Immodest Bathers to Be Deprived of Bathing Privilege.

Boys who have been swimming along the river bank ait the south side of town are said to have been guilty of some grave immodesty and their conduct if continued will result in a positive order preventing them from bathing any place within or near the corporation. Young men are said to have run up and down the bank entirely naked and in sight of the houses on both sides of the river. The piles of stone that formerly concealed them from view have been removed and complaint has properly been made to the authorities. The indecent conduct subjects those guilty to arrest and punishment, but a warning is first given in order that the boys responsible may realize the gravity of their conduct. There is nothing more enjoyable for 'boys and young men than swimming and it deserves an important purpose in cleanliness and physical development, but manly boys should free it from immodesty and vulgar conversation. It should be a very proper thing if a bath house could be built where clothes could be hung and bathing suits put on. Then some provision should be made to establish a zone for the bathing. It is hoped that no action will become necessary that will compel the boys to go long distances to bathe. The effect is to prevent many from going at all and the others get so hot and sweaty returning that the exhiliarating effects of the bathing are destroyed. Let’s appeal to the 'better side of the young men and give them a thance to be manly and respectable.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS OR BLADDER BOTHER

Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids. Kidney and bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation „ and is very profuse. Again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoyiiig and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithta-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.

NEGRO GIRL ON NO. 37 TRiED TO DISROBE

Apparently Doped She Tore Clothing Off and Caused Consternation Among Passengers. A negro girl, said to be 16 or 17 years of age, created consternation on passenger train No. 37, due here from Chicago at 11:20 today, when she began to tear her clothing off. She was in a seat near the rear of the day coach in which there were several passengers, both ladies and gentlemen. She boarded the train in Chicago and had a ticket for Indianapolis. She began singing soon after the train left Hammond and her tones were neither musical nor refined. When the train was near Shelby she changed her singing to shouting and then began tearig at her clothes. She took off her waist and skirt and when the trainmen were secured and forced her to stop she was almost altogether naked. She was wrapped in her clothes and taken to a rear coach and a guard placed over her. While her singing indicated that she was intoxicated, a passenger who left the train here said that he was quite close to her and there was no indication of liquor on her breath and he believed she was “doped.” Whether drunk, doped or dippy, she caused plenty of excitement and furiished a diversion that was mortify-" ing to passengers ahd train crew. She had quieted down when the train reached this city and was permitted to remain on the train.

Monticello Citizens Add Their Praise. Another link with our neighboring town of Monticello is provided in the following grateful and generous statement of a well-known resident there, Mr. Thomas, H. Graves, Railroad St., who says: “I had a severe attack of lumbago and my back became so stiff and sore that I could not stoop. I had a dull, throbbing ache through my kidneys and loins and a distressing kidney weakness. I doctored and used medicine of various kinds, but nothing helped me until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills.

J. F. BRUNER SELLS TELEPHONE INTERESTS

Oldest Man in the Field Sells Country Lines to Stockholders in Jasper County Company. J. F. Bruner, the oldest owner of a telephone line operating out of this city, has closed a deal for the sale of his lines and the good will of the business to leading stockholders in the Jasper County Telephone Co. Mr. Bruner’s lines extended to the north and northeast ad at the time the sale was made had 291 phones in operation. Prior to the settlement of the rivalry that existed between telephone companies some eleven years ago the Bruner company which had succeeded the Halleck company operated a separate exchange in Rensselaer. A contract was made, however, with the old Jasper County Telephone Co., about eleven years ago, that brought about a settlement of the differences. The Jasper County Company secured the entire city rights and Mr. Bruner and Dr. Merry, of Mt. Ayr, retained certain line and territory. Dr. Merry later took over the Mt. Ayr exchange and Mr. Bruner the country lines in some parts of this county. The contract gave them central service through the exchange of the Jasper County Co. for some twenty years. The rate was regarded low and unprofitable for the Jasper County Co. The contract at this time had about nine years yet to run. When the new company purchased the interest of Delos Thompson and others the managers found it desirable to own the entire system and the negotiations which are just concluded have been going on for some time. There was a disagreement in the price and finally it was submitted to a board of arbitrators, namely, the managers respectively of the Goodland, Morocco and Fowler exchanges. They spent last Thursday in going over the Bruner holdings and Friday in making an estimate of the valuation. Their figures were received Saturday and were made the basis of the settlement. The Republican is informed that Mr. Bruner was paid something like SIO,OOO for his lines. While the purchase was made only by part of the stockholders of the Jasper County Telephone Co., it is expected that eventually the company will take over the new purchase. Mr. Bruner, it is understood, is negotiating for another system and may purchase the lines at Wheatfield and DeMotte. He is an able telephone man and should make a success of any system.. He bought the Mt. Ayr exchange of Dr. Merry some time ago and it is now being operated by Earl Bruner. The Jasper County Co., under the new management, continues to make improvemets and extensions and at this time are installing a new line east of Parr that will have 12 subscribers. Another line running west from Roselawn has a dozen and telephones are being added on other lines.

GET RID OF RHEUMATISM

An Easy Matter With Rheuma, the Marvelous Remedy for the Disease. Drive out the uric acid from the joints. Get every particle of this poisonous matter out of your system, and keep it out. You can do it with Rheuma, a scientific prescription that acts at once on kidneys, stomach, liver and blood, disolves the uric acid and causes rheumatic agony to vanish. Read this proof: “After treatment by three doctors, without result, I have been cured of a very bad case of rheumatism by using two bottles of Rheuma. It is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am still as well as ever. Previously I was a cripple, walking with crutches.”— Judge John Barhorst, Fort Loramie, Ohio. B. F. Fendig thinks well enough of Rheuma to offer it on the “no-cure, no-pay” pain at 60 cents.

