“Grapeshot” From a Lay “Regular.”

The Rensselaer Republican, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sirs: I attach you check herewith to cover my subscription due not long since, $1.50. Just sold my hogs at 7% cents, and as you’re running a “regular” republican newspaper I thought I’d just consider this as a compaign contribution and pay at once. Am willing. anytime to give twenty pounds of pork, one-tenth of a good hog, for the good of the country. But still, if all the rank and file democrats “toss in,” as they are requested, and would go twenty pounds of pork to the man it would represent some hog. But I’m of the opinion hogs will be off a few cents before Woodrow Wilson gets that collection all in. Just for charity sake, it looks like “Bab” ought to set it up in big type: “PAY EARLY DEMMIES AND SAVE PORK.” I see by your paper the progressives of Jasper county have issued a call for a convention. Which is this, the “regular” insurgents,” or the “insurging” insurgents? That is, is it the “soft-shells” as Bob LaFollette terms them, or the “hard-shells” variety I

suppose he chose these terms because one variety likes clear water better than the other. By the way, I wonder if some of the “leading light” progressives of Rensselaer who stand near the political throne couldn’t supply us with .h 3 figures off of Teddy’s cash register. I notice recently that LaFollette dared Roosevelt on the second occasion to make public his primary campaign expense. We know Theodore is a believer in publicity, and he surely ordered the figures put out at once. But I either overlooked the article or it came out in a Sunday paper which I didn’t get. Have some of the big gun progressives of Jasper supply us this information through your columns, please. We just want- to see what it costs per head to let on “overwhelming popular demand” express itself. I would like to see whether country votes average as high as his records filed on expense in Kings county, New York, averaged, which was $5.00 each. Some of my neighbors who call themselves progressives but live just over the line in White county are intending to go to the Rensselaer progressive convention and to take active part in the proceedings. They have interests in Jasper but reside in White and argue that they are justified in disregarding the boundary line. They argue that the voters of a county can erase a boundary line fixed by the state just the same way that California erased a boundary line be- . tween congressional units fixed by act of congress.' The Taft men at Chicago, as we all know, refused to rec ognize California’s act as valid, but Jasper progressives, being wedded to this idea, I suppose will receive m? White county progressives with open arms. And if they don’t our White county folks can cry “Thief, thief,” and start a new movement / Don’t forget to print those figures —we’ll be watching for them. Yours truly,

ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCALS.

George P. Daugherty seems to be failing slowly and there does not seem much improvement, owing tp his advanced age. He if in his 85th year. His disease is a hardening of the arteries. Train No. 32, due here at 10:12 o’clock a. m., was delayed today on account of a wreck on the Wabash railroad which spilled across the Monon tracks at Delphi. The train has not yet arrived. rMs. Hiram Blanchett and children returned to, their home in Winamac yesterday after a week’s visit with her father, W. L. Criswell, of southeast of town. Her sister, Miss Olive Criswell, returned' with her for a short visit. Three traveling musicians, playing two violins and a harp, were on our streets yesterday afternoon. Alfred Thompson and Virgil Robinson engaged them for the evening to play for a at the armory. About fifteen codpies were present and enjoyed a pleasant time. The fanciest car load of peaches ever received in Rensselaer is now here. They are the Texas Elberta, are sound and uniform in size and of excellentflavor, and are cheaper than the last car load sold at. Phone in your Order before they are all gone.

Mrs. Kate R. Watson and daughter, Myra, will leave Friday for Monona plantation, owned by her brother, Omar Ritchie, in Louisiana. Mr. Ritchie suffered extensively by the Mississippi flood this spring when the dyke gave way. He had already done considerable seeding and all had to be done over again, but he has a splendid crop nevertheless, Isaac Parker completed his thrashing last week. He had three fields of early or 4th of July bats, which are not usually as heavy as the later oats. One field of 53 acres averaged 44 bushels; another field of 10 acres averaged 61 bushels and a third field of 60 acres averaged 45 bushels. Isaac is running Everet Halstead’s thrashing outfit and will start a run north of town in a few days.

—W. Elvin Overton and wife, of Rockford, 111., who were called to Lafayette by the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Price, mother of Mrs,. Overton, came to Rensselaer last evening for a short visit with Mrs. Overton’s sister, Mrs. J. W. Childers. Elvin is a blockman in the employ of the International Harvester Co., and is doing well. He would hot say just how well, but he must have struck the spring bf everlasting youth for he looks like a youngster, when we knew that he has us seniored by at least four years. Don’t forget the Presbyterian picnic tomorrow noon in Kanne’s grove, west of Wm. Washburn's. All members and supporters of the church and Sabbath school are most cordially invited, especially the parents and children attending the Sabbath school. Come and bring your baskets and enjoy the fine program that has been arranged. All persons interested, having automobiles, can contribute to the success of the affair by driving to the church by 10:30 or later to take baskets or people to the picnic grounds.

