Homer Heath pleaded guilty when arraigned before Judge Hanley Friday afternoon to the ciharge of robbery. He was sentenced, to serve a term of 2 to 14 years in the state reformatory at Jefferson wile. Asked if he had any (statement to make, Heath said that he did not do it, but that Ford, his companion, planned it and did all the work. The court did not take any stock in this claim, however.

JACOB FLUZEL TO BE TAKEN TO ASYLUM

Aged Resident of Kankakee Township Pronounced Insane—lnjured Forty Tears Ago.

Joseph Fluzel, 78 years of age, has been declared insane by an inquest jury composed of Drs. H. B. Fyfe and P. O. Erelecht. The inquest was conducted by Justice of the Peace Albert Van Doozer, at Wheatfield.- ’#• The evidence showed that Mr. Fluzel had been injured forty years ago by falling down an elevator shaft two stories, but that he had recovered from the injuries sustained. He had also Suffered from sunstroke. His insane tendencies were first shown two years ago and he had been growing steadily worse until the family no longer regarded it as safe to care for him at the home. He talks of sqicide at times and also is violent toward others. He has already been accepted at the Northern Hospital for the Insane and will probably be taken there Monday.

During Thursday afternoon B. J. Moore and B. F. Alter discovered that it was their joint birthday, Mr. Moore being 47 and Mr. Alter being 48 years of age. The discovery was too important to be passed over lightly and they decided to make 4t the occasion of a stag party with the two as hosts, and invitations were given to eighteen friends, all of whom assembled at the Moore residence at'B o’clock and put in the evening playing seven* up. Refreshments consisting of oysters, pickles and coffee were served and everyone had a splen did time. The score was very close between several of the contestants at the finish and it took an official count with a board of experts to determine the result officially and satisfy the players. B. D. McColly was declared the highest with 229 points, Geo. W. Scott had 227, Ben Welsh 224 and Frank Ham 221. No prizes were awarded. Hon. Jas. R. Guild left for Elizabeth hospital in Lafayette last Monday to take treatment for a bruised, leg which gave him considerable trouble. He endeavored to intercept a runaway hog several weeks ago, which, together with others, had been brought to their scales for the purpose of being weighed, but the animal collided with Mr. Guild’s leg with such force that he was compelled to stay at home for several days. Since then he has endeavored manfully to navigate beI tween his home and the office, but instead of getting better the limb became more painful all the time.— Medaryville Advertiser. C. G. Spitler has contracted with A. Gangloff for a trade that will take place a year later, by which Mr. Spitler will secure the Gangloff residence on Grace street and Mr. Gangloff gets the former Wilbur D Bond farm, near Pleasant Ridge. The farm figured at $l5O per acre in the trade. The former Peter May farm, which George B. Wenner just moved from, and which has been owned recently by Lafayette Blrkert, of Washington, 111., has also been sold. It adjoins the farm the Gangloffs have purchased and brought the same price, $l5O per ■ore. The purchaser was John A. Hardebeck.

TEACHERS IN BUSY INSTITUTE SESSION

HE- E- ■ . : 'E' ■ - Republican Reporter Attends All Sessions and Gives Splendid Aeeount of Proceedings. The Annual Teachers’ Association of Jasper county met this yeas on February 28 and March 1. The morning session Friday was spent by those who were able to get here in visiting the Rensselaer City schools, and studying the work being done in our county’s capital. At 1:30 in the auditorium of the new high school building the assembly, consisting of teachers, patrons and pupils, was called to order by President'!. N. Warren. The high school advanced chorus so competently instructed by Miss Stover, next delighted the gathering with two numbers, “The Oars arc Plashing Lightly,” by A. Geibel, and “My Bark Canoe,” by an Ojibway Indian. The spelling contest was the feature of the afternoon. Representatives were sent from the townships and from each city school. Mr. W. O. Scharilaub, county superintendent of Newton county, was chosen to pronounce the words; and Mr. Sayers, of Wheatfield, Miss Shedd, of Rensselaer, and Mr. Wesley, of Remipgton, acted as judges of the contest. \ The contestants were as follows: Barkley—Denver Potts and Warren Gratner.

Carpenter—Emma Plummer and Harold Cummons. Hanging Grove—Pearl Ross and Walter Erb. ; Keener—Anna DeHaan. Jordan—Stella Corbin. Kankakee—Hazel Hibbs. Marion—Valrie Hill. Milroy—Cora Digmen and Lillian Fisher. __ : Newton—Earl Price. s Union—Elma Umphress and’ Marie Gant. Walker—lrving Lewis and Alvin Karch. Rensselaer City—Esther Harper ’ and Chas. Halleck. Wheatfield City—Nancy Coleman. Five hundred and thirty words were pronounced, taking about one hour’s time. The contest resulted in a victory to Miss Cora Digmen, of the Center school, Milroy township. Her teacher is Miss Ara Griswold. - ’ • * 4 The representative from Wheatfield City, Miss Nancy Coleman, was second. The list of words misspelled follow: unfamiliar, hemstitch, hiding, received, parallel, partition, scarcely, reverent, sparsely, asparagus, stationery, striking, opinion, safety, obliged, towards. After the contest and a short intermission Prof. Edwin P. Holton, of the Kansas State Agricultural School, was introduced and spoke rather briefly on his subject, which seems to be Greater Efficiency in Our Public Schools Than Practical Vocational Work.” He pointed out some defects in our schools while praising the organization of the system, and also showed how a practical remedy might be applied. Prof. Holton’s talk was inspirational, calling upon the teaether to get a larger view of her calling and fill the place more efficiently, that is for a teacher. He lectured Friday evening on “Why I Left the Farm.”

