Free Washington Trip to One Who Guesses Election.

Indianap'olsi, Sept. 15. —The republican state central committee is trying to ascertain who is the best political guesser in Indiana, and in order to enliven interest it is offering a trip to Washington, D. C., with all traveling expenses paid, to the person who comes nearest to guessing correctly the result of the vote for Hughes and Wilson in the November election. Fifty thousand slips of paper, bearing the names of the states in alphabetical order and containing Hughes and Wilson columns have been mailed out by L. W. Henly, secretary of the committee. The only condition is that the person be a qualified voter of Indiana and that his name be registered properly on October 9. All guesses must be returned to the state committee on or before that date.

A DEAD LOSS.

National guardsmen from all over the country have been “marched up hill and then marched down again.” They have had their taste of “watchful waiting” on the Mexican border. It has cost the government $130,000,000 according to democratic figures, to make good Mr. Wilson’s incapacity to perceive the necessity for military preparedness during more than two years df his administration and to the guardsmen who responded patriotically to the call to arms, saclificing their business, their employment, in many instances the business prospects gained by years of hard and faithful toil, and subjecting their families to privation, all the loss they have sustained is a dead loss. No one will recompense them for it. They must simply offer it up as the tribute irrevocably exacted of them by Wilsonian vacillation and democratic inefficiency. | - , ■

ALL TROOPS MAY RETURN IN MONTH

War Department Expects Withdrawal of Guardsmen From border Some Time in October.

Washington, Sept. 14. —Senators and representatives who have conferred with Secretary of Waj Baker since the recent session of the congress came to an end are confident that before the end of this month the war department will announce its intention to order all the national guard troops on the Mexican border to their home stations. If the expectations of the secretary of war are attained the homeward movement will begin early in October and will be completed before election day. It is probable that not all of the troops will be mustered out of the federal service on their return home. This will depend on the outlook for peace and quiet in Mexico. It will be no surprise if the final decfsion is to hold at least 25,000 men under arms at their home stations for two or three months after the return home. So confident .are the war department officials that the troops will be returned to their home stations next month that many inquiries with reference to the discharge of individual soldiers are being answered to the effect that all these questions, it is believed, would be solved shortly by the return of the troops. The war department is rather proud of the national*, guard that has been built up within three months. The official reports from the various national guard camps along the border to the department here assert that the guard of most of the state now compares favorably with the regular army troops. Mr. and Mrs. Nat Heuson went to Waynetown today to visit their son, George and family for a few days. ■ —i Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Professional Notice.

RENSSELA.ER, INDIANA. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916.

Monon Sub-Agent Disappears With One Hundred Dollars.

Roselawn, Sept. 15.—A relief agent who came here Tuesday evening to relieve Agent Baker, mysteriously disappeared Wednesday evening and failed to show up Thursday morning for duty, and Roselawn was without an agent for a time. An official of the. company came Thursday on train No. 5 and opened up the office and the cash drawer. He found sixty-four pennies in the drawer and some revenue stamps.

The sub-agent had sold milk tickets to John Roorda and taken a check for the amount, which check he cashed at the store of D. K. Frye, where he also collected some $6 worth of freight bills. He stopped at the hotel while here, but had failed to register and his signature on the freight bills is unreadable, so it was impossible to learn his name. It looks like a clear case ’ of defalcation o£ the proceeds of the office while he was in charge. It was not learned whether any additional funds other than those above stated were missing, but it is thought there was probably considerable more, as the ticket sales are usually quite large for this point. It is hoped the fellow will turn up and show himself , all right and straight, but it looks bad at this time. He was last seen walking north on the railroad track Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock.

Later informati jn received from the railroad officials who checked up the office Thursday morning, is that the Allow got away with over SIOO in cash. The last seen of him was wheii Mr. Borem, of Water Valley, who runs an auto Hvery, was hired by him to drive him to Lowell. Hyland Weaver was put in charge of the office until Mr. Br.ker returns.

Farmer Gets Small Fortune For One Shipment of Hogs.

John W. Wright, a farmer of Sugar Creek township,' Clinton county, had the honor, and we suppose the pleasure also, of shipping to the Indianapolis stock yards the largest number of hogs that ever sold as high as $11.30 a hundred pounds. There were 391 hogs in the drove, their average weight was 253 pounds, their total weight 99,150 pounds, and the check he received from the buyers was for $11,203.95.

Dr. C. E. Johnson Resigns From Army Post —On Way Home.

Dr. C. E. Johnson, of Rensselaer, who left with Company M for the Mexican border a few months ago, has written home that he left Texas with Battery B, of Purdue, Tuesday and will probably be in Rensselaer in a few days now. Dr. Johnson was a surgeon in the army, but has resigned and will take up his practice again in Rensselaer.

Action for Divorce.

Carrie Dayton vs. Clifford Dayton, action for divorce. The complaint alleges that the parties were married on Feb. 21, 1902, and have lived together as husband and wife until August 5, 1916; that for a period of more than two years prior to said date the defendant wholly failed and neglected to make reasonable provision for support of the plaintiff and children, although fully able to do so; that the plaintiff and defendant have two children, Josephine Dayton, aged 12, and Myrtle Dayton, aged 9; that for several years past plaintiff has by labor supported herself and children, and she is still able and willing to do so; that the defendant is not a fit and proper subject to have the care and custody of said children, and his habits and mode of life are such that it would not be for the best interests of the children to have him to have control of them and their education and training. Whereas plaintiff asks that she be granted a divorce and the care and custody of the children.

