Case of A. C. Robinson vs. C. M. Horner Decided For Latter.

The appellate court has affirmed the superior court in refusing to give Alfred C. Robinson, formerly of Rensselaer, a judgment against Cornelius M. Horner on his suit for an account* ing regarding an alleged partnership, by which it was alleged they were joint parties to the purchase of land in White county in 18%. The suit was filed in 1904. It was appealed once and was reversed by the supreme court holding that the trial court terred in sustaining a demurrer to the complaint. After the reversal of the complaint it was tried in Tippecanoe county, where it had been taken on a change of venue, but the court held that the evidence did not sustain the suit. The appellate court states that there is sorfte evidence to sustain the judgment and that the evidence Ibeing partly oral, the court on appeal cannot attempt to weigh the evidence, but will affirm the judgment where it is supported by some evidence.

Bowel Complaints in India.

In a lecture at one of the Des Moines, lowa, churches a missionary from India told of going into the interior of India, where he was taken sick, that he had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy with him and believed that it saved his life. This remedy is used successfully in India both as a "(preventative and cure for cholera. You may know from this that it can be depended upon for the milder forms of bowel complaint that 'ccur in this country. For sale by B. F. Fendig.

CARRANZA SETS U. S. PRISONERS FREE

Compliance With the United States Demands Averts Open Rupture At This Time. An immediate break between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico has been averted by the compliance of the demands for the release of twenty-three captured in the fight at Carrizal. Whether a state of war has been prevented or merely postponed, no one at Washington would attempt to say Wednesday night. Official attitude of General Oarransa was lacking. Until his response to Secretary Lansing’s note dispatched Sunday, making two peremptory and distinct demands, is received, there will be no decision on whether President Wilson shall lay the crisis before congress.

News of the release of the prisoners in the press dispatches brought undisguised relief to high officials. Moreover it was assumed that Carranza, impressed with the urgency of the situation, has ordered the captured cavalrymen started to the border without waiting for his action to reach Washington. While it is generally conceded that this move lessens the tension and makes the crisis less imminent, no one conversant with the grave, problem is losing sight of the fact that the all-important question of Carranza's attitude toward the expedition across the border to protect the territory and citizens of the United States from bandit outrages remain unchanged.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1916.

Maj. Healey and Staff Take Oath for Service

All Members of Co. M are in Good Physical Condition and Eager to Leave for the Border. Thousands of Visitors at Camp Ralston. Rensselaer People Invited to Visit Company M Headquarters f

Ft. Benjamin Harrison, June 28, 1916. All of the Rensselaer boys, including myself and staff and Company M, are now a part of the United States militia. Company M was the second company mustered in and this evening after the Valparaiso company had been sworn into federal service we were sworn in. Standing on the parade ground First Lieutenant Arthur Tuteur, Second Lieutenant Geo. W. Sergeant Major Don P. Warren and myself, took oath to engage in any service whatsoever the President of the United States might direct.

All of my companies are now in except Monticello and it is ready and ju?t waiting a reply from the war department approving the inspection by Captain Toffey. The Monticello company has almost one hundred members and they are a fine class of young ihen. It is probable that this company will be mustered tomorrow. We are'"having a number of visitors today and if <we remain here over Sunday, which we undoubtedly will? we will have many thousands here next Sunday and if the Monon runs an excursion next Sunday, leaving Rensselaer at about 6 o’clock in the morning and leaving here at about 8 o’clock at night, it will probably bring many hundreds from along the route. An excursion is to be run over the Erie from Michigan City and Gary. It will leave Gary at 3:50 a. m. and is scheduled to arrive in Indianapolis at 10:40. The trains can not be run out here owing to the congestion of cars on the Big Four. It will be necessary to come over the traction line from Indianapolis, a trip that requires from hour to two hours. It might be a good notion for those who come to bring a l’ttle or big basket of grub. Not that the soldiers are not having a fine field mess, for they are, and John Eigels-

bach is preparing it in a masterful manner, but home dainties appeal to all and the boys will be very happy if they are thus remembered. There were many camp visitors again today, among those from, Rensselaer being Rev. Paul C. Curnick, Mrs. J. W. Spate, Mrs. A. G. Lucas, Mrs. John Lyons and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Hickman. Errett N. Graham, Miss lima Robinson, Mrs. W. J. Imes, Walter English, Marion Learning and Dr. Wade Laßue also visited us. Mr. Graham is deeply interested in the aviation service and would like to take part in the organization of a company. It takes several thousand dollars to buy a good flying outfit for military service and especially for u3e in Mexico. Property inspections, followed by the condemning of unserviceable property and then the requisition of sup-

Remington Nightwatch Convicted Of Assault and Battery Charge.

