Mrs. S. S. Shedd has returned from an extended visit with her daughter, Mrs. S. E. Sparling and husband at Demopolis, Ala. Nineteen applicants took the civil service examination here Saturday for positions as postmasters of the fourth class offices of the county. Mrs. W. A. Davenport was siezed with a severe attack of appendicitis last Saturday and her condition for some time was very critical. Miss Daisy Rollings returned to Indianapolis last evening after being here to attend the funeral of Mrs. A. J. Biggs. She is a sister of G. B. Rollings, son-in-law of Mr. Biggs. Mrs. James Hemphill underwent a, surgical operation at the Wesley hospital in Chicago a week ago. She will probably have to remain there for a week or more yet, her husband now plannig to go there for her next Sunday.

VICK’S pfSMiSALVF ▼ '“JUST R.UB IT ON".L Leslie Clark returned home Saturday from a two weeks’ sojourn at the National Sanitarium at Martinsville. There are a number of sanitariums there and all are doing a good business. Mrs. Mary Fembg was considerably brighter Sunday and indications were very much in her favor. Today, however, she is very restless and not nearly so well as she was yesterday. Her son, Simon, of Wheatfield, spent Sunday with her. Thelma, the 10-year-old daughter of Everett Brown, is quite sick at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Brown, on Milroy avenue. Tt was at first believed she had appendicitis but this seems not to have been the trouble and it is now believed she has an abdomlnal abscess. She is somewhat improved today over her condition of last week. John Casey, of Fair Oaks, went to Chicago last Saturday to witness the photo drama, “Creation,” which is being shown at the auditorium. The drama is divided into four parts, eaeh being complete in itself, but all four being combined so that a quite complete story results. It takes two days for the four parts to be shown. The pictures were gotten up at great expense, the money being supplied by the International Bible Students Association, which is an association of Christian people, but not applied to sect. Here is the latest about Ford automobiles: A big six cylined touring car drew up behin<J a Ford on a country road, and, trailed along behind it for several miles. “Why don’t you go around?” asked the companion of the driver of the big car. “What’s the use,” was the reply, “we’d come right up behind another one of ’em.” Order your Calling Cards at The Republican offic&

YICK'SincIo^SALVE Little Madeline Luers, of Parr, Visited over Sunday with her grandmother, Mrs. A. Luers, who accompanied her home this morning. The Salisbury Musical Co., which proved a very interesting entertainment here some two years ago, has been engaged for a concert at the Presbyterian church for about May lfth. - Thos. A. Crockett today handed us a bulletin advertising the 48th annual convention of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will meet in Detroit, Mich., Aug. 31st to Sept. sth, inclusive. Mrs. John Eger expects to return in about two weeks to Terre Haute to again ibe with 'her sister, Mrs. Otto Heyden, whose condition of health has been such that Mrs. Eger has been spending much of the past winter with her. VICK’S Pneumonia SALVE FOR ALL C OLD X R O U O LES The county council is holding a meeting today, to transact busi-ness-which should have been taken care of two weeks ago except. for the fact that there was not a quorum present at that meeting. Among other things the election of two new members of the council to succeed Sylvester Gray and Fiank Babcock will take place. We are having a touch of winter weather again. After one of the finest imaginable weeks of early spring weather the mercury took a drrp Saturday night and Sunday it became cold enough for overcoats and gloves Sunday evening. Today is mostly cloudy and quite raw, giving a set back to farm work a I'd straw hats.

Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Underwood,; of Chicago Heights, were Rensselaer visitors over Sunday. Mrs. Underwood was formerly Miss Hazel McColly, sister of Mrs. J. W. Coen, Mrs. Harry Kresler and Fred MeCplly, and before her marriage had taken up a claim in Montana, which adjoins the claim of her brother, John C. McColly, and to which they will go within a few days. Dr. Paul C. Curnick leaves today to attend th' Hammond district conference of the Northwest Indiana Conference at Michigan City. The program includes a number of prominent speakers, among them being Bishop W. F. McDowell, LLD, Rev. A. T. Briggs, superintendent of the district, who will be chairman of the convention. Dr. Curnick is on the program for an address. The Methodist church at Rensselaer is cne of the most prominent churches of the district. The sacred concert given by the Methodist church choir Sunday evening brought out a great congregation. The cantata was* entitled, “Priest and King,” and abounded with beautiful selections and with choruses. Miss Stover proved a very efficient leader and the choir 'responded to her excellent drilling. A quintette was sung by Lura Halleck, Aileen Allman, Jesse Allman, Anna Hartley and W. Waymire. A quartette was sung by Miss Halleck, Miss Waymire, Dr, Brown and Mr. Allman. The ladies sang a chorus and the entire cantata was enjoyed by the congregation. Miss Florence Allman and Miss Aileen Allman also played an excellent piano duet. /

WHY DID MARY BLUSH?

