CITY AND VICINITY

FRIDAY Unole Tom Murphy, near Surrey is quite seriously siek with a heart and lung trouble. Abe Simpson is just getting around again after soar weeks eeige with inflamatory rheumatism, Harrison Wasson, who worked the former Peter Wasson place sontheast of town last year, has rented and moved upon Mrs. Rebecca Porter’s, farm northwest of town. Dr. F. D. Wilson, of Thayer, whose sudden death is elsewhere mentioned, was in town here, the latter part of last week, seemingly as brisk and well as ever. We learn however that he has been quite poorly for about two months. Roe Yeoman of Purdue Univeraity is making good progress towards reoovery from pneumonia, and it is thought now will be well enough to be brougnt home next Tuesday. His mother Mrs. A. K. Yeoman is still with him. R. W. Burris, who for a number ber of years past has been a foreman on the Gifford farms, near Pleasant Grove, has rented and moved upon the G, W. Miohaels farm of about 300 acres, the former Fatka place, southeast of town Sherman Renioker left today for his home in jTaylor county. Wisconsin. His family will visit here a few days longer, before going back. His parents Mr. and Mrs. Levi Renicker, of Carroll, whose severe sickness brought him here, are now improved very nioely, and with every prospect of early reoovery.

Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Sayler, of Newton township, are rejoicing over the recent arrival of their sixth child and aiso sixth son, and every last one of them stannoh Republicans. With a few more fami lies like them, the nual finish of Demcoratic hopes in Newton township would be plainly in sight Carry the news to Teddy. Geo. W. Smith was in town Thursday and dosed up the sale of his 320 acre farm, half in Gillam and half in Hanging Grove, to A. H. Brubaker and Joseph Molitor, of Benson, Illinois. The latter will work both quarter sections, and has already arrived and taken possession. Mr. Smith will move baok to the vicinity of Joliet, 111., where he formerly resided. Ed Bruce, who has got moved on to the John Murray farm, south of town, he bought some time ago, has nearly circumnavigated Rensselaer since he first began selling and buying farms, a number of years ago; and now he is back right on the next farm to the one he started from. He is said to be enough ahead in his numerous farm deals to cover the value of a pretty fair sized farm.

Joe Eight at Thayer was wait ing yesterday afternoon for Dr. Wilson to come and dre6s his broken legs, and to ree if be oould be put on orutobes. when instead of the doctor oame the news of his death. Dr. Eoglish went up trom here today to look after Mr. Eight, He ia able to navigate a wheel chair and looking and feeling qnite well. One of the legs is still in the planter, however. It is 17 wroks now since Mr. Eight met -"ifith his terrible aooident.

Choice of 50, 75*11.00 goods for 250. • I. J. Porter.

SATURDAY Mrs. Walter Imes of Huntington, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Imes for some time The annual epidemic of marbles is now in full swing here, and which will put a clincher on spring, if anything wid. The reports Earl Sayler receives as to the condition of his father, Isaac D. Sayler, now at Cullom, 111., are very discouraging and seem to hold out no prospect for any change for the better. Beech Peterson a painter and paper hanger of many years’ residence, left on the early train thi morning, and is understood to have gone to Kansas City, and will probably locate there. L. B Josserand, formerly of Hanging Grove now a citizen of Manon, was in town today. He has owned and operated a grain elevator there all winter but has just traded it for a farm in Illinsis, but still owns a meat market in Monon. The United States supreme court has rendered an important decision on the railway free pass system, to the efFect that a passenger riding on such a ticket cannot damages for injuries in an accident to the train upon which he is ingRobert Medworth has moved from the neighborhood of Rose Lawn on to the T. W Grant farm, a few miles west of town. It was his youngest son Charley Med. worth, who was so wickedly and watonly murdered, near Mt. Ayr, one day last summer.

Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Warner and the latter’s sister, Mrs. Emma Rouse, all of Chili-othe, Ohio, are visiting tkeir cousin Mrs. M. H. Hemphill, for a short time. They have been out in Colorado all winter, for the benefit of their health, and stopped off here on their way home. Owing to Rev. H. L. Kindig being sick, the Methodist and Presbyteriancongregations will worship together, tomorrow, under the ministrations ot Rev A. G. Work The morning service will be held in the Methodist church and the evening service in the Presbyterian. Peop'e crossing the Kankakee marsh, this week, report seeing large flocks of ducks and think the early flight has reached here in full force. The first to come are mallards and pin tails, the bluebills bringinS up the rear. It is thought that the heavy ioe north will hold them in this vicinity for some time. —Crown Point Star.

A terrible aooident ocoured Friday night'at Kouts, a town in the south end of Porter county, and just over the line from Jasper county. Two brothers, Henry and George Brooke, were into Kouts to attend church, and were struck by a train on the the Erie Road, at the Behren’s crossing Both died in a few minutes. George was 26 and Henry 22 years old. They worked as hired men on a farm near Tassinong. Miss Bertha Boyer, one of the second year teachers in the city schools tendered her resignation last niglit, on account of poor health, and will return to her home at Terre Haute The School Board was fortunately able to secure a successor for her in Miss Lillian Howarth, who

taught here two years ago, and is very successful in the work. She will arrive in time to open the room Monday, as usual. Mr. and Mte. D. B. Nowels left for Lamar, Colo., this forenoon. They went somewhat sooner than expected cn acoount of the sickness of her father, Geo. W, Burk, our former townsman. Some reports are tii at he has had some light strokes of paralysis, but Mr. Nowels tbinks he has a reourrenoe of a trouble be had last year, caused by gatherings in his head, and therefore hopes it is nothing very serious. I. L. Jones and family left today for their new home at Michigan City, where Mr. Jones has a krood position as book-keeper for the Mt. Airy Stone Company, of that place. Mr. Jones recently sold his farm northwest of town, and since then his family has been staying with Mrs. Jones’ parents in town, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Amsler. Mr. Jones had a number of years experience as book-keeper for a stone company at Pontiac, 111, before coming here about three years ago,

It is entirely probable that two more rural routes will be establish ed out of Remington about the time Rensselaer Route No. 4 gets in action. Inspector Dice went over the two new proposed routes there Tuesday and Wednesday, and it is understood will repoit them both favorably. One of these routes runs north and west from Remington and the other north and east. It is easy to get routes established now in districts that are at all suitable and quite a number of our smaller towns could easily be made the starting points of routes.

MONDAY Miss Mary Norris went to StLouis today for an e xtended stay with her sister. . Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Hopkins of Custor, Ohio., returned home yesterday after a weeks visit with relatives here. Miss Rosa Towers, of Chioago, and Mrs. Will Thornton, of Danville, are here visiting their mother Mrs. Nanoy Towers, who is in poor health, and is preparing to move Danville to live with Mrs. Thornton. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Thompson and children returned to Sullivan,

proverbs “ When the butter won' ome put a penny in th burn,” is an old time daii n’overb, It often seems t .York though no one has eve. told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott’s Emulsion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott o Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children because it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott’s Emulsion is the most satisfactory treatment. I We will send you the penny, e., a Be sure that thin rdeturt in the form 6T a lab.t i* on the wrapper of every bottle ot Emulsion yru buy SCOTT & DOWNE, 400 Pearl St.,V Y. 50c. and $1 00 ; all drugglcU.

