Try our corn and oats chop for your cow or horses.—lroquois Roller Mills, Phone 456. Mrs. Hal Sheetz and daughter Florence, of spent yesterday with Mrs. J. D. Allman. The patriotic picture, “Cinderella’s Gloves,” will be an eye opener for you in the comedy line. At Princess tonight. Wolcott and Monon croquet players were victorious. We thought Monon would take to croquet after the trimming their ball team received in Rensselaer. Monon is talking about some form of entertainment and a meeting of business men has been called for next Monday evening to devise the ways and means.

A new school house will be built in Jackson township, Newton county, to replace the Wright school house burned last spring. The contract will be let Aug. 22. Try our aspirated cracked corn and corn grits for your chickens. Highest quality,'and the cheapest. No waste in feeding.—lroquois Roller Mills, Phone 456. The Republican will take your order for any kind of rubber stamps, ink pads, etc. They are very handy in business and are inexpensive. Mr. and Mrs. Ad. Robinson left this morning for their home npnr Bloomfield, Mo., after a pleasant visit of tw’o weeks with their many relatives in Jasper county. The kellestone is being applied to J. J. Montgomery’s new bungalow today and certainly makes a fine appearance. Frank Turner and Isaac Kepnef are doing the work. J. Lester Haberkorn, the singer, who was at Goodlaud yesterday with the Chattsworth rooters, came to Rensselaer with L. A. Harmon and remained with him until this afternoon.

C. B. Wells was in from Barkley township today. He has not been feeling very well this year and consequently has not been able to do very much work and has about decided to quit the farm and locate in town and may decide to purchase property. Two field examiners are at work in Newton county, examining the books of the clerk and sheriff. Each examiner draws $8 per day. Jasper county will probably get another cluster of these uninvited guests within a few days. They form a part of the democratic tax-reducing program begun four years ago. Wherever we go or whatever we do ths germ bogy haunts us. The other day a French bacteriologist found his son making mud pies and decided to examine the mud. In it he found 1,800,000 germs of diptherla, 300,000 of small pox, 3,000,000 of tetanus, 575,000 of pneumonia and 620,000 of tuberculosis. We should feel thankful that he took the time to count them.

J. P. Simons, editor of the White County Democrat, has announced his application for the postoffice. Brother Simons is an able man and an honest and fearless advocate of right as he understands it and we believe his appointment would be worthy recognition of a faithful and well spent life. We hope that he receives the appointment to the office he seeks.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

Hehry Phillips, of Newland, deceived a, telegram this morning in’iorming him of the death of his father at Cornwall, Ontario, Can. Patriotic people will be inspired by the Princess show tonight. One of the films is the “Flag of Two Wars.” , Mr. and Mrs. George Gautheir and two daughters returned to Chicago today after a visit here with Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Hartley, the ladies being sisters. J. E. Roach, of Chattsworth, 111., who accompanied his home town ball team to Goodland yesterday, and then came on to Rensselaer with his old friend, William Traub, remained here over night.

The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kurrie, which was quite sick the first of the week, is now much better and apparently has passed the crisis and will have no further trouble. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young is to continue as superintendent of Chicago’s public schools. Her decision was announced yesterday following the refusal of the board of education by a vote of 14 to 1 to accept her resignation. Mrs. Blanche Sigler and two children, of Tulsa, Okla., who have been visiting her mother, Mrs. W. S. Coen, went to Kersey yesterday to visit the family of Frank E. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis came for them in their automobile. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Epworth League at Indianapolis yesterday, Buffalo, N. Y., was awarded the next meeting, July 1-5, 1914, of the quadrennial convention of the Epworth League of the World; Trustee Tunis Snip was down from Keener township today. He has just received a catalogue of the county fair to be held this month at Lamar, Mo„ where he has a brother living. His brother, by the way, is in charge of the cattle and dairy stock exhibit. Trustee Snip hopes to attend the fair this year.

Rensselaer and vicinity did not get any rain Thursday afternoon or night as had been promised. It was cloudy much of the time and had the appearance of rain, but rain did not come. There must have been rain not very far a way, however, as the temperature is very "much cooler. In Tippecanoe county there was quite a storm at 1:30 o’clock Thursday, quite a severe wind and hail storm occurred. Three thrashers took refuge under the separator and the lightning struck near the machine and all were severely shocked. The Purdue orchards were wrecked, grain damaged and tomato vines stripped. Several trees on the Purdue campus were blown down.

