Mrs. Wm Eldredge, about 6 or 7 miles southeast of town, has a severe case of facial erysipelas. —Cr-E.- Mil's is so nearly recovered from his four weeks’ sickness ssto beaole to walk down town today. Miss Margaret Hay of Monon Monon returned home today after a few davs visit with her sister Mrs. C. R. Smith. Miss Mabel Strickfaden returned home last evening, after a week’s visit with friends in Lafcyet eMrs. J. J. Montgomery returned kome yesterday after a s-ver al weeks’ visit with her parents at Rockford, 111. Mr, and Mrs. Louie Leopold; of Wolcott returned home yesterday after a short visit wi'h his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Leopold, Mr and Mrs. G E. Murray went to Indianapolis this morning oil the early train Mr Murray is a delegate to the state convention. Ten acres o f walnut trees have just teen planted on the Indiana forest reservation by Secretary Freeman of the state board of forestry, which are expected to deveh pe into valuable property. The city election commissioners, tons sting of Oily Clark Morian, as a member by right of office, and J. C. Porter sppointed for the Republicans and E. P. Honan, appointed for the Democrats met Monday and certified the official for the ensuing city election. Mrs. McDaniels, who occupies a part of J R Vanatta’s house, has been quite sick but is recovering Mrs. McDaniels was a «very large depositor in the McCoy bank, having $6,000 there, or about half of all her property, and the worry‘over the failure has contributed largely to her sickness R. W. Marshall visited his son Albeit, at Highland" Park, 111,, Sunday and Monday, and Mrs. Marshall went up today to stay with him for some days. Bert’s •ase of typhoid fever has been rather severe, but he is doing well and a recovery in good time is conIdently expected.

Mesdames Ray Wood. John Duvall, Isaac Glazebrook, and Messrs. A J. Bren ..er, J. H- S. Ellis and Joe Jackson, all went to Indianapolis this afternoon. The ladies to attend the state meeting •f the Eastern Star, and the men io go to the Republican state convention. F. B. Meyer and Jim Nelson drove over to Remington Monday, to visit Charley Price, who moved into Remington shor'ly after his return fiom Missouri, early last winter. They found him ns cheerful, loquacious and jocular hs ever, and not notio ably losing ground very fast in his contest with his sickness. During the big two days rain which ended thia forenoon, there was a total rainfall of 2.15 inches. It has soaktd and in many oases loodtd the fields, and may damage the sown cats, largely. It is *e general opinion of the farmers bowever, that unless continued enid weather follows, the damage

will nut be great, except in places where the water stands for some time. That enthusiastic and strenuous politician Harry Strohm, editor of the Kentland post-office and the Newton county Enterprise, bus had the high honor to be selected as permanent secretary for the Republican state convention which began its two days’ session at Indianapolis this afternoon. Harry is a hustler, and with no end to bis ambition, and is likely to be beard from many times hereafter when eotuetbing is doing in politics. And he has a great knack for getting what he goes after. The Panama canal property, with the canal partly completed, and with the ten mile strip of territory to go with it, is now fully and completely turned over to the United States, and belongs to We. Us & Co., and nobody can gainsay outfights. The property has been fairly knd honorably bargained for and bought and will be paid for in good Oasn just as soon as’the money can be turned over, Uncle Sam having it all ready in bis big till. And at last, after Jail these centuries of trying for it, tbe oanal is no# & SUfe thing and what is better, it will be made and oontrolled by the nation which has the moat interest in it.

Harry Crawford, the notorious and only Harry, builder and breaker of railroads, and forever and eternal dodger of debts, has again achieved distinction, through this this last named incurable proclivity. It seems that When he sold the Chicago and Southeastern road to the Big Four, he assumed all debts for damages then standing against the company. Assumed them, but of course did not pay them; and now, at the instance of a law firm in Indianapolis, the superior court there ordered Crawford to produce the contract with the Big Four, No contract having been produced, after repeated waitings, the judge has fined Crawford SIOO and sentenced him to 10 dajs in jul for contempt of court. But the next thing is to ! catch the elusive Harry, who is supposed to be some place in the east.

WEDNESDAY U. M. Baughman went to Monticello today on legal business. JU Miss Anna Young went to Chicago today for an extended stay. J. L. McClellen returned to Crawfordsville today after a several weeks visit with his daughter Mrs. W. A Huff. Ulm is recovering from his sickness, without having developed anything as serious as was feared last week.

Mr. and Mrs. Charley Ball went to Francesville today for a short visit, previous to going to their future home at Wabash. Mrs. A B. Rowley and daughter Fay, went to Cedar Rapids, lowa, today for an extended visit before going to their future home at Wabash.

