UNDERGOES SERIOUS OPERATION AT HOSPITAL.

Mrs. Beam, wife of W. H. Beam r the Monon station agent, underwent a very serious operation at the local hospital Thursday evening. The 1 operation was made necessary on account of the recurrence of a trouble for which Mrs. Beam underwent an operation some years ago. The operation was a very critical one and the final outcome cannot be determined for a number of days. However, her condition today is very satisfactory and much better than might have been expected from the nature of her trouble and the gravity of the operation. Her children, Paul, of this city; H. W., of Chicago; Donald, and wife, of Monon, and Mr. and Mrs. F. X. Busha, of Lafayette, were in the city at the time of the .operation.

FROM THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY

CHAUNCEY WOOD WRITES A LETTER FROM HIS TEXAS HOME. I■ - • McAllen, Texas, July 24. Mr. Harvey Davisson, Rensselaer, Ind., Dear Sir: Thursday evening and supper over so will visit with you a little while. We have been having, more rain the last few days. Last Thursday afternoon I was in town in the car after some woven wire and a little lumber. I hadn’t been in town but a short time till I noticed a storm coming, so I loaded in one roll of thirty-two-inch hog wire and beat it for home, but the storm caught me before I was half way there. Ihe rain soon made the roads slick and the wind turned me around in the road three times. When I got to the levee the wind was so strong I could not drive the car up grade against it and had to wait two or three minutes before I could get' across. Once the wind blew the back end of the car around so I was crosswise in the road headed for the ditch and a fence post. Before 1 could stop the car I was in the ditch and on top of a fence post with the top barb wire up over the radiator. I slammed her in reverse, backed off of the fence, out of.the ditch and started on again. Well, I finally got home just as the rain was over, but nothing was broke about the car, so we are as happy as ever again. It started in raining again about supper time and we had a steady rain most all night. It suited us fine, for we had cut the alfalfa and sudan hay and were thinking about irrigating in a few days. Say, I received ■ a letter from mother a couple of days ago, and she says people at home have the (impression that everyone who invested in land here has lost everything they put in it, myself included in the bunch. Some one told mother that Lawyer Parkison had been sent down here to get anything he could out of the company for us Jasper county people. Now, this is all news to me. No one has lost wlhat they put into the land that 1 know of; . I was talking to Parkison when he was here. F was trying to find something wron with everything, and fishing for i he could get. I don’t know what got, but don t think he got much. The last letter I received from you, you were ready to start down here with some prospects. I met the train with my car but you failed to appear. I -would have answered your letter at the time, but it would not have reached you before you started for the south. I have looked for you most every week since then. Then I received mother’s letter telling the reports she was hearing. Now, I wish you would write and tell me what you know idbout it. Does Mr. Lattaner know of the report? Do you think 1 could straighten things out any by coming home this fall for a week ; or so?

We have 'been eating roasting ears out of ithe corn fields for some time. Some of our corn is beginning to dent. Will. soon sbamt feeding it to the hogs. Did I tell you I had purchased four brood sows and a (boar? The sows will have pigs in about two months. We have a few chickens, but haven’t been able to find a cow that suits us. We went deer hunting several days ago but had no luck. We saw several fresh tracks, but could not catoh up with them. I killed a rattlesnake -on the trip measuring six feet nine inches 'with thirteen rattles. We are goi ing deer hunting again soon and hope at least to see one. I I notice by the paper that quite a tittle land is changing hands un Jasper county. I suppose you are pretty busy. How are the crops looking in Jasper county? How is that new brand of rye turning out ‘that was sown last fall? | Some corn here has been gathered quite a 'wha® and is Bellm g around two dollars a bushel. Broom corn is a bad crop here this year and the quality is pretty low. My prospects on broom corn look pretty slim, but |we hope 'there is a better

