Former Jasper County Girl Married in North Dakota.

At the home at 5 o’clock May 9, took place the marriage of Ethel Elizabeth Holmes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Holmes, of Rensselaer, Ind., to Fred C. Schultze, son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Schultze, prominent residents of New Salem, N. Dak., the wedding taking place at the home of the groom’s sister, Mrs. Albert Toppins. Rev. Fontana officiated. The bride was beautifully gowned in white silk crepe de meteor, wore a veil and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Miss Lorena Ludiger, of Fall Creek, Wis., was maid of honor, and wore a dress of pale blue silk crepe de chene and carried an arm bouquet of carnations. The groom was attended by Mr. Fred Mann, of New Salem. The ceremony was followed by a 6 o’clock wedding dinner, covers being laid for fourteen. Miss Holmes is a popular young lady of New Salem, where she has been working the past few years with the Nor£h Dakota Independent Telephone Company as managing operator. Mr. and Mrs. Schultze left on the evening train for their future home at Fallon, Mont.,' where he is the owner of the Fallon Auto Co., of that place.—Contributed. Don Hoover, son of ex-sheriff W. I. Hoover, withstood his operation for glandular trouble of the neck very nicely at the hospital and indications are favorable for his entire recovery from the conditions produced by the trouble. Don is experiencing only one trouble now and that is getting the nurses in»the hospital to give him enough to eat. His idea of what he wants and theirs of what he should have fail to agree. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Morrissey and baby returned yesterday from their visit to his old home in Allegany, N. Y. Ross Huff ord, who substituted for Dan at the depot, returned to his home in Rossville today. Ross is not feeling very well and has a run down appearance like a fellow in the last stages of an unrequited love, but he assures us that it is nothing of that kind and is inclined to believe that a hook worm is a more plausible theory.

GERMANY TO SPURN AMERICAN DEMAND

Ambassador Gerard Told Reparation Will Be Refused in Lusitania and Falaba Cases. The first positive and direct news received by Secretary Bryan from Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, came Tuesday night. The German minister of foreign affairs, Herr von Jagow, stated emphatically that his government will not comply with the American demands relating to the Lusitania and Falaba. Officials at the state department in Washington refuse to ‘make public the full text of the communication for Mr. Gerard. Correspondents for the large newspapers, however, have the statement that the cablegram indicates that Germany will come fdr from compliance with the demands of the United States as contained in the note of President Wilson. The Italian situation will probably have some bearing on the discussion between this country and Germany. It is believed that at the time Herr von Jajow talked with Ambassador Gerard there was probability that the Italians would not enter the conflict. Now, however, Italy is again clamoring for entrance into the war against Austria and Germany and this may have the effect of causing Germany to take a second thought. The nation is awaiting with intense interest the reply to the note of Presiednt Wilson and all are hoping that there will be nothing in the reply of Germany that will justify this nation in considering war.

A Correction.

Mr. Editor: Please correct a mistake that was in Tuesday’s paper about Mrs. Warner Hough on the Everett Brown farm having a fractured jaw, for that is a mistake. The' doctor did not set any bone for her at all. The trouble was only a bad tooth.—A Relative.

SCALLON DEAD FROM BULLET WOUND

Delphi Officer Never Regained Consciousness—One of Gang in Rensselaer Monday Night. August Scallon, who was shot early Sunday morning by one of the Lafayette thugs, died at his home Tuesday morning at 6:15 o’clock. He never regained consciousness from the time he was found mortally wounded in the street, and who it was flrpd the shot is not positively. known to the officers. When the local police were furnished with the details of the tragedy Sunday morning the police of Lafayette started an investigation and as a result the evidence points strongly to Charles as the man who fired the fatal shot. The officers learned that on Saturday night at Lafayette Charles Lawson entered a pawnshop on Main street and purchased a box of cartridges. After taking some of them from the box he handed the remainder to Charles Friend. It is believed that at was these cartridges that Friend threw under the pile of ties at Delphi Sunday afternoon. Chari® Lawson, who is still at large, is a brother of Oscar Lawson, who is now being held in a Delphi jail. The record of the Lawson brothers in Lafayette is bad and they were convicted of a series of safe robberies in that city in 1908. Charles Lawson was sentenced from ten to twenty years in prison and Oscar was sent to the reform school at Plainfield. Both were released on good behavior. It is the opinion of the police that Lawson will commit suicide before he will allow himself to be taken by the police. Charles Lawson’s picture appears in the Lafayette rogue’s gallery. Vance Lawton, the other member of the gang, is still missing and is not very well known in police circles. After escaping from Delphi Lawton is alleged to have been seen in Monticello and other places. Louis Wendling, who has been released on bond, regrets very much that he was a member of the gang. He was exhonerated from any connection with the tragedy by the testimony of Leo Delaney, the deputy who assisted in taking the gang to the Wabash depot. Charles Friend, a brother of Jack, who was released on bond, was seen in Rensselaer Monday night by Ham Burch, who became acquainted with him in Lafayette. He wore a raincoat and cap and is about 35 years old and 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Charley Friend is the man to whom the remainder of the box of cartridges was given by Charles Lawson before the shooting occurred.

