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. Mr. Brown was up to Chicago a few days ago and made arrangements with an engineering firm to survey the line and this work will probably be started next week. • 1 v i Dr. Charles Vick tells us that a small piece of alum, the size of a hickory nut, if put in the , mouth, chewed up and swallowed, after one has been bitten by a venomous reptile, there is no danger whatever of poison. 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.”
