Wrestling Match at Morocco This Evening

The wrestling match between Johnny N. Billiter, of Toledo, Ohio and Ray Campbell, Of Oakland, DI. will take place this evening at the Clarendon theatre at Morocco. It is understood that there is a good sized side bet up between the grapplers, and the contest this evening should be an interesting one. Therewijr be several from this city attend this match to watch the challenger and the champion. z ■

Ramson Kastcr, who lives near Gifford, is lodged in the county jail at this place, and besides laying out -asßo.oo fine he is confronted by pretty serious charges lodged against him by his wife. Last Saturday Raster gave his wife a severe beating and for this he was taken before Squire C. W. Bussell and fined to the sum of $25 and costs, amounting to over SBO. Tuesday his wife came down and had him bound over to the circuit court, charging that he had threatened her life. From reports it seems that Raster is a very bad man and has treated his wife and children horribly. He has beaten them repeatedly and punished them in other inhuman ways. On account of ids threat to kill her if she reported him to the officers, Mrs. Kaster has become very much alarmed and fears for her life.

It is said that Kaster has provided himself with plenty of good warm clothing while his wife and children have been scantily clad. - If reports are true, Mrs. Raster and her children should have the sympathy and support of friends and neighbors and the villain should be punished to the limit of the law.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21, 1917.

GENERAL FUNSTON PAID MILITIA TRIBUTE

Reviewed National Guard at Llano Grande and Said They Were. Equal to Regulars. Major-General Frederick Funston, whose death occurred suddenly at San Antonio, Texas, Monday, reviewed the troops that were encamped at Llano Grande and Mercedes, Texas, during the time Company M, of Rensselaer, and the other third Indiana companies were stationed there. At the end of the review a hasty shelter tent camp was made and the equipment of the soldiers was displayed and the performance so pleased the general that he had all the officers of the division assembled and his chief of- staff informed them that they were in every respect a splendid body of soldiers, approximating regulars of the United States army and that he wished to have the officers communicate to the enlisted men his gratification at the rapid transition from the recruit stage. He said that he felt that these soldiers from civil life would respond to any call and prove their metal under any circumstance.

On that occasion the general reviewed the troops from an automobile. In passing a reviewing station all troops glance toward the reviewing officer when within six naces of his station and continue to look that way until six paces beyond. They were probably 25 yards from him, but it was impressed upon all that his keen eyes were taking in everything that passed and this was later proven when he said that “aside from a few pairs of white breeches” there was no criticism of the review. This remark calls for a bit of explanation. Clothing was difficult to procure and was indifferent in kind when it was secured and the absence of foreign dies had brought forth a number of very poor substitutes that faded with the first washings. The breechesf through no fault of the Soldier, had faded to a very light color and mixed in with soldiers with the khaki colored breeches they could be seen a mile away. Just before the order for marching in review and while the troops were standing at ease in mass formation an order came to have all men with faded breeches placed in the rear ranks. This effort to conceal the light colors, however, was not altogether successful, hence the remark of the famous little general From Llano Grande General Funston went to McAllen to review the New York troops and word reached the Llano Grande troops that he was not pleased with the showing of the New York soldiers, although this may have been gossip, as it was presumed there was some feeling between some regular officers and the officers of the New York guard. From this brief sight of the general it was impossible to form much of an opinion of him, but it may be said that he was much admired by all because of the successful exploits during his adventurous career. Little of stature, he was full of nerve and although he had failed to pass an entrance examination at West Point he had passed in rank all members of the West Point class he sought to enter. He had the dash and initiative that was necessary to secure the confidence .and determination of those who served with him and although some of his exploits required those with him to almost place themselves in the very jaws of death, he never found difficulty id getting the help because he andover again that he would succeed in any undertaking. As a soldier of fortune with the Cubans against Spain and later with the United States in the Spanish-American war he proposed and carried-into execution many remarkable expeditions, probably the most daring of which was the capture of Aguinaldo, who served much the same relation to the Philippines that Villa now does to Mexico. In that expedition he allowed himself to be captured ninety miles from the nearest United States troops except the few under hw own command and after his capture he had his own troops suddenly appear and overpower Aguinaldo and his army.

