BREAK WITH AUSTRIA NOW SEEMS PROBABLE

Unofficial Advices Say That Vienna Wall Deny U. S. Demands About Sinking of Ancona.

That there is grave danger of a break with Austria over the Ancona incident is felt in Washington and unofficial advices received there Tuesday indicated that Austria’s forthcoming reply to our last Ancona note would be far from acquiescence to our demands. The advices also indicated that German diplomatic relations were also prepared for a break. That the break might be avoided by several developments was acknowledged, but counterproposals which Austria is expected to make are not apt to avoid the severance of relations. Germany is implicated by having supplied wasps and siibmarines to Austria after having acceded to the demands of the United States to give to all vessels the right to first be searched and give nom-comibatants a chance to escape. That .the situation is assuming the aspect of a crisis is the opinion of Washington dipolmats and of the newspapers. The official message from Austria may considerably change things, however, and it is sincerely hoped that the crash may be avoided.

Chicago Paper Quotes Dr. John D. Ellis As Authority.

The Chicago T'rilbune in reporting the death off JUugene M. Bumphrey, a Chicago lawyer, from what pftiysicians call “petroxnlortis,” tgave Dr. John D. Ellis, a former Rensselaer young m!am, as authority for the explanation of whait “petromortis” is. Drt Ellis shid: “The thing is new in science in some of its aspects. Persons who are subject to vertigo may be attacked when in a close, small garage. The danger lies in the failure of certain elements of the gaeoHne to oxidize. In ‘any event there ia a quick suffusion of a violent gas that renders the victim faint. Thus, if the exhaust of an engine continues, the result is almost instant death. The post-mortem showings are those of brain and lung congestion.” tßumjphrey had gone to his garage and cranked up his machine. LateT his body was found on the floor of the garage, the engine of the car was running and the garage was filled with fumes of gas. William E. Keener, clerk in Fendig’s shoe store, undertook some fancy stunts, at the skating rink last evening and fell, alighting on his right elbow, which was dislocated. Dr. Johnson set the arm .but Will wiM be laid up for a few days and has decided to spend the time in Lowell, where he has relatives. Charley Spain, who with his family had spent Christmas at Monticello and also paid a visit to his sister, Mrs. W. G.

Farmers are wondering about the condition of wheat. Thare is now a large acreage in the country this year, owing to the very wet fall. The sleet that covered the ground is thought to have done considerable damage but it was mostly off before the snow came. The snow will serve as a good protection and the wheat may come out all right, but it is impossible at this time to tell.

There were about three 'columns of news items synd the ads were well written and well displayed. The Enterprise at Kentland done the mechanical work, which means that it was well done.

HAS FAITH IN QUICK REMEDY FOR CATARRH

B. F. Fendig Guarantees That Hyomei Will Relieve the Worst Cases - of Catarrh In Rensselaer. When one of the most reputable concerns in Rensselaer guarantees that a medicine will procure benefit or they will refund the money, it speaks volumes for the merits of that remedy. It is in this way that B. F. Fendig is selling Uyomei, the treatment that has helped so many cases of both acute and chronic catarrh in Rensselaer and vicinity. Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a spra> or a lotion that must be rubbed in. It is an oil, the air of which you just breathe in your nose, throat and lungs by the aid of an inhaler that comes with every outfit. Benefit will usually be seen from the very first treatment. This air destroys all germ life m the air passages and lungs and enriches and purifies the blood with the additional ozone it supplies. It banishes catarrh of the head and throat and respiratory organs. Wherever these mucous membranes contain catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do its woric ofvhealing. The complete Hyomei outfit is inexpensive and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks' treatment. Remember that if Hyomei does not relieve you B. F. Fendig will refund your money.

Combatants Getting Ready For Next Wrestling Match.

