Franchise for Brown’s Interurban Again Published.

The Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad Co., known locally as the Brown route to distinguish it from the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., the Roberts route, and which is asking franchises in several counties, has again caused a copy of the franchise asked to be published in The Lafayette Journal. The franchise definitely defines the route to be taken from Lafayette and provides that work must be started by November Ist, of this year, and that the road must be completed and cars running by Jan. 1, 1916, The route chosen is from West Lafayette to iMontmorenci, then north on the (Marshall road to the line between Tippecanoe and White counties. The franchise provides that not less than four cars shall be run each way each day. The caTS may alKbe attached as one train or run separately as four - trains. Aside from the fact that a definite surveyed route was required, and any person should be able to see that this should be demanded in every county, the wording of the franchise is practically the same in all counties through iwhich it is proposed to build the road.

My jack was most affected and often ■ ;he pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me >y their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at iiault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last bund the remedy I needed. My Sidneys were strengthened arid the pains in my back were removed. have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since when having similar attacks and I have never failed to get relief. Price 50c, at all dealers.

FORMER HIGH SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT HERE

F. W. Reubelt and Wife and Other Members of Family Spent Sunday at His Old Home.

Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Reubelt and son, Claud, and son-in-law, James Lucas, came to Rensselaer by auto Sunday and spent the day, remaining over night, at the home of Mrs. Peter Rhoads, where Isaac Reubelt and wife and daughter, Miss Julia, are visiting. The Republican erred last week when it stated that they were coming from Pekin, 111., for they left there a number of years ago and now reside at Bourbon, Ind„ where Mr. Reubelt is engaged in the general merchandise business and near which place he owns a farm. Claud resides at Argos, 12 miles from Bourbon. Frank Reubelt, a younger son, is a blacksmith and lives at Etna Green. He had expected to accompany his parents here, but was unable at the last minute to get away. Mr. Reubelt was able to see quite a number of old friends during the day and to review with them many of the things that happened during the six and a haMyears thathe was superintendent of the Rensselaer schools. He came here in the fall of 1885 and resigned in the midwinter of 1891, to accept the superintendency of the Pekin, IH., schools, at an advance of SSOO a year tin salary. Although he is 60 years of age, Mr. Reubelt’s hair is as brown-black as 4t was .when he resided here, over 22 years ago, and he hasn’t a gray hair that would divulge the encroachment of age. In fact, he would easily pass for a man in the early forties. He paid a high compliment to Rensselaer when he said that he bad never known during his teaching experience of a town where the school board, the patrons and the public in general seemed so loyfl to the schools and extended to the head of the schools such loyalty.

It might be said in response to this compliment that Mr. Reubelt had a firm hold on the affections of his pupils and the community in general and those who attended the high school during the years he was here will attribute to him much of the encouragement that has influenced them throughout life. He is probablf the best remembered of the old time school superintendents and it will be interesting to many of his former pupils to know that he asked about many otf them and recalled their names with a memory as clear as though It was only a year or two ago that he had left, instead of almost a quarter of a century. Having found the way here, it is probable that Mr. Reubelt and family will come again at some future time, when more of his old friends can have (the opportunity to meet him.

The table was lighted with yellow tapers. The guests were members of the Delta Zeta sorority, of which Miss Miller is a member.
