Christy Vick received another letter from his mother Monday, which had been written the day before. At that time bis father had not permitted the doctors to set his broken arm, and he was in great agony and the outcome was very uncertain. W. H. Wilcox, of Union township, -last week killed a hog from which was rendered 22 gallons of lard. A gallon of lard weighs 8 pounds and there was therefore 176 pounds of lard in the hog. There are some hogs in Rensselaer who have about the same amount of lard in them. Dr. Horton is having 11 feet cut -off from the back of the building occupied by Free Wood, the barber, nnd the laundry office, in order to admit of the construction by Roth Bros, of their new meat market, which they will erect the coming year. N. S. Bates will go to Indianapolis on the early train tomorrow and be on hand for a reunion of the Bates family at the home of his brother, Dr. Joseph Bates, on Christmas day. There are four of the brothers and one sister and all expect to spend the day in reunion. Rensselaer poultry raisers and farmers in general should begin to give some thought to the Rensselaer poultry exhibit, which takes plaoe at the armory the week of Jan 18th to 23rd. It will be a fine show and the more that patronize it the better it will be and the enterprise deserves the encouragement of every one. w Mrs. Bowman Switzer returned from Chicago Heights this morning. Her father. Rev. A. C. Abbott, on whose account she went there, is very low, and It is probable that be can not live through today. Other children of Mr. Abbott are Mrs. Korah Daniels, of Barkley township; Mrs. Franklin Ott and Mrs. Ben McCoy, of Chicago Heights, and Rev. Jaa T. Abbott, of Portland, Oreg.
FOUND—A bracelet Call here.
A telegram from Fowler to the Indianapolis Star of today tells of the sudden death at Earl Park yesterday of Harry J. Caldwell, a former member of the Indiana house of representatives, and prior to that at one ' time secretary to Richard Oglseby, when he was governor of Illinois. Mr. Caldwell was a wealthy farmer and well known throughout this section of the state. He had apparently been in the very best of health, and fell dead in his home at noon Monday. Mrs. Bert Goff and son Neal arrived here several days ago from Belle Fourche, S. Dak., where Bert took up a claim some two years ago, and where Mrs. Goff and son have been with him for several months past They continue to like their western home and Bert is getting along nicely with his claim. He is now engaging quite extensively in stock raising and he has remained there to care for it, although if he can find a dependable party to leave it to he will probably come back for a part of the winter. Mrs. Goff and son expect to remain here for two months or more, visiting her father, Marion I. Adams, and family and Mr. and Mrs. George W. Goff. J. Cecil Alter, son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Alter, has evidently inherited some of his father’s literary talent. He is now the editor of the Salt Lake Outlook, an illustrated monthly magazine “devoted to the advancement of ‘The City of Opportunities’ and tributary territory." The current number contains 54 pages and is a magazine of merit. Cecil went west four years ago and for some time worked in the government weather bureau station at Salt Lake, but the map work was too severe a strain on his eyes and he began work for a publishing house and soon proved his ability, first in the business office and later as a contributor to the literary publications of the city. When the new magazine was published be was made the managing editor and the excellence of the early numbers is due largely to his untiring efforts. It is another case of a Jasper county boy who has grown to prominence in a far away state.

Rhoades went to Cincinnati yesterday to remain over Christmas with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Radcllffe. Lem Huston is assisting Leonard Rhoades at the store during Mr. Rhoades’ absence.
The Knock-out Blow. The blow which knocked out Corbett was a revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the Jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but If a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he’d have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce Is bringing home to the public a parallel fact* that th<Momackls the most vulnerable organ out oPlhs pr>M ring as well as In It Ws proteetpur haatts, throats, feet and lungs, but theShJhrahoWe are utterly indifferent to, until disebqKfinds the solar plexus and knocks us outT Make vour stomach guild .ftfld gtraag tojk-pfi oi.Bgctog you gruikO.

Attorney G. A. Williams went to Carthage, 111., today, where Mrs. Williams had preceded him a few days and where they will spend about a week with her relatives. The sale of Sheriff-elect L. P. Sbirer Monday was a real good one, with a good crowd present and good prices prevailing. The sale totaled about $2,000, including some stock put in by outsiders. The college students are arriving home on almost every train now. John Ellis, Wade and Emmet Laßue, Belle Larue and others are already here, in addition to those previous 1 y mentioned. About fifty members of the Knights of Pythias lodge were present last evening when B. J. Moore and Van Grant received the third deg ee work. The session of the lodge was followed by a spread of liberal proportions and variety, and a p’easant evening was spent. Several people have had the SemiWeekly Republican sent to relatives for Christmas presents. It costs moderately and lasts an entire year, bringing news from the old home twice each week and causing the recipient to think of the donor every time the paper comes. Claud D. Stitt, former as istant postmaster at Wabash, who disappeared a few days before giving, being about $3,500 short in his accounts, has surrendered to government authorities, and was yesterday released on bail. He voluntarily gave himself up.

