JOHN BURRIS AND WIFE IN LIMELIGHT

Cause Arrest of Illinois Farmer On Criminal Assault Charge—He Charges Blackmail. The following article is taken from The Kankakee, 111., Gazette, of last Friday. It refers to John Burris and wife, formerly of this city and county. The article reads: “Declaring that Kankakee county officials have no jurisdiction over a person arrested for crime committed in Livingston county, State’s Attorney Dyer yesterday refused to take action in the case of William Coyne, a farmer living 4% miles southwest of Reddick who was brought to Kankakee by a Livingston county constable yesterday afternoon. Coyne, who was arrested on the charge of criminal assault on a complaint made by Mrs. John Burris, his housekeeper, was given a trial in the court of Bert Johnson, a Reddick justice. He was bound' over to the Kankakee county grand jury and was placed under a $5,000 bond. The man was brought here yesterday by George Chapple, a constable living in Livingston county. When he arrived here Sheriff Bothfuhr made an investigation and found the alleged crime had taken place in Livingston county, that the parties involved lived in that county and that the constable also was from that county. “State’s Attorney Dyer was called and gave his opinion to the effect that the man could not be held here. The constable, however, held his man until he returned to Reddick last night where Coyne was released. It is thought that information will be filed against Coyne in his own county. Coyne’s arrest yesterday followed sensational charges made by Mrs. Burris. Mrs. Burris and her husband were employed by him to work on the farm and Mrs. Burris did the housework. It is said that Coyne assaulted her on two occasions. “Coyne when asked about the matter said he was innocent and that the Burrises had been discharged by him last Wednesday morning. He claims the charges of Mrs. Burris, are an attempt at blackmail. The case* of Coyne is rearrested, will probably be taken up by the Livingston county officials.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR KIDNEYS, USE SALTS

If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers, Drink Lots of Water. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water—you ean’t drink too much. Also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.

Petition tor Removal of Superintendent Lamson To the Honorable Trustees of Jasper County:

Believing that Ernest Lamson, Superintendent of the Schools of Jasper county, is incompetent to fill the office he holds, and that, there is general dissatisfaction on the part of patrons, teachers and pupils, your attention is invited to the following points which substantiate our con.viction: That a very large per cent of the teachers in the district schools are imported from other counties and even from other states; That these teachers secure their positions through agencies that charge a commission of 5 per cent of their first year’s salary; That Whereas Jasper county produces as many or more high school graduates, in proportion to the number of school teachers employed as any of the surrounding counties, and, whereas the surrounding counties are able to supply all or practically all of the teachers required in their counties, and often have a surplus of teachers, it is a fact that only a small per cent of the teachers of Jasper county are residents of this county; That many applicants for license who have made splendid records in the commissioned high schools of Wheatfield, Remington and Rensselaer, have been refused license by said Lamson; That many old teachers of many years’ experience have been discarded to make room for imported teachers, resulting in discouragement to both old and young applicants;

RAILROAD MEETING FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Representative of Construction Co. Will Tell Marion Township Voters His Plans. Voters, let us give a hearing to the Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad Co. ' ’ ( Through O. L. Brown, as promoter, this company desires to construct an interurban railroad from West Lafayette to Kankakee, 111., via Wolcott, Rensselaer, Mt. Ayr, Morocco and St. Anne. Round Grove and Princeton townships in White county and Jackson and Beaver townships, Newton county, have voted subsidies for the support of the road. Marion township, Jasper county, is asked to vote a subsidy of 2 per cent, amounting to about $61,000. The election will be next Wednesday, July 14th. O. L. Brown, the promoter, and Perry O’Connor, of Round Grove township, one of the chief backers of the project and a man for whom the editor of The Republican can vouch, were here Tuesday and Wednesday. With them was Patrick Hirsch, of the M. A. Talbott Construction Co., of Rome, N. Y. Mr. Hirsch was compelled to go to Chicago early Wednesday morning, but telegraphic arrangements were made with Mr. Hirsch to return to Rensselaer Friday morning and to hold a meeting at the east court room in Rensselaer at 1 o’clock Friday afternoon. The. writer met Mr. Hirsch on a previous visit and he states that he represents a company that will build this railroad. He will divulge all of the plans that are consistent with good business and there should be a large representation of taxpayers present to attend the meeting. • Mr. Brown has visited St. Joseph’s college this week in company with Edward P. Honan, one of the local attorneys, and it has been promised that the surveyed route will be altered to meet the requirements of the college and this can be done under the law. The change proposed is said to meet the approval of the college and it is believed will remove the most serious opposition that has been offered to the proposed road. Mr. Brown will tell those present just what this change is to be. It seems that Rensselaer is in a very fair way to get this road and it is worthy the support of those who want to see the town grow-and its business interests develop. Certainly it is worthy giving an investigation at this time and it is hoped a large number of people will be present at the meeting Friday afternoon. Citizens in general, property owners, merchants, mechanics and laboring men are urged to be on hand.

WEATHER. Farr tonight and Friday; warmer Friday.

That many who take the examination refuse to permit said Lamson to grade their papers and are therefore compelled to pay a fee of $1.25 to have their papers graded in the office of the state superintendent; * That said Lamson has not visited the schools of the county as much as the services of the office would permit and that said visits are not helpful to either pupils or teachers on account of the inability of said Lamson to give the aid contemplated by the law; That he has put the county to unnecessary expense by keeping an assistant in his offipe; That he spends much of his time at private work to the neglect of his duties as superintendent; That there is general and widespread dissatisfaction in.the district scohols because pupils are not so taught that they can pass the eighth grade examination, resulting in their failure to enter high school; That Lamson and his poor qualifications are discussed in all portions of the county to the detriment of effective school work; and That Lamson will not be able to overcome these conditions, and having lost the respect and esteem of the people of the county his usefulness in the position he fills is undoubtedly at an end; We therefore petition that he be asked to resign and in case of his failure so to do that steps be taken for his removal:

MEETING AT KENTLAND TO BOOST W. T. M’CRAY

Friends of Tenth District Candidate For Governor to Meet at His Home July 14th.

“Looks like a winner.” That is what friends of Warren T. McCray say and they say it after making a canvass of the district and finding that all the counties in this part of the state are for him and will give him the sort of endorsement that will make him the nominee of the republican party. At Kentland next Wednesday afternoon; July 14th, there will be a meeting of Mr. McCray’s friends from over the district and his candidacy will be formally launched at that time. The Republican is asked to encourage all who can do so to attend the meeting, meet Mr. McCray and become identified with the movement to elect him to the highest position in the gift of the state. Lawrence Lyons, writing from Brook, says: “His friends and neighbors will get into this thing in a big yvay, and we can win this nomination for him.”

Fire in Brookston Drug Store Threatens Town.

A fire in the drug store belonging to B. W. and Bernard Thompson, at Brookston, was destroyed by fire Wednesday afternoon, and for a short time it was feared that a substantial part of the business section would fall prey to the flames. The fire, which originated in the basement, where a quantity of paints, oils and other inflammable stock was stored, is thought to have resulted from spontaneous combustion. The Lafayette fire department was called upon for assistance and they made a quick trip to Brookston with tnyo large chemical tanks, but when they reached there the blaze was well under control. The stock of the J. H. Johnson clothing store was carried out and was only slightly damaged. The drug stock was a total loss but is nearly covered by insurance.
