DAVID BICKEL VICTIM OF BLOOD POISONING

Farmer Near Remington Died Last Thursday Night as Result 6f a Bruise to One Finger. ________ r David Bickel, 61 years of age, died at 11 o’clock Thursday night at his farm home 2 miles northeast of Remington. A week before he had injured the index finger of his left hand and infection followed and this was the cause of his death. City Marshal W. R. Shesler/ who lived a farm neighbor to Mr. Bickel, was called over to see him the first of the week and he realized then that death was almost certain to ensue. ’ tMr. Bickel came to Jasper county from Chenoa, 111., about twenty years ago, and he was a man of excellent standing in his community. He ’leaves a wife and five children, three daughters land two sons. The funeral arrangements had not been completed this morning, but it is- thought probable that it will be held Sunday.

FACT. Local Evidence. Evidence that can be verified. Fact is what we want. Opinion is not enough. Opinions differ. / ,.- Here’s a Rensselaer fact. You can test it. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from -attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I iirst used them and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of Kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.”' For sale by all dealers Price 50 eents.

W. W. STERLING IS HERE; MISSION IS UNKNOWN

Got Off the 2 O’clock Train Accom- # panied by Stranger and Went Direct to Factory. Telephone conversation. “Hello, is this The Republican?” “Yes” ■' :'c t “Are you short of news? V. “We are always after ail we can get.” “Well, I just wanted to let you know that Match Factory Sterling just went cast on Vine street with a h— of a fine looking strangei*. Apparently they were going right out to start up the match factory and I expect to hear of him ordering several carloads of coal before he gets out of town.” “I)o tell.” “Perhaps you had better try to get an interview with him when lie leaves on a north bound train; be may have something up his sleeve.” With profuse thanks The Republican hung up the receiver. We will try to see Sterling. He is generally good for a “story,” that is a newspaper story. But if he tells us that the factory is going to start up, we will have a little laugh and i ivall the incidents of the past four years. * We really think Sterling ought to be confined in the Ananias cage.

BREAD UPON THE WATERS

No sound was heard in the room, but the man’s quickened breath, as he read the letter written in a delicate feminine hand. Duncan Halstead looked from the paper to the strong, benevolent face of the president. He attempted to apeak, but a constriction of his throat out off the words. For a time the two men regarded each other In silence; then recovering from his emotion Halstead spoke: —- “I have no words with which to thank you. The men are few who are willing to trust an ex-convict.’’ “One mistake should not be allowed to spoil a man’s life,” the president said kindly. * . “I wish there were more people who thought so. I came out four months ago—got 18 off for good behavior — and since then, until to-night, I have not found one man who would trust me. “It is easier to believe In your repentance than to believe it, possible that your mother’s son could ever be a convict,” Halstead met the president’s eyes unflinchingly. “Do you know what it means to see your mother dying when her life could be saved for a few paltry hundred dollars? I knew H was a criminal offence to misappropriate the funds of the Worthington Trust Company, but God knows bow sorely I was tempted,!’ —— “You took the money to save your mother’s life, when she would have preferred death to dishonor.” The president pronounced each word Impressively. Though Halstead winced „at the tone, his glance never wavered. “That is why you made no defence,** the president continued, “but your mother knows now. When did you tell her?” “I have never told her,” quickly denied Halstead. “She thinks that the money which paid her expenses at the sanitarium was hired from herpunclo. All knowledge of the affair was kept from her until she recovered.” “What does she think you took the money for?” “I don’t know.” Halstead hesitated, then he went on slowly. “Sometimes I fear she thinks I did It from viciousness." The president reached for the letter. Folding It so only these words were visible, he passed the letter to Halstead: “Years ago you promised that If it were ever in your power to prove your gratitude to me you would do so. Tonight I claim the fulfilment of that promise. "You are familiar with the story of Duncan Halstead, but did you know that his mother was once Pauline Hall, or that Duncan stole the money to save her from a slow, painful death?” Halstead read no farther. He bowed his head on his hands, while tears slipped unchecked down his cheeks. Anger, remorse, humiliation were overshadowed by the knowledge that his mother knew. It was several minutes before Duncan realized that the president was talking. As he lifted bis head, the president continued in the slow, even tones of the narrator. “I was a ragged, dirty boy, not wholly depraved for my intense love for beauty saved me from that, when your mother came on a visit to our town. One she was going by our house when my step-mother, an ignorant, Indolent, higj/tempered woman, punished me severely for some trifling offence. My screams as Iran from the house attracted your mother’s attention.

