RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1912.

J. L. BRADY SOLD GRAIN BUSINESS HERE.

Business Established Sixteen Tears Ago Passes to Hands of Lafayette Man; Will Leave Rensselaer. ,T. J. Harrington, of Lafayette, was in the city Tuesday and completed a deal for the purchase from J. L. Brady of his elevator and coal business. The deal was made on a cash basis, but The Repubilcan was unable to- ascertain the amount involved. Mr. Brady will give possession of the propery next Monday. The new firm will be composed of T. J. Harrington and a brother, both of Lafayette, and will probably be known as Harrington Bros.’ Grain Co. The Harrington brothers are experienced business men and for a number of years were engaged in the grain business at Remington and other places. During the past few years they have devoted a greater part of their time to their extensive farming interests. It is understood that they will not give the business here much of their personal attention but will send a manager to take charge. Mr. Brady states that he did not plan to dispose of his business so suddenlyjr in fact, he had no intentions of selling out at all until he received an offer, several weeks ago, from Indianapolis grain merchants who own elevators over the entire state. Since then many buyers have been trying to make a deal with Mr. Brady. Mr. Brady has engaged in the grain business in Rensselaer for sixteen years. The elevator was built and business established in 1896 by C. W. Coen and J; L. Brady. They did a general grain and coal business and carried it on successfully and profitably for a number of years. In the fall of 1909 Mr. Brady and Mr. Coen dissolved partnership, the former took the whole of the elevator business and the latter moved to South Bend, where he is engaged in the banking business. Mr. Brady stated, as his reasons for selling out, that for some time he has been desirous of engaging in a different business, and that when this opportunity came for selling at a good price, he took advantage of it. Mr. Brady has no definite plans for the future. -The greater part of the next few months will be spent In adjusting business affairs. He will take his time to look around and intends eventually, if he can dispose of his residence and other property here, to embark in the coal and lumber business in some larger city, possibly South Bend or Indianapolis.

NO REASON FOR IT

You Are Shown the Way; Out. There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of serious kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that these Ills can be cured. The following is convincing proof: ■ :■ Phillip Parcells, N. niinois St., Monticello, Ind., says: "I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as being a most effective remedy for kidney complaint I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and the results were gratifying. Off and on during the past year, I was subject to attacks of backache and I also had trouble from too frequent passages of the kidney secretions. After experimenting with various remedies and receiving no lastiilg benefit, I learned of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Their use curgd me and I have since recommended them to many other people, who in turn have used them with satisfactory results.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

A Very Excellent Paper Is the Kicker's Mouthpiece.

By devoting a good part of its front page to explaining why it did not get to print the telephone cards and to showing what Its editor does not know about decorated automobiles, the current issue of The Jasper County Democrat is a fine paper—for certain purposes. We are glad to recommend It to people who like to read about the troubles of others or who need newspapers for cupboard shelves. It Is a very good party paper, too, if Its readers do not care for insincerity of its editor, who will devote the next few months to praising Woodrow Wilson and Tom Marshall, White toe sypipathjMrf the pilot is with the reaction!^ l6nsoi*dt XtuT pSrty. \ i Try the Classified Column.

BAND OUT OF DEBT; HAS SMALL BALANCE.

Total Receipts From 4th Celebration . 6718.40; Expenditures $485.51; Debts About $175. The Rensselaer Boys’ Band has scored another success by giving a fine 4th of July celebration and not only paying out in full but having a balence of $232.89. The celebration was a big undertaking but Bandmaster Otto Braun and Manager Don Wright are used to big undertaknigs and have always succeeded. They found the people ready to trust them with the celebration and the contributions liberal. They arranged a good program and provided some excellent attractions. They did a large amount of boosting and advertising and they brought one of the largest crowds to Rensselaer that was ever gathered here. Now they have paid all the debts and submit the following brief but readily comprehensive report. Total receipts ~.5718.40 Disbursements 485.51 Cleared : 232.51 Debts discharged i. 175.00 On hand 57.89 The band had incurred a number of debts during the winter and spring. They have retained the services of Prof. Braun and have also kept a room for their practices. Their revenue has been small and they had been running behind. The celebration not only paid them out of debt but left a balance for future use. - It has been suggested that the band boys give one big day this fall, devoted argely to motorcycle races. They could give us a big day and a big crowd for $250 or a little more.

Taggart was called before the senate committee on campaign expenditures at Washington Tuesday. He was. asked about the money received for the 1904 Parker campaign, which he managed.

Ryan and Carl 'Meyer, of New York, had contributed, but he did not know how much. He did not rdmember how much he contributed himself. He said he thought he was safe in saying SI,OOO.

He got the books later but burned them and his memory had entirely failed him about the receipts and disbursements. Democrats, at least, have the satisfaction of knowing that Tom Taggart, who burned, the books which showed their contributions, without making any report either to them or to anyone else, is still doing business In Hoosierdom, dividing his time between boosing the democratic party of the state and running his gambling dens at French Lick. The official bulletin issued by the department of commerce and labor at Washington gives Indiana a population, based on the figures of 1910, of 2,700,876, "an increase over the previous years of 184,414.