Ind., today after a several days’ visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Hopkins. The funeral of Dr. F. D. Wilson of Thayer, was held at Rose Lawn M. E. ohurch, Sunday, and his interment made in Rpse Lawn cemetery. Quite a party of friends and relatives enjoyed a fine dinner at Wm, Dixey’s Sunday, in honor of Mrs Dixey’s 55th birthday. Their nephew and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Thornton, of Danville, 111., were the out-of-town guests. Prof. Arnold, of Elkhart, a dadoing master of large reputation and loDg experience, opened a course of instruction in that art Saturday in the armor) • Classes were held at 4p. m. and 7:30 p. m. The younger pupils being taken iu the afternoon. Both classes were largely attended, there being 26 pupils in the afternoon, and over 90 in the evening. Spectators were nnmerons at both classes, but hereafter none will be allowed at

the evening class, and only parents of the pupils at the afternoon olasß Prof. Arnold has classes in several other towns, and is here only on one day each week. At the dancing school at the armory last Saturday Methodists bumped again Presbyterians, and both were jostled by Christians and Baptists. Which facts are mentioned neither for purposes of criticism nor commendation, either of which would be aside from eur proper province, but merely as an interesting faot, as illustrating the great change that is taking place among the heretofore stricter religions denominations in the way of greater tolerance towards well conducted and, in themselves, innocent amusements, and especially towards dancing. It is a great change from even 25 or 30 years ago. Tempore mutantur. Times change and we change with them Editorosky Bowieovitoh, of the Reviewsky, was in town this morning and intimated that there had just been another pitohed battle on the Indiana Yalu, but that the rigid press oensorship forbade him giving any details. We suspeot that Brotherohin Bowieovitoh was talking through his hatsky.

Bad Roads are Coming Soon.

There is no doubt quite a long spell of very bad roads approach ing; there being so much frost in the ground that when it oomes out it will make the gravel roads bad and the mud roads. simply fright ful. People who have any hauling to do shonld do it at once aud, then keep off the roads as much as possible. They shonld do this not only for their own good but for the public good, also. EspeoiaU}|*boulii hauling heavy loads on the gravel pikes be avoided until after the frost is all oat. In faot those who are not oareful in this respeot are likely to get into expensive trouble for striot orders are out to puuisb all persons who violate the laws against heavy loads on gravel roads while the frost is ooming out.

A Mighty Load of Potatoes.

Miohael Jungles, of three miles south of Kniman, the great potato raiser of northern Jasper, concluded he wonld get the balance of his crop to market Saturday, before the bottoms of the roads fell out Therefore he put three stories and an attio on his wagon box, and loaded in till he couldn’t load no more. He_ hauled them to town with a four horse team and sold them to one of the grooery stores. The load measured out 98 bushels and 20 pounds. It without doubt was the largest laad of potatoes ever brought to Rensselaer. The load brought good money, namely 90 oents per bushel.

A Promising Innovation,

A Course of Law Lectures in the High School. The School Board and Superintendent Sanders have under advisement a proposition of the greatest importance to our community, namely the introduction into the High School curriculum of a course of practical lectures on Indiana"commercial law, to be delivered to the graduating class each year. {This certainly seems to be an effort in the right direc tion and we understand that the plan has the unqualified endorsement of all our business men and members of the local bar who have expressed themselves upon the subject. The High Schools are supposed to fit young people for life in ease they pursue their studies no further and since nothing is of greater im portance to business men or women than a working knowledge of the law that governs their every tran* action. Many gain this knowledge so neror later but only through experience and very often at a personal loss that judicious schooling might easily have prevented The present plan embraces the delivery of a series of specially prepared lectures and quizzes on purely business law as regulated by the Statute* of Indiana only, the assumption being that our graduates will enter business in our own State, witn the natural inference that ff the y do business in other states or foreign countries they will be sufficiently advised to inform themselves as to the law of the place before co mnitting them selves and incurring iisk. In other words, it is intended not to attempt to make full-fledged lawyers but to impress upon young persons a due knowledge and respect for the law together with the vital faot that “Ignorance of the law excuses no one,” The principal drawback at pre sent is a lack of funds at the disposal of the School Board but we also understand that this obstacle has been promptly met by a pub lie spirited offer on the part of several of our best lawyers and speakers to undertake the lectures for next year without pay, in evi dence of their hearty approval of the idea.
