SON OF OLD FRIEND RETURNS FROM ABROAD

Mrs. J. J. Montgomery Receives Interesting Account of Visit to Europe of J. R. Pauli.

(Mrs. J. J. Montgomery is in receipt of a letter from a friend in Tauton, Mass., which enclosed a long article describing the experiences and impressions of John R. Pauli during a recent visit in Europe. Mr. Pauli is a young man and a law student of Harvard University. His mother was a girlhood friend of Mrs. Montgomery at Rockford, 111. Young Pauli went abroad as a tutor with a wealthy family and was offorded an excellent opportunity to study the effects of the great war upon the nations of the continent.

He was in Paris on one occasion when German Zeppelins raided the city and when as a warning of the visit fire engines rushed through the streets all took to the basements after lights had been extinguished. After an hour the Zeppelins departed and all emerged from the basements. Several houses were destroyed by bombs and one death resulted on that visit.

Mr. Pauli made two trips to Italy during the several months spent abroad. On his first visit he found many Italians pro-German but after that country entered the war he visited it again and everywhere the people were bitter against the Germans and Austrians and confident that Italy would be victorious. In Rome and other cities in Italy business moved along serenely and was little affected by the war, but in Paris and London things were greatly upset. There were very few young-men in Taris, most all having gone to the front. Many hotels had been turned into hospitals and thousands of maimed were being treated, while almost every person wore a band of black in respect to some relative lost in the great war. Paris is no longer the gay city it was. Few of the great cases are open and are very serious and while confident of ultimate success are aware that it will take a long time. Troops are training everywhere in France and England. In London no lights are allowed at night except where jlinds are'drawn while no lights at all are allowed in coast towns.

Mr. Pauli said that he heard of few, if any, stories of German atrocities. France was grateful to England for its part in the war. Everywhere was a grave uncertainty as to the outcome. He found Italy the most fascinating of the countries and his party was granted an audience with Pope Benedict XV. Vatican rules require that all who appear before the Pope be dressed in evening costume, tall hats and white gloves. He was received mots cordially and was guided through the Vatican building and grounds, including a visit to the art museum. The sentiment in the Vatican is a great horror for war and a deep feeing of the terrible disaster that invades Europe. On the return trip made bn a French vessel no incidents were recorded, but through the war zone the port holes were stopped and the vessel was prepared for the emergency of attack. Wfiile Mr. Pauli is not known here and Mrs. Montgomery had seen him only as a little boy, the experiences he had and which ■ were so well reported in a Taunton paper, will prove very interesting, we feel sure, to all readers of The Republican.

Wealthy Lafayette Man Scratched by Leopard.

Leopold Dryfus, one of Lafayette’s wealthiest business men, is suffering from a badly lacerated arm, the result of trying to feed wild animals in a circus which was showing there. Dryfus, who conducts a packing plant and several meat markets, was feeding fresh meat to a leopard, when the animal stuck its paw through the cage and tore his arm open from the shoulder to the wrist. He was badly frightened and is from a nervous shock.

Assessed, Value of Lands In Jasper and Other Counties.

County Assessor Thornton has furnished us the following comparative list bf the average valuation of lands in this and some other counties: Jasper $25.69 White 28.96 Newton 30.53 Benton 56.00 Warren 40.98 Kosciusco 31.19 St. Joseph’s 34.16 Jackson . 19.09 Of course there is a considerable acreage of poor land in this county, thus reducing the average, but even then the assessment in this county is considerably lower than in White, Newton or Benton.

RENSSELAER GIRL WRITES FROM CUBA

Miss Grace Peyton Is Now at Palma Soriento Where She Will Teach In Mission House.