The Bishop Merely Reproved Her for a Bit of Duplicity. An elderly bishop, at bachelor, who, was very fastidious about his toilet, was especially fond of his bath, and requested particular care of his tub from the maid. Waen about to leave town one day he pave strict orders to the housemaid about his “bawthtub” and said that no one was to be allowed to use it Alls! the temptation grew on the poor girl and she took a plunge. Tte bishop returned unexpectedly, and Inding traces of the recent stolen bath questioned the maid so closely that she had to confess she was the culprit, and was very sorry. “I hope you do not think it is a sin, jishop ?” asked Mary in tears. Eyeing her closely, he said: “Mary, your using my tub is not a sin, but what distresses me most is that you would do anything behind my back that you would not do before my face.” . T A

Her Ambition.

“Why, if it ain’t Lucy Simmons!” exclaimed one Richmond negress not long ago, on encountering a friend in the s treet. “Whar on earth has yo’ been !” ‘T» , been workin’ hard,” was the answer. “Now dat I thinks of it,” continued the first darky, “seems to me I did hear of you’ workin’ night an’ day. What’s de matter?” “It’s jes’ dis way,” explained the second negress. “I’s under bonds to keep de peace for lickin’ dat good-for-nuthin’ husband o’ mine. De jedge he says es I come be:o’ him agin or lays my hands on de old man he gwine to fine me ten dollars.” “I see. Youse v.orkin’ hard to keep outer trouble?” “No, I aint. I’s workin’ hard to save up dat fine.”

Lethal Concerts.

A certain venerable citizen of a Pennsylvania city entertains no high esteem for his eldest daughter’s musical abilities. There being a guest one evening, the old gentleman was, to his disgust, compelled to spend an entire evening in the “parlor” whilst his daughter accomplished her whole repertoire for the edification of the atranger. “Ah,” said the latter, turning to the old man when one selection had been achieved, “there are some songs that will never die!” “You’re right,” growled the old man. “My daughter puts in a good deal of her time trying to kill ’em, but unavailingly, sir, unavaiiingly! ”

The Easier Way.

“How I hated work in those days!” said Mark Twain, recalling his boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri. “One morning my father led me into the garden and pointed to a bed of flowers that had a considerable number of weeds in it. , “ ‘I want you,’ said my father, ‘to wCed out this flower bed.’ “I examined bhe task ahead of me, and the more I looked at it, the bigger It seemed to grow. Certainly I had never seen so many weeds in my life. “ ‘Wouldn’t it be a simpler operation,’ I said to my father, ‘to flower out the weed bed?’ ”

NOT YET.

Waiter (table d’hote)—Are you through, sir? Diner—What’a the charge? Waiter —Two dollars. . Diner—Two dollars! (taking up knife and fork) No, I’m not through yet.

All Look Alike.

“Is dis Mandy Johnsing?” asked the voice on the ’phone. “Yas, dis is Miss Johnsing.” “Well, Miss Johnsing I done called you to de telephone to inquire If you would marry me?” “Marry you? Marry you? Of course I’ll marry you. What made you all think I wouldn’t marry you? Ob course I’ll marry you. Who is dis talkin’, please?”

Pa Furnished the Ladder.

"Dear,” whispered the eloping lover, “what shall we do with the rope ladder? We shouldn’t leave it hanging there.” >* "Oh, that’s all right,” replied the coy damsel. “Pa said he’d pull it up again so we couldn’t get back.”

Most Wonderful of All.

Mrs. Jenkins (returned from a visit to London)—Ay, that Lunnon ’s a wonderful place! What wi’ th’ 'orse buses and the motey buses and the ’lectric underground railways! An’ now I’ve corned away, I expects it’s all goin’ on Just the samel

SOME POLICY.

(Fort Wayne News.) Says the Lafayette Journal: The Muncie Star is an ardent advocate of a dry town. But the Terre Haute Star, owned by the same company, avoids a discussion of the saloon question. Business is business. To which might appropriately be added tfhe cheering information thfct the Indianapolis Star, also owned by the same company, is a blatant advocate of booze, denouncing prohibition as vicious and Pharisaical. Thus we hqve three" different policies shown ob a vital question by the same concern in Indiana. In Muncie the Star is dry; in Indianapolis the Star is wet:' in Terre Haute the Star is neither wet nor dry. The Terre Haute Star and the Muncie Star use as their editorials those published in the Indianapolis Star the day before—all except the editorials on the liquor question. These are framed up tb suit local conditions. Was ever a more pusillanimous policy pursued by any publisher? Yet the Star league, let us remember, professes to stand for all that is modern and “progressive.”

LITTLE GIRL!

You’ve a very narrow skirt, Little Girl. Are you sure it doesn’t hurt, That’s a mincing little stride Where the street is wild and wide, Are you sure there’s room inside, Little Girl? What will happen if you slip Little Girl? Aren’t you fearful it will rip, Little Girl? You would better take a sack, So if anything should crack, It would serve you coming back, Little Girl. Let the bottom out a bit, Little Girl. \ It is much too tight a fit,' Little Girl. As the matter sadly stands, You’ll be walking on your hands, And in that event—my lands! Little Girl! The house Friday by- a vote of 237 to 95 abolished the twenty cents per mile mileage allowance for members in traveling to and from the capital at the beginning and end of each session of congress and reduced the allowance of the representatives and senators to the actual traveling expenses of the members and their immediate and dependent families. It is estimated this will save approximately $114,000 a year. Mortgage exemption blanks at The Republican office. .
