Had a Little Touch of Blizzard—Not Very Severe.

A little .touch of a blizzard swept down from the northwest Saturday night and has 'held sway since that time. Rain turned .to snow and whistling winds carried the frigid air at a lively pace, stinging noses and finger tips. The mercury, howeevr, did not go far below freezing and the snow is scarcely visible today, being only in sheltered places. Last week a,heavy snow storm hit parts of the west and business was suspended Friday at Denver with the snow reported from 18 inches to two feet deep. Our blizzard seemed to be an expended tail end of what hit the northwest. Snow two feet deep is reported to have fallen at South Bend and other cities north and east of here.

Mrs. F. W. Rutherford, College Ave., Rensselaer, Ind., says :“I have no reason to alter my high opinion of Doan’s Kidney Pills which I publicly expressed some years ago. I have even greater confidence in this remedy than I did then, for I found it to be just as represented. I was badly in need of something that would relieve my suffering. My back ached most of the time and I felt languid and had no ambition. I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble When I read that Doan’s Kidney Pills were a good remedy for such complaints, I procured a box at Fendig’s Drug Store and they brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a few doses now and then keep my kidneys In good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pllte and in each case the results have been of the best." For sale by all dealers. -Price 50 cents.

RENSSELAER GETS DISTRICT MEETING

Knights to Gather Here on Feb. 10 —Big Plans Start for Entertainment of Visitors.

Although Rensselaer has had one of the best Knights of Pythias lodges in this part of Indiana, it has never before asked that the district meeting be held here When the matter was discussed some weeks ago in. open lodge there was a unanimous desire to have it and Keeper of Records and Seal Scott was instructed to ask for the meet ing. The invitation of the Rensselaer lodge has been accepted and the date set for Feb. 10th. It is expected that every lodge in the district will be represented and that there will be a large number of Knights in town. The program is in the making and will include entertainment for the visitors throughout the afternoon and evening. Probably a number of candidates will be initiated and the convention wind up with a big banquet that will take the place of the annual banquet of Feb. 19th.

Tenth District Democrats Start a Very Lively Scrap.

A very lively scrap has been started among tenth district democrats and it is probable that in about every other district in the state the fight will be just as vigorous. In Lafayette Saturday Reno Isherwood Was elected county chairman, as an anti-Taggart, antiMurphy man. It is said that about all the democratic papers of the district are against Murphy and also against Taggart. The papers are said to hold the defeat -of mayoralty candidates in this district as a fault of Mr. Murphy’s management. Mr. Murphy is said to have taken a hand at Lafayette against. Mayor Durgan in the closing days of the election. Editors who were candidates for the postoffioe and who lost out will side against Murphy, alleging that he caused their defeat. In Rensselaer this condition exists. Editor Babcock has been a Murphy opponent in his feeble way for two or three years. He charged his defeat for the postoffice to Murphy. In the eity"election here Mr. Murphy’s hand was not shown. The failure of the democrats to win out can be figured in two ways. One was the fact that O. K. Rainier, the mayoralty candidate, had lived here only a little over two years. The other reason was because a number of prominent democrats voted the straight republican ticket. It was charged after the election that Editor Babcock and his coterie of Murphy opponents voted solidly against Rainier as a rebuff to City Chairman McFarland. It is quite certain that Mr. Murphy’s closest friends in this city were the most ardent supporters of Mr. Rainier. The Murphy and Taggart forces will probably meet the onslaught of their opponents in solid phalanx and it is understood that Mr. Murphy has already started organization preparatory to his re-elec-tion as district chairman. Republicans, after having engaged in a split that ripped the party almost in twain, can now enjoy the democratic fracas from the side lines and see the opportunity of again electing a republican congressman under a united banner. Think it over, friends, republicans and progressives, and let us find the man. No matter what his conduct last fall, if he stands erect for the right, he’s our man and we can elect him.

Head of Great Mail Order House Died in Chicago Sunday.

A. Montgomery Ward, pioneer in the mail order business in Chicago, died in that city Sunday at the age of 70 years. Without the advantages of an education he had become a day laborer and from this meager beginning he built up one of the largest mail order houses in the world and remained its head urttil his death. He worked as a day laborer in a stave factory at 25 cents a day and later as a laborer in a brick yard. He then went to work as a clerk at $5 a week. His ability as a salesman soon put him to the front and he next went to Chicago, where he worked for Field, Palmer & Leiter, now the Marshall Field Co. He then worked for a wholesale house as an Inside man and then as a traveling man. He became impressed with the opportunity to sell direct to the consumer and in 1872 founded the house that bears his name. Their first quarters were above a livery stable and the staff consisted of Mr. Ward, his partner, and one clerk. The house now does business amounting to $40,000,000 a year. Two years ago Mr. Ward fell from the running board of his automobile in Pasadena Cal, breaking his arm and shoulder blade. Six weeks ago he fell at his home and fractured his hip and pneumonia complicated with kidney trouble caused his death.

Joseph E. Wing, “Alfalfa King,” Wired That It Will Be Impossible For Him to Be Here. The alfalfa demonstration and lecture by Joseph E. Wing, the greatest authority in the country, an alfalfa, has been called ofl, owing to the receipt of a telegram by County Agent Barrett that it will be impossible for Mr. Wing to come. The meeting had been set for Thursday of this week, afternoon and evening. Since it is now so late in the week and the weather conditions make the arrangements for the demonstration uncertain, no further effort will be made to have Mr. Wing here before spring.

Strike Exits From Front Pago—Mexico Takes Its Place.

Mexican troubles have crowded the teamster's strike from the front page of today’s Indianapolis Star. The strike seems practically settled, while the Mexican strife goes on and on forever. Rich Mexicans are said to have scented trouble as General Villa with his Constitutional troops forges on to the capital and many have taken time by the forelock and gone to Vera Cruz. Huerta holds on despite the many minors of his financial troubles and is preparing to meet the rebel army with the best he has in stock. He has issued another order to the effect that fedei’ai troops must not injure foreigners. In Washington the fuss is being watched with some indifference. President Wilson has had his say and is not disposed to make a more aggressive step. The opinion In Washington is that constitutionalists and federate will have many ups and downs before either te victorious and that it will be a stow process forcing the resourceful Huerta to surrender. , -T - Use our Claw dfled Column.