The rain last night interfered with* the airdome and tent shows and no performances were given by The Princess, Gayety, nor the Warner stock company. Tonight Tom Sidello will make his last appearance at the Gayety with his phantasmagoria, ‘The Skeleton, the Clown and the Doll.” It pleased t)he audience Monday night and is certain to make a big hit with any audience. The Warner stock company will produce Nat Goodwin’s big comedy hit, “My Father’s Wife.” Tomorrow night the stock company will play “Among the Hills,” which was to have been the bill for last night. It is a companion piece to ‘The Wolf,” in which Augustus Phillips starred for some time. Road, Supervisor Battleday, accompanied by Commissioner Stackhouse and Trustee Parkison, visited Burk’s bridge after The Republican told of its dangerous condition and found the bridge in a very menacing condition. Mr. Battleday says that it is apt to go over at any time and that while he weighs only 110 pounds and his dog only 10 pounds, he was careful that e and the dog did not get\on it at the same time. The people north of the bridge are greatly put out that it has not been repaired long ago or that some movement looking toward thte building of a new bridge has not been started. The bridge can not be replaced by a before October because a meeting of the county council will have to be called to make an appropriation and then the contract can not be let until the bridge is advertised. Not only for grain hauling and general travel is the bridge badly needed, but also for gravel hauling for road repairs. Some means should be employed to repair it so that it willbe safe until the new bridge is installed.

Mathewson’s grand average along with that of old Cy Young’s has never been equaled. (The axe has fallen on Jack Quinn, veteran N. Y. Yank twirler, being released to the International League by Manager Wolverton. Waivers have been asked on Bobby Wallace, St. Louis shortstop. Bobby has slowed up too much after his 16 years major league service. Nick Altrock has come back to Washington from Kansas City. He will be used on the coaching lines along with Germany Schaefer. This pair is the cleverest comedians in the league. Sol Myer, owner of the Indianapolis team, has hired detectives to watch his players during the hours they are not playing. As a result, several have been released.

JOHN EGER.

Harry Wolverton, Yank leader,, has declared that Tyrus Cobb is worth SIOO,OOO to any ball team in the country. He also states that he would not trade him for some ball teams in the big league. Danny Green, old Sox is slowly sinking in the Cook County Hospital. Tuberculosis is the cause. He was one of the famous outfield, composed of Bill Lange, Ryan and himself. Sweeney, Boston second sacker, connected safely five times yesterday in the game with the Cards. His fifth drive won for Boston in the 14th. Bis Lord connected safely four times in the Athletic-Tiger game yesterday. Connie Mack, admitted for the first time yesterday that the race was over as far as the Macks were concerned. The Cubs faded before the masterful hurling of “Matty” in the final CubGiant battle on the polo grounds yesterday. Fight fans are watching the result of the Attel-Murphy bout in Frisco with much interest. If Attell loses he will be classed as no longer of championship calibre. Murphy has one victory to his credit over the clever little Abe.

Cemetery Accounts Must Be Settled Soon.

All accounts due the Weston Cemetery Association for lots or upkeep or for any purpose must be settled with the trustees op or before September 15th.

Long, secretary; Hale Warmer, treasurer. Fred Schultz and Taylor Wood, of Union township, were in town today closing up a deal by which Taylor sells to Fred his 5-acre tract south of B. D. Comer’s. The tract was a corner of Fred’s 120 acres. Mr. Wood' will give possession November Ist. He expects to purchase a larger tract of land. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Greathouse has issued a statement making himself clear about the proposed 12-months-school. He does not regard favorably the running of schools without a long summer rest, but believes that a short session of say a half hour each day could be successfully devoted to industrial arts and manual training during the summer vacation. Mrs. Carrie D. Short and Mrs. Jesse Snyder received a message about six o’clock yesterday evening stating that their mother, Mrs. Henry Baughman, of Monon, could not live more thantwo hours. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder went over at once in an automobile and Mrs. Short took the 11 o’clock train, but when they arrived their mother had rallied somewhat and is now a trifle better. It is not expected, however, that she can live more than a few days, on account of her advanced age, today being her 76th birthday. »

H. E. Hartley, who is running the Harrington elevator recently purchased of J. L. Brady, was for a number of years connected with the elevator business at Remington and Wadena.

He has rented the residence in which J. K. Davis now lives, north of the Presbyterian church and te expecting his household goods shortly. His family consists of his wife and their eighteen year old daughter.

Queer Names for Trains Given by Monon Trainmen.

On the Monon, like all other roads,' the trainmen have their odd names for trains, and these names are not long in becoming household words, not only with crews that, make up the trains but to every other employe. The following are the names of some of the trains and the reasons for their christening: • The “Nigger Local” is the switching train that runs from Lafayette daily; to Bainbridge, and is so christened on, account of the all around work it does 1 in the way of switching on every trip, i The “Blue Bird” is the fast passenger: train that leaves Lafayette every' morning at 8:35 for Michigan City. Being a regular morning flyer, it gets its name from that. The “Owl Train’.’ are trains 56 to 57 that run between Lafayette and Michigan City and derives their names on account of night runs? ' The “Milk Train” runs daily between Chicago and Lafayette and gets its name from the great quantities of milk it picks up. The “Lamb Special” is a night train running beteew Louisville and Chicago and carries nothing but lambs for the Chicago market. “The Berry Train” performs similar service during the berry season.
