Stubborn Russian Resistance Restrains Reinforced Germans.

Although the Germans are using very strong reinforcements of men and guns, they have not yet succeeded in breaking the Russian resistance either around Warsaw or in Kovno and the Courtland provinces in each of which sections heavy fighting has been in progress for nearly a fortnight. Except for the capture of Goworwo, on the Narew front, and a number of prisoners and machine guns at that point and between Mitau and the Nieman, the German official report issued Wednesday does not claim any evidence. In fact, General von Buelow in the north and Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who crossed the Narew at some points, are being held 'by the Russian counter attacks which, although costly to the Russians, shows that there is plenty of fight left in them.

U. S. May Seize Control Of Hayti to Stop Trouble.

At the request of Secretary Lansing, Rear Admiral Caperton has been sent to Hayti with the ship Washington and 400 marines to protect the lives of Americans and foreigners. This is the first step taken by the United States to re-establish peace in the Haytian republic. If trouble continues more marines and blue jackets will be sent to the aid of Admiral Caperton. A mOb of infuriated people Wednesday removed Vibrumo Guillaume, president of Hayti, from the French legation, where he took refuge, and shot him to death in front of the building. After this the body was mutilated and a rope tied around the neck and dragged through the streets. This act of violence followed the burial of 160 political prisoners who were massacred in prison. The mob was composed mostly of relatives of the victims of this wholesale execution.

ALONZO WALLACE OF LAURA A SUICIDE

Section Foreman and Storekeeper Killed Himself With Shotgun Wednesday Afternoon. Alonzo Wallace, 62 years of age, storekeeper at Laura and foreman of the section gang at that place, committed suicide Wednesday afternoon at about 5 o’clock by shooting himself in the neck with a shotgun. Apparently death was instantaneous but no one heard the discharge of the gun as an engine was running near the store. Mrs. Wallace and Margaret, the only child at home, were spending the day with Oney Wallace near Kouts. A half hour before the act was committed Orie Cunningham, who lives near the store, was engaged in conversation with Mr. Wallace. Later when Mr. Cunningham went into the store and did not find Wallace he began a search of the premises and found the body in a pool of blood in a bedroom in the living apartments over the store. A hole two inches in diameter had been tom through the neck, the charge entering from the front. The shotgun lay on the floor beside the dead body. Dr. C. E. Johnson, county coroner, was called and Lloyd Parks accompanied him to Laura. It was clear from appearances that Wallace had suicided and a coroner’s jury was not necessary. It is understood that Wallace had been drinking excessively of late and that he had threatened on several occasions when drinking to take his life. He leaves a wife and four children, all grown but the daughter Margaret. The older children are Mrs. M. 0. Callahan, of Wheaton, Ill.; Oney Walace, of near Koute, and Misses Lottie and Josie, one of whom is a nurse in a hospital at Gary.

JOHN KOLHOFF,

Keener Township Man Is Charged With Criminal Assault.

David B. Gleason, who is about 35 years of age and married, was placed under arrest in Keener township Wednesday by Constable Knipp, of that township. He is charged with criminal assault on the person of Mrs. Albert Crawford, who filed the affidavit that resulted in the arrest. She alleges that on the night of July 16th Gleason came to her home and informed her that his wife was ill and asked her to come and stay with her while he went to Thayer to procure medietoe. She got into the car with him, according to her story at the preliminary hearing before Squire John Greve at DeMotte, Wednesday. She says that he did not take her to his house but told her that his story was just a bluff and that he turned off the road into the woods and tried to enforce improper relations. She said that he did not accomplish his purpose and that he exacted a promise that she would not tell either her husband or his wife and that with that understanding he took her back home. She told her husband and later told Mrs. Gleason and then came to Rensselaer to prefer the charges. Gleason did not make any statement at the trial.

