Hartley Redding A Pretty Home Affair.

One of our prettiest and most popular young ladies was married Wednesday when Miss Anna Roselma Hartley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Hartley, became the bride of Dr. Gerald Dorris Strong, a dentist of Homer, Mich. It was a pretty home wedding and was attended only by the immediate families and a very few friends. The house decorations consisted of French flower baskets filled with pink and white flowers and smilax and the itinmg room was decorated with white roses and smilax and lighted with pink candles. (Miss Hartley wore a dress, of pink taffeta with an overdress of white net and a corsage bouquet of white roses and lillies of the valley. The ceremony was pronounced by Dr. Paul C. Curaick, of Trinity M. E. church. The bride’s traveling suit was of dark navy ‘blue with a black and white picture hat.

Following the ceremony a wedding dinner was served and Dr. and Mrs. Strong left on the 2:51 train for Chicago and will go from there to Detroit and Niagara Falls on a weddifig trip and then return to Ann Arbor, where Dr. Strong wijl be an assistant instructor in the dental school of the University of Michigan from which he graduated with high honors in June. After one year in this work he will engage in practice, but has not yet decided on a location. They will at once begin housekeeping at Ann Arbor, where a nicely furnished 5room cottage awaits them. Friends at the station, largely members of the Girls’ Sew Club, gave them a rice shower as they departed. The out-of-town guests at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. D. Strong, father and mother of the groom, of Homer, Mkh.; Mrs. C. A. Wood, grandmother of the bride, of Kentland; and Miss Myra Peck, of Remington. Since coming to Rensselaer witn her parents three years ago Mias Hartley has become a great favorite with the young people of her set and has taken an active part in their social affairs. She has also been a member of the choir of the Methodist church and a teacher in the Sunday School and will be much missed in the church work. All of her friends join in' expressing thetfr very best -washes to Dr. and Mrs. Strong for a happy married life.

THIRD REGIMENT IS FACING DEFEAT

“War in Indiana” Plans Include Defeat of Force to Which Rensselaer Company Belongs. % \ It is not often-that an army is informed a week in advance of predestined defeat and the exact manner of its accomplishment, but such is the experience of the third regiment, Indiana National Guard, and Battery A, of Indianapolis, which have been designated by officers of the army to occupy the entrenched position in the great war spectacle at Indianapolis on Monday and meet .he attack of the most complete and varied fighting force ever assembled in America, a force at least three times the numerical strength and having even more of a preponderence of strength by reason of the modem implements of warfare which they will include.

Arrayed against this one lone regiment of infantry and one battery of artillery will be two regiments of infantry, 2nd, and provisional regiments,, two batteries of artillery, B of Purdue University, and C of the city of Lafayette, seven troops of cavalry, including Troop B, sth U. S. cavalry, troops of Ohio cavalry from Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo, and the Black Horse troop from Culver Military Academy, a squadron of aeroplanes for scouting and dropping bombs, a squadron of armored cars, built by the Pathfinder Motor Car Co., and armed with Gatling guns, a motorcycle corps, a company of bicycle scouts and an engineer battalion from Culver, who will conrtruct bridges to cross streams, demolish villages as the attack advances and operate trench mortars and land mines to be'fired by electricity. It is safe to say that even the large maneuvers of the regular army have never seen so complete a force as will attack the third regiment Monday, but its officers and men are cheerful and have not even made their wills. The schedule prepared by officers of the army provides for the opening of the battle by a scouting expedition of the aeroplane squadron to discover the exact position of the defending force. This will be followed by an artillery duel between eight modem field guns of the attacking force and the four guns vith the third regiment. The infantry of the attack will then advance until its skirmishers meet the outposts of the defenders and the entire line of the attack will move forward until the line of wire entanglements is passed and the first line of trenches is reached, the defenders falling back to their second line of trenches. The defenders, from their second ine of trenches, will make a counter attack with fixed bayonets but will be overwhelmed by a flank attack of the seven troops of cavalry and the armored cans. The spectacle will conclude with the “Star Spangled Banner,” played by "The Great White Band,” a monster organization of 200 musicians from southern Indiana cities and the three regimental bands of 28 men each, a meet fitting finale to the most spectacular war production ever attempted in America. In the production of this spectacle will be used 336,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 30,000 rounds for Gatling guns, 300 rounds of artillery ammunition and 500 pounds of giant powder for the land mines and bridge and village destruction. Meanwhile the third regiment is serene, accepting as a compliment its selection to meet such a varied mid overwhelming force and accepts its assignment gracefully.

