Want Boosters to Go to Lafayette to. Attend Meeting.

The latest plan for boosting the Dixie Highway is to have a number of auto loads go to Lafayette to attend a meeting Friday afternoon at 1 o’clock. Mayor Sjntler, a member of the Jasper county committee, says that it is not necessary to go in order to add to the enthusiasm of the Lafayette people, for they are already full to overflowing, but it is desired to get our own people enthusiastic and this will follow a visit to Lafayette.

County Commissioner H. W. Marble from Wheatfield, Commissioner D. S. Makeever will drive down and take with him Commissioner Welch and others. Delos Thompson will drive has car down, taking some of the boasters with him. Mr. Thompson's familiarity with the roads and with road construction makes him a valuable man in connection with our effort to procure the highway and he is being urged to attend ttye meeting at Chattanooga Thursday of next week.

The meeting planned for Friday afternoon in Rensselaer to select two delegates to go to Chattanooga has been postponed until Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock owing to the fact that it conflicted with the Lafayette meeting. It is hoped to have a good sized crowd at the meeting Monday and that two good men be chosen to make the trip to Chattanooga.

Operation Found Necessary On Little Son of Greely Comer.

Greely Comer came from Lafayette this Thursday morning. He had been at the bedside of his little son, Cecil, since the child was taken to St. Elizabeth’s hospital last Sunday, following its injury from a kick from a horse. The child is still in a very serious condition and Wednesday an operation was performed and the skull, which was touching the brain, was raised. The child did not regain consciousness as seemed probable when Dr. Gwin left there Monday morning and is still in a semi-conscious condition, a slight movement of the eyes occasionally being the only sign of 'life aside from the pulse and the breathing. The child was two years old last September. Mrs. Comer remained at the hospital with it and will keep her hiisband informed about its condition.

Mrs. Josephine Kupke Returned From the Hospital.

James Kupke, of Newland, went to Lafayette this Thursday morning to get her mother, Mbs. Josephine Kupke, who was operated on for tumor ten weeks ago at the hospital. She is getting very much better and is expected to entirely recover from her former bad health.

SPARKS’ CIRCUS HERE FOR TWO PERFORMANCES

Parade This Morning Was a Veritable Riot of Color and Fiiie Trappings. Spring is here. There is no doubt about it. We are never sure that we are safe to put on our knee length B. V. D.’s until the baloon man, the noise of the squawker, the scream of the caliope and the shouts of the leather lunged speiler are heard once more in our midst. But today we have them all and the circus besides and we were among the many others whp took a ride out to the circus grounds with the kids of course, and the good wife too, and once more saw a performance that was about as good as anyone could expect to witness under a circus tent.

The Sparks show is no stranger here and has given us some clever performances in the past. This year the program is all new and contains many features are not only new but above the average in merit. A visit to the circus grounds reveals the fact that 'the show is comparatively all new this season. The tents, wagons and everything about the grounds, bespeak lavish expenditure and it is very evident that the proprietor, the genial Charles Sparks, is, to say the least, an optimist. The war scare or the conditions said to exist about the country did not prevent ham this season from sparing no expense to make the tour a memorable one in the history of the show and he is from all appearances prepared to give the crowd he looks to patronize his exhibition, the full worth of their money. The parade this morning was a veritable riot of color with some of the finest horses, the most beautiful tableaux wagons and trappings ever seen here with any hsow. In one respect the show this season has wan the thanks of a long suffering public. There was no ear splitting steam piano. In its place was a caliope using compressed air and the music ground out by the operator was real music, not unlike that of a mammoth pipe organ. It was really a pleasure to listen to it.

