FOUND DEAD IN HIS BACHELOR QUARTERS

George Reusch, Ditcher, Died Saturday Afternoon or EveningLived in Newton Township.

George Reusch, a ditcher probably §0 years of age and a well known and highly respected man, was found dead in his bachelor quarters in the Lane neighborhood of Newton township Sunday morning. With his fur coat and cap on he was sitting on the side of his bed, his right elbow resting on his right knee and his body pitched to the front, with his left arm extending' backward as though to balance himself. Evidently he had just entered the house and had sat down while suffering from an attack of heart trouble or had been siezed with apoplexy. The‘stove was only a few feet away from where he sat and when Ed Shindelar found him on Sunday morning there Was still a little fire in the stove.

Reusch owned a farm of 40 acres and had been improving it for some time. He worked as a ditcher most of the time, but also looked after his farm and the premises were neat and a large crib filled with corn indicated the prosperity of Mr. Reusch. He had been complaining for about two weeks and had taken medicine during that time. He was able to be up and about, however, and was seen in his yard Saturday. He was in the habit of letting a light burn all night and this could be seen: from the residence of Mr. Shindelar. It did not burn Saturday night and knowing Reusch had been feeling poorly Mr. Shindelar made a trip to his home early Sunday morning, and was startled to find him dead. He notified others and Coroner Wright and Dr. F. H, Hemphill were summoned. A letter wlas found among his possessions giving the name and address of his sister, Miss Rose Reusch, Oneonta, N. Y. A dispatch was sent to her and the arrangements for the funeral will await her arrival, Mr. Reusch had been in this county for about fifteen years, having corpe here from New York. He worked some for Joseph Kosta as a farm hand. He was a Catholic In religion.

NEW YORK TREASURER TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

John J. Kennedy, State Official, Cut His Throat—Summons Before Grand Jury the Cause. At Buffalo, N. Y., shortly after noon Sunday, John J. Kennedy, state treasurer of New Ybrk, committed suicide by cutting his throat. The act was committed at the Markeen hotel. Graft charges which required his presence before the grand jury probably prompted the act. He attended high mass at the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in •company with his son. After his return he greeted his wife and daughter and then said that he would lie down a few minutes before luncheon. Instead he stepped into a lavatory off the hotel ball room and with a razor, which was found at his side, he slashed his throat, cutting the jugular vein.

Entered January 1, 1897, as second class mall matter, at the postoffice at Rensselaer, Indiana, under the act of Marc h 3, 1879.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1914.

DIVIDES NEGATIVES INTO THREE CLASSES

The Poverty Stricken, the Selfish and the Non-Aggressive Against the Railroad. - -

Editor Bartoo'has certainly taken a commendable stand in the matter of community progress for Remington and the following is his report of the subsity election held in that town -last Tuesday: The election Tuesday for the purpose of voting a subsidy for the benefit of the electric road, resulted ibad for the road, in that tfye voters turned the proposition down, and for the town and township, inasmuch as they have passed up what would be the only real improvement that has been offered for many years. That the voters voted against their own interests we firmly believe and if we have lost the road for good and Wolcott gets it they have only their own narrowmindedness or to say it most charitably easily pursuaded dispositions to blame for the loss. The vote cast was almost the entire one of the township and the interest taken in the defeat of the road by certain persons is only equalled by their own lack of business progress. 520 votes were cast, of which 210 were for and 310 against the proposition. Thus it will be seen that the defeat was accomplished by the lack of only 51 votes. The vote was as follows: For Against South precinct ... ...65 104 East precinct .. 93 92 West precinct .....52 114 Those opposed to the enterprise can be divided into three classes. Those who could not afford to pay the tax. Those that opposed the road for purely selfish interests. Those who opposed it simply because it meant progress for the town and who oppose any move that would result in benefit for people and in which they do not see a big percent interest immediately available to their bank accounts. For .the first set or class we feel the most sincere sorrow, but the other two classes are of little benefit to the town or community. It was a noticeable fact, however, that quite a number of tluose who' helped vote the improvement down did not feel the satisfaction they expected to feel over the result. They wanted the road but they also wanted the satisfaction of saying that it was the other fellow’s fault that we got it. Marion township voted the subsity by a big majority and it certainly looks good to the people there. A new petition is already being circulated asking the commissioners for another election, which is to be held in about six weeks. The same 2 per cent is asked for. _ ,

ICE CROP IS BEING HARVESTED BY KRESLER

Congealed Aqua Pura 9 Inches Thick is Being Rushed Into Big Ice Houses.

