EVELYN ROGERS HERE; POLICE ARE WATCHING

Woman of Notorious Reputation Who Escaped From Lafayette Has Taken Up Abode Here. Evelyn Rogers, the woman who separated Bill Martin and his wife and who later caused the arrest of a eab driver in Lafayette, and then escaped from the Martha home, has been in Rensselaer since Monday. It is understood that she is at the residence of Wesley Sharp. Strange ly enough, Bill Martin reappeared here at about the same time. The woman will be under the surveillance of the police and if her conduct assumes the role she essayed while here before she will be placed under arrest. Marshal Shesler notified the chief of police of Lafayette that she was here if wanted and received the reply that she not only was not wanted but that it was hoped that she would not return. He said that Rensselaer was welcome to keep her and “thank you ever so much.” b

According to plans made by the banquet committee it will be one of the best successes of the many affairs of that club.

The literary men given assignments are Meredith Nicholson, S. W. Gilliland, James E. Watson, John T. McCutcheon, George Ade and others.

Boosts in Salary For Rensselaer Mail Clerks.

Rensselaer postal clerks were recently given very pleasant surprises by, receiving substantial salary increases. The Republican was unable to learn whether all of them were given this increase or not, but the following at least received it: Charles Grow, Frank Leek, Lemuel Hammerton, Fred Chapman and Joe Long. Mr. Grow’s increase was from the Bth to the 9th grade, the salary being raised from $1,600 to $1,700. Mr. Leek’s increase was from the 6th to the 7th grade, from $1,400 to $1,500. Each of the other clerks received an increase of SIOO.

Remember, the first “Quo Vadis” performance begins tomorrow afternoon promptly at 1 o’clock and the second performance at 3 o’clock. Miss Flora Schilling, pianist at the Dreyfus Theatre, Lafayette, will furnish the music for the afternoon shows and Alonzo Healy for the evening performances. The pictures will be in charge of Mr. Salisbury, business manager for the George Kleine Co. Trustees of the hospital for the insane at Logansport have decided to build a swimming pool for the patients and attendants. Attendants have some difficulty making some of the patients bathe, but it is believed hat the trouble will cease when the swimming poole is opened. The new poole will be 30 feet wide, 90 feet long and from four to seven feet deep.

Value of Rheuma from the Court

Judge Barhorst was Relieved of Rheumatism After Doctors Had Failed. If you have tried many other remedies and doctors’ treatments fo< Rheumatism and found they failed, do npt be skeptical about trying RHEUM A. Read the testimony of Judge John Barhorst of Fort Loramie, O.f "After treatment by three doctors without results, I have been cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by using two bottles of RHEUMA. ft is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am still as wel as ever. Previously, I was a cripple, walking with crutches.” Such testimony should be convincing. 50 cents of B. guaranteed.

OVERRULES MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE

Trial of James Willis for Alleged Rape Now in Progress at Kent-land-Night Session Probable. Special to Republican. KENTLAND, IND, Oct. 31,-The trial of James Willis, of Rensselaer, for alleged attempted rape on person of the little 15-year-old Thompson girl, is now in progress here and the fate of the defendant will probably be known tomorrow. The case is being tried before Special Judge Elmore Barce, of Fowlew. The defense is represented by W. H. Parkinson and J. A. Dunlap, of Rensselaer, and Judge William Darroch, of Kentland. The state is represented by Prosecuting Attorney Fred Longwell, of Brook, Assistant Attorney Frank Davis, of Brook, and Moses Leopold and C. Arthur Tuteur, of Rensselaer. Upon the opening of the case this morning, Judge Darroch, for the defense, made a motion for continuance, alleging that there were several witnesses in Wisconsin, the former home of the girl, who would testify that the girl is over the age of consent, but that the defense had not had time to get the depositions of these witnesses. The motion was promptly overruled by the court and the work of securing a jury was proceeded with. At 1:30 this afternoon the jury had been secured and the hearing of the evidence was begun. The jury is composed of the following citizens of Newton county and is considered an especially good jury: Chas. Hasslett, retired merchant, of Kentland. Arthur Harrington, farmer, •Goodland. - : : Wm. Kline, farmer, Washington township. Eugene Steel, farmer, Kentland. Chas. Humston, druggist, Goodland. T. P. Hansen, farmer, Lake township. Arthur Stilton, butcher, Kentland. J. U. Wildason, retired farmer, of Kentland. Wilson LeMaster, farmer, Goodland. Frank Herath, farmer, Brook. E. M. Lyons, farmer, Brook. Daniel Zumba uni, laborer, Kentland. On motion of the prosecution all witnesses are excluded from the court room, and are not allowed to hear the evidence. The court room is crowded with interested spectators. It is probable that a night session will be held today and that the ease will go to the jury some time tomorrow. ’

RENSSELAER GIRL BUILDING A HOSPITAL

Miss Nettie Jordan is the Leading Spirit in the Modern Hospital Being Built at Aurora. A fine new hospital that will cost when completed and furnished $150,000, is being built at Aurora, 111., and the leading worker in securing the funds and in planning and erecting the building is Miss Nettie Jordan, daughter of Mrs. S. L. Jordan, of Barkley township. Miss Jordan has for several years been the superintendent of —the Aurora hospital and being a woman of modern thought and thoroughly alive to the hospital needs of the country she realized that the hospital was inadequate and did not conform to thb- proper modern ideals. She interested the organization and secured their approval of a new hospital and a good one. She secured the co-operation of the newspapers of Aurora and they helped her boost. She was the inspiration of the campaign and when the decks were cleared and a summary made it was found that $116,000 had been pledged. Miss Jordan was sent to the east to visit the best hospitals of the country and she helped the architect in the plans for the hospital and it is claimed that there will be no. hospital in the land of its size that will be as good. Later on more money will be required, but Miss Jordan confidently’says, “Oh, I will go out and get it; I know how to do it and I know that the people of Aurora need this hospital.” There are two other hospitals at Aurora but they will be small compared to this splendid new building. Miss Jordan came Wednesday to visit her mother and respond to a demand from the board of trustees of the hospital that she rest up for a time, as they feared she would break down under the weight of her work, but she insists that she can not remain away long and that she will return to her work In a week. Miss Jordan is an enthusiastis suffragette and holds that the standing of a nation must be as high as Its estimation of its women.
