Attracting Much Attention. An Artist Whose Work Is

Rensselaer is favored by having as a resident Miss Emilie Wightman, an artist of great talent and The Republican desires to call attention to an advertisement in this paper. Miss Wightman feels that having come to Rensselaer unheralded and unknown some slight resume of her former activities would not be amiss. The beginning of her musical education was secured under private professors and at Porratan College, W. Va. Subsequently she had the advantage of studying under the direction of faculty members of Dr. Ziegfield’s Conservatory of Music in Chicago. While in Chicago she was a member of the Apollo and other singing societies; also a member of thfe Western avenue M. E. church choir. A severe illness at this time which terminated in pneumonia caused her to abandon music and take up art, for which she had a natural talent, as her life work. After spending some time a broad recuperating her health she entered the Corcoran Art School at Washington, D. C. She remained there for nine years, taking up all branches of her chosen profession. She was rewarded by seeing the result of her later years’ work hung in successful competition with very notable artists. Returning to Chicago she found many opportunities for the successful pursuit of her work but upon visiting her sister in Rensselaer she concluded that the attractiveness of this quiet county seat was more to her choice than the hurry of the city.

Miss Eva Maines gave a miscellaneous shower Monday evening of this week for Miss Edna King, whose engagement to Mr. Eden D. Rupe, a farmer living near Warsaw, was recently announced. The 11-year-old son of Ira Brown, of Jordan township, is now able to be up soe with the aid of crutches. Some five weeks ago he suffered four fractures of one of his legs while trying to crank his father’s automobile. Miss Margaret Babcock went to Indianapolis today for a few days’ visit and from there will go to Blountsville to attend a house party given by Mrs. Virgil Gordon, a sister of Paul Miller and a former teacher in the city schools here. The 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Davisson ran the tines of a pitchfork deeply into his foot Monday. He was brought to town and Dr. English dressed the injury and expects it to heal without serious results. Mrs. Ernest Clark and baby, of Helper, Utah, who have been visiting her mother at Delphi, came here this afternoon to visit Mrs. E. L. Clark and other relatives. Mr. Clark will come from Helper within a few weeks to visit relatives and Mrs. Clark and baby will return home with him. Leslie Clark returned from Decatur last evening, where he attended the public sale of Shetland ponies of Jones Bros., of Redkey. They sold 45 head of ponies to buyprp from all over the country. Mr. Clark bought five head of mares, which he will dispose of if buyers can be found, otherwise he will keep them for the increase, as the mares are all supposed to be in foal. Marion I. Adams was the victim of chicken thieves last week, when about 75 young chickens were stolen. Mr. Adams made the rounds of the poultry dealers but could get no clew that might lead to the arrest of the thieves. It was at the Adams home that young Boudreau, the Milroy township youth, was apprehended after being frightened away from the chicken roost, and prior to that time chickens had been stolen there this year. 'Evidently Mr. Adams will have to go out of the chicken business or put out a few man traps to capture the thieves. Nothing is too strong for a chicken thief, be is shotgun, mantrap or “pizen.”

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1915.

TROOP OF CAVALRY VISIT RENSSELAER

*Gsptkin W. B. Scales v Commands Black Horse Troop That Pays Second Visit Here. For the second time Troop B, of the Fifth U. S. cavalry, is camped in Rensselaer for a rest and over-night camp, while on its way from Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, to Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis. The troop is commanded by Captain W. B. Scales and consists of seventy men and three officers, all mounted on black horses. The other officers are Second Lieutenant J. B. Treat and Captain R. S. Porter, the latter of the Medical Corps. The other officers were not with Captain Scales last year.

The troop is camped on North Forest street in the W. H. Randle pasture, he having gladly made arrangements for the soldiers as an accommodation to them. Others in the neighborhood who kindly offered cooperation for the comfort of the men and horses were Mrs. John Martindale, Earle Reynolds, M. Gosnell, and F. M. Parker. The camp, Captain Scales stated, is the best they have had since they left Fort Sheridan. There was ample room for the picket line for the horses and short grass for the tents of the men, while the officers’ tents are on a slight eminence and overlook the shelter tents and the mess shack. Mr. Randle informed Lieutenant Treat, the troop quartermaster, that the men could have all the apples they wished, as they were going to waste, and Sergeant Martin Sauser, of this city, who was retired from the regular army several years ago, brought a two-bushel sack of apples from his country home southwest of town and informed Lieutenant Treat that if he would send one of the troop wagons to his home he would give the soldiers a quantity of sweet cider. All were very appreciative of the courtesy.

Major Healey and Lieutenant Arthur Tuteur accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reynolds to a point near Aix to meet the troop and all assisted in locating the troop in an agreeable camp ground. The public gave the soldiers a cordial welcome and quite a number were at the camp ground when Captain Scales gave his orders for the location of the tents and the picket and turned the command over to a sergeant who brought the troops into Jine at a trot, caused them to count off and dismount. Others came soon afterward and many automobiles have been .parked along Forest street all afternoon.

