C. H. llighieyv a - traveling photographer, struck Rensselaer today, and early this morning began, taking pictures. His home is at Richmond, Ind., and he has been in the photograph viewing business for a number of years. He travels in a fine big wagon and drives a team of splendid gray horses. His wagon is arranged with every convenience for the development of his negatives and the finishing of the pictures. He is assisted by an operator for the camera and he takes care of the business end and does most of the finishing work. Mr. Highley has every appearance of being a hustler and will probably be here for several days.

Will L. Wishard and family, who have been in Los Angeles, Calif., for some time, have started for their home in Big Rapids, Mich., but will not reach there until about Sept 10th. They will visit at Rockyford, Colo., and then with Mrs. Felix French, at Hutchinson, Kans., and then stop a few days in Chicago before going on to Big Rapids. In a postal card to The Republican, Will says: “W» have enjoyed reading The Republican in our California home very much the past year and can not get along without it. We had a very pleasant year in Los Angeles. The summer has been very pleasant, always cool in the shade and cool at night, so one can sleep good. Los Angeles Is a very nice city and a good place to spend a vacation.”

NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS.

While swimming in Silver lake, south of Warsaw, Ira Crowl, aged 34, was drowned Thursday evening. A daughter was born Thursday morning to Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr„ who have lived in San Pranciseo ever since their marriage. Mr. Roosevelt is engaged in business there. Mayor Charles L. Goetz, of South Bend, is confined to his home with injuries received in a severe fall on the street. He tripped over some object and in falling sprained his right ankle and instep. There is a pressing need for harvesters in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. Farmers from all over western Canada are complaining of a shortage of labor in handling the bumper crop which is now ready for cutting. It is estimated that 30,000 men can be used. * i, C. P. Huff, a veteran of the civil war, drew his pension and went to an Elwood hotel to rest. He awoke with a stifling sensation and saw a man run from the room. Looking under his pillow, where he had placed 3125, he found nothing. The police could find no trace of the thief. Mrs. Floyd Bennett and four children were found by a humane officer at South Bend with nothing to eat except apples taken from a neighbor’s orchard and coffee without sugar or milk. Notice to vacate the cottage in which they lived had been served on them by the owner. Bennett was arrested on a charge of intoxication. Mrs. Emmeline Walton, one of the surviving real daughters of the American revolution, died Thursday at Hastings, Mich. She was the youngest daughter by a third marriage of Peter Edmonds, of the Sixth battalion of Northampton militia of Pennsylvania, who served under Washington. She was born in Plain, Wayne county, in 1853. Her father died in 1854.

Mrs. Albert Sprague, of Columbus, this state, who lost her voice on the night her husband was murdered, July 17, 1910, is still unable to talk. When Mrs. Sprague found the body of her husband beside her she screamed for some time and injured her vocal chords. Since the night of the murder she has been unable to speak louder than a whisger. Now it is with difficulty that she whispers.

Examination of Trustee's Books Less Expensive This Tear.

• . —- It is probable that ail the reports have been made of tlie examination of the books of the township trustees this year, but they are not made to t’ie county auditor, but to the advisory board of the trustee, and are supposed to be open to public inspection, so if any taxpayer of any township wishes to know how his trustee stands with the board of examination, be can find out by consulting the president of the advisory board, to whom tue report is sent. In Marlon township the report was recently sent to H. W. Wood, Sr., and it shows H. E. Parkison, trustee, to have all of his books in excellent condition, and> he is credited with conservatism and businesslike management of the affairs of the township. Only two small, errors were discovered in his accounts of the previous year. He had paid the members of his old advisory board $lO each, they having had some extra work to do. The examiners turhed this down, and allowed them only $5 each and Trustee Parkison returned sls to the township treasury, being out the sls himself. His other error was a mistake of 20 cents, which he had neglected to pay to some one, but the report does not say to whom. The township fund was 20 cents long thereby, but the report said that he had promised to hunt up the party and draw another voucher in his favor for the 20 cents, thereby giving him all that was coming and squaring the books of the township. Examinations were less expensive this year than last, but the field men were careful not to take more than one trustee in a single day. Three townships got in this year under the new rate of $8 per day for each examiner, but the others all paid at the old rate of $lO per day. Only one day was required in each township, except'Union and Walker, as will be seen by the following list of the expense of the past two years:

• 1910 1911 Barkley $40.75 $20.68 .Carpenter 1 60.75 20.68 Gillam 40.75 16.68 Hanging Grove 25.75 20.68 Jordan 50.75 20.68 Kankakee 40.75 16.68 Keener 50.75 20.68 Marion ....... 40.75 20.68 Milroy 40.76 16.68 Newton : 40.75 20.68 Union 60.75 42.68 Walker ..... 103.40 61.48 Wheatfield 40.75 20.68 Total township cost,. 637.46 319.64 Other examinations: Remington school town $61.43 City of Rensselaer 201.43 Rensselaer school town 61.43 Town of Wheatfield 32.83 Wheatfield school town 32.83 County offices £79.10 $1,332.03 The aggregate sum paid in the two years of field examiners for county, city, town and township work is $2,289.13. This money was paid by the taxpayers of Jasper county. With the reduced pay for the field examiners the cost in a county like Jasper for a full examination every year should not exceed SSOO, and possibly not that much if the examiners would hustle a little. It wouid seem that two examiners should go over the accounts of three or four trustees in one day and we believe they can if they will hustle, and $8 per day ought to get hustlers. Not all the county offices have yet been ekamlned by the examiners under the public accounting law, but a new bunch of field men is apt to drop in and start work at most any time. Whenever they do it means a matter of sl6 per day to the taxpayers.

Tortured Fer 15 Years

By a cure-defying stomach trouble that baffled all doctors, and resisted all remedies he tried, John W. Modelers, of ModdersvUle, Mich., seemed doomed. He had to sell his farm and give up work. His neighbors said, ‘‘He can’t live much longer.’ 11 “Whatever I ate, distressed me,” he wrote, “till I tried Electric Bitters, which worked such wonders for me that I can now eat things I could not take for years. It’s surely a grand remedy for stomach trouble.’’ Just as good for the liver and kidneys. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c at A. P. Long’s.
