LONG SICKNESS ENDS IN MRS. LEE’S DEATH

Rheumatism and Brights Disease Com bine, to Destroy Life of Splendid Wife and Mother.

At about 1:30 o’clock this Monday morning death came into the home of Walter R. Lee, and left lifeless the body of the wife and mother who had long been an invalid and much of the time an intense sufferer. Death came following a weakness in the heart action that became apparent to the husband and mother and the attending physician at 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon and which gradually failed Amtil the end came. Mrs. Lee was conscious' until the last and died just as her husband at her request was changing her position in the bed. She was a patient sufferer and bore up during her long sickness with great fortitude, realizing for some time that the battle she was making was sure to be lost. Mrs. Lee suffered her first attack of rheumatism four years ago and trips to the sanitarium at Martinsville and to Colorado Springs afforded little if any relief. While at the latter place several months ago she suffered some heart trouble that made it necessary to bring her to a lower altitude. For some months the rheumatism had been improved, only to be followed with a more certain means of death, Brights disease. For two months or more she has failed rapidly and on severel occasions was very near to the point of death. Mrs. Lee’s maiden name was Rose B. Lutz. Her age was 37 years on the 22nd of last February. Her marriage to Walter R. Lee occurred 17 years ago last spring. She is survived by her husband and their three sons, Archie, aged 16; Cecil, aged 14, and Howard, aged 3. Also by her mother, Mrs. Laura Lutz, three sisters and two ..brothers, viz. Mrs. John Maxwell, Mrs. Irene Arnott and Willis A. and Walter O. Lutz,- of Rensselaer, and / • Mrs. Clara Bickford, of Colorado.

The funeral will be conducted at the Pfesbyterian church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, by Rev. J. C. Parrett.

NO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK; TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE

Early Holiday is Occasioned by Holding of Institute for All Teachers of Jasper County.

Next week will be a school holiday all over Jasper county and while the pupils are having a holiday, the teachers will attend the institute in Rensselaer. The schools of Rensselaer, Remington and Wheatfield, as well as all the district schools, will be closed.

While it; was planned to hold the institute in the Presbyterian church, it Is possible that another place will have to be selected, owing to the fact that the church is undergoing some repairs. This will - probably be the the best attended Institute ever held in the county and should at the same time be one of the best. The plan heretofore has been to hold the institutes the last week of August, but the hot weather has been a serious drawback to the best work and the experiment of /holding it during milder weather should prove beneficial to all concerned.

Prof. G. I. Christie, of Purdue University 5 will be here all next week and this is an assurance of a fine program. As he is engaged Jn agricultural extension work at the university, his instruction here will be of especial interest to the rural district teachers and patrons. On Thursday he will deliver a lecture and will have for his subject “Better Country Life Through the Country Schools." x

Jamie Willis and family and his mother returned yesterday from their automobile trip to Ohio, where they spent three weeks with relatives. Are you having any trouble getting good bread out of the flour you are using? If you are using flour made from new wheat, it is liable to be runny and unsatisfactory. We still have some old wheat flour, guaranteeing you perfect satisfaction and good bread. JOHN EGER. A brief letter from Miss Sadie Cody, of Beulah Heights, Oakland, Cali., states that she is purchasing a very pretty little bungalow in that city. Miss Cody says: “This is certainly the land of fruit and flowers and spring days. As someone has said ‘YOU'can’t toll the truth about California without exaggerating.’”

Word was received here Friday that Mrs. Mark Yeoman, of Kingman, Kansas, was very sick and could not live but a few hours. Her sister, Mrs. D. F. Grant, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. A. K. Yeoman, and Mrs. John Moore all left for there Friday afternoon. The Yeomans moved to Kansas from this county several years ago. She is a sister of I. N. Warren.

Another fight enlivened the Remington horse show Saturday night. We were unable to get the particulars, but it is understood that Ves Criswell, from southeast of Rensselaer, was drunk and flashed a revolver about and made all sorts of threats, holding the officers at bay for a time, until one of them got into a position to let him have a full arm swing, when Criswell is said to hav<* stretched full length on the ground with no fight left ip him.

Miss Ethel Myers, who has been a clerk at Rowles & Parker’s department store for the past year, has been compelled by poor health to' give up her position and she returned to her home at Kentland yesterday, where she will rest until she feels better. A week ago last Friday sjie fainted while at the store and } G. B. Porter found her unconscious behind the counter. Miss Myers made her home here with Mrs. Mary Pullins.

