many more went on the regular 10:05 train, a rate of one and one-half fare prevailing during the meeting of the aviators in Chicago this week. The excursion train started at Greencastle and consisted of fourteen coaches, all well • filled. The, greatest drawing card in Chicago was the aviation meet on the lake front, which is said to have attracted over three hundred thousand people to Chicago that day. Beginning last Saturday and continuing all this week, the leaders in America in the triumph of the air are holding a great meeting and giving daily exhibitions of daring. It was this exhibition that impelled the greatest number to go from Rensselaer, and the crowd was not disappointed, as the exhibition was a magnificent success. It may now be said that man has conquered the air. Onl/ a few years ago people were practically agreed that man could never fly in the air and direct his movements contrary to the currents of air. Now they rise to great heights, circle contrary to the wind, and perform all manner of stunts that make the spectator marvel at the ingenuity of man. The performance in Chicago Sunday was marvelous and inspiring, and the countless thousands of people were delighted as never so vast a throng has been before in Chicago. At one time eleven areoplanes, mostly biplanes, were in the air. Some skimmed the ground and then would dart upward and sail for a time at a height of one or two hundred feet or much higher, and then come down close to earth again, and indulge in all the spectacular stunts of the aviation game. The following results of the Sunday program were announced in today’s Chicago Tribune, showing the entire success of the day’s program: i Twenty Mile Race for Biplanes— Won by Lincoln Beachey in Curtiss; time, 23 minutes 11:26 seconds; prize, SSOO. Earle L. Ovington in Curtiss, second; time, 23 ulinutes 56.07 seconds; prize, S3OO. Jimmie Ward inCurtiss, third; time, 25 minutes 12.75 seconds; prize, S2OO. Eight Mile Passenger Carrying for Monoplanes—Won by Tom Sopwith in Bleriot; time, 9 minutes 34 seconds; prize, S6OO. No other competitors. Alighting—Won by J. V. Martin in Grahame-White biplane; distance from mark, 1 foot 3 inches; prize, $250. Lee Hammofid in Baldwin biplane, second; distance, 26 feet 4 incites, prize, $l5O. Tom Sopwith in Wright biplane, third; distance, 31 feet, prize, SIOO. C. P. Rodgers In Wright biplane, fourth; distance,*,34 feet 9 inches. W. R. Badger in Baldwin biplane, fifth; distance, 61 feet. Special Prize ($3,000 for firßt man to break world’s record by carrying two passengers more than one hour) — Won by Tom Sopwith in Bleriot monoplane; time, 1 hour 10 minutes; passenger b, Harry England and Edward Kraemer. * 1 As the meeting will continue throughout the week and over next Sunday it is probable that many more Jasper county people will get to see the aircrafts. •,>

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1911.

BRIDE OF LESS THAN DAY DESERTS HUSBAND.

Ruth Gilmore and Paul Possin Were Married Last Tuesday—Leaves With Younger Man. The wedding of Miss Ruth Gilmore, of Rensselaer, Ind., and Paul Possin, of this city, took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Collins, 1414 Park avenue, Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. W. C. Millikan, of the First Methodist church, performed the ceremony. The bride wore white and was attended by Miss Mabel Downey. The groomsman was George Marion, of Parr, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. Possin will make their home In this city. The above item was published in the Chicago Heights Signal of last Wednesday, Aug. 9th. The same evening The Republican published a statement that the reported marriage of Miss Gilmore, who worked in the home of Attorney Honan and wife, was false. The statement was published after the reporter had talked with Mr. Honan about the report circulated. He stated that the young lady had stoutly maintained that she was not married. On Saturday The Republican received a note from Mr. Possin, which read: “I send you a clipping from the Chicago Heights Signal.” The above is the clipping. The reporter informed Mr. and Mrs. Honan and also Mrs. Lizzie Jenkins, the latter being an aunt of the Gilmore .girl, and they were loath to believe that she had deceived them about the wedding. They recalled that the Gilmore girl seemed to be holding something back but the fact that she followed her denial of the marriage by leaving Rensselaer in company with Gossie Brown, her ‘ young sweetheart, left them no further room for doubt. They related how Ruth had met Gossie after her return home Wednesday morning and how he had begged her to accompany him to the home of his brother near Kirklin. Both Mr. and Mrs. Honan, who were giving the girl a good home, Implored her to stay with them, as she was not yet 17 years of age, but finally Gossie’s eloquence overcame them, and she left with him on the afternoon train Wednesday Ttnd it is supposed went to the home of his brother, near Kirklin. They stated that Ruth had some new articles of clothing when she returned home and that she had money, which Mr. Possin had evidently given to her to come here and get her things. She left most of the clothing at the Honan home when she departed with Goesle. Sunday Mr. Possin came to Rensselaer. He was informed that she had gone away with Gossie Brown. Mr. Possin, who is 46 years of age and a man of good appearance and excellent repute, was brokenhearted. He cried, and between bis sobs related how he had given her the money to come here the morning after their marriage, in order that she could get her belongings and return to help him establish a home and bring his three children into their home, from Parr, where they had been living with a relative. She had seemed cheerful when she left and bo had expected her back home the following day. He knew nothing about her until some one sent him a copy of The Republican In which she had denied her marriage. He waited until Sunday for her return and when she did not come back he came to Rensselaer and learned that she had gone away with the young man with whom she had kept company for a long time before she met the man she married. Mr. Possin is a son-in-law of George Marion, of Union township. His wife died some time ago, leaving him with three

Motorcycle Tourist Telephoned Chi* cago Parents, Who Came to His Relief Sunday Morning. There arrived in Rensselaer at 5 o’clock Sunday morning, aftqe an allnight drive, a big Columbia touring car, with an anxious family as passengers. There was one homesick young man awaiting their arrival. The auto passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Alkire, of Chicago, and their son and daughter, Mr. O. D. Alkire and Miss Marie Alkire. The young man who awaited them was Charles W. Alkire, son of the two first named, and brother of the other two. The parents had labored under the* Impression that their son was in danger of lynching or some other direful Jfate in Rensselaer, but the son was stopping at the Makeever hotel with no further disaster impending than that which may come to a yonng man who has gone broke and has a disabled motorcycle on bis hands.

trip, for exceeding the speed limit. When a Chicago man is nabbed in Indianapolis he is given the limit, and it cost young Alkire $35 to square himself. He did not have a big surplus, and after he had paid his fine, an invoice showed that about all he had left was a motorcycle, an appetite and enough gasoline to reach Rensselaer. He had added to his liabilities, without increasing his assets, when he reached here, by having disabled his auto. He told his troubles to N. C. Shafer, of the Maxwell garage, and Mr.. Shafer staked him to the price of a telephone message, and he talked with that greatest of all . friends in time of trouble, his mother. She talked to pa, ana the entire family became frightened for fear Charley was in big trouble, and they cranked up the family buzz cart and beat It to, Rensselaer. Thus the story ends, everybody being entirely happy and the reunion of the prodigal with the parents was celebrated by a big' breakfast at the Makeever hotel, after which the departure was made for Chicago'.
