RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 81, 1913.

PBOSTRATED BY HEATFELL FROM MOTORCYCLE.

Kenneth Rhoades became Unconscious While on Motorcycle—Narrowly Escapes Serions Inqury. •Overcome by intense heat, Kenneth Rhoades, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Rhoades, of this city, was thrown from a motorcycle Friday evening about four miles east of Remington. and for ¥ time it was thought he was seriously injured. (He and Herman Tuteur went to Lafayette yesterday on the latter’s motorcycle to see the Ringling Bros, circus. After the afternoon show was over Herman decided to remain for the evening. Kenneth wanted to return home so Herman said he would come .by rail and let Kenneth have the motorcycle. Rhoades started about five o’clock and had covered the worst roads of the trip between Lafayette and Wolcott. After leaving Wolcott he said the intensity of the heat became very noticeable. About 6:15 o’clock, when he had covered about two miles of the road between Wolcott and Remington, he met a farmer driving a grain wagon and slowed down to pass him. After that all is a blank with Kenneth. Mr. Miles, the farmer that he had just met, happened to glance hack and at that moment he said that Rhoades was turning somersaults id the air and the machine was plunging in ditch at the side of the road. Mr. Miles went to assist Rhoades and found him in an unconscious condition in which state he lay until 8:30 o’clock. A Wolcott physician was called to administer treatment. He declared that Rhoades was overcome by heat and that he probably became, unconscious before he fell. Kenneth was very fortunate, in that he was not seriously injured. His only injuries are a bruised head and left shoulder on which he fell. As'%bhoades was a stranger in that locality his identity was not learned until he regained consciousness. His father was then notified by telephone and went after him in an automobile, arriving here again about 10:30. Kenneth was on the streets this morning and seems none the worse for his experience excepting a feeling of general exhaustion.

Van Arnold made a business visit to Logansport today. I 11 . ' i f —' Mrs. Lee Rardin, of Parr, was visit- ' ing friends and relatives here yester--1 day. - John and Bern Luers and Fred , Putts are spending the day in Monticello. Floyd and Arthur Miller, of east of town, went to Lafayette on business today. Miss Alice Dewey went to Gosport today to visit until Thursday with Triends. Miss Fern Britton went to DeMotte to visit for a few days with her sister, Mrs. Russell DeMoss. Miss Beatrice Clift entertained a number of girl friends at her fifteenth birthday party Friday evening. Frank Putts, Chas. Blue and Clifford Beaver went to Monticello today, where they are running a stand. Miss Hope Hurley and sister and brother, Eva and Lowell, went to Reynolds today to visit over Sunday with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. John Nagel arrived from Plymouth yesterday for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Gangloff. * Mr. and Mrs. John T.

Postoffice Will be Closed Tight All Day Tomorrow.

The postoffice will be closed all day tomorrow and the patrons of the office will be compelled to wait until Monday for the mail they could have just as well on Sunday. It is probable that the lobby of the postoffice will be open a portion of the day but as no mail, will be distributed it is hard to see of what benefit this will be to the public. A few days ago Postmaster Murray received orders not to open the postoffice or distribute mail on that day and as he has received no later orders the office will not be opened. At Monticello the postmaster interpreted the order differently than it was here and the lobby will be open all day and mail will be distributed but holders of lock boxes only will be able to get their mail. At Michigan City and many other cities the same rule will be observed and all hut the general public, who have been accustomed to go to the general delivery window and get their mail, will be able to get their mail, as in the past, ——- It is hoped that by another Sunday the patrons of the Rensselaer postoffice will be able to enjoy the same privileges as their neighbors.

Left $5 Beneath Door to Help Presbyterian Organ Recital.

Mrs. John Eger, who with other ladies, has taken an active interest in the organ recital that dedicated the Forsythe memorial organ at the Presbyterian church, had a very agreeable surprise Friday morning when she found an envelope beneath her door in which was enclosed $5 with a note stating that it was for the benefit of the Tecital and could be used in any manner that the ladies deemed best A counsel of the managers was. held and it was decided to put the money in the ticket sale fund and to give admission tickets to the ministers of the city. Accordingly, Rev. and Mrs. Harper, Rev. and Mrs. Winn, Rev. and Mrs. Green, Father Christian Daniel and Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Fell were notified that they would be admitted free., at the recital. They wish through The Republican to express their hearty appreciation of the liberal aid thus given by some one to them unknown.

Organ Recital Netted $60.25 — Audience Appreciated Music.

