MISSING TAILOR DEAD AT BREMEN

William Lloyd, Reported Missing, Returned to His Home and Died of Brights Disease. William Lloyd, who worked fo* some time as a tailor for B. K. Zimmerman, and who recently moved with his family to Breman, where they had formerly lived, died last Thursday at that place and was buried Sunday. Friends of the family here received brief information of his death and burial. Brights disease was the cause of death. Some time ago it was reported that after the family had moved to Bre-, man they found that he had gone to, some unknown place and had apparently deserted them. llt is now said that he wandered away while suffering from the malady that caused his ,death, and that he came home only a short time before he died. As a bachelor Mr. Lloyd worked here for Mr. Zimmerman some years ago. He went away and when he returned he had a wife, and two stepchildren, Marie and Ulius Heckaman. He seemed to be devoted to them and they to him. His death will be mourned by all who knew himphere.

Conrad Kellner to Occupy New Residence on Tuesday.

Conrad Kellner has his new house on Grace street all completed except the installation of the furnace. He will move to the house Tuesday from the Mrs. Bussell residence, two doors west. His hhuse is a very nice one in arrangement and'4nish. It consists of eight rooms and a basement under the entire house. A large pantry, a large downstairs bathroom, an upstairs closet and lavatory and large clothing closets off each bedroom, make the house one of convenience and comfort. An open stairway, separated from the main living room by a colonnade, hardwood floors and fine hardwood finishings, were all done by the Delphi Lumber Co. The basement is divided into three rooms, one for vegetables, fruits, etc., one for a furnace room and the other for the suburban water power plant By means of an electric motor, which is automatically connected and disconnected by the pressure in the tanks, both hard and soft water are piped over the house. A large cement porch extends across the front of the house. Cement curbs to retain the earth that has been filled in for the yard are planned and a driveway just outside the curb on the east side of the house leads to the large new barn When the landscape plans are completed the home and surroundings will be one of the nicest in Rensselaer. Joe Long will move to the house which Mr. Kellner will vacate.

Rex’s Gift Was a Baby Pig, Which Little Girl Received.

The mystery surrounding Rex Warner’s gthite baby gift was revealed last Saturday evening when he gave away a white pig weighing about 30 pounds. The theatre was crowded and many stood out on the walk and tried to get a peep inside. A number seemed to think that he really had a real baby to give away. Miss Clay Nevill, daughter pf Henry Nevill, was awarded the prize, which proved to be a white pig, worth about $5.

FREE TOLL SERVICE ELECTION NIGHT

Jasper County Telephone Company Will Do All It Can to Ret the County News Early. The Jasper County Telephone Co. has thrown open its toll lines to the free use of the public Tuesday night for the purpose of securing election returns. An effort will be made to get into communication all over the county with phones near the voting precincts. The Republican wishes to get the news as early as possible and will appreciate any aid it receives from our fiends over the county. * The Central Union lines will not givh the election news free of charge this year as they have during some previous years. What effort wi’.l be made to get the news of the state and nation, we do not know. The Western Union*office will remain oven until 3 o'clock Wednesday morning to handle the telegrams to the Indianapolis newspapers from the local correspondents.

The Traitorous Star.

No paper ever published in Indiana has proven such a complete traitor to the convictions of its editor as The Indianapolis Star. And it always remains for traitors to became the meanest in their vile methods to discredit the party they have deserted. Last spring The Star advocated the nomination and election of President Taft, as a matter of honest desert and he was eulogized for his administration. Then the paper changed to Roosevelt as a matter of policy, saying he could be'more easily elected. Then the paper made a complete flop and went bull moosing. That its first expressions in favor of Taft were its honest convictions, there can be no doubt. That its later desertion oi Taft and adoption of the cause ol Roosevelt was inspired by some dishonest motive is also quite certain. Whether it was so much cold cash, so much promise of reward, the expectation of a better business or the belief that it was popularizing itself, probably only the editors and the box office managers know, but The Star has not let an opportunity slip to use its power of abuse and invective against the man whom it declared both able and worthy. It remained for The Star to undertake to claim that republican newspapers were responsible for the maniac’s attempt to assassinate Roosevelt. It remained" for The Star and Louie Ludlow, its staunch democratic correspondent* at Washington to try to make the death of Vice-President Sherman the means of exciting suspicion that the national committee would select in Ms place some well known traitor who would make It his special business to thwart the wishes of the people. In previous years The Star has always had the strong appearance of being on a strictly commercial basis with its editorial policy and it looks like a clear case against that paper this year. Its influence is evidently being paid for by some one. During the past week the mails have been flooded with The Star. It has been filled with politics in support of Roosevelt and Beveridge and against Taft and Durbin. The readers of that paper should not be influenced by it/ however, for it is quite certain that it is insincere in its political position, and we do not believe that the honest voters of the country will want to accept the recommendation of any newspapers wbose opinions are on a commercial footing.

These Men Should Help You Decide.

LaFollette is a real progressive. He says that the republican party is responsive for the progressive legislation in this country and .that the defeat of the party means 4 severe setback for the cause of real advancement. He says that Roosevelt was always a reactionary and never aided one bit of real progressive legislation. Senator LaFollette says that he believes that the republican party can and will enact more wholesome laws for the good of all the people than the so-called progressive party. He believes that the fight for progress should be made within the party and not outside of it. And you can depend upon the judgment of Senator LaFollette. J. Frank Hanly, who called the special session of the state legislature that passed a county local option law. says that the republican party in Indiana can be depended upon to again pass that law, so dishonorably repealed by To|s Marshall and his supporters. He sdys that Beveridge is. not a temperance man, never aided the cause In Indiana and was rsponsfble for the party failing tp adopt a county option plank two years ago. And you can depend upon the judgment of J. Frank Hanley on the temperance question. • The leading progressive In the United States favors the election of Taft. The leading temperance man in Indiana favors the election of Durbin. Mr. Voter, can’t you get a pretty clear idea as to what your duty Is from these men?

Rev. Winn preached to a crowded house Sunday night at the Presbyterian church. People were standing during the entire services. This speaks well of our union services and they start out very promising. His text whs Revelation, chapter 16, verse 16, which reads: “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” The speaker cal led us alt to do service for God and line up for the cause of right and battle for the Lord. It was a strong sermon. Corn husking will begin in earnest this week. There has been some husking during the last two weeks, but the corn is not very dry yet and needs a hig freeze to dry it out. The busks cling with unusual tenacity to the corn this year and a large number of sprained wrists are reported. Saturday the huskers were about all buying husking pegs, preparatory to starting at the work this morning. Within a few days now the champion husker stories will begin to buzz and challenges will be flaunted to the breeze. Who will be the first husk a hundred bushels in a day? Let’s get things started.

WEATHER FORECAST. Generally fair tonight and Tuesday; warmer tonight

Mr. and Mrs. Robert MoQreggor, of Chicago, returned to their home yesterday after a visit since last Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. Kenton ParkIson. Robert made his home for some time when a boy with Rev. A. G. Work and graduated from the high school in Rensselaer in 1904. He is now a city salesman in Chicago for the American Steel and Wire Co. They have a little son, two years old, but did not bring him here with them. Bob was quite a clever football player when he went to high school here and he was a disappointed spectator at Rensselaer’s defeat last Saturday. We unloaded a car of “Aristos” flour last week and are unloading a car of “Lord's Best” this week, making our forteenth car since Jan. 1, 1912. More flour that all the balance of the merchants in the city have handled in the same length of time. Quality and price is what sells it “Lord’s Best” $1.30 and “Aristos.” the perfect flour, $1.35. JOHN EGER.
