HOSPITAL PROVING TO BE GOOD THING

Thirty-Six Have Received Treatment There, Mostly Undergoing Opperations Since Opening. Since the Rensselaer hospital was opened for business on Oct. Ist, thirty-six—persons have received treatment there, most of them undergoing operations, and the results have been extremely satisfactory to those who are connected with the institution and they say that the need of‘the hospital in the community has been thoroughly proven. At the present time all of the beds in the hospital are occupied, but arrangements are being made for more beds. There is still very much that is needed in the way of equipment and the hospital staff will be glad to accept and utilize any articles that are contributed by either individuals or organizations. They would especially welcome provision for the complete furnishing of rooms by churches, lodges or social orders of any kind. The plan to make the hospital a stock company, with all the doctors and a number of citizens shareholders, did not work out, and at the present time the staff of the hospital is composed of the following physicians and surgeons: Drs. E. N. Loy, C. E. Johnson, I. M. Washburn and F. H. Hemphill, of Rensselaer; Dr. Leslie Sharrer, of Francesville; Dr. E. Besser, of Remington; Dr. J. T. Martin, of Mt. Ayr; Dr. Stone, of Brook, and Dr. Morehouse, of Morocco. There is no arrangements for charity patients, owing to the fact that all of the beds are required for the pay patients, but the staff makes the proposition that they will take care of any who come, turning none away. Of charity patients all that they will ask is that provision be made for *their keeping and the Ynedlcal or surgical attention will be given free. It would be a Splendid thing if some charitable persons would take up the matter of furnishing one of the rooms for charity patients. A statement published in another paper to the effect that Drs. Washburn and Johnson were alone conducting the hospital is not authentic. The staff is just as published above.

Born, Sunday, Jan. 19th, to Mr. and Mrs. Jay W. Stockton, a son. The W. R. C. will Install their newly elected officers next Tuesday •afternoon at 2 o’clock. A full attendance is desired. Mrs. Bertha Bishop was operated on at the Rensselaer hospital Sunday and is getting along very well and indications point to her speedy recovery. There was a heavy rain Sunday night and a drizzle all of this morning. Between 12 and 1 o’clock today the rain turned to snow and now has the appearance of a blizzard, being accompanied by considerable wind. The forecaster again tells us that we will have a cold wave and notwithstanding the fact • that he has deceived us on several previous occasions we believe he has phophesied a sure thing this time. Mrs. Carrie Greenlee, who has been staying with Mrs. Hiram Day for quite a while, was compelled to go to the home of her mother, Mrs. Charles Potter, last Thursday afternoon on account pf sickness. She had grip some time ago but seemingly recovered enough to be about, but Thursday was taken with a relapse and is now confined to her home with grip and bronchitis. She is getting along as well as may be expected today. Samuel Bowen, whose wife, Goldie Bowen, was Wt year granted a divorce and given the custody of their child, Leon Roscoe Bowen, until further order of the court, has filed a request that he be given the child. The complaint sets out that the mother is not able to care for the child in her own home and permits it to be taimen from place to place and that is now with the mother’s brother at Frankfort. The father of the child says that he will be willing to give the child a good home and to care for it in the proper manner. The mother has for some time been employed in a hotel in this city. Some of the features of the R-C-H cj*r are most axle clearance of any. car, Warner auto-meter, tally-ho horn, center control, automatic sparker, straight line drive shaft, Bosch magneto, non-skid tires, Jiffy curtains, etc. And best of all, the car is sold for S9OO, fully equfpptu. This price includes everything. You do not buy the car and then have to spend two or three hundred dollars before you are ready to take a trip.

