Monticello Man Favors Making of Round Corners.

Monticello JournaL (S. W. iMyers, of this city, makes the following suggestion with reference to cutting road corners, which was printed in the Indianapolis News. Mr. Myers' plan is original and has much merit. He says: While so much is being said about road improvement and various kinds of highways, I wish to make a suggestion that, if carried out, would add much convenience and comfort to automobile driving. I refer to the cutting of short, sharp corners or turns that are to be found in all our highways. A triangle of ground ten feet wide at its greatest width would be ample on which to make a long easy turn and the expense of getting the land and making the improvement would be but a trifle. Many owners would donate the land.

John Frey, the baker who formerly? worked for B. F. Barnes, is now at Earl Park and came home Saturday to remain over Sunday with his family, who will continue to live here.

In response to the Pan-American proffers to the Mexican bandit leaders that they meet far from the “roar of cannon” and talk peace, a telegraphic dispatch from the seat of war states that the stage is set for a big battle between Carranza and Villa forces in central Mexico. The only favorable thing is that the bullets won’t be able to cross over the American border, thus calling for a new brand of moral suasion.

E. L. Hammerton was here a short time this morning enroute to Chicago from Indianapolis to start his run as a mail clerk. He has been in Indianapolis with his little daughter, Marie, who is taking the pasteur treatment as a precaution against rabies infection.

Pictures Taken at Militia Camp to Be Shown at Gayety.

Captain Herman B. Tuteur has leased the Gayety airdome for Thursday night of this week, Aug. 26th, and in addition to the full vaudeville and motion picture show will have exhibited 1,200 feet of film taken at the recent camps of instruction of the Indiana National Guard at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Company M was in the picture which was taken one evening when Governor Ralston reviewed the parade. The pictures are reported to be first-class and Captain Tuteur procured them at considerable expense and should be given extensive patronage. Members of the militia company will sell tickets and as the company has made no appeal to the public for a long time it is hoped that all will buy liberally.

Tonight’s the Big Night.

The Cornell-Price Players arrived from Crawfordsville yesterday afternoon and the cordial greeting extended by their many Rensselaer friends was very gratifying to the various members. Everything is in readiness for this evening’s production of “In the Bishop’s Carriage;” and a crowded house is assured by the unusually large advance sale. Particular stress is laid on the vaudeville features for tonight, one of which is the Military Lunatic, whose “going to Washington to fight for the governor’s daughter” was town talk two years ago. Happy Hal Price and the entire cast are at their best in tonight’s play. The low prices of 10, 20 and 30 cents prevail, and if purchased before 6 p. m., one lady will be given adjoining seat free with each paid reserved seat ticket. A good $3.50 spring seat for $2.00, or SI.OO if purchased with a wagon bed. This is a bargain. HAMILTON & KELLNER.

Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan hold directly opposite views about our national duty with reference to the sinking of the Arabic. Roosevelt says that words will no longer suffiice to demand “strict accountability” for the loss of American lives and recommends that American soldiers be put into training at ompe. Mr. Bryan says that Americfahs should keep off these vessels and not drag the U. S. into war. He says the time to discuss the position of the United States should be postponed a year. His theory is to let the belligerents solely alone and let the U. S. play its game of neutrality on this side of the ocean. '

C. Arthur Tuteur Lands Good Job With Commission.

E. P. Honan and C. Arthur Tuteur were in Indianapolis Saturday and met with the democrats from over Indiana at the Denison hotel. Presumably the plan of campaign for the coming year was taken up. It is understood that Mr. Honan is being urged to accept the tenth district chairmanship. This has been held for some years by Charles J. Murphy, who .is now a member of the public service commission and consequently ineligible to longer hold the chairmanship, Mr. Honan is a deputy oil inspector and would lose this job if he became chairman and it is understood he does not feel like making the sacrifice the chairmanship would call for, which would require his absence from home much of the time. Mr. Tuteur has been selected for an important place with the public service commission, having been appointed Saturday by Governor Ralston on the recommendation of Mr. Murphy. The position will pay him $1,600 a year. His work will require him to spend about half his time traveling over the state. He will make his residence in Indianapolis and will begin work on Oct. Ist. Arthur’s friends here are pleased that he has secured the position and know that he will be able to fill it to the entire satisfaction of the members of the commission.

Brick Highway For Jasper County Proposed By Democrat.

' ,The Jasper County Democrat proposes a 16-foot brick highway for Jasper county to run north and south to the county limits, a distance of from 35 to ‘4O miles. The Democrat figures the expense to be about $350,000. The Jasper county court house cost about half of that sum. The new hospital for Jasper county, which The Democrat thinks we do not need, will cost about one-twentieth as much as a brick highway through the county. Just as a little dream of the air castle or puff of smoke variety The Democrat’s suggestion is an enjoyable one, but it is hardly probable that it will be given serious consideration after thoughtful men have reflected and used a pencil and paper. The development of the motor business apd its eventual entrance into a wider field of importance as a carrier of all kinds of freight over permanently constructed roads justifies consideration of hard surface road building, but the probability that state aid will be given to the construction of the trunk line roads and that automobiles will be taxed for the permanent construction of these roads would make it a very unwise thing for any county to saddle on to its taxpayers such an enormous debt, even if it could be legally done, which it probably can not. The Republican believes that there should be a low providing for an automobile tax for permanent construction and that it should be sufficient to provide revenue for the building of two or three miles of brick or concrete road each year. The next legislature is quite certain to take up this matter and Jasper county along with others can ■ wait and suffer no great inconvenience.

