THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND

LARGEST BUSINESS IN ROAD’S HISTORT

Increased Travel and More Freight -••• Justify Many Improvements on The,O. & W. V. Rfr. Frank E. Lewis, Vice-President and General Manager; and C. J. Hobbs, Chief Engineer of the Chicago & Wabash Valley railroad, came from Kersey Tuesday and with N. G. Halsey, secretary and treasurer of the road, are engaged in making the annual report of the road for the state railway cofnmission and the interstate commerce commission. Part of their time is being taken up in attending the taking of the deposition of Harrison Armstrong, a young man who has a damage suit against the Gifford railroad.

In talking with a reporter for The Republican the officers stated that the past year’s business has been materially the best the Chicago & Wabash Valley had ever had, which indicates the wisdom of Mr. Gifford in building the road through his large area of land. For want of funds the road had run down a great deal during the past few years, when Mr. Gifford put all of his money into the extension program. Since Mr. Gifford’s death the new officers have decided to look after the territory through which the road had been completed. and to repair the roadbed there instead of trying to extend it. The result has been very satisfactory. Within a year 25,000 new ties have been used in repairing the roadbed, and section hands have been giving the road careful attention under the direction of Engineer Hobbs. The improvement has made a considerable change in the appearance of the road, as well as proving a great advantage in the movement of trains. The every-other-day schedule is being maintained for the regular train, but the increase of freight business has required that frequent special trains be run and the business has grown so materially that indications are favorable to the installation of regular daily service within a few months. A new traffic agreement has been entered into with the Monon railroad by which the roads now exchange business in car lots at McCoysburg. This will prove a decided advantage to both roads and to shippers. It will result in the branch elevators owned by Babcock & Hopkins along the C. & W. V. getting a better price for grain, which h eretofore had to be transferred from one ear to another in being shipped here and prevented these elevators paying a price that competed for business for the elevators at Medaryville and Francesville. As the grain can now be shipped directly to Rensselaer in car lots the farmers along the line will be able to get a better price and the grain will be hauled to Newland, Pleasant Grove and Gifford that formerly went to Francesville.

The development of /the country along the route, especially along the Kankakee river, and the large onion crop at Newland is giving impetus to the business. More stock is shipped over the, road each year that there was before. The passenger traffic is also better and the officers are vefy much encouraged and expect to continue the improvements and to go after all the business they can get. The north end of the line is receiving the same attention as the south end and the roadbed all the way to Dinwiddie, the northern extension, is being improved.

New Fall Hats, Caps, Sweater Coats, Shoes. and Furnishings for the entire family can be purchased at Rowles & Parker’s “Big Store,” for less money than any place in this city. President Wilson has nominated William Hayne Leavell, a retired clergyman of Carrolton, Miss., for minister to Guatemala. If you want a tailormade or made to measure Suit or Overcoat it will pay you to look over our line. We are showing 1,000 different patterns from the Kahn Tailoring Co., Indianapolis, which is the largest exclusive tailoring house in the world. 0. EARL DUVALL. DON’T BE MISLED

County Superintendent Lamson is not yet ready to announce the program nor to disclose the instructors employed, but one of the most successful institutes ever held here is expected. There will probably be a demand for accommodations for the visiting teachers and any persons who have rooms or can board teachers for those few days should notify the county superintendent.

Harrison Armstrong and “Bunk” Zook Arrested for Killing Prairie Chickens. Deputy Sheriff Gus Grant this Wednesday morning placed Harrison Armstrong and Clarence Zook, the latter known by the nickname of “Bunk,” under arrest on the charge of killing prairie chickens, while an additional charge of trespass is lodged against Armstrong. Affidavits were made against these young men about a month ago by Maurice foreman on one of J. J. Lawler’s ranches. They could not be found by Constable Parks, who had the affidavits, but today showed up in Rensselaer, where Armstrong was to have his deposition taken in his suit against the C. & W. V. railroad. Deputy Gus Grant saw them and served the warrants. The men were taken before Squire Irwin, who admitted them to bail in the sum of SIOO for each case.

BABCOCK DISPLAYS VERY BAD TEMPER

Editor of The Democrat After Losing Postoffice Takes Vicious Digs at Party Leaders. ■ _>**’ ■■ The loss of the postoffice has almost driven Editor Babcock to the bug house. Instead of being a good loser, coming out like a gentleman and acknowledging his defeat and wishing his opponent well, he literally burned the ink with his scalding criticism against the man who had defeated him and all of his assistants and endorsers. He charged Congressman Peterson with being a tool of Charles J. Murphy, the district chairman, and cute capers that would make a bench hound with turpentine under his tail, look like a piker. J. A. McFarland, the grocer, a leading citizen and a staunch democrat, is spoken of in the most scathing terms, libelous if Mr. McFarland were to pursue the tactics of Babcock and start a legal action. Not content with assailing the very flower of the democratic party in this city and county and with attacking District Chairman Murphy and National Committeeman Taggart, he assails the democratic legislature as being composed of political freebooters and highwaymen. , Bab acted very much like a 5-years-old boy on a tantrum and his cheap wail has been a ery amusing to both democrats and republicans.

Mr. McFarland realizes that not many people who have known him for so many years will take anything that Babcock says very seriously and the attempt so maliciously made to do him a business injury is having no effect, while the puerile tantrum of this comic supplement editor will probably be corrected with a dpse of castoroil. It will be interesting for some of the good people who have trusted this self-praised editor to get out the flies of his paper during that period ten years ago when he was telling how corrupt everybody else was' and then place before it the agreement Bab had with the other publishers. Bab is the finest living example of the old saying “Give him rope enough and he will hang himself.” His-tirade of Wednesday makes h'im the joke of the decade. He has outdone his bitterest enemies in making himself ridiculous.
