Big League Ball Season Opened—How’s Tour Grandma?

Tuesday the major leagues opened their bseball season. It was the day when the office boys in the cities came in with a tale of woe about their grandmother’s death and begged off and then hustled to the ball park to witness the thrills of opening day. The Chicago Sox, with Scott on the slab, defeated Cleveland, 5 to 2. So tar as we have learned Charley Moody was the only Jasper county fan to witness the game. The Cubs lost to Cincinnati, 10 to 2, indicating that Murphy almost ruined the once fine team before he was deposed as president Walter Johnson pitched in midseason form for Washington, shutting Boston out 3 to 0. The New York Giants, with Marquard pitching, received a terrible trouncing by Philadelphia, the score being 10 to 1. The Yankees jumped on to the champion Athletics and won by the score of 8 to 1 The Detroit Tigers and St Louis Browns had a great hitch, the game going 13 innings, 3 to 2. St Louis made 2 scores in their half of the 13th and Ty Cobb secured a 3-bagger with two on bases and Crawford brought Ty across with a single. Are you getting the fever?

Wheatfield Review. The cry of fire was given on Friday afternoon about 2 o’clock and the residence of Ambrose Hendrickson was almost destroyed. The fire had gained considerable headway before discovered and when the fire department arrived with the chemical engine the entire too! was a mass of flames and before the fire was subdued the building was a total loss, which is partially covered by insurance. The household effects were nearly all removed from the building, although somewhat damaged. This first test given the town’s new fire engine certainly demonstrated the fact that the engine could keep a continuous stream on the fire. The members of the fire department are to be commended for their work at their first fire. The department will ask the town to furnish more ladders and other equipment. Herman Hawkins, 64, ex-county official of day county and prominent in labor unions, took carbolic acid at Linton Monday and died. He lived at Bradl.

COMMUNITY SHOCKED BY WOMAN’S DEATH

Mrs. Earl Duvall Victim of Poisoning Which Attacked System Following Operation. Mrs. C. Earl Duvall, wife of the well known clothing merchant, died at 4 o’clock this Wedensday morning, at her home on Van Rensselaer street. No death that has occurred in recent years has so shocked the community and caused such general sorrow among all the friends of the family. Mrs. Duvall was a young woman, being only 34 years of age, and had been apparently in the most robust health. A little more than a week ago she was suffering intensely from abdominal trouble and the famliy physician was called. He called Dr. Richter, a Chicago specialist, into consultation and the case was diagnosed as appendicitis. She was in a critical condition and an operation was performed Wednesday night of last week. Instead of a diseased appendix a strangulated ovarian cyst was found and the entire abdominal cavity was affected. It was believed that she would recover following ’the operation but her fever did not go down and on Saturday, the attending physician, Dr. A. R. Kresler, again called/Dr. Richter, who brought with him another specialist, Dr. Elliott. They realized the seriousness of her condition and tried to controvert the spread of poison, which had entered the blood. Dr. Richter was again called Monday evening. For a short time it seemed that she improved slightly, but Tuesday she was very low all day. Two nurses were employed on the case and everythnig was done to save her life, but she took suddenly worse just a few moments before her death and died before Dr. Kresler, who was called, could reach her bedside. About a week before .the operation Mrs. Duvall had suffered an attack of tonsilitis. A physician had not attended her at that time. It now seems probable that the abdominal condition was caused from the tonsilitis and that death was due to a general pyemia, which consists of the absorption into the blood of morbid matters from a wound or local infection. The immediate cause seems to have been a blood clot, death coming very suddenly. Mrk Duvall was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Biggs, and at this time her mother lies very near death suffering from a cancerous growth in the stomach. Death seems a matter of only a few days and possibly only a few hours. The family is certainly sorely afflicted.

Mrs. Duvall’s maiden name was Leona Myrtle Biggs. She was 34 years of age On Feb, 28th, and was married to C. Earl Duvall Oct. 16, 1901. Besides the husband and parents she leaves two children, Helen, aged 11, and Albert, aged 19 months. Also two'brothers, Harry, of Canon City, Colo., and Frank of this county; and three sisters, Mrs. G. B. Rollings, of Indianapolis, and Misses Nell and Mildred Biggs, of this city. As wife, mother and daughter she was a young woman of admirable qualities, while she was admired by all who knew her in this city and surrounding country and the chief topic of conversation albout Rensselaer today has been to discuss her untimely death and to express regret for her bereaved husband and children. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but it is probable that the funeral will be held some time Friday.

Band Concerts to Start In About Two Weeks.

Prof. Otto Braun is about recovered from a severe attack of ptomaine poisoning and actively at work training the Rensselaer boys’ band for the coming concert season. There will be eighteen members of the band this year and Mr. Braun says it will be by all odds the best band the town has ever had. Frequent practices are being held and the music this year m ill consist of entirely new selections and the concert season, which is to start in about two weeks, probably the first Thursday in May, will as ford a great deal of enjoyment to all who come out to hear the music.

Squire Irwin Married Elderly Couple Tuesday.

