An article printed in the Wednesday Lafayette Journal tells of an attack by veterans of the present administration of the Indiana National Guard under Adjutant General Frank L.

Most of these men belong to the organization of the United Spanish War Veterans, Department of Indiana, and at their meeting last week they sent the following telegram to President Wilson at Cornish, N. H.: “In support of your policies to maintain peace and if necessary to uphold our national honor and dignity, our services are at your command.”

FATHER AND BROTHER KILLED IN AUSTRALIA

.i' . ' •Nick Avery Receives Letter Telling of the Death of Relatives in Lemburg Campaign.

Nick. Avery, 19 years of age and a native of Austria, received a letter last Saturday which brought the sad news that his father and olddr brother had lost their lives in the attack on Lemberg. Avery was working for John Summers, southeast of town, and was so worried when he received the letter that Mr. Summers thought he was losing his mind. He said that he was going to return to Austria and avenge their deaths. Mr. Summers told Him that he could not get over there as all ships were searched by British vessels, but he insisted that he would try. He set out for Rensselaer on foot and said he would go to Chicago and after conferring with relatives would go to New York and find a way to get back to his old home.

Instead of going to Chicago, however, he went to Pleasant Grove, where a reporter for The Republican talked with him over the telephone today, Wednesday. He said that he had decided not to try to go to Austria but was going to work for Fred Markin. He seemed entirely rational, but said that he was feeling very badly at the sad news.

Father Called From Jamestown To Home of Son in Rensselaer.

James Oxley arrived in Rensselaer this Wednesday morning from Jamestown, Boone county, in response to a telegram from his son, Fred Oxley, asking him to come here at once. Oxley and wife have lived here for several months and recently were called to Illinois by the death of her father. They left their two children, 4 and 5 years of age, in charge of Mrs. L. V. Martin, stating that they would ibe away but a day. They did not return for seven days and no word was sent to Mrs. Martin, who began to think that the children bad been deserted. She counseled with the board of associated charities and they provided some clothing for the children and took the matter up with Judge Hanley with a view to having the children made his wards. The parents arrived, however, at the end of the week, but Mrs. Martin states that they refused to pay her for caring for the children and she called on Mayor Spitler after Mrs. Oxley had given her somewhat of a tongue lashmg. The mayor advised her to sqe Oxley and she did this but he also refused to pay. The father, who arrived in response to a telegram, was considerably worried, but stated that he had been called on several previous occasions and had helped his son and wife almost to the end of endurance. He said that he owned property at Wingate and had given them the free use of the house but that they lived there only a short time and that Mis. Oxley induced her husband to leave there, but that he had to be called frequently to give them assistance. On one occasion Mrs. Oxley had threatened to folrp her own life and had thrown herself across the railroad as a train approached but she had been pulled off the track by persons who saw her. The Oxleys live in the former Maloy property near the railroad on Main Street. They are young people and before their marriage she worked for some time for Mrs. Powell, who ran the old Nowels hotel.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE SO, 1915.

Big Wheat Crop Will Make Prosperity for Rensselaer Mill.

Several farmers who had fields of rye have begun to cut it and all are getting ready to cut wheat and one or two are reported to have already started cutting, but most fields are still a little grew. By the last of this week or the first of next, however, the binders will be gathering the greatest wheat crop ever grown in Jasper county and the threshing machine owners are getting ready to start up and by the middle of July it is expected that wheat will be coining in to the mill and the elevators. Ralph Sprague, who owns the Iroquois Roller Mills and who has put them in the best possible shape by installing the most modern machinery looks with much satisfaction on the hig wheat crop and says that the hard wheat grown in Jasper and adjoining counties has no superior for flour. Mr. Sprague’s mill has a capacity of 70 barrels per day and he has frequently run it up to capacity since the new machinery was installed. Now, however, there is practically no old wheat and he has been getting ready for the hig rush that is sure to come when the wheat is thrashed. This is the first modern mill Jasper county has had and should be given the encouragement of every wheat grower and flora user. Mr. Sprague advertises that he will take back any flour that is not entirely satisfactory and pay cash for the wheat exchanged for it at the market price on the day it was delivered at the mill. We hope to see him rushed to the limit of the mill’s capacity and believe this will result.

Man Didn’t Know Where To Find Charlie Chaplin.

Charlie Chaplin is indirectly responsible for the condition of Herschel Geyer, a hotel clerk in Elkhart, who Monday night was stabbed by Wm. Patterson, a negro porter at the hotel. On Sunday Geyer sent Patterson to hunt Charlie Chaplin. Patterson was not acquainted with the movie star and spent several hours in search, until some one put him wise. When Geyer started guying Patterson Sunday about his hunt words led to more words with the final result that Geyer was cut with a large knife wielded by Patterson and is now in a critical condition at a hospital. No matter how hard you are to please, we have the buggy that will suit you to a T.—-Hamilton & Kellner.

Van Norman Writes From Winona—Renews Subscription.

In renewing his subscription to The Semi-Weekly Republican, Van Norman writes from Winona Lake as follows: “People have been coming here rather slowly this year up to the present time, but it is looking much better now. A tribe of Indians has taken up its habitat here, living in tepees in primeval fashion. They are to present Hiawatha in the nature setting and it promises to be very interesting. Their village is on the lake front and I pass it as I haul milk every morning just before breakfast. They are very fond of milk and that, coupled with salt pork and potatoes, seems to be their chief diet. Perhaps they have fish also, as they are fond of fishing and occupy considerable time at that sport. This is a fine place to spend a summer vacation and along with quiet and shade and fishing there are the educational advantages, fine entertainments, etc., ad I shall be pleased to see a number of Jasper county people* over here this summer.”
