New Time Table Will Go Into Effect Next Sunday.

The putting of another train into service next Sunday will probably considerably alter the old train schedule on several runs. The new 'table has not been issued yet and may not be before Saturday. This will make it impossible to advertise the new schedule and persons who are planning to go away had better make certain by coming to the station a little early. One important change and one that will J)e very acceptable in Rensselaer is that No. 36, the Indianapolis train now, due at 5:57 a. m., will hereafter make regular stops. This will permit persons coming from Monticello and Delphi and other points on the apolls division to come to Rensselaer without being set off at Monon to aiwait the milk train. It will also be a fine train for persons going to Chicago as it arrives in the city a little after 8. o’clock. It is the impression that No. 6, due here at 3r38 p. m., by the present schedule, will not Stop at Fair Oaks, but will stop at Shelby. This would make it impossible to make the C. & E. I. connection at Fair Oaks and would prove a great inconvenience to persons from the north part of the county, as No. 6 so frequently fails to connect with the Either No. 6 or No. 38 should be required to make the Fair Oaks atop, just as they do now, and in • view of the number who travel by that route there should be a required stop at Fair Oaks of either one or the other train. It is thought probable that No. 5, now due 'here at 11:09 a. m., from Chicago, will be run considerably later, possibly about 12 o’clock.

Funeral of Will Thomson Will Be at 10 O’clock Thursday.

The hour of William Thomson’s funeral will be 10 o’clock Thursday morning, instead of 9 o’clock as stated In the Tuesday Republican. It will be at St. Augustine’s Catholic church.

The Butte, Mont., Miner, of April 17th, gives an extended account of mine development in which the Makeever brothers, Jjphn, Sanford and Mell, are the prime movers, furnishings the capital and superintending the work.. The Miner relates that the Makeever Brothers are furnishing the capital to develop the Royal Basin Mining and Milling 00., of Granite county, .which has been paying good dividends even with crude equipment, and the Makeevers were to ‘put in all modern mining machinery and thus make it possible to secure much better dividends. The paper also tells of the operations of the Makeevers in old Mexico, telling of the development of the properties of the El Favor, Amparo and Mololoa Companies, among the best producing mines of Mexico. The Makeever boys were sons of Madison Makeever and eousins of Mrs. Almira Stockton and Mrs. Cordelia Williams. Mrs. W. S. Coen was their step-mother. They still maintain offices in New York and Boston and have been quite successful in their mining investments.

Another Mother of Civil War Veteran in Jasper Co.

. The Republican’s effort to locate living mothers of veterans of the Civil War has resulted in finding three in Jasper county. The two previously mentioned were Mrs. Mary Morgan, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. Galbraith, of Barkley township. The third is Mrs. Elizabeth Braddock, who lives with her son, Lincoln Braddock, of Walker township. She is the mother of W. Tresse Smith, of Chicago. The 18th day of the coming! August Mrs. Braddock will be 84 years of age. She is enjoying very good health and is able to do her own housework. Are there any others? The Republican will be more than pleased to mention the mothers of veterans of the Civil War. Where lenown, it will be interesting to have the letter of the company and number and state of the regiment to which the soldier belonged.

MOMENCE SUNDAY; TRIP IN AUTOS

Momence Team Will Be Here Without Fail to Meet Athletics—Defeated at Wheatfield Sunday. The Momence baseball team will be here next Sunday to play the Athletics and a good game can be expected. The manager of the Momence team called Manager Kiplinger by telephone Tuesday to make sure that the team > was expected and to say that they had found that the trip could be best made by autos. The manager also asked that some bills he sent and indicated that’ there will be some Momence rooters make the trip with the team. Last Sunday Momence met defeat at Wheatfield by the score of 10 to 3. Lou Jensen was in the box for Wheatfield and struck out ten of the visitors.