Palma Soriana, Ote., Sept. 8, 1915. To The Republican Editor, Dear Sir: Only today I reached what I hope shall be my dwelling place for the next two years, that is, the town —my new mission house is not yet completed. % I have spent a lovely summer in El Cristo,' where there are a number of American families. Cristo is the coolest spot on the isalnd and during the summer is full of business and school people, as well as missionaries, spending their vacations, tl is also the center of the Baptist missionary work in this half of the island—hence a number of Americans are located there. We are very proud of our El Cristo college of five buildings; also a good church there and good houses for the missionaries. I am sure anyone in Rensselaer would enjoy a summer in Cristo as much as I have mine. The mountains make it far more pleasant than Indiana. The thermometer passed 90 only three or four days this summer. At present I am staying with the pastor’s family in Palma and speaking Spanish (?) continually. They are lovely people as are all the Cuban Christians and any of the others. My regular school work has not yet begun because of the incompletion of the missionary house. I find I shall have American friends here also, some being in the lumber business here and others in building sugar mills. I cannot tell you with what anticipation I await the coming of The Republican. ’lt is almost the only news I hear from dear old Rensselaer, as letters omit much news. I have been very sorry to read some of the articles in it and just as glad over others. Strange to say, I had neven noticed that our court house yard is unbalanced. It has always seemed just right to me and I’m sure it would seem strange to see it changed when I return in 1917. Will you please change my address to Palma Soriano, Oriente, Cuba, in care of Rev. Nogall? With best wishes to my many Jasper county friends, GRACE PEYTON.

Mrs. Warren Springer Buys Leasehold of Saratoga Hotel.

Recorded in the real estate transactions in Chicago last week was one of interest here. Mrs. Marguerite Warren Springer bought of Mrs. Ava W. Farwell the leasehold interest in the 48x120 feet of ground on Dearborn street comprising a part of the site of the Saratoga hotel. The interest of the grantor in the 7-story building was also included. A nominal consideration was named in the deed but the price is understood to have been $85,000.

Troop B, Fifth U. S. cavalry, did not remain here for a day of rest, but after camping Saturday afternoon and night took an early departure Sunday morning for the north and camped in Roselawn Sunday night, proceeding to Crown Point today, where they will stop over until Wednesday morning. The object in making Crown Point for the extra day’s stop was the bathing advantage in the fair grounds, where the camp is held. Colleges are opening and the Purdue delegation have gone to that institution. This year Ransom Sawin, Kenneth Groom, Charles Harris, Ed Rose and Victor Hoover go there. Rose will take civil engineering and Hoover will take pharmacy. “TIL'MING, SORE, JIRED FEET Good-bye sore feet, burning feet, swollen feet, sweaty feet, smelling feet, tired feet.

Graham and McCurtain Each Released On Bond.

John McCurtain, who was placed under a bond of SSOO to keep the peace with his wife and who alter was declared insane and sent to the asylum from which he took French leave, and who later surrendered and was placed in jail, secured his release ‘Saturday by giving a bond, which was signed by Emmet Pullins and W. A. McCurtain. John will be all right if he leaves his family alone and state< that he would probably return to Streator, 111., where he can secure employment

A. W. Graham also secured his release Sunday by giving bond. His attorney went his bond and was protected by an indemnity bond. Graham is charged with embezzlement in connection with the board of trade transactions in which W. W. Hill, who conducted the local office, and others lost some money. Graham was running the head office in Lafayette, a sort of bucketshop, it is said, and when he claimed to have failed, he owed some investors here some money. It is not improbable that he will always owe it, as he claims to be broke and there seems nothing to indicate that he is not. The most that could be accomplished on an embezzlement charge would be a sentence to the penitentiary and this would not reimburse those who lost through transactions with him.

The writer was going along Illinois street in Indianapolis last Wednesday afternoon when he observed considerable commotion in front of a restaurant and saw three policemen enter the place and dispel the crowd. Inquiry secured the information that a newsboy about 11 years old, who had entered the restaurant to sell papers had been assaulted by one of the waiters, who grabbed several of his papers and struck him across the face and head. The crowd was very indignant and were pleased when they saw the officers arrest the assailant of the x>y and take him to the police station.
