John Einsele, Ex-Chief of Polio? of Hammond, Killed While Crossing Monon Track. Another frightful Automobile accident happened Wednesday noon at the Clintbn street crossing of the Monon in Hammond, when aman was killed by a Monon flyer. The train, northbound, crashed over the crossing and into an auto truck containing John Einsele, former chief of police of Hammond, and Joseph Kolb. Einsele’s headj was split open. Death was instantaneous. Kolb’s skull was fractured and he cannot live at Saint Margaret’s hospital, where he was taken. This is tjse same crossing where Contractor John Prohl, ''of Hammond, was hurled into eternity a few weeks ago. The truck was driven by Einsele and Kdlb was sitting in the seAt next to him on the left. They were going east. The south gate was up while the north gate was slightly lowered, enabling the machine to p&ss through With no difficulty. The machine was barely moving and the attention of the occupants was centered on a lone northbound Erie switch, engine. They saw Flagman Bewanger signal them and thinking it wag* for the switch engine the machine was driven ahead, while their view was cut off from the north and south by box cars. The Monon train bore down upon them, the engine striking the right side of the truck and hurlipg humanity and machine, wood and steel in all directions. The train was traveling at such a rate of speed that it was not brought <tb a stop until it reached the Monon depot. Einsele, who was driving on the right side of the truck, was killed instantly. His head was split in two and, his body was found forty feet away in one of the broken wheels of the truck. Kolb was found In an unconscious condition ton feet away from Einsele’s dead body. He was rushed to St. Margaret’s hospital. He suffered b severe fractured skull and internal injuries and is not ’ expected to live.

FOUNTAIN PARK A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

This Year’s Session Will Show a Balance Exceeding s7oo—Plans for Next Year Being Made. --- w- - ' 11 'p— "I* Fountain Park enjoyed the best year it has had since its organization and the balance of receipts over expenses this year will exceed S7OO,- possibly as much as SBOO. The session closed last Sunday and was in every manner a splendid one andit is gratifying to know that not only as a business matter was it successful, but more • particularly that those who spent the sixteen days on the grounds had one of the most pleasant periods of their lives. The social feature of the assembly was also the best in its history. ' Already has Charles H. Peck, the secretary, and the other offices associated with him begun planning for the next year meeting. And the plans include an effort to make beautiful Fountain Park still more attractive by some contemplated improvements. " “Just what we will do,” said Mr. Peck to a Republican reporter, “I can not say definitely at this time. We will spend whatever money we have on hand for improvements and if we think we can see our way clear we may build a big restaurant and dining hall arid them transform the hotel into all sleeping apartments, cutting .up the living room arid utilizing all space available for rooms and then running the hotel and restaurant on the European plan. There was a demand this year for accommodations which we were unable to supply. Many wanted cottages, but would have been glad to have procured sleeping quarters within the grounds. We turned away a large number, and had about five hundred quartered there throughout the session as it was. We want all of ouryfri&nds there and will do all that can be done to accommodate them another year. You understand that the cottages do not. belong to the association, but are pll privately owned. It occurs every year that some who have cottages are unable to come and the policy is always to permit the renting of these to others. This year there were not many for rent.” Mr. Peck stated that the project of curtailing the length of the. assembly was diseussed, but that it was almost unanimously opposed. The cottagers particularly urged that sixteen days was the very minimum for the meeting and if there was to be any- change- it should be increased instead of decreased. \ The friends of the association everywhere will be pleased to learn of the success this year and will aid in the plans to make next year and succeeding years still better.

Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.' “I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the'Ynerchant here, persuaded me to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera apd Diarrhoea Remedy.

MANY COMPLIMENTS FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA

Large Audiences Attended First Days Meetings—Something None Should Miss. The Chautauqua opened in Rensselaer Wednesday afternoon under the most favorable circumstances and indications point to a very successful meeting. The singing of the Wehrman Ladies’ Quartette was very pleasing, as also was the reading by Miss Elsie. Wrate. Major McCloughry, who substituted for Warden J. K. Codding, spoke at both the afternoon and evening sessions and his talks were very interesting and instructive. Major McCloughry was not feeling very well and is quite old and has not the dash of Warden Codding, but he impressed those who followed him closely., as being correct in his theories in connection with correctional measures for criminals. New talent arrives each day and the program changes are entire. Tonight (Thursday) Dr. Aaron S. Watkins speaks from the subject, “Fools and Failures.” Prof. Louis Williams gives his entertainment, “Wonders of Electricity,” and the Musical Artists will give theiT extremely interesting vocal and instrumental numbers. This will be a splendid program that none should miss. We wish to entreat our friends in the country to come in and attend all of these lectures and entertainments possible. It is ; not often in your lives that you have an opportunity to hear such splendid entertainment so close to your homes and you will be benefited if you arrange to attend every program. Many of the town people are missing a single number. Remember, there will be a splendid entertainment Sunday afternoon and night. A sermon-lecture at each service by that very energetic Irishman, Dr. James S. Corkey. You will never forget the things be tells you in his afternoon subject, “As An Irishman Sees It.” The work of James R. Barkley as a Crayon artist and clay modeling genius will also prove very pleasing. The Chautauqua will be the best thing in the lives of many and the first opportunity we have ever had to enjoy so splendid a program right at home. Come in afternoon and evening an<j enjoy it from start to finish. -

COUNTY COUNCIL HELD UP APPROPRIATION

Members Decide Not to Provide for County Agricultural Agent Unless Compelled to. The matter of appropriating money for a county agricultural agent came up before the county counci] at their annual meeting this week and after passing the appropriation because the law required it to be done, the members of the council engaged in some discussion of the matter and all seemed to be of the mind that the services possibly Were not worth the amount they would cost, and it was decided to withhold action for the time and the order for the appropriation was stricken from the report'of the meeting. At the May meeting of the council an appropriation was made for the agent, the interpretation being placed upon the action that it was for six months, or the balance of the calendar year. There is a possibility that a full year’s appropriation may legally be claimed. The council Is made up largely of farmers, and progressive ones, too, but they have not been able to satisfy themselves, so far, that the expenditure of 12,000 a year for an agricultural expert is a justifiable one. Their action is in no manner directed against Omnty Agent Barrett personally, as he has been very energetic with his work, but In their discussion they all expressed the belief that his services will not be used to any great extent and’ that the greater part of his time will be unemployed with the farmers. The law may compel the council to make the appropriation, but the attitude of the six members present at the annual meeting walk against the appropriation and to delay any action, for the time being, at least. If the appropriation is not made, H is quite probable that Jasper county will not have a county agent after Dec. 31st, when the money appropriated in May wfil have been expended.
