Lafayette Train Leaves Rensselaer Daily at 12:16.

Notwithstanding the fact that the present schedule of passenger trains has been in effetet since June 29th, many do not seem to have the running time of trains in their minds. The schedule is carried in every issue of The Republican and should be consulted if one is not sure. Probably the train that causes the most confusion of time is No. 5, the southbound morning train over the Louisville division. For many years this train passed through Rensselaer at about 11 o’clock, but the schedule now in force made it an hour later than heretofore and its time in Rensselaer is now 12:16. It is nothing uncommon to see some one come rushing into clear <otit of breath arid asking for a ticket to Lafayette at about 11 o’clock. They have heard No. 15, due here at 10:54, and think it to be the Lafayette train. If you are going away, consult the schedule, it is the safest method.

Valuable Cattle Dying of Highly Contagious Disease.

Monon News. , Anthrax, onelof the most deadly and highly contagious diseases known to the animal species, has invaded the Trout & Minch ranch, northwest of Reynolds, and up to Monday 18 head of valuable 3-year-ofd steers had succumbed to it within the past ten days. The disease is rapid in its work and soon after it becomes noticeable the victim drops dead. The herd consists of 63 head valued at S9O each and has been feeding on the ranch during the past year. The state “veterinarian and two doctors from Chicago have inspected the cattle and ordered a strict quarantine. The surviving steers were vaccinated Sunday and the ones not affected placed in a separate, pasture. The animals are buried where they die and the graves disinfected with quick-lime. This is said to be the first instance that anthrax has ever appeared -tn Indiana.

PROMPTLY ACQUITTED OF GRAFT CHARGES

Road Supervisor F. M. Goff Readily Disproved Charges on Which He Was Indicted. Francis M. Goff, supervisor of Road District No. 2,i Union township, readily disproved the allegations under which he was indicted by the recent grand jury and the state made no showing that would justify indictments. The story as brought out in the trial was to the effect that what is known as the Otis grade became almost impassable last fall because dirt that had been scraped out of a ditch had been left in piles on the road. Complaint was made t 4 Trustee Kight, who saw Road Supervisor Goff and asked him to go and look at, the road, saying that there was no money available for the work, but suggesting that Mr. Goff get every person out who had not worked out their road tax and use all the commutation money he could collect to repair the .road. Trustee Kight went away for about two weeks and Mr. Goff used his own judgment in the work. He collected the balance in cash from three land owners who had worked out a part of the tax and it was on the strength of these payments that the indictments were returned. Goff, however, had receipts for labor covering the amounts collected, which, in all, amounted to only about S2O. On the first charge Judge Hanley instructed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. In the second case the jury promptly brought in such a verdict and in the third eftse Judge Hanley dismissed the case. Mrs. Addie Warne, the Fair Oaks lady who was charged with cruelly beating her child, appeared for trial Thursday, but there were no witnesses against her, the summons for them not having been issued. Disregarding the defendant’s statement that “The Lord would defend her,” Judge Hanley had instructed Attorney Leopold to appear in her behalf. When he informed her’ that he had been sent to defend her he said, “You did not expect the Lord to send a Jew in your defense, did you?” she threw up her hands and said “Glory to God in the Highest.” She was discharged, and it is said there was evidence that the cases against her showed some indication of spite.

Section Foreman For Thirty Years Received Badge and Letter From Monon President. The Republican a few days ago published a letter which President Fairfax Harrison of the Monon railroad sent to Agent Beam, and which awarded him a silver medal for more than twenty-five, years’ continuous service. Since that time James Norris, foreman of one of the sections out of this city, has received a similar letter and a similar medal, with his - name engraved on the back. Mr. Norris’s term of service is greater than that of Mr. Beam, as he has worked for the Monon continuously for more than thirty years. William Van Pelt, of Monticello, now a flagman at the Broadway crossing, also received a medal and letter. r ~ -

Clark to Be Given Chance With Peoria of 3-Eye League.

Howard Clark, who pitched sensational ball for the Athletics this year, has been offered a chance to try out with the Peoria, 111., team of the Three-Eye League next spring. When in condition Clark’s work this year was little short of sensational, and in not a single game pitched for the locals was he given a severe drubbing. Unfortunately it almost invariably occurred that when there was a little hittings started, the support gave way, Clark, however, pitched several 'shut-out games in which the visiting teams made only 2 or 3 hits, while 9 was the most made off his delivery in any game pitched for the Athletics during the season, and in some of these games he was not in the best condition because the games came too close together. If he goes to Peoria or elsewhere to try-out the Athletics will be up against it for a pitcher next year, when it is planned to have another game, to get started earlier and on which most of this year’s team will play.

Rex-Alls to Play Parr At Riverside Park Sunday.

The Rex-Alls will play Parr at Riverside Park Sunday and expect to entertain a large crowd of fans, as Parr will doubtless be here in big numbers to support their team, which recently cleaned up Surrey. The Surrey pitcher in two of the games was Bristow, of the Rex-Alls, and Parr defeated him and recently indicated that they were particularly fond of his service and invited him to “come again.” Manager Fred McGlinn will have practically all of his old team in the field, while Louis Putts will be at the receiving end and he is said to handle Bristow’s shoots in fine shape. The game will be called at 2 o’clock, owing to the fact that the days are getting shorter. This looks like the best drawing card the Rex-Alls have, had this year.

Mrs. Will Powers Agreeably Surprised on Her Birthday.

WORLD’S SERIES TO START OCTOBER 7TH

First Game Will Be Played at the Giants’ Park—Four Umpires Named For Series. Baseball fans all over the country will be interested in the big world’s championship series which will be played between the Giants, of New York, winners of the National League championship, and the Phil adelphia Athletics, winners of the American League pennant. The first game will be played at the Giants’ park, McGraw having won the toss for the third time. Two years ago the Athletics defeated the Giants and last, year the Boston Red Sox defeated them. This year McGraw has great faith that his team will pull out victorious, carry off the big end of the money and float the world’s championship pennant over their park. It is not probable than any fans from this part of Indiana will be able to see any of these games. It would be expensive as a vacation. In New York the general admission will be $2, the upper grandstand will be $3, while a box for four will cost $25. The prices are to be the same at Philadelphia except that the box seats are flat $5 each. But our fans will keep their eyes on the score boards and already there fs some speculation on the result of the great contest of seven games.

Monon Man Arrested for Selling Spiked Drinks.

Monticello Journal. Deputy Sheriff Downey went to Monon yesterday to arrest a restaurant man by the name of Pratt, charged with selling temperance beer that contained more than a legal amount of alcohol. He found his man sick in bed with mumps. The arrest was made and friends gave bond for the prisoner’s appearance. Mr. Pratt claims that he w’as not aware that the beverage was so loaded that it was illegal and lays all blame on the company that sold him the stuff.
