PART OF CO. M HAS LONG TRAIN RIDE

Got On Wrong Car At Indianapolis Speedway and Are Carried to Limedale. At 6 o’clock this Tuesday morning about ten members of Company M, who attended the military tournament at Indianapolis, arrived home, while the rest of the company were “enjoying” a trip io Limedale, about 30 miles west of Indianapolis. When the company left the speedway Monday they were told to entrain on a certain car and this they did, but the car rightfully belonged to a Bloomington company. The car arrived in Indianapolis about 7 o’clock last evening and was to wait until 1:45 to come to Rensselaer with the night train. There being about seven hours to wait, most of the boys went up town. At about 12 o’clock about two-thirds of the fellows were back in the car, which began switching about that time. It was thought by them that the car was being put on the Monon tracks but it was hooked onto a Vandalia train and started for Limedale before anyone on the car knew what was happening. Those on the train included Lieut. Watson and Sergeants Morgan and Nowels, while Captain Tuteur with the transportation for the boys was with the other third of the company which came home on he train which arrives here at about 5 o’clock and which all should have come on. Those who went south will arrive home at 3:31 this afternoon. All the guns and rolls and other equipment belonging to the members was on the train that went south.

YOUNG MAN BROWNED IN KANKAKEE RIVER

During Storm of Saturday Night He Drove From Grade at Thayer Bridge—Body Recovered. Russell Shorb, a young farm hand, 18 years of age, was drowned in the Kankakee river some time Saturday evening. The accident occurred at the Thayer bridge, near Ben Fogli’s, but the drowning was not discovered until late Sunday morning. Shorb worked for Cass Cross, near Shelby. It seems that young Shorb left Thayer about 10 o’clock Saturday evening and this was the last seen of him alive. It is presumed that during the heavy storm of Saturday evening he became blinded, as it was plainly evident that he had driven directly off the grade at the place where the drowning occurred. John McDowell, while walking along the highway Sunday morning, discovered the ears of a horse sticking up above the surface of the water. Securing assistance he found the horse was hitched to the buggy and upon removing the buggy from the river, the lifeless body of iSilorb was found. Coroner Best was called and gave a verdict of accidental drowning. A message was sent to his widowed mother, who lives near New Philadelphia, Ohio. An undertaker arrived Monday and the body was shipped to Ohio for burial. The deceased had made his home in Indiana for the past 18 months.

LINER HESPERIAN GOES TO BOTTOM

Makes Vain Effort to Reach Queenstown After Being Topedoed By Submarine. Queenstown, September 6.-One first cabin passenger, six second cabin passenger and six third class passengers on the Hesperian are unaccounted for, according to a statement made this afternoon by the Allan line agent here. A woman’s body has been identified as that of Miss Carberry, probably of Newfoundland. London, September 6.-The Allan line steamer Hesperian, torpedoed Saturday evening by a submarine, sank at 6:45 o’clock this, morning within a few miles of Queenstown, 'after Captain Main and a volunteer rescue crew of twenty-five had made a brave fight to bring the crippled ship into port. During the night the Hesperian settled gradually by the head. Daylight showed the decks awash and the liner about to take the final plunge. The captain and crew were taken off by rescue boats and landed later in Queenstown by the steamer Empress. The sinking of the Hesperian in deep Water probably will prevent an investigation to determine whether the disaster resulted from a submarine’s torpedo or a mine. Passengers and crew assert positively that the vessel was struck by a torpedo, but no statement has been obtained from any one who saw a submarine or a torpedo The list of identified survivors still leaves a considerable number of persons unaccounted for. The Allan line is confident the final checking up will show no loss of life, except for the death of one or two .persons after reaching Queenstown.

WHEATFIELD VOTES FOR STONE ROAD

Election Last Saturday Was Almost Unanimous In Favor of the Road. The A. S. Barlow stone road election in Wheatfield township, was held last Saturday. Only a light vote was polled but the project carried by a handsome majority, the vote being 117 for and 17 against. The length of the new road will be two and a half miles and is estimated to cost $9,409.70. It connects with improved roads already constructed. The road was badly needed, as there is considerable hauling, much of the heavy loads consisting of baled hay, which had cut the present road up pretty badly and hade hauling difficult.

Myrt Takes a Trip and Gets His Timepiece Plucked —Almost.

Myrt B. Price made a businestf*brip to Monticello Friday and on the retrip to Rensselaer fell asleep, and in the meantime some slick-fingered person made away with Myrt’s watch. Myrt, however, left the train when it reached here without knowing of his loss. The watch was found later 'by the conductor in another seat, where the pickpocket, who had probably become conscience stricken, had put it in. order that it might be found by its rightful owner. The watch w'as returned to Billy Frye, who, after some inquiry, was able to find out to whom it belonged. In the future we imagine that Myrt will carry his Waterbury suspended from a log chain when he goes visiting.

U. S. MAY DEMAND DUMBA'S RECALL

German Consul at New York and Vienna’s Attache in America May Also Have to Depart. Washington, Sept. 6.—The text of the Dumba letter, obtained from London tonight, leaves no doubt in the minds of the officials here that the president must act vigorously against the representatives of the AustroHungarian empire in his country. They anticipate: 1. The voluntary retirement of Ambassador Dumba or a request by this government that he be recalled by the Emperor of Austria-Hungary. 2. The withdrawal of Alexander Nuber von Pereked, Austra-Hungar-ian consul general in New York, or the cancellation of his exequatur by the government at Washington. 3. The voluntary departure of Captain Franz von Papen, German military attache, or a request by this government that Germany recall him. 4. The prosecution of all persons involved in the project to foment strikes in munition factories.

