A WAT OPEN
Many a Rensselaer Reader Knows It Welt There is a way open to convince the greatest skeptic. Scores of Rensselaer people have made it possible. The public statement of their experience is proof the like of which has never been produced before in Rensselaer. Read this case Of it given by a citizen: Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at various times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago I first began their use and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them in the spring of 1907. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.
Widow of James R. Baker Secured Money From Railroad.
Relatives of James R. Baker, who lost his life on Oct. 4th, while working as a lineman for an interurban railway company near Pontiac, 111., have received word from his widow’ to the effect that she had secured a settlement from the railway company for his death. The company was reported to be in bad condition financially and it was feared nothing could be collected, but she brought suit and the road offered to pay her $1,200 cash or give her $2,000 in railway bonds. She decided to take the bonds and succeeded in disposing of them at par, thus realizing $2,000. Of this she had to pay $250 to her attorney. He also carried $2,000 insurance in the Modern Woodmen and they sought to avoid payment on the ground that his occupation was hazardous, while he was not paying the hazardous rate. As his employment was the same it had been when he was accepted a member, the payment could not be avoided and the full amount of the policy was paid to her. She has not made an investment up to this time and may decide to come to Jasper county. Her husband was a son of John N. Baker, of Barkley township.

SENATE TWISTS THE TAIL OF THE “TIGER”
Krau Measure, Aimed at Drug Stores Doing Saloon Business is Passed, 28 to 7.
The senate Tuesday afternoon passed the “anti-blind tiger” bill, when the Krau measure, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor by druggists, except on prescription from a physician, went through the upper chouse by a vote of 28 to 7. If passed in the lower branch Indiana will have a stringent law against the sale of liquor by druggists. The bill prohibits the sale of liquor by druggists in quantities greater than sixteen ounces on the prescription of a physician. That amount could be purchased if a prescription is shown. The present law, which permits the sale of liquor on the order of hospital superintendents to the amount of five quarts, is a part of the proposed new law. A further provision in the bill is that druggists, before selling the liquor to a customer, must be convinced that it is to be used for the purpose stated in the prescription, and the druggist must know of his own knowledge that the person purchasing the liquor is not in the habit of becoming intoxicated, i After having been quietly sleeping in the senate safe, or elsewhere, since it passed the house on Feb. 25, the Biddle road bill, requiring the payment of all road taxes in excess of S2O in cash, was saved from defeat in the senate Tuesday when the majority report of the committee on roads recommending the passage of the bill was adopted. The bill was drawn by the farmers of the house, and many of them had become alarmed over its fate until its appearance in the senate Tuesday afternoon. The bill has been fought by certain contractors who take large contracts from the railroads and corporations and work out their road taxes at a profit. The senate Tuesday afternoon killed the Biddle road bill, which would have required all road taxes amounting to more than S2O to be paid in cash. The bill, which passed the house several days ago, was killed by the adoption of a minority report recommending indefinite postponement. Under the present law a great amount of road tax is “worked” out. Large corporations “work out” their road tax by awarding contracts for the work to companies engaged in that business. The supporters of the bill declare that if the tax were paid in cash, better roads would be established, as the money paid for the taxes would be used in road improvement. - As it passed the house the bill was designed to permit persons paying a small road tax to work out the tax and to require corporations paying large amounts to pay in cash. It was charged that persons benefiting by contracts from railroads for working out taxes were responsible for killing the bill
The VanAuken-Storen registration bill was passed in the senate Tuesday morning by a vote of 40 to 0. As it stands now the bill provides for one regular registration period in October thirty days before election and for one additional registration period in September. The September registration, however, may not be held unless on demand of 300 resident freeholders of a county. If it is thought advisable the October registration period may be lengthened to three days. The pay of registration clerks is cut down to $3 a day, but the pay of the inspectors is left at $4 a day The bill, in addition, provides that absent voters may register by affidavit, which affidavits must reach the registration officials on or before the registration day. There was no opposition of any kind toward the measure.

