Will Ade Stock Farm House Burned to Ground.

The large house on William Ade’s stock farm, about 4 miles southwest of Brook, was burned to the ground Monday, together with all cf the household goods belonging to the occupant, Dave Harris. Mr. Harris had lighted a gasoline stove a short time before the fire was discovered and had gone to the bam lot to do some Work. Howard Myers, the Brook liveryman, was driving by and saw smoke issuing from th- roof. He gave an alarm and quite soon a large number of men responded and their heroic work saved the corn crib, largo stock barn and a stack of straw. Two men who were pouring water on the roof of the corn crib lost their balance and fell to the ground, receiving quite severe bruises. Only a few of the household effects of Mr. Harris were saved and the house was entirely destroyed. Both the house and contents were insured.

DYING BY INCHES It is not an uncommon sight to see people who are dying by inches. The glands of the body are not working properly, poisonous matter accumulates and health declines. The circulation becomes sluggish, the blood impure, and a general nervous or debilitated condition exists. Day by day the liver and kidneys become less active, leaving the poisonous matter within the body. This .poisonous accumulation causes the sallow complexion, and a tired, achy or rundown feeling which, if neglected, may result in jaundice, typhoid fever or serious liver and kidney troub. e. Glando, the great gland toni , is especially prepared to relieve glandular disorders, throw off the poisonous accumulations and build up he system. Glando, the great gain! tonic, - is the only treatment of its kind upon the market. Its superior qualities are duetto the fact that it contains three separate treatments, each treatment having a special part to perform in effecting a cure. For sale by B. F. FENDIG, DRUGGIST

BRYAN LAUNCHES DRIVE ON LIQUOR

Wm. J. Will Start Four Years’ Fight On Liquor—Plans to Make U. S. a Dry Nation.

Wm. Jennings Bryan has arrived in Indianapolis and wiH start a four years’ drive to make the United States a dry nation. Bryan will have his headquarters at the Indiana capital. He asks that the democratic party join him in the move and also that they insert a prohibition plank in their platform in 1920. It is Bryan’s desire to head the ticket in 1920 and he will ask that he be given the nomination then by virtue of his fight on the liquor interests of the country. He will also seek a plank favoring federal equal suffrage. It is said that many of the democratic leaders of the state are bitter over their defeat in the state and claim the liquor dealers did not come through with the number of votes expected of them, and in retaliation against them they are going to start a state wide move for state prohibition. This drive in the state launched by the democrats at this time, s thought to have been actuated wholly by resentment against the liquor interests and because the election was lost by them and also for the purpose of having a good campaign in 1920, and not for the reason that they have suddenly had a moral awakening and become conscience stricken. It "seems but strange that democratic state officers, supreme court judges and others who have been in . close touch with the acts of the demo- j cratic legislatures for the past eight years should so suddenly after a los-' ing fight, be espousing the prohibition cause. Why didn’t they get busy when they had control of the legislature, instead of waiting until the republicans got control ? Maybe they thought there was no chance to win. Statements have appeared that the democratic leaders are also miffed over the German-American vote going to the republican party and that state-wide prohibition will be started as a retaliation against the GermanAmericans, thus inferring that the Germans as a class are the liquor drinkers of the country. There is no question that the majority of the people of the state are in favor of state-wide prohibition, or nation wide for that matter, and, whether they be republican or democrat, and the movement will receive hearty support from all of the parties, but we believe that it was started by the democrats, not from a moral standpoint, but that it is a political movement, in order that they may turn the voters to their ticket in 1920. We hope that the state goes dry, and that the time is not very far off when it will do so, but it will not be the democrats who put it dry any more than any other party. The republican vote of the state will do it. Wm. J. Bryan did not just happen to be sent to Indiana.

State Secretary-Elect Jackson Has New Plan.

(State Secretary-elect Ed Jackson, of Newcastle, has under consideration a plan which he probably will put before the next legislature, which would change4he place where the auto owners secure their licenses yearly. If this plan works out, auto owners would get their licenses in the county where they reside. The licenses would be issued by the auditors of the cotinties. At present the licenses are secured at Indianapolis through a special bureau created by the state legislature of 1913. Jackson will probably put his plan before the next legislature. It will have the hearty support of the owners, as it would save them considerable trouble.

G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans Eulogize Lincoln.

The anniversary of the famous Gettysburg address of President Lincoln was made the occasion of a joint gathering of civil war veterans and Sons of Veterans Saturday evening at the G. A. R. hall in the court house. After a lunch of doughnuts and coffee, J. P. Green read the famous address of the martyred president and then gave a short but enthusiastic patriotic address, closing by saying that he was soon to conclude his residence here and would move to Philadelphia, Pa., there to engage in the same business he has been conducting here. He spoke of the friendly comradeship he felt for the old soldiers and the Sons of Veterans and said that the six and a half years lie had resided in Ren s - selaer had been very pleasant ones and that he would sever his friendly relations with the citizens of the community with a feeling of deep regret. Major Geo. H. Healey then related some of the border experiences of the Indiana soldiers. Brief speeches were made by H. W. Wood, Sr., M. B. Price and several others. Commander D. H. Yeomdn presided and made an interesting talk. He presented the adjutant, Henry Wood, with a fountain pen, for his faithful work during the past year, and called attention to a new picture of Abraham Lincoln which was recently presented by one of the comrades and which is hung along the wall just back of the commander's station. Another interesting feature of the evening was the singing of several patriotic songs by the little girls’ quartet, composed of Josephine and Mary Washburn, Francis Wood and Beulah Brown. The evening proved a very enjoyable one for all present. H. E. Waling, of Brook, was present and made a short and interesting talk.