The state department expects that M. Dumb?. will confirm the authenticity of the letter attributed to him. He already has done so in the public prints, and his explanation, to put it mildly, has increased the gravity of his predicament. But the letter itself is the chief evidence against the ambassador and the consul general in New York. It shows there were negotiations on to precipitate strikes, that these negotiations were conducted by the AustroHungarian consul general and that they received the apprdval of the Aus-tro-Hungarian ambassador, who requested his government to approve the project determined upon. The object in view was two-fold, as follows: 1. Disorganization of the munitions industry through strikes; failing which, 2. Creation of a crisis as a result of which more favorable working conditions could be Obtained for the employes.

DO YOU KNOW GEO. P. DITMAR?

Baby Is At Point of Death and Wife Is Unable to Locate Him. Two weeks ago a letter came to The Republican office addressed to Geo. P. Dittmar, care of The Republican. It was from Chicago, and the return card on the envelope showed the letter to be from his wife. The letter was held by The Republican for a week on the supposition that the addressee would turn up, but as he did not it was returned to the postoffice with instructions to return it to the writer unless called for.

Today a letter came to The Republican from Mrs. Wittmar asking if we could give any information as to the whereabouts of her - husband, as their baby is not expected to live and she is unable to locate him. Inquiry at the postoffice disclosed the fact that Mr. Dittmar had not called for his mail and that the letter from his wife was still there waiting for the limit prescribed for returning same. The letter was returned to Mrs. Dittmar today with the information that her husband has not been seen here. Dittmar is a printer and if he should be working on any of the neighboring papers a kindness would be done to him and his wife if he was informed of the serious condition of his baby. The letter from Mrs. Dittmar follows; „ Chicago, Hl., Sept. 4, 1915.—Editor Republican: Will you please let me know whether my husband, Geo. P. Dittmar, has applied for work on your paper within the last two weeks. He left here August 21st to look for work and with intentions of calling on you first. I have not heard from him although I sent a letter addressed to him, care of the Republican, and it been returned so far. His baby is not expected to live. Am very anxious to locate him. —Mrs. Geo. P. Dittmar, 2619 Calumet Ave., Chicago, Ill.”

CHAUTAUQUA HAS GROWN IN INTEREST

Large Crowds Present Monday Both Afternoon and Evening—Fine Music and Lectures. .* * «»*■■■■■« Tomorrow’s Program. Morning—Junior Chautauqua. Afternoon—Emerson Winters Co.; The Great Sam Jones Lecture, “Facts, Philosophy and Fun,” Denton C. Crowl. Admission, 15 and 35 cents. Children’s Hour —At the playground. Night—Musical prelude, Epperson Winters Co. Magic, Mystery and Fun by Edwin Brush. Admission, 15 and 35 cents? AFTERNOON. Those who attended the chautauqua Monday afternoon found literary and musical treats awaiting them as usual. The tent was well filled and everyone present seemed to greatly enjoy themselves. During the first period of the program the crowd was entertained by the Arcadian Trio. Their work was of the highest order.’ The gentleman of the company gave 1 a trombone solo. This was followed, by a reading by Miss Morrison, which ' was unique as well as interesting, in I that she accompanied her own reading with the piano. Piano and violin solos of an amusing and highly interesting character were also played. This part of the program Was closed by a baritone solo and a duet. The last period of the afternoon was . given over to Dr. Hedley’s lecture:, “The Worth of a Man.” The speaker, said in part: “The worth of a man is ; measured by character, nothing else; character is righteousness. There is no such thing as bad character. A person who is bad has no character. Character is the one thing that puts meaning into one’s words. The only Heaven one can possibly get hold of here or hereafter is in one’s heart and to possess this one murt have strong character.” He said further: “Persistence and righteousness are the chief cornerstones of a sound character. The fire of ten thousand passions can make nothing of a man unless he have persistence and righteousness. As a man lives so does he look and act.” He also pointed out that the worth of a man was measured by love, which is simply an attribute of character. Taken all in all it was a masterful address, given in the most exact and high flowing language.

,• EVENING. During the evening session the work of the Arcadian Trio was probably more interesting than that of the afternoon. Their program consisted of various kinds of music and stories of different countries. The songs were characteristic of the countries and people from whom they have been handed down. They were very interesting. A reading by Miss Morrison, “The Snake Story,” was an excellent portrayal of child life, imagination and habits. It would be hard to imagine a better picture of these traits of character in children than was given in this reading. The Arcadian Trio is one of the best small companies to which we have had the pleasure of listening. The last number on the evening program was a reading by Miss Kling entitled: “Regeneration,” which is a story of modern renditions and the regeneration of a criminal. In the story it is brought out that there is always a little good in everyone, no matter how bad they may be; that there is always a soft spot in every heart, no matter how hardened, that this good may be reached and brought out or the soft spot touched if we only follow the right ladder of approach. In this reading Miss Kling depicted in a wonderful way the eleven different characters. Her power of portrayal of character is wonderful. Everyone present “was deeply impressed by her excellent presentation of this play.

GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR KIDNEYS HURT

Eat Less Meat If Yon Feel Backachy Or Have Bladder Trouble. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels, removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sic dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases.
