FACTS AND FICTION

Experiences of Rensselaer Citizens Are Easily Proven to Be Facts v The most superficial investigation will prove that the following statement from a resident of Rensselaer is true. Read it and compare evidence from Rensselaer people with testimony of strangers living so far away you cannot investigate the facts of the case. Many more citizens of Rensselaer endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills. Nelson Randle, N. Main St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times when suffering from a lame and acking back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I was led to procure this remedy at Fendig’s Drug Store, by reading about its good work in similar cases. Relief soon followed its use and the backache and kidney difficulties were finally disposed of, Whenever I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then they have lived up to representations. I do not know of a case where this remedy failed to prove of benefit.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents, Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.

Frank Maloy’s Little Daughter is Very Ill.

For two or three days Catherine, the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Maloy, of Lowell, has been very sick and at this time there is only a very small chance of saving her life. One day last week Catherine accompanied her mother to Chicago and after her return that evening she became very sick and her fever reached 106. It was at first believed that something she had eaten had caused ptomaine poisoning .but was later decided that the sickness was of a germ nature and she was treated with antitoxin. The physicians held out no hope to the parents and Sunday morning the grandmother, Mrs. Michael Eger, and daughter, Miss Lizzie, went there from Rensselaer. They returned at 11:09 today, with the news'that the child a trifle brighter but recovery was still regarded as only a remote chance.

College Boys and Girls Are Here to Spendl Tuletide With Their Parents and Friends. The college boys and girls are home for the Christmas vacation and the hearts of many parents are glad to have their children again with them.

Ethel Rodman’s Family Saw Many Hardships.

Ethel Rodman, the 17-year-old girl who suicided at Michigan City last week, - was buried at Hobart Sunday. The Lake County Times publishes a story of her hardships and discouragements. / Her father was a" small farmer. He suffered a stroke of paralysis and the burden of providing for five children fell on the mother, who took in washing. The fathfer -went to the poorhouse and died. The mother broke down with her work and went to her- reward last July. There was plenty of work and good wages, but nevertheless the Rodman family suffered because no one came to the help of the distressed family. “Don’t make them improvident by giving them aid, tqach them to help themselves,” was Hie implied attitude of the public. Ethel was pretty and a little aid would have rescued her, but the effort was not made and Ethel could see only the dark places in the future. The outlook discouraged her and she jumped from a bridge into the lake. A little charity might have saved her.

Can’t Stop Carrying Beer at Hammond

John Peterson, of Hammond, was having a house built in that city and was paying union labor wages. An old man named Liddington carried beer to the workmen and they quit work and drank it on Peterson’s time. He ordered Liddington not to carry the beer and when the old man repeated the act he caught him and pitched him out of the house onto a lumber pile. The old man’s leg was broken and his doctor said he wbuld be crippled for life. He sued Peterson and the jury gave hifff a $3,000 judgment. The evidence is strong that the beer drinkers are going to have their M ay in Hammond and it costs like sixty to interfere.

Obituary of J. V. Parkison.

Joseph Y. J’krkison, the sixth of a family of eleven children born to John G. and Matilda Kenton Parkison, was born in Logan county, O, may 16, 1829. He died at ißucklin, Kans., Dec. 18, 1912, aged 83 years, 7 months and 2 days. He moved with his parents to Indiana in the year 1837 and settled in Barkley township, where he resided until the year 1903, when he moved to Kansas, and has resided there until the time of his death. He was united in marriage to Fannie Kenton Oct. 23, 1851. To •this union nine children were born, six daughters and three sons, two sons dying in infancy and a daughter died Oct. 19, 1887, at the age of 19 years. Mr. Parkison has been a man of strong constitution and of influence in .his active days, being one of Jasper county’s pioneers, a successful farmer and stockman. He was a charter member of the Masonic order of Rensselaer. He leaves a wife, children, Mrs. Alfred Collins and Wallace, of Bucklin, Kans.; Mrs. Bruce Porter, of Mt. Vernon, S. Dak.; Mrs. Walter V. Porter, of Rensselaer; Mrs. Jocie Milligan, of Garnet, Kansas, , and Mrs. Frank Yeoman, of Kaw, Kansas Also twefity-three grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn this loss. Services were conducted from Trinity M. E. church, Rensselaer, by Revs. J. C. Parret, of the Presbyterian church, and C. L. Harper, of the Methodist church. Miss Helen Meader, of Union township, started to Rensselaer Saturday on a shopping trip and after arriving in town in her father’s automobile she discovered that she had lost her purse containing $36, one bill each of the following denominations, S2O, $lO, $5 and sl. She at once placed an advertisement in The Republican. The money was found by Miss Cora Dexter, one of the Rensselaer school teachers, whose parents, ML and Mrs. H. J. Dexter, are neighbors of the Meaders. The purse had been lost out of the automobile near the Meader p home. It was restored to her Sunday, very much to her delight. Roy C. Stephenson is home from Bonesteel, S. Dak., for a Christmas vacation that is quite certain to terminate in him having company when he returns to the northwest and for the balance of his life. Roy has made good progress in the railroad business and for some time has been a conductor on a short local run on the Northwestern. Railroad business in the west has not been so good, however, as usual, owing largely to the fact that the weather has been so good. They usually prepare for bad weather and if it does not come not nearly so many hands are employed. Oil is burned instead of coal in the engines and this reduces the labor materially.

Stanton J. Pelle, formerly of Indianapolis, chief justice of the United States court of claims, called on President Taft Wednesday and gave him formal notice that he expects to retire in February.