Jesse Marlin is undaunted because he was thrown at Morocco 'last Saturday night and is putting in a week of hard practice for his match with Vic Michaels. At Morocco Marlin met Freddie Hall, who 'bested Mm in two straight falls, the first requiring 40 minutes and the second 13. Hall is said to be a professional and the showing of Marlin is excellent. Michaels will -be the heaviest man he has ever met and he, too, is putting in some hard work getting ready and the match which takes place Saturday night of this week promises to. be the best so far staged. Young Marlin will meet Johnny Welsh at that time in a preliminary and all four of the grapplers are putting in each afternoon and evening on the mat at the opera house. It is understood there are other aspirants in the county and that the winners of the two matches Saturday night will be challenged. Every effort is being made to prevent any professionals from getting into the game until the local field is exhausted and that time is probably some distance away, as new candidates are heard from every day. Marlin has won his local matches and has shown some cleverness in doing so and the match between he and Michaels will be a good one.

CONGRESSMAN WOOD AT LOVE FEAST

Says Wilson Plan to Tax Gasoline, Btc., For Preparedness Wi)l Not Receive Endorsement.

The Indianapolis Star publishes the following article in reference to Congressman Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, our representative in congress: Representative in Congress Will R. Wood, of the tenth district, who reached Indianapolis from Washington yesterday afternoon, brought the explanation that the reason why three or four of the Indiana democratic members of congress have decided not to* seek renomination is their belief that next spring is going to toe a “republican year.” Mr. Wood is here to attend the republican state love feast tomorrow. "Three or four of the democratic members of congress of our Hoosier state are retiring voluntarily because it is plain to them that next year is going to be a bad year for democrats,” says Representative Wood. “And it is rumored persistently that two or three more of the present democratic delegation are about to announce their retirement.” "Merrill Moores and I represent districts, but we are just the same as representatives at large, because republicans from all over the state call on us to look after their interests and, of course, we are glad to be of service to all,” he continued. Representative Wood makes the prediction that President Wilson's bill on preparedness will never see the light of day. “The president's program on preparedness will be upset because the democratic members of congress are hearing from their constituents. It is my prediction that the bill will not leave the committee's hands, at least in its present form. There is a demand for preparedness and it must be met, .but there will be an uprising against the democratic plan to tax automobiles, gasoline and bank checks in order to raise revenue to pay for battleships. “The democrats don't dare to re*vise their tariff bill (because to do so would admit their weakness, so there is nothing left for them to do but to pass a special tax bill and amend the income tax bill so that everyone drawing a salary of any size is taxed.” Mr. Wood said that several members of congress favor Charles W. Fairbanks for,the presidency and that most of them favor him for second choice after their “favorite sons” are out of the way. “Indiana’s favorite for the presidential nomination has more second choice supporters than any other man mentioned for the office, and it is the second choice support which will control the nomination,” said Representative Wood. “Mr. Fairbanks is well known in Washington (both because of his sendee as senator and as vice-president and he has a big following of friends among the present and former members of congress. I think that Indiana republicans have a chance to obtain the nomination of Mr. Faiibanks. Republicans attending tomorrow's love feast will have an opportunity to sign the petition asking that Mr. Fairbanks’ name be placed on the presidential ballot to .be voted on at the primary election next Mardh. About 5,000 voters already have signed the petitions which have been sent from republican state headquarters. Several persons have written to headquarters asking that a petition be sent them in order that they may sign it.

ROAD TO HEALTH IS THROUGH THE KIDNEYS

No person alive is stronger than his kidneys. The mintue the kidneys become disarranged or clogged with waste the warning is flashed throughout the entire system.

Fendig, the popnlar druggist, can tell you of many well-known people in this city whom Solvax, the standard kidney remedy, has restored to health, often after they have tried many other methods of treatment with little or no benefit. This remarkable kidney remedy is guaranteed to help the worst case of lazy, sluggish or eloggedup kidneys, or the general headachy, kinkybaeked, played-out condition that afflicts people suffering with kidney trouble.

F, Fenlig is perfectly safe in standing ready to refund the price to any customer whom it does not help. Pittson hard coal, than which there is none better, is sold by Hamilton A Kellner.
