John Gwin took Bessie Bowsher, a daughter of Levi Bowsher of Rensselaer, to Indianapolis the first of the week and placed her in the Long hospital, where she will probably undergo another operation. The girl is about twenty years of age, and a few months ago was operated on by local physicians, the local board of charities bearing the expense and have since been looking after her, and will also pay the expense of the operation and treatment at Indianapolis. She had been growing considerably worse of late and for this reason she was taken to the Indianapolis hospital. O. L. Brown, of the Lafayette and est.'rn Ry. Co., who is now located at Lafayette, together with Dr. Pettigrew of Logansport, also connected with' said company, and George L. Sewell of Laketon, Wabash county, a Contractor, passed through Rensselaer yesterday afternoon via auto, having driven through from Lafayete along the proposed line, and went from here to Mt. Ayr, Morocco and thence to Kajikakee, to show Mr. Sewell over the route thpy propose to run the road, Mr. Sewell, we understand, is to build a part of the road at least.

He says this has been tried and found to be an absolutely sure cure. It is doubtful, howeve; whether the publication of this item will have any appreciable effect in decreasing the demand for the oldfashioned snake-bite remedy in Jasper county. Those who have used the latter remedy for years, to inoculate their systems and make them proof against snake-bite, will not want to take any chances at this late date, and will probkbly prefer carrying around a bottle of the liquid on “their hip’ rather than be bothered with a lump of alum in their pocket. However, we publish the item for what it is worth.”

A Hymn of Peace.

I would rather he a Hoosier far removed from war's alarm, eating roasting ears and chicken from, an Indiana farm than to he a German warrior on a Belgian field of gore with a bullet in my gizzard and my plate held up for more. I would rather be a Hoosier, working at my prosy job than to he where Russian bullets with my innards might play hob. I would rather dig potatoes in my little tuber patch than to be a human target in a daily shooting match. I would rather read war extras seated in my humble cot than to have, my name and address In the lifet of brave men shot. For the warlords at a distance war is surely something great, as their armies mow down thousands in a fight o’er real estate. What though mothers, wives and orphans weep an ocean full of tears, what though fire, sword and famine with their ruin fill the years—be he czar or king or kaiser he dearl} 1 loves the tramp of his armies in commotion, as his phiz upon a stamp. They may sound in song and story praise of death in battle’s roar, but what is the use of glory when there’s crape upon your door? I would rather plant a rose bush than to kill my fellow man,even though the work’s conducted on a hpoad and wholesome plan, and I’m glad I’m not a subject of the powers at war today—it is good to be a Hoosier and to live so far away. And if any would involve us in this scrap for power and loot, let us curb his warlike nature with smack upon the snoot, says the Muncie Press.
