Dr. J. Hanssen Injured In Attempt to Throw Horse.

.Dr. J. Hanssen was doctoring a horse for Fred Yeiter last week and in an attempt to throw the horse down, his back was badly wrenched and some ligaments strained. The doctor has been able to be about, but today he was suffering so much pain that, at his request, Dr. Washburn sent him to a sanitarium at Martinsville, Ind., where he will take treatment. About the time things begin to look gloomy about The Republican office Alf Donnelly does something to rejuvenate our spirits and to make the life of an editor wofth while. A few days ago be dumped a sack of Rural potatoes and Globe onions or at the office door and said if they were worth while we might tell onr readers about them. The potatoes were as solid as they were the day they were dug and have a flavor of rare excellence (this is no taffy because of the obligation, we mean it) and the fellow who cultivates Rurals from seed he sells will have no cause to regret it. The onions were of two kinds, those that were kept for table use and others that were sprouting for planting. Both were used with equally pleasing result* Abe Alstrtin -OB6& aalA, onion a day keeps the awqy, and other*” but Abe “Martin did not have any reference to Globe onions. By the judicious use of Republican classified ads and an occasional gift to The Republican editors the proprietor of the Globe Onion Farm has built up a big business and like a number of other democratic farmers kept the wolf from the door during these long years of republican hard times.
