JOHN C. MARTINDALE ANSWERS SUMMONS

Prominent Farmer-Citizen and Former Commissioner Died After Long Sickness of Fistula. John C. Martindale, for many years a prominent resident of this city and county, died at 12:30 o’clock this Tuesday morning at his home on North Forest street, the old Spitler home. He had been almost totally helpless for the past year or more and for several weeks had been unable to leave the home. To his friends and members of the family it had seemed for a long time that his sickness could have nothing but a fatal termination but he seemed to feel certain that he was going td recover and made a brave fight to do so. His first trouble dates from thirteen years ago, when he had fistula growths. These were removed by operation and for four or five years he enjoyed excellent health. The trouble again asserted itself, however, and three years ago assumed a serious turn and had gradually destroyed his health. Naturally a strong man, Mb vitality was sapped by the disease and for many months he had been An invalid and almost entirely helpl&ss. His wife and daughter were constantly with him and did all in their power to restore him to health but this was impossible. Last Friday Mrs. Martindale gave the first expression of discouragement and told his wife that he was certain he could not recover and made some suggestions about his funeral and burial. Mr. Martindale was born\in Warren county, Ind., near Pine Village, on December 25th, 1845. He moved to Jasper county about 33 years ago and lived' for five years on the John Makeever farm. He then bought the farm on which he lived for so many years, in Newton township, northwest of Rensselaer. He moved from there to Rensselaer about five years ago, moving into the former M. L. Spitler property, which he purchased. For two years he served as a commissioner of Jasper county. His public and private life were above reproach and he was one of the most esteemed men of our community. Especially had he endeared himself to the old soldiers, wihom he used to entertain annually at his farm home and whom he alwhys treated on special occasions. Each Memorial Day he would buy a box or two of good cigars and pass them around among the “boys.” He was not in the army himself, having been only 15 years of age when the war broke out, but .he was always with the veterans in sympathy and one of his greatest pleasures was to try to make them happy. It is probable that no other man In the county who was not a soldier was nearer or dearer to them than John C. Martindale. He leaves a widow and two children, Jared B. and Nina D., both living in Rensselaer. Also two brothers and three sisters, all living in Indiana except one brother who is in California. The funeral will be held Thursday at the late residence at 2 o’clock p. m. It will, be conducted by Rev. Williams, of the Church of God, of Forest, Ind. Interment will be made in Weston cemetery.

MARTIN BOUND OVER TO CIRCUIT COURT

Man Charged With Assault With Intent to Kill Waived Hearing and Gave BalL George Martin, the Newland citizen who was arrested last Friday night on a charge of having attempted to murder his wife tihe night before, was brought before Justice Irwin Monday afternoon for a preliminary hearing. He waived trial and was bound over to the circuit court and admitted to bail. '' Martin is said to again be living with his wife and it is probable that she will be an unwilling witness against him.

TEACHERS PLEASED WITH THE INSTITUTE

Able Instructors Discuss Topics Vital to Success in Present Day Methods The Jasper County Teachers’ Institute held its opening session Monday afternoon at the M. E. church. Following the opening song, “America,” led by Miss Lyxavine Votaw, of Chicago, and devotional exercises conducted by the Rev. Parett, Prof. L. A. Pettenger, of the University Training Sohool, Bloomington, Ind., gave the opening lecture. Prof. Pittenger chose for his subject the “Teaching of English,” and taking up the phase of interpretation of the purpose of teaching English, he proceeded to show the purpose of teaching the Howe Fourth and Fifth Readers. Among many good things mentioned by Prof. Pittenger was the thought that English rightly taught gives the pupil a greater appreciation of the beautiful, and that to have appreciated something big means to have greater pleasures, to have larger sunsets, “to have life and have it more abundantly.” Also he brought out the thought that the appreciation should not be personal as was Byron’s; not simply of the home, as Burns’ or Whittier; not wholly of the nation, typified in Vergil and Lincoln, but that the greatest appreciation is universal, as shown in the Bible and in Shakespeare’s works. He next brought forth the idea that passing through the desire for the impossible, and improbable in literature, the purpose of the teacher should be to awaken the desire on the part of the pupil for the inevitable in literature aa seen in Ibsen, Shaw, and Shakespeare, in Hilton, Dante and the Bible. Following a short intermission, Prof. George Herbert Betts, of Cornell College, Mount Vernon, lowa,gave a very inspiring lecture to the teachers assembled. Pirof. Betts took up tb,e subject of “Attitude,” and in a pleasing introduction demonstrated how the measure of the teacher’s value is the way we “front out”, or the attitude the teacher takes toward growth, work, the school and the child in the school. •He ended with the thought which formed a logical conclusion to his discussion, that “what we as teachers would impress on the pupils, we must first make concrete in our own experience.” Jasper county is to be congratulated upon the able faculty which Superintendent Lamson has obtained and the prospects are good for a profitable week to all conhected with the work. The general public is invited to attend. All sessions are free.
