BATTALION RIFLE MATCH AT PARR

Tour Companies Will Assemble There Last of Next Week for Three Days’ Shoot. U ■. Major George W. Freyermutli, commanding the second battalion of the third regiment of the Indiana National Guard, consisting of the Rensselaer, Monticcllo, South Bend and Plymouth companies, has the battalion match to be held at Parr. About forty soldiers will be assembled for this shoot, which will probably be held the last of next week, although the date has'not positively been set. The camp will be established in the grove in Parr. Five or six members of the Rensselaer team will compete in the match. Captain Albert Black, of Albion, the inspector of small arms rifle practice for the third regiment, has sent letters to all company commanders offering; a gold medal for the individual making the highest score in the three battalion matches in the regiment. The regulations for firing have materially changed since last year and this will be a great benefit to the new competitors who were unable to make good skirmish scores usually during the first year’s shooting. The match, however, will be one of deep interest and it is expected that a large number-will visit the range during the time the match is being held. Parr people are well pleased that the match has been arranged there and promise to do all they Can to make things pleasant for the soldiers. An effort is also being made to hold the regimental shoot at Parr range and if this is accomplished about 75 soldiers will be encamped there the 12th, 13th and 14th of June.

Dr. M. D. Gwin Took Short Course at Johns Hopkins.

Dr. M. D. Gwin returned Saturday evening from a two weeks’ trip in the east, where he spent most of his time at the Johns Hopkins University under Dr. Becker and at the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. He studied nervous diseases and the serum treatment for tuberculosis under Dr. Becker, who succeeded Dr. Osier as the head of the medical department of the university and who is regarded the leading medical authority in United States. Dr. Gwin went over to Annapolis, Md.,' one afternoon and saw Midshipman James E. Brenner and enjoyed a very pleasant hour with him. ;• On his way home Dr. Gwin came by the way of New York and spent a day with his brother, Blaine Gwin, at Paterson, N. J., where the latter has charge of the associated charities work. Blaine is most «oncerned now about the settlement of the strike at Patterson, the continuance of which may cause him to postpone his marriage to a young lady at Winnipeg, Canada, which is set-do take place the latter part of June.

Flora Postmaster Finally Had Resignation Accepted.

L. T. Bell, postmaster at Flora for the past 24 years, is at last to be relieved from the further cares of office, and John L. Roblyer has been appointed to his place. Of late years the Flora office has been paying a salary of $1,700 a year, but even that modest little salary had no charm for him compared to the lure of farm life. Twice he sent in his resignation, but the department would not accept it, and last Januayr he was re-ap-pointed for another four years. His nomination was held up under resolution of the democrats In the senate, and to make sure that he would this time be relieved, Mr. Bell again sent in his resignation and moved onto his farm over in Wayne county. This brought about the desired result and a new man was appointed. Not all republican postmasters are so anxious to let go as Mr. Bell. William Lorimer, ousted from the XJ. 8. senate after two trials,, will open his campaign for the republican nomination to the senate from Illinois to succeed Lawrence Y. Sherman within thirty days, according to an announcement made by Percy B. Coffin, one of Lorimer’s associates. Senator Ashurst Introduced Wednesday a bill to appropriate $1,600,000 for a government armor plate plant. A board of three navy officers is to seek a site and report within three months after passage of the bill. Construction is to begin within six months. Secretary Daniels favors such a plant

BACCALARUEATE LARGELY ATTENDED

Church Was 'Packed to Hear the Address of Dr. Thomas G. Howe to Graduating Class. One of the largest church audiences ever" assembled here packed the Christian church Sunday evening to hear the baccalaureate service and to hear the address of President Thomas C. Howe, of Butler University. The program was a splendid one in every respect. It opened with an organ selection by Mrs. J. B. Martindale, which was much appreciated. ' Next came the high school chorus, directed by Miss Stover, the music teacher, and In which Miss Lura Halleck sang the leading parts. The scripture reading was by Rev. Winn, invocation by Rev.. Harper and prayer by Rev. Wright. Miss Marjorie Loughridge then sang “The Star of Bethlehem,” the orchestra accompanying her. The congregation sang “Holy, Holy, Holy.” . Dr. Howe’s address was directed to the graduates and’ was filled with much splendid advice, things prompted by, his experience since the time he was a high school graduate. He said that he had recently heard President Elliott, of Harvard, deliver an address in which he had told of having seen four pictures of a graduating class from the college. One taken at the time of graduation and the others at ten year intervals after, as the survivers could be assembled together. He said that the changes in the faces during those years was marvelous and that the lives they had led were largely depicted in the countenances. He said that while the life one led was not always shown in the face, it usually was, and that engaging in the right kind was sure to show on the face just as following Immoral and wasteful lives was sure to degrade one’s life. He said that he wished to hold up to the graduates three important things that made for success, namely, realization that God is over all and that it is his province In which we are to live, then to have confidence in oneself and third to be fair with those about us. He dwelt upon the necessity of purity in moral matters, of Industry, of labor, saying that the only real success was that of service, that which accomplished something by which the world is made better, but that giving was essential toward the greatest happiness and the greatest success. The service concluded with an organ postlude by Mrs. Martindale.

