Must Not Drive Across Corners of Milroy Park.

Tom Cox, keeper of the city parks, has taken great pride in the way they are kept up and it is not right that autq drivers for their convenience in making quick turns should cut across the park corners, but this has been done in Milroy park, where the west corners have especially been damaged by the machines. For the most part tourists seem to have been the violators but on some occasions residents of the city have driven across the corners. It is probable that it will be necessary to place an obstruction of some sort at the corkers but this should not be necessary so far as home people are concerned, for their pride should cause them to keep off the grass.

Simon Leopold Restored To Health Visits Rensselaer.

Simon Leopold arrived here on a night train Wednesday. He weighs 162 pounds and is the picture of excellent health, having a good color and a pair of regenerated lungs. Simon wae attacked with a hacking cough while conducting the Model Clothing Store. He tried to work and get rid of the cough, but failed. He went to a sanitarium in Illinois and improved very little. Finally he went to the Woodmen sanitarium at Colorado Springs, Colo., where he has spent several months. His cough is gone, his color restored, his weight increased and he feels as Simon pure as he did before the T. B. infection had attacked his -lungs. He says that every member of the Modern Woodmen of America should be proud that lie is a member of the order, for they are maintaining a wonderful institution in Colorado and hundreds of lives are saved by it. Mrs. I<eopold and Miss Selma, who went to Colorado Springs some time ago are still there and Simon is undecided just what he will do, the sanitarium doctors regarding it not alto- , gether safe to leave the Colorado climate permanently. There is not much to do, however, in Colorado, because there are so many ‘Hungers” as they call those who are there for their health, who are willing to work for little or nothing while there. The sanitarium doctors have the treatment divided on the following basis, 50 per cent rest, 40 per cent diet and 10 per cent climate. Simon was strong for the rest, liked the climate and submitted with some protest to the diet, as he had always been in the habit of eating about everything he pleased.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter White live at Colorado Springs, and he is a traveling salesman and getting along fine. Walter has become fat, almost as bad a Shape, according to Mr. Leopold, as the Republican editor. In Denver Simon called on Tom Mullen, formerly of Remington. Tom has also accumulated flesh since he located in Colorado. He is the proprietor of the Mullen Kodak Supply Co., of Denver, and is doing a nice business. Simon became well acquainted at Colorado Springs with Ernest Nowels, son of Ezra Nowels and formerly of this city. Ernest is the city editor of the leading paper of Colorado Springs and is a hustler. The many friends of Mr. Leopold will be rejoiced that he has made such splendid improvement and hope that he will eventually he able to make Rensselaer his home again.

Parked the Automobiles A La City of Indianapolis.

Indianapolis recently decided to adopt the same kind of boulevard lights used in Rensselaer and as a measure of reciprocity Rensselaer has decided to adopt the method of automobile parking used in Indianapolis, that is, to head the machine in to the right side at about a 45 degree angle. They can then be backed out without trouble and there is no lost space as there is when the cars are backed in at right angles with the street. The plan was tried at the band concert Wednesday night and worked very satisfactorily and all seemed to like the plan and it is.pmbable that an ordinance will be adopted requiring. all- stops ok certain streets to be made after this fashion. A great big crowd heard the band concert Wednesday evening. It was a fine concert and many rounds of applause greeted the musicians after each number. Our people are strong for our band and their appreciation is shown by the great crowds that gather every concert night.

Young German Man Charged As Being a German Spy.

Gustav Kopsch, a young German employed as an instrument maker by the Carnegie institute in Washington, was arrested Wednesday by agents of the department of justice charged with violating the federal law for protection of the national defenses by making pictures of military reservations. He will be tried in Norfolk by the U. S. district court. According to officers he had in his possession photographs of the fortifications and guns at Fortress Monroe and of the reservation at Cape Henry, Va. Kopsch returned last week after a vacation of twenty days. He had been under surveilance the latter part of the time. The arrested prisoner made no explanation for taking the pictures.

