Didn’t Locate the Forgers.

J. A. McFarland, the grocer, went to Lafayette Tuesday evening to see a couple of young fellows under arrest there for several forgeries, and to see if they were the same fellows who successfully worked several forgeries here on Oct. sth. He decided that they were not the men. The forgeries ■ committed here were kept in the dark with the hope that the culprits might be caught. It seems that five firms were caught here for sums ranging from $9.25 to $9.75, those holding the sack being John Eger, The Home Grocery, E. S. Rhoads, J. A. McFarland and Roth Bros., all being grocerymen but the last named. In each case the checks we made payable to Ed Miller and bore the name of Geo. W. Andrus. The checks were cashed after small purchases had been made and the forgery was not detected until Mr. Andrus received the checks, the forgeries being clever enough to pass the banker. The endorsement on the backs of the checks were not all in the same hand writing, so evidently there were two parties performed the cashing of the checks. In all they procured almost SSO, and it is probable that they will never be apprehended.

The men under arrest at Lafayette had worked several towns near that cfty, some of the forged checks being for sums as high as S6O. Persons cashing checks should make sure that there is no doubt about the identity of the person holding the check or of the signature on the check. Every man with a check is deserving a bit of skepticism, unless known and if he objects to the merchant verifying it, that is sufficient proof of his guilt. Forgery is one of the easiest crimes committed and therefore every person should guard against being a victim of It

Farmers’ Institute.

Get Ready Quick, and Come to Rock Lake, North Dakota

Harvest Scene, Rock Lake, North Dakota.

Office of The Red White and Blue Art Gallery, Rock Lake, North Dakota. Editor of The Republican. Dear Sir: Some time ago I wrote you a letter (which you published) intended as an appeal to those who were wishing to look up a location for a new home. I again make the appeal, and invite those to come where land is yet in reach of the small investor, and which can be bought on terms favorable to those who have but limited means, and also for those who have a surplus amount of money at their command, which they are wishing to invest in real estate at fast increasing values. NoW, I will not take space in this letter to describe or explain the fine opportunities you will have in this country to get for yourself a good farm at a reasonable price. But I will again refer those readers living in Jasper county, Indiana, or surrounding localities, to call and see Mr. B. F. Ferguson, of Rensselaer, Indiana, who can inform them what we have up here. Call on him immediately, as we have a Big STATE Land Sale in our county, Nov. 20, of very fine ands. See Mr. Ferguson in time to make up a party and come up at once and see for yourself, as we don’t wish to misrepresent anything. Hoping no one who is interested will pass up this golden opportunity of getting for themselves a farm, I am yours, Respectfully, Your former townsman, J. V. HARRISON.

Obituary.

Priscilla Smith, daughter of Daniel and Martha Smith, was born in Ohio Dec. 27, 1839, and with her parents came to Indiana in 1848. She united with the church at the age of 16 years, and lived a faithful and devoted Christian life until death. On Oct. 4, 1866, she was united in to John Humes, in Wabash county, Ind., and came to Jasper county, Indiana, that same winter, settling seven miles north of Rensselaer, in which neighborhood she resided until death. Her husband and three children preceding her to the farther shore. To them were born seven children. Those living are Mary L. Osborne, John W. Humes and Helen M. Lewis, of Rensselaer, Ind., and Pearl Hayes, of Burke, South Dakota. Mra Humes had been in poor health since early last spring and during the latter part of the summer went to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Osborne, in Rensselaer, that she might be near her physician, where she died at 2 a. m., Oct 9, 1908, aged 68 years, 10 months and 12 days. She was conscious to within about an hour of her decease.

Being of a cheerful disposition, her home was a panacea for discouragement Her confidence in God and her sympathetic disposition made her home a real asylum to the anxious and careworn. A true wife, a tender mother and obliging neighbor and a true Christian, all will realize keenly their loss. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. L. Byrd, of Rossville, 111., assisted by Rev. H. L. Kindig, of Rensselaer, Ind., at the Brushwood U. B. church, of which she had for many years been a member. Interment was made in Prater cemetery by the side of her husband. ♦

Mr. Marshall is Piqued.

When Thomas R. Marshall found himself elected governor of Indiana, he evidently concluded that his troubles were at an end, whereas, in fact, they have just! begun. He is taking constantly besieged by ardent of-fice-seekers, in spite of his plea to be left alone, and he has found it necessary to issue another formal statement which confirms the opinion previously prevailing that he is not in a humor to tolerate place-hunters. “I have no idea as yet as to wbat offic e are at my disposal,” he says, "nor to whom I shall give them, but I do know that the interests of applicants are not being furthered by hauling me around and barrassing me for promises at a time when I am sorely in need of rest. I asked nobody to vote for me as a personal favor, and I supposed that party work was done for party success.” It is pleasing to observe that Mr. Marshall has taken such high ground, but, if he .really believes what he says, he has small knowledge of “practical politics.” It is doubtless true that a vast majority of men strive for party success as a matter of principle, without ulterior motive, but there are a, few—a comparatively few, in both of the old par-

ties —pretending to have extenlve influence whose activities are inspired solely by hope and expectation of reward. In the list of names of those ( who have been harrasslng the gov- | ernor-elect are to be found several veteran place-holders who served under Governor Matthews more than a 1 decade ago and who have not done 'anything since except to look forward 1 to the happy day which would afford them at leabt a chance to resume theftformer occupations. Furthermore, the ' governor-elect will sooner or later discover that the men who are "hounding” him, as he says, will continue*' to do so until the last scrap of patronage has been doled out, whereupon, if unsuccessful, they will turn upon him and rend him. It is too early in the fray for Mr. Marshall to lose his temper. When once the place seekers are in full blast he will have a better understanding of what It means to be “harraseed,” or of what avail 1 it is to turn away wrath by making soft answers. Invoking only the unwritten law In her defense, Mrs. Nancy Murrlll has been acquitted at Jackson, Ky., of murder. She killed Miss Mary Terry, with whom her husband .was Infatuated.

Fred Chesley, a graduate of Purdue University, met a tragic death Wednesday morning at the Danville, TIL, foundry and machine shops. He was working overhead and his clothing was caught In the shafting and he was hurled violently to the floor, his head striking a machine. It was seen that the accident was a serious one and he was hastened to Lakeview hospital, where he soon died, Chesley was very popular while In Purdue. He was married only a few week ago. He was a member of the Purdue chaptef of Kappa Sigma. The great sensation of the day is Franz Molnar's masterpiece, "The Devil” (Ter Tuefel), a brilliant 3 act play that is daring, but at all times interesting and never Improper. The press and the clergy both unite in endorsing "The Devil” as the grandest play of a decade. It preaches a powerful sermon on morality and one that the intelligent people appreciate. An organisation of capable players, beaded by Mr. E. Laurence Lee are now offering this beautiful drama in the principal cities of the West, and they will appear at the Ellis Theatre, Tuesday, Nov. 17th.

Backache and many kidney ills follow: Urinary trouble, diabetes/ Doan's Kidney Pills cure them all. William Malone, living on South Illinois St., Monticello, Ind„ says: “I suffered from a lame back and pains in my loins so acutely that I could heardly get around at times. I could not lift anything without experiencing those sharp twinges. My kidneys were very sluggish and failed to act regularly, I did not rest well nights and felt generally miterable. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, procured them and was given relief at once through their use. Since then I have not had any troub's from my kidneys nor suffered from lame back.” Plenty more proof Ilka this from Rensselaer people. Call at B. F.
