B. E. Keeney Objects to Mentions of Springer Ranch.

B. E. Keeney, who has been spending some time here this spring in getting or trying to get operations started at the. Springer ranch, objects to the mentions The Republican made of the effect of rains on the land he has for sale. He accuses us of making false statements about the need of drainage there and says that he has been able to plow right through the worst of the rainy season with two tractors and eighteen teams. The Republican feels a mighty big interest in the development of the trucking interests of Jasper county and in the location on the lands of families wherever they have a chance to succeed and we have no doubt that in time when drainage that is ’ependaible has been established there are parts of .the Springer ranch that will be valuable for trucking purposes. We have never aimed to make any statement that .would act as a drawback to this development for it is a part of the county in which we have every interest we have in the world, while with Mr. Keeney and those associated with him it is probably to be their abode only a short time. In the early spring Mr. Keeney called at The Republican office and we talked frankly with him about the land he v was trying to sell and gave him some impressions we had gained from the methods pursued by some others who have undertaken to sell land in that section. We told him that if the land was purchased in bulk for prices ranging from S3O to SSO and was to be sold to innocent and inexperienced persons unfamiliar with the values of land at S2OO per acre we believed that plan should not succeed and 'that we could not give it favorable mention. We also said that we believed every purchaser should be told just what the drainage limitations were and that no deceipt should be used in the sales. Mr. Keeney said that he proposed to sell the land at a lower price than S2OO per acre and left the impression with the writer that it would be $125 pei acre and that he would employ Jio deception about his selling methods. He offered recommendations which we did not investigate. So far as we know he has been entirely honest in every respect and his investors may be entirely satisfied and they may succeed, but what he thinks about the crop possibilities of that section does not in the least change the fact that it has been there all the time and has failed to attract favorable attention because,of the fact that no sufficient outlet for the water that has made much of it untillable has s*o far been provided. Mr. Keeney says that he has been spending SSO per day in Rensselaer and thinks this fact deserves come boosting and he may be right but he should not expect any one to give it the'kind of boosting that requires to misrepresent it in any way to prospective buyers. At best it will be a year .before the Ryan ditch will be dug and when this is done and drainage is established then the land can be sold and there Won’t be any lottery about the thing in which the purchaser’s money is invested. We are not knocking the Springer sanch; we are boosting it and even if the sales are delayed a year or two it will be for the permanent benefit of Jasper county and will mean that the purchasers will then be satisfied and consequently more valuable to ®ur city and county than they will be if they drown -ut for a year or two. The interests of Mr. Keeney and those associated with him depend upon the success of those to whom the lhnd is sold. If they succeed with the crops that it is planned to raise we will be as well pleased as Mr. Keeney and we wish him success provided it does not come a.t t 3 expense of investors who have not been told of the true conditions ; revailing there.

iMrs. Henry Wood went to Monon today to see Miss Mollie Wood and Mrs. Eli Wood, both of whom are m declining health. f

Comrade J. M. Helmick Died In Wheatfield May 23.

John M. Helmick, who lacked 3 days of being 78 years of age, died Tuesday of last week at his home in Wheatfield. He was a veteran of the 9th Indiana regiment and was one of the best known citizens of the north end of the county. His wife passed away only a few weeks ago. The following account of his life and his funeral is taken from The Wheatfield Review: John Mcltheny Helmick was bom at Sidney, Ohio, May 26, 1838, and died at his residence in Wheatfield, Ind., May 23, 1916. Three more days would have completed his 78th year. He moved to Lake county, Indiana, prior to the civil war, and enlisted for army service at LaPorte, Ind., in 1861, serving over four years, and at the time of his discharge was lieutenant in Go. E, 9th Regiment Indiana Volunteers. He was married to Finette Gordon in 1866, and last October celebrated their golden wedding. Mrs. Helmick preceded him to the grave only six weeks. He leaves two children, Norman E. Helmick, of Liberty, Washington, and William J. Helmick, of Wheatfield, Ind. Also two stepchildren, Mrs. Ella O. Biggs, of Jackson, Miss., and Ellis R. Pierce, of Paducah, Ky. He is the last of his immediate family, having no brothers or sisters living. He sustained an injux*y to his hip by falling some four months ago, from which, he never recovered. In the passing away of Mr. Helmick the community loses one of its oldest pioneer settlers, having come to this county soon after the close of the war and has been in business at Wheatfield for nearly 30 years. He lived a true Christian life and was a close bible student, one of those who help make the community better and the number of his friends was only limited by his acquaintance. The funeral service was conducted at the M. E. church Thursday, conducted by Rev. Emerick. Interment at Wheatfield cemetery.