Tom Eigelsbach an Inspector For Chicago Railways Co.

Tom Eigelsbach, of Chicago, son of Henry Eigelsbach, of this city, is now an inspector for the Chicago Railways Co., for whom he has worked for the past twelve years. The promotion brought with it a substantial increase in salary. Tom worked as a conductor and motorman and his long and faithful service attracted the attention of the officials and the promotion insulted. It is another example of the way Rensselaer boys make good wherever thly locate. We hope to see Tom climb to places of higher responsibility and expect that he will do it.

Charles N. Paxton and family, who went to Colorado seven years ago, are going to return to Rensselaer to take up their residence. Their goods have already been shipped from Longmont and Mr. and Mrs. Paxton will leave that city next week and.go to Attica, Ind., where they will remain with her sister, Mrs. C. W. Postill, until their household effects arrive tn Rensselaer. Mr. Paxton and family will reside in Rensselaer, but we learn that thus far they have not secured a residence. Many ills come from impure blood. Can’t have pure blood with faulty digestion, lazy liver and sluggish bowels. Burdock Blood Bitters is recommended for strengthening stomach, bowels and liver and purifying the blood.

W. H. COHEE DID NOT APPEAR FOR TRIAL

Defendant in Embezzlement Charge Fails to Appear and Special Officer is Sent for Him. W. H. Cohee, who, with C. P. Wright, was indicted by the grand jury last fall on the charge of embezzlement, failed to appear when the, case was called for trial Friday. Cohee has been making his headquarters in Indianapolis, although himself and wife spent some time in Rensselaer a year ago. Cohee was representing a Louisiana land company while here and worked in conjunction with C. P. Wright and L. A. Harmon. About three weeks ago Sheriff Hoover, who had been at Jeffersonville, returned by way of Indianapolis and placed Cohee under arrest, bringing him to Rensselaer. Cohee is said to have been very badly frightened and to have conducted himsejf in a manner s to arouse the suspicions of Sheriff Hoover, who was accompanied by Officer W. S. Parks. The sheriff states that Cohee had a -number of people to see and they were all in back offices and apparently he was trying to find a rear door exit and make his get-away. He was unable to give bond in Indianapolis but after his arrival here Mrs. George Fate signed his bond, the amount being SSOO. When Cohee and wife were in Rensselaer they were guests at the Makeever hotel and apparently he was all right. Mrs. Fate felt certain that he would be here when his case was called but when he failed to appear there was a great amount of uneasiness. Her son,, Clarence P. Fate, landlord of the hotel, was deputized as a special sheriff and went to Indianapolis to try to find the missing real estate man. He telephoned back this Saturday morning that he had not located him, but had employed a city detective to help in the seareh.

C. P. Wright, the local real estate dealer, has maintained stoutly that there was nothing in the suit brought by Mrs. Anna Wylie alleging that he and Cohee had embezzled $1,320 of her money. He was here prepared for trial when the case was called Friday, but it was decided to postpone the trial until an effort was made to locate Cohee, who was to be used as a witness for Mr. Wright.

Mrs. Anna Wylie is the wife of L. H. Wylie, and the family lived for some time on the former J. K. Davis farm, near Pleasant Grove, which they had secured in a trade. They later disposed of this farm and it was a part of the proceeds of this farm that are alleged to have been embezzled. Mr. and Mrs. Wylie are here to prosecute the cases. Mrs. Wylie states that in addition to the alleged loss of $1,320, that S3OO was loaned to Cohee, his personal note being taken, that he paid $75 of this but still owes the other $225. It is probable that the C. P. Wright trial will be called Monday in ease Cohee is not apprehended. Failure to find him will call for a forfeitureof the SSOO bond.

Chicago. He got through the operation in fine shape and was only in the hospital nine days. The Burlington railroad recently completed a fine office building at the corner of Clinton and Jackson streets. It is fifteen stories high and modern in every respect. The washed air vehtilating system for the building cost SIOO,OOO. This system is now used in all modern buildings. The windows are never raised even during the most sultry weather. The air is sucked into the ventilating plant and passed through flowing cold water and then fanned throughout the building. Thus no dust or bacteria is in the air. Elbert will remain here lentil Sunday, afternoon and Is spending today with his grand mother, Mrs. Lucinda Antrim, who wffl be 98 years of age next October. . On July 1 next the colleet-on-de livery feature will be added to the parcel post department of the postal service of the country. An order putting this into effect was Thursday signed by Postmaster General Hitchcoek. Under the approved regulations a pared bearing the required amount of parcel post stamps may be sent anywhere in the country and the amount due from the purchaser collected and remitted by the postoffice department ————l II ■ HI Mrs. J. H. Carson came from Lafayette yesterday afternoon and will be here for some time helping to care for her father, Ezra L Clark, whose condition has not materially changed during the past week.
