Widow of John Myers Died At North Vernon Thursday.

Mrs. Mary Myers, widow of John Myers, died at North Vernon Thursday, and the three children, all of whom reside in this county, received the sad information this Friday morning. The children are Will McKinney and Ed Myers, of Newton township, and Mrs. Charley Payne, of Kniman. The particulars of her death were not learned. She had been at North Vernon only about five weeks and so far as the Rensselaer children knew had been in fair health until Wednesday of this week a telegram came to Mrs. McKinney stating that She was dangerously ill. Ed Myers went to North Vernon and the body will be shipped here and it is probable that the funeral will be held Sunday in Milroy township, burial being made in the Benson cemetery.

MODERN EQUIPMENT IN DR. CATTS OFFICE

Finest Modern Grinding Plant and Machinery Made, to Be Installed In His Optical Office. "** Dr. A. G. Catt has let a contract for a complete lends'grinding plant where all of his prescription work in the fitting and grinding of lenses will be executed under his supervision, and having acquired a reputation far above the mediocre and still wishing to furnish higher class service, which should com mand and hold the patronage of the public It is stated by Dr. Catt that the practical mechanical work in this line is a very important part of the curriculum of optical education. It imparts a knowledge and proficiency in the art of correct eyeglass making that can be gained in no other way. It also developes a skill and dexterity in making facial adjustments that are vitally necessary to the successful practioner. A lens grinding plant on the premises will enable him' to make your glasses to meet the requirements of each individual patient. •With it he can give the public quicker and better service. The out of town patients can take their glasses home the same day the examination is made, with theadvantages of having them carefully adjusted to the face after being made. Such service should be highly appreciated and should do much to induce the people from our nearby towns to have their work done here

Broken lenses can also be replaced in a few minutes time when jiecessary. Lenses can be made the size and shape required for each individual face, holes can be drilled in rimless lenses just where wanted to set the lenses the proper position before the eyes. In fact, a lens grinding plant such as will be installed places the owner in a position to build your glasses in such a Way as to give them the maximum individuality and refinement; it also increases efficiency and value of his work and enables him to meet competition from the vantage ground of promptness and accuracy unexcelled. Having established a reputation as a skillful, painstaking optome;rist and by keeping up with the atest improvements, we feel that it is right to ask the public to patronize the owner of such a progressive business.—Adv.

ROBERT VANATTA RENOMINATED JUDGE

While in Hospital Suffering With Fractured Leg He Is Named Again by Republicans. Robert M. Vanatta, son of John R. Vanatta of this city, and who for the past four years has been the judge of the circuit court of Grant and Delaware counties, has been renominated without opposition by the republicans of the two counties.

A. gymnasium and he was confined in a bed at the hospital when the convention met and renominated him. He is making quite satisfactory recovery from his accident, and, according to a Marion paper, rested easier Wednesday than he has any day since his injury. ..

Visit of Pat Lally Recalls The Days of “Way Back There.”

Pat LaHy, of Michigan City, where he is a rural route carrier, stepped off in Rensselaer Thursday for a short visit with relatives and friends. He had been at Reynolds Thursday to attend the funeral of Thomas E. Donnelly,, formerly of Remington. Mr. Lally recently fell and severely bruised his left cheek, just below the eye, and infection started and he (had a serious time with it, tihe injury not being entirely healed yet. It is a good many years since Pat left Jasper county and there are not many living today who are any more familiar with the history of the county preceding and just after the close of the civil war. He carried mail by horseback between Rensselaer and Bunkum, 111., and Rensselaer and Kankakee, 111., in 1859, when Edwin P. Hammond was the postmaster. That was several years before Rensselaer had a railroad. It required two days to make tihe round trip to Bunkum and three to make the round trip to Kankakee. The winters were severe and Pat was only a strip of a boy, but he had the grit and handled the job wdll. He is now, carrying a rural route out of Mich-' igan City, having held the job for fourteen years. His wife is a sister of Mrs. G. M. Robinson and of Allen Catt.

Former Jasper County Boy ~ Named to Cremate Mrs. Haynes.

Sam Luce, formerly of DeMotte, but for some years an undertaker in Chicago, where he is making good, came in for some unexpected notoriety a few days ago and his picture was published in the Chicago Tribune and an extended account given of his part in carrying out the unique will of Mrs. Celia M. Haynes, a pioneer woman doctor. She was 69 years of age and had been married while serving as a war nurse. Her husband was a surgeon and they first met upon a battlefield. For some time was actively engaged in practice. Last October she made a will which provided that when she died her body should be cremated and the ashes scattered in the cemetery, permission to scatter ip ttie park having been refused. Undertaker Sam Luce was named in the will to see that this was done. The will provided that her parrot was to be chloroformed and the body cremated with hers, but friends interceded and saved the bird. The pictuer in the Tribune of Tuesday showed Mr. Luce and an assistant scattering the ashes in the cemetery.

