FORD AND DORT IN SUNDAY COLLISION.

I A Ford car, the property of Charles Hague, who resides on the Jesse Gwin farm, south of Rensselaer, collided with a Dort, owned by ■ Howard Hail, at the Simon Cook ' corner, eight miles south of town, ! Sunday evening, with the result that ■ both automobiles were slightly damaged. ’ | The Dort car was being driven • west 'by Mrs. Hall and the Ford was , being driven by Mr. Hague’s son, who was going south at the time. i Both drivers became confused upon • meeting at the corner and each ; thought the other would slow down, and when neither did, the Ford crashed into the side of the Dort. The Ford was overturned and the i Dort was pushed (into a telephone pole at the side of the road. The fenders, windshield and front axle of the Ford were badly damaged and the Dort was also considerably battered up.'by the impact. ..... Mr. >ind Mrs. Hague and four children occupied the Ford at the time of the accident and Mr. and Mrs. Hall and baby were in the Dort. The Hall baby was thrown clear of the machine, but suffered only some minor bruises. Mrs. Hague had her lip badly torn and a Rensselaer physician found it necessary to take several stitches dn it. Her 'four-year-old son was also slightly bruised. Both cars were comparatively new ones, the Dort having been purchased by Mr. Hall but two weeks before, and the Ford being one that was purchased this spring. Mr. Hague had taken out insurance on the car only a few days ago. Neither party blames the other and it was simply one of those accidents wherein one was as much to blame as the other.

Did you notice anything unusual about yesterday? No? Well, anyway, .there has not been, and will not be another day just like it this year. It was not different in the matter of weather or temperature, or anything like that—infact, in sudo matters 'it was quite Vike b&zens of other days-* But different —ip fact, unique. Oh, well, it is too hot to discuss the matter; so here’s the answer. Yesterday, June 22, you k now — or do you?—was the longest day of the year. Now you remember, don’t you? That the sun rose at 5:28 o’clock and set at 8:35 o’clock. Today will be just sixty seconds shorter than yesterday, and tomorrow sixty seconds shorter than today. Sixty seconds of daylight, to be sure. No; the length of the entire day is the same old twentyfour hours as usual.

ADD TO HEREFORD HERD.

Thompson & Bell, proprietors of the Quality farm in Union township, have added to their herd of Herefords the entire herd of Hany Lawson, of Otterbein, consisting of Twenty-four females and a Fairfax bull which was sold by Warren T. McCray for $4,000. These gentlemen are contemplating the purchase of fifteen more high grade animals •of this breed.

GERMANY VOTES TO ACCEPT

NEW GOVERNMENT IN FAVOR OF PEACE BY VOTE OF 237 TO 138. Berlin, June 22.—Germany will sign the peace treaty of the allied and associated powers. The national assemby this afternoon by a ivote of 237 to 138 decided, to sign. ! The assembly also voted confidence •in the new government of Herr ■ Bauer, 236 to 89. Sixty-eight members abstained from voting. i Qn the question of signing the • treaty five members of the assembly abstained from voting. j Before the vote of c ons idence was | taken, Herr Bauer, the new premier, declared that the government would sign the treaty, but without. acknowledging the responsibility of the German people for the o war and' without accepting the obligations I contained in articles 227 to 230 in •the treaty relating to the trial of the : former emperor and the extradition of other German personages. [BULLETIN.] Paris, June 22.—Communication from the Germans to the council of four, relating to the vote of the assembly at Weimar, reached President Wilson at 7:40 o’clock this evening and are now being considered by the council. One of the communications is understood to announce that the assembly voted in favor of signing the treaty at certain reservations. It is not known what the reservations are, beyond a declination to admit the guilt of Germany in starting the war and to give up the -former emperor for trial. [BULLETIN.] Paris, June 22.—The German government has appointed Dr. Haniel von Hatimhausern, of the peace delegation, to conduct the peace arrangements at Versailles. It is understood that the allies insist on absolute unconditional acceptance of .the terms. FOE’S DECISION NO SURPRISE. Washington, June 22.—'Decision of the German national assembly , today to sign. the treaty of peace formulated by the Versailles conference was in no wise surprising to officials at Washington. Belief had been general in official circles here since the Germans were handed the peace terms that eventually the German delegation would be instructed to affix its signatures. This feeling was much accentuated by the fall of the Scheidmann cabinet. Shakeup Paved Way. Many officials predicted privately at the outset of the negotiations with the German delegates that the ministry headed by Philip Scheidemann would give way to another cabinet before the actual f signing took place. The large majority recorded in the Weimar assembly in favor of signing the treaty was considered by officials here as an accurate reflection of the dominant desire of the German people for a peace at the earliest moment. • No Word from Wilson. The white house tonight had received no communication from President Wilson subsequent to the receiving in Paris of news of the German assembly’s action. Consequently there was no definite information obtainable as to when the president ’ would leave France.

DEATH CAME TO MISS MAGGIE GLEASON SUNDAY EVENING.