THIEF LEFT AUTO AT FARMER’S HOME

Youth Stole Ford From Dr. Kelley of Hammond and Left It at Home of Mark Ott. Mark Ott, who lives 1% miles northwest of Kniman, was taken to Hammond Tuesday following the recovery at his farm that day of a Ford automobile belonging to Dr. Kelley, of Hammond. No suspicion attached to Mr. Ott, but the Hammond officer, Deputy Sheriff Brice Whittaker, a brother of Sheriff Henry Whittaker, thought it best to require him to go to Hammond and give what information he could about the machine. Mr. Ott said that the car was brought to his house by a young man named Valentine Schramm, of Hammond. Schramm had worked in the neighborhood of Kniman for a short time. He wanted to sell the car but Mr. Ott would not buy it unless the owner of the car came to him and made the sale direct. Young Schramm offered to go to Hammond and bring the owner of the car to Kniman and he left ostensibly for that purpose. While he was away the Lake county officers the machine to Mr. Ott’s farm and recovered it, taking Mr. Ott to Hammond with them. Tuesday night Young Schramm reappeared at the Ott home, having two companions with him. They were in another Ford car. They learned that the other car had been taken by and so pulled out, going to the east and it is believed to South Bend. Sheriff McColly was called into the case and made trips to Hammond and Gary, giving aid in locating the first stolen car. It is not known whether the second car that Schramm and companions drove to Kniman was a stolen car or not, but it is said that Hammond police know the names of the others who were with Schramm and believe the car was stolen. Schramm is 19 years of age and lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Schramm, 2850 Lincoln avenue, Hammond. He is said to have been in trouble before. He is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, weight about 160 pounds. He wore a blue coat, blue striped pants, white canvas shoes and a cap when last seen. Mr. Ott was released after he arrived in Hammond and returned to his home Wednesday. He gave the officers all the information he had and this will probably aid in capturing Young Schramm.

Former Rensselaer Girl Wrote Poetry While Ill.

Rensselaer friends of Mrs. Virginia Austin Shayne will he interested in an article that appeared recently in The Chicago Examiner. It will be recalled that for mony months Mrs. Shayne was an invalid and during this tame she wrote number of verses that have commended themselves to those who admire pretty sentiments expressed poetically. The examiner published excerpts from the poems which are here reprinted in The Republican: Dearly beloved! Thou hast left me, and gone So far away, to the great beyond, With naught for comfort but memories, clear, And alas! They bring such lonesomeness, dear. Dearly beloved, with those memories true, All the world speaks to me —of you; Oftimes it brings smiles —snore oft a tear, But always that lonesomeneas — lonesomeness, dear. It was a little more than ten years ago that Virginia Louise Austin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Austin, married Roy Merriweather Shayne. Even then —and before then —she had the instinct of poetry. But the pressure of social and other duties bore so heavily upon her that she wrote no line. Here is another “little thought, as she calls it: How wonderful to understand God’s world and work and man; His tiniest flower speaks love to * you, t » , „ , The birds are singing of His love, too, So what are you and I to do But to love and understand? Mrs. Shayne has written, not for the public nor for the publishers, but purely for self-expression. It is believed her verses, if printed, will be published only in a small private edition for distribution among her friends, to whom, after all, the thoughts are addressed.

Replies to Letter By Mother of School Teacher.

Rensselaer Republican, Dear Sirs: I wish to write you concerning that letter printed in the paper of the 18th written by Mrs. Miller, of South Bend and set matters aright. wanted to know why Dist. No. 8 had no teacher in the latter part of August. That is easily explained. There was only one home teacher in the township, consequently all the other teachers had to be hired outside the township. Had Miss Miller been at the preliminary institute on Friday as she should have been she probably would have had another school. All the other teachers were at institute and received their schools, taking possession on Saturday. Miss Miller ararrived at my home about 10 o’colak Sunday and Dist. No. 8 was the only school without a teacher. After Miss Miller had taught at Dist, No. 8 about two weeks and couldn’t control the children, Miss Long, the teacher from Dist No. 1 offered to exchange schools. I tried to persuade her to take Dist No. 1, but she said she would try Dist. No. 8 for another week, at the end of which Miss Long did not care to give up her school. Mr. Lamson asked Miss Miller to resign inasmuch as he thought it was for her benefit because if she had not resigned she would have been put out of school, thus eliminating any chance of her getting another school. Miss Miller sent me her resignation. I hired another teacher on the strength of her resignation. The other was a Miss Walters. She arrived at Wheatfield on Saturday and I took her over to the school on Sunday afternoon. I didn’t see Miss Miller at that time as there was nobody at home where she boarded. I iiad scarcely been home an hour when Miss Miller called me on the telephone and refused to give up her school. A short time after which I was taken sick, which caused Mr. Lamson to think it had come from worrying. Mrs. Miller also stated that Miss Walters did not finish the term. This is a mistake, as she finished the term. Mrs. Miller also said that Mr. Lamson wrote a promnient lawyer in South 'Bend a letter, destroying her daughter’s chance to obtain a school in that locality. This letter was written at my request after I had received a letter from the lawyer stating that Miss Miller either wanted another school, an easy one, or pay for the balance of the term she did not finish. Yours truly,
