Son of Stearns Iliff Found Shot to Death in His Cabin in British Columbia. Relatives of Chafjes Iliff, formerly of this county, but, for some years a resident of the west and for the past eigln; years residing at Lac la Che. British Columbia, Canada, have been notified hf murder. His parents, Mr. and airs. Stearns Iliff, his sister, Mrs. Riley Tullis, and three brothers, George, Will and Ulysses, all reside iii this county, south of Rensselaer. Only meagre accounts of the killing of Iliff have reached here and it will probably be several days before the full particulars are received. Iliff, according to the reports by - telegraph, was- found—deatL Jn his cabin, prpbably on Christmas day. He worked some as a surveyor and helped in locating prospecting parties and is presumed to have also either taken out a claim there or to have purchased some land. Lac la Che is 195 miles from a railroad and up almost to Alaska. It was the intention of niff’s friends there to ship the remains back to Rensselaer for burial, providing the body could be taken to a railway station. There are no regular roads there arid at this time of the year the ground is covered with snow and it is very difficult to follow the trails. Kurther word is expected daily. Mr. Iliff was about 37 years of age and had been in the west and northwest since he was a boy of fifteen. He paid a visit to his relatives in this county about six year* ago.

CHARLES ILIFF WAS MURDERED IN CANADA

DEMOTTE CREAMERY DESTROYED BY FIRE

Building and Machinery and Ice Plant All Burned—lmportant Industry in Keener.

The cream&ry north of DeMotte was totally destroyed by fire this Wednesday morning, the building, machinery and the ice plant all being burned. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is thought to have started in the engine room. Edward Beamon, the manager, resides near {he creamery and whan he discovered the lire it was beyond rescuing. The DeMotte creamery has been an important industry in northern Jasper county and has always done a first-class business. It was organized as a stock company and part of the stock was still in the hands of some of the originerl shareholders. Several years ago D. W. Waymire purchased a controling interest in the business and conducted it for some time and then disposed of it to-Edward who (was the butter maker for Mr. Waymire, and who has since conducted it.. Mr. Waymire still had some interest in the way of a mortgage. The plant was built several years ago at a cost of $4,100. Since that time considerable- machinery had been added and other improve ment® made. There was $2,800 insurance on the creamery and machinery and the ice house and contents. The insurance was" carried in Ray D. Thompson’s agency and Mr. Thompson made a trip there this afternoon. It is understood that there is considerable doubt as to whether the creamery will be rebuilt by Mr. Beaman, who was probably the greatest loser by the fire. There is a great deal of dairying in Keener township and it is quite important that a creamery be operated at or near DeMotte.

RESULTS THAT REMAIN

Are Appreciated by Rensselaer People. Thousands who suffer from backache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary benefit. This is discouraging, but there is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputation for lasting esuits and there is plenty of proof ors its merit right 'here in Rensselaer. Here is the testimony of one who used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even stronger. Jacob R. Wileox, Dayton Street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: ‘The statement I gave-for publication a few years ago in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills still holds good. The cure they made has been permanent. I had pains throug hmy loins and was in misery day and nights I always felt tired and worn-out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing,relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of siich great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