Little Daughter of Mrs. Mary Deer Died Suddenly

Amy Victoria Deen who was 13 years of age last Wednesday, died suddenly at 1 o’clock at the home of her mother, who occupied part of the Mrs. Sarah Platt residence on Van Rensselaer street. The child’s long sickness makes a pitiful story and to those who knew the bright and cheerful little girl her death has brought much sorrow. She was a twin of Amos Jennings Deer. The children ,were born in Monon and for most of the past nine years the family hate resided in Rensselaer, where the mother, herself none too strong, has made an effort to carry on the burden of providing for them. Amy was a very pretty and attractive little girl and prior to September, 1911, was in good health. At that time she broke down and was compelled to give up her school. She was weak and seemed to be suffering from a kidney and blood trouble. Almost a year ago she became very much worse for some tithe and was unable to leave her bed for several weeks. She became some better during the summer but no permanent relief could be secured. Two weeks ago last Thursday she became very much worse and during the past fortnight she suffered very much and death came as a relief Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock. Amy was devoted to Sunday school and had an almost perfect record of attendance until she became so weak that she could not longer walk to the church. She talked about the Sunday school and often said that she wished she was strong enough to go again. Mrs. Deer has three other children, the surviving twin, and, Mrs. Flossie Osborne, of Strawn, 111., who has been here aiding in the care of the sick girl for the past two weeks, and little Edward Fawley, 4 years of age. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock at the Platt residence, being conducted by Rev. W. G. Winn, of the Christian church . Burial will be made in the Praeter cemetery, in Barkley township, where another child of Mrs. Deer is buried.

Claud May Sale Postponed; Literally Flooded With Rain.

A big sale advertised to take place Monday, Jan. 20th, at Claud May’s farm, 9 miles south and 2% miles west of Rensselaer, was postponed on account of the heavy rain that took place Sunday night and continued Monday morning. The weather precluded all possibility of successfully conducting the sale and it was decided to postpone it and the sale will now be held next Saturday, Jan. 25th. Mr. May will sell 16 head of horses, 63 head of cattle and some hog? and sheep. f I

Louis Davisson Suffering Intensely From His Cancer.

Louis Davisson, who has had a cancer on his face for several years, has been suffering very much from it for some time. He called The Republican by telephone today to say that one of his eyes was now entirely gone and that the malignant growth is fast involving the other eye. Mr. Davidson’s voice sounds as clear as. a young man’s, over the telephone, and he is quite cheerful and trying to make the most of his sad affliction notwithstanding the agony he is experiencing.

Tea seed oil is the name applied to an oil expressed from the seed of the Camellia sasanqula. This is not the tea tree (Camellia then), nor can its leaves be used. It grows principally in Honan, but is found Wherever the wood oil tree grows. The seeds are. gathered in October, and the extracted oil usually reaches the market in Hankow about the middle of winter. It is used by the Chinese as a cooking oil

FOUR MARRIAGES SINCE SATURDAY

Market Took a Brace and Two Ministers and One Squire .Perform Several Ceremonies. K- Four marriage licenses were issued by County Clerk Perkins within the past few days and one of the couples called the clerk away from home Sunday to get a license and the accommodating clerk always goes the limit to help out a couple with a marriage bee buzzing in their bonnets. Jerry. Tullis, son of George W. Tullis, of Parr, and Miss Gwendoline Swain, of near Aix, daughter of B. Swain, procured a license Friday, and their wedding took place at the bride’s home Sunday at 12:30 o’clock. ~ Some twenty-five relatives and friends’witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. W. G. Winn, of the First Christian church. All partook of the splendid wedding repast following the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Tullis will reside on a farm in this county. Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the M. E. parsonage, Rev. C. L. Harper married Mr. Walter Harrison Bell and Miss Floe Ethel Wilhoit, both of Illinois. They will reside in this county, living on a farm west of Rensselaer. Rev. Harper was again called upon Sunday to marry another couple, it being the one for whom Clerk Perkins had opened his office to grant a license to. The bride was Miss Ella Smith, daughter of Louis Smith, of Rensselaer, and a sister of Mrs. Lee Richards. The groom was Charles Henry Holt, of Frankfort, a baggagemfin for the Coulter hotel of that place. They were accompanied to the parsonage by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Richards aryl the marriage ceremony took place at about 4 o’clock. Mis? Smith is a graduate of the Peru high school and of the Peru business college. They went to Frankfort on the night train and will take up their residence in that city. Mr. Holt is a large man, weighing about 200 pounds, while his wife is very small, weighing scarcely 85. Squire Irwin was not altogether left out in the marriage business. He officiated at a wedding just before noon today at his parlors in the Odd Fellows block. The couple came here from Chicago, presumably to avoid having their wedding known in the city or to escape the provision of an Illinois act that does not permit divorced persons to get married within a year. The groom, John R. Ong, 30' years of age, gave his occupation as a clerk, and the marriage license record shows that he was relieved of a former matrimonial alliance last November by means of divorce. The bride was Miss Gefthea A. Borgstrom, 29 years of age. They were a mighty nice and stylish looking couple.

