Former Rensselaer Teacher Pays Short Visit to Friends.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, of Topeka, Kansas, some twenty-five years ago a teacher in the Rensselaer high school, came Friday evening for a short visit with friends and old scholars in this city. Today she is at the home of Mrs. Grant Warner and tonight and over Sunday she will be at the home of Geo. E. Murray, Mrs. Murray, then Miss Hester, and Mrs. McCarter, then Miss Hill, having taught in Rensselaer at the same time. It is doubtless known to most of her old acquaintances and ito many others, that Mrs. McCarter has followed literary pursuits for many years, having published a magazine for some years at Tokepa. Simultaneously she was writing and having published a number of books and these have been read and ardently admired by many in Rensselaer, while some have became the “best sellers” and have brought, both fame and fortune to their au thor. Among the best known are: “The Price of the Prairie,” a Kansis Indian story; “A Wall of Men,” “The Peace of the Solomon Valley,” and recently ‘The Master’s (Degree.” Mrs. McCarter’s visit here is to be very short, greatly to the disappointment of her many friends who have not seen her for twenty-five years. In order that as many may see her as possible Mrs. Murray has very generously thrown her house open for callers this evening and Sunday and doubtless this will af'ford an opportunity for many of her former pupils to meet her again.

It’s a guarantee, and it takes good judgment to get the quality, and time decides the quality or guarantee. Now the Farmer who wants a farm wagon that has all of the above will have to buy a STUDEBAKER farm wagon of C. A. Roberts. Now this is true, of STUDEBAKER quality—that their wheels will out-do any wagon on the market today, holding the tires. I can show wagons that have been in use for from 12 to 16 years without the tires having to be reset, and with a load of three tons no wagon can run easier than a (STUDEBAKER. The best ironed wagon on earth is a OTUDEBAKER. Could give twenty-five other reasons, but these are enough. C. A. Roberts, Agent, Rensselaer, Ind., the capital of the finest county in the state.

Grain King scoop boards sold by Hamilton & Kellner. Avoid Sedative Gough Medicines. If jou want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia, use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Is used. It has a world wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative. For sale by A. F.

DELPHI MAN COMMITTED SUICIDE THURSDAY P. M.

Delirium Accompanying Typhoid 'Thought to Be the Cause of His Terrible Act Delphi Journal. Placing the muzzle of a No., 12 shotguiP directly over his heart Sam Morrison pulled the trigger of the gun and killed himself, the tragedy occurring'at his home on Monroe street at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. His side was crushed as though with a giant hammer and death was almost instantaneous. Mrs. Morrison rushed to his side only in time to see him expire. The act is the result of a delirium due probably to incipient typhoid fever with which he was brought home suffering last night. It occurred while he was left alone in a room for a few momenta The unfortunate man was about thirty-three years of age and moved to this city from Burlington about four years ago. He is survived by his wife, a son about five years old, and a baby daughter of about nine months.

The much-abused and self-sainted editor of The Democrat has suffered another strain to his delicate feelings and with copious tears takes a column to prove his sycophancy. Ernie Zea called at The Republican office, which is a frequent custom, and where he is always given a word of cheer. He stated that Babcock never spoke to him and said he guessed he did not like cripples. Just a few days before a mendicant, slightly crippled in one leg and one arm, had called at The Rpublican office and asked for “a couple of exchanges,” a custom among the more intelligent class of tramps. He was supplied and then stated that he had entered The Democrat office and asked for exchanges and been ordered out in an insulting manner. He seemed to be hurt in spirit and z we told him that Babcock had just experienced the disappointment of losing a postoffice and probably was sore at the whole world. The incident would have passed out of our minds entirely but for the fact that Ernie Zea came into the office and told of his own experience with Babcock. The other incident was then mentioned and Ernie repeated it on the street, and poor Bab is so sensitive that it takes a lot of valuable space to tell how dreadfully he has been abused. Bab'is a great chap to rtm and tell his troubles and when he gets into one of his babyish nioods he fairly wears his lips out with his caresses. The poorest mendicant never approached Bab’s assumption of innocence and misfortune when he falls on his knees and plaintively pleads his tribulations. .“The Taxpayers’ Friend” at 30 per cent clear money is certainly some pleader for sympathy. We really feet sorry for him ourself.

From Sweden to Delphi To Marry Former Husband.

Carroll County l Citizen. To one who merely glanced at the marriage record in the county clerk’s office Monday, the announcement of the granting of a license to John M. Beckman, of Hazetetad, Sweden, and Amanda Nelson, of Stockholm, Eweden, would not suggest a story of romance, blighted love, misunderstanding, waiting and final reconciliation. And yet this marriage which was solemnized Monday evening at the home of Lewis Lindstrom is the beginning of the end of a closing chapter in just such a story. Over thirty years ago in Sweden, the same John and Amanda were married. Three children were born to them, two of whom now five in Kokomo and one in Chicago. In 1887 dissention arose between them and deciding that they could live happier apart, they were divorced. John came to this country and with a party of immigrants arrived in Delphi,, without much money and no idea of the English language. Lewis Lindstrom, a Swede, was called upon to act as interpreter. This he did and Beckman stayed in Delphi and for many years was employed by Charles Harley. After a time he married Anna Pence, of Yeoman. They moved to Kokomo, where they lived happilj until her death a year ago. During the past summer Beckman came to visit in the Lindstrom home in this city. Mrs. Mary Lindstrom Pruner was visiting her parents at the time and she -suggested to him that he send to the old country for his first love and that they become reunited and spend the sunset of their lives together. He was not averse to the idea and when he returned to Kokomo he wrote to her. Her answer was non,committal. He was fainij-hearted and had decided not to try again, when a mutual friend and countryman saw the letter. “She wants to be coaxed. It’s a woman’s way,” was how the friend summed up the situation. Another urgent letter was then dispatched and money for her transportation enclosed. Loye had found the way—and on Thursday of last week she arrived in Delphi. Monday Beekman came and in the evening at the Lindstrom home, they were reunited in marriage. The bride and bridegroom, smiling, contented and serene, returned the following day to their home in Kokomo, to start life anew together.

Marsh is Entirely Spoiled By Modern Ways of Doing.

Crown Point Star. On our trip across the Kankakee valley last Sunday, we saw but one thing to put us in mind of old times, and that was some sand-hill cranes, which in early times were here in flocks of hundreds. In fact, by looking through our spectacles “the old marsh” is entirely spoiled. Nothing but fields of wheat, corn, etc., and herds of stock. Some people look at it different, i

Editor Bowser Swears When He Talks About the Races.

Bro. Bowser in this week’s Chesterton Tribune says: Base ball, the greatest foe of racing, is the greatest gambling gamefof the day. According to the United Press Association, the enormous sum of $1,000,000 had been put up before midnight Monday on the world’s pennant series. And still the governors do not see fit to send troops to stop baseball. But for the baseball magnates and Tom Taggart, the Mineral Springs race track would be running. State officials are but the tools of the big gamblers who arealways striving to freeze out the little fellows. D—m such morality.
