Remington Veterinarian Had Auto Accident Sunday Night. Dr. Goo. W. Turley, the Reining ton veterinary surgeon, had an automobile accident Sunday evening at about 8 o’clock that proved not to be serious only because he was traveling slowly when it occurred. He was starting out to make a professional call and when about 2 miles east of Remington the right rear wheel left the axle and rolled in the diteh. The car was dragged to the other side of the road and also went into the ditch, but no serious injury resulted. The car was a Maxwell runabout and it was hauled in Monday morning, a rail supporting the corner where the wheel was off. See our line of buggies. 4 HAMILTON A KELLNER.

DREDGE COOK WAS BURNED TO DEATH

George Ulm Writes About Terrible Accident That Betel Estimable Woman on Dredge.

George E. Ulm, of Rensselaer, who Is working on a dredge Point, Wis., writes the following account of a sad accident that occurred on the dredge boat one day last week:

Tuesday morning at 6:20 a lamp exploded and fatally burned our cook, Mrs. Hart Williams, of New Canton, 111., and burned her husband's hands until the flesh fell in pieces from them. We had just finished our breakfast and I was just leaving the cook cabin when the lamp exploded. I stepped back and opened the door to see what had happened and the cook was a solid mass of flames, and she started to run out, but her husband caught her and said: “For God’s sake don’t go out in the wind.” I ran to our sleeping cabin, calling for some of the men to throw me some blankets, that the cook was on fire. They thought I said the cabin was on fire and all went >up stairs to see, and then, knowing what I said, came down just as I got in and took four pair of double blankets from a bed down stairs and ran out with them. Just as we got around to her cabin she fell out of the door and I wrapped the blankets about her and smothered out the flames, but her clothing was nearly all burned from her body. We tore off all of her elothing that was not burned off and took her to her room, where we did all that was possible to relieve her suffering. We took lard and soda and melted them together and dipped a linen table cloth in it and wrapped her in it and sent for a doctor, the nearest of whom was 16 miles away. The section man went for him on a gasoline speeder, 16 miles to meet the doctor at Dexterville, Wls„ and was back In 45 minutes. We took her to City Point, 2 1 / z miles from the boat, and when we got her tyere the doe-

SUNDAY EVENING WITNESSED BLIZZARD

Short-Idved Storm Spread Mantle of Snow Over Earth and Caused '■ Temperature to Drop.

A real blizzard raged for a few moments here just after 6 o’clock Sunday evening. The day had been chilly but otherwise not very disagreeable and the storm whicti came almost without warning was the worst while it lasted that has occurred this winter.

A low black cloud eame from the west and all of a sudden almost complete darkness enveloped the earth or the part 61 it that lies in northwest Indiana. A rushing wind carried dense snow .with it and inside of five minutes the earth was entirely covered with snow. People who were caught out without adequate protection from the elements were caused much temporary suffering. The temperature seemed to fall 15 degrees in five minutes time and the snow was so dense that it seemed almost like a cloud burst. The wind blew a gale from the west. Fortunately it did not last long and the worst of it was over in about 5 minutes. A full half inch of snow fell within that time. The wind- soon subsided but the mercury continued to drop and it reached 8 above zero before morning. It was a very peculiar storm and had it continued for an hour at the furious pace it went for five minutes much damage and suffering would have been caused.

Farmers Formulate Plans For Road Improvement.

A number of representative farmers met at Center school house, Union township, Friday evening, March 14th, to discuss and formulate plans for a system of road improvement. It was decided-best to oppose road building under the two-mile road law, and In its place to advocate bonding the township to an amount sufficient to build stone roads on the main traveled highways. To further this end George Casey was chosen chairman and Ira F. Meader secretary. The following committee was appointed to meet and report Friday evening, March 28th, at Center school house, Union township: John Guss, Geo. A. Cover, M. D. Gourley, B. D. Comer, Frank Goff, F. R. Erwiir, Geo. Casey, LeAlie Alter, W. L. Wood, S. A. Brusnahan and Dan Lakin. It is the duty of this committee to confer with the public and report the mental attitude in their locality toward a bond issue; also to come to some decision as to which roads shall bo improved. Everyone is invited to attend the committee meeting Friday evening, March 28th, and help boost the movement for better roads. The secretary was instructed to send a copy of the above report to the Rensselaer papers and notify absent committeemen.

Gillam Township Couple to Be Married Wednesday Morning.

Janies W. Stevens came down from Gillam township this Monday morning in company with his daughter, Miss Minnie F. Stevens, and Mr. Fred E.

Kuonen pronouncing the ceremony. They will go to their home on the farm Mr. Stevens purchased last year and which Is known a 4 the Prevo farm, where they will hold a reception from 1 to 3 o’clock that afternoon. The home has been furnished and ready for their occu pancy. The many friends of this estimable young couple in Gillam township will join The Republican in wishing them a life of happiness and prosperity.

tor was there and dressed her burns, after which we took her to Grand Rapids, Wls., to a hospital She died at 8 o’clock that, night. Mr.'McAllister left Grand Rapids with the body for her home at New Canton, 111., at 5;20 t;he next morning. Her husband accompanied the body. He was fearfully burned, and being a crippled man, having one limb off at the knee, will now probably be more than ever a cripple for the rest of his life. Mrs. Williams had been the cook for three years for McAllister. She was a fine lady and loved by all who were employed where she was, being always happy and 4oviaL She will be missed greatly by aIL Hoping all who use oil lamps that read about this sad accident, will be careful how they handle lamps, for this was the most pitiful sight I have ever seen, and could not believe without seeing, the fearful suffering of one so burned.

Governor Vetoes the Township Trustee Relief Bill.

Governor Ralston Saturday refused to receive Senator McCormick's bill for the relief of A. A. Fell, former trustee of Carpenter township, to reimburse him for $982.03. township-money lost through the failure of the Parker bank at Remington. The governor’s failure to receive the bill kills it. He took the same action in the bill providing for the relief of the, other trustees. A bill signed by the governor Saturday extends the terms of superintendents of county infirmaries from two years to four years and forbids the employment of relatives of the superintendent in or around poor farms; — i r— ——

My advice in ft Qgy TROUBLES I Columbia n«. others. VOID LuTc. shoe store r=n I am displaying daily in my windows, shoes that are up to the minute in style. They are dependable shoes, made in dependable factories, for my store. They fit right.

In my opinion they are the best shoes to be had at the price. , i You are invited to inspect these shoes, either at home or the store, bearing in mind jp&SjSS that we do not consider a sale closed until the customer is satisfied.

That Was Along About 1894; Was It Not, Brother Roby.

Benton County Review. County Commissioner Hershman, of Jasper county, living not far from Medaryville, recently sold three bronze turkey hens that b brought him $135, or an average of $45 apiece. They were top notchers in all the shows when exhibited this year. In years gone by and not so v e ry long ago either, if a man could have gotten $90.00 for 100 turkeys he would have thought he was doing mighty well.
