RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1112,

JAMES F. TRWIN DIES SUDDENLY IN CHICAGO.

Well Knows Citizen and Former Connty Officer Succumbs to Attack J Of Heart Failure. James F. Irwin, a veteran the Civil war, a former county officer.' senior member of the law, real estate and insurance firm of Irwin & Irwin, and president and half partner with his son, E. W. Irwin, of the Wolcott Brick and Drain Tile Co., died suddenly in the State hotel in Chicago Sunday morning, As soon as it was learned here that Mr. Irwin had passed away, his son-in-law, A. E. Wallace, and his daugh-ter-in-law, Mrs. Schuyler C. Irwin, went to Chicago, and there bad the body prepared for shipment to Renswhere it will be received this Monday evening on the 6:02 train. They will bring with them the true account of the manner of his death. In company with his son and business partner, Schuyler C. Irwin, he went to Chicago on the 10:05 train. It was’ the plan to place the latter in an institute for treatment for the liquor habit. It Is presumed that the excitement attending the trip proved too much for Mr. Irwin, whose heart had caused him trouble at times. Schuyler was with his father at the hotel when the fatal moment came and was first to reach his side after he had fallen.

Following the death Schuyler went to the institute for treatment, after counseling with his wife and brother-in-law, and helping to arrange for the shipment of the body home. James F. Irwin was born near Indianapolis 70 years ago the 4th of August. He served in the Union army during a part of the Civil war. He had lived in Jasper county for about 60 years* and in Rensselaer since 1884, when he was elected county clerk, filling the office for two terms. He was elected from Carpenter township, which he had served as trustee for twelve or fourteen years. He was a very able man and an excellent citizen and his death was very untimely notwithstanding his advanced age, for lie was a very active man and seemed to he good for many more years of energetic business life. His family consists of his wife and tbe following children: Schuyler C.. Frances, Mrs. Alice Warren, MTS. Maude Wallace, Fred and Marguerite/ of Rensselaer, and Ed. W., of Wplcott. Deceased leaves two brothers, Rob ert F. Irwin, of Carpenter township, and John A. Irwin, of Brook, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Watts of Broad Ripple near Indianapolis. Present plans, which will probablynot be changed, are to hold the funeral at the late residence at 2:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. It will be conducted by Rev. C. L. Harper, of Trinity M. E. church.

Copious Rainfall Sunday Deferred Two Big Games.

The weeping Sabbath skies and the intervention of the elements In general caused the cancellation of two games of local interest Sunday. The Jefferson Tigers were inMhe pink "of condition to meet the Schneider aggregation but the weather man was not. willing that the gaipe should be played that day. Manager Moore and Capt. Howard Clark got in communication with the Schneider captain early in the morning and found that the weather conditions were bad there. The game was postponed two weeks. The LaSalle and Elysian Clubs which were to have had a heated contest at Riverside Park, gave up hopes early in the day, and by mutual agreement postponed their game until next Sunday.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON REPLETE WITH ADVICE.

Df. r. H. Hume Delivered Splendid Address to. Graduates, Enron rag* ing Them to Best Efforts. Although the, night was very I*nir favorable from the weather standpoint, a large audience went to the Christian church to listen to the baccalaureate sermon delivered to the graduating class by Dr. R. H. Hume, of Springfield, Ohio. Other churches dispensed with their services and the ministers all attended the events in which the graduating class is the cen ter of interest. .Contrary to the customary plan, the other events do not follow within the week, but will take place nest week. • It was 7:45 when the graduating class marched into the main auditorium from one of the class rooms. They were followed by the high school teachers and all were seated in the front ceiiter .seats. They created a very favorable impression and many complimentary things were said about .their excellent appearance. Mrs. J. L. Brady presided at the organ playing as the graduates marched in. The Singing.of the Doxology followed. Rev. Harper then offered an invocation and the Presbyterian choir sang “Praise Ye the Father.” Rev, Winn then read the Scriptural lesson and Rev. Cross offered prayer. The choir then sang “Consider and Hear Me.” The music was of a high order and the choir received many compliments.

DT". Hume was then introduced and announced his text to be “ I press toward the mark,” the first clause of the 14th verse of the 3rd chapter of the Epistle of Paul. Dr. Hume related the story of Paul’s letter, saying that . it was among the best of the apostlals letters. Its tone is loving, its compliments are generous and kindly, Its advice is tender and its sentiments pure and lofty and it forms a suitable basis for the meditations which we may now indulge in. “If I can employ this splendid aim of Paul’s as a means of putting thoughts into your, minds, purposes into your hearts and aid you to secure the power to express the thoughts with your lips, I shall hav« accomplished much for you, shall have. pleased God, whom I passionately love and have secured personal satisfaction in having been the means of inspiring you to realize that to aspire as Paul did to perfect living is still the noblest purpose of mankind.” “Have* a mark toward which to aim, have a single lofty ambition, and devote all the energies of your life toward its accomplishment. A great majority of people have no definite aim and countless lives are wrecked while drifting unguided on the stream of life. First of all, have a destination and with your mind and 'heart and all your faculties centered on reaching the goal, place your ship in the hands of a skillful and fearless engineer and steqr ahead. Do not se£ your hearts on places of position and fame, for they are as naught Compared to the noble purpose of living near to Christ in all that you do. Do things that are genuinely true, the very best in your hearts, the best in your minds and the purest in your souls. The man at the engine, the accountant at the desk, the girl in the home may accomplish more than persons who are prominent in- the holding of positions or the accumulation of wealth. Humble positions sometimes call for the execution of the highest art and you may reach nearest the goal and never attract attention in your lives. It is not the labor in which you are engaged, but the purpose you have and the thought you give it and the manner in which, you meet your calling.

“The Father asks two things, the best thoughts and the best efforts to accomplish the thoughts you have. “Wisdom is the gift of God and is not to be found in the heavens above or the earth below. Wisdom is living wisely, living with God and having God within you. Many go to colleges who are never heard of afterwards. Some have no aim, no ambition, no purpose, no mark,'and make no use of the opportunities which God has placed on every hand and which our civilization has made so possible he turn to the glory of God. Let your aim be the highest, choose Your calling with the determination to succeed in it. After you have chosen it, continue to think that it 16 the mightiest calling in the world and make the most of it. In selecting your calling, first find out that you are suited for it This is essential to bring ont the best in your soul, heart and mind. Select for your calling the one in which you think you can best serve your fellowmen. 1 have learned to despise the man who lives for self alone. Make your life so earnest in your calling that you can do only the right thing, BslSßr.'- ■ - .. ;

FIRM FOUNDATION

Nothing Can Undermine It in Rensselaer. ~ ‘ People are sometimes slow .to recognize true merit, and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been humbugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Rensselaer residents, expressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan’s Kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. Charles Malchow, Harvey St, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently .that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. , Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store, I began their use. After taking a few doses, I knew that r had at last found the remedy f needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were disposed of. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Mis since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get prompt and lasting relief. This remedy lives up to al Ithe claims made for it” For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents. Foster-MiHmm Co, Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. - Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.
