MRS. GEORGE SHARP ~- ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

(Concluded from Ist page.)

Sharp said last night he would be able to locate the woman’s husband and would get word to him of the accident as quickly as possible. Mr. and Mrs. Sharp were married about ten years ago at Peru, and made their home here for some time. They have resided in Indianapolis tdr about three or four years. Mr. and MFs. Chas. Rishling went to Indfl&apolis Sunday afternoon to spend this week visiting Mrs. Sharp and attend the fair. Mrs. Sharp was to meet them at the train and the accident occurred as all were making a" street’'car transfer. - • Ndthfcg is kiiowh here about the funeral plank.

Balloonist Otto a Fakir.

Another failing attempt at a balloon ascension was made Thursday afternoon, and again the aeronaut’s weight was too grtiat for the pear shaped hot. air bag and it came down shortly after Otto was above the tree tops. Alter he came down he cut loose from the balloon and It went up about 500 feet and soared off to the northeast a distance of about 1 half mills. The failure of the baloon ascensions is evidently largely the fault of the balloon itself, for it is not thought to be either large enough or of sufficient diaiheter, add it is also probable that tile cloth used in its manufacture was not of the right texture, ns- it is said the manufacturer of the balloon is just embarking in that business. But the fault was not altogether with the baloon, as Otto, the little fellow, seemed to be a great bluff. He blowed and blustered around and told about how much he knew and he would not give Pete, his Dutch partner, a chantie to do anything except under his direction, and it is thought that they never had the balloon properly inflated, because Otto was afraid to go up any considerable Height. - , A representative of the amusement company in Chicago that had booked all of the attractions for the home coming, accepted a reduction of $75 for the failure of the balloon men to make good and he then settled with Otto for the balloon work. Otto told Pete that he would settle with him on Saturday morning and that they would leave on the j):55 train, but when Pete got up in the morning he found that Otto and his wife had pulled out on the 4:30 train with the balloon. He found a note on his table from Otto, and wrapped up in it was a two dollar bill. He told Pete that that was enough to take him to Chicago or if he preferred he could stay in Rensselaer. Mr. Greenbaum, the agent for the company that booked the attracitons, was still here, and settled Pete’s hotel bill and took him to Chicago on the milk train. He was swearing vengeance on Otto and said he knew what his Sunday ascension date was and he proposed to go there and attach the balloon. Pete is a German and has Teen in this country only about four months, and seemed anxious all the time to do , the right thing, but Otto and his wife were evidently very trashy people. Otto is only 29 years old and his wife is 67.

Republican Speaking Sept. 14.

Senator Curtis, of Kansas, will be here to address the voters of Rensselaer and surrounding country from the republican standpoint on Monday evening, Sept 14th. It is hoped that the voters will let no opportunity pass to hear the political affairs of the country and thus keep themselves posted, and it is believed that Benator Curtis will deliver an able address. Everyone will be welcome. A more complete announcement will be made later. Charles S. Heinley, former republican state chairman, who has bad charge of the arrangements for the George Ade farmers’ rally at th<* Ade farm, near Brook, on September 30, has returned from Cincinnati enthusiastic over the prospects ut getting Mr. Taft to attend and ,hold a reception. “W» have good reason to believe,” he said, “that Mr. Taft will consent to attend, although he had decided to remain in Cincinnati throughout the campaign.” I

HOME-COMING WAS A HUGE SUCCESS

Almost Had a Shooting.

A shooting affray was narrowly averted Friday evening shortly before 6 o’clock. The participants to the affair were Ed Ames and John A. Williams. Both are farmers Jiving southwest of town, and it is said they have been on the outs for some time, some difficulty about threshing having kept each angry at the other. Both were in town Friday and Ames alleges that Williams was following him around and that he had called him bad names. Just as Ames was near the Alfred Thompson ' property he pulled a revolver from his pocket and demanded that Williams follow him no farther. There were about 50 people in range of the revolver and they scattered at a lively rate. Harry Kipllnger and others succeeded in getting Ames to put up the gun and Williams went away. Amec was afterwards lodged tn jail, but no charge was filed against him, and he was later released. Luella, the five year old daughter of J. M. Penrod, living near Hartford City, was severely stung by bumblebees while playing in her father’s orchard. Mr. Penrod was severely hart in rescuing her, but the child was stung more than fifty times. She is in a serious condition.

Additional Monday Locals.

Michael Phalen came down from Roselawn this morning and again took up his quarters at the Makeever house. He says that he has about decided that there is no better place than Rensselaer. c Mrs. Geo. fit. Landis and Mrs. Harry Boothroyd, of Monticello, returned home Saturday, after a short visit here with the former’s daughters, Mrs. Mel Abbott and Mrs. Floyd Robinson. Miss Alice Drake, who has been spending the summer at her mother’s home near Rensselaer, went to Chicago this morning. She Will teach at Maywood, a Chicago suburb, this year, her school beginning tomorrow. Stewart Hammond, the aged father of Joseph Hammond, visited the latter several days last week. Mr. Hammond enjoys the distinction of being the second oldest continuous resident of Jasper county, Uncle Davy Jones being the only living resident whose coming to this county antedates his. —Remington Press.

Parmer D. Wells, who . was admitted to the Jasper county bar some time ago, is now employed in the law office of W. H. Parkinson. Both of these men are very much Inclined to inventive mechanics, Will having the new automobile friction- gear and Parmer having the adjustor fen* the cultivator fenddr, and it is probable that between law suits they will invent other things. They will have the advantage of being their own patent attorneys. Prof. Samuel E. Sparling, who severed his connection with Wisconsin University at the close of the last college year, was very pleasantly surprised one day last week when he received a visit from Profs. Richard T. Ely and Henry C. Taylor, of th?£ university. They were on their way ,to the blue grass regions of Kentucky, traveling in an automobile, and they came somewhat out of their way to see their former fellow member of the faculty of that college. Ely is director of the school of economics, history, political science and sociology, and is the author of twenty-five or more books on economics and other subjects and his works are laigely used as text and reference .books in the largest colleges in the country. Prof. Taylor is at the head of the department of agricultural economics and the commercial department of that university. Their trip is for the purpose of research and study.

Andrew Hawn, who returned from Wyoming Tuesday, after a visit with Dr. and Mrs. Traugh, reports conditions to be flourishing with them. The Dr. has 2,000 sheep and expects to market 800 lambs soon The report early in the spring that the river near there was going dry and that the crops were not going to turn out good was a false one. Andy brought home some samples of wheat and a large sugar beet from' Clymers farm and they are on exhibition at the National Bank. Andy says that Dr. and his good wife are getting younger each day and the Dr.‘ is mhaving the time of his life hunting, fishing and herding his large flock of sheep. The Herald expects a letter from Dr. in which he will tell up how much better western life is than a bare existence here. Dr.‘ and Andy went fishing and made quite a large catch, at least Andy is telling some awful fish stories. Roy Shepard, who went to Wyoming about three weeks ago, and Joe Crowden,. who went out there with the Traughs two years ago, will start home about October Ist on horseback. They expect to reach Goodland about December Ist if they have no bad luck. —Goodland Herald.
