SELLING STOCK IN RENSSELAER HOSPITAL

Capitalized at $2,000 With Shares of . Non-Interest Drawing Stock — l —of SSO Each. I A meeting of the doctors of the county and others in nearby towns was held this week to complete plans for incorporating the Rensselaer hospital. The plan submitted and agreed upon is to capitalize it at $2,000, divided into forty shares of SSO each or a few more shares and proportionately of less value if they are desired. Subscription papers have been drawn up and placed in the hands of the physicians and druggists and persons who are able to do se will be asked to purchase one or two shares in the worthy enterprise. No stockholder will be allowed to have more than two shares. The subscription paper provides that the stockholders will not be allowed any dividends on this stock and any money that may accrue from the earnings will be used for equipment and extensions. The association being incorporated, relieves the individual stockholder from any personal liability beyond the value of his stock. The plan puts the hospital, as it should be, on a non-conuneroial basis. It is not aimed to make any money' out of it, and this fact should be sufficient to encourage persons who are able to purchase a share of stock to help the worthy institution along. A number have already subscribed and there is every indication of the stock all being taken before long. All Rensselaer physicians are to be interested in the hospital.

NEW SCHEDULE IN EFFECT SUNDAY

Motion Makes Several Slight Changes to Conform to Reduced Time of Fast Trains. The Monon railroad will put into effect a new schedule, Sunday, Nov. 24th. The changes of time were made necessary in rearranging the schedule to conform to the reduced time of trains between Cincinnati and Indianapolis and Chicago. It is impossible to maintain fast schedules in the winter time and the difficulty to maintain them during the summer months is a big argument in favor of lengthening the travel time during the winter. There is much talk now by many roads of giving up the mad rate of travel that has resulted from the intense rivalry of the past few years and to run the trains on a saner and safer schedule. The step by the Monon is quite proper. The travel time between Chicago and Cincinnati will be increased about a half hour. The new schedule will be as follows: Southbound trains.

Rev Morrow spoke last night to a large audience. His message was delivered in an earnest manner, Ills appeal to the people to turn from sin and seek salvation carried with it the ring of an anxious soul appealing to lost humanity to turn , from the world and seek the one and only true God. The congregational singing, led by the splendid chorus, and the solo rendered by Miss Berry is well worth, to any soul, the time spent under its influence. This is the last night, Friday night, before the closing services on Sunday. We want your presence for the inspiration it will add to the meeting and the uplift your soul will .receive will make it worth your while to be present Rev. Winn will preach tonight on “The Bum mil m Bonum in life.”

JUNGLES DITCH ENTERS GIFFORD.

Contract Also Calls For Cleaning About a Mile and a Half of the Gifford Ditch." The Jungles ditch proper will be completed some time tonight (Friday). Contractor John Hack came down from Lowell Thursday evening and today went to the scene of the ditching and will be on hand when the entrance to the Gifford ditch is made. The contract will not be completed, however, with the connection, for the cleaning the Gifford ditch for a mile and a half, where it will connect up with a point where- the Sternberg dredge cleaned the ditch about five years ago and which is three-fourths of a mile north and east of the point where 'the Gifford ditch enters the Iroquois, which is near the Pullins’ bridge. The digging of the Jungles ditch has been fraught with many hardships. The big sand hill proved a constant source of trouble and had to be gone over a second time and part of it several times. Mr.- Hack says he will never again tackle a ditch of this character. . At the mouth of the Gifford ditch the Iroquois is badly clogged with the sand and washed soil from above. It should be cleaned again while the Hack dredge is there to do the work. There is a bad lot of muck soil in that neighborhood and Charles Sternberg, the Iroquois ditch contractor, today related how difficult he found it to keep the work down to specifications long enough to have it finally accepted. It will be remembered that he went over two or three miles of the ditch a second time, notwithstanding the fact that he had fulfilled the specifications the first time and had the ditch all but finally accepted. The dirt taken from the channel sank right into the loose muck and forced theNinder ground back into the channel. On the second digging the channel was dug 3 feet deeper than the specifications required but it was again necessary at one point to shovel the dirt Tout before it was finally accepted. 1 It is quite probable that considerable sand will wash from the Jungles ditch to the Iroquois when we have high waters again and it will doubtless require a number of cleans ings at the mouth of the Gifford ditch before the channel can be kept open.

DEMOTE BOY KILLED BY THE FAMILY COW

8-Year-Old Son of Charles Haskins H:id Rope A limit Waist —Cow Ran and He Was Killed. The 8-year-old son of Charles Haskins and wife, of DeMotte, was killed this Friday morning at about 8 o’clock in the same manner that many other boys have met their deaths, although this is the first, case, we have known of in this county. The lad had gone to the pasture to get the family cow, which was very gentle and which he was in the habit of riding He had fastened the rope, one end of which was about the cow’s neck, ‘to his body and was mounted on the cow when she started to run. He was thrown off and dragged aldng the road a distance of probably 300 yards. When picked up by persons who had seen the cow running life was extinct. Haskins lives in town and the cow was kept in a pasture about a mile south of town, near which place the boy met his death. Dr. Wells, of DeMotte, was called and he decided that Coroner Wright had better pass on the case and Mr. Wright* left for that place by auto this afternoon at about 3 o’clock.

SCARLET FEVER; THREE IN FAMILY

O’Meara Sehool Closed Because of Disease in Family of J. F. Nelson, Near Rensselaer. Three cases of scarlet fever in the family of J. F. Nelson, southeast of reported by the family physician, * caused the family to be placed under quarantine and the O’Meara school, which the children attended, to be closed this Friday morning. The cases are not severe and apparently the disease is in a mild form. There are four children in the family. One has not yet taken down with the disease. This child was in school Thursday. It is not probable that there will be any spread of the disease, and the prompt precautions taken will operate to stamp it out/ The only other case of scarlet fever that has been in this city or near to It, was that of Basil Leech, and there is nothing to show a connection between the two. The Leech boy had a quite severe case and has been under quarantine for a little over two weeks. He is recovering now and it is hoped to release him from the quarantine by the first of the week. The scaling off period is the one most dangerous for spreading the disease and the doctors will be very cautious about releasing any person afflicted until all danger of communicating the disease is past. A girl named Chambers, who lives ih the Sharon neighborhood, was at the Nelson home some ten days ago. She had a very sore throat but was not broken out. It is thought possible that the Nelson children may have contracted the disease from her. Mrs. Willard Shields, whose home is in Wabash, Ind., has been at the Hahnemann hospital, in Chicago, for the past four weeks for a surgical operation for the relief of a chronic trouble of long standing. This is her third trip to the hospital since their removal from here to Wabash some eight years ago. A speedy and complete recovery is now confidently hoped for by her friends and relatives.