When you trade with us you get the benefit of my thirty-two years’ experience in buying groceries. No high rents or interest to pay. Buying for cash in car lots and large quantities direct from growers or manufacturers, I am able and will save you money on your grocery bill. JOHN EGER. Miss Cora Bruner is home for a visit of two weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bruner. She is now studying telegraphy in the Western Union office at Lebanon, under the direction of Miss Zoe Peck, who is the manager of that office. Miss Peek learned telegraphy here under Miss Spaulding and now has a fine position at Lebanon. A blanket remonstrance was filed with the county auditor last Friday afternoon against the granting of any saloon license in the city of Rensselaer. Rensselaer has been “dry” since October, 1906, and the town is much better than it was In the old days. Merchants, we believe, without exception, would oppose the reinstatement of saloons. So far as known to us the only Rensselaer person to witness the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall was James H. S. Ellis, Jr., who is attending the University of Virginia at Charlottsville. He was one of three hundred students from that Institution to attend the inauguration and furnish an escort of honor for the new president. To President Wilson will fall the task of filling more than 1,400 places made vacant by the refusal of the senate to confirm appointments by the president since Dec. 2.
CIVIC MOVEMENT FOR RENSSELAER
(Continued from Page One;)
The general office of the association has been in Washington foi the past three years and from them has been conducted a vigorous propaganda by correspondence and distribution* of printed literature ‘extending to all parts of the United States and Canada. The cost of federation is $5 and Dr. M. D. Gwin, city health officer, volunteered to pay this amount himself. Local ideas will control in the formation of the local organization, which will be governed by a constitution and by-laws. The mose effective manner of creating interest with every one will be sought out and adopted. These things have been discussed to some extent and some good suggestions made. Further action will probably await the calling of a general meeting when a short program will be held, lantern slides used to illustrate the possibilities of beauty-seeking enterprise and the organization affected by the election of officers. The slides to be used will come from the Nation al Civic Association, and a magazine and various literature will also be furnished and advice given without cost upon request. Mr. Holden is very much impressed with the possibility of the new organization, realizing that it will mean the higher fulfillment of the very things he had hoped to accomplish when the plan was first suggested. It is quite probable that the organization’s efforts will not quit off with the front lawns, but that back yards, alleys, gardens and vacant lots will be given attention. It will also work along improved sanitary lines. The fly nuisance, the slop disposal proposition, the weed menace and every phase of sanitary neglect Will be taken up. The Republican is requested to impress upon every citizen of the city that they are by virtue of their residence here members of the association. It is probable that there will be no roster of names, except of the officers and their aids; that there will be no membership fee and no dues, but that all. moneys required will be raised by collections. It is hoped to have every man, woman and child in Rensselaer get into the spirit of making Rensselaer more beautiful, more healthful and better in every way. Without the co-operation of every one the plan will not be successful, but if every family will get into the spirit of the movement and help it along our city will be. the best in Indiana before the frost comes again. Another suggestion that may be successfully worked out ls to Jiave an exhibit of garden products at the proper time next summer or fall. This would probably be restricted to school children competition and would be held at the high school gymnasium. Remember, that you are all members of this big movement for the physical and healthful improvement of this city and that every house, no matter where located, will be viewed during the progress of the summer by many people, large numbers of them from outside of Rensselaer. We want every person who comes to our city to go away with a feeling of pride in our enterprise. The Republican will be glad to help the movement along by printing from time to time such suggestions as the committee on flower culture may submit. Let every one give the plan some thought and be prepared, the women, the men and the children to attend the big organization meeting to be held very soon, .
Nine-Hour Bill Lost in Senate Tuesday, 29 to 19
The Dickinson-Koenig bill, providing a nine-hour day for women, was killed in the senate Tuesday afternoon by a vote of 29 to 19. Every senator was compelled to announce his position on the measure with the exception of Senator Sexson, who is in the west for his health, and Senator Harmon, of Marlon county, who could not be found and who wag excused from voting by motion. Senator Harmon said afterward that he was not on hand to vote as he was called to the house to look after severel bills in which he is interested. If he had been present, he said, he would have voted "aye.” The vpte came after a debate which began at 11 o’clock and lasted until noon and which was resumed at 2 o’clock and continued until 3:30 o’clock. Every senator who wanted to speak was given full liberty to do so. Every phase of the question was discussed. When the vote had been announced Sena tor Fleming Immediately moved to reconsider. This motion was tabled on motion of Senator Kistler, this action having the effect of burying the bill beyond resurrection during this session of the legislature.

“Stomach Misery All GONE”
“My! How I Did Suffer But Now rm Happy All Day Long and h Sleep Fine." • That’s-what a woman said fast a few months ago. She said more and here it is. 1 _ “I wish it lay within my power to persuade every woman sufferer from dyspepsia or indigestion (or whatever they may think their stomach trouble is) to give MI-Q-NA Stomach Tablets one week’s fair trial. I am sure that every one of them would thank me from the . bottom of her heart.” “I am well and happy for the first time in years and I do not hesitate to give MI-O-NA Stomach Tablets all “the credit?’ Follow this advice. Give MI-O-NA Stomach Tablets a week’s trial; if they do not benefit, B. F. Fendig will return the cost—so cents.
