FORMER CONGRESSMAN WILL PRACTICE LAW

Hon. E. D. Orumpacker Will Locate at His Old Home in Valparaiso for Practice. Valparaiso Vidette. Hon. E. t>. Crumpacker, Mrs. Crumpacker and Owen Crumpacker, who has been secretary to his father at the national capital, arrived home from Washington late Saturday night and are now permanent residents of this city. They immediately began making arrangements for the future. Mr. Crumpacker was met on the streetg by many of his old friends, who welcomed him back as a private citizen of Valparaiso. According to a statement which he made, he will practice law here. —‘The profession of law is the only vocation for which I am fitted,” said Mr. Crumpacker in a conver sation. “Of other things I know but little, and I shall probably establish an office in Calpo.” He spoke of the new Porter circuit court and believes there is still plenty of room for him here among the other attorneys. The retiring congressman also expressed delight at getting back to the old town, and declared he was glad to once more be one of the common herd. During the yekrs of Mr. Crumpacker’s practice in this part of the state, before his party sent him to cougrcss, he was among the ablest attorneys, and few prominent cases came up in which he was not interested on one side or the other.

A DEMOCRATIC MEANS OF AVERTING DEFICIT

Increase State Tax Levy—A Very Contrary Action to the Economic Campaign Argument. An increase in the state tax levy of 7.3 cents on the SIOO is provided in a bill.that passed the house Saturday morning under a suspension of the rules. It is estimated that this will produce $1,341,250 additional revenue and that the inheritance tax will produce $250,000 each year. Representative Cravens, who presented the measure, told the members that unless the bill was passed there would be a deficit of $500,000 in the state treasury at the end of the next fiscal year.

Must Have Been in Possession Of an Intermediate Person.

Monticello Journal. On July 12, 1912, Clarence Berry, of near Yeoman, put a note in a bottle in the Tippecanoe river near Yeoman. Recently he received his note In a letter from Tucson, Arizona, written by Paul King, an engineer on the Southern Pacific railroad running from Tucson, Arizona, to Los Angeles, CaL In this letter Mr. King states that he found the bbttle floating in the Pacific ocean at Los Angeles on Feb. 24, 1913. Mr. King also states that he was at one time a fireman on the Monon and later an engineer, living at Lafayette. The question that puzzles is, Ijow did this bottle get from the Tippecanoe river in Indiana to the Pacific ocean off the coast of California?

THEODORE W. HAUS DIED SUDDENLY

Well Known Restaurant Man Ex- —..— *—. : -i. - - .& ■ - I —r — r pired Monday P. M.—Had Been in- Poor Health Long Time. I.±2l'. lL‘ -y- j... CL. '-I - **«..- - Theodore W. Haus, for thirty years engaged, in the restaurant business in Rensselaer, expired sud deilly Monday afternoon at abput 5 o’cloek. He had been engaged in the activities of life during the day and apparently was in a condition of health equal to if not better than normally. He had been an invalid for several years, suffering from diabetis. This was seemingly cured about three years ago, t?ut three or four months ago he had, a very serious attack of brights disease and the physicians who attended him at that time found that he not only had this disease, but dilation of the heart and a dropsical condition of the legs. It was thought for some time that he could not survive that attack hut be was eventually able to be out again and for several weeks had been at his Restaurant daily. His attack came at just about 5 o’clock and he at once became unconscious. A physician was called and administered a hypodermic injection of morphine with the hope of reviving the heart action, which had almost ceased. But It was of no avail and he was dead within three minutes, after the attack. The body was removed to the Wright undertaking parlors and later to the home on South Front street. The prostrated wife was given the comfort of many friends, who have continued to aid her in the preparation of the funeral arrangements. Word was at once sent to the two daughters, Mrs. Newton Pumphrey, of Columbia City, and Mrs. Ira McCord, of Indianapolis. The former, accompanied by her husband, arrived here this afternoon. Mrs. Mceord is the mother of a baby daughter, born only two weeks ago, and it is probable that she will not be able to attend the funeral. The funeral will be held at the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, being conducted by Rev. J. C. Parrett, of the Presbyterian church. The Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows, to both of which orders he belonged, will attend the funeral in a body. Burial will be made in Weston eemetery.

T. W. Haus was born at Westfield, Ind., Nov. 1, 1857, and at the time of death was 55 years, 4 months and 9 days of age. He came to Rensselaer in July, 1883, and engaged in the bakery business and followed that business for many years, eventually discontinuing the baking business and engaging in the restaurant business exclusively. Eight years ago he had a h ric h business room erected on the north side of Washington street and his business occupied this room at the time of his death. He was one of Kst businessmen in Renssepoint of continuous busius had a disposition that intimate acquaintance l to well understand. He possessed a gruff style that caused many to misunderstand and had a way of saying exactly what he meant on all occasions and this was frequently misunderstood by those who did not understand him, but when this veneer was brushed aside he was one of the most affable and sociable men in Rensselaer, and those who knew him best found pleasant companionship in his association. Of strict honesty and integrity in every matter of business and in private life, he had established a business standing of the highest rating and his good nature and keen sense of humor made him popular wherever he was known.

“Theo” llsus was essentially 0 a man of complacency. He took everything as it came in a forgranted fashion and was given little to worry about anything. He lived as he* chose and gave to others the right to do the same unquestioned. Ho was never a meddler but a plain everyday citizen. Even during the time when he was in very feeble health he would tell all who inquired about his health, “Oh, I’m getting along all right If I ain’t I guess ril find -it out.” In his death the community has lost a good citizen and the busness men of Rensselaer an associate of long and favorable standing.