Henry V. Childers came over from Delphi yesterday for a visit of several days with his son, J. W. Childers and family. He is looking very well for one of his advanced years.

VOTED FOR ROOSEVELT TO REBUKE THE BOSSES

They Are Out of Control and Mayor of New Castle Returns to ReIndiana State Journal. - Mayor “Leb”-Watkins, of New Castle, 1912 progressive, elected mayor as an independent, has announced his return to the republican party in the following communication to the New Castle Courier: To the Editor of the Courier: Having been elected mayor of Newcastle on an independent ticket, without affiliation with any political party, I feel that I am a Moses in the wilderness so far as that election goes. I was elected by my friends of all parties, not for any particular reason other than that the majority of the voters from all classes had confidence in my ability to handle the affairs of the city government. There was no politics in it: but now, that there has been some discussion recently in this city about my politics, I deem it proper at this time to make plain to all men just where I stand in that regard, and it will not take many words to state my position. I am a republican. I remember that when I was a boy the only democratic congress we 'have had for fifty years until the Woodrow Wilson congress, passed the Wilson-Gorman tariff law, under which farm products were taxed ten per cent when imported from other countries; and the next year we had seventeen cent corn, and so many' soup houses that a census of them was never possible. Now, with this one man party running things, the tariff is all off most farm products, except cugar, cane syrup, tobacco, hemp and all other products of the “Sunny South” (democracy’s stronghold) except cbtton. We are surely headed for another era of free soup and idleness and for my part, I dont want any of it. > I voted for Roosevelt two years ago in the belief that it was the thing to do, to rebuke the hidbound bosses which had controlled the republican party for some time. But now they are out of control, i;he abuses which they heaped upon the party have been wiped out, and they have “gone away back and sat down.” There is, therefore, no present necessity for the progressive party. All it can possibly do is to. defeat republican candidates and policies and prolong the term of One-Man party Wilson, and I love my country too well to aid in that. The farmers of Canada and South America and the mechanics in Engand and Europe, are not buying any American-made, Newcastlemade, if you please, automobiles, pianos, kitchen cabinets, shovels, or roses, and good sense tells me that my Interest and that of every patriotic American lies in the return of the republican party to power, the enactment of a fair protective tariff law, and the sure return of prosperity to this fair land. I am tired of seeing American farmers and mechanics made the “goat” for their foreign competitors, who pay no taxes here, farm cheap land and live in a way that would cause a rebellion in this country if forced on our people. These are a few of the reasons why I am still, as I always have been, a republican, and shall work and vote for republican success this year. This letter is written of my own free will and accord and without solicitation from any republican. Very respectfully, J. LEB WATKINS, Mayor of New Castle.

All former prisoners released by the city court at South Bend on promise to pay fines and who have failed to do so are receiving bills from the city. Unless they settle within ten days they will be rearrested and compelled to serve out the fines in jail. Many of the unpaid fines date back several years. James Deering gave $1,000,000 to Wesley hospital in Chicago Wednesday. The gift is a perpetual endowment and the interest is to be used for the care of charity patients. The only other condition attached is that the name of the hospital shall be changed to Wes’ey Memorial hospital. Hearings before the house judiciary, committee on the Hobson 1 res olution proposing a constitutional amendment to prohibit the sale, manufactuer for sole, Interstate shipment or importation of alcoholic liquors for beverage 'purpose* began Wednesday with an address by Representative Hobson, of Alabama, author of tiro resolution. A Washington shoe dealer has sent to a Lynn, Mass., factory for wedding slippers for Miss Eleanor Wilson, and from the factory comes the interesting information that the shoes are to be size 7, width C. That Is a good, substantial foot. The joy of being a White House bride must be modified by some phases of its publicity.

ENDORSED AT HOME.

Such Proof at This Should Convince Any Rensselaer Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or 'he would not do so. Telling one’s experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated; The following statement given by a resident of Rensselaer adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being published about Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read it. William Clift, 528 College St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had kidney and bladder trouble and my back ached severely. I didn’t sleep well and was annoyed by a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. I took doctors’ medicine and remedies of various kinds, but found no relief until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills. Since then my back hasn’t troubled me and I have felt better in every way. It gives me great pleasure to endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Xfilft had.

When Mr. E. Haag, proprietor of the Mighty Haag shows, which exhibits at Rensselaer on* Thursday, May 7th, decided to inaugurate his eighteenth season as a successful purveyor of all that is good in cirto the public, he decided to create a new departure, his idea being to combine a first class circus and wild west performance under one mammoth stretch of waterproof and sun proof canvas, and for one price of admission; something never attempted before by any showman; both circus and Wild 'West will be complete exhibitions in itself in every detail, making the best exhibition ever offered to the public.
