Fine Oats Near Roselawn; One Field Made 60 Bushels.

S. M. Laßue, the Roselawn merchant, reports fine oats in that neighborhood. The threshing there is now just about completed, there having been some delays recently on account of rain. The largest yield - per acre was reported by Sharp Hanley, who had out 70 acres which a'veraged 60 bushels to the acre. A more remarkable yield, perhaps, was that of G. H. Hillis, who* had out 240 acres, which yielded an average of 5iy 2 bushels per acre. Oats generally averaged around forty bushels, says Mr. Laßue, and his own made that average. The price now is about 44 cents and this will make a very profitable crop.

Democratic Paper Expresses View About “Fat” Distribution.

Winamac Democrat-Journal. But it is only the higher-up democrats, it appears, who are landing the fat offices—like the lieutenant guv, who, with his attendants, is said to be making a trip to California, in the interests of Indiana at the coming San Francisco exposition. And it is reported that this official list of prime favorites will be further augmented by the appointment of a “corn” boy from every county in this state. And all at the expense of the state of Indiana—thanks to the last office-creat-ing legislature.

Wheat Hits Dollar Mark; Oats Go Up to 45 Cents.

Wheat is worth a dollar a bushel on the local market today. It jumped from 97 cents yesterday to the one hundred in the morning quotation. The foreign war is responsible for the advance from 70 cents in the past month. Com, which was quoted 78 cents a ; few days ago, has fallen back to 75 cents. Oats continues to go up and today’s quotation on local market is 45 cents.

ABSENT WHEN NOMINATED; REFUSES TO MAKE RAGE

Democrat at Rockville Declined to , Have Trustee Nomination From .Bull Moose Party.

Rockville, Ind., Aug. 31.—Five Bull Moose agitators gathered in the back room of a local law office last week and after a short session announced that Robert Davidson, democratic trustee of Adams township, had been nominated by the progressives for trustee. Word to this effect was printed in every paper the/scheming politicians could impose upon. The Terre Haute Star and the Indianapolis Star said that Mr. Davidson was present and accepted the nomination. Mr. Davidson was not present and he did not accept the nomination. In a letter to the Parke county \Bull Moose chairman, Mr. Davidson said: “While appreciating the honor conferred upon me by your party in township convention on Thursday, Aug. 27th, by unanimously nominating me to make tile race for township trustee of Adams township, I feel it my duty as a democrat, to .decline this nomination. “I deplore very much the fact that such wide publicity has been given the matter by publication in the Terre Haute Star and Indianapolis Star of August 28th. The Star says that I made a short talk in the convention, when in reality I was not present at all, and did not know of the atetion of the convention until a number of your party who were present called upon me and informed me that I had been nominated.”

Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.

“My attention was first called to Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as 12 years ago. At that time I was seriously ill with summer complaint. One dose of this remedy checked the trouble,” writes Mrs. C. W. Florence, Rockfield, Ind. For sale by all dealers. C

Martinsville Trip Proved Enjoyable for Two Couples.

As happy as two honeymoon couples and delighted with their trip, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Waymire and Mr. and Mrs. Ick Yates returned Wednesday evening from their auto trip to and sojourn at Martinsville, Ind., where they stopped at the National hotel, the leading sanitarium. They were away ten days and the weather, the ‘" traveling conditions and all contributed to the delight of the trip. Returning they stopped over Tuesday night at Indianapolis.

As proof of the value of the sanitarium treatment, both Dan and Ick brought home pictures showing them to have become very portly during the week they stopped there. The pictures are, of course, taken to show the face and head of the subject mounted on a robust body and the cards read, “See what Martinsville has done for me.”

H. R. KURRIE HEADS MONON RAILROAD

Selection of Rensselaer Man For Important Office Gratifying to Fellow Townsmen.

Harry R. Kurrie has been clmsen president of the Monon railroad. The confirmation of the rumor of last week was made in the official announcement which Mr. Kurrie received this Thursday afternoon. The selection of Mr. Kurrie was made because the owners of the railroad realized that he was a thorough ’railroad man, equal to the task of continuing the progressive and fair policies established by Fairfax Harrison and Frederick C. Delano, the two men who have preceded him.

The former, Mr. Harrison, left the Monon tobecome the president of the entire Southern system, whili) Mr. Delano was but recently named by President Wilson to be a member of the federal reserve board. Mr. Kurrie, as general attorney for the Monon, has been closely associated with both of these men and hashad their fullest confidence and it is understood that his appointment came at their earnest request and that Mr. Kurrie had never made application for the position. Probably the most important act that brought Mr. Kurrie to the front with the Monon railroad was the purchase recently of the Gifford road by the Monon. Mr. Kurrie is said to have conceived this deal and to haye engineered it from start to finish. He was given local assistance by Attorney Moses Leopold, and it will not be a surprise if Mr. Leopold is later given employment in the legal department of the Monon.