C. W. Platt last week completed the cement work for a cement house which Mrs. Eva Greenlee : is building near Gifford. It is 28x30 feet in dimensions and contains eight rooms. He will now build the ’ foundation for M. L. Hemphill's new house, just south of the M. P. Warner property in the east part of town, where Mr. Hemphill recently purchased 2% acres of land. McColly & Coen will do the carpenter work on the Hemphill house. Mr. Platt reports that he has much more work on hand than he can do. t-

Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker will speak in Rensselaer next Monday evening, October 7th and his address should be heard by voters of all parties and by all the women of the city. From all over the district comes word that Congressman Crumpacker is making a splendid address. And those who have heard him during the past sixteen years know that he always does make a good speech, filled with a full knowledge of the needs of the government, founded upon his own active experience in public life. Congressman Crumpacker is fair with all. He is not the representative of his party alone but of all the people of his district and the most scrutinizing search of the records will fail to disclose a single act; in the interest of monopoly or private privilege. Let every’reader of The Republican decide to hear his address and be on hand to receive this biennial report from the man they have eight timep returned to congress as their representative. I

J. FRANK HANLY WILL TALK FOR REPUBLICANS

Former Governor and Ardent Temperance Man Will Stump State in Fhvor of Winfield T. Durbin.

Realizing very well that there have always been a large number of people fooled by adroit deceptions of public men and the brazen falsifications of their supporters, it is often difficult to-determine who are sincere in their professions in behalf of great reforms. But some men stand but with great prominence as advocates of certain reforms and their deeds have proven their words and their position can not be mistaken. This is the case with a man like J. Frank Hanly, who called a special session of the legislature of the state and adopted a law providing for county option, the most advanced step ever taken in the cause of temperance in Indiana. And J. Frank Hanly has not deserted the cause of temperance reform. He has kept his ears to the ground and has watched political conditions in Indiana with a deep heart interest And he has come out flatfooted for the republican state platform and its candidates. He is for Winfield T. Durbin, because Durbin says he will do his utmost if elected to write county

option again on the statutes of the state. People who favor temperance progress can safely depend upon the judgment of J. Frank Hanly, whose decision to favor Durbin and the republican platform was made because he had confidence in its sincerity. Governor Hanly knows that it was Albert J. Beveridge who left county option out of the platfofm of 1910; he Xnows it was the influence of Albert J. Beveridge that caused republican defeat in 1908; he knows that Albert J. Beveridge is not and never has been a temperance man. We believe that thinking men who wish the cause of temperance to be advanced will accept the judgment of Governor Hanly and not be deceived as they were four years ago by the dexterous Tom Marshall.

GOODLAND DEFEATED WHEATFIELD SUNDAY

Monon Was Victorious Over DelphiFine Games Witnessed by Number of Rensselaer Fans.

A number of Rensselaer basebhll fans witnessed a ball game Sunday. Some went by auto to Wheatfield and witenssed the Goodland-Wheatfield game at that place, while others saw the Monon-Delphi game at the latter place. Goodland had stocked up for the game with the Wheatfield Regulars and had Carl Crandall, the Memphis league shortstop, whom Indianapolis drafted, playing third base. It was largely his heavy hitting that brought victory to the Goodland team. The final score was sto 4. Lou Jensen pitched a good game for the Regulars and was well supported. Tommy Jensen made two errors in the early part of the game but after that tightened up and put up a fine game. The score went seesaw from first to last and Wheatfield had a man on third base in the ninth and threatened to tie the score, but the side was retired before he got in. A large crowd attended the game, about three hundred Goodland fans going to Wheatfield on a special train.

Elmer Wilcox and Howard Clark Went to Delphi to play with Monon, but Clark was not used, the game being pitched by a man from Michigan City. He bad the Delphi Comers at his mercy about all the game and the final score was Monon 6, Delphi 2, Wilcox played first base for Monon and owing to his sprained ankle was not in good batting trim and did not connect as he usually has done. There were more than a thousand people at the game, the receips being $260.

Frank Brusnahan, formerly of Union Township, son of Tom Brusnahan, died Friday or Saturday at Ricardo, N Mex. No particulars hate been received by his uncle, S. A. Brusnahan, of Parr, but it is presumed that his death was a violent one.

Frank has been located at Ricardo for the past four years. Since he went there his father moved to Hamilton, N.,Dak. Frank was a school teacher for some years and then studied law, graduating from Valparaiso university. He is about 36 years of age. S. A.