T. R. Flays War Attitude Of the United States.

In a speech to the citizen soldiers of the Plattsburg instruction camp Wednesday night, Theodore Roosevelt declared that for thirteen months the United States had palyed an “ignoble .part among nations,” in that it had tamely submitted to seeing the weak, whom we had convenanted to protect, wronged. We had seen our men, women and children murdered on the high seas without action on our part. He scorned our government for not taking the slightest step in making preparations for war. He condemned Germany in not allowing munitions to be sent to the armies trying to restore Belgium to its own people. IJe said that munition merchants who refused to make such shipments should be put on a “rol lof dishonor.”

Edison’s Sight Periled By Error of Assistant.

While experimenting Wednesday in an effort to eliminate odors from one of his chemical plants at Silver Lake, N. J., Thomas A. Edison narrowly escaped an impairment of his eyesight when a quantity of potash was thrown into his face as a result of the error of an assistant. It was stated Wednesday night that Mr. Edison had suffered no further effects of the accident than a severe smarting of the eyes tod had resumed work. The fact that his solution was weak and that quick steps were immediately taken to counteract the effect of the chemical probably prevented a permanent injury to Mr. Edison’s eyes.

He is Active and That Is a Good Indication.

If Henry-A. Roberts, of Carmel, does not receive the republican nomination for state statistician it won’t he because he did not start soon enough, work hard enough, lack acquaintance or receive plenty of newspaper endorsement. Henry is right after the job with both feet and his legion of friends over Indiana seem a unit in promoting his candidacy. Several weeks ago while in Rensselaer, where he makes regular trips as a traveling salesman, he notified The Republican that he was after the job. Since then his announcement has been made from about every section of Indiana and every newspaper has something good to say. He Has many good qualities. He is a newspaperman and lets his wife run the paper and it is some paper. He is a traveling salesman and sells so many overalls that half the blue denim crowd in the state wears his product. He is big in stature and when he grabs your hand you know that a full-sized man has you in his grasp, hut he don’t squeeze, he simply says: “I'm a candidate,” and a little pressure of his thumb gives the fellow with the other mit a sort of heart throb that causes him to say, “I’m for Henry.” So far he has a batting average of 1000 per cent in the matter of attending republican picnics and love feasts and he always makes it convenient tojvisit that particular section of his territory where the picnic is held just in time to get a page full of overall orders. The wrier sat at the same table with him at the recent chicken dinner and rally at Cedar Lake./ Henry can punish as much friend chicken and more roasting ears than any fellow we ever saw and there is a rumor that a secret order of hotel managers has been formed to boost his cani'dacy as a means of protection against loss when he stops at their hotel.

In Chicago a few weeks ago Henry attended a banquet at the press club given by editors of the tenth Indiana district. Some one asked him: “What are the duties of the office of state Statistician ?” “I don’t know,” replied Henry, “but I know what the salary is.” This proves him to be a very frank candidate. Many men who are seeking office claim to know everything there is to know and act as though they wanted to get the office solely for the benefit they would he to mankind, but Henry, who is statistically wise and thoroughly able to handle the job, comes right out flatfooted (he’s just a little flat-footed anyway) and says he is after the “cush” and we like him for it. If theT editor of The Republican has anything to do with it Henry A. Roberts will be the next statistician of Indiana and when we go to Indianapolis we will hunt him up and let him pay for our din-' ner. Readers please keep the name of Henry A. Roberts in mind and some day you are apt to see a fellow who is about six inches taller than any one else in town and you can walk up to him and say, “Henry, you’re all right and I’m going to vote for you if the democrats don’t pass some law to disfranchise me before the next election rolls around.”

Ellis Theatre.

“The best yet” was the general verdict of the plays so far presented by the Comeli-Price Players after the performance of “The Sins of the Mother.” There was a good audience present and both play and specialties were given a hearty appreciation. Tonight the company will present the feature play of the week, “The Traffic.” This play is unusually strong, and deals with the white slave traffic and teaches a lesson long to be remembered. iSpecialties will be introduced between the acts as usual. Owing to the nature of the play no boys or girls under 16 years of age will be admitted unless accompanied by parents or older escort. Owing to the high royalty paid for the use of this play the prices for this perform-, ance 'only will be 25, 35 and 50 cents. Tomorrow night the rural comedydrama, “When Reuben. Comes to Town” will be the attraction.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS SLAYING OF PASTOR

Body of Gary Minister Found in Yard At Parsonage—Minister Was Pro-German.