Little Daughter of Harvey Waling Severely Burned.

Blanche, the 4-year-old doughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Waling, 1% mules east of Brook, was severely and perhaps fatally burned* Wednesday when she tried to carry a lighted side lamp of a carriage. The little one caught hold of the lantern with her drees which caught fire and she was frightfully burned about the Side, chert, arm and face. Her uncle, Arthur Mayhew, who was in town Wednesday, reported that she was unconscious and death seemed quite likely.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1915.

SHOW PARADE WAS VERY FINE DISPLAY

Gentry Bros.’ Aggregation Visits Rensselaer and Was One of Best Ever Seen Here. The circus parade that inspired James Whitcomb Riley to write his' onderful poem thus entitled could not have had it on the one given in Rensselaer today by Gentry Brothers, whose circus is here for performances this afternoon and tonight. This wonderful show is the greatest of its kind in the world and rarely makes cities as small as Rensselaer,but quarantines caused by the hoof and mouth disease have prevented them from showing in several counties where they had originally been booked and this occasion the visit to Rensselaer.

The parade was a magnificent one. Fine big horses, shapely and well groomed ponies, gayly dressed riders, vari-colored cage wagons, funny clowns, two rteam caliopes, two bands, monkeys, camels, elephants, lions and dogs of almost every kind composed one of the most attractive parades ever seen in this city and there was a good crowd in town to see it. Known for many years as the premier of all dog and pony shows Gentry's has branched out and invaded the big circus field and it is always welcomed in the large cities, where it is usually exhibited. The Republican feels certain that every person who attends it will feel amply repaid and cheerfully gives it endorsement as one of the best shows on the road. If you go you will get more real good show for the money than you ever had before.

A RENSSELAER CITIZEN COMES TO THE FRONT

Tells His Friends and Neighbors of His Experience. Every resident of Rensselaer should read what a neighbor says. His testimony can be relied upon.- Here are his own words: Jacob R. Wilcox, Dayton St., Rensselaer, says: “I had pains through my loins and was in misery day and night. I always felt tired and wornout and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement. The cure has been permanent.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Wilcox had. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

LOTS OF MONEY IN JASPER COUNTY

LOTS OF MONEY IN JASPER COUNTY Oats and Wheat Double Normal Year and Prospect Good For Corn If Frost Holds Off. Cheer up. The pessimist should have a bad time in Jasper county this fall. The discouragements of the past two months seem to have largely been overcome and the hum of the thrasher the past two weeks has enabled many to get their small grain safely harvested and the prospect is encouraging that others will also be able to save much of the crop that latter July and early August threatened to destroy. \

A merchant told of an incident that occurred recently. It was a rainy day and followed other rainy days and an extensive farmer said that his crop was a total ruin and indicated that everything had gone to rack or ruin. Three weeks later he had thrashed his wheat and oats. The former made 43 bushels to the acre and he sold it for a dollar a bushel. The oats made 80 bushels to the acre and had been sold for 35 cents a bushel. This is fully twice the money that has been procured .from similar crops in the history of the county. It means that there is twice the money in Jasper county if the grain caJn all be thrashed and marketed and it has been discovered that much of the wheat which was pronounced ruined is bringing at least 70 cents a bushel. Oats have been up to 35 cents and many sold at that figure. Now the price is 27 cents, which is as much or more than is usually offered for new oats. Many fields that have been raising from 20 to 35 bushels per acre are this year turning out from 50 to 85. All above the normal is “velvet.’V Many acres of com have been browned out, but to offset this there will be com on high ground thpt usually is dried out or produces very little. The wet weather has produced a marvelous growth and the biggert ears we have ever seen are hanging heavy from the Strong stalks. True, there is a devastated look when one sees a strip of low ground where the water stood, but there are vast acres that are not damaged and that will add to the great wealth of Jasper county if— The frost holds off. Merchants should make plans to attract business as never before and should begin now to advertise in the local papers as they never have before. This will make Rensselaer enjoy a wider field of patronage and produce a condition of prosperity in which every business will share. We depend upon the crops the farmers raise and the prices they set for them. The crops and the prices are here. The business is forthcoming if we do our part to get it. %

Drove Stake Through Cable; Crippled Telephones.

About 150 telephones in the east part of town were put out of service for a time Wednesday as a result of driving a stake through a cable in the rear Of the telephone office. Sam Stevens, who has the contract for the new brick Street, caused a stake to ae driven into the ground and it pierced the conduit for the telephone cable and severed about 150 pairs of wires. While the telephones were out of commission a gasoline stove at the lome of Chas. W. Platt, caused some trouble and an effort was made to turn in an alarm but the Platt phone was one of those that was out of commission and central could not he reached. The fire was smothered oUt.