William Zimmerman, the efficient nightwatch of Remington, who had made 47 arrests for violations of the law in the past year, has aroused the animosity of some of the citizens, and Monday he was arrested on an affidavit 'of Thomas Worden, charge! with assault and battery. The filing of the affidavit is a sequel to the quarrel and arrest of Worden’s father by Officer Zimmerman one day last week, who was convicted of permitting a device for gambling in his place of‘business. The assault on Worden by Zimmerman was made last January duringthe clean-up of the gambling holes there. According to the friends of the officer, Worden made some uncomplimentary remarks to Zimmerman about the good citizens’ league in the hitch barn, where a crowd of men had congregated, which ended by the forcible ejection of Worden by the officer. Nothing was done about the matter following the arrest and conviction of Worden last week. Zimmerman was convicted and paid a fine and costs of $4.00. \The present nightwatch ft said the best that Remington ever had, and attempts to see that the laws are enforced, and he is backed by the better citizens of Hie town.

WEATHER. Fair in southern portion tonight with probable showers and thunderstorms in north portion Friday.

t plies for the equipment of the companies is keeping officers busy, while every phase of close and extended order drill is being practiced. Somehow the- training has a deeper interest than ever before and every soldier goes at it with a keen interest as if to say that he proposes to do his part in whatever cornea up to do. The camp, as usual, is offering its amusing incidents. John Robinson has procured as a mascot a crookedlegged Daschund dog of “mouse hound,” and John has been teaching it to bay when bugle calls are sounded. It is not improbable that the pup will have his life curtailed before the camp breaks. The dog is in strange contrast to a very pretty bull dog that the Monticello company has. Lieutenant Tuteur was today made the recruiting officer for the regiment and will have considerable mustering to do. Many young men are comingin every day to join. It is very probable that the troops will be here for several days, but it is also possible that something might happen that would cause them to be rushed south at any hour. The regiment has now lost its designation officially as the third regiment and is now the 162nd regiment of Indiana militia. This follows numerically the last regiment in the Spanish-Amen-can war, which was the 161st. The last regiment in the civil war was the 156th.

Since starting to write I have been interrupted so frequently that I fear I have missed many interesting points. Now I must quit in order to get my letter mailed in time to 'get out on the night mail. If the Monon should decid? to run an excursion i feel certain it would be well patronized and that all who patronize it will feel well repaid for making the trip. Governor Ralston will visit the camp tomorrow and all officers will attend a reception at brigade headquarters. Members of Company M are verigrateful for the splendid contribution raised for them. Captain Tuteur and his aids will use it with, good business judgment. Already he has purchased underwear and wool socks, the U. S. kind, for all members of his company. Expecting to see a number of our friends Sunday and welcoming them at all times, the boys all join me in sending best wishes back home and in letting the mothers, wives and others know that we are all in the very best health. Until the official notice of the change of the regiment’s number has been made, letters to members can be addressed to Co. M, 3rd Inf., Camp Ralston, Fort Benj. Harrison, Ind.

Chautauqua Promoters Are Making Plans for Meeting.

The Chautauqua committee will tell you that we have a great little city here in Rensselaer, when you stop to think of it. Here’s their way of putting it: “We have good sidewalks, well kept lawns, neatly painted houses and everything that’s needed to make a town like ours a desirable place to live in. And now we should top it off by putting our energy and our good spirit and our fine ideals into this chautauqua, which in itself is a splendid commendation for any city. Now it’s up to the citizens of Rensselaer to step to the front, buy these season tickets and make these six days the red-letter days of the year.” Who’s ready to buy their tickets? See any of these men, or any business man of Rensselaer: Rex Warner, J. D. Allman, W. L. Mycr, J. N. Leather man, C. M. Sands, D. Delos Dean, Paul C. Curnick, Frank Alter ,C. E. Duvall, V. Nowels and C. G. §pitler. The chautauqua will begin August 10th and close six days later.

News Notes of Camp Ralston.

Co. M received its first innoculation of the anti-typhoid propholactic treatment that is and must be administered to every soldier in the army. It is given in three treatments at 10 day intervals. After a man has received the entire treatment he is immune to typhoid or other levers of a similar nature. * The camp had the pleasure of having Dr. Cumick with them Tuesday afternoon. Co. M is not a militia company now but are real soldiers. We belong to the regular army, being mustered m at *4:45 p. m. Tuesday, June 27. Rensselaer can be proud of the boys who left there for the cause that is of so grave concern, for they are sure going to the front pretty fast, being the next to senior company in the regiment.