The attendajnce at the afternoon show was good and the performance pleased everyone. Captain Tiebor’s trained seals were the feature and they gave a wonderful act juggling jails and batons of fire, walking up and down ladders and balancing different objects on their noses to the delight of everyone. The Orton family presented a thrilling wire walking act and the McLain’s were clever performers on the trapeze. The two herds of elephants, one of them worked by a lady, went through their stunts in a clever manner and succeeded in playing musical instruments and talking through a telephone in a way that surprised everyone. There was some goodjriding by the Guices and Flora Bednii, and the Reynards rode bicycles and’ single wheels with an abandon that was startling. The clowns were there with a lot of new foolery and all of the acts were above (the average. The pony on the revolving tank was a great closing feature and was greeted with shouts of delight. In the after show Herr Fritz Brunner presented a positive thriller with his sou rlions working in a large steel arena. He concluded his wonderful performance by having the lions sit around a table while he fed them raw meat from his hare hands. As is always the case with the Sparks show there was not a semblance of trouble, the officials were all courteous and the Show is one that appeals to every lover of high class, clean amusement. Tonight doubtless another large audience will be present for the show is in every way worth seeing.

In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Julia Randle, who departed this life May 14, 1910: In the light of God I see you Each night as I lay me down, I hear your voice as when on earth, And see each smile and frown. And when I’m called to join you, This world and I are through, I pray the Lord to let me go As peaceful and brave as you. —Her children, W. F. Enslen, Mrs. Anna Warner, Mrs. Mae Fisher,. Mrs. Mattie Stoner. —Advertisement.

FIRM DEMAND MADE OF GERMAN EMPIRE

Kaiser Informed That U. S. Will Leave Nothing Undone to Obtain Compliance of Demands.

The United States, following a conference of President Wilson with has cabinet, decided on its policy in relation to the German government and a note sent to Berlin demands a guarantee that no further attacks shall be made by submarines on merchant vessels carrying non-combatants. Notice is also served that full reparation will be sought for the loss of all Americans who went down with the Lusitania and for other violations of American rights in the sea zones of war.

The United States does not suggest what means would be taken to enforce the demands should Germany refuse to comply, but the German government is informed that the United States will leave nothing undone either in diplomatic representation or other action to obtain compliance with the requests. The German embassy has canceled all newspaper advertising warning persons against taking passage on trans-Atlantic vessels. No reason is given for this action. While the message seems to lack nothing in firmness it carries with it an assurance that the United States does not want war and will avoid it if possible to do so without sacrificing any of its rights. While financial reparation is demanded for lives lost, it is plainly declared that lives' wall not hereafter be considered on a money basis.

St. Joe Downs Rensselaer In Farce Game 16 to 8.

St. Joe and Rensselaer high school staged what was supposed to be a ball game Wednesday afternoon at Riverside park, but it was one of the poorest excuses for a ball game that we ever saw. The score, oh yes, 16 to 8. St. Joe had the 16. A deluge of base hats, as many errors, much ragging with the umpires, all helped to prolong the game and the last was not retired until 6 o’clock. Healey was on the hill for Rensselaer and Schall on the slab for St. Joe. Each a severe pommeling at the hands of the greedy stickers. Renaselaer jumped into the lead in their half of the first by chasing a brace of markers across the rubber. St. Joe tied it up quickly. Rensselaer sent three more men over the platter in their four th and held the lead until the fifth, when ,St. Joe got in front with four runs. At the end of the sixth the score was tied at seven all. St. Joe clubbers got busy in the seventh and after the round was over had more runs to their credit. Healy weakened in the eighth and ninth and St Joe added 5 more to their total. Babcock scored for the home gang in the eighth, when he hit, stole second and third and came hcftne on an infield out.

In the future it would probably be better for a neutral umpire to officiate in the, games between St. Ooe and Rensselar and do away with the squabbling that the teams from these two schools generally engage t in when they meet

Subsidy Failed in One Township in White County.

The interurban subsidy, reported by The Lafayette Journal to have carried in all three townships in White county, failed in one of the three. West Point township voted by a majority of 4 against the subsidy. Evidently there are a few of the Erhart Wuerthner type living in West Point. Wolcott gave a substantial majority in favor of the subsidy. It will be a great convenience to have Wolcott on the road and we only wish that Remington also was on it, but the engineers found that some four miles could he saved by coming direct to this city from Wolcott.

GO NO FARTHER

The Evidence it At Your Door.

Rensselaer proof is what you want and the statement of this highly respected resident will banish all doubt. Charles Malchow, Harvey St., Rensselaer, says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The pain from my back extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Fendig’s Drug Store and after aking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the medicine I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then, when having similar attacks and I have never failed to get relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Malchow had. Foster-Milhum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