GERMANY GRANTS U. S. DEMANDS

German Ambassador Notifies Lansing No More Liners Will Be Sunk Without Warning. Strained relations between the United States and Germany over submarine warfare apparently passed into history Wednesday after Count von BemStorff, the German ambassador, informed Secretary Lansing in writing that prior to the sinking of the Arabic his government had decided that its submarines should Sink no more liners without warning. Oral assurances to this effect had Veen given by the ambassador last week, but it was not until the call at the State house Wednesday, returned to the embassy and sent a letter to Mr. Lansing quoting instructions from .Berlin concerning an answer to be made to the last American note on the sinking of the Lusitania that officials frankly admitted their gratification over the changed position of the imperial government. The next step, it is stated, authoritatively, will be a formal communication from the German government disavowing the destruction of the Arabic and tendering regret and reparation for American lives lost in the disaster if the attack was made by a German submarine. Even if the submarine which torpedoed the liner subsequently was sunk by a British man of war, as has been suggested both from Berlin and London, the Berlin foreign office is expected to send its disavowal as soon as a reasonable time has passed without a report from its commander.

Won Tennis Matches With Chalmers Players.

Clyde and William Raub, of Chalmers, came to Rensselaer yesterday and were given a beating at the hands of the local tennis team. Dr. Howell, who is one of their best players, was unable to come because' of sickness in his family. The Chalmers players, who are coudins, could not keep the pace set by the players here. In the doubles match Babcock and Englirii won in two sets 6-1 and 6-1. After this match a series of singles were played. Healey won from Clyde Raub 6-2 and 6-3. Dean won from William Raub 6-2 and 6-1, and Clyde Raub won the last set of the day from Babcock 6-1. The Chalmers players were not in the best form and promise to put up a harder game the next time we meet them, which will probably be some time next week. The interest in tennis is now at a high pitch and not only are a large number playing but a number of those for whom the tennis days are past are watching the games with interest. The only thing that is lacking now is a shortage of courts. Almost enough money has been subscribed to build three courts but a place close to the center of town can not be found. If anyone has any suggestion of a place they should make it known. At least a five year lease mu-t be secured on any lot obtained to build the courts on. If a place can be secured and the courts built yet this year they will be hardened and in fine shape next spring while allowing some playing on them this fall.

LOUIS JAMISON SHOT IN THE LEG

Man Who Resisted Arrest Saturday Night Said •to Hare Bullet in Limb—Denies Aid. It is reliably reported that Louis Jamison, the man who escaped from Constable J. W. Childers last Saturday night and who was fired at by the officer, lies at his home in the old Sharon neighborhood 7 miles southeast of town, with a bullet in one leg and that a big pistol lies at his side and that he defies anyone to take him. Jamison is a Russian, his wife is a mute, and apparently he is subject to mental disturbance when angered. Last spring he refused to remove from one of the Amsler farms and threatened to shoot any person who tried to force him out. He moved to the Sharon neighborhood and larft week a neighbor informed Prosecutor Sands that he had beaten his wife and one of his children. The warrant for his arrest was issued as told in a previous issue of this paper. When arrested by Constable Childers he made pretense of seeing some one and when he reached the street south of Worden’s harness shop he broke loose and ran away. Officer Childers called to him to halt and when he did stop fired into the ground. He fired in the ground three times and when the man did not stop fired once in his direction, aiming to strike him below the knees. His aim was good, for it is said he has a bullet in his leg and a bad wound, but he has not called a physician and is said to be in need of one but afraid that he will be arrested. It is reported that he not only has a large revolver at the side of his bed but has four or five other guns, all loaded and awaiting mi effort of officers to arrest him.

As previously related Jamison in his flight went west at the Bar! Duvall residence and evidently took shelter in a (died in the rear of some of the houses in that block and apparently it was he who took a bicycle belonging to John Jenkinson, who lives in the old Platt property, for the machine was missed that night and word has been received that it was abandoned and left at the aide of the road near Jamison’s home. There is a pathetic side to the Jamison case, and there is no intention of the officers, Mr. Sands says, to prosecute him if he is not guilty of any further wrong doing. He evidently regards himself as a hunted heart and is determined to fight to the last ditch to protect himself. That he is a bad man when maddened here is no doubt and it would probably be dangerous for any officer to go near him, but if he is in need of medical or surgical attention some effort should be made for him to receive it.