The organ recital at the Presbyterian church Friday evening by which the beautiful new pipe organ given to the church by B. Forsythe, was dedicated, was quite largely attended and greatly appreciated by all who heard the superb playing of Mr. Hansen, the blind musician, and by the singing o's Miss Carson. The program was one of rare excellence and the music lovergpof the city-were given a rare treafTThe gross receipts for the recital were $94 and the net receipts $60.25. The money thus earned will go toward paying for the services of Miss Bel Laßue, who will be the regular organißt in the future and who has prepared herself by a special course of training. Mrs. S. L. Jordan, of Barkley township, went to Evanston, 111., this morning for a short visit witty her son, Rev. O. F. Jordan, who has just graduated from Chicago University, completing the course while caring for his ministry work at Evanston. On Monday Mrs. Jordan will attend a reunion of old residents of Sibley, 111., held at Jackson Park. - Richard Foulks was over from Monon today looking after some business matters. Richard is one of the kind of republicans that believes it is a mighty poor time to trade horses. Conditions look good enough to him and he thinks the republican style of progress is ail right an<f that there is pesky little use in framing up a new party to follow ambitions of one man, who advocates nothing with sincerity but everything with the aim of securing his personal aggrandizement. James Torbet, of Barkley township, was taken to Wesley hospital in Chicago Tuesday evening by Dr. A. R. Kresler, and is being treated there. He had a severe hemorrhage of the bowels and his condition was very serious when taken away, and he almost died before the hospital was reached. Since arriving there, however, he has been resting very well and is somewhat better. An ulceration of the lower bowel is the trouble and it is believed it can be relieved by an operation. A further diagnosis is to be made today and it will then, be decided whether dr not an operation will be advisable.

A Classified Adv. will rent it.

N. S. Bates Has Sold His Fruit Farm to J. W. Coen.

N. S. Bates, who for a number of years has been engaged in the strawberry and other small fruit and early yegetable business, has disposed of his fruit farm to J. W. Coen. There was five acres in the tract and the price paid was SI,OOO, which is cheap enough. Mr. Coen, it is understood, will give up Mis contracting business at the eMd of this year and devote his energies to the fruit business. He has 10 acres on the north gravel road, that almost adjoins the Bates tract which he bought. Mr. Bates was very successful in the fruit business and produced strawberries and raspberries that commanded the very top price and that were not surpassed by any fruit ever marketed here., He found the work too hard for him and decided to sell and either retire or seek some less active ,and laborious work.

Miss Minnie Scheurich is spending the day in Monticello. Mrs. Harvey Wood, Jr., is spending the day in Monticello. Mrs. R. C.

Hatton, of Whittier, Cali. ; went to Monticello today. From there they will go on down to Attica to attend the Hatton family reunion. Kenton Parkison and Abe Hardy returned today from Chicago, where Mrs. Parkison, who was operated on recently, is now in a hospital. She is getting along nicely and is making greater improvement than was ever dared to hope for. Mrs. W. R. Lee has made some improvement the last two days and present indications are that she will make still further improvement, although there seems little prospect of permanent relief. Brights disease and rheumatism are the cause of sickness. v Lillie, the 5-year-Md' daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David the former Monnett farm, west >f town, was playing with a cream separator at her home yesterday and caught the second finger of her right hand in the machine and cut it off down to the last joint. Mrs. Harvey Wood, Jr., was hostess Thursday at her country home, southeast of Renseslaer, to about sixteen lady friends. The occasion was given in honor of Miss Beatrice Tates, whose marriage to Elmer Wilcox will take place next Wednesday. The guests came about noon and an excellent picnic luncheon wa? spread on the lawn. The guests were transported by automobiles.'

WEATHER FORECAST. Generally fair tonight and Sunday.

Sentiment Changing.

Former Governor E. W. Hocb, of Kansas, in a public statement made last week, says: “Americans are fair people. The more they study the administration of President Taft the more they will Ilk# it. Between now and November they will give consideration to questions involved in this campaign. 1 look for an increasing tide of public opinion favorable to Mr. Taft. During my travels as a lecturer I have found this tide already setting in. “Taft has never had a square deal, especially from the one who talks the most about this great virtue. I believe the American people will practice what the alleged champion of this doctrine so vociferously preached and they will indorse Mr. Taft’s administration as it deserves to be. “This campaign will be 'a repetition of the one in 1896. If the election that year had occurred thirty or sixty days after the convention Mr. Bryan would have been elected. But the people got down to thinking then, as they will this time.’’ Most of the surrounding counties are holding their annual teachers’ institutes this week. Contrary to previous years, when institutes were held during the last week of August, Superintendent Ernest Lamson has deferred the date of the institute this year to October 7th to 11th. The reasons for doing hie are to give new teachers the opportunity to gain a few weeks’ practical experience in teaching and to come in contact with the problems that arise in the school rooms. In this way it is believed that they will be able to give more intelligent attention. Many teachers have not returned from normal schools and it would have been impossible for them to attend had the institute been held this week. Thi3 change is made in the nature of an experiment but will probably become permanent as it has proven successful in many counties which have tried it in previous years. It seems to meet the approval of the teachers and no doubt it will with the students, as they will gain a few days vacationEzra Fix was over from Boswell today to close a deal for the sale of his quarter section in Hanging Grove township, Willis A. Lutz engineered the sale and William L. Seltzer is the buyer.- The price paid was $75 per acre. Mr. Fix owned the farm for three years, having bought it of Frank Ham in 1909 for $65 per acre. The new owneVjwill pay the (fitch assessments. Mr. Fix has a farm near Boswell, which he had priced at S3OO per acre but be took it off the market the other d£y when a farm near that town sold for $2lO per acre. If a fellow don’t want to sell his farm in these good republican times he had better not put a price on ti. Jasper county farm land has doubled and trebled in price during the sixteen years of republican rule and a big lot of this increase has taken place during the administration of President Taft , \ f ' George Johnson is about again after a sickness that confined him to his home for about two weeks. He had a severe cake of lumbago.-