Sale of Cows Was Big Success-Prices Up to $110.

Dick Land, of Salem, found the people of Jasper county mighty anxious to buy the Jersey cows he brought here to auction oft and cows last Saturday brought from SSO to sllO. The top price was brought by the first cow sold and the bidding was spirited. Others brought between SBO and $95. Some of the cows were fine in appearance and he gave them the best recommendation. The increasing dairying interests in this county have created a big demaqd for better milk cows and the Jersey seems to be the most desired here.- Mr. Land is understood to have been very much gratified with the prices he procured and will probably hold another sale here before many months.

Rensselaer Citizens Gladly Testify and Confidently Recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. It is testimony like the following that has placed Doan’s Kidney Pills so far above competitors. When people right here at home raise their voice in praise there is no room left for doubt. Read the public statement of a Rensselaer citizen: J. C. Carmichael, Webster & Vine Sts., Rensselaer, Ind„ says: “I suffreed from lame back and sharp, shooiting pains through my loins. The kidney secretions passed too frequently, especially at night, and thus my rest was broken. Nothing relieved me until L procured Doan’s Kidney Pills from Fendig’s Drug Store. They not only corrected the kidney weakness, but relieved the aches and pains and improved my condition In every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of all the praise given them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. ' 1 1 Remember the name—Doan’s--and take no other. The cheerfu Uiar is a great comfort to himself.

PRIZE FIGHTING GETS A BIG JOLT

White Man’s Hope McCarty Killed by Arthur Pelkey in Championship Contest at Calgary. Luther McCarty, of Nebraska, a Hgilt iiraVy Wllgil l illjiiLCr,-W JH> WIMJ looked upon as a white man’s hope, was killed in a .prize fight at Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Saturday afternoon. His opponent was Arthur Pelkey, and the fight took place in the Tommy Burns’ fight arena. The first report was ,that McCarty had died because of a blow over the heart, which was weak anyway. A later report, however, is to the effect that McCarty had his neck broken. The blow which caused his death was administered a minute and a half after the fight was started. McCarty did not seem to be much hurt at the time and the nature of his injury was not known until after his death. He was on his feet and fighting for a half minute after the fatal blow was received. Pelkey and the fight promoters are under arrest and the Burns’ fighting arena was burned to the ground Sunday night. Sunday Frank Carbone, 18 years of age, died in Chicago as a result of a blow he while engaged in a boxing contest in a gymnasium in Chicago Thursday. Carbone weighed 240 pounds and was said to be a very clever handler of the gloves. A physician who examined him stated that death was due to a perforated ulcer which produced general peritonitis.

CROWN POINT MAN WILL BUILD ROADS

Ayr.- The only other bidder was A. E. Harriman & Co., of Brook.

Rensselaer Helped Monon Defeat Francesville Sunday.

Howard Clark, John Morgan and Lloyd Parks played ball with Motion Sunday and figured in the long end of a 10 to 0 score, Francesville being represented by the goose-fruit cypher. Clark pitched, Morgan played short and Parks occupied the left garden. Clark made the Pulaski county lads look like “men of straw” and struck out 15, while only two safe bingles were made oft his delivery and only 29 men faced him in the 9-inning contest. Clark's portside was in the best of condition and he mixed up his offerings to such an extent that his opponents could never tell what was going to happen. Morgan played a good game at second base .and brought in three of the Monon tallies. Parks had nothing to do in the field, as the other batters could not hit the ball to the outfield. The success Clark is meeting in the box has revived local ball talk and the fact that 35 fans accompanied the players to Monon Sunday afternoon looks encouraging from the standpoint of support.

