J. F. Irwin went to Chicago to day on a business trip. J. F. Bruner and Earl Sayler went to Wabash on a business trip, today. Mis 3 Juno Kannal went to Gocdland today, to spend a week with, friends. Philip Hanley, of Chicago, is visiting Mr. and Mrs, Grant Warner for a few days. >i • - Misses Maud Daugherty and Bsulah Yates went to Monticeilo, •this afternoon, to attend a house party for the rest of the week. Gollmar Brothers’ advertising car No. 1, is in town today. Another advertising car will come next week. Mrs. Leota Jones went to Michigan City ioday, for a week’s visit with friends before returning to her home at Chicago. Mifcs Etta Ott, of Chicago Heights, returned home today after a two weeks visit with her ancle Wm. Daniels and other relatives. ..• . „ ...-. . E. L,-Hollingsworth and daughter Dorothy went to Charlevoix, today where he will make a ten days stay, and Dorothy will remain for the remainder of the season with the rest of the family. Homer S. Hopkins, our former townsman, has just made another change in location, and which la>t move brings him back pretty close to his old home here. He has moved from Kempton to Monticeilo, where as before, he will still be in the milling business. E, B. Voudersmith, of Remington, the oldest and about the most enthusiastic civil war veterans in Jasper county, had one big toes amputated Sunday, on account ■of a bone disease. He stood it all right and is doing well. Mr. and Mrs. George S. Williamson, of Beaver City, Neb., were here to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. David Hilton, Monday afternoon, aud are remaining for a short visit with relatives. The city of Valparaiso has just been sued for $20,000 for personal damages, by Sylvester W. Chester, fie was thrown from a fire wagon in June 1905, owing to a defective -crossing, and' was hurt just about all over, and then some, and now thinks it will take just that much wealth to make hin whole agaiu. Perry G win, who went to Arizona about six weeks ago, for the benefit of his rheumatism, and went to work at Tombstone, has found he was not well enough to work and thhs gone to Indian Hot Springs, in •the mountains, and expects to stay (there and take the baths for about two months.

The Wallace show is to visit Knox this trip and the papers over there say it is the first time that town ever had a circus. If that is the •case what a rich, ripe harvest the short change and shell game and similar ornamental adjuncts of that great moral aggregation, will fiud •there. ~ The wrecked engiue up north o: Fair Oaks, having been previously lifted and straightened up, was got on thetracksagaiu about one o'clock this afternoon. It was the iuteu tiou to run it to the nearest side tracks, at Fair Oaks or Roselawn, and there give it sufficient .repairs to enable it to be taken to the shops at Lafayette. The 27th regiment now on a hike from Chicago to Indianapolis and due here about next Sunday, have seen service in the Philippines, and if our wild man still holds his position in the stock farm jungle by Do not think for a moment that the Wildberg stock is out of date, we can show you the latest up to .dats styles. L. Wildberg.

4iat time- it may be a good plan to put them ou h ; s track. They are used to kicking Philippine Ladrones oat of worse hiding places than that. Uncle David Hilton, whose home is broken up by the death of his wife, has not folly decided on his future plans. However he intends to divide his household effects between his two daughters, at Chicago and DeMotte, and will visit with {them for some time. Later he hopes to get transferred from the state soldiers home at Lafayette to the national home at Marion, in which case he will spend most of his time at the latter place. There is a streak of country up in Barkley, in the region of J. N. Baker’s place where all the rains have missed them, pretty nearly, and even on Sunday night they got hardly more than enough to lay the dust. On Mrs. Mary Nichols’ faim a sort of peat bed got on fire in April, from a brush fire, and there has not been rain enough since to put the fire out, aud it is still burning. All persons who hunt oat of the township they live in must have an annual license, and which costs one dollar. Applications for these licenses must be made on blanks of a*regular form which are furnished by Z. T. Sweeney, state game and fish commissioner, of Columbus, Ind. Asa matter of convenience to would-be applicants, Mr. Sweeney has sent a supply of these blanks to The Republican and anyone can procure one by calling at this office.

