HOT A TVI/iGE Of Rheumatism SI/ICE TJIKMG RHEUMA "I suffered from Rheumatism for six years; tried different doetors, with.no relief. I saw your, advertisement and decided to try RHEUMA.

No one could be happier to be rid of the pain, swollen knees and badly swollen ankles. I certainly believeth,ere is no remedy for the disease like RHEUMA.”-Mrs. Daniel S. Knox, Severance N. Y., Aug. 8, 1942. B. F. Fendig guarantees RHEUMA to cure Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Seiatiea, Arthritis, Chronic Neuralgia and Kidney disease or money back—and only SO cents a bottle.

CAN’T DINT IT If Thia Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer, Ton Might Doubt It. The average man Is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged so frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following will stand investigation. It cannot be disputed. Charles Malchow, Harvey St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: "Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my nesk. | The kidney secretions annoyed me by their Irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills, and on getting a supply at Fen dig’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys Were strengthened and the pains In my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief.” For s/tle by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

DREDGE BOAT LOOKS LIKE BATTLESHIP

Monster Timbers Used in Construction of Boat—One Piece Weighs Four and a Half Tons.

The largest boat ever constructed in Jasper county and doubtless one of the largest ever built in the state of Indiana, i# being built a short distance wes t of Rensselaer as the support of the massive boom and dipper to be used in the dredging of the lower Iroquois as provided by the specifications for the Borntrager ditch. To be appreciated the big boat must be seen, as it is almost impossible to describe it, so that the reader can appreciate its magnitude. The dimensions of the boat are

110 feet in length by 45 feet in width. The timbers in the boat’s frame are very massive and are held together by three-quarter inch bolts and 8inch spikes. The hull of the boat is seven feet high and the siding timbers are 7 inches thick and 12 inches in width and bolts are used to fasten them together, while the ends are cut bias and bolted together. The floor timbers are 4 inches thick and are held to the joists by 8-inch spikes. It is necessary to bore through these timbers and to use a washer over the spike, which are driven into the joists, which are about 12 inches /square. The largest timbers used in the construction of the boat are 30

inches square and 40 feet long. There are two of these and they weigh four and\a half tons each. They will be used as the spuds to support the boom and will stand vertical. Two pieces are 50 feet in length and 14 inches square, two pieces are SSvfeet long and 10x12 Inches in the other dimensions. By far the longest timbers and probably about the longest that were ever used in any construction work in this county are four pieces that are to be used in the construction of the boom. They are 10x20 inches and 90 feet in length. If they were used as the upright corners of a building they would accommodate nine stories with 10 foot ceilings. The larger timbers are of fir lumber and were furnished Charles Sternberg, the contractor, by the Edward Hines Lumber Go., of Chicago. The boom will be what is known as a knee boom and its length will be 86 feet. The great size and weight of the boat is jf necessary to support the boom, which will carry the dipper used on the tapper river construction and which is of 2% yards capacity. Considerable timber from the old boat was used in the construction of the new one, mainly for joist, and exteriorly the boat is of new timber, It will close-

ly resemble a battleship in dimensions wfhen completed, although, to be sure, it is only about an eighth as long. Its dimensions are almost as great as the new Kurrie garage. It will probably not be completed before August and Its launching will be of great interest and would afford the occasion of a big event if Rensselaer people cared to celebrate it. Of course, the boat is being built on dry land and the channel {s not nearly wide enough to accomodate it. Heavy timbers support it at a height of about 3y* feet from the ground and when the launching time comes the supports on the river side will be knocked out, the runners greased and the river dammed and the boat sMd off sidewise into the swollen stream. Already the big boat has been seen by a large number of visitors and the writer is indebted to O. A. Yeoman tor a visit by auto to the Iroquois ship yards. No person should miss seeing it for it is probably the largest boat by far than many people will ever get a chanee to.see.

The building force now consists of G. C. Jenkins, the foreman for Mr. Sternberg, and the following assistants, some of them experts in dredge boat building: H. G. Reinhart, of Winamac; Jesse Miles, of Star City; Lewis Wachnitz, of Medaryville; Yes Criswell, of Rensselaer; Charles Horters, of Monon; Dave Deardort of Mt. Ayr; and Richard Falver, of Oelina, Ohio. Mrs. Margaret Keller, of Fair Oaks, is the cook, and has charge of the boat houses that will be drawn after the dredge and used for kitchen, dining room and sleeping apartments. The boat is being constructed on the north bank of the river, just above the old sand banks and can be reached by the river road to a pasture gate east of the McColly farm, now occupied by Frank Biggs. 1 We are this week unloading another car of Wisconsin sand-grown rural potatoes, for late seed or fancy table usa 15c a peck or 50c a bushel.

A Classified Adv. will find it

MARRIAGE A SECRET FOR SEVEN MONTHS

Purdua Graduate and Rensselaer Girl Quietly Married at Waukegan, 111., Last November. Rumors to the effect that Walter English and. Miss Blanche Babcock had been secretly married several months ago have been floating about Rensselaer (or some time, but were not confirmed until Tuesday of this week, when the principals admitted that they had been man rled the 2nd day of last November at Waukegan, 111. Both are graduates of the Rensselaer high school and the groom is a member of the 1913 graduating class dt Purdue university. The object in keeping the marriage a secret was the fact that he was still a student at college. ‘ 1

The groom is the son of Dr. and Mrs. E. C. English, of Rensselaer, and the bride is the 'daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Babcock, of near Parr. Their marriage is the culmination of a courtship that was begun when the two were pupils in the Rensselaer Blgb school. Both are very popular with a large circle of friends in Rensselaer and at the home of the bride. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. J. W. Funston, at the M. E. parsonage at Waukegan, at 4:50 o’clock Saturday evening, November 2. Miss Babcock had gone to Chicago to meet Mr, English, who had been on a three days’ tour of inspection with the mechanical engineering class of Purdue, and he hastened to Chicago to meet Miss Babcock and they selected Waukegan as the place for having the ceremony performed. The bride’s sister, Miss Edna Babcock, was taken into the secret, but none others were informed and it was only last week that the bride’s parents learned of the wedding and the parents of the groom did not learn of it until Monday of this week.

Mr. English has completed a mechanical engineering course at Purdue University and has already accepted a position as instructor in manual training in the academy at Mclntosh, Minm, for which place himself and wife will depart Saturday of, this week, and where he will be employed during the summer months installing a heating plant in the school building. The Republican joins the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. English in wishing them a life of happiness.
