TRAINS SNOWBOUND NEAR FRANKFORT

Passenger Train Due Here Monday At 10:11 Was 25 Honrs and 17 Minutes Late.

Several pasenger trains on the Mo non railroad were annulled today, Tuesday, owing to the fact that the schedule had been so badly broken up by snow blockades. The worst difficulty seems to have been near Fran Mort and Kirklin. Train No. 36, due here at 4:44 Monday morning, arrived that evening between 7 and 8 o’clock, while train No. 32, due here at 10:11 Monday, did not arrive until Tuesday morning at 11:28, being 25 hours and 17 minutes behind time. The train to run on that schedule today was annulled as were several other trains where Monday’s trains had been delayed. No. 33, which is the south bound HoosSer Limited, due here at 2 o’clock each day, was unable to get through to Indianapolis Monday. Today a train composed of the equipment of No.. 30 and the crew of No. 38, running as 33, at about 3 o’clock.

Nos. 4 and 6, northbound trains on the Louisville division, are reported snowbound at Whitesville in the southern part of the state. To add to the snow troubles No. 32 ran into the rear of No. 36 at Kirklin Monday. " ~ T —

MEXICAN SITUATION AGAIN LOOKS SERIOUS

Killing of British Subject May Necessitate U. S. to Intervene— England Insists.

The assassination of William S.Benton, a' British subject, by General Villa in Mexico, is apt to make it necessary that the United States enter that troubled republic in order to guarantee to the subjects of all foreign countries the protection to which they are entitled. Benton had interests in Mexico and when he went to Villa to protest because his; rights Were not 'protected die was kilted.- —-Villa claims that he was court-mkrtialed and when being tried drew a revolver in an attempt to kill Villa. This story is not believed by those who are iri a position to best know Villa’s temperament. England is outraged at the killing of Benton and insists that her subjects must be protected and will probably send troops there to see that they are protected. The United States, by reason of the Monroe Doctrine, may find it necessary to become the protector of all country’s interests. Gradually the Mexican situation is assuming proportions that seem to point inevitably to armed inter- 1 vention by the United States.

QUINTETTE PLAYING RETURN WITH LOWELL

Capt Groom and His Sturdy Athletes Go to North Town to Play Game of Basketball.

Captain Kenneth Groom and his high school ’basketball team, composed of Eigelsbach, Healey, Hanley and Jimmie Babcock, went to Lowell this afternoon to play a return game with the high school of that town. The Lowell lads were given a 46-14 trimming here Friday evening of last week and it is expected that our lads will be able to defeat them on the Lowell court. Unless other arrangements are made this will conclude the games for the locals. Roasville, south of Delphi, has the prize team in that part of the state and Ross Q. Hufford, of Agent Beam’s depot force, who hails from Rossville, is of the opinion that Rossville can make a cleaning on Rensselaer right in our high school gymnasium. This is disputed by the local players and it is possible the Rossville lads can be brought here for a game. It would bring out a large Crowd if they would consent to come. The state meet takes place at Bloomington March 13 and 14 and the basketball five expects to go there to play in one or more games.

Senior Reception Was a Pleasant High School Function.

The senior reception to the juniors was given at the armory Monday evening and proved the most enjoyable of the receptions ever given by senior classes. Heretofore the receptions have been given in private homes, but in order that part of the evening could -be de voted to dancing it was decided to hold the reception in the armory, which had been charmingly decorated.

The first half of the evening was devoted to entertainment, a very enjoyable program being carried out. Miss Pauline Curnlck gave two readings, Miss Ethel Dyer one reading, Miss Bel Laßue a piano solo and the high school orchestra several selections. Refreshments consisting of pineapple ice, chocolate and anglefood cake, jumbo peanuts and cherry smash were served. The dance continued until about half after twelve Only the members of the two classes and the high school teachers were present.

VISITING DAY FOR PARENTS THURSDAY

Superintendent Dean Writes to Impress Patrons That They Should Get Better Acquainted.

Rensselaer Public Schools. Feb. 25, 1914. Dear Parents: Announcements were made at different times concerning the literary programs held recently in the Christian church. You remember it was also announced that Thursday, February 356th, 1914, was to be visiting day for the patrons of the public schools. This note is to remind you that the day is almost here and we are expecting you to spend a part of the time with us. You will be welcome in any of the buildings and rooms. For the sake of convenience will say that the primary building has the first five grades, the grammar, or old high school building, the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, also the domestic science and commercial departments, while the new high school building has the high school and manual training departments. The work to be given Thursday will be regular school work and not special work for that day. Besides giving you an opportunity to see regular work, we are anxious to have you here for the following reasons;

1. To become better acquainted with the teachers. 2. To see what we are trying to do. 3. To arouse more of a community interest in the schools. 4. To have you offer any suggestion regarding the work we are doing or not doing. •Pupils will be on duty in the halls in the different buildings to assist visitors in finding rooms and teachers. If you can only spend ten minutes we will be glad to have you that long, hut stay longer if you can.

Very truly,

Advocates Purchase of Raw Materials lor Fertilizers.

County Agent Barrett has been advising farmers to get together and buy our fertilizers as raw materials and mix them ourselves, -which he says without a doubt Is as good as the factory mixed goods and in -fact all with whom I have talked, that have tried it, back up his statement.

