CROWDED HOUSE GREETS WILL R. WOOD

Nominee For Congress From Tenth District Greeted By Packed House Saturday Evening.

Will R. Wood, candidate for congress 'front District of Indiana, was greeted by a packed house at the Ellis Theatre last Saturday evening. Standing room only was the rule and the audience listened attentively to every word the candidate uttered. Mr. Wood spoke for two solid hours without a let-up and was cheered vociferouslj' time and again by.the audience. He presented facts as they are, facts that are fresh from congress. Mr. Wood did not abuse the democratic party—that is not his style—but he did point out the flaws of the present administration and had his subjects so well in hand that his speech rang' with trup sincerity.

Mr. Wood -had made several speeches throughout the county during the- dnv and apnlngiwd for hts: voice before starting, but we could see no necessity for apology.

Mr. Wood tola of the tai iff that has been imposed by the democratic party, and how it is ruining the American farmer and business man, §md, how 'the democratic administration changed their tariff ideas so frequently that they were hard to follow. Congressman Wood also told of th? Mexican policy of the administration and how the dilatory tactics that have been pursued and what as his opinion as one man,"•should have been done. Mr. Wood cited instance after instance of the wavering policy of.tjie administration and each of them was ■fburtded^nrr - gor>d,'—sotidi substantial facts.

Mr. Wood delivered six addresses during the day and each of them was different. He is not the type of orator that gets up and (Tails the opposing party for the purpose, of receiving the plaudits cf his own party followers. Mr. Wood , simply pointed out in a clear, concise manner what the following up of the present policies would bring to this country. His address was of the best ever given by anyone here and there was not a listener present who could say he did not appreiate it, beherepubfican or-democrat.

HAMMOND LAD RECEIVED FATAL INJURIES HERE

Alex Joseph, of Hammond, Died Here Sunday Following Injuries Received By Monon Train.

Alex Joseph, 19 years of age, a young Assyrian of Hammond, died at the St. Joseph college infirmary Sunday afternoon following injuries he received by southbound train No. 3 Sunday morning. Joseph’s accident happened as the train was pulling into Rensselaer. s Young Joseph was accompanying the Hammond Maroons, a football team which was to play .at St Joseph’s college in. the afternoon. Not having carfare, the young lad decided to pilfer a ride via the Monon. Before leaving Hammond he was warned by companions not to take the chance, but he did not heed their advice. The accident occurred as stated before after the train had arrived in Rensselaer. The unfortunate lad was riding the blind baggage. Engineer John .McDonald was inc charge of the

train and failed to stop in time for the water tank and was forced to back up. The train was on the curve and Joseph, not knowing that the train was to back up, started to get off, just as the coaches came together, crushing him about the abdomen, and he was held in this way until the train started forward. His companions, fearing for his safety when he did not put in an appearance, went back to where he was and found him lying on the ground writhing in agony. Dr. Washburn, the Monon physician, was called and Joseph was taken to St. Joseph’s college with the intention of operating on him. However, after arriving at the college the young lad demurred, thinking that an operation was not necessary. Physicians agreed that an operation at that time would not be the best procedure, considering the precarious condition he was in. Joseph lived about three hours after the accident. The body was prepared for burial and is now awaiting the arrival of his mother, who is on her way here from Texas, at the W. J. Wright undertaking, establishment. Joseph was a well known character around Hammond, and was a sort of a roamer, taking frequent journeys by the blind baggage route. In his pocket was found a letter from his mother in Texas, asking him to come to her, and that she had a good position for him. The boy’s mother and sister are expected to arrive in Rensselaer soon, after which the body will probably ’>e shipped to Hammond for burial.

HOW TOWN AND COUNTY IMPRESS AN OUTSIDER

Wheeler McMillan, of the Covington Republican, Writes of His Trip To Jasper County.

