ELEVEN COMPANIES OF STATE MILITIA AT HAMMOND.

j Eleven companies of state troops ; Wednesday night were ordered rno- . bilized for transportation to HamImond, where efforts to end a strike of the , employes of the Standard Steel Car company are said to have failed. The call for state troops was received Wednesday by Governor Goodrich from Sheriff Lew Barnes of .Lake county and Mayor Dan Brown of Hammond, who stated that they believed the situation would be 'beyond their control by Thursday morning. \ The troops arrived in Hammond at noon today. The companies ordered out include two from Indianapolis and one each from Fort Wayne, Shelbyville, Elkhart, Goshen, Attica, Gary, Union City and Newcastle. Later in the night-the Bloomington company was ordered to go to Hammond, making a force of eleven companies composed of approximately eight hundred men. The troops were instructed to take ample supplies of ammunition but no ba|yonets. Five hundred cots were secured from Fort Benjamin Harrison. Arrangements will be made for feeding the men in Hammond. Three companies Were mobilized last week, but because of the belief that the strike would be settled amicably, plans for sending the troops to Hammond were discontinued early this week.

BEWARE OF STRANGERS BUYING JUNK.

It has come to my notice that strangers come into tMs community to buy junk and represent that they are purchasing the same for me. I have but one man, Omar Wilcox, authorized to ■purchase junk for me. All “ others representing themselves as agents for me have nd* authority whatever from me, and I will not be responsible for anything they do. ' If you will call me when you have junk, for sale I will buy it of you and give you the top of the market. Strangers often steal and seldom pay market prices. SAMUEL KARNOWSKY,

POSTMASTER HAS LARGE DEMAND FOR GOVERN- * MENTSUPPLIES. , I . Postmaster Littlefield sent in an order Wednesday amounting to $475.95 for government foodstuffs now being offered to the A large number of orders are being placed and Thursday’s list will he even more than the Wednesday order.

In Wednesday’s orders were included 168 cans of baked beans, 312 cans of corn, 648 cans of peas, 600 pounds of navy beans and 648 pounds of bacon.

FARMERS WIN AS PRESIDENT LOSES

REPUBLICAN CONGRESS OVERRIDES VETO OF LIGHT REPEAL LAW. Believing that the monstrosity, the daylight saving law, is unnecessary and another of the foolish whims of President Wilson in his abnormal attempt to cater to the city laborer in preference to the farmer and all other people of the nation, the republican congress has overridden the president’s double veto and both the national house of representatives and senate 'have passed the repeal law by a two-thirds vote which was necessary to overcome the executive’s veto. The vote in the house stood 223 to 101 and in the senate 57 to 19., After October 27 the natural laws of the physical world will govern the time and another idiotic notion of an egotist will be relegated to the scrap pile, where still others should be consigned with haste and completeness. No other one act of unnecessary legislation has ever quite so obnoxious to the farmers as this attempt to improve upon the plan of the Almighty.

RECORD OF THE PAST.

No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had In Rensselaer. Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone witht a bad iback; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney / ws, should find comforting words in the following statement. Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St, Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble. I had backaches and headaches for a long time, I had no strength or ambition • and couldn’t sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed on account of the lameless in my back. I couldn’t do my house?, work and 1 knew that my kidneys' were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and’they cured me of | all those ailments, I have never had •an attack since.” (Statement given 1 May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore said: “I ,am never without Doan’s in the' hotase. --.They ate the best kidney medicine I know of,” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get tDoan’s Kidney Pill*~—the same that Mrs. Moore had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. A

HEALEY URGED TO MAKE RACE

STRONG SENTIMENT . FAVORS COLONEL HEALEY FOR GOVERNOR. Col. George H. Healey, Indiana’s most popular officer in the late war, is being urged on all hands to allow his friends to get back of-a movement to make him the republican nominee as the chief executive of this state. _ The editor of the Republican is a very close personal friend of Colonel’ Healey. We were class mates in school and since that time have been very intimate. We believe we know the colonel, and that knowledge convinces us that he ds thoroughly capable of the high position to which his friends are so anxious that he be elected. The colonel has a strong, pleasing personality. Few men possess his ability to make and keep friends. As he was the friend of everybody in this county, so he was the idel of the soldiers. Though a strict disciplinarian and always insisting upon the closest observation of all army rules and regulations, yet he, was loved, admired and obeyed by his* boys. He is one of the very few army higher officers about which this statement would be true. Popularity, the deserving recognition of service rendered, and personal sacrifices- made for home and country while having a very important place could not alone be considered in the qualifications of a man to be governor of this great states The chief executive of Indiana must have ability and efficiency. The record of Col. George H. Healey from the time of the death of his father, when he was but a lad, his care and support of his widowed mother, his success in the newspaper business and. the exceptional ability shown by his efficient army* service mark him as one of Indiana’s foremost Then, thoroughly capable to be entrusted with the office for which he is being urged to make the race. Colonel Healey has never wavered in his faith to the Republican part£. He has ever been steadfast and faithful, believing that the success of that party meant progress, prosperity, peace and plenty. >. . ■ He has never been a candidate for office but has exerted a powerful influence for the success of his party. But for him Jasper county might 'have been found in the "ranks of the enemy as .the assaults made by the democrats of the county were often vigorous and seemingly sure of success. While a pronounced partisan, he has at air times had the respect and often, the admiration of those who opposed him politically. He was always fair and square, open and above board and never resorted to means not thoroughly honorable. If nominated he will receive the votes of a very large number of democrats. That the soldiers .are to be rewarded for the sacrifices made and the services rendered by .political preferment there is no question. What the colonel’s decision may be in this matter we are not able to state at this time, but we do not believe he will 'be able. to turn a deaf ear to of his host of admiring friends. ’

DEMOTTE HOME COMING.

All of the soldiers from DeMotte and vicinity have returned home and the citizens of that village are planning to give these returned boys a home coming welcome Friday- evening. A number from this city will attend the - celebration and A few have been asked to make addresses. A good time is planned and ’everybody is invited. ' '
