FORMER RENSSELAER BOY IS HONORED

Louis R. Fendig Elected Head of Realty Board In Jacksonville, Florida, Recently. Louis R. Fendig, brother of B. F. and Samuel Fendig, of Rensselaer, and formerly a resident here, was elected president of the realty board of Jacksonville, Florida, where he is now located, last Tuesday. An article of considerable length, with the picture of Mr. Fendig at the top, is contained in the Florida Times Union. Owing to the length of the article we can not publish it. Charles A. Brown,’ the retiring president, paid Mr. Fendig a fine tribute. Prior to his election as president of the board, Mr. Fendig held the position of vice president, serving with Mr. Brown on the»board. fn his address, Mr. Brown commended the work of our former townsman, and praised him for the good he has done the board. The board has undertaken the awakening of northern Florida in a statewide movement and already two strong committees have been sent out. Southern Florida is being covered by representatives of the Tampa real estate board and a convention of all those interested is to be held >n Jacksonville December 7th and Bth. Mr. Fendig has made rapid strides to the front since having located in Florida and his many old Rensselaer friends will be glad, to hear of the honor that has been accorded to him.

Lafayette Murderer Is Convicted By Jury.

After deliberating fur twenty-one hours, a jury in the Tippecanoe county circuit court Saturday afternoon returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter against Wm. Troschier, who was charged with the murder of Charles Harris. The finding was a compromise and was reached after the jury had & been brought to the court room and Judge Caldwell reread the instructions to them. A penalty of from 2 to 21 years is prescribed by the law in manslaughter cases. Troschier was disappointed at the finding of the jury, as he had fully expected to be acquitted. When the verdict was read he said that he wanted a new trial. The jury seemed hopelessly divided from the start and the fact that a verdict had been reached was surprising to many. It is thought that Troschier is the same man that was in Rensselaer for a short time last spring.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

As announced by Mr. Clark, I have purchased a half Interest in The Rensselaer Republican and my services with the same-do here and now begin. This paper lias occupied a splendid place and has had the co-operation and support, of the people of Jasper county. The high standing it has reached and kept was due in a very great measure to the personnel ot the editors. Mr. George E. Marshall had a peculiar ability that made his articles very readable. He gave a touch to the record of the ordinary happenings of the community that was more than the recital of the dry facts. He had a sense of humor that was very rare. Following Mr. Marshall was our immediate predecessor, Major George H. Healey. His writings were aggressive and progressive. He was enthusiastic. He was loyal to the interests of the community and to his party affiliation. He had pronounced convictions and he defended these with diligence. Whether we agreed with him or not we had to admire his earnestness and lack of fear. The business management of the •paper will remain in the charge of Mr. Leslie Clark, a man who has spent his life with newspapers. He is thoroughly competent, diligent and ■courteous. To take up this work I am leaving one of the very best businesses in Rensselaer. Almost ten years have been spent in that business. In these ten years I have learned from experience that you will receive full value for every service rendered. I leave it and its pleasant associations with much regret. Until I began my business career I had spent all my life in the cradle and the school room. In serving the people of this county as teacher and superintendent of schools I acquired ideals and aspirations that I have not been able to dismiss.

The present position in connection with The Republican will give me the opportunity to work along this- line. I owe a debt of gratitude .to tha good people of Jasper county and I want in as large a measure as possible to repay it. My career has not been brilliant nor does fame attach to my name, but, whatever little of good I may have or ever will accomplish, will be done wholly through the kind opportunity extended to me by my kind friends. I have but one Way to reward them and that is by doing my very best the task I undertake. I am a member of the Christiah churqji, but every effort possible will be made to assist all movements that have for their purpose the uplifting of the banner of Jesus Christ. I am a progressive republican. I hope, however, to be broad enough to put the political interest of the people above any party prejudice. When the interests of party and people conflict it is duty of a public organ to take the side of the people. I am interested in the farms and farmers. The columns of this paper will be open to the discussion of their needs.

No city or town can rise above the ability of its businessmen. Every thoroughly equipped and well managed business is a valuable asset to the local community. The businessman is the backbone of the progress and prosperity of his city and the sur-’ rounding country. I believe that the interests of the farmer and the merchant are identical. Co-operation will insure to each that highest degree of prosperity. My boys and girls, the students in the public schools of the county ten years ago, are now the men and women who are doing things. In their places we have the new boys and girls living in better homes, going to school in improved houses and being instructed by better teachers. We are enthusiastically in favor of making conditions the best possible for the youths of the county. I shall prefer to praise rather than blame. To boost rather than knock, to build up rather than tear down. I shall try to be kind but I will not pussy-foot. I ask your co-operation and assure you that we will serve you to the very best of our ability. LOUIS H. HAMILTON.