FAIR EXCHANGE. A New Back for an Old One—How a Resident Made a Bad Back Strong. The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are Weak. You cannot reach the cause. Follow the example of this Rensselaer citizen. J. C. Carmichael, Webster & Vine Sts., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I suffered from lame back and sharp, shooting pains through my loins. The kidney secretions passed too frequently, especially at night, and thus my rest was broken. Nothing relieved me until I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills from Fendig’s Drug Store. This preparation not only corrected the kidney weakness but relieved my aches and pains and improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of all the praise given them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Stereopticon Views Used in Foreign Mission Movement.

The Foreign Mission society of the Christian church of Indiana is this year using some vitally interesting stepeopticon views that are very instructive and that furnish eloquent argument in behalf of liberal giving in support of the missionary fields. Rev. W. G. Winn, of the Rensselaer Christian church, used the views, 62 in number, and delivered a splendid appeal in behalf of the widespread preaching of the gospel. Mr. Winn was asked by the state officers of the church to give a week of his time in exhibiting, these Views and in lecturing on the missionary subject and this he promised to give. His itinerary has not been completed but on Tuesday evening he will go to Brook And deliver his first address. Dr. W. L. Myer handled the slides for him Sunday evening and will also accompany him to Brook for that purpose. Rev. Winn is very much devoted to the missionary work and hopes to be able fx> arouse the people of the prosperous places he visits into a realization of the great work that is to be done in many of our foreign fields.

SINGLETREE FOR AN ORCHARD

One Described and Illustrated That Has Been Used to Advantage In New York State. In response to a query regarding singletree for use in cultivating young trees, I will endeavor to describe one I have seen used to good advantage in .this section, writes Edwin Haight in the Rural New Yorker. The whiffletree is flat Instead of rounded and each end is rounded from the back edge. A heavy strap, usually a piece of trace, is then bolted, or securely fastened, along the back edge and around the rounded end, leaving an end to the strap of about 18 Inches or two feet, in which an iron ring is fastened, in which to hook the trace. I give a rough sketch of one end, show-

‘Strap For Orchard Singletree.

ing how strap is fastened to whiffletree. This trap should be made long enough to hook directly on the handle, if desired, leaving nothing but smooth leather to come in contact with the trees. \

Young Trees In Orchards.

Young trees planted in an old onchard very seldom give satisfaction. This Is largely for the reason that young trees need different care from old ones, and also because the young trees will hardly receive as much sunshine as they should because of the shade they will get from the older trees. * ***

Watering Plants.

. When you water your plants do not merely sprinkle a little with the watering pot. It Is better to take off the spout once a week and give the ground a thorough soaking.

A Moving Sermon.

"I once had a parishioner who was a miser,” said an English clergyman. “For this man’s benefit I preached one Sunday a s'rong sermon on the necessity of charity, of philanthropy—a sermon on the duty and the Joy of glv Ing. The miser, at whom I gazed “Next day I met him on the street “ ‘Well, John,’ I said, ‘what do you think of <Mterday*a sermon t “‘lt moved me deeply, sir,’ he answered. 'lt brought home to me so strongly the necessity of giving alms that honestly, sir, I’ve a great mind to turn beggar.’"

No, Brother, It Surely Must Have Been a Mistake.