Milroy Park is certainly a very beautiful place and it has been admirably attended this year by Tom Cox, who keeps the grass cropped short and everything welt tended. Parks are not much patronized in small cities but there is only one time to acquire them and that is when the towns are small. They cost too much later on. If the plans contemplated by the petition for the purchase of a city park are carried out, it would be a fine thing if the Strong tract could be purand then the old Kannal property now owned by F. M. Parker at the corner of College and Milroy avenues. The old house could be torn away and the premises made very attractive. As the Strong tract extends to the river across from the cemetery, a driveway could be established along the river bank and two approaches to the cemetery made. If the real estate can be bought at a reasonable price the city should lose no time in contracting fbr it.

Editor Bartoo, of the Remington Press, evidently desiring to injure the writer, gives us a conspicious place in the mention of the ball game at Remington last Sunday. Editor Bartoo lies with a grace equal to his lack of information. He states that the writer is the business manager of the Athletics ball team. That is absolutely false as we have nothing whatever to do with the business management. He states that at the end of the seventh inning the writer made a demand for 60 per cent of the gate receipts. That is absolutely false. George H. Healey, to whom he made reference and who is the writer of this paragraph, made no such demand. He had nothing to do In any manner with the business settlement, did not meet the manager or acting manager of the Remington team, or negotiate with any person regarding the gate money, and did not even know on what terms the game was played nor what the receipts were. He was at the game merely by the chance of having been asked by County Auditor Hammond to take his daughter and go to Remington with Mr. Hammond and his wife. The charge is not a very serious one, but as the writer did no more than watch the game, as some three hundred other people did, it is easy to see in the tone of Bartoo the desire to misrepresent and a willingness to He right and left to accomplish that end. Fairness would result in a correction, but from long acquaintance with mqshfooted Horace we hardly expect him to do anything that smacks of fairness.

IMMENSE CROWD SAW THE AEROPLANE

Goodland Made Good With Flying Machine and Entertained the Largest Gathering In History.

Half or more of the people of. Rensselaer seem to have been at Goodland Thursday. Likewise- of the surrounding country. Practically every privately owned car and all the garage cars were in use transporting people to &Ur neighboring town to witness the aeroplane flights and the ball game. . Goodland, disappointed on July 4th at not having an aeroplane, which had been so extensively advertised, made good with interest Thursday and largest crowd that ever gathered in that place and one of the largest crowds ever assembled in any small town or city in this part of the great domain was given a splendid exhibition of aeronatics, while a big lot of the crowd also saw a splendid ball game between Goodland and Chattsworth, 111., old rivals.

The aeroplane flights, one in the morning and the other in the late afternoon, were splendid exhibitions and the crowd was delighted. The ascension was made from the baseball park and some estimate the crowd that saw the afternoon flight at 8,000 people. It was also estimated that there were 750 automobiles within the ball park enclosure. The aeronaut had no trouble in either flight. The day was ideal, little air stirring and yet not nearly so warm as the day before. The machine remained up about 15 minutes each time, ascended to a considerable altitude and circled about under perfect control of the driver. It alighted at almost the identical spot from which it ascended.

The ball game was readily won by Goodland, although the contest was very Interesting and the playing snappy and clean. Goodland has been using hired batteries all year, getting a pitcher and catcher from Chicago. This time they procured the services of Clyde Richter, formerly of the Chicago Cubs, later of the Louisville team in the American Association and now said to be playing with a Chicago independent team. The reported cause of his release from the Cubs was an injury that has left him permanently crippled. He was away ahead of any pitcher that has played in this neck of the country for some time and struck out 15 (Chattsworth batters. He also proved to be some batter, and once when the bases were crowded he brought three an with a mighty swat. Later he brought in two more with another smash. He was required to run to first base, which he did with difficulty owing to being crippled. At first another run would be substituted. and thus sonje delay was occasioned. The final score was 11 to 2 in favor of Goodland. The gate receipts are said to have been S6OO. Rensselaer people were all much pleased with the ball game and the aeroplane and one and all report that “Goodland made good” with both feet.

Can’t Fool the Farmer.