General Funston was only 5 feet 5 inches tall and usually weighed only about 120 pounds, but he was all vigor and what he did was based upon the power of his own reasoning. Last year during the time that the soldiers were serving along the border a Baptist evangelist desired to hold a revival meeting in the post at Fort Sam Houston near San Antonio,Jßut General Funston would not permit it. The minister was insistent and made remarks criticising the action of the general, but “Fighting Fred” came back with all the vigor and vitrol he possessed and said that he had a program of training that he didn’t want upset by any religious excitement, that revivals were all right in their place but that a training camp was not the place. Some of the good Baptists of Texas were much put out at his remarks but General Funston stood pat and there was no revival. His death at the age of fifty-one removes from the army one of its most capable and forceful leaders at a time when his personality would have had much to do in bringing into training any who may be called into service and whose leadership could have been looked to with confidence and security. The nation has cause to be proud of him and every heart should keenly feel that his death has removed from the country a man whose life was devoted to the improvement of humanity- He done much to aid in banishing Spain from Ouba and in restoring peace in the Philippines and thet better living now possible in those places, where education and a knowledge of Chris-

Simon Leopold Will Engage In Business In the West.

Simon Leopold, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Leopold, of this city, who went to Colorado some time ago for relief from lung trouble, is recovering very satisfactorily but will not return to Indiana for fear of a recurrence of his ailment. His brother, Isaac Leopold, of Wolcott, started for Denver Tuesday. He will risit with Simon and help him arrange to open a business in the west. " Simon’s many friends will regret to know that he will not return to make his home here, but all will be pleased to know that he will be able to enjoy good health in his western home. The Republican joins with his many friends in wishing him happiness and success in his new location and business.

THE WEATHER. For Indiana—Cloudy tonight; probably rain or snow north and central portions: warmer northeast portion Thursday: generally fair and colder.

tianity has followed military occupation might bring the conclusion that General Funston and his fighting zeal hski accomplished as much in the world’s progress as the Baptist evangelist who was peeved because he could not conduct a revival at the army post and there does not need to be any conflict in their respective fields either. Some times the world needs the sabre to augment the praiyer, just as crops need cultivation to assist the rains and the sun for their development. This chain of thought could readily lead me into a discussion of the needs of distracted Mexico but that is an old issue and I will conclude with the observation that had General Funston been given a free hand in the affairs along the Mexican border there would have been no Villa today and there would have been no raids on American soil in future years. Accomplishing things like this constituted Fred Funston’s religion and an American public should praise him and God will bless and care for his departed spirit MAJ. GEO. H. HEALEY.

FACTORY TO LOCATE HERE SOON

Hoth Company of Chicago, Makers of Household Dresses Will Locate Here Soon Rensselaer is to have another factory, which will give employment to one hundred girls and women—most of whom will be labor secured from our own city, to do the work. The company which has chosen our city as tiie place for their future operations has been established for the past eight years and is a good substantial company. Its field of operation during these years has been in” Chicago. It has been reported that this new concern was to occupy the old'match factory building, which is incorrect. The firm will be located up town, just where, has not been decided yet, but there are two or three places now under consideration. There are many objectionable features about the match factory building for a concern of this sort and the officials of the concern readily saw this apd insisted that another building be -secured. A clean, light, well-ventilated building is wanted—one that will be entirely sanitairy and will not impair the health of the young ladies who do the work. The reason that the company desires to leave Chicago and locate in the country is on account of the improved health conditions and the better class of labor that may be secured in the rural districts. The company is well fixed and is an assured success. At the present time they have many orders, it is said. Nothing is asked from our people and the concern will operate strictly on their own money. Mr. Roth, the head of the concern will be in Rensselaer this week to make further arrangements for the removal here.

Any young ladies of women who desire work, whether they have had experience in this line or not, may secure employment by making application. At least one hundred are wanted. Experienced seamstresses have £n excellent opportunity to secure permanent employment, while those who have no experience will receive payment during the time they are learning.
