John R. Gray received a postal card picture this morning from George F. Meyers, who is now at St. Petersburg, Fla. The picture shows a- monster flsh, apparently about 12 feet long, which has been hoisted in a tripod. . A crowd has assembled about Ash in order to get into the picture. Mr. Meyers tands off to one side and apparently William Bennett is near him. George marked a cross near his picture and on the reverse side of the card wrote: ‘*The cross marks the man who caught the flsh: some fisheman.” Mr. Gray is of the opinion that George really caught the fish, but he writer is rather of the opinion that he is just “stringing” us a little and that George just happened along when the fish’s picture was being “took.”

Our Basketball Boys Were Badly Beaten by Boswell.

The loctfl high school team met the fast Boswell quintet on the latter’s floor Friday night and were administered a decisive beating at the l ands of the Boswell crew. Al though the score was 52 to 19, thegame was not as one-sided as the score might indicate. The red and black warriors were in the game from the sound of the whistle and the game was fast and rough. The. Benton county lads had it on the locals in size. The locals claim that the Boswell team indulged in a gieat amount of unnecessary roughness. The lanky Boswell team shot baskets from every conceivable position and their favorite pastime was to scale the wall and drop the ball through. Boswell started early and ran up 25 points in the first haW while Rensselaer totaled 13. Rensselaer had possession of the ball most of the time but could not get it through the network of arms of the lanky Bentonites. Eigelsbach led in the scoring for Rensselaer with five field baskets. Capt. Babcock put up a great defensive game and Swaim proved a whirlwind on the floor. English and Hemhpill also did well, English caging 5 free throws. Boswell has played 16 games this season and has lost but three of them. Rensselaer meets Delphi at Delphi the coming week.

Tul Malone in Lafayette Hospital Critically Ill.

Tul Ala lone, for several years an employe of the city water and light lanpt, was operated on at a Lafayette hospitel Friday and his condition is so critical as to cause great alarm that he can not recover. He became Ml while working at the lighl plant Wednesday night but remained on duty until his time was up at 12 o’clock. Later in the night a physician was called and lie grew so much worse that he was taken to Lafayette and placed in a hospital Thursday night. An operation revealed that his appendix had ruptured and had set in and there was also some gallstone trouble. It is considered doubtful if he can recover He has a wile and three children and his wages have only sufficed to support him and it is understood friends have imt up the money for his operation and also to take Mrs. Malone to Lafayette to be with him.

Little Kraut Baby Given Home With Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Clark.

Mr. and Mrs. James Clark, *f Rensselaer, have taken the 7-month-old Kiput baby, whose mother was accidentally killed by a shotgun .c----cident recenlily, and will give it a good home. JPoseph Kosta, on whose Jarin the Krout .amily lived in a tent, informed The Republican about the fact that the father found it Impossible to care for the baby and at once there were a number of requests for it. (rood people desired to offer the little one the advantage, of a home where it could have advantages as it grew un Mr. and Mrs. Clark have no children of their own and the baby will be given every care aconsidenation it would have if they were its actual parents. Mr. Kosta called The Republican to tfiM us of the baby’s good fortune and also stated that it is probable that homes will have to be supplied for the other Krout children, whose ages range from 5 to 14 years.

Repairs Being Made to The City Water Plant.

The rusting out of the rizer pipe which conducts the water to the big tank at the water and light plant necessitated the installation of a new pipe and three workmen are here to install it. The new r pipe is said to be very superior to the one first installed. It is probable that the water will be furnished to all users by direct pressure for some four or five days while the repairs are being made.

Pays High Tribute to Comrade in Civil War.