"Though more than 30 yeara have passed since then, I have never forgotten the picture she made, standing there in her thin summer dress, her hands filled with flowers, and such a compassionate expression on her sweet, lovely face. She soothed my grief with tender w’ords, and when she saw me touch her flowers, with oar easing fingers, she placed them in my hand. "My new friend shrank neither from my rags nor my dirty, tearstained face, but taking me in her arms, she pressed warm, clinging hisses on my lips. These kisses completely won my heart, ae my appeal had won hers. When, in a few days, the returned home, notwithstanding the teasing of her friends at the conquest she had made, she secured my father'B permission and I went with her. "Through her Influence I was tdopted by a wealthy man, who, soon after, went abroad frith his family for several years. When I returned, 18 years ago, was the last time I ever saw your mother. "I came here about the time of your trouble, but until ho-nlght I never received the faintest intimation that the Mrs. Halstead of this town was the woman whom I knew, years tgo, in Montana. "The debt I owe to your mother I can never repay, but while we both live your'lnterest shall never cease to be mine.” As the president concluded, his bend rested on Halstead’s shoulder like a benediction. With a heart full if thankfulness, Duncan quoted softly; " ’Cast your bread upon, the waiter, And as sure an God is true, In this life, or in the other Tt will yet return to you.’ "Yea, and even unto their children’s children the promise shell not fialL"— Grace Capfe

The Polar Mystery.

At a meeting of members of the Arctic Club in New York recently discussion took a form which seems to Imply doubt of the entire system upod which exploration of the polar region has been conducted from time immemorial. The doubt is of the very existence of a north .pole; and if the supreme goal of adventurers is non-existent, what Is the use of looking for it? , But if there is no northpole, whalt Is there up there? The answer to which the Arctic club' listened to with more or less credulity is that the end of the earth is a great hole. And there is a good deal inside thkr hole. “The earth is not only hollow. or double,” says Mr. William Reed, “but suitable in its interior to sustain man with as little discomfort as on its exterior, and can be made accessible to mankind with one-fourth the outlay of treasure, time and life, that It cost to build the subway in New York city. The number of people that will find comfortable homes there will be billions. In the interior are vast continents oceans,moult tains and rivers, vegetation and animal life, and it is probably peopled by races yet unknown to dwellers on the earth’s exterior.” Where, for instance, did Andree go with his balloon when he drifted into the great frozen solitude?- No fragment of the airship has ever been found. Why, he simply floated over the edge and went down inside, where to-day, he may be residing in comfort. And what is the matter with the magnetic pole, which explorers always find somewhere in a region about 600 miles from the geographic pole? There is nothing the matter with it; all that happens is that the needle naturally refuses to dip any farther when brought to the edge of the great hole, and simply marks the farthest point north. Proceed you go Inside. Was not this, in fact Nansen was doing In that strange fortnight of -which he writes, when his compass would not work and he could see no stars from which to take observations and could pot tell where he was until he later drifted out of the great hole?

As to Advertising.

The chief thing about successful advertising—of machinery or of any. other thing—is that the advertised article must have genuine merit. All the advertising in the world will not bring success unless the selling article has merit. The second essential is to select a good medium and advertise consistently and persistently. Every time your “ad” is read it mfekes an impression, the impression grows stronger and stronger with each repetition, and all in good time the buying point is reached. It may even take months and months—of continuous advertising, but sooner or later the publicity your selling article has received is bound to bear fruit, and whether the fruit shall be tenfold or a hundredfold depends entirely on the advertiser himself. This is the unanimous opinion of men of widest experience in the advertisng business.

Don’t Lie Down.

Writing on the subpect of persistency in advertising, an exchange makes some remarks which are so pat in regard to advertising printing machinery that they call for a place In our columns: “The late Samuel Fessenden, of Connecticut, used to say “God Almighty hates a quitter.” In a not too elegant way this explains the trouble with some campaigns. The new advertiser, in many cases, wants to acquire, with two or three Insertions, the same success that old advertisers have won by years of effort. Not every beleaguered city strikes it flag at the first shot; sometimes it requires a siege. If you have an advertising possibility, don’t lie down at the first disappointment. Give it a trial commensurate wth its possible success.”

Call a Half on Profanity.

Writing on the subject of perWright declares the increasing use of profanity In the United States, and especially In the East, Is a disgrace to the nation. So common has the habit become, he adds, that playwrights and novelists do not refrain from having’ some of their characters Indulge In It. The time has come to call a halt on the use of profanity. No gentlemah will sully his lips with disgusting expressions; ali others should be taught there Is a law to punish them for such unseemly language in public placeß.

Dangerous Weapon is Sarcasm.

