Obituary of Gerhard H. Alberding.

Gerhard H. Alberding was born March 12th, 1840, Wildeshansen, Oldenburg, Germany, and departed this life December 28th, 1912, of pneumonia, at the well-preserved age of 72 years, 9 months and 16 days.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Ernest Bremon, at the Lutheran church, San Pierre, Ind., on Dec. 31st, 1912. After the funeral service the remains were laid to rest in ithe cemetery at San Pierre by the side of his father. He was the second youngest child n the family oi four children of Mr. and Mrs. August H. Alberding, two brothers preceding him .in death. Herman died in Ripley county, this, state, and was kt one time in business at San Pierre, and will be well remembered by the survivors of the early settlers. Fred lost his life in the army serving the union. One sister, Mrs. Dora Kock, aged 84 years, of Campbell, Neb., survives. In January, 1866, he was married to Gensine Luken, at the Evangelist Lutheran church, Oldenburg, Germany, to which union were born eleven children, four departing this life in infancy. July 8, 1868, father, wife and baby daughter left their native country and landed at San Pierre, Ind., in July, where his brother, Herman, and father were then living, and in a few days moved on a farm near San Pierre in Cass township, Pulaski county, Indiana, and it has been their home all of the 44 years, and where the mother still resides.

He was a good and loving father and husband, greatly devoted to his home, wife and children, his devotion extending not only to his own children, but to those that came to him in the dark days of distress and needed aid, to those he administered comfort. And there has been taken from our midst a loving husband and father, and a kind neighbor, leading us in the path of righteousness. He leaves a wife, seven children, one sister, nineteen grandchildren and other relatives, with a host of friends to mourn his death. His children surviving are, Mrs. Katie Menge, San Pierre; Mrs. Dora Knofs, Medaryville; Herman, Winamac; A. H. Alberding, Salem, Ind.; Henry F. Alberding, North Judson, Ind; George J. Alberding, Logansport, Ind., and Charlie J. Alberding, of San Pierre, Ind.

Card of Thanks.

Mrs. Gerhard Alberding and children take this means of extending their sincere thanks to their kind friends and neighbors for the many acts of kindness incident to the death and burial of husband and father; also to the choir for the beautiful songs.

TIP THEIR HATS TO TOM TAGGART

Wily Politician and Boss Gets Ovation When Democrats Hear Towne’s Eulogies. The democrats of Indiana furnished proof Wednesday night at the big Jackson dinner in Indianapolis that there is one party that intends to cling to the boss and the machine.

The banquet was given by the Old Hickory Club at the Murat Temple and something like a thousand democrats from all over Indiana were present. The principal speaker was Chas. A Towne, who made good as a politician in Minnesota and then went to New York to mix it up with the Tammany crowd and who seems to be getting away with it in good shape. He is a smooth orator and knows where to strike a responsive chord. He brought tidings of great joy from New York, where William Sulzer was elected governor, to the democrats of Indiana who had elected Samuel Ralston. Cheers followed. He brought greetings from the neighbors of Woodrow Wilson to the constituency of Thos. R. Marshall and was cheered again. But when he spoke of “my old pal,” Tom Taggart” the democrats went into an ecstacy of shouts that concontinued long and proved that Tom is the real idol.

It might be proper to speak of him as the “invisible” government, for his hand has been shown throughout the administration of Governor Marshall. It was Tom who planned so skillfully the defeat of county local option; it was Tom who nominated Samuel Ralston for governor with a pledge to the brewers of the state that there would be a further loosening of the strings of temperance; it was Tom who schemed the nomination of Marshall for vice-president and it is Tom who dictates legislation, hands out the jobs, and maintains, the machine that has become so powerful that even good men like Mr. Ralston must pay their respects to it or expect no reward. It is Tom, too, who has furnished the smooth bluff whenever any effort was made to Inquire into the gambling casinos at French Lick Springs. Tom came out in a denial that he has any interest in the gambling resorts and he made it so strong that his name has never been mentioned in connection with the joints since last summer. The bluff was so strong, too, that the joints have had a season of unrestrained prosperity. That power exists some place to keep them going is certain, for every effort that has been made, and there has been no sincere effort during Governor Marshall’s administration, has failed, and French Lick is said to be the widest open gambling resort in the United States. If it is not Taggart, who is it? It is a job that the ne wgovernor, who is reputec to be a man of clean life and good morals, should take up as soon as he is inaugurated. The fact that Taggart was so lustily cheered at the Jackson dinner is certain proof that the boss and the machine politician is still basking in the approval of the people, notwithstanding the great wave of criticism that swept over the country during the bast year. You nave to hand it to Tom. He gets away with the job and makes everybody like it

Church of God. From disappointment in getting repairs done for properly heating the house, there will be no services at the Church of God on next Sunday, as was previously announced. Two little boys near Boone Grove ate glass. Today they are alive and well, but the parents were given the scare of their lives. Harry and Reginald Hildreth, sons of Loren Hildreth, obtained possession of the family sausage mill Monday, and, when no one was near, ground up a quantity of glass. A little later Mrs. Hildreth used the machine for the purpose for which it was intended. Then the boys ate some of the sausage and it was discovered that it had a mixture of glass. A doctor was hurried to the scene and gave the lads a dose to induce vomiting, which brought relief. McColly & Coen and their force of carpenters Monday of this week completed the building of a new house and a new barn for J. J. Hunt on his large farm south of Medaryville and across the line in Pulaski county. Jud has upwards of 1,000 acres of land in Gillam township, this county, and in White Post township, Pulaski county, and he is putting it all in the very best shape, too. The house he had built consists of 8 rooms and a basement under the entire house. The barn is a large one, being 30x36 feet in dimensions.

Mayor Knotts, of Gary, frequently charged with grafting and recently a conspicuous figure in the heating plant franchise scandal, is to be given a big banquet tonight by the Gary Commercial Club. HonJohn B. Peterson, democratic con-gressman-elect, will be the principal speaker and will laud Knotts to the skies. It don’t seem to make any difference what kind of a man a fellow Is if he gets away with it. Order your Calling Cards at The Republican office.

The senior English class are reading “Holmes’ Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.”

The seniors have been trying to decide on their class pins or rings for this Year. They proposed to the rest of the high School students that a uniform emblem be selected for the entire school and have the same pin each year but with different numerals and allowing only the seniors to wear these pins.