Wheeler McMillan, editor of the Covington Republican, who made a r 'dking tour of Jasper county two weeks ago, has the following writeup of what he found on his visit here:

Some one has said that there may be found in Indiana more politics to the square inch than in any other state in the union. At any rate, the fact that in these strenuous campaign days people fill all halls to hear unknown republican speakers at least must indicate that there is some interest in republican policies this year. Monday momnig, in obedience to an assignment from the state republican speaker’s bureau, the editor boarded the cars for Rensselaer, the seat of Jasper county, taking a circuitous route via Danville and Lafayette, to*t>e sure train connections. The object of the trip, be it known, was to save the country from total destruction.

Rensselaer is a town that impresses a visitor. Its streets are wide, its residences and lawns well kept and its business houses bear the impress of enterprise. A handsome modern court house rears its tower to a conspicuous height over a grassy lawn that delights the eye. Gentle reminders of the traffic ordinances are given by semaphores planted in square white boxes in which flowers grow and bloom. There are, perhaps, as many manners of judging a town as there are judges. We would like to judge Rensselaer by its library. A commodious structure, erected by Carnegie’s aid a dozen years ago, it was founded on a township library that formerly had a home in the court house. Some 9,000 volumes, remarkably well chosen, now find places on the shelves, with indications that they are well used. Rensselaer 'boasts a population of 3,000. The library is patronized by around 1,500 borrowers, according to the librarian. ' Sbme of these, of course, <;ome from the surrounding township. A mighty fine commentary on a town, it seems to us, that nearly half the people use the library! We shall have to look up the figures in Covington to see how they compare. The school buildings are on the same corner with the library. The school reference work is all done in the library and the youngsters thus get the library habit early. f . A statue of General Robert Huston Milroy, Jasper county’s civil war hero, adorns a handsome little park space near the business section. The bronze likeness is the work of Miss Washbum, a Rensselaer girl who has achieved some note as a sculptress. We found Rev. E. W. Strecker, until recently pastor of the Covington M. E. church, busy preparing to set *out his rose bushes at his new home. "Mr. and Mrs. Strecker have a handsome parsonage and a Very fine church. The church plant is as complete as could be desired. There are multitudes of Sunday school rooms, a complete kitchen, all handsomely finished and conveniently arranged. The auditorium seats about 100 more people than the local church, although architecturely it is less attractive. Rensselaer Methodists are much pleased with the Streckers, and the Streckers appear to be no less delighted, with Rensselaef. Jasper is a comparatively level county. Albout 2,000 acres of the Frank Nave land lies ih the north part about the Kankakee river which forms the northern boundary of the county. Great dredges have been at work draining the lands to make their fertility moer available. On the smaller projects the cost is assessed against property owners, and in all the projects the county handles the business.

Fountain county can puff herself up and blow on the road question in comparison to Jasper. We are far ahead on gravel roads, apd the gravel roads now built in Jasper are in piuch worse shape, far rougher and more bumpy than our roads here, although their gravel road repair levy is 15 cents and ours only 13. Fountain county’s efficient corps of road men are keeping our highways in a condition to compare favorably with any county in the state. Rensselaer business men are awake to the value Of printers’ ink. For a dozen years or so tl?ey have supported The Rensselaer Republican, a live little daily circulating almost exclusively in the city. Their advertising patron age al on e has made thi s dai 1 y possible, a semi-weekly also being printed with a large -country circulation. While in the office of The Republican a moving picture show man ordered $22.60 worth of advertising space to advertise one night’s show

Dr. Johnson Home From Border For Indefinite Stay.

Dr. €. E. Johnson, who has been on the Mexican border with the Rensselaer company for the past several months, returned to Rensselaer Saturday for an indefinite stay. Dr. Johnson received his leave of absence on account of physical disability. The doctor has fallen away considerably in weight during his Stay on the border and suffered a general physical breakdown, and has also been having trouble with one of his eyes and Nt* is feared that its signt might be permanently impaired if not given careful treatment. Dr. Johnson states that while on the border he has been in the hospital about half the time. He will probably go to a Chicago hospital for a two weeks stay while home.
