BUTTER MAKING BY DEXTER CREAMERY

Chicago Factory is Crowded and Owner May Decide to Put in Plant in Rensselaer.

W. H. Dexter, who owns the cream . buying station in Rensselaer, was here this week and reported that his Chicago factory is Tibwcrowded to the very limit of its capacity and that the day before he was here they had manufactured 2,000 pounds of butter. The Rensselaer station is the best one Mr. Dexter has and has held up remarkably well even during the winter months and as Mr. Dexter owns a building here that would be admirably suitjed to the butter making business he expressed the probability that he will install butter making machinery and begin manufacture in the spring. The building he would use for this purpose is the former Maloy building at the Main street railroad crossing. Whether or not the Washington street station will be closed when the factory is started has not been decided but it is quite probable. The local station has been in charge of W. E. Harris ever since Mr. Dexter entered the field here. He i 3 an energetic and hustling manager. He has never learned the\ butter making trade but expects to do so if the plans to put the factory in here is carried out. The factory will furnish employment for two or three more men, andjt is probable it will further inspire the dairying interests of the county.

It was decided Friday evening to take the body of Mrs. Benjamin J. Gifford to Kankakee, 111., and after the funeral to place it in a vault there until such later time as the disposal shall be decided upon. Mr. Gifford was not in condition to take any part in planning the arrangements and it was decided by the assembled relatives and friends that permanent burial would not be made for the present, and it is hoped that Mr. Gifford will soon be in condition to express his wish in regard to this matter. - A number of relatives and many friends came here in response to the telegrams sent out. Mrs. Anna Martindale, a sister-in-law, of Chicago; Mrs. E. M. Duke, a niece, of Ann Arbor; Miss May Gifford, a sister of Mr. Gifford, and Miss Grace Reed, a friend, of Chicago, and George Gifford, a cousin of Mr. Gifford, from Tipton. All of these accompanied the body to Kankakee, as did Mr. and Mrs. Gifford Marrs, of McCoysburg; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Callahan and N. G.' Halsey, of Rensselaer; Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Hobbs and C. E. Kersey, of Kersey. The funeral at Kankakee will be held in the Methodist Episcopal church and will be in charge of the Woman’s Club, of which she was a member. The pallbearers were F. E. Lewis, C. J. Hobbs, Tom Callahan, Gifford Marrs, C. E. Kersey and N. G. Halsey, all men who have long been associated with Mr. Gifford in his Jasper county affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gifford, of Barkley township, were unable to go to Kankakee, owing to sickness in their home, but they were at the train this morning when the funeral cortege departed. A great many Rensselaer people have expressed the wish that arrangements had been made for the burial of Mrs. Gifford here in Rensselaer, because, they believe Mr. Gifford, when his life’s work is completed, should be buried in this city. For here he has contributed so valuable a work in reclaiming and putting to use much land that for years was a total waste. A gentleman called at The Republican office Friday to say that Jasper county could well to erect a monument to the memory of Benjamin J. Giftord. Inasmuch as Mr. Gifford had entirely closed out his business in Illinois and located here several months ago it is not improbable that it will be his wish that the body be interred here, when he is sufficiently recovered to give the matter consideration. There is little, if any, change in his condition today. Miss Mattie Hemphill, the trained nurse who has been caring for him, was unable to do so u’nassisted and the attending physician called a nurse from Chicago who arrived last night and both will now be employed on the case. Some of the relatives who accompanied the body of Mrs. Gifford to Kankakee, will return here and with his confidential secretary, N. G. Halsey, give attention to the further welfare of Mr. Gifford and his business affairs.

PENAL FARM MIGHT BE A GOOD THING

Governor Said to Favor Establishment of Farm Where Short-term Prisoners Can Work.

A penal farm is proposed for Indiana. A commission headed by Senator Netterville will make a report favoring its establishment and Governor Ralston is said to approve it. It is proposed to buy not less than 500 acres of land in some locality yet to be selected, paying \in the neighborhood of $50,000 for it. Buildings required will cost $20,000 more and stock and equipment about SIO,OOO. The maintenance of the farm will be by legislative appropriation. The bill will propose that short-time prisoners in the jails be sent to the farm and required to work.