To the Merchants Who Patronized Fi-Fi Program.

When this advertising was taken to the printer it was found that the cost would be nearly as much as the amount contributed. The printer has suggested that the programs be printed without the ads and a list of the business firms donatingSbe published in a later issue of the paper. If this suggestion is satisfactory to- you the cause of charity will be benefited twenty or twenty-five dollars. We do not wish, to appear to have obtained these donations under false pretenses and so will be glad to refund the money to any w’ho desire it. It is impossible to see each business firm and explain. All have been very generous in responding to this call for help. Signed, Mrs. John I. Gwin, VicePresident Charity Board.

3RD INDIANA STARTED FOR INDIANA TODAY

Co. M Among the Soldiers Who Entrained at Llano Grande —All Soldiers Celebrate. i • The long watched for day has arrived for the soldiers of Company M. For the past six months they have waited with a little impatience for the word from the higher-ups, releasing them from duty on the border and sending them back to dear old Indiana. The tents of the Third were struck Sunday, the baggage packed and the men slept in their mess shacks, but little they cared where they slept. Huge bonfires lighted the camp Saturday and Sunday nights and the furniture was burned that the men had made use of during their stay on the border. The regiment which is to be sent home, was the first of the Indiana troops to go to the border. The troopers will be sent directly to Fort Benjamin Harrison, where they are th be mustered out of the federal service. It is expected that at least one week or more will be consumed in checking the men in, after which they will be sent to their various home stations. The meeting which was called for last Friday evening to determine upon a proper home coming celebration for Co. M was not sufficiently attended owing to other events during the same evening and it has been decided to hold" another later. More enthusiasm should be shown in this matter, for it cannot be put off too long. The program as has been determined upon is to meet -the company at the depot with the band, and escort the soldiers to the armory, where the banquet is to be served, and also have Mayor Spitler give an address of welcome. Orchestra music throughout the evening will also probably be furnished. Monticello has gone ahead with their plans and will serve her soldiers with turkey.

Tax Collectors Bear Down On Newton County

Six stalwart strangers, accompanied by a little stnegrapher, paid New ton bounty a visit last week and as a result the treasurer’s books show there are not as many tax delinquent! as there were before the .visit of the strangers. The strangers first went to the office of the treasurer and copied off some six hundred names appearing on the tax duplicate, after which they set forth for the surrounding country. - The strangers were a bunch of tax collectors and are operating under a state law which compels the collection of delinquent taxes on personal property. The books of the Newton treasurer reveal the fact that there is some $17,000 remaining delinquent, and it is the purpose of the collectors to get in as much of this amount as possible.

Delightful Recital at the Presbyterian Church.

Miss Genevieve J Smith, harpist, and Miss Helen Norton, who were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Hollingsworth, gave! a most delightful entertainment at the Presbyterian church Saturday evening. Miss Smith has played several times before, in Rensselaer, and her visits are alw’ays a delight to lovers of good music. Her program was varied to suit all tastes. A talk on the history of the harp, and an invitation of a banjo solo were included in the program as well as the classis number. Miss Smith’s personality is as pleasing as her music. Miss Norton’s reading of the Gathsemne was especially enjoyable. The girls of the Monnett school were the guests of Mrs. Hollingsworth. Miss Smith played for the Sabbath school Sunday morning.

The union service at the Baptist

church last night was well attended. Rev. Asa McDaniel of the Christian church delivered a splendid sermon. On the outside of the building were some twenty young men and boys. Why were they not inside? Was it the boys’ or the churches’ fault.

THE WEATHER. Fair “Monday and Tuesday.

DYING BY INGRES It is not an uncommon sight to see people who are dying by inches. The glands of the body are not working pioperly, poisonous matter accumulates and health declines. The circulation becomes sluggish, the b’ood impure, and a general nervous or debil- | itatcd condition exists. Day by day the liver and kidneys become less ac- j tave, leaving the poisonous matter within the body. This poisonous accumulation causes the sallow complexion, and a tired, achy or run- ' ? down feeling which, if neglected, may result in jaundice, tvphoid fever or serious liver and kidney trouble. Glando, the great gland toni ,is es- I pecially prepared to relieve glandular disorders, throw off the poisonous accumulations and build up he system. Glando, the great galnd tonic, is the only treatment of its kind upon the market Its superior qualities are due to the fact that it contains • * three separate treatments, each treatment having a special part to perform in effecting a cure.