The boys have already had a chance to appreciate the kindness that the good, patriotic people of Rensselaer bestowed on them by the company fund they gave us, and we thank you all very much. The foolishriess that used to be indulged in in guard fife is all done away with and we are all right down to business, hoping to attain the success that comes to men who try. Everybody is very busy and don t -have much time to write, but we all like to get letters from home, so if you have any friend or relatives in our company please write to them and let them know they are npt forgotten. It may ibe that we will not get out of here until after and you want to see us, we will more than welcome all visitors in our camp.

Lieut. Jerry B. Garland, Laban R. Wilcox and William Waymire reported in camp Monday evening. Our company is on guard this Tuesday evening and a lot of new mftn are getting their first experience. Capt. Tuteur, who has been working on the muster rolls, and Second Lieutenant Edward L. Watson, who has had charge of the drilling, have been working almost day and night, and they proved today that they were getting results from the word that came from headquarters. Our cook, John H. Eigelsbach, is to be congratulated on the service he has been giving in the handicapped condition of everything. There are thousands of visitors in camp every day. Mothers, fathers, friends, sisters, brothers, sweethearts and onlookers. A patriotic spirit seems to exist everywhere. Company M this Tuesday morning, in charge of Lieut. Edward L. Watson, was photographed with a movie machine. The pictures will be shown in Rensselaer. It shows the men receiving instruction, and in a deployed formation on the firing line, so if you want to see us in action as we will be in actual service, don’t fail to go to the show. We have had but few men who have asked to go to town. No one seems to have time, or does not want to. They are all working to make a success that you people at home may be proud of our company. We hope these notes are of some interest to you. We have been asked to send them by so mapy people that we could not w-rite to, as our time is limited for such work. It is well past bed time, so your writer must retire. All letters are received addressed as follows: (THE NAME) Co. M, 3rd Infty., Fort Benj. Harrison, Ind.

WAR DEPARTMENT.

The Adjutant General’s Office, Washington, June 23, 1916. To All Officers of the General Recruiting Service: The Act of Congress approved June 3, 1916, “The National Defense Act,” as construed by this Department, renders unnecessary the parental consent to enlistment of persons between the ages of 18 and 21 years, and authorizes the enlistment of any person under 18 years of age who is able to meet the requirements and has the consent of his parents or guardians. “I will cheerfully say that Chamberlain's Tablets are the most satisfactory remedy for stomach troubles and constipation that I have sold in thirty-four years’ drug store service,” writes S.

Mother Suggests Soldier Boys Be Presented With Bible Apiece.

Editor Republican: May I, thorugh the columns of your paper, offer a suggestion? Ail Renssealer is athrob with the excitement and shock of sending so many of her splendid men away to the army. The mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and sweethearts, as ever, remain at home and think "long, long thoughts.” Te me has come the picture of the boys on lonely watches ip a lonely, far-away country. I wondered how many Bibles went with the soldiers. Of course, they have them, but the size ordinarily used would prevent carrying them. Wouldn’t it be a good thing if Rensselafr were to send to each of her boys a pocket Testament like those given by our Sunday schools for faithful attendance? They are bound in flexible leather, arc two and one-half inches by four in size; the type is clear, although small, and a little space in a pocket holds them. They would be a constant reminder of the loving interest of the home folks in their welfare and we are sure of spiritual return for© the promise is given: "My word shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.*' — Isa. 55:11. As the churches are the spiritual representatives of the people, could the matter not be handled most expeditiously through the Ministerial Association acting as a committee and acting as the judge of the amount that would be available from their respective congregations? The probable ccst would not be over $25. The opportunity js limited as our boys are likely to be called at any hour.

New Call For Charity.

The local charity board has already been called on to help some of the families of our local military company. In one case there is a young wife and three babies. Another family that is left unprovided for is a wife and six children, the oldest being but twelve years old, living in the Gifford country. There may be others of whom we have not been informed, but we feel sure that none of our citizens are willing that any of those who have been compelled to part with dear ones should suffer physical discomfort as well, and that a mere mentioning of the fact that such a need exists will be all that is necessary to meet the need. The charity board has only a small sum on hands at any time and this is always needed to meet emergencies. No doubt the needs of these persons will be met by the federal government, but until this is done some one should see to it that they are not left in want. Money for this purpose may be left with the charity board if so desired.
