Today is very raw and almost as penetrating as the real cold winter days. Furs and overcoats have been restored to use and furnace fires started., •«. - ?-***| '**’■

Most Important Events of the Day Briefed For Republican Reader*. Hiccoughs Cause Death. Hiccoughs caused the. death of Charles Jones, of Elgin, HL, Tuesday. After remaining conscious during more than five weeks of continuous hiccoughing, Jones became delirious and passed away.

Largest Wheat Field in Indiana.

Just west of Monon, on the Kelly ranch, are 700 acres of wheat, which is in flourishing condition and promises an abundant yield. This is no doubt the largest wheat field in the state. The Kelly ranch has the largest sheep~barn in America. M

Short Session Ended.

The general assembly of Connecticut ended Tuesday after the shortest session since the adoption of the constitutional amendment in 1884, providing for biennial sittings of the legislature. It also made the unique record of having disposed of every proposed measure put before it.

U. S. Senators Visit Indiana.

Senators Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma and W. S. Kenyon, of lowa, members of the commission appointed by the United States to investigate the foot and mouth disease in Indiana and southern Michigan, held conference in South Bend and Niles. The commission’s purpose is to appertain the source of the outbreak to prevent a similar ortte in the future.

Discover Plot to Poison Recorder.

A plot to poison Charles P. Surber, of Spencer county, is believed to have been revealed by the analysis in the state food and drug department of the contents of a bottle labeled as a “free sample,” of quinine, which Surber says was sent to ham a few days before the election last November. The bottle was found to contain a mixture of quinine and strychnine and there was enough of the poison present to cause death. The only possible motive is political jealousy.

Says U. S. Liberty is Delusion.

Clarence S. Darrow, who defended the McNamara brothers in the Los Angeles dynamiting case, discussed ipdustrial and social conditions in America recently before the industrial relations commission. Darrow told the commission that the day was soon coming when hospitals would be substituted for prisons, that punishment was barbarism, that bloodshed was essential to progress and always had been and that American liberty was theoretical delusion. The people of England, he declared, enjoyed more liberty than those of America.

Double Murder Mystery Solved.

Science proved the master hand in the solution of one of the most horrible crimes in the history of Chicago. By means of a single finger print taken from the handle of a blood stained hammer, the police trapped Russell Pethwick, a grocery delivery boy, into confessing the slaying of Mrs. Ella Coppersmith and her two-year-old son, Jack, at their flat on May 6th. Pethwick said that he had quarreled with the wdman over a grocery bill and said that she had attacked him and he took her own hammer and knife and killed her.

Student’s $25,000 Suit on Trial.

The $25,000 slander suit of Miss Mildred Everest, a former student in the Michigan state normal college at Ypsilanti against President McKenny, of that institution, is being held in the circut court at Ann Arbor. President McKenny denies that he said that Miss Everest was crazy. He admits that he advised her to withdraw from the college, believing'her temperamentally disqualified for teaching, and in an abnormal frame of mind. He alleges that reports came to him of improper language being frequently used by Miss Everest.

Still Trying to Get Out.

Strong representations are being made to the department of justice in support of clemency for two of the convicted Terre Haute men. The two men whose friends are making a special appeal in their behalf are John Masselink, city sealer of weights and measures, and Maurice Walsh, county sealer. In behalf of Masselink it is said that he does not belong to the gang of thugs that had terrorized Terer Haute and it is represented that Walsh did not enter into any of the crooked work of the gang and that he was simply drafted by Roberts to fill the place of the treasurer of the democratic committee, who realized that they needed a respectable man in that position. The federal board of control met at Leavenworth Wednesday.

The current issue of The Democrat looks like an anti-progress shrfet and we believe it should be adopted as the official mouthpiece for the kickers of the world. It resembles a newspaper about as much as its disgruntled editor resembles a postmaster, and that’s

That's Right, Charley Parks Did Not Sign It.

The Democrat is enjoying a discovery. Charley Parks, assessor of Newton township, who is. a progressive man and consequently in favor of anything that will promote the welfare of Newton township and the city of Renssealer, recently called at The Republican office and asked that an article contradicting misrepresentations in The Democrat be written and his name signed to it. The Republican did as Mr. Parkis requested and was very careful to embody into the article exactly what Mr. Parks stated. To be exact, Mr. Parks did not write it and did not sign it, but he has been a reader of The Republican and a friend of its editor for a number of years and he will doubtless inform the excited editor of The Democrat that the article he authorized contained what he authorized and that it expressed a truth he found to exist in Newton township. If the Sherlock Holmes on The Democrat could now discover a remedy for the grouch the editor wears it would deserve something better than the ignominy the public so unanimously grants it.

SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR

It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to Restore \ Color, Gloss and Thickness. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. ~ Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful. dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture by asking at any drug store Tor a 50-cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is that ,besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
