Father George Heldman Home From Kneipp Sanitarium.

Father George Heldman, editor of The Messenger and other Catholic publications, who has for several weeks been a patient in the Kneipp sanitarium at Rome City, arrived in Rensselaer this Wednesday looming and will spend a few days here. No successor has been appointed to Father Gietl, the business manager of the Catholic publications. Father Heldman began to fail in health last June, suffering from an enlargement of the heart. The sanitarium treatment has benefited him and he will return there in a few daya. , ——

MANY TROUBLES DUE TO WEAK KIDNEYS

“It is no use advertising a medicine unless the medicine itself is good enough to .back up the claims you make for it,” said B. F. Fendig, the popular druggist, to - a Rensselaer man. “On the other hand it is a pleasure to sell a medicine when your customers come in afterward and tell yo,u how much good it has done them. And that is why I like to sell and recommend Solvax, the great kidney remedy. I have so much faith in this article that I am going to guarantee it in the future and will return the money to any purchaser of Solvax whom it does not help.” This shows a great faith in Solvax. It really is a most unusual medicine .because it overcomes the worst cases of kidney complaint toy removing the cause. It goes straight to the seat of the trouble. It soaks right in and cleans ou the kidneys and makes them pass off all the uric acid and poisonous waste matter that .lodges in the joints and muscles, - causing rheumatic pains; soothes and heals the bladder and quickly , ends all such troubles.

F. M. Parker, father of O. F. Parper, has -been at the Presbyterian hospital for the past week, and yesterday one of his eyes was operated on. He has been having much trouble with them lately and it is believed they will be greatly improved by the treatment he is receiving. LYCEUM COURSE DATES January 19—Ralph Bingham. < January 28—Tahan.

The Evening Republican

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR HARRY S. NEW

To the Republicans of Indiana: * 'lam a candidate ;f or United States senator, subject to the decision of the Republicans of Indiana at the primaries, to be held March 7. Last spring and summer I was strongly urged to become a candidate by hundreds of friends in every section of the state. At that time the friends of Mr. Hugh Th. Miller felt that that gentleman having borne the burden of the battle in 1914 when success was impossible, was entitled to another nomination, this year when victory was assured, and to that opinion I subscribed. The lamentable physical breakdown which has Miller out of the contest, will be deplored by all who know him, and by no man more than I, hut it makes a vacancy in the field of candidates into which I feel free to step. I believe I can be nominated, and if that I can and will receive the undivided support of my party. I believe that the condition of the business interests of our country as. they are now, and as thoy inevitably must be

Wants to Force Trustee To Build a High School.

County Superintendent of Schools Lamson is very anxious to build a high school or two during the time he is in office. Last year’s attempt to erect an expensive high school in Barkley township failed, but the taxpayers were placed to; some expense i because an architect had been hired and a law suit was instituted and there was a lot of expense in trying to locate some contractor who would erect 'the proposed building for any way near the figure of the architect. Very few taxpayers in Barkley township wanted the building and could the proposition have been placed to a vote it is probable that 80 per cent of the voters would have opposed it, but Superintendent Lamson made a strenuous effort to build it any way., Now his attention has again been turned to Union township and with Rudolph L. Budd as an instrument, suit has been started in that township to compel Trustee Hammerton to erect a high school building. Mr. Budd lives some distance north of the Rose Bud church. There is nothing to indicate that he hopes to have the high school built on or near his farm, but lie has no children of any ways near high school age and possibly his interest is purely a public-spirited one, but if the citizens of the township are generally in favor of a high school, as we are informed they are not, the matter should 'be brought up to the trustee in the form of a petition and v not started as a legal conflict that means expense to all taxpayers and annoyance to all who would .be called to testify. —-i

1. Union township is large, containing 66 square miles. The Monon railroad running north from this city traverses the west side of the township. The towns of Parr and Fair Oaks, with considerable populations, are on the railroad. They are so situated that a township high school could not be located so as to be agreeable to both or to receive the patronage of both and at the same time be accessible to the other parts of the township. Fair jQaks and Parr are both in need of good, modem school buildings and plans are on foot to erect them, probably four-room buildings

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1916.

