New Brick Street Defects Being Repaired by Contractor.

The brick street construct'd last year by Nees & Seaman, of .Frankfort, has been showing a number of defects, the concrete filling paving been poorly distributed, leav «g the brick comers exposed and tiu bricks have chipped off almost as r ach in ten months’ use as the brick on the other sides of the court house had in sixteen years. Apparently tl s brick is not of first-class quality. A though paid for the contractors are lible on their bond and they have employed Fred Ferguson to take up tbr brick in several places and reset thxm, giving them the cement filling irocess. The work of repair was started yesterday. —i)

SUBSIDY IS ASKED IN WEST LAFAYETTE

Brown Co. Asks Tax Aid Amounting to $71,000 in Wabash Township, Tippecanoe County. The promotion of the Lafayette A Northwestern Railroad Co. by O. L. Brown is being carried to all townships through which it is to pass on a tax subisdy basis and Mr. Brown and those with whom he is'associated appeared before the board of directors at the Chamber of Commerce of West Lafayette Wednesday and asked endorsement of a plan to vote a subsidy in that city and WeUsh township. The amount of tax aid asked there is $71,000. The Chamber of Commerce directors refused to pass a resolution offered in support of the subsidy but expressed themselves favorable to the road.

Mr. Brown outlined to the directors of the Chamber of Commerce the plans for construction of the road, seating that bonds would be sold and that the M. L. Talbott Construction Co., of Rome, N. Y., would build the road. He stated that there was possibility of subsidy aid in the sum cf $256,000, that the road could be bonded for $14,000 a mile and that the balance necessary to construct could be sold in preferred stock. v The Lafayette Journal attacks the proposition of subsidies and advises the people of West Lafayette against them. West Lafayette has no railroad now and all the baggage for Purdue students must be taken to Lafayette proper for checking out. It is probable that the construction of the interurban would prove a great benefit to West Lafayette, even though the .Journal is unable to see the justification for the tax aid.

Agitation For Hospital For Monticello and Vicinity.

Rensselaer has started the hospital bug now and it is very likely that a number of other nearby counties will soon be raising funds for county hospitals. The Monticello Journal has already begun to talk of it in their paper, and states that Rendselaer is already on the road to a hospital and that Monticello should do the same. The "same reasons for a hospital in Rensselaer and Monticello prevail everywhere. A large number of people are taken to Chicago and Indianapolis for treatment where the expense is an unusually heavy burden on many of those who are forced to go to these places or send members of their family. In a local hospital the patients could be taken care of much cheaper than in a city hospital and with more promptness. Local hospitals are a benefit to the physicians as well as the residents and it is these men Who are willing to push the proposition and give their combined support

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1915.

PLEDGE TO VOTERS MADE BY CHAIRMAN

Equal Voice Guaranteed All Who Return to Party—Will H. Hays Urges Patriotism. In a public speech aft Anderson recently Chairman Will H. Hays, of the republican state central committee, made the following appeal and pledge to those voters in Indiana who are figuring an affiliation with the republican party in the campaign of 1916: “All those good citizens who voted other tickets, and especially those who were affiliated with the progressive party last year and who have not yet come with their friends in the republican party, are again most earnestly and sincerely urged to join our fighting force and become a potent part of the party of protection and prosperity, with an equal voice in the management of the party’s affairs with every other man in the party. “As here and now we greet these good friends who are with us, with that peculiar pleasure, that strength of hand and warmth of heart that comes only with the reunion of strong spirits in a perfect understanding, so here and now we renew to all our pledge that the rights of individuals within the party to a full participation in the party’s activities shall be and rem. in equally sacred and sacredly equal. This is the party’s solemn promises. Its fulfillment shall be our most earnest, constant aim. “The solution of the entire matter is now solely a question of patriotism. We are approaching a period in our industrial and national life second to none in complexity and in most serious, importance. The country looks to the republican party to meet it. It has never failed in such a crisis. It will not fail now—but there is a tremendous work to do. To aid in this is duty. The. country needs the repubilcan party —and what this country needs it is the duty of every man to give. The country needs the party; the party wants these men. To them all I say, let us be constructors, not obstructionists. Let us do this work together. Gome.”

First Fire Cracker Accident in Rensselaer.

The first firecracker accident to occur in Rensselaer this year may cause Vera Bever, 7-year-old daughter of Clifford Beaver, to lose one and perhaps both eyes. The little girl was playing with some other little girls in front of McKay’s laundry Wednesday evening with firecrackers. A cone shaped cracker, which throws flame into the air, was lighted but faield to go off at first. The little girl went up to see what the matter was and while looking into the cone with both eyes wide open it exploded. She was badly burned in the eyes and about the ears and neck and her hair was singed. Dr. Hemphill was called and dressed the wounds which were very bad, the skin being all off. One of the girl's eyes is entirely shut and she cannot see out of the other. It may be that she will lose the sight of 'both eyes.

Bruner, who recently sold his country telephone lines to the stockholders of the Jasper County Telephone Co., has closed a deed for the Hebron plant, buying it from A. L.

Unlimited Powers and Cash Granted Russian War Body.

Owing to the severe setbacks administered to the Russians by the Germans, the former government has appointed a new board of munitions which has been given power to spend unlimited money and are given virtually unrestricted power over all private industries in the whole of the country. The Russians have been hard pressed lately and it was seen that something must be done. The war body is expected to remedy things and the power given them seems to indicate that the country fully realizes the recent disasters.
