Moderate Priced Street Pavement Used at Monticello.

Monticello Journal. People of Monticello have begun to realize the possibility of concrete for street improvement and the more so since the completion of the alley improvement by the poetot flce. In this instance, the concrete is made with a mixture of broken limestone, of the size usually put on the street just before the screenings are spread over the surface. The thickness of concrete used in the alley mentioned is more than ample, and figures out a price, so it is understood, of about $1.12 per square yard—much less than brick or asphalt streets. In construction, on streets already improved, the preparation of the road bed is complete and all that is necessary before application of the new surface is the loosening up of the present surface'and the leveling up of inequalities of surface.

RHEUMA puts the blood In condition to ward off other diseases and eradicates Rheumatic conditions from the whole system. Recommended for all forms of Rheumatism. 50 cents at B. F. Fendig’s. This letter will convince you of its great value: “I was so crippled with Sciatic Rheumatism I could not walk. Doctors could do nothing for me. After taking three bottles of RHEUMA, the Rheumatism had entirely left me.”—Guy Torley, 129 Summit Ave., St Paul, Minn. Try a Republican classified ad.

Adjourned Meeting of the Council to Consider Bids for Washing- — ton Street Improvement. \ The adjourned meeting of the city council to take action on the bids for The construction of paved street from the river bridge to the Makeever hotel, will be held this evening. It Is probable that they wiU decide the character of material to be used and let the contract. So far the property owners have not decided definitely what paving material to use, but indications point to the use of brick. Warren Robinson and Dr. J. W. Horton, the property owners residing on the street, have offered to let all property .owners on the street have a vodee in selecting the material. It had been decided to use brick set on the old macadam foundation, but an investigation made last week shows conclusively that there is not enough macadam in the street for this purpose and since that became known the property owners have not decided which kind of pavement. If they should make no decision by this evening, then. the council will consider brick the pavement to use, as that was the original decision of the council. One or two contractors are here to look alter the job.

The case of W. P. .Michael vs. John Knapp, resulted in a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff had bought two horses of Mr. Knapp and a little later claimed they were suffering from heaves. One of the animals was placed in Leek’s hitch barn by Mr. Michael, Knapp having refused to take it back when returned by Michael. The evidence was clear that the horses were sound when sold to Mr. Michael, and the verdict could not have been otherwise. The case of Hallagan vs. Blankenship is being tried before a jury today. The case was commenced Thursday, evening at the close -of the Michael-Knapp case. This is an action on two notes and the defendant is defending on the ground that one of the three horses purchased was taken backjby Hallagan and that Hallagan took other property, on which he had a mortgage, in satisfaction of the purchase price of the other two ihorses. Defendant is also claiming that all of the horses were unsound at the time of ale, one having heaves, one a “broken knee’ and the other blind staggers. The case will probably be concluded this afternoon. Saturday is the last day of court and there is yet another jury case to try and it looks as if the jury might be held here until late Saturday evening. The case of W. Frank Osborne, superintendent of the Jungles ditch, against John Hack and bondsmen is to be heard before Judge Reiter in the superior court at Hammond. J. A. Dunlap, who is one of the attorneys for the plaintiff, expected to go to Hammond today to endeavor to have the case set for trial.

Will Probably Send Fawley Back to Insane Asylum.

The plan to place Edward Fawley under bond to keep the peace, his former wife having undertaken such proceedings for her own safety, was abandoned and it is expected to again commit him to the asylum, the application having been made. Fawley has been somewhat quieter lately and especially since Sheriff Hoover gave him a calling down Thursday morning. Fawley has tried lately to blame his troubles on the sheriff, who became tired of Fawley’s abuse and gave him a lecture that he is not apt to soon forget. He has been asking for attorneys, but none care to represent him and it is probable that he will be taken back to the asylum in a few days. If he is, the guard that will be placed over him wip be three or four men, as It Is regarded that (there are no two men In the county wiho can handle him when he is enraged. Sheriff Hoover will be pleased to accept your application if you care for the job taking tyim back to Longcliffe.

BIG DELEGATION TO STOCK SHOW

More Than Two Hundred Went From Rensselaer and Parr to Attend Exposition. The International Live Stock Exposition in Chicago is entertaining more than two hundred Jasper county people today. Probably no other county in Indiana, if, indeed, in Ilinois, ever took so large a delegation of hoys, girls, men and women to the city for (the express purpose of attending the stock show, and probably in no other county has so great a Success been scored in getting the co-operation of school children, teachers and patrons. To County Agent Barrett, County Superintendent Lamson, Prof. Ira Coe and John J. Lawler, the extensive land owner and stockman, goes the credit for inspiring the interest in the plan to attend the show in a body. Messr/ Barrett, Lamson and Coe advertised the plan at this end of the line and Mr. Lawler tempted them from the oither end by promising a dinner to all who would come and later enlargihg his offer to give supper as well as dinners. In Rensselaer 151 tickets were sold, at Parr 52 were sold and at Shelby quite a number more. No. 4 passenger train, due here at 4:58, was an hour late and some of the passengers went up on the 4:44 train. An extra coach was carried on No. 4 and this was soon crowded to capacity and there was an overflow into the other coaches. It is probable that 125 of those who Went from this county were schok ars of the public schools and will he entitled to share Mr. liberal hospitality. Most of the tickets were sold to 47th street and it was planned to spend the entire day at the show, returning on the 11:05 train tonight. Phone 273 for wood, feed, and coaL
