Fred Hamilton Has Appendicitis In Fargo, N. Dak., Hospital.

L. H. Hamilton received a telegram this morning from the hospital at Fargo, N. Dak., informing him that his son, Fred, had appendicitis and asking him to come at once. Mr. Hamilton left for there this afternoon at 3:12 o’clock. Fred has been a student all year at the Fargo Agricultural College. He has been working as a newspaper reporter out of school hours and also training for the track team.

Fred’s many friends here will join The Republican in hoping that his case does not prove a serious one and that he will make speedy recovery.

Joe Trapp Gets Off With &500 Fine For Knife Attack.

Joe Trapp, of Winamac, who some time ago assaulted and severely beat up Chauncy Felker, was fined SSOO in the Pulaski court. Trapp had skipped out after his assault on Felker and finally was arrested at Kentland. Trapp had a step-daughter named June Moody. Felker took her home from a moving picture show one evening last November and Trapp instituted a performance that the “movies” would have paid well for if they could have it. Trapp did not know Felker before the night of the assault. Trapp testified at his trial that he was intoxicated at the time of the assault, having drank from 6 to 12 bottles of beer during the day and had drank a pint of whiskey in the evening and then helped put away another pint. Trapp is a brother of Mrs. Charles Zellers and went to their home after the assault and slept on the floor that night. The next day he spent at the home of Noah Speece, who had helped him drink a pint of whiskey the evening before. He then went to Chicago. Felker was terribly slashed with a knife by Trapp, and scars on his cheek and neck will be permanent and are very noticeable. got off very easy.

Vehicle Drivers Should Be Careful at Crossings.

A man driving a white pony to a rig came near being hit by northbound passenger train No. 32, due here at 10:36, this Friday morning. James Jordan, the crossing watchman at Forest street, waved his flag desperately at the man but he kept right on coming until only a few feet away from the track. The train would have hit his rig squarely had he come 20 feet further. He took the warning finally and as the train rushed by the frightened pony jumped to one side and almost upset the rig, breaking the harness slightly. Mr. Jordan says that it is with the greatest difficulty that he can induce some persons to stop before crossing the tracks and that despite his warnings some insist on trying to cross in front of trains. The track to the east of Forest street is' generally concealed from view, especially to persons coming from the north, and all should not only stop when warned by the watchman but should exercise every precaution besides.

Rumor of Embezzlement at Purdue Being Investigated.

Sensational rumors are afloat in Purdue circles, and it is said that a shortage has been discovered in the accounts of certain individuals connected with the creamery department. Supt. Stone would neTOier confirm nor deny the rumor. The version of the affair, which is rife in certain quarters, is to the effect that, the shortage came about through the sale of dairy products ana the amount involved is stated to be anywhere from a few hundred to five thousand dollars. In an interview over the long distance telephone Governor Ralston said that the matter had not been reported to him. “If any reports had been maed to any of the departments, I would undoubtedly have been informed of it,” said the governor. “I shall investigate the matter at once,” said M.r Ralston, “and I should be very sorry, indeed, if the rumors prove to be true.”

RHEUMATISM IN JOINTS

Pain Disappears and Swelling Vanishes In a Few Days. That is what happens if you use Rheuma, the wonderful remedy that B. F. Fendig and all druggists sell on the “money back if not cured” plan. There is a vast amount of rheumatism in this vicniity, and if you know any sufferer, call his attention to this generous offer. Rheuma is a quick-acting prescription. You will know your rheumatism is leaving 24 hours after you take the first dose. It dissolves the uric acid and drives it from its lodging place. Mrs. Alice A. Brown, Ithaca, N. Y., writes - “For seven years I suffered greatly with rheumatism in my hip. At night I was scarcely able to sleep. One bottle of Rheuma cured me.” That sounds miraculous, but Rheuma does miraculous things. Fifty cents a bottle.