Squire Ijßrrti married a couple Tuesday raat did not have to secure the consent of their parents to have the knot woven, the groom being 80 years of age and the bride 64. Notwithstanding the fact that they were far past the age where parental approval is required they had some difficulty in getting married, having been denied a license at Crown Point, where the clerk made objection because the bride did not reside in Lake county. He directed them to Rensselaer, the trip being made by auto, and after getting a license of Clerk Perkins, they were married in the clerk’s office by Squire Irwin. Both had had previous experience and consequently were not very much abashed when the obligations were spoken, although the bride in a blushing manner expressed a wish that the newspapers should not say' much about it. T~ ~ • - The groom wasCharleAG. Brown, of Shelby, where he is called “the mayor.” He is a retired farmer, a native of Vermont, and will be 81 years of age the Bth of next September. He has had one previous matrimonial voyage, his first wife having died Dec. 23, 1906. The bride was Mrs. Rose V. Thompson, and she was born in Ohio June 28, 1850. Her home & at DeMotte and she has been married twice before, her first husband being named Stell, and her second husband was Charles Thompson. No 1 died in 1908 and No. 2in 1911. Both are quite hearty in appearance and their acquaintances and friends will wish for them a long and happy married life, with “many happy returns.”

Fred Noel, of Goodland, who was arrested following a raid in search of “blind tiger” evidence, made by good citizens of that town, was bound over to the circuit court. Elmore Barce, of Fowler, is defending him, while William Darroeh and T. B. Cunningham, of Kentland, are assisting the prosecution. VICK’S V “JUST R.UB IT ON"L Rev. J. C. Parrett returned last evening from Gary, where he attended the spring meeting of the Logansport Presbytery. Rev. H. B. Hostetter, of South Bend, was elected moderator. The fall meeting of the Presbytery will be leld at Bourbon, where a new $17,000 church has just been completed. L. B. Preston and wife and son, Hayes Preston and wife, of Minneapolis, Minn., have rented Bert Brenner's property on River street and will move into the same as soon as their household effects arrive.

Coen and son, Alban, of Berwyn, 111., spent Monday night and Tuesday with her mother, Mrs. J. M. Wasson, returning to Chicago Tuesday evening. Alban returned Sunday from his extended trip in Europe, where he made a study of architecture, that being his profession and he is now ready to engage in business.

VICK’S SALVE Justice Job Barnard, of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, a former lesident of Ft Wayne, has announced his intention to retire from the bench on June 8, when he will be 70 years old. He told his friends in Washington some time ago that he was anxious to give up active work and make room for a younger man.

U. S. SENDS FLEET TO ENFORCE DEMAND

President Wilson Rushes Atlantic Squadron to Tampico, Mexico, To Compel Salute. The Mexican situation took a somewhat sudden turn for the worse Tuesday' when President Wilson dispatched the gigantic Atlantic fleet to Tampico to compel the federal government of Mexico to salute the American flag as a compliance with the requirement made by Admiral Mayo after the arrest last week of an assistant paymaster of the U. 8. navy and several blue jackets. The salute was to constitute an official apology for the act. Up to Tuesday night the salute had not been rendered and the fleet was rushed to the border, so dispatches state, to compel the Huerta government to respond to the demand. It is not improbable that a contemplated outbreak of anti-American feeling may have caused the abrupt decision to send additional warships to Mexican waters. President Wilson and other ofiicials are said to be optimistic that the Mexican government will do as demanded when they realize that the U. 8. means business and bloodshed is not expected. In this country, however, as well as in England, there is a growing belief that inter- z vention by the United States is cer- z tain to ensue. In the U. S. fleet ate 15,000 men, while a good sized army of trained and well seasoned troops is stationed along the border. The newspapers have more of a war appearance in discussing this latest phaze of the trouble than they have had since the Mexican civil strife began.

(Mrs. Ray Adams and little daughter, of near Demopolis, Ala., arrived here several days ago and Mrs. Adams, whose health has been quite poor, expects to soon enter a Chicago hospital sos treatment Her father, Scott Brenner, has also been in the south during the winter, working at the carpenter trade. He expects to return to ihls home in Mt. Ayr soon. A member of the militia company at Terre Haute tried to avoid attending inspection and was arrested, taken from his bed and sent to Jail. Under the law a soldier can not be bailed out until he has been in jail five days and the safest and most honorable thing for all to do Is to comply with the terms of enlistment and attend the drills and inspections. The annual inspections in the state are now in progress and Company M will be inspected on April 27th. Nothing but the certificate of a physician will excuse a member from attend: ance and, the excuse must only be given in case of actual disability. The personal property of Dr. S. H. Moore, the aged physician Who got into bad elreumstnees following his purchase of an automobile, brought only about $57. In addition to this there was a note of less than S3OO which the officers secured by attachment. After the court costs are paid there will be somewhat less than S3OO to apply to the judgment for $650 in favor of D. 8. Makeever. Dr. (Moore evidently tried to defeat the payment of this judgment, as he had drawn over $1,300 from the bank since the first of January, sending the. money to his daughter in California where he has now gone to live It is understood that he still has an equity in a farm near Hamilton, N. Dale, and it is possible that Mr. Makeever might secure the balance of the mnnov dim him.