Mr. Helmick’s request was that Alex. L. Whitehall, an old army comrade, now living at Watseka, 111., be present and read his personal army record. Mr. Whitehall was unable to come and do this, and the record was read by the pastor, which is as follows: Personal army record of Lieut. John M. Helmick, veteran, enlisted from Lake county, Indiana, Sept. 2, 1861, and was mustered into the U. S. service at LaPorte, Ind., Sept. 5, 1861, as a corporal of Co. E, 9th Reg. Indiana Volunteer Infantry, under Capt. J. K. Blackstone, and Col. R. H. Mliroy to serve three years or during the war. The regiment was assigned to the 3rd brigade Ist division, 4th corps, Army of the Cumberland. Said John M. Helmick participated in engagemetns at Greenbriar, Va., Allegheny Mts., Va., Siege of Corinth, Miss., Danville, Ky., Perryville, Ky., Stone River, Tenn., Woodbury and Lookout Mountain, Tenn., Chiokamaugua, Ga.; Mission Ridge; Tunnel Hill, Ga.; Buzzard’s RooSt, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Adairsville, Cassville, New Hope Church; Pickett Mill; Pino Mountain; Kenesaw Mountain; Marietta: Smyrna Camp Ground; Chattahoocha River; Peace Tree Creek; Siege of Atlanta; Jonesboro, Ga., Livejoy, Ga.; Columbia; Franklin, Tenn: Nashville. - . He was in a hospital at Louisville, Ky.. about two months after the battle of Fort Donelson, being crowded out by wounded and transferred to Park Barracks, remaining 30 days. He was promoted to sergeant and to fivst sergeant. Discharged Dec. 11, 1863, at Whiteside, Tenn., on account of re- enlistment as a veteran .and promotion to lieutenant of same company under Capt. L. A. Cole and Co . I. C. B. Suman. Was detailed about seven months on charge of provost guard with Hazen’s Brigade, receiving his final discharge Sept. 28, 1865, at Camp Stanley, Texas, on account of the close of the war.

Two Candidates Withdraw From Democratic Ticket.

William D. Bringle and John G. Culp, who were nominated at the primaries for the offices of recorder and sheriff respectively on the democratic ticket, have served notice of withdrawal and Chairman Welsh has called a meeting of the central committee for Wednesday, June 7th, to fill the vacancies and possibly there will be one or two other vacancies at the same time. ' When the arrangements were being made to provide a ticket for the primary election Messrs. Bringle and Culp permitted their names to be placed on the ballot but with the understanding, it i 3 said, that they would not make the ra<ce and that they would withdraw from the ticket. It was necessary that some name be placed on the primary ballot or the central committee would not have authority later to supply a candidate. Both are excellent citizens and good enough in every Way for the offices they had been named to fill, .but they were running against republicans of excellent qualifications also and there was practically no chance of election and in fact both are so situated that they don’t care for public office. Mr. Bringle owns a good farm and came to Rensselaer to retire, while Mr. Culp is a farmer and probably realizes that it would be questionable judgment to leave the farm for a term or two of county office even if he, could aa elected. We would suggest to our democratic friends that they do not fill their ticket at all but just fall in line and make it unanimous for George W. Scott for recorder and B. D. MoColly for sheriff.

Fred Hall Threw Billiter In Morocco Wrestling Match.

Promoter or Matchmaker Levy Smart, of Morocco, pulled off his wrestling matches on Memorial Day. It was estimated by a Rensselaer man who saw the events that there were from 200 to 300 paid admissions at prices ranging from 50 cents to $1.50. There was room for 1,900 fans, but they did not arrive. Billiter, who is credited with being the lightweight champion of the country, was thorwn Iby Fred Hall, who claims Morocco as his home. Billiter won the first fall in 35 minutes with a toe hold. Hall won the next two falls in 8% and 21 minute respectively, with scissor holds, which may or may not have oeen sufficient to do the job. While the match was fast and interesting to spectators, the Whole affair looked like there was a scheme ,to find a sucker to back Hall for a future match. Jess Marlin, of Rensselaer, threw Homer Smith, of Wheatfield, in two straight falls, and George Bretz, of Chicago, threw Leo Flynn, of St. Louis, also in straight falls. About a dozen from here saw the matches.
