The Evening Republican.

A well-known, life-long democrat, and a citizen whose standing is of the highest type, wrote the following open letter to Prank E. Babcock, editor of The Jasper County Democrat and asked that, it be given space in The Republican. The letter reads; “With reference to what The Republican said about the president’s inaugural address, please tell the people what of commendation did you say. Please point to one single editorial written by you during the campaign in favor of the candidacy of Woodrow Wilgon, and can you point with pride to your approval of Bryan at the Baltimore conventibn when he fought for progressive principles. Is it not a fact that in the campaign you were a reactionary? What have you said with reference to the present legislature, any good thing? And after all this, you have the gall to ask for the postofflee from the party and men whom you have so often repudiated.”

She received cards from many friends and relatives, both in and but of Rensselaer. Cards came from Winona Lake, Warsaw, Hammond, Greenwood, Monon and Valparaiso, Ind., and Benton Harbor, Mich., and Trumble, Neb. She also received many long and kind letters. Also a beautiful postcard back. To say that Mrs. King was happily surprised Isputting it mildly To add to the enjoyment a telegram was received from their son, Fred, at Warsaw,’‘'stating that a son was born that day and that mother, baby and papa were doing splendidly. The grandfather was, to be sure, equally ipterested with the grandmother in the shower of postcards and the visit of the stork. The Keyston? disc has hard-oil cups and steel frame.

MRS. IRA G. RAWN GETS LIFE INSURANCE

widow of Former President of Monon Route Wins in Sait to Collect His Insurance. : ‘T ' ;-4trr'fe'' v ■ Mrs. Ira Rawn, whose husband, while president of the Monon railroad, met sudden death in a suburb of Chicago, has been awarded a judgment of $14,000 against a life insurance company which contested payment on the allegation that Rawn had committed suicide. He carried a large amount of insurance and the other companies c6mpromised. It was claimed that Rawn was killed by burglars, but certain things in connection with his former relation with the Illinois Central railroad and an investigation which was to involve him, suggested that he had taken his owa life. The investigation, held following his death, exhonerated him, and this fact aided the widow in her suit to collect his life insurance.

C. & E. L. Should Be Compelled To Operate Passenger Train.

The C. & E. I. railroad, encouraged by articles in The Jasper County Democrat and a few puny sheets that gather their opinions from that contaminated source, will have a rehearing Thursday in an effort to have tne passenger service instituted the first of last November annulled. The Wheatfleld Improvement Association and the progressive people along the route, however, are on the route and will present to the state railway commission their claims for this service in an able manner. If the train should be ordered off the discontinuance could be readily traced to the'deplorable fact that The Jasper County Democrat and its aids argued against the wishes of the people. This train service should by all means be continued. It affordß the only means the people of the north part of Jasper county have of coning to the county seat and returning to their home the same day. Since this train was. put on there has been a change in the time of the C., I. & S. that makes connections at Shelby in the afternoon practically impossible. A fanner living near Yirgie was in Rensselaer last week, having come by way of the C. & E. I. *o Fair Oaks. He said: "This train is certainly a fine thing for people in my neighborhood. I formerly had to drive 13 miles to get to Rensselaer. Now I walk to Virgie and make the trip by train.” Henry C. Meyers, of near Khiman, said practically the same thing. The train service means so much to this long neglected territory and to have this train withdrawn would be little less than criminal. Rensselaer merchants should lose no opportunity to urge the retention of the train service, as it means many dollars to them. A Wheat field citizen, accompanied by his wife and daughter, visited Rensselaer recently, He remarked that bv coming over the C. & E. I. he saved 50 cents on each round trip, a total of $1.50, and that he spent that ipuch more in Rensselaer. By all means this train should be kept running.