* Will business and politics mix?” anxiously inquires a contemporary. It will De a sad day for the American republic when politics is left to those who have no business except politicsThe marriage of Mr, John Fox, of Lafayette, and Miss Mary Weathers, of Rensselaer will take place this evening, at the bride’s borne on Weston street. Miss Weather’s place in the post-office has been taken by Miss Katie Shit Ids.

Chase Day made a bold push for the northwest, about a week ago, expecting to hit the far state of Washington, before he stayed bis pace. WhenJJhe got as far es Minneapolis, however, the weather was so cold there taat Nig thought he was approaching the region of eternal winter, and he took the bgok track in a hurry arriving home last night. *His dadcy (will see that he don’t suffer from cold here if plenty of good hard work will keep him warm-

Our former well known young townsman, R. A. Hopkins, better known as Bob when he lived here, has made another big move out west.

Now, on account of his wife health be is moving to Santa Cruz, California. He promises to tell tbe The Republican readers what he thinks of that region after a while. Including the rain which fell Sunday evening, the entire rainfall during the big storm was 2| inches making it the greatest rainfall of any single storm since tbe 3rd Week in January, when a three days’ rain brought nearly 2| inches. The rain boosted the river and other streams very much, and Comrade Fox the mail carrier reports that the water came higher into the box of his buggy at Burk’s bridge than at any other time be has crossed it this year. In town the river raised a good deal, but was fully two feet below high water mark.

Frank Neeius, a etone mason, who has been living in the Mrs. E. P. Hammond property at the oorner of Washington and Division streets for some weeks past, moved back today, on a small tract on bis father, Joseph Nesius’s place, in Jordan tp.

The subject of the Sunday evening sermon at the Christian church next Sunday will be “The Ideal Young Man 1 ” The sermon will be based upon the opinions of, the ycung ladies of Rensselaer. Don’t forget the city election next Tuesday, and especially dont if yoa are a Republican. The Democratic brethren are not prone to forget at election times. Mrs E. L. Harlow of north of Mt. Ayr, whose case of bloodpoisoning from a splinter in her finger, was mentioned, died Wednesday, despite all that medical skill could do to save her.

Dr. and Mrs. Turfler missed the train which they were expecting to take for Rensselaer Sunday and remained here till Monday the guests of Attorney Uhl. They had been visiting Mrs. Turfler’s father at Idaville and were late getting back. —Monticello Herald. W. H. Eger his figured on building about two or three nice tenant houses on his big vacant half block, east ot his residence this year. But William being "balled up” iu the bank failure to the extent of about $6,000 he has concluded to still leave the lot vacant for medicine shows aud merry-go rounds. A Yale professor thinks the masses of the people eat too much, and a good many other persons think the same way about it. It is possible that this does occur now and then under a Republican administration, but everybody can remember back in 1893 and from then to 1897, when the great majority were not thus afflicted. Aud that is one of the things that made it impossible to elect Bryan or any other Democrat to the presidency.

Two child’s rings, a band ring and a set ring, were left by Charley Morlan’s little girl, on the wash stand in the ladies toilet room at the court house. The finder is requested to return them io Mr. Morlan.

Hyomei Works Wonders for Catarrh Victims. Regular Use of It Cures Most Stubborn CaseRemarkable Remedy Restores Health To Thousands, You Run No Risk iu Buying Byome —Well-Known Dealer Sells It On Approval. No other medicine or treatment for catarrh has ever achieved such quick and remarkabe success in Rensselaer as Hyomei. Tbe fact that B. F. Fendig wh n he fir t introduced Hyomei sold it under a a positive guarantee to refund the money in case it did not ouje concontributed largely to its successful iotroduction. A guarantee from a firm like B. F. Fendig gave’peep'e confidence at the start-

Tbose who obtained a Hyomei outfit found that the treatment did all that was claimed for it; that the first few breaths of Hyomei cleared the air passages and gave an exhilarating and invigorating effect. Its continued use freed the system from all catarrhal germs, soothed and healed the mucous membrane, and made a complete and lasting cure.

Compared with the dangerous stomach drugging that tad been used heretofore in the treatment of catarrh, the balsamic air of Hyomei created a most favorable impression. And the medic'ne itself did even more than was claimed for it. Io fact, to make a success, it was necessary that Hyomei should cure nearly every case of catarrh in which it was used, for every outfit was sold on a guarantee to refund the money in case it failed. If it had not possessed unusual merit, an offer like this .would have resulted in an enormous loss. But curing as it did, Hyomei soon gained an enviable reputation and made many friends who recommend it far and near, Its success here in Rens* selaer has been remarkabe, and Mr, Fendig is still selling it on his personal guarantee to refund the money in case it does not give satisfaction.