Last night the soldiers camped at Roselawn and a friend of The Republican called from there this morning to say that the visit of the soldiers proved a pleasant event for the people of that town and that their conduct was in every way admirable. They broke camp at Rosel|wn this morning, starting their march at about 7:30 o’clock. It was about 12:30 when they arrived here. This being band concert night in Rensselaer the soldiers are Certain to enjoy their stay here and patriotic Rensselaer is certain to make their brief stay here as pleasant as possible. The troops will be at Fort Benjamin Harrison for about three weeks and will probably take part in the big military spectacle that is to be staged at the speedway on Sept. 6.

First Person in This City to Get Ford Rebate.

Dr. Kannal was today in receipt of a check for SSO from the Ford Motor Co., which is the rebate promised some time ago by that company. Dr. Kannal is the first person in Rensselaer to receive this rebate and as soon as it became known the postoffice will probably be visited regularly by other Ford owners until they get their money. Joe Hardman is making some improvement to his residence property on South Cullen street, erecting a rear porch and putting on a new roof.

Leo Frank’s Body Taken To Brooklyn For Burial.

The body of Leo M. Frank, under heavy police guard, was placed aboard a .Southern railway train which departed at 12 o'clock last night for Brooklyn. The funeral party, including Mrs. Frank and several friends, who will accompany the body to Brooklyn, was guarded carefully by the police until the train left the station. Mrs. Frank appeared at the train unassisted and showed no serious effects of her ordeal.

Miss Vera Healey returned today after a three weeks’ visit with Miss Virginia Winn in Chicago. Walter Crampton came today from lis home in Chicago to visit his uncle, C. E. Prior, and friends. J. F. Bruner and family are preparing to move to Hebron, where he owns the telephone plant. Harry Gallagher is moving to one of the Williams properties on Cullen street, just south of Dr. Loy’s office. Mrs. George H. Healey has been quite sick since Sunday with a severe attack of throat trouble, resembling tonsilitis, although her tonsils were removed several years ago. Dr. Washburn received a call to Hammond this afternoon to counsel with the physicians who are looking after Orland Grant. It is understood that his condition is very critical. The express company business continues to increase and it has been demonstrated for a long time that one horse can not do the work and the company has now consented to put on a team. Temporarily a livery team is being worked every other day. Charles Chupp, son of Levi Ohupp, of near Surrey, and for some years a rtsident of Edinberg, Ind., but now of Ithica, N. Y., is to accompany students from a college in Washington and the head pathologist of Belgium on some botanical research work up the Hudson river. Miss Anna Hartley entertained the girls’ sew club Tuesday afternoon, at which time she announced her coming marriage to Dr. Gerald D. Strong, of Homer, Mich. The wedding will take place on Wednesday, September Ist, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Hartley. The secret was disclosed in a clever manner. Each guest found a threaded needlt in a comfort which they were asked to tie, and on attempting to pull the needle through, discovered at the end of the thread a little card tied with pink ribbon containing the names of the principals and the date. Lucious refreshments were served.

SAGE TEA PUTS LIFE AND COLOR IN HAIR Don’t Stay Gray! It Darkens So Naturally That Nobody Can Tell.

You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you’ll get a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound” at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied. Those whose hair is turning gray, becoming faded; dry, scraggly and fhfn have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful —all dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling hair stops. This is the age of youth. Grayhaired, unattractive folks . aren’t wanted around, so get busy with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur tonight and you’ll be delighted with your dark, handsome and your youthful appearance within a few days.

U. S. TROOPS TO BE AT THE SPEEDWAY

Cavalry, Artillery and Signal Troops To Assist National Guard at War Spectacle. Indianapolis, Aug. 18.—With the signing of an order by Governor Ralston for the assembly of the entire National Guard of the state at the Indianapolis motor speedway, Sunday, Sept. 5, wheels for the production of the gigantic war spectacle, “War in Indiana,” at the Hoosier speedway on Labor Day have been set jn motion. The governor’s order was transmitted to Adjt. Gen. Frank L. Bridges, who in turn will communicate with the captain of each company throughout the state. Railroad men have been called to figure on train schedules, as the handling of the great number of men involved will demand careful advance preparation. More than three thousand soldiers, according to latest calculations, will take part in the production, approximately 2600 being furnished by the state guard and the remainder by the U. S. cavajry. This includes ar* tillery, machine gun platoons, ambulance, signal, and hospital corps. After the spectacle camp will be broken immediately and the troops .entrained direct from the speedway, to give government officers an opportunity to observe how the heads of the guard would conduct themselves in case of actual service. It is expected that all the troops will be home again Tuesday morning. Interest in the armory project is growing, resolutions in its behalf being passed by organizations of business men almost every day. This evidence of patriotism, coupled with the fact that “War in Indiana,” will reproduce in detail warfare as it is conducted in Europe, is expected to result in an attendance that will surpass any gathering ever held in the state.