Senator Simmons, in reply to the charge that the pending tariff bill sacrifices the farmer by taking the tariff off all he produces, points to the reductions made in the tariff on agricultural implements. What proportion of the cost of farm production does Senator Simmons imagine the cost of farm machinery constitutes? The cost of machinery and raw materials means much to the manufacturer, but it means very little to the farmer. No one doubts the. immediate competitive effect of free trade in agricultural products. The situation with respect to agricultural machinery is very different. There is no assurance whatever that there will be any reduction at all in the price of the output of agricultural implements as they reach the farmer.

The farmer, at the best, is taking a certain reduction in the price of all he produces in exchange for an uncertain reduction in the price of articles which do not constitute more than ten per cent of his production cost. Senator McCumber is right in his statement that the farmer is the “goat” of the Underwood-Simmons-Wilson bill. Not only will he lose out by reason of the decreased price received for what he produces, but h$ has ahead a prospect of losing the home market which is his nearest and best market. The sophistries of those who stand sponsor for the new tariff bill will not go down with the hard headed American farmer who knows on which side his bread Is buttered. —lndiana State Journal.

There persons were killed, a score or more were seriously injured and thousands’ of dollars’ damage was inflicted on government and private property by two storms of wind, rain and lightning, which joined forces from the northeast and northeast and swept over Washington, D. C., shortly after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

CITY WAS GRANTED EXTENSION OF TIME

Schedule Of Rates And Inventory (of Light And Water Plant j To Be Filed Before Long. Z City Attorney Leopold, who appeared before the state utilities commission for the city, asked and w r as granted an extension of time for filing the schedule of rates charged by the city for electric light and water service and a schedule of all equipment. This is being required of all' companies and the blanks which were sent heer* contained 22 questions, all directed in a manner to indicate that the commission expected the plants to be owned by private capital. Municipally owned plants are also expected to supply the answers and it is probable that rates will eventually be based upon the physical *valuation the same as those of corporation and private ownership. The schedules were to have been filed by July 15th and a fine was provided for failure. It was impossible to answer all the questions without making a complete inventory of the equipment and this took time and the extension asked by Attorney Leopold was granted. Mr. Leopold also discussed with the commission the question of telephone rates and service. The Jasper County Telephone Co. surrendered its franchise some two weeks ago. The franchise would have expired on Aug. 15th. By the terms of the new utilities law the company can continue to operate without a franchise and no other company can be granted a right to operate within the same city. It can not, however, increase its rates and these will eventually be adjusted by the commission based upon thfe valuation of the plant. The city council can require a plant and service of any standard and the operating company can appeal from the demands of the council to the commission. It is the tion of the council to require a modern plant in Rensselaer and this, it is understood, meets the approval of the Jasper County Telephone Co. There may be some disagreemen t wh en the time comes as to the present valuation of the plant, which will be taken into, consideration when the rates are established, but the commission is Working out a fair basis to be applied in all places. It is probable that all telephones and light wires along the -main streets will be cabeled under the .ground. If not they will be required to go down the alleys, thus making the streets free from wires apd much better for the cluster lights which will doubtless be installed before long. »Attorney Leopold says that the commission is working out the provisions of the law, the uncertain wording of which gives frequent room for disagreement and on some matters the members of the commission are not altogether agreed at this time. The visit was a timely one, however, and the city attorney is now in a position to advise the council in many ways that he would not have been had he not made this trip to Indianapolis.

A very strong wind occurred Thursday shortly after midnight, occasioning a drop of probably 20 degrees in the temperature within a few minutes. A friend whd" was aroused from his slumbers by the wind described it as follows to The Republican: “I never observed such a peculiar wind. I had gone to sleep when all of a sudden I was conscious of a strong wind blowing across my body. I jumped to my feet amt' the wind was blowing so hard that I stepped out of the house expecting to see some damage. The sky was perfectly clear, the wind was blowing at perhaps 40 miles an hour. Large trees were whipping in the wind and the air was chilly, the wind blowing almost directly from the north. I was- fearful that the storm would terminate in a hurricane and thought of the storm at Washington, which came out of a clear sky just as this did. It was almost a half hour before the wind subsided. There was no difficulty sleeping after that. A spread of extra covers was necessary to make one warm enough.” There were a number of people who did not know that the wind blew so violently during the night and were surprised when told about it this morning.

