PRETZEL HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF DIXIE

Great Artery That Was Proposed Has Resolved Itself Into a Hither and Thither Route. The Rensselaer delegates to Chattanooga returned home Sunday. They brought disappointment with them, for the route they went to boost for the Dixie Highway was given a cold turn down and two other routes were chosen neither of which has the prospect of ever becoming the main traveled avenues between Chicago and the south. The convention at Chattanooga became a log-rolling affair and ther ewere all sorts of double crosses handed out. The air line delegates were lqd to believe up to the very last minute that they were going to get the highway and then along came the Illinois fellows with another proposition and this part of Indiana was turned down flat and cold. The Dixie Highway seems to have retrograded from a plan for a great north and south highway to two routes that start out of Chicago, travel away in different directions and converge down in Tennessee and that resemble a pretzel so much in construction that the disappointed delegates have selected the name of the “pretzel highway.” The delegates from along the air line route, however, came home determined to establish the route from Chicago to Indianapolis as they had proposed and to proceed with the development of the highway by grading the road, oiling it, painting telephone poles and planning for still greater improvement in the future. The Chicago Tribune of Sunday gave a picture of King’s officia lautomobile guide of Indiana and an article by L. M. Steffins routing persons to the races through Rensselaer. Every turn in the road is reported in the schedule from Jackson street and Michigan avenue, Chicago, to Indianapolis. The route in Rensselaer is to turn west at the north entrance of town and then turn south o Forest street and come across the railroad by the new depot and down Forest and Cullen streets to the Makeever hotel, thence .west. The routes established at Chattanooga are as follows: Western Route —From Chicago, Momence, Watseka, Hoopeston, Danville, (Illinois), Cnawfordsville, Lebanon, Indianapolis, Martinsville, Bloomington, Bedford, Orleans, New Albany, (Indiana), Louisville, Bowling Green, Russellville, (Kentucky), Nashville, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Rome, (Tennessee), Atlanta, Macon, (Georgia), Tallahassee, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Palm Beach and Miami, Florida. Eastern Route —Joining the western route at Indianapolis, Richmond, (Indiana), Dayton, Cincinnati, Ohio, Covington, Georgetown, Eevington, Cumberland, Ketucky, Koxville, Dayton, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Dalton, Calhoun, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Macon, Georgia. Eastern route from Macon to Jacksonville to be selected later. Elmer Gwin made a trip to Chicago today. Mrs. Willis Poole made a visit to Lafayette today.

Mrs. Grant Warner to Undergo Surgical Operation.

In the hope of saving the life of Mrs. Grant Warner, who has been in failing health fibm pernicious anemia for several months, a blood transfusion operation is to be performed at the Auguatana hospital in Chicago Tuesday mpming. Her son, > Rex Warner, is to give the blood. Sunday both Mrs. Warner and Rex went to Chicago, accompanied by Dr. Washbum, and a specimen of the blood of each was taken for analysis. It is necessary in cases of this kind to ascertain if the blood of one is compatible with the other. If this proves to be the operation will take place. A pint of blood will be drawn from Rex’s arm and then pumped into the arm of his mother. A week or so later another transfusion will be made and it is expected that the two will build the patient up to a point where the spleen can be removed by a very serious operation. This wi)l not be undertaken probably for three weeks. Dr. Norman Percy, the surgeon who is to perform the operations, has hitherto performed four of a similar nature and all are doing very well, two especially well, and this seems the only possibility of saving this splendid lady’s life. The many friends of the patient will hope that the result is her restoration to health. If you want a buggy or carriage, see Hamilton & Kellner. The commencement of the Monnett School for Girls will be held on the evening of June 15th, and Dr. Kirk Walto Robbins, of Lebanon, has been engaged to deliver the address.

WILLIAM TOWNSEND DIED OF INJURIES

Remington Believed Better, Suddenly Passed Away at Noon Sunday—Funeral Tuesday. / William Townsend, the Remington druggist, died at 12 o’clock Sunday noon at his home in that town. Death is believed due to apoplexy, which occurred either before a fall he sustained the Sunday before or which occurred as a sonsequence of his fall. Mr. Townsend’s building suffered - some damage' an the cyclone of the day -before and on Sunday morning he had gone to the second floor of the building and climbed a stepladder to examine the roof. He fell from the ladder to the floor, a distance of 12 or 14 feet. He suffered a fractured wrist, a cut on the back of the head, and severe bruises and for some time following his fall was unconscious. Last Monday he became better and apparently was getting along all right, although conscious only part of the time. The change for the worse came very suddenly and the announcement of his death was a great shock to all of his acquaintances. Mr. Townsend was about 60 years of age and had resided in Remington for about forty years. He was a good man and one of the foremost citizens of Remington. All of his old acquaintances who have moved away will regret to learn of his sudden death. He leaves a wife and two sons, Claude, the druggist at Remington, and Lowell, a music teacher in an Illinois college. The funeral will be held at Remington Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