Mr. Kurrie is 39 years of age, one of the youngest railroad presidents in the country. He has acquired his railroad knowledge within the past dozen years, during which time he has been with the Monon, first as assistant general solicitor and since Jan. 1, 1910, as general attorney. His services, however, have not been confined to the legal department of the railroad but he has gradually been developed into an all around railroad man, and his power has been felt and his opinions consulted in every matter affecting the business policy of the road. It is a natural consequence that he should at this time be chosen to the important position of the road’s president. H. R. Kurrie was born at Paoli. Ind., April 26, 1875. He resided there until he had completed the public schools anfi at the age of 17 he entered Indiana Universify, graduating from the law department three years later. He located in Rensselaer that fall, being employed in the law office of Thompson Bros. He was then only twenty years of age. In November, 1906, the firm of Thompson Bros, went out of existence, Simon P. Thompson being elected circuit judge. The firm that succeeded them was Foltz, Spitler & Kurrie, the junior member being H. R. Kurrie. He remained a member of this firm'until February of 1902 when he became the assistant general solicitor of the Monon. He has studied the railroad business from the top to the bottom and his qualifications well fit him for the important office he is now to fill. Mr. Kurrie has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Grace Thompson, oldest daughter of Judge and Mrs. Simon P. Thompson. Their marriage took place in 1907 and she died seven years later. In 1909 he married another daughter of Judge Thompson, Miss Edna. They have two children and reside in the old Thompson home on Work street at the foot of Front street. Mt. Kurrie is expected to come home this evening or Friday. The Republican has heard nothing but highly complimentary things said of Mt. Kurrie by Rensselaer people since is became known two weeks ago that he was likely to be the new Monon president, and our citizens feel that his selection is an honor in which the entire city shares.

Wm. Gause Shown Going to Medaryville Week After Next.

The Wm. Gause shows, the ones now exhibiting in Rensselaer, arc going to ‘ Medaryville week after next, the week beginning Sept. 14. A committee came over from that town Wednesday and secured a contract with Mr. Gause. The committee was composed of M. M. Ocker, Lee Baughman, Doe Dyer, Hank Ballard and Ralph Maubauer. Other citizens were here from Medaryville Wednesday and will be able to tell of the quality of the shows and concessions and Medaryville should have great crowds during its carnival week.

CROWDS DELIGHTED WITH GAUSE SHOWS

*• Motordrome, Ocean Wave, Ferris Wheel, Crazy House, and Other Attractions Are Here.

The Red Men seem to have made a big hit by bringing the Wm. Gause shows to Rensselaer to re* main all of this week, and the shows and concessions are of a higher class than have hitherto visited Rensselaer under the name of earnival and those who have been here during the first three days of the week pronounce the shows very worthy of patronage. The motordrome is attracting great crowds and the daring of the riders makes a show that no one should miss. The course Is not nearly so large as many in the pleasure parks, but the spectacle is even more remarkable on account of the smaller size of the speedway. The riders go around the course at a speed that is alarming and the crowds are almost awe-stricken as they watch the remarkable performance. The crazy-house is another attraction that is drawing large crowds and all speak well of it. The sensation is alarming, then funny, and all leave the little tent in a convulsion of laughter. The ferris wheel is well patronized and while not a new attraction there are many who had never ridden on one until the arrival of this one along with the carnival shows. It is of good height and runs smoothly and when lighted up at night makes a very nice appearance.

A new concession moved in Tuesday and opened up for the first time Wednesday evening. It is the ocean wave and the manner in which is was patronized indicates that it has a fascination that holds out as long as the money lasts. Capt. W. H. Stewart’s “Angola” is a study worth seeing. Angola is a 6-year-old gorilla, which Captain Stewart captured himself in Africa six years ago.) The animat is nearer the missing link that anything ever exhibited here and Captan Stewart has an interesting lecture he delivers, in which he declares the animal to be almost human and points out the similarity to the race of man. This should be seen by all. The seven-in-one is a miniature .museum, having snakes, real rattlers and several other kinds, also monkeys, rabbits and dogs all in one cage, and deformed babies and animals preserved in alcohol. The largest snake was killed by a boy’s kick Monday night. The snakes are in a canvas enclosure and a boy kicked at them in the comer, striking the largest snake on the head and killing it. The manager had paid SSO for the snake. The plantation show is the old fashioned kind, with singing negroes and is drawing very good crowds. The Superb a show is a sort of cabaret and contains no objectionable features. It has pleased many who have attended. The merry-go-round has been rather crowded to the back-ground by reason of the other attractions, but seems to be doing some business anyway. The athletic show is under the management of "Billy” Polos, the Greek wrestler who was here some years ago. He has a wrestling partner who looks to be equal to the Greek and they can doubtlesis give a fine exhibition. The wrestling game had a run here two or three years ago and since that time there has been no interest. The Greek also gives a boxing exhibition, at which game he-is quite proficient The paddle and refreshment stands seem to be enjoying a good business and everything points to a big afternoon and night today, Thursday, and immense crowds Friday and Saturday.

It is a bigger and better carnival than has hitherto visited Rensselaer and this fact is sure to bring many to Rensselaer for the closing days. M. Valle, director of the Italian band, gives concerts each afternoon and evening, which are delighting the large crowds, and many come from long distances to hear this large hand of 26 pieces.

Notice to High School Pupils. Rensselaer high school pupils, old or new, whose course this coining year will be irregular, or those who wish to talk matters over, must see Mr. Sharp at the high school Saturday, Sept. sth, between 1 and 3 p. m. Attend to this as there will be no time next Monday. - -1 -n - Cash Basis Adopted. I find it necessary to adopt a rigid cash basis for all mill pro* ducts, owing to the fact that I have to pay cash for all that I buy and collections have been slow. On and after Sept. Ist I will sell only for cash.—The Iroquois Roller Mills, Ralph Sprague, Proprietor. Try a Republican Claisifled ad