Today was western excursion day and the usual large number left here. C. J. Deau and his brother-in law, Wm Vedder, went to Mitchell and other points in South Dakota, and Miss Oka Pan coast went to Waverly in that state. Misses Bessie Burk, Clara Parker and Harriet Sayler went to Denver and other places in Colorado, and Zern Wright went to Gettysburg, S. Dak. He has gone ouly on a short pleasure trip. The intelligence came by telegraph, today, of the death at four o’clock this morning, at Brunswick, Ga., of Mrs. Amelia Brochardt, sister of Ralph aud Nathan Fendig, ot our city. Her death was evidently very sadden as the first notice that she was sick came in a telegram Monday, while a letter written only a day or two before contained no mention of her being in anything but good health. Her age was about 62 years. She never made her home here, though being an occasional visitor, the last time being three years ago.

The U. 8. regulars who are marching on Jasper county camped last night down near tne south end of Jackson Park, where the Chicago world's fair was. Tonight they will be at fi’th street, and their next jump will land them over into Indiana, where their first camp will be at Gibson, southeast of Hammond. Their band gives concerts every evening, and perhaps will favor Rensselaer people in that way, when they get here. They appear to get up and start on their marchs before daylight every morning, aud complete their day’s stunt by noon, aud thus have all the afternoon to rest.

“Comrade Fox, the mail-carrier'’ is no more, and now he is simply Charley Fox, the section man. Comrade’s fall from his high estate as an official of the United States government down to the position of a not less useful but still far less glorious station of a gravel picker and spike drivertbr a railroad company, has been gradual but,sure. It began when he lost the contract for carrying the mails from the depot to the post office, some months ago. and after all, when that was lost all was lost. For when he could uo longer make his spectacular hourly or bi hourly dashes through town behind his little flea-bitten roan broncho, it spelled “lehabod. the glory has departed” for Com rade. He still had the job of carry ing the daily mail to Aix. though there was no glory and but little lucre in that job, and now the last blow has fallen, and that.too, has been taken from him. The department has issued „ notice that after this week, there will be no V> ‘ ’ •'! . T y

trips Of a star route mail-earners so Aix. But instead, the rural route carrier of Route No. 2, from Rensselaer must carry the Aix maih. Comrade has already gone to work on the sectiou, and the roan broncho has gone to grass. Unlucky Comrade! Lucky Br ncho! Whatever may have become of the wild man, rumors about him are still circulating, and today one of these was that Alva Clark, of the Murray stores had seen him sitting on# log mendingJhis pants, when Mr. Clark was out speeding a horse

’onTtfie stock , fa-nuT Hack. The story however was all a joke. That he may extend the field of his wanderings up at d down the river for considerable distance, is quite likely, and Mr. Cline, who goes down "to Dr. Hartsell’s farm down the river to look after the doctor’s horses, reports seeiDg a man of the usual description along the river bank, down there, as well as seeing seemingly well worn paths where he had walked. There is also some supposition tuat he is the same man who was seen prowling aronnd some houses on Front street Sunday night, and about F. B. Hamm’s residence, on Rutsen street a few nights beiore.

WEDNESDAY.

Fred Miller is now making good progress towards recovering from his case of appendicitis. Mrs. Alfred Collins went to Indianadolis, this afternoon,* to visit her son who lives there. Another hot spell seems “headed this way, and opened the season today with a temperature of 85 degrees. The same baker, Richard Beck, who has been in the employ o? Wm Merica, for several years, will continue to do the baking for Nick Sell nutter.

Uncle Abe Leopold went to Mud lavia today, where he will take the baths aud drink the lithia water at Kramer’s place for a week or two. Mrs. C. H. Porter of Chicago, is visiuing her mother, Mrs. J. W. Williams, here this week, while Mr. Porter is over on the Tippe cauoe river fishing.

There will be trouble for the fish all along the Kankakee river, today. Bruce Porter and Baldy Powers have gone after them in one detachment and J. C. Gwin and L. H. Meyers in another.