Perhaps there are few if any intellectual weapons known to man more subtly dangerous and powerful than sarcasm, and although its power is unquestionable It is rarely used as e Just, honest means of defense, but more frequently to injure and degrade those who have not equal powers of retaliation, for just as IntelHe 1 attainments are •Jfteatest, so, alee, have they proportionate powers In sminwt ami hiimlHsts

The Farm Hand

“I don’t see, lanthe, why you persist in going to the country every season,” said Mrs. Montague, frowning slightly. ‘ lanthe, a tall, graceful glri of 20, smiled wisely. “I think you have • faint Idea Why I go,” she answered. Mrs. Montague flushed a little and looked uncomfortable. “Well, I know I’m fond of Mr. Dean, and'lf you knew him I’m sure you’d like him, too. No one can blame me if I want to see my only child comfortably settled. Some timq, sooner or later, I shall have to give up my little girl, and I had rather give her to him than to anyone else. He’s a man everyone likes and trusts, somehow.” lanthe slipped her arm about her mother’s neck very tenderly. “I know you think only of my good, mamma dear,” she murmured. “But you won’t have to give me up for—oh, a long time yet, I hope.” “Mrs. Norcross will be so disappointed, lanthe,” said Mrs. Montague after a moment of silence. “She has set her heart upon your coming with me." '**l don’t want to visit Mrs. Norcross, mother —I might go if-Mr. Dean wasn’t such a frequent jailer at her home. And Ido want to go down to Mrs. Kingsley’s again. Mts. Montague saw that It was useless to" say anything more, so she quietly changed the subject, but phere was something strangely like a twinkle in her eye which her daughter did not notice. The girl was already making plans as to her summer in the little country village. The following week found lanthe Montague at the Kingsleys’. Mrs. Kingsley had been an old schoolmate of her mother, and for the past. two summers the girl had spent a few weeks at her home. Her chief reason for going was that she did not want to meet the man whose good qualities her mother was always exploiting. It was the hay-making season and the Kingsleys had several farm hands. Two of them lanthe remembered seeing the previous summer, but the third a tall, fine-looking young man, with a highly Intellectual face, was a stranger. lanthe looked at him frequently in astonishment. At the end of a month she began to fear that she was thinking of him more than she should, and when “two months had elapsed she was obliged to confess to herself that she was really beginning to care for James Clifford. "I don’t know why I ever came to this place,” she told herself, in disgust, throwing down the book on the grass. “I wish I’d listened to mother. It' would have been better to have gone with her and met Mr. -Dean and —no, it wouldn’t, either. There’s no one like James Clifford, even if he works on a farm. But I mustn’t think of him any more. Mother would be so disappointed in me, and I owe her so much.” > Just then a step sounded behind her, and turning quickly she beheld the object of her thoughts. "I have something to Bay to you, Miss Montague,” he said, seating himself beside her on the settee. “Miss Kingsley has told me that you think of returning home to<morrow.” “Yes,” she answered briefly. This was an unheard-of-liberty for him, to sit beside of her, and she tried to look displeased, but she made a miserable failure of it "You must have seen that; I love you, lanthe,” he hegan boldly, just as If he had been her equal. "If you can only care for me a little I shall be' the happiest man on earth.” rapidly. She must not listen to him, she told herself. It would break her mother’s heart if she should promise to marry James Clifford. Still he was a noble man, and she loved —yes, she loved him with her whole heart. "Are you angry, lanthe?” he asked when she did not speak. “I understand —you don’t care for me and lanthe looked up shyly. "I haven’t said —I didn’t —care,” she faltered. "Is it —possible that you care for a poor man?” he asked, reaching over snd taking one of the small hands in his own. "It makes no difference to me—whether you are rich or poor,” she answered softly. "I’ve something to confess, lanthe,” he said after a moment. There was an anxious look on his face. "I’m not what you thought me,” he went on; "I’ve deceived you, but say you’ll forgive me— —” "I don't understand,” Interposed the |lrl In bewilderment. "I’m not a farmhand—my* name Is James Clifford—Dean, the man you Sldn’t want to meet, he went on. I learned from Mrs. Norcross that you were coming here and It was not dlfftcult for me to guess why you didn’t lare to visit her with your mother. As Frank Kingsley and I used to be good friends at college, I came here, and pretended to be one of the farmhands. I was curious to see the girl who didn’t want to see me. And fctxm the moment I saw - you, lanthe, | have loved you. You’ll forgive me (or the deception, won’t you, dear?” ke pleaded. / lanthe looked into his face with a rmfle. “There’s really nothing for me to forgive," she murmured happily*— Pdaoifta Campbell. __