FAREWELL.

The writer has with the last prior issues of The Republican severed his editorial and managerial connection with that publication and is committed by the severence to not engage in the newspaper business in Rensselaer in opposition to the purchaser, Leslie Clark, with whom he had been pleasantly associated for almost nine years. The sale of my interests is in consequence of my military connections and my conviction that sooner or later it will become necessary for the United States to intervene in Mexico. Believing this and feeling a moral and patriotic duty to continue my military relation I felt it prudent to adjust my business for such possible In this statement -of the sale and im these farewell wbrds”t& the readers of The Republican and citizens of Rensselaer I feel a desire to assure all that my plans to leave Rensselaer are filled with much regret, for prior to the call of the troops to the border I had no thought other than to make Rensselaer my permanent residence. More than confident of its continued growth and development, I have tried during my residence here to promote everything which I felt would contribute to its welfare and the betterment of the city and the county. It is a part of my nature to support with such vigor as I possess anything which I support at all and in doing this I have at times, engendered animosities that were not readily repaired. While I have endeavored 1 4o avoid personalities and have aimetf to fight the cause and not the individual, some of the policies of The Republican for which I was responsible have assumed a personal interpretation and such enemies as I have made or such opposition as the espousal of my principles produced come as a natural consequence of the aggressive manner of my support. However, I fee! no personal ill will toward any individual on earth and I am very happy that I am leaving Rensselaer with the firm conviction that I can number as friends almost every acquaintance in the county. Politically, while opposing the democratic party and its candidates who advocated its platforms, I have never used unfair tactics and have throughout the years of my residence here had many warm friends among the democrats of the city and county. Convinced that republican doctrines are 1 in the main correct I have supported them with such power as I possessed 1 and the cause has triumphed in Jasper county almost unfailingly. (My confidence in the*development of Rensselaer has caused me to father or support many things contributing to its present building development and I now believe that it has a future held by few other towns of its size. The continued commercial and building development can be made more rapid and better by the confidence of its citizens expressed with pride on all occasions and they have so adopted this plan that I am certain the feeling of confidence I have inspired through the columns of The Republican has become a conviction with all citizens of the city and country. Keep it up and the next ten years will add greatly to the size of the city and the development of the surrounding tryThe sole proprietor of The Republican will henceforth be Leslie Clark, whose co-operation with me in the past policies of The Republican has been full-hearted and cordial and who will, I am certain, continue to give to Rensselaer and Jasper county a newspaper fully awake to and ready to support every good and worthy community enterprise and who will deserve from the community in return .their support and endorsement. With this message I will close my local newspaper work and with no definite plans for my future will hope that wherever I may locate I shall find as many good people and loyal friends as I am now taking leave of. I shall find inspiration in these old friends and shall endeavor in my future career to be guided by them to the accomplishment of much that ;s substantial and for the good of humanity. Sincerely,

GEO. H. HEALEY.

GOODRICH’S POSITION IS MADE CLEAR

Governor-Elect Says State Officials and Heads of Institutions Make Own Appointments.

James P. Goodrich has returned to Indiana after a week spent in New York. He has altered his plans and will stay several days before going to Oklahoma where he will spend a few days. In a statement made yesterday Goodrich attempted to make his attitude clear in the matter of appointments of men to serve under his administration. An impression seems to have gained ground that he will have a great deal to do with makjng of appointments of Otto Klauss, of Evansville, who will become auditor of state Dec. 1, and for Ed Jackson, who will become secretary of state on the same day, and for other officials newly elected. “I want to make it clearly understood,” said Mr. Goodrich,” that I will have nothing whatever to do with the making of appointments for Mr. Klauss, Mr. Jackson or any other 5f the republicans elected to the state offices. These men will be required to make their own appointments. “Neither will I have anything to do with the making of appointments for employed at any of the state institutions. The making of such appointments will be wholly in the hands of the boards of trustees and the superintendents, and in such matters I will not interfere in the slightest manner. “Whatever appointments I shall have to make as governor will not be taken up by me until the adjournment of the next legislature early next March.

Charity Board to Give Entertainment November 24.

The charity board of Rensselaer is arranging to give an entertainment at the Methodist church, Friday, Nov. 24th. The entertainment is to be given in the interest of the poor on Thanksgiving and although it will be free, everyone is asked to donate either food or money on this evening. The food will be placed in the church basement and distributed a day or two before Thanksgiving to the poor of the city. Anything that the public can donate will be much appreciated by the needy on this day. The money which is donated will be used by the committee in charge in buying foodstuffs of a kind of which there is not much donated. The entertainment will be in the nature of a musical entertainment and will provide the double motive of entertaining the people and at the same time helping the poor of the city. The program will be published later.

Rensselaer Boy Is a First Class Gunner.

A letter received here today from Fred Hamilton, who is in the English army and is now stationed at Surrey, England, six miles out of London, states that he has been made a first machine gun man and has qualified as a marksman. Fred is in the machine gun company. They had just completed a fourteen mile hike before the letter was written. Fred likes the army life fine and says that when he gets back in the United States Uncle Sam should be able to find something pretty good for him. The letter had been opened by a censor, as is all the mail which comes from the warring nations. Fred asks to be remembered to all his friends and also that they write, as a letter from home is appreciated more than is payday.
