tfhe room occupied for a long time by Fred Cissel has been, rented to Carl C. Somers and M. O. Stokes, of Remington, who have formed a partnership to engage in the plumbing, heating and tinning business. Both have been engaged in the business in Remington and Mr. Somers, who was here today, states that they have a number of contracts at this time in Remington, Goodland, Fowler and other places. They have both been in the business for some time, Mr. oSmers having been engaged with C. T. Denham and later with G. I. Thomas. He learned the plumbers’ trade in Cincinnati and has worked at it for many years. They are looking for houses to rent as both have families and will move here at once. Mrs. John Werner went to Indianapolis today to take her daughter, Margaret, back to the school for the blind. Margaret has been out for almost three months, having had the diphtheria and after getting well from it was brought home for a rest and spent a month here with her parents. Although away from her school work for that length of time her standing as a student was such that the school authorities informed her parents that she would (be able to pass the year’s work if re-entered at this time. Isaac Kight was down from Fair Oaks today, the first visit he has made since his attack of erysipelas on Jan. 10th. He had a very severe attack and it almost cost his life.

HOSPITAL PETITION WILL BE FILED AGAIN

Persons Generally See the Importance of Having Hospital—Commissioners Will Approve. A petition signed by representative taxpayers from all over the county will be filed with the commissioners asking that $20,000 be appropriated for the erection of a county hospital in Rensselaer and it is understood the commissioners will act favorably on the petition. There should be no ill feeling -created about this matter. It is of too much importance to all the people of the county to be permitted to fail and we believe that there are a very small per cent of the people who would have it fail. Rensselaer is the largest city between Hammond and Lafayette and is situated in such a large territory that would make use of the hospital that certainly from a humanitarian standpoint it deserves the support of every person. Its establishment will' mean a development for Jasper county and be a great monument to dts progress. No one can tell how soon some member of their family may have to be rushed to a hospital for an emergency operation. How much better to have it done here at home, where the relatives can be in daily consultation and how much better to avoid the train ride on a cot. Any county or city that fails to develop along with the progress of

It seems generally accepted that_ the nomination would go to Governor Ralston, but if Smiling Tom, the blond boss, wants it, he will probably get it.
