Jasper county boys scattered oter almost every state in the natftm have brought fame to themselves and honor to their old homes by their accomplishments, but it is not the boys alone who succeed. The girls are also achieving success. A recent example of a girl who has made good is Miss Minnie D. Alter, daughter of Lewis S. Alter, of Carpenter township. She graduated as a nurse from the Home Hospital at Lafayette less than two years ago. She has had almost steady employment since that time and has given good satisfaction. Recently an assistant superintendent of the hospital at the state soldiers’ home near Lafayette, was needed, and unsolicited the place was offered to Miss Alter. There were a score of applicants btft Miss Alter was chosen. There are a large number of asslstantf nurses at thg hpspital and also a training class, in addition to 330 patients. She is proving her ability to handle the responsible posi-i tion. In a private letter Miss Alter wrote: “When I first Came here it seemed odd to have graduate nurses, much older in business than I, and old, gray-headed men report to me.” Miss Alter was offered a position in the Rensselaer hospital but declined it.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED

Ladies of the G. A. R. Entertain Old Soldiers at Anniversary of f ' Emancipator’s Birth.

jA ’ ■ ’■] • What has grown to be an annual custom with the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, that of celebrating the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, was splendidly carried out Wednesday evening when a« hearty lap supper was served in the G. A, R. hall in the basement of the court house. All old soldiers in Rensselaer and vicinity had bfeen invited and most of them responded. In fact, considering the chid night, there were a big lot of the “old hoys” out and they took to the supper of beans, salad, ejeamed chicken, sandwiches, coTfee, ice cream and cake with almost much zest as- they did hack in the sixties. Following the supper, tfhich was splendidly served by the ladies, a splendid program was carried out. It included addresses f> Rev. W. G. Winn, Rev. C. L. arper, Rev. J. CL Parrett, and Attorney E. P. Honan, and songs and speeches by a number of others. It #as one of the most joyous of all the Lincoln Day occasions, and the speeches, especially that of Rev. Winn, who was horn and raised in Virginia, caused every person to feel the spirit of praise and honor for the martyred president. The ladies of the order wish to thank the King Floral Co. for a fine boquet of carnations which were sent to them and which were distributed among- sick members jvho ,were unable to attend the khpper. The spirit evidenced in the following ecomium was evident on every hand: “For his services rise above partisanship and sectionalism. They .belong to mankind, to the world. What this man or that thinks of him matters not. He rises above the personal element into the universal. Even while men yet live who knew him, hfs individual peculiarities, his-little fauts and mannerisms, the things for which people at close range criticised him, have fallen away like a garment and have ceased to obscure his greatness. He stands now, as he will always stand, a colossal figure on the shores of time. Fortunate indeed is the country with the memory of such a man to celebrate.”

Evangelistic Meetings At the James School House.

For a number of years there has been a good union Sunday school conducted in the James school house about four miles south of town. For the last tyro years Mr. Parrett has been preaching there once or twice a month following the sessions of the school, and now, with the. assistance of the other pastors of the city, and of Mrs. Fell, he is planning to conduct a series of evangelistic meetings, beginning on Monday evening, Feb. 17th, at 7:30, and continuing at the same hour each evening for two weeks, except Saturday. Everyone is most cordially invited to be present at these services.

KEEPS MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES

Postmaster General Hiteheock Says $12,000,000 Less Was Sent Abroad Last Year.'

International postal money order business decreased nearly $12,000,000 the last year. The decrease was due almost wholly, according to postal authorities, to the operation in this country of the postal savings system. In the two years preceding the establishment of the system international money order business increased at the rate of $17,000,000 a year, and during the eight years previous to that period the average Increase was approximately $9,000,000 a year. These figures indicate that much f money heretofore sent from the United States to foreign countries for de posit and safe keeping now is 1 being deposited in postal savings banks. .Statistics prepared for Postmaster General Hitchcock show that comparatively little money deposited in the postal savings system was withdrawn from banks. The system, however, has drawn from hiding places large sums of money put there either through lack d confidence in banks or because lit tie encouragement was given to small savings accounts.

Ezra Clark's Condition More Critical Today.

Ezra L. Clark, father of Leslie Clark, of The Republican, who suffered two slight strokes of paralysis, one Tuesday evening and the other Wednesday morning, seems to have lost some ground since yesterday and his condition today lends small probability of improvement. It is not improbable that he can not long survive, although a change for improvement may yet take place. Mr. dark is 74 years of age.