Miss Margaret Gleason, who had been in failing health for several months, passed away at her home on Cullen street at 5:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Margaret M. Gleeson was the youngest of nine children born to Patrick and Margaret Gleason (nee Gleason). She was born in Union county, Indiana, August 10, 1859, and was, therefore, 59 years, 10 months and 12 days old at the time of her death. She moved to Hanging Grove township with her parents over 51 years ago. Seventeen years ago she came to this city with her brother, T. J. Gleason, with whom she had since resided. She is survived by three brothers and three sisters, namely: Dennis, I of Liberty; Michael, of Phoenix, 1 Arizona; Timothy J., of this city; Mrs. Maria Dooley, of Indianapolis, i and Mrs. Nora Worden and Mrs. Elizabeth German, both of this efrty. Two brothers, Patrick and John, preceded her in death. The funeral will be held Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock at St. Augustine’s Catholic church and burial will be made in Mt. Calvary ceme-I tery, south of town. Friends wishing to view the re- ■ -mains may do so at the late resi- | dence on Tuesday afternoon from 3 Jto 5 o’clock. Kindly omfit flowers. '

LOCAL MAN HAS BIG LAW SUIT

CHICAGO MAIL ORDER HOUSE SUES PROMINENT MERCHANT. The fall court docket shows record of a law suit of such size as to interest all the lawyers in, this part of Indiana. Jasper county has had very few really big law suits and the Republican considers that it has made a newspaper “scoop” in being able at this time to give to its readers particulars concerning that which promises to develop into a national fight. You will recall reading in our columns some time past an advertisement which stated tfeat “the local merchants would meet the prices as quoted by any or all mail order firms on any and all kinds of merchandise.” Evidently that didn’t particularly disturb the mail order houses, if it did, they didn’t protest, but since that time Hilliard & Hamill have advertised that they would sell (and are-sellin) standard grades of merchandise CHEAPER than ANY mail order house. The mail order houses claim it impossible, but Mr. Hilliard is confident that he will be able to win the suit in as much as he IS and HAS BEEN selling work shirts for 85c, while M. W. & Co.’s catalogue No. 88, page 214, price them at SI.OO.

“BOUND IN MOROCCO.”

Jack and Jill went to Beaverville to spend an hour of leisure. Jill spent her Jack, and coming back, Morocco searched and seized her. ■Moral: overload; you can’t get away with it. It shows on a man’s knees and on a car’s springs. Brass tacks now. The real trouble with most loads is that they carry too much car. Why keep up a heavy .machine when you can carry the same number of passengers, etc., etc., in a Sensible Six, and outdemonstrate a heavy car any place on the road?

“WHO BELIEVES IN SIGNS?”

MAP OF PERSHING NOW IN WASHINGTON MUSEUM.

There is now on exhibition in the United States national museum at Washington what is probably the most interesting and valuable single record of America’s part in the great war —Gen. Pershing’s own secret battle map, transported here from his headquarters in France and set up in the museum exactly as it was there. It was Gen. Pershing’s plea to have the map displayed to the public to show the people of the United States the actual military results obtained by their armies. For example, at the hour the armistice was signed, the United States forces were holding 145 kilometers of front, of which 134 kilometers were active. This is made plain on the map by the colored pins and tags by which the different allied and enemy armies are shown. The map itself shows the location of all divisions, both the enemy and allied, on the western front; the correct battle line, commanding generals, location of headquarters and boundaries down to include armies and various other information concerning divisions, as for example, whether they were ftesh or tried. The map was developed and kept 'posted to date daily by tihe third section of Gen. Pershing’s staff and used iby them and other superidF officers during the active operations for strategical studies and purposes of general information. It is evident that during the war the information which this map contained was such thlat the enemy would have spared no pains to secure it. Every precaution was taken to insure its secrecy sand to this end the map was always kept locked up, and in addition was kept in a small compartment formed by a closed screen. Furthermore, access to this may was had only by the half dozen chiefs of the general headquarters staff sections, whose work was directly affected by the changes shown on the map. This map appears to have been unique. The staff officers from the different allied headquarters, who had occasion to see the map, declared that it was the most complete representation of the opposing forces that they had seen. Gen. Pershing, in his letter to the adjutant general suggesting the public display of the map in the national museum, says: “It 'has occurred to me that this particular map, with its accompanying installation, will have a great historical value. It will be of intense interest to future generations, not only because it was the only map of Uts kind used at these headquarters, but because it shows in a vivid fashion the exact situation at the hour of the armistice.”

KELLNER & CALLAHAN SELL LARGE SEPARATOR.

WIFE CLINGS TO HER FIRST LOVE.

Evansville, Ind., June 20. —Mrs. Julia Valina Barnett today is living with her husband, Charles Barnett, handsome and bronzed soldier, returned from the battlefields of France, while her second husband, John G. Parker, of Philadelphia, was contented to give up his claim to her. Mrs. Barnett today secured an entry in circuit court annulling her i marriage to Parker. ! She wedded Barnett when he came here on a furlough last July. He ' was sent overseas and no word came from him. Last fall the wife was ' notified of his death in action and her mother saw the announcement in the newspaper casualty lists. Some time later the wife met Parker ant. wedded him. They had lived together for six months when the young soU ; dier returned home. The wife immediately left Parker and applied for an annullment of the I second marriage. Parker did not appear in court to contest the case, I being represented merely by counse ’and asserting/<he was satisfied that he had no further claim upon her.
