Copenhagen, Oct. 6.—Prince Maxmilian of Baden, the new German imperial chancellor, anonunced in the reichstag yesterday that he had sent a note through the Swiss govenfinent to President Wilson in which he had requested Mr. Wilson to take up the question of bringing about peace and to communicate with the other belligerents regarding the subject. The chancellor told the reichstag he had addressed his note to the President of the United States because Mr. Wilson in his message to congress on January 8, 1918, and in his later proclamations, particularly his New York speech on September 27, had proposed a program for a general peace which Germany and her allies could accept as a basis for negotiations.

DEATH CLAMS JOHN E. RANDLE

John E. Randle, son of James T. Randle, of this city, died at his late home in Sayre, Okla., Saturday afternoon, October 5. The cause of his death was heart failure. About six weeks ago the deceased was here an< at that time he was in 'very poor health. A few a telegram was •received here by Edward Randle, hie brother, who left at once for Sayre and arrived there just in time to see his brother alive. Services 'will be in charge of Rev. E. W. Strecker and interment will be in Weston cemetery. The deceased was the third son of James T. Randle *** this city. He was born July 10, 1864. His mother was before her marriage Mary E. Overton. Her death occured August 14, 1877. The deceased is survived by three brothers, Robert and Thomas of Kansas, Edward of Rensselaer and one sister, Mrs. D. S. Makeever of Newton township, this county. This is the first death of a child that has come to the aged father, James T. Randle, who will be eighty-seven years of age next Thursday. n John E. Randle’s wife was before her marriage Miss Emma Hollingsworth, of Remington. She and their two sons, Russell and Luther, survive the father. leather is in business in Sayre, but Russell is serving with the American soldiers in France.

We all know when to stop after we have gone too far. There’s many a weak excuse given for a strong breath. Nothing makes a girl so tired as having to sit down at a dance. Wives “marriage is a lottery,” but husbands call it a ‘.‘shell game.” A good housekeeper always knows that a restaurant kitchen must be awfully dirty. Lots of men who have good eyesight can’t work unless they have their glasses. After all, it isn’t a girl’s clothes that attract a man. It is what she is wearing them on. A married man never has as much love for his wife as he has for his wife’s husband. What has become of the old-fash-oined man who always had bread crumbs in his whiskers? Another sure thing is that the new baby isn’t going to resemble the relative who has the most money. Most of the early birds are that way because they have to scratch up worms for the late risers.

When she is 17 she is the flower of the family. When she is 27 she is the wall flower of the family. A woman caii’t tell the difference between her husband’s peace of mind and a piece of her own mind. The only time some men remember to put their best foot forward is when there is a hole in the other shoe. When a princess has a homely face she gets a lot of consolation out of the fact that she has a pretty profile. There isn’t much hope for a boy who can have a new pocket knife for a whole hour without cutting himself. If a princess is afflicted with an overdose of wish bone, she likes to imagine that it is ambition that ails her. Another sure thing is that the man who is trying to sell is more polite than the man who is being asked to buy.

You never heard much about the ligh cost -of living until the chicken louse in the back yard was replaced by the garage. Babies and married women are usually crying because they want something they don’t get or get something they don’t want. You may not believe it, but the members of the peace organizations have just as many battles at home as other married people. If we could see ourselves as others see us a lot or homely pricnesses would get headaches every time they rubbered into a mirror. After you manage to tear yourself away from a man who talks for an hour and doesn’t say a word, you wonder why they don’t muzzle dogs. A‘newspaper man finds it hard to decide which is the bigger pest—the man who wants it put in the paper or the man who wants it kept out of the paper. WANTED —Farm hand, steady job all winter.

WAR TROPHIES WERE HERE

EXHIBITION TRAIN DRAWS MAMMOTH EARLY MORN- x ING CROWD. The War Trophy train arrived here this morning at 7;30 a. m., and was greeted by one of the largest gatherings ever seen in this city. The train consisted of a day coach, a Pullman, three flat cars and a camouflaged box car. On the flat cars were trophies that had been captured from the Germans, consisting of machine guns, cannon, aeroplanes and trench mortars. They were very interesting but the soldiers and the speakers were the most interesting. ’ The meeting was in charge of Dixon C. Williams, of Chicago. He made a most pointed address and attempted to shame those who had not bought as many bonds as they should. His remarks were plain and must have gone - home to those who had not thought of their duty in this matter. The Republican has made some very plain remarks in reference to buying of bonds and the discharge of other patriotic duties, but none of* these have been as keen and cutting as those made by Mr. Williams. With his sharp-edged tongue he must have drove home -to many the fact that they were slackers of the very worst kind. And while he could say these sharp things he was also able to make the most tender and beautiful remarks which stirred the soul of love and devotion.

