City Young Men Planned Long Hike—Gave It Up.

James R. Holway and George Mc.Nulty, two young men employed by board of trade firms in Chicago, spent several days of last week in Jasper county, visiting most of the time at the ‘home of Otto SChreeg, of Union township. They walked from Chicago to Parr and had planned to walk from there to South Bend and thence to Michigan, a total distance of about 200 miles and expecting to consume about two weeks in the ‘'hike.” They had only one object, that of pleasure, but the very hot weather of last week proved too much for their untrained condition and at the end of the fourth day’s march their feet were blistered and their hiking desires had quite entirely vanished. For the purpose of the march they ihad procured eotton khaki breeches and leggings and they also carried U. S. haversacks and other equipment. They were very intelligent young men. and were quite welcome visitors al the Sohreeg home and wherever they became acquainted. Mr. McNulty was a fine singer and this proved very enjoyable for their friends. They went to Monon by train Sunday and from there to Michigan <Qity and will make the balance of their trip by train and boat instead of “soldiering” it

Monon Also Adopted Plan of Naming Cars After Towns.

The Republican recently printed an article saying that the Pennsylvania railroad had named cars atter towus on its -route, such as "Kentland 1 ' and “Goodland.” We did not know at the time that the Monon route did this some time ago and that cars have been named “West Baden,” "Delphi,” “Tippecanoe,” and “Lafayette." So far as we are able to learn no car has been named after “Rensselaer,” and it Is probable that none have been manufactured fine enough for this name, but that it will be used Whenever an especially fine car is purchased.

WRITER TO FARMER IS GOING ABROAD

George Ade Interviewed in New York 1 While, Enroute to Paris— Crops Supplant Literature. New York, June 23.—George Ade arrived here in a new role today. He plans to sail for Eufope on fchte Imperator Wednesday. This time he is not going abroad as a humorist and writer to hunt for local color for a story or a comic opera, but as an Indiana agriculturist, Whose corn and oats have done so well by him that he looks forward for a restful two months to he divided between a motor trip through the chateau district of‘France and a study of the “little horses,” menu cards and automobile tariffs that help to make a season at a Les Baines. Agriculturist Ade was discovered at the Waldorf welcoming Thomas Taggart and other Indiana statesmen. In one brief sentence Mr. Ade disposed of any suggestion that he was working. He confessed to being a trustee of PuTdue University, of which tie is alumnus, and to being tremendously interested in the establishment of an agricultural department of that institution. Questioning drew a statement from Mr. Ade that unlike many persons in New work Who have "farms” in the country hereabouts, he doesn’t have to keep writing in order to keep his farm going. He said he had one of the finest crops of corn and oats this year that he had ever seen and spoke of the tremendous advance in the price of farms in Indiana since he went back to the land fifteen years ago, though he modestly depreciated a suggestion that that venture might have had anything to do with raising the price from SSO to S2OO an acre. “What has undoubtedly put up the price of land in Indiana so enormously is that It has been decided that the com belt can not extend further,” said Mr. Ade. “Beef is high and corn is.Jiigh, and it looks as if neither was going to be any cheaper. I happen to he a trustee of Purdue and we have decided to go extensively into agricultural education. We have had two government experts out there laying out plots of ground for ex perimental purposes and there Is considerable enthusiasm over the ■work. An exodus from the city to the farm Is bound to come.”

YOUTH INJURED IN FIGHT AT DANCE

Judson Michal Suffered Dislocation of Both Sides of Jaw When Struck by Opponent. '■ ■ * ■ ; \ v v >' V' , % “ Judson Michal, 16 years of age and son of Robert Michal, of north Union township, formerly of Rensselaer, suffered an injury at a dance at Virgie Saturday night that may cause him very serious .trouble. In fact, it was so bad that he is now a patient at the Michael Reese hospital in Chicago, with his lower jaw bone dislocated on both sides and a small piece 'broken off the right side of the lower jaw. The Republican has been unable to get a full account of the trouble that resulted dn the young man’s injury, hut Jud’s story is about as follows: That he and a young man named Williams were boxing hats Saturday evening while attending the dance and that he was getting the better of his opponent when another Williams boy, somewhat older and stronger than Jud, oame up from behind and knocked Jud down. Both of the Williams boys then started to give him a further pummeling when John Middlecamp, of near Knlman, interfered. The extent of Jud’s injury was not known until Sunday evening, When his mother brought him to a Rensselaer physician. He had gone home from the dance and not informed his parents of the trouble. The next day he also kept them from knowing it for some time, hut when he became worried he told his mother and she found that his lower jaw was loose from Ms upper jaw and 'hastened him to Rensselaer. The attending physieian placed the jaw in position twice hut it would not stay there. He called another physieian and the jaw was set three times but each time it became dislocated again. He was taken to the home of his uncle, Fred Waymire, and Monday morning on an early train was taken to Chicago, his parents and brother, Yern, and his physician accompanying him. At the Michael Reese hospital the jaw was again set and an effort made to wire it in place. This, however, proved a very difficult matter and there is considerable conjecture as to the outcome of the injury. Mr. Michael returned to his home by the way of Fair Oaks this Tuesday morning and reported that Judson had passed a had night. If 'the eircumtsances Sfe as stated by Judson to his parents, his assailant stands a chance of being severely punished, and it is understood the parents intend to cause his arrest as soon as the outcome of young Mlchal’s injuries are positively known.

UNITED PARTY CAN OVERTHROW DEMOCRATS

Former Vice President Fairbanks Says We Must “Forgive and Forget” If We Are to Win. Omaha, Neb., June 23.—Making “forget and forgive” the keynote of bis speech tonight, former Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks was given close attention at a banquet tendered him by 300 republican leaders of Nebraska. The gathering was fairly representative of both wings of the party in this state and good fellowship prevailed. Speaking qf the future, he said: “Now and then we have heard it said that the republican party has ended its career; that it is a party of the past rather than of the future. Such prophecy is not new, we have heard it proclaimed in other days.

“Circumstances which unfortunately led to party division a year ago no longer exist The democratic party is in full power and it can be overthorwn only by the united effort of the great body of those who believe in the soundness and efficacy of republican principles. “Republicans, that is to say those Who believe in the political doctrine of the party, are largely fn the majority throughout the country. I have no doubt whatever that the logic of events will bring them into co-operation again. This much-to-bedesired result can not be accomplished by coercion of any sort; it must come naturally, by the exercise of a spirit of tolerance and patience; old scores should be forgotten; as President McKinley happily put it—‘lt does not do to keep books In polities.’ ”