Mrs. Wm. Bender, and children, of Magdalena, New Mex., are here for a protracted visit with her uncle J. F. Irwin, and aunt, Mrs. J. C. Porter. She has also visited her father, Robert Irwin, ot Carpenter Tp. Mr. Bender was heie also, but has returned to his home.

The nine year old son of Joe Long, the railway mail clerk, fell out of a hammock, Tuesday, and got a severe and painful injury of one of his legs. It is in the ankle aud just above, and while very severe and likely to lay tiie boy up quite a long time, the physician does not think any bones are broken, though he is not wholly sure there is not at least partial fracture in one place. v Mayor Ellis and Officer Vick went fishing this afternoon up be hind the stockfarm, but declared they had not lost any wild man, and were just going to fish tor fish. Still there is little doubt but that if their pockets had been examined closely they would have been found to contain something more dangerous than fishing tackle or even the liquid bait fishermen are so prone to carry.

That Jasper county had a dry June is a fact already well known, but how much dryer it was thau the state in general was not known “Until the appearauce of the state monthly report for that month, which is just out. From that it is seen that Rensselaer was lar the dryest place in the northern part of the .state, and that there were only f ur with less rain in the whole state. We had only about half as much rain as the statcaverage, and only a third of our normal amount for June. Every fat man in the country will rejoice when he hears the glad tidings of great joy embodied in a decision of Justice Severson, of Chicago, that for a fat man \to lose his balance and fall from a porch

to »he side walk does not constitute U- breach of piece. B. F. Fendig is circulating, a subscription paper, trying to raise .a fund to send .a yonng man to Colorado, as the only chance of saving his life. It is Roy Hickock, who lives wi h hisstep-father.WTn. Garland, abont two miles north of town. He is afflicted with tuberculosis. He is • anxious to make the trip, and it seems right to give him the opportunity, even if the chances of its benefiting him arennt very (Vrnrepwng. Rev M. H. McMahon, Methodist minister, was forcibly stood on his head yesterday at Elkhart to save him |from choking to death. A piece of food lodged in His- throat and heart action had almost stopped, pending arrival of physicians, when some one suggested this treatment and it proved to be eftective. Mr. MeManon weighs nearly 175 pounds, and the job was a severe task for the men executing it and they were about as a ar ‘‘all in” when the doctor got there as the preacher himself. Amos Alter, of near Parr, one of whose horses was killed by lightning last Friday and another injured, was in town today, and states that the injured horse is no good yet and may never be any betttr, though it has improved some from what she was at first. They were Mr. Alter’s best team, being a pair of fine mares, of five and six years old. His loss on them will be partly covered by insurance. The hired man bad been plowing corn hud was hurrying for the barn driving the team before him, when the stroke came.

The fame of our wild man of the tangle has spread so far, and grown so much in the spreading, that today there was a man here investigating to see if he might not be an insane man who escaped some time ago from some institution at Indianapolis. Judging by the description given the man here is not the one tha't is wanted there for this man is evidently a much larger man. The escaped man’s home is at Greenfield, Ind. The place secured for the Gollmar circus to exhibit when it comes here on the last day of this month, being the Misses Monnett land, just over the tence from the west end of Washington street, and little more than 500 feet west of the river bridge, is the best place in town for a circus, and better than any - ever before occupied, since big circuses have been coming here. Aud it will oe specially convenientjfor’the evening performance, was only owing to the fact that this show has a good reputation for morality that the owners of this location would consent to renting it to them. Dr. Arthur Kresler had a stump in his yard on south Cullen street which required a surgical operation for its removal, and he employed Dr. Charley Platt to administer the dynamite to lighten the pain, or perhaps the payin, and he used somewhat too large a dose. It got the stamp all right, but got it so violently that it neces: sitated another operation on the roof of the Dr’s, house, for half of the stump was blown so high in the air that whe i it came down, as it did eventually, it fell on the roof and smashed a big hole in it. Tbe operation took place Tuesday evening and when it was over tbe neighbors remarked “wouldn’t that jar you!”