HARRY S. NEW

after the close of the great world war which is today engulfing Europe, imperatively demands the election of a Republican congress as well as a Republican President to make certain the adoption of a Republican tariff and other essential measures. The quality and character of my Republicanism is established by the record of more than twenty-five years, during which I was associated with my father, John C. New, as one of the publishers of the Indianapolis Journal, and by many years of service as a member of the state and national committees of the party. I stand ready to be Judged by that record. I realize that the time for making a campaign is now too brief to permit of my seeing all my friends, but I shall devote my energies to seeing as many of them as possible. I ask for their support for this nomination, assuring them that it will be deeply appreciated and that, if elected to the senate, it shall be my endeavor to serve my party and country to the full extent of such ability as I may possess. HARRY S. NEW.

at each place. Plans can be made at either one or both places to give first year high school work. That plan will meet every need and a superintendent deeply interested in the welfare of the school facilities of that township could see it at a glance. During the past dozen years many . students from Fair Oaks, Parr, Rose- , lawn and other towns to the north and from other points in Union township aave been educated in the Rensselaer high school. With automobiles as an agency of travel and with a railroad with excellent facilities running along the west side of the township there is every reason to .believe that Rensselaer with its fine high school and Its vastly better facilities will continue to draw largely from the high school scholars of that township. Trustee Hammerton knows this and believes he is representing the educational interests and the business interests of the township in making a fight against the erection of a township high school, which would cost from SIO,OOO to $15,000 to build and J>e a big expense to maintain. The law provides that where the taxpayers of a township can not agree on the location of a high school the superintendent has the power to locate it and that from his decision there is no appeal. This makes graft an easy possibility, for a superintendent could very easily locate the building at some point where there was a financial consideration for so doing, f W. L. Wood has been retained by Trustee Hammerton to fight the suit instituted by Mr. Budd. It is said that the people of Fair Oaks and Parr are united in opposition to the plan of Budd and the superintendent. ■ It is expected the coming year to erect a new school" at Fair Oaks and the following year at Parr and this will meet every school need of the township at this time.

NOTICE. There will foe a meeting of. the Van. Rensselaer Club this evening at 8:00 o’clock. Business of importance to be transacted. A full attendance desired. < - ■ WOODHULL I. SPITLER, • T : ~ President.

The Lafayette Women Did Not Stay Very Long Tuesday.

Two women came from Lafayette Tuesday afternoon and it is saic, planned to put iup at a certain free and easy joint for the night. Recent disclosures in The Republican, however, had caused a number of persons to be on the uneasy seat ahd they (lid not care to take chances of figuring in a raid and the women were advised that they had better leave town and they did so on tjie evening milk train. A married woman and a feminine' guest in her home called at The Republican office this. Wednesday: morning to say that they were entirely innocent of any wrong doing and that their characters were white, as the driven snow. The Republican had not mentioned any names in its article of a few days ago and how these two persons happened to pick themselves out is more than we can tell. It was stated by the married woman that here was no good reason to suspicion them of anything wrong and she was informed that we certainly hoped she would be able to hold herself above suspicion. The Republican has heard so many stories about a certain house, stories told by neighbors and talked about all over the town that it seems time that steps were taken to remove such demoralizing influences from the town. Several years ago a woman namet Brown maintained a joint for months in defiance of the Jaw and the general knowledge that she was maintaining such a place. Finally the saloons disappeared and then it was easy to dispose of her. An affidavit was made by a neighbor and they were fined and driven out of town. It is a pity for a respectable town and a respectable neighborhood to have the stench of a house of ill-re-”* pute in the community and no stone should be left unturned by the good people of the community to dispose of these things when they show'up.

Gave Wife Christmas Present; Missing When Next Wanted.

A Rensselaer citizen gave his wife a set of sterling silver knives and forks for Christmas and after using them that day the owner put them away for state occasions. A few days ago she went to get them to show them to some friends and they were not where she had placed them. A search of the house failed to disclose their whereabouts. Then the husband was informed and he began a little quiet investigation and has a clew that may result in an arrest. In order to avoid disgrace to the thief and the parents and family it has been decided to give them an opportunity to return the stolen silverware and if this is done within the next fortyeight hours the matter will be dropped.

HERE’S NATURE’S OWN REMEDY FOR CATARRH

Hyomei Relieves Catarrh Without the Use of Dangerous Drugs. "Not until Hyomei was discovered has it been possible to truthfully say that a real remedy for catarrh was known. Hyomei is an oil and its air is breathed through a small inhaler furnished with it for a few minutes four times a day, and during that time every particle of his Hyomei-laden air taken into the air passages and lungs is impregnated with a powerful germ killing and health-giving antiseptic. Sprays and lotions often cause disorders of the respiratory tracts or bring some other diseases and never made a permanent cure of catarrh. But when the air of Hyomei penetrates to the inmost air cells of the lungs and enters the blood with the oxygen it not only kills the germs but kails the bacilli in the .blood, freeing the mucous membranes from poisonous microbes and giving perfect health. A complete outfit is inexpensive and includes an inhaler, dropper sufficient Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment B. F. Fantjig has so much faith in the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to return the money to any purchaser who is not thoroughly satisfied.