BATHING NOTICE. The indecencies practiced by bathers along the river must stop. Any recurrence will result in arrests and the cancellation of all bathing privileges along the river. / The bathers must keep out of sight from residences and roadways.—By order pf Frank Critter, Nightwatch.

GIFFORD WILL CASE WAS COMPROMISED

Defendants Pay Regina Burris Kupke $3,500 and She Will Later Get Bequest of $5,000. John A. Dunlap, E. B. Sellers and their associate attorneys for Regina Burris (now Kupke) met today, Tuesday, with George H. Gifford, executor of the will of the late Benjamin J. Gifford, and effected a compromise f the suit to break the will. The action was brought on the claim that Regina Burris was the illegitimate daughter of B. J. Gifford. He had recognized her in his last will by leaving her $5,000. When preparation was made to contest the will on her behalf Dr. A. R. Kresler was appointed her guardian and the suit was brought by John A. Dunlap, who secured the services of E. B. Seilers, of Monticello, to help contest the case. There were two or three delays in this county and the case was then sent to Newton county on change of venue. It was set for trial last week but the defendants took another change and the case was set to Fowler for trial. It would have come up next fall. The negotiations for the compromise were started and came to a conclusion today when it was agreed to pay the plaintiff $3,500. This will not affect her bequest of $5,000, which will be paid later when the estate is. settled. The defendants and the attorneys for the plaintiff realized that the setting aside of the last will which gave Regina Burris $5,000 would substitute the former will which did not leave her anything, but it was the last will that named George H. Gifford as executor, left him a bequest and also provided that he should have all the residuary of the estate after the other provisions were carried out. The settlement of the suit will make it possible now to go ahead with the sale of the land, which was halted by the suit.

Foreigners Who Bought Springer Land Are In Bad.

The Republican is informed that many of the foreigners who wer6 located on the Springer ranch this spring are not practical truck farmers and that there is small chance of them succeeding along the lines pursued. They have found it difficult to care for their onions during the very wet weather and the crops of several are almost rained. They are badly discouraged and some who had put up quite a little money have pulled out, losing what' they had paid. The prices paid for the land were too high, considering the unimproved condition it is in and there are farms just as good or eve better right in the neighborhood that can be purchased for half the money or less. The sale methods are being attacked, it being said that untruthful stories were told the buyers about the possibilities of the land.

MARION TOWNSHIP TO VOTE ON SUBSIDY

Petition Signed by 86 Resident Freeholders Filed and Commissionefw Set July 14th as Date of Election. BABCOCK FILES OBJECTION. Bases It Upon Fact That Other Election Was Within Limit Set By Law, Notwithstanding the Fact That the Charter of the Other Company Was Annulled—Promoter Brown Makes Statement—Profile of Road Filed Last Saturday—Action Taken in White County Also. Attorneys John A. Dunlap and William H. Parkinson, on behalf of O. L. Brown, promoter of the Lafayette A Northwestern Railroad Co., filed a petition signed by 86 resident freeholders with the county commissioners today, asking that a subsidy election ibe called in Marion township to vote a tax of 2 per cent in favor of the proposed railroad. The commissioners set the date for holding the election on Wednesday, July 14th. Editor Frank E. Babcock, through his attorney, filed an objection, based upon the contention that an election could not legally be held in this township, as another election had voted a subsidy in favor of the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. within the time that would bar another election. Since that time, however, and with a view to asking this subsidy, the other election was nullified by the annulling of the charter of the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. The Republican as heretofore will support the proposition of the subsidy and the 86 men who signed the petition did so believing that the Subsidy support will make the financing of the road possible and if the road is constructed that it will be a great factor in the upbuilding of Rensselaer and the surrounding country. That some will conscientiously object to it, there is no doubt, but there is every probability that it will again carry by an overwhelming vote. Last Saturday a profile of the road through this county was filed with the county clerk. It shown the route to be taken. The names of four of the stockholders are signed to the profile, namely, E. G. Collins, E. G. Perrigo, R. H. Brainard and O. A. Rogers. The road will be bound by this action and the route can not be changed after the election is held. In Monticello Monday M. B. Beard, of Wolcott, attorney for the road in White county, appeared before the county commissioners at Monticello and asked that an order be passed to put onjthe tax duplicate the tax voted in Round Grove and Princeton townships. Mr. Brown, the promoter, has assurances that the money can be secured to build the road if the subsidy is voted in Marion township. It has previously been voted in Princeton and Round Grove townships, White county, and Jackson and Beaver townships, Newton county. Mr. Brown makes the following very fair statement at this time: “In a matter of this magnitude it is impossible to lay out iron-clad plans in advance and strictly adhere to them. However, we have purposely left Rensselaer and Marion township until we could ascertain what the other townships would do toward supporting the proposition and have carried al but two, in one of which we have received sufficient assurances to justify calling another election. We have the positive assurance from the financiers that if these elections carry we will be financed and can therefore build, but we nor any other company could possibly finance this line, excellent as the proposition is, without local support. We have secured the necessary state and county franchises, run complete surveys, filed our maps of the route with the proper state and county officials and will, when financed, at once begin acquiring right-of-way and hope to begin actual costruction withi sixty day*, which will afford the people along the route interurban connections Chicago and all Indiana lines.’’