day coming. < land values are increasing herd as well as in Jasper. Last week McColl had four coaches of excursionlists here. I wrote to Mrs. PaAison the first part of this month, sending her a bill for her Mexican house and the flat water on her farm for the first half of 1919, which I sent down with Charles Spitler. She told me to send her these bills and aha would forward the money. Mr. Horn advises me to divide the crop with her, giving one third and keeping two-thirds, she paying for the water used for irrigation. Several are renting this way this year. I also sent her a bill of $l4O , for water to irrigate. I have not heard from her since writing. I wonder if you would care to speak to her aibout it But if you would rather not, let me know and I twill write to her again. Must dose now. Please answer and toll me what you

HAYS DECLINES TO MAKE RACE

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CHAIRMAN WILL NOT BE IN RACE FOR GOVERNORSHIP. Will H. Hays, Indiana, republican national chairman, and, by the way, just about itihe best little chairman that the Republican party nas ever had, in a letter to County Chairman George H. McLain has the following to say in declining to make the race for the Indiana governorship: Indianapolis, Ind., Thursday, July 31, 1919. Mr. G. H. McLain, Rensselaer, Ind. My Dear Mr. McLain: I appreciate your letter most sincerely. It is very difficult for me <to express the gratitude I feel for the assurances that have come to me relative Ito the governorship. The friendship and confidence that these assurances prove, mean more to me than anything else. When the precinct committeemen, the county chairmen, the district chairmen, the senators, the congressmen, the governor, the executive and advisory committeemen, the republican editors and all of you who always take a real interest in the party’s welfare are actually practically unanimous in urging this, it moves me very, very deeply, of course, and I shall never forget it. I most earnestly wish it were possible for me to do it, but I simply cannot further consider doing so. The work in connection with the ■ niatodnal chairmanship is daily be- j coming so absolutely all absorbing and its importance vital, that I cannot think of anything else. It was thought iby many of my friends that I could do both, but this national'wotk is becoming so tremendous, and the urging that I continue ( by those who are carrying the bur-, den everywhere in that work is so earnest and insistent that it is very | clear to me new that it will be absolutely impossible in the dosing months of next campaign to do both jobs in -the way you would want me to do them. I know that I could

know about the reports that mother heard and see if you can find, out how they started. I have not written home to anyone against Anything here. Tell me what you think About my making a trip north some time this fall so I can plan my work. When would be the best time to come? My regards to your boy, Verne, and all my Jasper county friends.

Parties desiring to ibuild new homes, or to purchase homes And -pay for them in the same manner that rents are paid, should call on me for an interview on tihe very best and easiest plan for getting a home instead of paying rent, and having nothing to show for it. A great many homes are now being -paid for by this installment plan, and now that rents are so high everyone Should investigate the opportunities to buy instead of renting. Call on me at my office in the Odd Fellows’ building. ARTHUR H. HOPKINS.

Mrs. George E. Murray and daughter, Helen, returned Thursday from a vacation spent at Sturgeon Bay, Wis.

not give the one hundred per cent efficiency in initiative and execution due both positions if I had the other on my mind. Believing this as I db, my duty is clear. I must do one or the other. There is no doubt about a complete republican victory in both Indiana and the nation and it is simply a question for me to decide where I can do the largest good Ito that end and where my duty lies. The more I study the matter the more sure I am I must continue where I am until this job is Completely finished with the greatest national republican victory we ’ have ever had, regardless of my own great desire to stay jight here. Therefore, I cannot be a candidate for governor and I think I should announce this decision right aiway. I am going to do this at the republican editorial meeting next Friday and before that I want to send you this word of deepest gratitude and affection. There are many things to be done in Indiana for the state’s development. Though I cannot take now I quite as active a part personally in putting ideas into, execution I am certainly going to help, for here my heart is first always, and I want to keep in closest touch' with you. Let me hear from you frequently ■ as matters develop. With assurances of very warmest friendship always, Sincerely yours, WILL H. HAYS.