According to a dispatch sent from here to the Indianapolis Star, W. A. Rinehart stated while he was here last week, that his fasher in law Alfred McCoy, was fast losing his mind, and his health with it, and not likely to “trouble” the people around here much longer. We have been unable to locate any person to whom Mr. Rinehart made any such remark this time. In any ease it does not seem probable that Uncle Mac is in any such for he was never in better posses-' siou of his faculties than when he testified at the trial in Moutieello, and was his own best witness. And those of our citizens w lft) saw him at the stock yards, just before he left for Queen City say he was evidently in full;health then and bright as ever mentally. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Terwilliger of a few miles south of

town, were called to Champaign, 111., last evening, -oa—amotb'er—of those sad errands which|have been so frequent with them during the past 15 nionths. This time it was the death of Mr. Terwilligers father which occured Tuesday. The particulars of his death w%]did not yet obtain. This is the first of Mr. Terwilliger’sown near relativtes to die recently, but in little more than a year Mrs. Terwilliger has been called to mourn the death of her father, brother, brother-in-law, sister-in law, two aunts, a niece and a cousi n. Besides which there were several deaths among near relatives of her near relatives.

Two companies of the army ot regulars now headed this way, on their hike to Indianapolis, are carrying a new form of pack, the invention of some crank or other and which is carried in a great bump on the back, and with two sticks which bear on the soldiers’ hips and just about drive the poor fellows crazy by the friction on their skins where the sticks rub. Already eight or ten soldiers have given out from carrying these mis erable packs, and two others have deserted rather than to carry them. The packs weigh 90 pounds, and the very idea of making soldiers walk 15 or 18 miles every day this hot weather carrying such burdens as this is simply barbarous. And this whole idea of compelling soldiers to carry great bundles on their backs on long marches, and •thus wear them out before they reach a place where-their energies are supposed to be needed against an enemy, is all wrong, and way behind the progress of civilization. It was all right when the lives of men were regarded as of less value Than those of horses or dogs, but it is all wrong now. Compare an army weighted down like this regiment is and a Japanese army. Suppose they were both moving on a strategic point, 500 miles away for the Japs and 400 for the Americans. The chances are the Japs would be there a day ahead of our men and would arrive there in fair numbers and in the best of fighting condition, while a large proportion of our men would be worn out with their big packs, and not arrive at all, and those that were there would be all tired out before the fight began. Mules, motors and hired packers should pack The heavy loads and not the men who do the fighting.

THURSDAY.

Last Saturday wits the time for opening bids for the proposed new brick two story school house at Wheatfield, to be built jointly by Wheatfield town and Wheatfield township. The lowest bid was by E. G. Warren, of Rensselaer being $9,104. Other bids ranged from $10,980 to $12,657. The contract has not yet been formally awarded but probably will be soon to Mr. Warren.

Alt Padgett has been at the state fair grounds at Indianapolis for several weeks training a dozen horses, and of which about half will constitute his racing string this season, and yfhich he will begin at Kalamazoo, Mich., next week. His string will consist of Dan P., Kindest Kind. Fair Oaks, Holigan, Bourbon J, and one or two others. Good horsemen say he has the best string this season the Rensselaer horsi interests ever sent out.

It is quite a safe prophecy that when the shows come this year that all who love a first class modern up to date circus, all to whom the aroma of the sawdust oreua is pleasant, all who enjoy the glory, glitter aud gorgeousness of the street parade .with its fanfaronade of triumpets, its blast of bands, and its loud voiced ealiope will turn out en masse. Among the new features the GoUmars have this season is the big hippodrome races, chariot, Roman aud Jockey, a clientele of 30 clowns, and the first engagement in this country of the Flying Nelsons, direct from the Circque de Petersburg, Russia, the most daring family of aerial performers in the world, presenting an act where father, brother, mother and baby girl juggle the (lice with { death and with smiling faces dance a roundelay with destiny. In the I menagerie the only baby elephant ever born in America to live, the | largest hippotamus on exhibition, aDd nearly 50 dens of rare specimens of jungle animals make a school for natural history worthy the patronage of everybody.