MARTIN AND ROGERS FAMILIES IN COURT

Plenty'of Charges But No Witnesses and All Are Acquitted by Justice Irwin. Mrs. Evelyn Rogers, who is alleged to have interfered with the domestic bliss of the William Martin family by means of alienation, was a defendant in a state case before Justice Irwin Tuesday. Mrs. Rogers, who is about 22 years of age, was charged with carrying concealed weapons. Mrs. Martin and son and daughter were the complainants and the son was the witness for the state. No attorneys appeared for either side. The yfiung man said he. had seen Mrs. Rogers with, a pistol partly concealed in the folds of her apron. The state had no other witnesses. Mrs. Rogers said that what she had in her apron was a borrowed flatiron and a can of lye which she had purchased at Remley’s Store. Mrs. Rem : ley testified to the same. The defendant was dismissed. Mrs. Martin was also a defendant in an assault and battery case. Her daughter, Mrs. Plaekman, was a codefendant. Mrs. Rogers alleged that they had attacked her and knocked her an the ditch. The defendants told the same stories, to the effect that Mrs. Rogers had passed their house and seeing Mrs. Blackman had held up a ring and. Said: “See the pretty ring your father gave me.” Mrs. Blackman said she asked to see the ring at closer range and that when she got within reach Mrs. Rogers “pasted” her one. Mrs. Martin said she came to her daughter’s aid and devoted herself to rescuing the daughter and not to attacking Mrs. Rogers. She said the latter stumbled and fell into the ditch. These defendants wire also discharged. Both parties were anxious to start new proceedings but Justice Irwin informed them that he was too busy and recommended that they try Justice Bruner. The husbands of the beligerent women have so far kept out of the fray, although Rogers is said to have talked some about “going gunning himself.”

COUNTY AGENT TO BE HERE JULY 1ST

Board of Education Accepted O. G. Barrett, Who # Waa Recom- ‘ mended by Pnrdne. * O. G. formerly of Michigan, where he attended the agricultural college for two years, later graduating frqm Illinois university and then taknig a year’s special work at the Missouri University at Columbia, Mo., will be the agricultural agent for Jasper county, the township trustees ratifying’ a recommendation made by Purdue University through its manager of county agents, T. A. Coleman, of Rushville.

Mr. Coleman addressed at some length-the members of the board of trustees, all but three of whom were present, the absentees being Karoh, of Walker; Porker, of Hanging Grove; and Keen, of Wheatfield. Mr. Coleman said that Mr. Barrett was a very able man and ihad six years practical farm experience be sides his education^in three colleges. He Is a married man and will move to Rensselaer and begin his labors by the first of July. He will re eeive a salary of $2,000 a year and will be required to have an automobile or other conveyance for travel about the county. He will go wherever called to advise and instruct in agricultural subjects. The selection is made for. a period of one year and at the end of that time a new man may be chosen provided it is decided to.continue the plan of hiring an expert “farmer” for the county, Mr. Coleman stated that Mr. Barrett had engaged in research work and was particularly able in farm management, while this thesis at graduation was “Work Stock Management” He will maintain an office and Superintendent Lamson stated that one would be provided in the court house. Here he can be called by farmers who want his expert opinion or instruction. If he is not able to give the advice desired he will write to Purdue and get ideas from there.

Jasper is the tenth county In the state to adopt the county agent plan as provided by the last legislature. The total amount available is $3,000. Of this amount SSOO was salsed by subscription, $1,500 was appropriated 'by the county council and SI,OOO romes from the state. After the salary is paid there still remains SI,OOO. After the first year the subscription is not taken but the council is required to appropriate $1,500 and the state SI,OOO for each county. The argument that was used in passing the law providing for the county agents was that there is a big waste on the farm and that a man should be handy to give assistance in a scientific way to guard against the waists, the neglect, etc., on the farms. Mr. Barrett should be able to tell our farmers what feed to uee-to get the best results in fattening cattle, -how to guard against disease, how to treat hog cholera, how to rotate crops, how to select seed corn, how to raise alfalfa and a thousand and one things that many farmers have been negligent about in the past. He should be able to tell how to make the farm pay better than you have been making it pay. While at first The Republican had its doubts about the wisdom of the experiment, we now believe that there are great possibilities in the development of the agricultural interests of the country and we hope to be able to co-operate with Mr. Barrett in many ways. The columns of this paper will be free for him to discuss any topic he deems to be of value to the fanners. The county board of education has been called to meet again the first Tuesday in July to make the acquaintance of Mr. Barrett.