Frank G. Kresler, the local ice dealer, has a force of about .fiftyfive men at work putting up ice at his pond in the southeast part of town. The work was started Sunday morhing, having been marked off the afternoon before and if the cold spell continues all three ice houses will be filled by Wednesday night That will be enough to last in any ordinary season. Last year the houses were not filled, the ‘ibreak up” having come too soon, and the supply gave out and Mr. Kresler found isf necessary to buy SBOO worth of manufactured ice. It is hoped to obviate that requirement this year by having an adequite supply of the natural ice, which can be sold at a much less price. Ice packing has been going on at Cedar Lake for several days and the great store houses there will probably all be filled this week. Mr. Kresler was unable to get all the men needed and up to noon today was needing a half dozen extra hands.

Sigler Hotel at Cedar Lake is Destroyed by Fire.

The Sigler hotel, one of the most popular and best known summer resort hotels around Chicago, was utterly destroyed by fire early Friday morning. It swept up in flames clear to the ground. No clue is given to the cause. The loss will reach $50,000. No one was hurt. The caretaker, a Chicago man named McLaughlin, escaped with his life.

There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Rensselaer.

Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Rensselaer citizen Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? 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 nibliely expressed some years ago. I have even greater confidence in this remedy than I did then, for I have 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 Ferylig’s Drug Store arid they brought .prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a feig doses now and then keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and in each caea tlhe results have been of the best.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

COMRADE CRAMPTON FOR DEPARTMENT COMMANDER

Delphi Editor Being Boosted by Boothroyd Post—Rensselaer Friends Join* Movement

Rensselaer friends of Editor A. B. Crampton, of Delphi, will give hearty endorsement to the endorsement given him by Boothroyd Post, No. 31, of that city, as a candidate for Commander of the Department of Indiana. “Del” Crampton, as he is well known throughout the state, is a man of wonderful vigor of body and mind, a giant in stature and with a jovial good feeling that has made his talks at Grand Army meetings and encampments among the best for many years. Only last month Comrade Crampton came to this city to install the new officers of the post. He is also a Knight of Pythias and has addressed the local Knights in meetings in years gone by. He is the editor of the Carroll County Citi-zen-Times, a democratic newspaper, and has been a champion of the cause of the old soldier in all matters of legislation and in every controversy. The following brief sketch of his army life is taken from a circular letter endorsing his candidacy, and Was sent out by James A. Neff, adjutant of Boothroyd Post: ‘Comrade AB. Crampton enlisted in 1861 as color-bearer of the 48th Indiana volunteers, served in the campaigns'" against Corinth, (Miss. Vicksburg, Miss., Chattanoogo, Tenn., Atlanta, Ga., and Sherman’s March to the Sea, and was discharged in July, 1865, by reason of the close of the war, as Ist lieutenant of Co. A, 48th Indiana. “We Want is expressly understood that this announcement is by the order of Boothroyd Post, G. A. R., No. 31, of Indiana, and not by soliciting of Comrade Crampton.”

OATS AND POTATOES NEXT ON THE LIST

Campaign Will Be Conducted By Purdue Representative and County Agent Barrett.

