Earl it. Glenn, science teacher at the Froebel school in Gary, has mysteriously disappeared. He tendered his resignation last week to Supt. Wirt. Efforts to locate and remind him of his contract with the school city were unsuccessful. He mailed his resignation and then left for parts unknown. W. W. Holliday, a former superintendent of the Whiting schools, was elected to fill the vacancy. Those persons whom the return of cool weather revived as a session with a sprinkling can revives a wilted geranium, did not know that they had a storm away over in Wisconsin to thank for their rejuvenation. But it was a Wisconsin storm, together with one of those mysterious affairs known at the weather bureau office as a “high pressure area” that brought about the cool weather yesterday and today. It brought the rain, too, but then, one can’t have everything just right.

THE WEATHER. Fair tonight and Wednesday; frost in low lands tonight.

LESS MEAT IF BACK AND KIDNEYS HURT

Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys If Bladder Bothers Ton. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, Bays a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if-blad-der bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy, t-ftlrg a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days gnH your kidneys will then act fine. This famous halts 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 normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.

The Evening Republican.

Miss Mary Yates went to Chicago today to attend the dressmakers opening for the week, studying the styles while there. A meeting of the officers and members of the Newton County Poultry Association and all others interested will-be held at W. E. Harry’s office in Brook at 2 p. m., on Saturday, September 25th. Mrs. Mary A. Howe, the nurse, is quite seriously ill with typhoid fever and it is understood her case is somewhat worse today and that her daughter, Miss Agnes, who left a few days ago for Greencastle to attend DePauw, is to be called back home. Rensselaer will be represented at th “burgoo” picnic at the state fair grounds by at least four Jasper county republicans, namely, Dr. Johnson, C. P. Plate, J. J. Montgomery and Geo. H. Healey. The two first named drove down, Mr. Montgomery and the editor went on the 1:57 train. iSamuel Noll, a prominent farmer and stock raiser, of Benton county, died at his home in Boswell Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, aged 63 years. Mr. Noll was a leading citizen of Boswell, a prominent member of the Presbyterian church and leaves a widow and two children. Mrs. Daniel Abolt, of Boswell, and Mrs. Frank Hankins, of England, Ark. He also leaves two sisters and one brother, John Noll, of Boswell. Maj. George H. Healey returned this morning from Plymouth, where he inspected Company I of the second battalioij, third infantry, last evening. The company there is in very good condition, the personnel of the men being good and the standing in the community first-class. There is a general revival in interest in mdlitia organiaztions and any young man can render a patriotic service and receive valuable instruction by an enlistment in thei Indiana National Guard. Mrs. C. H. Golden lost a long silk coat and advertised in The Republican. The coat was found by Shelby Comer, who, presuming that its owner would be along looking for it, hung the coat on a fence post at the J. L. Adams farm, and later Mrs. Adams took it in the house. Both saw the advertisement and the owner will thus get the coat again. A pair of baby buggy side curtains that were advertised were also recovered and await the owner at The Republican office.

The Ward Trial At Monticello Begins Today.

Monticello Journal. There is scarcely a breathing spell between murder trials this court term. Tuesday morning Robert Ward, of Norway, will go on trial for the alleged murder of his wife at Norway. It is predicted that this trial will attract even more interest locally than the trial of Bert Watson.

On February 15, Mrs. Robert Ward was fatally burned when her clothes were saturated with coal oil and ignited. She died the following day after great suffering. Just previous to this incident Mrs. Ward had had a quarrel with her husband, who had dislocated her arm in a scuffle. She went to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Miller, but shortly after returned home. A neighbor who followed her waited outside in order to ascertain any further violence on the part of the husband, but heard nothing for some time. Then he heard Mrs. Ward scream and entered the house to find her enveloped in flames. At the time of the occurrence it was given out that she had committed suicide in that manner in a fit of rage against her husband. During the April term an investigation of the matter was made by the grand jury with the result that an indictment charging first degree murder was returned against Ward May 3. He was not arrested until August 8, after a reward had been ogered for him by the county council, when he was brought here by the sheriff of Benton county, who had found him employed on a farm near P’owler.

Ward alleges his innocence, declaring that his wife did the deed herself. He shows the scars on his hands to prove that he rece ; ved serious bums in an attempt to save her life. Prosecutor Brockway will conduct the trial alone for the state and Attorney Geo. W. Kassabaum will represent the defense. It is probable that it will take several days before a jury will be selected, as the case has been discussed a great deal over the county.

Cable Again Pierced By Stake By Alley Workmen.

Two hundred pairs of telephone wires were put out of condition again Saturday when water seeped through the cable which had been pierced by a stake driven by workmen in the alley in the rear of the telephone office. Floyd A. Gruver, superintendent of construction for the telephone company, and a force of men worked diligently Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night in repairing the damage, which required the cutting out of some ten feet of cable, the readjustment -of the wires and the sealing of the cable. Several weeks ago a stake was driven through the cable by workmen in the alley apd a section of the new curbing was left out while the repairs were made to the cable. Friday the curbing was installed and again the workmen drove a stake through the tile and pierced the cable sleeve, permitting water to seep through and put the telephones out of commission. The repair work cost upward of S3O. Telephones in the east and north part of town, the country to the north and west and the telephones at Parr, Fair Oaks and Roselawn were out of use for about two days.

Damon & Pythias Revealed In the Modern Life.

Two deaths revealed in Hammond Monday a modem Damon and Pythias. For many years Joseph Miller, manager of the Hotel Carleton in Hammond, and his brother became critically ill while on a vacation visit to his former home in Berwick, Pa. Physicians telegraphed John that his brother could not live and to hurry to Berwick. John became despondent and Friday night went to a bam and hanged himself from a rafter. Joseph rallied when he was informed that John had been summoned to his bedside. However, when the brother did not arrive the patient knew instinctively that tragedy had overtaken him. Finally the physicians were forced to tell Joseph of John’s fate. Joseph suffered an immediate relapse and died early yesterday. The brothers will be buried in the same grave in Hammond.

Negro Slayer Confesses And Gets Life Sentence.

Bert Watson, colored, brought his trial at Monticello for the murder of Clinton O. Young, a Vandalia railroad brakeman, to an abrupt ending Monday, when he pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. Watson’s change of plea was a result of proof by the state that he had admitted the murder in conversations in jail with Alwin Berridge, his alleged accomplice. Policemen in hidng in the jail overheard the negro’s statements, while a stenographer made a record of them. Berridge’s case has not been set for trial. Young was murdered and robbed at Clymers Station, Cass county.

Northern Indiana to Have An Atlantic City.

Chicago and northern Indiana are to have a miniature Atlantic City on the shores of Lake Michigan. This fact was assured last week when H. J. Kavanaugh and M. E. Moriarity, Chicago case owners, leased 22 acres of lake frontage just north of Hammond beach on which they will erect a large dining room, case and recreapiers. The main dining room will be an elaborate affair, 20 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a veranda opening onto the lake. The owners plan to serve high class sea foods to‘motorists traveling on the Indianapolis road between Chicago and Indiana towns. To the north of the dining room and connected with it a large glass pier will extend into the lake for 260 feet. This pier will be used as a dancing pavilion and, according to the owners, will be equal to anything that the New Jersey resort can boast. A bathing beach one-half mile long will be built north of the pier. Ground will be broken for the project in the near future, and ie is expeoted that the resort will open about April 1, 1916. Over SIOO,OOO will be invested in the enterprise.