‘ It is a well known fact that many drunks and other minor law violators are not punished now because if given jail sentences the burden falls upon the taxpayers. If drunks were confronted with 30-day jail sentences and the knowledge that they would be required to work it out on a farm they would doubtless restrain themselves more. Take the situation in Rensselaer now. for example. Ed Fawley, a strapping big fellow, is eating at the expense of the taxpayers for al most a year, simply because there is no penal institution where he can be sent. His crime was against the state and not the-county, and yet the county is bearing all the expense because of the sentence given him. The proposed law looks like it would be a mighty good thing. A bill was introduced Wednesday"by Senator Yarling which proposes a sensible amendment to the registration law. It is proposed that voters who are away from home at the time of registration may file affidavits that will permit them to vote. Senator Yarling would also reduce the pay of members of the registration boards from $4 to $2 per day. Another bill proposes that fire men and brakemen must have had at least two years’ experience before they are entitled to become engineers or conductors. Senator Wood offered a bill making the county surveyor responsible under a single bond.

Traveling Sales Lady Observes Many Changes Here.

Mrs. Frances W. Moody is a traveling saleslady who hhs for some nine years been making trips to Rensselaer. However, for the past five years, she had not been traveling this territory until this week, when she again paid a visit to merchants. Mrs. Moody lives at Peru, and travels for the National Glove and Mitten Co., of Kokomo. Among customers who have gone out of business since her visit here five years ago she mentioned Louis Wildberg, B. Forsythe and E. Y. Ransford. She paid a high tribute to Mr. Wildberg, whom she said, was one of the kindliest men she had ever met in her experience as a traveling saleslady. Mrs. Moody mentioned changes in the city and said that the new depot was an important advantage, adding 100 per cent to the first impression of any traveler. She now expects to make Rensselaer two or three times a year.

BROUGHT $100 CUP AS TURKEY PRIZE

Emmet Pullin Won Five Firets and Three Seconds at Bronse Turkey Exhibit at Indianapolis.

Emmet Pullin, of Jasper county, unquestionably ranks at the very top of fancy poultry breeders. This fact was proven by his complete success at Chicago, Louisville and Indianapolis shows. In Chicago he did not exhibit his BronzA turkeys and at Indianapolis he did not exhibit his Barred Rocks, but whenever exhibited they simply cleaned the platter. At the Indianapolis show which was held this week he received five first prizes on his Bronze turkeys, getting first in every class in which he exhibited. He also got three seconds and two thiids. He sold at fancy prices the three pullets he exhibited and took a number of orders for eggs. v The special prize of greatest satisfaction and value was the SIOO cup, which was given him for the finest display of bronze turkeys. This cup is now on display in the A. F. Long drug store. The Barred Rock show will take place in Indianapolis next week, but Mr. Pullin will not exhibit hjs birds, for the reason that some of his most valuable ones are now laying and some ar setting. As these eggs are worth from $lO to $25 a setting he don’t care to disturb them. He has had plenty of advertising, anyway, to dispose of all the stock and eggs he cares to sell this year. His cash prizes for hfs bronze turkeys amounted to sl9.

Traveling Salesman Broke Leg at Roller Skating Rink.

Harold Yerrill, of Goodland, a traveling piano salesman, broke the large bone of his .right leg four inches above the ankle and also the ankle itself while skating at the Monticello skating rink Thursday afternoon. The Monticello Journal describes the accident as follows; “He was skating along on the floor and caught a steam pipe along the wall to whirl hlmself around to skate backwards. From some reason or other his foot shot in between the pipe and wall and the momentum of his body was so great that he could not check himself. As a result he fell, the ankle was brok en and the bone shattered. An ambulance basket was procured and he was taken to his room in Wm. Moore’s flat, over the Biederwolf & Merideth office. Dr. Clay was called to minister to his sufferings and reduce the fracture.”