PINE VILLAGE ELEVEN TO PLAY HERE

Dow nut ate Footfall Team, Rated the Best in West, to Meet Valparaiso Here Oct. Ist or Bth.

Clair Rhoades, ieadcr of the famous Pine Village football eleven, was in Rensselaer Friday and while hare closed negotiations with the manager of the Valparaiso team to meet the club of that city in a game of football in Rensselaer on either October Ist or Bth. Whenever anyone mentions Pine Village there is immediately the vision of a football in the listener’s mind. Pine Village is hard to find on the map, but on the football map they loom up mightily. Pine Village is accredited with having the greatest independent football team in the middle west and it is doubtful if there is an organization in the country that can trounce the downstate farmers. Pine Village has not been defeated in the past twelve years, and have been scored on but once in the past eight years, the Rensselaer team tarnishing their record in this respect when Ob Beam crossed their goal line three years ago, after intercepting a forward pass. In their line-up are some of the greatest college players in the middle west and Jim Thorpe was a member of this powerful eleven last year. Manager Rhoades is a clean sportsman, and says that is the kind of players that he has on his team. Rhoades also stated that if the crowd is sufficiently large that he will stage another game here later on that should be the greatest contest that could possibly be played. Pine Village right now has the same.enthusiasm that Rensselaer manifested the old days, when this city had a team that was never defeated, during the times of the Saylor boys, Hardy, Pete Rhoades, Mcon, Leopold, Wright, Gwin, Healey, etc. Ed Davis, former Indiana University star, is a member of the Pine Village club and will be seen in action here. Matthew . Winters, also an Indiana man, will be in the lineup. Jim Hooker, a Pine Village man of considerable ability, is another. Eli Fenters, the Pine Village quarterback, although not a college man, is, in the estimation of Manager Rhoades, the greatest backfield man in the state of Indiana and is highly recommended by Rhoades. John Redmond, also an Indiana University athlete, will be in the line. Emmet Keefe, a Benton county boy who won the all round athletic honors at Uotre Dame University, will be here. Bill Williams, of I. U., Harry Sheridan, of Purdue, and Martindale, Odle and Ray Fenters, of Pine Village, and Tuck Milligan, of Morocco, will compose the rest of the team. The Pine Village eleven will average from 165 to 180 pounds. O. H. Helvie is the head of the Valparaiso team and was a member in former years of both the Pine Village team and the Marion Club of Indianapolis and is said to h£*7e welded together a great team at the university city. It is up to Rensselaer people and those of the surrounding towns and country to support this game, the exact date of which will be announced later, if they care to sec them in future games.

Examination For Rural Carrier to Be Held.

Committee to Take Action Today Concerning Stop of Hughes.

D. D. Dean received a letter today from Jesse E. Ehsbach, hfead of the state speakers’ bureau, in reply to the proposal to have Charles E. Hughes, republican presidential candidate, to stop herp on the morning of September 21st for a Short speech. Mr. Dean also talked to Mr. Eshbach today over the telephone and the latter stated that he had taken up the matter with the Hughes’ managers in Chicago and that they would let him know some time today what action had been taken.

Although the Hughes managers realize that a stop at Rensselaer would be of more importance than at some of the other stops that are to be made, they express some doubt as to whether matters can be so arranged. Mr. Hughes has twelve stops during the day and the managers feel that asking him to make any more than this in one day would be placing too great a hardship on the candidate. Mr. Hughes has been campaigning in all parts of the country for the past several weeks and the committees feels that he has been working too hard. The special train is forced to leave Chicago at 6 a. m., and will arrive in Rensselaer a little after 7:00, which is rather an early hour for the candidate to start speaking, and the committee feels that there would not be many on hand at so early an hour to hear the presidential candidate. What action will be taken in this matter will be determined today and the local committee notified. It is said that President Kurrie of the Monon has stated that the road will make up the time between here and Lafayette if the committee finds it advisable to stop here.

Lewis and Speaks Granted Parole By Governor Ralston.

Acting on the petition circulated by Mayor Spitler recently relative to the parole of Orson Lewis and Ernest Speaks, who were sent to prison when convicted on the charge of robbing Monon freight cars, Governor Ralston has acted favorably on the petition and the young men have been paroled. It is probable that they will be sent west to take up homestead claims, probably in Dakota.

Former Hoosier Lawyer Prospers In the West.

That Dan W. Sims, attorney, who went from Lafayette to Los Angeles a year ago and began the practice of law, has struck it. ich was made known to his friends when Judge I. E. Schoonover received a letter from his son, who is U. S. district attorney for southern California. Sims has been appointed special master in sis oil land actions involving title to 160 acres of rich oil lands in the Kern county oil field. His fei s for 'this service will amount to about SIOO,OOO, according to Mr. Schoonover, and this is substantiated by a clipping from the Los Angeles Times, which in commenting o:i the appointment, made on recommendation of District Attorney Schoonover, says: “Previously to this, Mr. Sims had been appointed special master in five other oil land cases, and with his selection by Judge Blxlsee, it is believed that his fees from federal sources will amount to SIOO,OOO. Mr. Sims is an old friend of U. S. District Attorney Schoonover, both having infested the same ‘old swimmin’ hole back in Fountain county, Indiana. It is claimed that the oil taken out of the ground and involved in the settlement of the cases is worth at least $10,000,000.” Mr. Sims, was one of the bestknown attorenys in western Indiana and was prominent iii politics and in banking and insurance circles at Lafayette.