Italy Has Declared War On the Ottoman Government.

The Italian ambassador at Constantinople, Marquis DiCarroni, has handed a note to the Turkish government declaring Italy considered in a state of war with Turkey and demanding his passports. The reasons given in the note are the support given by Turkey to the revolt in Lybia and the prevention of the departure of Italian consuls and citizens from Syria. Formal opening of hostilities by Italy against Turkey will mean immediate reinforcements for the allied forces operating in the Dardanelles. The Italians have a large fleet of fqst cruisers and six army corps, a total of 150,000 men at Taranto, ready to rush to Gallipoli. It is probable that this force is already on its way to the straits. Interest in Italy’s action, which brings renewed hope to the allies in the Dardanelles, at present overshadows all other elements of the war. The first report brought general rejoicing throughout England.

Mrs. Roy M. Shayne Given Divorce Saturday.

Mrs. Roy M. Shayne, formerly Miss Virginia Austin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Austin, now of Chicago, was given a divorce in Judge Morgan’s court in Chicago last Saturday. Mrs. Shayne has been an invalid for some time and was not able to appear in court and her father appeared for her. The evidence of two chauffeurs was introduced and they told of the gay life Shayne was leading. They would drive him from one case to another and he rolled them high with the woman patrons and finally would wind up in the south side “red light” district. Mrs. Shayne did not ask alimony. Her husband was a son of John T. Shayne, for many years a wealthy furrier on State street.

Drove About a Thousand Miles in Illinois Mud.

Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Barnes and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Geitzenauer returned this morning from a trip to Springfield and Mount Auburn, 111., after a drive of about a thousand miles mostly over Illinois mud roads. At Mount Auburn a reunion of the Barnes family was held last week and it proved a very enjoyable affair, although the rains kept many away. There was rain almost every day over there, the fall for the week being about 6 inches. Corn was beat down and lay flat on the ground, but very little thrashing had been done and farming conditions were bad.

Sam Pullin Has Fine Crops Near Townsend, Mont.

In renewing their subscription to The Republican Mr. and Mrs. Sam N. Pullin write as follows from Townsend, Mont.: “We can’t get along without knowing what is going on back in old Jasper. Our crops are the largest this year we have ever • had, both in hay and wheat. So far the hail storms have missed us but around Bozeman and in the mountains closer the hail did a great deal of damage.” j 1 Why do Hamilton & Kellner sell so many buggies ? - TJie word “Quality” is the answer.7"““"'

FORD WOULD OFFER WEALTH FOR PEACE

Manufacturer’s Money Will Be Given to World to Aid Movement— Preparedness Root of War.

Henry Ford’s wealth will be offered to the world to aid in peace movement to oppose the spirit of militarism in its every form and to challenge the American who shall cry for more armament for this country. “Preparedness is the root of all war,” says Mr. Ford, noted manufacturer. “I would teach the child at its mother’s knee what a horrible thing war is. In the home and in the schools of the world I would see the child taught to feel the uselessness of war; that war is a thing unnecessary; that preparation for war can only end in war. “This I will make a world work, for all the world cries for peace, and there can be no peace while there remains one set of these militaristis agitators who encourage war and who damn all those whose idea of patriotism and love of their fellow men does not call for arming brother against brother.”

Lots of Water Fell Again Friday and Saturday.

Two unneeded rains occurred here Friday and Saturday of last week and they were big rains, too. The precipitation as recorded at St- Joseph’s college was: Friday, .6 of an inch, Saturday 1.3 inches or almost two inches. Coming as it did following lighter rains of almost every day for a month there was much water left standing on the ground and ditches and the Iroquois river ran full to the banks. Sunday and today were fine days and thrashing is being resumed again in some places. Over in Pulaski county, near Francesville, it must have rained much more than it did here, as water was standing in the roads and streets near town and it is reported they had 36 hoars of heavy rain. The sky is clouding up again this afternoon and the forecast is for unsettled weather with probably showers.

Reported That Wasp Used Ship Dunsley as Shield.

According to survivors of the boat Dunsley, torpedoed by a German submarine just before the Arabic was sunk, the underwater craft hid behind the Dunsley’s unsunk hulk to lay in wait for the larger The survivors declare they had been ordered off their ship and were in lifeboats when the submarine concealed itself from the approaching Arabic. It is stated that when the liner came close enough to make an attack possible, the submarine submerged and launched the fatal torpedo. Survivors say that the German boat which came up alongside the Dunsley bore no number. No previous definite statement as to the fate of the Dunsley has come from London. It was announced that it had been torpedoed, but it had not been known whether it succeeded in reaching port with its passengers.
