ROADS PROPOSED FOR UNION TOWNSHIP

Petition Will Ask For System of 15 Miles Connecting With Three Improved Roads. A petition has been circluated and signed in Union township' providing for a system of stone roads 15 miles in length and connecting up with three other extensively traveled and improved roads- The petition is headed by A 1 Witham, the Parr rural mail carrier. Attorneys A. Halleck and W. L. Wood represent the petitioners. The route taken by the road is as follows: Starting at the township line about a half mile north of Virgie and running south two miles, thence west two miles and then south to Parr and east to the range line road north of Rensselaer. Anothher part of the road connects the road north of Parr with the Fuller school house and thence west to Fair Oaks. Only about four miles of the route is new construction, the balance having been improved before but not being county road. The plan is to scarify the road bed of this old part and improve it by putting on a dressing of rock. The improvement looks like a good thing and will doubtless meet quite general favor. Another petition has been started, we understand, by S. T. Brusnahan with Geo. A. Williams as attorney. It 'is thought possible that there may be some conflict in the two petitions and if so it is probable that the good people of that townkhip may be able to get together and secure a system mutually advantageous and satisfactory.

Little Boy Still Confined To Bed As Result of Beating.

John Sigman, the little unfortunate boy who was tormented and beaten by three or four other boys on Tuesday, April 11th, is still confined to his bed-and Thursday night had a very bad night, having a slight hemorrhage. As stated previously the boy is not birght aqd was deserted by his inhuman parents. The county made a charge ofTurn and he has been kept with Mrs. Belle Sayler. On the afternoon mentioned he was returning from school the boys pounced upon him, choked him and beat him with a ball, striking him in the stomash. The 'boys are said to be only 7 and 8 years of age, while the Sigman iboy is not yet 7. His injuries were such that he was unable to speak, owing to the condition produced by the choking and his stomach was sore. He has been confined to his bed since. Dr. Gwin, who has been attending him, thinks the lad will recover, but it will be a quite close call for him. The boys who irtjured him are themselves scarcely of the age of responsibility, but their parents or the authorities should see that their act does not go unpunished. The Sigman boy is said to be inoffensive and to always have refused to fight. If ne should die the case against those responsible for his death would present a grave aspect.

Blow In Dance Postponed Until Wednesday Evening.

It has been found necessary to postpone the • “blow in” dance until Wednesday evening, April 26th, or one day later than it was originally set for. The postponement was made necessary because it was impossible to procure Nadel’s first orchestra for the night first chosen. This orchestra will, however, be here on Wednesday night and includes the same players who were here for the “blow out” dance and a saxophone player in addition. ---• The “blow in” dance committee has decided that the best is none too good for Rensselaer and the popularity of Nadel’s orchestra as dance music has been demonstrated on several previous occasions, so rather than disappoint any person the postponement of date was decided upon. The “blow out” dance was given just berfore lent and the “Mow m u darrce follows lent and it is expected will be very largely attended. It looks like the big social event of the season. The original notices of the dance consisted of telegrams delivered by messenger or mailed to out-of-town people and the novelty appealed to all who received them and created favorable that will doubtless help to swell the crowd of dancers.

Watertown, Me., April 19. —Watertown will be the only city in the country to boast of a team of one-armed baseball players.

Dr. C. E. Johnson to Be Lieutenant In Medical Corps.

C. E. Johnson, who made application some time ago to AdjutantGeneral Bridges, offering his services as a medical officer in the event of war, has been designated to take the examination for first lieutenant and has been called before the examining board for next Thursday, April 27th. He will become an officer in the medical corps of the national guard.Anticipating trouble in Mexico the war' department has been paying special attention to tropical diseases and their prevention and a recent bulletin issued to line officers dealt with typhus and other disease common to that climate.

Many of the leading surgeons and medical men of the country have had their names placed on the reseive list of the army or the guard subject to call, and Dr. Edward Clark, the Indianapolis surgeon, is one of these. He recently received, a letter from the war department asking him how soon he could respond to a call if it was made and he answered that he could be ready in an hour. Dr. C’ark makes many thousands of dollars a year but his patriotism is of the type that would sacrifice every private interest for the good he could be in saving the lives of soldiers and thus promoting the cause, of America. To offer to do this in a time of peace and to make the preparation for service is very commendable and Dr. Johnson is deserving praise for the sacrifices he is making. Examples like these should appeal to every young man who should feel it his duty to enlist at once with the national guard and to secure as much training as possible in order to better care for himself and perform a greater service to his country.

Kokomo Man Savs Word’s Fail Him

R. M. Hankins Asserts He is Unable to Speak Full Gratitude for Tanlac Eokomo, Ind., April 17, 1916. “Yes, sir, Tanlac has helped me in every way and I am only too glad to tell others about it,” said R. M. Hankins, a well known farmer, who lives on Rural Route No. 12, Kokomo, when asked if he was pleased with the new medicine. “I believe I got more good out of my first bottle of Tanlac than I have out of all other medicines —and they are many—that I have taken recently. That’s why I’m back for my second bottle. “I suffered from rheumatism and eczema and was in a run down condition. My food didn’t agree with me and I was constipated. Tanlac helped me from the first few doses. In a few days I noticed a wonderful improvement. Now, the constipation has been relieved, my blood has been purified, driving the rheumatism and eczema from my system, and altogether, I feel like a new man. There’s nothing I could say- that would fully express my gratitude.” Thousands of Indiana people are now taking Tanlac with most beneficial results. Tanlac is excellent for rebuilding run down systems following attacks of pneumonia, la grippe, and the like and is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney troubles, rheumatism, catarrhal camplaints and the like. Tanlac is now sold exclusively ! n store.