Ambrose Yorkey, Once a Resident Here, Under Arrest.

A number of readers of The Republican will remember Ambrose Yorkey, who was a baker here a number of years ago. The Michigan City News of Monday contained the following articel about him: “Ambrose Yorkey was arrested this morning charged, with running an assignation house in the Easton hotel. Through C. R. Collins he waived arraignment, pleaded not guilty and tasked for a continuance until Tuesday morning.” Leave your orders for strawberries, fresh every day. HOME GROCERY.

GLENN WISHARD NOW WITH FRENCH TROOPS

Former Rensselaer Boy Who Has Been in India Sent to Marseilles To Do Y. M. C. A. Work. % Rev. Glenn Wishard, son of Mrs. Jennie Wishard, of this city and who spent all of his life here prior to entering college, is now doing Y. M. C. A work with French soldiers near the city of Marseilles. In a letter written from India on April sth he told of his detail there for six months and he sailed from Colombo on April 28th and two weeks later was to reach Marseilles. Mrs. Wishard and their 9-month-old baby girl, Audrey, are spending the period of his absence in the mountains of India, near Landour, Mussoorie. Mrs. Wishard, in order to be alone with her little daughter, had discharged the Ayah, as the nurse servants are called, and his letter says that it is rather an unusual thing for European women to raise children without keeping an Ayah. Glenn is unable to tell much anout his work with the troops, but expected to be mainly with the Indian soldiers. He says that it was only the opportunity for doing a great service that prompted him to be away from his wife and baby for six months. He expressed some doubt as to his ability to tell much about his work even after he reached the French camps, owing to a rigid censorship over all that is written. He is not certain that his service will end ■ at the expiration of six months, but if jt does not then he plans to have his wife and baby join him 7 at Marseilles. He says that the work will probably continue even after the close of the war and remarks, “and no one knows when that will be.” He continues as follows: “One more thing, I should emphasize the fact that I shall be in tno dangler whatever. There is not the slightest chance of my getting anywhere near the line of battle. Our work will be in the base supply camps, miles and miles away from the fighting. I shall be safer there than in India, for I shall escape the hot weather and rains which are so hard on me. “The only objection I see, and that is a serious one, is that of being separated from Susie and baby. If I had stayed here I should have been separated from them for 4% months out of the six, but still I would have been able to go to them quickly if there had been need. Everything considered, it seems the path of duty and we shall trust that all works out well.

AIR LINE ROUTE TO BE GIVEN APPROVAL

Chicago Tribune to Recommend Tourists Going to Races to Pass Over Rensselaer Route. An article will appear in next Sunday’s Chicagb Tribune recommending tourists to the Indianapolis races to go over the Hammond, Crown Point, Rensselaer, Lafayette, Frankfort and Lebanon route. L. M. Steffin, automobile editor of The Tribune, has promised to do all in his power to route the race visitors over the Air Line route and after going over the route himself last Sunday he decided that there was only one way to go that that was over this route. The Tribune is to boost for this route and next Sunday’s paper wfll contain considerable advice to those going to Indianapolis.

I shall leave here next Monday evening (April 11th) and spend five days in Jubbulpore, arranging for work there and then start for Colombo. I suppose I shall find it hot until I reach Port Said. The trip on the Mediterranean ought .to be very pleasant. Dr. and Mrs. Brown, of Jubbulpore, are going to stay with Susie from May 15th to the Ist of July. After that she may be'with other friends, so she is not likely to be deserted entirely. “It is plenty cool here in the hills and I am enjoying the freedom from mosquitoes and heat. You might write me in care of the Y. M. C. A., Marseilles, France. Please send this letter to Melville, Ernest and Will.”
