GREEN HOUSE OPENING FREE TO EVERYBODY

Large Crowd Wanted at Formal Opening Saturday P. M. The public is cordially invited to attend the formal opening of the green house established by the cemetery association at the residence of J. H. Holden Saturday afternoon of this week. There may be seen a large number of house plants of the most popular kinds. There is no cost to you to attend this opening. The green house has been established because of the demand for flowers, especially in the early spring and throughout the winter months and to remove'the difficulty experienced in the past of securing plants for the cemetery flower beds in the spring. It is expected that there will be enough buying throughout the year to maintain the running expense of the greenhouse. It is hoped that the people who have given so much encouragement to" the beautification of the cemetery will all take advantage of this opportunity to visit the hot house.

Little Sheldon Girl Lost Right Arm in Feed Grinder.

Sheldon, 111., Journal.' Little Edith Riker, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mose Riker, living at the edge of the corporation in the northwest part of town, met with a terrible accident Thursday forenoon just before dinner, which cost her right arm. Mr. Riker was using the feed grinder cutting some feed for the cows, and the little girl was playing around the machine, as is natural for all children. While funning around she stumbled and fell, her right hand being caught between the sweep wheel and the framework of the machine. The space was scarcely an inch, but it was. sufficiently large to permit her little Ungers being caught and thus drawing her hand and arm in. Before the machine could be stopped, her right arm had been reduced almost to a pulp, necessitating amputation, the operation being performed that afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Riker are almost frantic with grief over the sad affair, but it is one of the accidents that could not be averted. Edith is a bright little girl, and started going' to school this fall. She took a great interest in the work and was getting along nicely. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Riker and ,the little girl in this awful misfortune.

Rheumatism and Bright’s Disease Prof. Budlong Quickly Relieved of Both Afflictions by Using Rheums. If you suffer from any form of Rheumatism, remember that Rheuma goes to work quickly to remove the cause, not simply to relieve the distress. Many years’ use has demonstrated that it goes to the seat of the disease and expels the poisonous matter through the natural channels—the kidneys, bowels, live): and skin. 'Tor many years I was troubled with Rheumatism, also with brights disease of the kidneys. .1 suffered awfully. Tried many advertised remedies. After using your truly remarkable preparation, RHEUMA, I was fully cured."—Prof. C. J, Budlong, Sound View, Conn. RHEUMA is guaranteed by B. P. Fendig. who sells it for 50 cents a bottle.

OLDEST LIVING RESIDENT OF JASPER

Stewart C. Hammond Celebrates 86th Birthday With Dinner Party at Daughter’s Home. -*•. ■ ■ Today, October 24th, Stewart C. Hammond is 86 years of age, and there seems no doubt that he is the oldest living resident of this county, he having been here since the spring of 1837, or more than 76 years. The occasion was celebrated by a big dinner at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Marion I. Adams, south of town, where the other children who live here helped him enjoy the day. A biographical sketch of Mr. Hammond will prove interesting. He was born in Jackson county, Ind., Oct. 24, 1827, and went from there with his parents to Vermillion county, 111., and thence to Monticello, Ind., coming to Jasper county in March, 1837, and he has lived here continuously since that time. On April 21st, 1912, he suffered a paralytic stroke, and he has almost entirely recovered from that and is now enjoying fairly good health for one of his advanced years. -He spent the summer with his son, Charles tG. Hammond, at Big Rapids, Mich., and at present makes his home with his children. He was able to enjoy the djnner, at which he was the honor guest. Republican readers will wish Mr. Hammond many more years of life and that he may "have many days as pleasant as his 86th birthday.

At Lafayette politics has taken a temporary rest to give fans an* opportunity to talk about the football contest which takes place on Marshall Field, Chicago, tomorrow. The Purdue team went to Chicago today, and some eleven hundred rooters will go from Lafayette to Chicago over the Monon on a special train tomorrow. The train will leave Lafayette at 8:30 and pass through Rensselaer at about 10 o’clock. Agent Beam was unable to arrange for the train to stop here for passengers, for the reason that there arc several other trains during the morning on which per* sons can go to Chicago. During the past week Purdue has been practicing behind barred gates, thus preventing the possibility of spies from Chicago watching the plays and to the signals. The weights of the players composing the two teams shows that Purdue has the advantage by about 1 pound to the man. Purdue has the weight advantage in the line of about 2 pounds to the man, while Chicago has about 4 pounds to the man in the back field. That this game will be a great game Is the belief of all football fans in the central west and It Is expected feat the largest crowd wHI attend tnat was ever on Marshall Field. k .