George 0. Pumphrey, for many years a resident of this city, now living in Columbia City, has writ tea to The Republican the follow ing tribute of Larkin Potts, whose death occurred Thursday. We take great pleasure in printing the tribute of comradeship.' Mr. Potts was a man of very quiet demeanor and of excellent citizenship and Ih the unassuming life even those best acquainted often fail to recognize the quality of deeper worth. Mr. Pumphrey writes from knowledge gained during three years in the same regiment In the civil war. His letter follows: “’The Republican brings t<> me the very sad news of the death of my old comrade, Larkin Potts, and I truly feel a pang of deep sorrow at his response to the last roll call. I can not let his death pass without saying something of this exsoldier and citizen. While he did not assume to be a man of great position, I know his real worth, because of my camradeship with him during three years’ service in the 99th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. As sergeants in our respective companies we often marched side by side, just outside the ranks. We were close together during the marchings of some ten thousand miles, including the march to the sea with General Sherman. He was strictly honest and uncomplaining and through all the battles of the service I never heard a murmer nor saw hlim shirk a duty. He was an intelligent young man and knew the great issue for which we were contending and was ever leady when called upon to return his best service, some times taking charge of the picket line or engaging in other duty that meant lots of work and risk and required endurance. On the last march to the sea and then north by way of Richmond to Washington to march in review before one of the greatest generals the world ever knew he was so proud of the victory and the opportunity alorded to see some of the great men who had directed us and to visit the nation’s capital. He had worked with all of a young man’s vigor and intelligence for the preservation of the union and with the rest of us felt a great pride at the result. He had not talked much but had done his duty well and cheerfully, the highest mark of competence and loyalty of a soldier. He was brave to a certainty and in the thick of battle was cool and wore a smile upon his face. He and I had a feeling of comradeship cemented by those trying years that the average citizen can not understand and when I learned of his death it came as a shock to me and I was confronted with all that he had done for his country. He was a citizen as well fls a soldier, entirely- without display but a good, sound man. As one who knew his real worth it is with reluctance I bid him a last “good-bye.” GEORGE O. PUMPHREY, Serg. Co. E,- 99th Ind. Vol. Inf.

Inspected Street Flushing Wagons in Use in Chicago.

H. R. Wood, df the city council, and J. J. Montgomery, of the Retail Merchants’ Association, spent Friday in Chicago investigating the wagons which are used to flush the paved streets in the city. Those engaged in their use stated that they were the only thing and .would keep the paved streets entirely clean. The power for the flushing is air pressure, which does not have to be refilled after the first filling of the season. The representatives came home very enthusiastic about the outfit and will recommend its purchase to the city. The value of having the city fire team at or near the engine house was fully demonstrated Friday when prompt response saved the house of Leo Reeve from destruction. Had a delay of 10 or 15 minutes resulted as would have been the case if the team had been some distance from the engine house, it is probable that the. house and contents would have been destroyed, as it. was the loss was adjusted for SBS, of which S6O was for the house damage and $25 for the contents. It is probable that the flushing system can not be used off of the paved streets and business houses that are not on the brick streets will have to be provided for in some other manner if the flushing outfit is purchased. It is proposed to do this by oiling or providing other method of sprinkling. Dunlap & Crisler, who own the sprinkling outfit that has been used here for a number of years, believe they are deserving of some consideration. They had contracts for sprinkling last summer but the fact that Washington street was torn up for a long time while in the course of paving, almost put them out of business, although they faithfully operated on the other streets during the season. They believe it is hardly fair for the city to put them entirely out of business. Their claim is deserving of consideration by the council and the merchants..

It is a very sure thing that to give the brick streets a good appearance will require frequent cleaning and that the flushing system is the only one that seems adequate. It is also certain that as a protection against fire the fire team should be kept within easy reach of the engine house. It is also necessary that a systematic collection of garbage from the business district be provided and that there be some sure method of having rubbish and garbage collected from the residence district when persons desire it. The Republican has always believed that the best way to do all of these things is from the general treasury and by general taxation. Then each person pays a fair proportion of the cost. The city, however, has been hard hit by recent improvements and although taxes are high, not enough is provided to do everything just as we would desire and the plan hit upon by the" merchants seems liekly to solve the question for this year at least and possibly by another year the additional expense may be provided for in an adjustment of the tax rate.

Mercury Quietly Slipped Six Points Below Zero.

The weatherman did not deceive us this time. He prophesied Friday that the snow would be fot-' lowed by a cold wave that night and a fair cold day following. He was right in both instances. Something like 6 inches of light, flaky snow came during Fiiday and by evening the temperature began to fall and during the night reached 6 below zero. Today is a fair and beautiful winter day and the forecast is for fair and colder tonight.