SENIOR CLASS POEM.

f (By Walter Hush). Among the many interesting features of the “class night* events of the commencement class, all of which were original, was the following class poem, written by Walter Bush, of Medaryville, and read by Edson Murray. It is published at the request of several who heard it read: - A Senior class of Rensselaer Will graduate again this year. course, is nothing new,For Senior classes always do. But changes come as time moves on. And of all classes that have gone From out this school in time now past, No class was ever like the last. Nor iS our class like any more That ever left this school before. Now in our plain and simple way, We shall endeavor to portray, Some simple facts about their lives. And if perchance our random drives Should hap some Senior to offend; We hope our classmate and our . friend Will stop to think we mean no ill, We friendship and good will. \ The brightest boy in the Senior class, The boy who never failed to pass, The “goat” of every joke and jest, Although in classes he’s the best, Progressive, he was and he is stilt, Oh! you all know our “Scary Bill.” Dean gave him a lecture in class one day, For holding Roy’s hands in an uncouth way. Now Bill wasn’t led on by love or remorse^ He simply was studying the physical force, That was holding by friction Roy’s hand to his own. For you know Bill’s a scientist, clear to the bone.

September last from Frankfort came President Choate, of football fama Dead Choate, so full of nerve and fire, 0 The hero the girls admire, And “Pidge,” like him, the football game, Has started on the road to fame. “Pidge,” whose bright and beaming eyes, Would woo the Goddess of the skies, ■ Is a ladies’ man, and I hear, He has a case with “Katie dear.” In the Senior class is a youth called Van, And he of the class is the funny man. He always has something funny to say, And he says it in such a childlike way, The Seniors laugh till they nearly die, And Van can’t see the reason why. On Wednesday last to Pauline and Nell, A strange accident befell. A youth without good sense desired To take them home and he got fired. Undaunted still as it does seem He seized Pauline and she did scream. She scared the pood “kid” most-to death, And dashed home, panting, out of breath.

Of the* comedy stunts of the Senior class Pete Thompson is the clown, And the honor of being his partner We must give to Mary Brown; And I need not say Miss Childers Has been making love again To the members of the Faculty Who are unmarried men. When Miss Stocksick has finished H. S. She’s going right on you see. She’ll go through courtship college For the M. R. S. degree. Ruth is our ideal maiden Of the woman suffrage type. She’ll marry a “henpecked” husband Whenever the time is right. T V /' - .y ■ . '■ Sage and Adams are “countryjakes,” And Pollard and Gish are too. They all were high school athletes And all to their colors were true. “Shessie” is the marshal’s son, He is*a man of straw, His favorite expression isir “Open, in the name of the law.” Ernest will be a chemist, All the world will know his name, And- he willtake Miss Kahler With him on the road to fame. Ray Laßue is a band boy true, And Robinson a theatrical star. When he gives a play the whole 'H. S. f Will gather from afar. Aileen returned at Christmas From the wild and wooly west, Shtfs s sweet, sweet girl, and it has been said, That mamma’s boy likes her best. Brussie is a sensible boy Who lives up north by Parr,

WEATHER FORECAST. Showers tonight or Tuesday; warmer tonight, north and central portions.

But onceuto me his sweet-heart said He’d hitched his wagon to a star. Tom Padgitt is a musician, A members of the boys’ quartet. He used to go with Aileen, And ’tis said he loves her yet. Josie is the type of girl That makes an ideal lover, She thinks that if a girl’s too tall For kises, she should stoop over. Minnie and Blanche are maids demure, But right good girls are they, If they keep on at the present rate They’ll be old maids some day. “Happy” is a Gillamite, From Medaryville is she, But she learned all they could teach her there In one short year, you sea Bushy came from the same little burg, But not so smart is he^ For she learned all in one year The things that-took him three. These are all of the Seniors wise, Who graduate this year. The sun of hope shines o’er their heads, With rays both bright and clear. We wish them health, we wish them love, We wish them many joys, We wish the best that life may bring, To these happy girls and boys.

Former Resident Renews Subscription and Writes Letter.

Bloomington, Ind., May 22, 1913. Messrs. Healey & Clark, Dear Sirs: Inclosed please find $2.00, for which please send The Republican and the Weekly Inter-Ocean and Farmer for one year, and oblige. Now, I wfil add a few lines about our country as I see it. I saw in The Republican a few days ago that ice could be found. It was cold here, but not cold enough to freeze ice. But either the cold wave or the drought has played havoc with the fruit crop in my orchard. Two weeks ago I expected to have three thousand bushels of apples, this being a low estimate. Peaches and plums are also cut short. I think it is the drought more than the cold that has caused the trouble. We may have one thousand bushels of apples if nothing happens to them. We will have peaches, plums and cherries enough to do us. There has been no rain to speak of since the flood in the spring. Corn planting is being done as rapidly as possible. Owing to the cloddy condition of the ground, I think wheat will be fair, but short straw, with oats a close second to wheat. Tell all of my old friends in Jasper county that the latch string is always hanging out, and I send my best regards to them, and especially my old friend, F. E. Lewis, and W. E. Boyle. Very truly, G. R. HANNA, R. F. D. No. 1, Bloomington, Ind.