Missing Iffff husband shortly after 3 o’clock yesterday morning and suspecting that he. might have become a victom of his own melancholy, Mrs. John Rost of Ft. Wayne hurried to a barn on the rear of the premises,', where she found his dead body hanging from a rafter. Rost had been in bad health for nearly a year. Senator J. Hamilton Lewis has come to the conclusion that, the “old man” of the family has 1 not received proper recognition from a grateful country although the nation hag honored the other members of the American household. As a result he announced yesterday his intention to introduce a bill ratting aside July 29 as Father’s day. Already there Is a Mother's day and a Children’s day.

HANGING GROVE.

Simon Cook has bought a new Ford car and it was delivered to him Wednesday. Wednesday was cleaning day lor Wilson Bussell. He cleaned his store room from one end to the other which will add materially to the health conditions as well as appearance Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bussell and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bussell assisted him in this work. A couple of men from near Buffalo are camped here, hauling ties for the C. & W. V. The weather is so very warm that it makes tie hauling exceptionally hard work.

In the case of Lawrence Sayler vs. Belle Sayler,' on a ch&fge of assault and battery, before Squire Bussell Tuesday afternoon, the defendant was acquitted on the ground'that there was no evidence to prove the charge preferred. This is rather a pitiful case as these parents have a sweet little girl of eleven years, and what a shame it is they can’t get along for her sake The big rain here Monday evening came at the time and will be a big help toward making the corn, etc. But the wind did quite a bit of minor damage. The lightning also struck in numerous places but no serious damage occurred, except a couple of hay stocks being burned, one on the Linback farm, near Pleasant Ridge, and one on the R. M. Jordan farm, Several oat stocks were struck and burned, and the wind blew a good deal of corn down.

Arthur Williamson suffered another attack of heart trouble at the home of C. W. Bussell Tuesday, during the trial of the Sayler family. The heat and excitement was probably the cause. The spell lasted perhaps an hour and for a while the outcome'Tvould be fatal. A Rensselaer doctor was called and treated, and he was soon able to go to his home. Mrs. J. R. Phillips went to Monon Tuesday to consult the doctor, - Mrs. Clarence Messenger and children, Mrs. Louis Messenger and three sons visited at Mr. Johnsons and friends at McOoysburg, when returning to their home in Rensselaer, Thursday morning.

Obituary of Lewis M. Jacks.

Lewis M>-Jacks was born in White county Jan. 7, 1855, and was 58 years, -6 months and 22 days old at the time of his death. He was the youngest son of Isaac and Deborah Jacks who were pioneer settlers near Lee. He was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca Hoover July 23, 1883, who with a son Charles and daughter Lona survives him- His long residence in White county gave him a wide acquaintance and surrounded him with many friends. He had been supervisor a number of years, which office he held at the time of his death. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. David E. Noland of the Lee M. E. church in the presence of a large congregation of mourning relatives and friends. The following named relatives served as pall bearers: 8. L. Johnosn, Sam Jacks, Alf Jacks, Will Jacks, Joe Clark and Chas. Lefler. Interment was made In the Osborn demetery in Jasper county.

Importers Get Ready.

The New York Sun states that foreign made products to the value of $70,000,000 are in bond at the port of New York preliminary to being thrown upon the American market immediately upon the enactment of the new tariff. It is expected that by the time the law goes into effect the value of goods in bond will have increased to SIOO,000,000. The importers will save a great deal of money in the tariff to be paid upon these articles, and what is the government’s loss will be their gain. The goods are consigned not to consumers, but to importing houses; these In turn wilt .sell them to the jobbers, the jobbers to the wholesalers, the wholesalers to the retailers and the retailers to the consumer. Who will get the advantage of the reduction in cost price? Will it all be benevolently passed on to the consumer? That is contrary to human nature. The various factors in the process of distribution will all take their toll. Goods will continue to be sold to the consumer for what the traffic will bear. The difference between the old and the new way, principally, will be that where heretofore an American purchaser meant work for an American consumer, this will not so often be the cas’e hereafter. We wonder why It is always assumed that if the jobber can buy goods at the importing house somewhat cheaper than at the American factory door, the saving will necessarily be passed on the ultimate consumer. A big and increasing* gap already yawns between the factory door price and the price paid by the merchant. The faith that prevails in the benevolence of all the middlemen is sublime, but time will tell whether It has any real foundation in fact.
