THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

Try 8 cans of those solid packed whole tomatoes for 25c, and you will buy more. JOHN EGER. Attorneys A- Halleck, J. A Dunlap and Delos Dean attended call day of the Newton circuit court at Kentland Tuesday. Our new stock of buggies has arrived. See them before you buy. HAMILTON & KELLNER Edward Ranton, Sr., has a quite bad case of pneumonia and is also suffering from chronic stomach trouble. Mrs. Ranton, who was also poorly for several days, is somewhat improved. Parisian Sage, an inexpensive but refreshing hair tonic, sold by B. F. Fendig, is just what you need to remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itch, and make the hair grow long, soft, fluffy and beautiful Harry Noble, of Lafayette, who was reported to have committed suicide Tuesday, did not make a success of it. Noble fired a bullet into his brain but was still alive this morning. Quite a number of Baptists from other points are today attending the meeting of the special council of the church in this city and among the visitors are Rev. and Mrs. O. E. Miller and baby, of Burnetts Creek, and Joe Minch, of Chalmers. The Keystone Bumper disc in sizes from six to ten foot, are sold by Hamilton & Kellner.

The weatherman is doing his part to make us enjoy life, by supplying some most delightful weather. Today is almost ideal with its bright sun and early spring air. The signs of spring are shown and it won’t be long until the plowing and planting season. Guess we’re all ready. Those market day ads are coming in and we will have a paper filled with the best advertising that has ever been done by Rensselaer merchants and they are going to back up their advertising with the kind of bargains and the kind of goods that will bring purchasers from many miles away. Thursday, March 18th, will sure be a big day for Rensselaer. Tom Callahan has arrived home from a four weeks’ stay in California and visit at the Panama-Pacific exposition. The reporter tried hard to catch up with him in order for an extended interview but Tom’s legs are longer than ours and after a block’s chase we gave it up. In a later issue, however, we hope to give his impressions of the big show at the Golden Gate. CASTOR IA Tor Infknta and Children. Tbi KM Yb Han Always Boagtrt Bears the Signature of

WHEATFIELD.

Kankakee Valley Review. John Biggs, A. L. Jensen and Prof. L. A. Sayers were business visitors at the great city on the lake last Saturday. Rosa Misch returned to Rensselaer Tuesday after a stay at home on account of the illness of her brother, Mike. Mrs. A. Moyer and Rosetta Remington left here Tuesday for Mazon, 111., where they will reside. Mr. Moyer will remain here a-few weeks. Simon Fendig returned home last Thursday from St. Elmo, 111., where he went for treatment with a specialist. He reports considerable improvement to his health. Samuel (Farmer) Hopkins, a former resident of this vicinity and now of North Manchester, Ind., was here last week visiting former acquaintances. Mrs. Press Baxter, of Bloomington, Ind., returned home Monday after several days’ visit here with her sister, Mrs. Joseph Hickam and family. Mrs. Hickam returned with her sister to Bloomington for a few days’ visit. A petition is being circulated for signers asking for a local option election to be held in Wheatfield township. This movement is to decide whether intoxicating liquors shall be sold as a beverage in the township. James Anderson will apply for a renewal of license at the June term of the Commissioners’ Court and the object of the petition for an election is for the people to vote on the subject prior to the time required to make application.

Mr. and Mrs. Herman Langdon and daughter returned home Wednesday evening from several weeks* visit with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Myers at Camp Myers, Florida. They report that Charlie and Belle are just in the midst of reaping a very profitable harvest of fruits and vegetables off their farm and best of all are enjoying the best .of health. Hermie says Charlie is more busy on his fruit farm than some Inidana folks that run a big ranch. Charlie goes with a big trailer full of fruit and vegetables every morning to Miami and other city markets drawn by His Lambert. Charlie says he likes Florida more and more each year. Hermie brought back a variety of the fnrits and vegetables that are grown at Camp" Myers and which are on display in one of the windows of the Myers Cash Store.

GUESTS OF HONOR WERE 108 YEARS OLD

Not Individually But Collectively— Delightful Dinner Served at Makeever Hotel. Mrs. E. D. Rhoades and John H. Holden were the guests of honor and the husband of the former and the wife of the latter were the host and hostess at a most delightful 7 o’clock dinner party given at the Makeever hotel Tuesday evening. The invitations read that the guests of honor were 108 years of age and the fortyfour guests were somewhat in the dark as to the meaning until they learned that the aggregate ages were 108 years. Just how this is divided is not generally known, whether Mrs. Rhoades and Mr. Holden are 54 years each or whether there is some disparity in their ages is not known, but each is old enough not to be very sensitive and young enough to have a splendid time and the party was one of the most pleasant qf the season. Mrs. Fate served it in a manner to win much praise and it is probable that hotel dinner parties will to some extent supplant the home dinner parties in the future. After the dinner was over all repaired to the Rhoades home on Front street, where the evening was spent playing six-handed seven-up, the women against the men. The women proved much the best players and some of the men seemed glued to their chairs. Even the adept E. P. Honon, won only one game during the evening. Some of the men pleaded that they did not understand it was progressive seven-up at all. The evening proved in keeping with the dinner and all had a charming evening and the past-century guests of honor shared in the departing compliments with the hostess and host. We have the largest and most complete lineof smoking and chewing tobacco in the city, and at prices that will save you money. JOHN EGER.

Miss Helen Leatherman has not been getting along very well for the past few days and Dr. Washburn, the attending physician, called an Indianapolis specialist who was here in another case Tuesday, into consultation. She has been suffering some from rheumatism and also from a scall abscess which had formed on the left side of the abdomen. This was reached through the incision made for the appendicitis operation and drainage was established and today she is somewhat easier again.

Fords On Long Haul in Alaska.

To demonstrate that the Ford car is a commercial factor in the trans-, portation of freight and passengers in the interior of Alaska, three Fort cars are operated by the Sheldon, Gibson & Ashton Stage Company on the passenger run from Fairbanks to Chitina, 320 miles away. The best time made on this trip was two and one-half days, and the average is from three and, one-half to six days, depending on the weather. When it rains in Alaska, the bottom falls out of what they call roads, and the automobile becomes a submarine.

The stage far§ by a Ford is SIOO per passenger, and forty pounds of baggage is allowed. The fare on the horse stag is $l3O for the same trip, but the expense enroute by horse stage will average $75 per trip for accommodations at the road houses as compared to an average of $25 road house cost when the trip is made by Ford. The saving in dollars and cents, therefore, is about SBO, and the saving in time about six to eight days. This is certainly a justification of the use of Fords for transportation even where conditions are so difficult. Accordnig to Dr. Leonard S. Sugden, of Los Angeles, Calif., who has recently returned from extensive travel through Alaska, in one camp a Ford special laundry car has taken the place of a team of dogs, composed of Scotch Collies, which hauled a box on runners in the .winter and on wheels in the summer. These dogs, were kept tied when not working, and they displayed great exuberance of spirit by galloping up and down the streets, making dashes to right or left, and relieving pedestrians young and old of chunks of their anatomy or clothing. The Ford, up to the time of his leaving, had not displayed any tendency toward carnivorousness. In fact, it was doing the work in a fraction of the time and in a decorous manner, and the driver did not have to cook any food for it, much to his relief. There are two more Ford cars used at this point, running as stages to mines in the vicinity and meeting with great success operating and also financially.