It is very evident that a great improvement could be brought aboqt in the quality and quantity of Bnd potatoes which we are growing on our farms. Too much can not be said in regard to seed selection and it is needless to say that we all pay too little attention to the selee tion of our small seed's. Many of our oats fields are extremely smutty; others more or less and every head of smut means one less head of oats. This should not be the case and it is absolutely unnecessary. Treatment for oat smut is very simple and it is pure negligence for us to go on sowing untreated oats, taking the chance of more or less smut when the treatment is so easily applied to the seed.

The one thing that is so evident with regard to our potato yields is the amount of scabby potatoes. This also can be remedied comparatively easy. There is to be a series of meetings and demonstrations on oats and potatoes to be held in the county as follows: Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 10 o’clock, at Will Wbrttey’s, 6 miles south of Rensselaer. Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 2 o’clock, at the Auto Sales Garage in Remington. Tuesday, Fdb. 24, in County Agent Barrett’s office in the court house at 7:30. . Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 10 o’clock in Shreevefs workshop in DeMotte, and at 2 o’clock, same day, In the garage at Wheatfield. Please keep these—meetings In mind and everybody turn out, hear what the man from Purdue has to say and let’s improve our conditions in oat and potato growing, if possible.

O. G. BARRETT,

County Agent.

100 ARE INJURED IN RIOT AT SOUTH BEND

Polish Catholies Opposed Installation of Father Grass as PastorParish is Wrecked.

One hundred persons were injured in a church riot at South Bend Sunday. The Polish congregation of St. Casimier’s Catholic church has been without a pastor for some time and refused to accept Rev. Stanislaus Gruza, who had been sent there as pastor. He. appealed to Bishop Alerding some time ago and the order directing him to take charge of that church was held sufficient. He then appealed to the courts and Sunday was accompanied by officers to the chprch, but the doors were locked with the congregation on the inside. The sheriff broke open the door and the church bell rang as a signal tor the rioters to assemble and a swarm estimated at 2,000 gathered and the police called for assistance. Bricks were thrown, clubs were used and an effort was made by the fire department to disperse the mob by using a hose, but some one curt the hose before the water was turned on. The rioters entered the parish house and wrecked the furniture, holding nothing sacred but the crucifix and the portraits of the popes. The priest and the police finally withdrew, but not until the saplings that surround the church had been uprooted.and many had been injured. Warrants for the arrest of from 30 to 50 of the leaders of the mob were issued Sunday afternoon.

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS MUST GET LICENSES

Deputy Prosecutor Issued Instructions to Begin Prosecutions of AU Violators.

Unless you have procured a 1914 license you have no right to run your automobile. The licenses issued last year expired on Dee. 31st and the new licenses should be procured without delay. Deputy Prosecutor Delos Dean has had his attention called to the fact that there are many owners here who have not applied for new licenses and one day last week he counted some twenty-four machines that were carrying the 1913 license numbers. : The law imposes a heavy penalty for thia neglect and it is hoped this Warning proves sufficient and that all owners make application at once tor the licenses, tor failure to do so will certainly result in prosecutions. The last legislature made it illegal tor minors to smoke cigarettes or even to have them in their possession. There are many violations of the law here. Dealers are said to sell without question to minors, either cigarettes or tobacco ' and papers. The law makes it a violation to even have the papers in your possession. Several school boys, it is too bad to say, smoke cigarettes on their way to school and slip out during school hours tor a puff at the coffin nails. Proseouter Dean intends to give some attention to this practice and try to break it up.

Princess Patrons Delighted With Saturday Performances.

Manager George had George Klein’s marvelous performance “Between Savage and Tiger” as the attraction Saturday afternoon and evening and it was witnessed by about five hundred people and all were delighted with it The story is enacted among the savages of India and exhibits native scenes and a true-insight into the lives of the natives, also many jungle scenes where wild beasts are captured and shot. A story of man’s faithfulness for his loved ones while among the savages and of the great devotion his wife has for him makes a tale of love that ean not be surpassed. This picture was shown for the first time in any theatre in Chicago on Friday and Manager GSorge had it the following evening, which shows his enterprise in getting for the patrons of his theatre the very latest in film service, as well as securing films of a superior quality.
