SPEAKS FIGURATIVELY; WISHING US “73”

J. Cecil Alter, of U. S. Weather Bureau, Explains Meaning of These Figures.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Meh 24. Dear Rensselaer Republican: I note your reference to the senti-' mental use'of the figures “thirty” in this week’s issue, and it reminds me not only of the little “30” at the bottom of our last telegraphic weather reports every morning and evening, as has been the custom for many years, but that on the occasion of the passing away of a veteran telegraph operator in this city recently a large floral piece, given by fellow employees was a huge “30”, the only flowers in evidence. Perhaps a better “figure” of speech is the “73” which has long been used in telegraphic, government, and other services, .and which means “best regards.” It carries a Christmas, or holiday greeting as fully as a message, and I have even seen it go unden a frank, quite immune from the postage necessary on a message meaning the same thing written out Tn full. In the stiffest, strictest, executive correspondence where coldness and inhumanity seem so often to take the place of personal sympathy, letters that would otherwise give the recipient “gooseflesh,” are softened into the kindest of language and meaning by a tiny “73” in the handwriting of the* signed of the letter. So, my thoughts for you and Jasper county are not “3(F but “73”! J. CECIL ALTER, Local Office, U. 8. Weather Bureau.

Opposed to the Marriage of Ducklings—Gets Funny.

The Francesville Tribune revives the following: When Uncle Billy Beane, of the Goshen Democrat was living, in speaking about unhappy marriages he said the following: “Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in society- pastures without any yokes on them. They marry and have children before they do mustaches; they are fathers of twins before they have two pairs of pants and the little girls they marry are old. Occasionally one of these gosling marriages turn out all right but it’s a clear case of luck. If there was a law against young galoot's sparking and marrying before they have cut their teeth we suppose the little cusses would evade it in some way, but there ought to be a sentiment against it. It is time enough to think of finding a pullet When they have raised money enough to buy a bundle of laths to build a hen house. But they see a girl who looks cunning, and they are afraid there is not going to be girls enough to go around, and then they begin to gdt in real spry, and before they own a cook stove or a bedstead they have to get up in the night and go after a doctor so frightened that they run themselves out of breath and abuse the doctor because he doesn’t run foo, and when the doctor gets there there is not enough linen in the house to wrap up a baby doll.

Sergeant Ball to Be Tried in Civil Courts.

Sergeant Edwin F. Ball, of Indianapolis,who while on provost guard last year during the encampment, shot and killed a private named Dowell, will be tried in the civil courts, according to the decision of Orin S. Hack, who sat as a special judge in the Marion county circuit court Thursday. Hack indicated that on any charge short of first degree murder the defendant if on military duty at the time could be tried by courts-martial. Bal! is well known to several members of the national guard company here. Ball is said to have borrowed the revolver with which he killed Dowell of a regular army officer and not to have known that it was loaded. Dowell was under arrest and jumped from a car and ran. Ball commanded him to stop and fired when he continued to run. Dowell died two or three days later.

Officers and organizations of the national guard have contributed to his defense and the fight to save him from conviction will be vigorously made.

An Indianapolis horse buyer will be here Saturday and wants to buy a car load of horses of any kind. Bring your horses on that day to Padgett’s livery barn and get the highest market price.

Jesse Payne, Who Was Moving " From Washington Connty to Remington Met Sudden Death.

Monticello Journal. Jesse Payne, of South Boston, Washington county, was killed almost instantly at Reynolds Wednesday evening. He was in transit with a freight carload of his household goods and farming implements from the southern part of the state to Remington. His car had been shunted in oh the “Y” for transfer to the Pennsylvania lines. The door of the car was open and he was standing in it looking out. The local freight crew was busy making up their train and backed in on the “Y”, making a running switch and, id so doing, they struck a blow hard enough to cause the car door to shove shut, catching Mr Payne and crushing his head and bruising his body. He lived only a short while. Coroner Gable was called at once and after his inquest the body was prepared for shipment to his father, S. N. Payne, of Remington. The blow struck was so hard that

it dented in the case of a gold watch which Mr. Payne had in his pocket. Mr. Payne was at one time a teacher and had been a student in the Danville Normal. Of late he had been farming in Washington county.

Eli H. Wood Celebrated 78th Birthday March 23rd.

Monon News. Eli H. Wood was 78 years old Monday, March 23rd. It was not the intention to celebrate the event in any unusual manner, but as the family was sitting down to the noon meal, Mrs. Harvey Wood and Mrs. Aletha Jacks, of Jasper county, arrived, and a more sumptuous provision was made for dinner. Mr. Harvey Wood sent With the visitors a large strip of dried beef, which he had cured himself, as a present to his brother. It was a reminder of the dried beef that was always on hand in their Ohio home when they were boys. Mr. Wood is enjoying good h ealth and looks younger than he did a year ago, and the cheerfulness that has always characterized his life is no doubt an important factor in keeping him youthful. We hope he may reach the century mark with faculties undimmed, in which all of our readers will share.
