Medaryville Advertiser: If reports from over near Gifford are verified then a cetain young man of this town stands a splendid chance of getting a steady job of making bind-er-twine at Michigan City. The story has it that this young man attempted an assault on the nine-year-old daughter of a citizen oc that locality. It is further said that the young man has taken French leave and t£at his present whereabouts are unknown. And in telling our readers this it is, except the names, about all we have been able to find out in the matter. The man who thinks he is saving money by getting along without the local paper is a poor economist. Let him begin by figuring w r hat he and his family will lose by not being able to follovf closely the local advertising. The announcements of our merchants are, for the family of limited means, the most valuable in the paper. They tell when bargains can be obtained, and enable the reader to reduce home expenses by an amount far in excess of his subscription. To get the advantages of a bargain sale it is not enough to read a nkmth’s old paper in a barber shop or on a neighbor’s table. You need to get it at the same time your neighbors do, so you may visit the store before the best bargains are gone.

BULLDOZING TACTICS USED

measure if an adjourned meeting was held—without qualifying his statement in that regard at all. A. J. Harmon, who was present at the meeting, butted in and backed up Goff’s charge, and, two of the republican members of the council tell us—w T e were not present at this meeting—said, with a sneer, “This is a sample of the democrats you ask republicans to vote for next Tuesday.” Mr. Gerber resented the imputations cast upon him,, and walking over toward Harmon, said, “I am willing to place my reputation against yours at any time, Mr. Harmon.” The latter says Mr- Gerber called him a liar, but this the other members of the council are unanimous In spying they did not hear, if said, and Mr. Gerber also denies it. He is not a man in' the habit of calling others liars even should he think so. Harmon jumped up and caught hold of Mr. Gerber, and but for the interference of bystanders would have struck him. The affair finally quieted down and the franchise matter was passed to second reading, Mr. Gerber, as was his right and duty, we believe, voting against a suspension of the rules for its immediate passage, because of the 75 year feature, and it must go through the regular routine of three meetings before its adoption. The disgraceful action of Mr. Harmon caused much comment on the street Sunday and Monday, and was condemned by both friends and foes of the proposed franchise —we say foes, meaning those opposed to the tieing up of the city streets for so long a period as 75 years, as there are no other serious objections to the franchise. Mr. Harmon has no financial interests in Jasper county or Rensselaer whatever, not owning a foot of real estate here. He had no business whatever to attempt to dictate legislation to any member of the council, and he now regrets that he allowed hie seal for Purtelle, et al., to cause him to make such a spectacle of himself. He denies making the insulting remark about the democrats accred-

ited to him by two of the republican members of the council with whom we talked, one of whom also said he cussed until the air was blue. And to his credit, be it said, that we have never known him to insult men before who differed with him politically. He was reared a democrat, but perhaps for policy sake has become a republican. He has a perfect right to his political views the same as those who differ with him, and this matter was not a poltical matter at all. Many citizens, both democrats and republicans, object to the granting of franchises that even their children’s children may not live to see expire. Mr. Gerber coula only show where he stood on. the question by his vote, and he had a perfect right to exercise the privilege to vote against the franchise because of this feature, or any other, without such intereference from outsiders. In our opinion—and we want to say right here in reply to the dirty insinuations of the Dr. Washburn, et al. sheet, that the editor of The Democrat did not see Councilman Gerber at any time between, the regular and the adjourned meeting nor talk to him one word in regard to this franchise —Mr. Gerber did precisely right in this matter. The democrats of Rensselaer, and many republicans, ■stand behind him in his action, and would that we had more Gerbers on the council and fewer others who are ready at any time to do the bidding of the corporations seeking special priveliges from the city. The charge of Dr*. Washburn’s paper that Gerber is an obstructionist is correct. He obstructed that proposed telephone franchise which would have made the citizens of Rensselaer pay from 60 to 100 per cent more for their telephones when it was attempted to be rushed through without the people being given a hearing, and in which two of the owners of the Republican are admitted stockholders. He has also obstructed other measures that were against the interests of the people at various times, although the only democralc member on the council. His vote has always been in the interests of the citizens as a whole and against special priveliges to the few who fatten off the earnings of the taxpayers. The term “obstructionist” as used by the Republican, in view of the services rendered the people of Rensselaer during the term he has been a member of the Common Council, is an honor to any man.

MISS FRONA AUSTIN DROWNED.

Daughter of Former Wheatfield Resident Drowned In Florida, Where Family Recently Moved. Frank Austin and family, who but a few weeks ago moved from near Wheatfield to Florida, are having plenty of trouble. They arrived at their new home just after the great storm had passed over that part of the coast and left the country bare and desolate. Then, on Sunday morning, October 24th, Frona and Leona arose early and started for the seaside to see the sun rise out of the ocean. They took with them their old dog and started fdr the foot-passenger ferry, which was near two miles from their home. They stepped on the boat and pulled for the other shore, the channel being near 80 feet wide.

The boat was partly full of water, they not taking time to bail it out. The voyage across was made in safety, but as they stepped on the end of the boat next the shore, the boat went down and they were both thrown into the water. When Leona recovered consciousness she could not see her sister, but the faithful dog was swimming around in the water where the boat went down. She made her way aa fast as possible to a club house about a quarter of a mile away and secured help. After some effort the body of the unfortunate young lady was recovered, but too late to restore life. It is thought the dog saved the life of Leona and was making a great effort to find and save Frona. The family is almost wild with grief. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in their sorrow.