Mr. Williams introduced three returned American soldiers and two French soldiers. One of these Frenchmen made a very interesting address, telling of the valor of his comrade, who was covered with many medals. The French comrade was a native of Alsace Lorraine, but had escaped from Germany and fought with the French. No greater patriotic address was ever made in this city than the one given by Charles F. Horner, who followed the Frenchman. He is a talented orator and a man of profound scholarship. He held the closest attention of the great throng of people. His picture of the kaiser’s dream of world power in imitation of other military men was very graphic. He showed that .each of the men which the kaiser had taken as his ideals had met defeat and that the same defeat was now coming to the kaiser. He made a great appeal to all to buy bonds' 1 and make themselves square with the soldier boys when they return. * This was a rousing gathering and will certainly greatly aid Jasper county in putting over our Fourth Liberty Loan, which was this mottling but 70 per cent subscribed. The speaker spoke of France putting over her eighth war loan of $6,000,000,000 in 7 hours. Yet this, the wealthiest nation in the world, has been nibbling for two weeks on our fourth loan of the same amount. The train left here promptly at 9:30 a. m. for Monticello.

Mrs. D. E. Wheat returned to her home in Medora, 111., today after several days’ visit with her husband, who is working on the dredge north of town. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Haskell, of Chicago, returned home today after visiting Mrs. Haskell’s brother, J. R. Sigler, at Mt. Ayr, and his sister, Mrs. Winona Dunlap, of this city. On account of the order preventing public gatherings there will be no funeral services at the church, but services will be. conducted at the grave in Weston cemetery, in Rensselaer, at 3 p. m. Tuesday, services being conducted by Rev. Strecker, of the M. E. church.

GRIDIRON NEWS.

Our high school football team has started different now. After the Morocco defeat the boys worked hard and every one took an interest in the game, working up lots of pep and high school spirit. Remington came, to be defeated by our boys by a score of ,60 to 6. Rensselaer’s back field went through the Remington line at will for nine touch-downs. Babcock’s trusty toe put 6 points to our favor. Logansport is the next rival, and it is hoped that a large crowd will attend to back up the team. xx

OUR BANNER BOND BUYER

HANGING GROVE TENANT BUYS $5,000 FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN BONDS. Virgil Hobson, who lives on the Rose farm in Hanging Grove township, has bought $5,000.00 of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds. This is the best piece of patriotism we have heard of in Jasper county. Mr. Hobson is a tenant and has made every cent of this money on the farm on which he now lives. He has spent every dollar he has in the world for bonds and has nothing left but his farming outfit There are two points upon which Mt. Hobson deserves the greatest commendation. His splendid ability to make money and his patriotism of placing every bit of it at the disposal of £he government at this critical time is worthy of praise. What about the farmer who owns a farm as large as the one on which Mr. Hobson lives and has bought but a one hundred dollar bond? We believe Mr. Hobson is the banner bond buyer of Jasper courfty and possibly of the state. He deserves the very greatest commendation.

NOTES ON SPANISH INFLUENZA

Epidemic influenza (Spanish in.fluenza, is an acute infectious disease; has prevailed throughout all ' Surope this year and in many respects is similar to the disease which prevailed in pandemic form in 18891890. In April it appeared on the western front. In May 30 per cent of the population of Spain were attacked, hence it derives its name, Spanish influenza. It has been noted that the spread of the disease follows routes of travel, crowded trains, street cars, etc. The symptoms of the disease, vary in different localities and during different months. The symptoms of the present pandemic have been an acute onset, often very sudden, with bodily weakness and pains in the head, eyee, back and often over the entire body. Vomiting and dizziness are frequent. Chilly sensations are' usual. The temperature from 100 to 104. Pulse low. Appetite gone. Prostration marked. Eye lids are red, and mucuous membrane of nose, throat and bronchi give evidence of inflammation. Bronchitis, pneumonia and middle ear trouble often follow the disease. In Spain diarrhoea was frequent, but at present in the United States constipation appears with many cases. All evidence points to direct contact being the means of spread, and from the local symptoms it is assumed that the nose and throat have been the points of inoculation. Coughing and sneezing, except behind a handkerchief, is as great a sanitary offense as promiscuous spitting, and should be equally

condemned. On account of many of our physicians being called to army service the public should carefully read these symptoms and help us prevent this disease in every way possible. If satisfied you are taking the disease call or consult your physician early that he may better cope with the conditions. Isolate the cases as quickly as possible and help us rid the country of Epidemic influenza. When *t is possible call your physician during the day, as night calls will be more expensive and the doctors are working day and night now and must have some rest at night to give you good service. _ . F. H. HEMPHILL, County Health Commissioner.
