Death of Another Prominent Citizen.

Last Sunday Rensselaer lost another of her prominent business men in the death of Benjamin Tuteur, of the well known firm of Tuteur Brotherst During the many years he has been a resident of Rensselaer he has seemed the picture of robust health and strength. Those who have known him best, however, have known that for quite a number of months, he had not been in his usual excellent health. On- Thursday May 11th, he returned from a business trip to Chicago, and saying he was sick, he took to his bed. His sickness was painful but not thought dangerous, and so far as outward symptoms indicated, was thought to be a simple case of pleurisy. Mr.

Tuteur himself, from the first, felt that he was a stricken man, and insisted that he would never recover. Early last week, his brother-in-law, Dr. Weil, of Chicago, was called to see him, and he confirmed the diagnosis of the Drs. Loughridge, his local physicians. After that he seemed to improve considerably, but again grew worse, and last Sunday afternoon an operation was performed, to remove supposed water from the lungs. The operation revealed the fact that the right lung was adhered to the walls of the chest, and was nearly filled up. At about 7 o’clock, Sunday evening, he expired. An autopsy showed that the principal seat of his disease was his liver, which was enlarged to several times its natural size; his spleen also was greatly enlarged. Benjamin Tuteur was born in

Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. Bth, 1853, and his age was therefore 41 years, 4 months and 19 days. He was the son of Leopold and Lena Tuteur. His father died in 1880, but his mother still lives. He leaves a widow, and three young children, aged 10, 8 and 6 years respectively. Also two brothers, Moses and Isaac Tuteur and three sisters, Mrs. Bertha Wildberg, of Everett Michigan, Mrs. Sarah Weil, of Chicago, and Miss Eliza Tuteur, of Rensselaer. His wife’s name was Miss Lena Diriwachter, of Peoria, 111. He was married, Oct. 18, 1882. The funeral was held at the residence, Tuesday afternoon. The religious services were conducted by Rev. J. Cadden, of Lafayette, assisted by Rev. R. D. Utter, of Rensselaer. Interment was made in Weston cemetery. The ceremonies at the grave were conducted by Rensselaer Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of which the deceased was a charter member. The members of the lodge attended in large numbers, besides which Rem, ington lodge was represented by 12 members, and Wheatfied and Francesville lodges by lesser numbers. The pall bearers were Messrs. T. J. McCoy, W. B. Austin, Robt. Randle, C.G. Spitler, W. A. Huff, F. B. Meyer.

Many friends from abroad attendthe funeral. lucluding all the above named relatives, also Mrs. Tuteur’s mother and sister, from Peori; Mrs. Dreyfus, Fred Dreyfus and Abe Bass of Lafayette, and Eli Heidelberger, of Chicago.

Editor Kitt is in deep luck. He accidentally called an esteemed contemporary “Squirt of the Ramtown Press,” which so deeply offended the scribe that he proposes a suit for slander and calculates that his character has been damaged a $1,000,000,000 worth. —Fowler Leader.

The historical play, “Major Andre” by the members of the Columbian Literary Society, and I the Seifert Light guards, of St. Joseph’s College, at the Opera House, last Wednesday evening, had a very fair audience, considering the times, and the nearness of the Rensselaer high school commencement, it being only one night previous. The times, customs and costumes of Revolutionary days were faithfully represented, and the play was very well performed.

An exchange says that a man who thinks he could be a journalist stands around and tells how he would be as independent as a hog on ice, and call Chings by their right name; how he would expose corruption in high places; how he would write good common sense and none of your frivolous, try-to-be-funny stuff The best way to cut off these chaps is to get him to write a sensible article every day for a week. Before the week is out he is sure to be pumped dry, and will gape worse for an idea than a chicken with a pip. If he should have the ability and nerve to carry out his threats he would be found hanging to a lamp post before three cold mornings rolled around.

There has been a hitch in the sale of the gravel road bonds. Lamprecht Bros., the purchasers, have, through the advice of their attorney, decided that the law authorized the issue of bonds only to the exact amount of the contract price of the roads. This was $34,605.72. The amount the Commissioners issued was an even $36,000. This sum having a margin of about $1,400, to cover unforseen expenses, and the interest on the bonds from now until Nov. 15th, when they first begin to draw interest. The Commissioners will meet today and make a new issue of bonds, of just the amount of the contract price of the road. Where the extra amount required for interest and incidental expenses will come from is not quite clear, but no doubt the county will have ,to fall for it. This particular gravel road law is, as Judge Wiley said about another well known law lately, “fearfully and wonderfully made.”