Rtecently the Farmers’ Organization of Marion Township called a meeting and invited in some of the fertilizer agents to make -bids on the amount wanted by the various men. County Agent Barrett was unable to attend the meeting but several had talked with him regarding the prices of mixing and proportions, etc., and a composite order of materials was made up to the amount ,of 28 tons of mureate potash and 53 tons of acid phate and the best prices wihicli could be gotten were $40.50 a ton for the mureate and $13.75 a ton for the 14 per cent acid phosphate and this amounts to $1,862.75. This amount of materials is equal to 82 tons of 5-13 and 33 tons and 400 pounds of 10-10 with 80 pounds of mureate potash left over. The price of both 5-13 and 10-10 from the same agent to whom the order was given is $23.50 a ton and at that price the amount of plant foods -would have cost $2,707.20, so it is easily seen that there was saved $844.45 or about a third of the amount it would have cost, or slightly better than 44 per cent of the cost price.

Jasper county is one of the big fertilizer using counties of the state and one in which I believe, as County Agent Barrett says, in general is more greatly in need of nitrogen and the other two elements of fertility which we need to pay attention to, being mineral elements and obtainable from commercial sources only. We should pay attention to the elements of potash and phosphoric acid and get these from the cheapest possible source, and that without a question of a doubt is in the raw state and bought through the fanners’ oifganization. Why can not other townships get together and do as was done in Marion? —Contributed.

REMINGTON PEOPLE SIM IN DEPOT

Reynolds Station Harbored Twenty Persons Who Tried to Reach Rensselaer Monday.

Twenty Remington citizens spent Monday night in the depot at Reynolds, some catching an occasional nap while sitting in the crowded little station and others not getting a wink of sleep. They were all interested in the cases of the State of Indiana vs. Orin Lucas and George Reed, two Remington men who are charged with having violated the blind pig liquor laws of the state. The case had been set for trial Monday, but the roads between this city and Remington were so drifted with snow that passage was impossible and two rigs that started across country were forced to give it up and turn back. The morning east bound train on the Pennsylvania road through Remington did not get along until 3 o’clock in the afternoon. It had been stuck in a snow bank just east of Goodland, The west bound train was also stuck - in the same drift of snow and neither could get forward nor backward. Finally two freight engines from Loganspoirt’ managed to push the west bound train through the snow and then the east bound passenger got through. The Remington people expected to make connections at Reynolds with a train for Rensselaer but learned after reaching that city that there were no trains running on the Monon and as all hotel rooms at Reynolds had been engaged there was nothing to do but to spend the night in the depot. The tired crowd reached Rensselaer on the milk train this Tuesday morning and it was about an hour late. After their arrival the defendants filed affidavit for a change of venue and the case was sent to Newton county for trial. In the crowd of Remington people who had remained up all night was J. H. Biddle, a venerable citizen of Remington who is interested in the prosecution as a member of the Good Citizen’s League of Remington. He had a chance to get a bed in the hotel at Reynolds but the room was cold and the covers scarce and he thought it best to remain up at the* station. The return trip was made with less dfficulty, south bound passenger train No. 33, due here at 2 o’clock, coming in an hour late and making connections at Monon and Reynolds so that the Remingtonians will get home tonight. The jurymen were also delayed in getting here, some not arriving until today. As the state cases against Lucas and Reed were sent to Kentland for trial and the cases against Eugene Kirk, of Newton county, were continued, the jury was dismissed until Wednesday. Four state cases against Eugene Kirk, of Newton county, have been hanging fire for a year. Kirk lives on a farm near Mt. Ayr. A yqar ago in January, D. K. of Roselawn, missed a new Birdsell wagon from his implement shed. He tried in a quiet way to learn what had become of it and along In April some one tipped him off that there was a new Birdsell wagon in Kirk’s barn and that it had been partly painted over. Mr. Frye secured Sheriff Dowling, of Kentland, and went to Kirk’s farm and got the wagon. Kirk is said not to have objected and the state case charging larceny is the result. Other cases are based upon charges made by Mrs. Jennie Conrad, also of Newton county. Mrs. Conrad was unable to attend the trial today and the case was postponed for the term just before a lot of the witnesses arrived.

Redmen Had a Fine Banquet Monday Night—140 Present.

The Red (Men and Pocahontas banquet Monday evening proved a very enjoyable affair. The bad night probably kept several from attending, especially the members from the country, but there were 140 at the banquet board and of these about fifteen, were invited guests. The evening was enjoyabiy spent in music and speeches. Mrs. J. A. Grant left Saturday for New Orleans, where she will visit for the ensuing month with her sister, Mrs. Caddie Tourne. She got away just a day ahead of the storm and probably suffered no delay on account of snows.

At Fargo there was some 38 below zero weather, while in St. Paul and Wisconsin it was only about 24 below. Rural routes were not carried Monday, that being a legal holiday and it was a fortunate thing for the carriers, who would have found it almost If not entirely impossible to make the rounds. A drift almost three feet in depth across the road this side of the college made ft impossible to get through with an automobile, although some horse rigs are reported to have gone through. In the bright sun there is a little melting today but R is very light. The minimum last night was 5 below and the highest point reached yesterday was 23 above.