Rev. Edmund Kayser, of the St. John’s German Evangelical church in a lonely part of Tolleston, a suburb of Gary, was mysteriously murdered at the parsonage Tuesday night. Rev. Kayser was one of the pro-German leaders of the steel city. His body was found in a vacant lot adjoining his home. Around his neck were two curtain strings and one of the wrists was tied with a Two bullets, one of which ploughed down into his lung, are given as the cause of his death. The minister’s family was visiting in Michigan and he was alone at the house. A bullet through the living room window and curtain showed that the assassin first attempted to commit the crime from the street. The shot embedded itself in the door. There was probably a struggle in the living room. Another hole in the woodwork showed that a second shot was fired. The condition of the furniture in the kitchen and pantry alho showed evidence of a struggle in those rooms. While in the pantry he was probably fatally shot. The police ‘believe that he then ran to the side of the house in an attempt to reach his nearest-neighbor a half block away. Thirty feet beyond the house and near the sidewalk he dropped, where his wounds were such as to cause his death in a short time.

Rev. Kayser was loudly outspoken in the German cause. Besides the few German families which make up the immediate neighborhood there are mostly foreign steel workers. After working all day the police found three possible motives for the crime. They are stated as follows: That his outspoken advocacy of th j German cause and denunciation of the policy of the United States government inspired some fanatic to murder him. That the minister was slain because of a quarrel with one of his real estate clients. That there is a woman in the case.

It is said by the postmaster of Gary that for some time the minister had made complaints to him of receiving threatening letters most all in the same handwriting. He had suspected a steel worker but the man proved his innocence. Some think that there was a woman in the case. A woman who also made complaint to the postmaster received letters of the same nature and in the same handwriting. They were written in German. The Rev. Mr. Kayser was a native of Germany. Be had a charge in Chesterton, east of Gary, for several years. Prior to that he lived in Michigan. He leaves a widow and three “young children. Sheriff Whitaker, a former resident of Jasper county, is taking charge •of the case and bloodhounds have been put on the trail .for the murderers. The parson's house is roped off for 200 yards around so that observers will not spoil any tracks.

SALTS IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT Flush the Kidneys At Once When Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part' of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is "cloudy, ocensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then 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 flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

New Suit Filed. Earl Adams'v?. Joseph Adams, appointment of guardian. W. H. Parkinson, attorney for the plaintiff. The Lafayette Journal heads an editorial: “The Irresponsible Jitney.” Reference is made to the automobiles that have been so active in that city ever since the Wabash river bridge was washed out some three years ago. The writer and others to whom we have talked have ridden on some of the jitney busses in Lafayette and you really get a very hazardous ride at about any time you get in a jitney. They are irresponsible, they pay nothing toward road construction or upkeep, pay little or no taxes and m exent that some one is injured by their reckless driving there is no responsible person from whom to expect reparation. An accident occurred in Lafayette Tuesday that resulted in the serious injury of two passengers ana the painful injury of a third.

Rex Clifton was down from Parr today and brought to The Republican office several very large apples which his mother, Mrs. Theo. Warne, had sent down. The largest of five apples weighed 15% ounces and each of the others weighed over 12 ounces. They are good cooking apples and when very ripe are good eating apples. It don’t take very many of them to make a bushel, while an apple dumpling from one would make two or three good meals. *ryan"ditchT There was a meeting of a number of the petitioners for the Ryan Ditch at the law office of George A. Williams in Rensselaer, last Saturday. It was the opinion of those present to fight for the RYAN DITCH to a finish. THE RYAN DITCH is not dead, as has been circulated, but will come up for hearing at the coining September term of court. All those who were or are in favor of this proceeding should stand by the same and not sign any petition which would tend to defeat or delay the same. THE RYAN DITCH can be established this fall and construction work begun by next spring if there be no serious litigation. WILLIAMS and FOLTZ, / Attorneys for Petitioners.