Stain, Mrs. Mildred Kennedy, Mrs. Doly (?) Leach, Mrs. E. Biggs, Mrs. Mary Clark, James Akers, Mrs. Leota Garette. Sheriff O’Connor was compelled to give up his early removal to Knlman, and will not spend Christmas as he had planned at his Kniman home. The moving was deferred until next Monday on account of the* 1 sheriff being kept so busy with tbe lower Iroquois drainage case, which has been on trial in the court for the past two weeks. Mrs, Charleß Schroyer yesterday marketed five dressed gee e that weighed even 60 pounds; the heaviest one weighing 15 pounds, which is some weight for a dressed goose. They were carefully dressed and therefore brought the top price. She also marketed Borne fine dressed turkeys, the weight of some of the fat toms reaching 21 to 24 pounds.

Mark Twain is credited with having said one time that he would not advise any man to marry for money, but that it was just as easy to fall In love with a rich girl as a poor one. But It is probable that married riches never made a real bappv husband, even though the courtshii and honeymoon was filled with bliss. The trustees of Pulaski county are in a dead lock over the election of a county superintendent of schools to take the place of the late J. H. Reddick. Thursday, fifteen ballots were taken with no results, and Friday they met again with no better results, after which they adjourned until December 26th. Thus far Mrs. J. H. Reddick, the widow of the deceased, has been In the lead but with not enough votes to elect. The Bt. Joseph college students have been leaving for the past few days for their homes to spend the holidays. Two young men who went to New York city took with them several dozen eggs. They paid 30 cents a dfczen for them here, but money will not buy fresh eggs in New York city at this time of the year. Probably a New Yorker could not get anything that would look better to him at this time of the year than a fresh egg. The State Bank of Rensselaer has just received a supply of gold coin of the new freak Issue. It has the S2O. $lO, $5 and $2.50 denominations, and each one of the coins seems to vie w’th tlie other in grotesque appearance. Its value looks good, but it seems a little like having a rich wife with a dreadfully homely face and ugly disposition. The old coin was Just aa valuable and a great lot better looking The present newspaper policy of keeping the public posted on the
acts of evil doers has come about because it has been in the interest of Bodety. There are a lot of persons who think that the world is much worse* than it used to be, because there is so much more criminal news reported, forgetting that they did not formerly know what was going on and were sublimely blissful in their ignorance. The publication of crime is not only a deterrent to lawbreaking, but it is a constant warning to citizens to be on the outlook. Burglars and thieves do not advertise. President-elect Taf( and family are to spend the time intervening from the present until he starts on bis Panama, trip at the Territt cottage, which stands on a hill about 200 feet above Summerville, a mile from Augusta, Ga. The cottage is surrounded by the residences of the winter tourists who visit Augusta regularly. It is situated in the rear of the Boh Air hotel, where the family will take thier meals. Vice-president-elect Sherman and family will also be guests of the Bon Air, although Mr. Sherman himself will spend but little time there. Mr. Taft Is fond of out door life and will take long rides each day along the country roads and spends part of his time playing golf. He is, however, a great student,' and most of his time is employed as a student of governmental problems that will confront his administration. The two leading merchants in Wolcott are former Rensselaer boys. They are Louie Leopold and Taylor Boicourt. Both started into business in a small way and grew to prominence and success with the aid of ' printer’s ink. The current issue of the Wolcott Enterprise contains a 1 two page advertisement for Mr. Leopold and a fpll page ad for Mr. Boicourt. While the other merchants there are quite good advertisers they must not expect to secure the hold on the business of that community that the two merchants mentioned have until they become bigger and better advertisers and put study and effort into the advertising business. The columns of the Republican have teemed with the advertising of Rensselaer merchants this year. A fine trade for them is the consequence.

A three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Williard Reed, of Delphi, was playing with some other children yesterday afternoon when a ladder that was standing against the side of the house was tipped over. It struck the little boy, breaking his neck and causing almost Instant death. The premium list of the Lowell Poultry and Farm Products Association has just been issued from the press of the Lowell Tribune. The book contains 64 pages, setting forth the prizes offered and containing the advertising of the* progressive merchants in that town. The show will be held at the Lowell opera house January 5,6, 7 and .8,
E. L. Hollingsworth and daughter, Dorothy, and son, Gerald, went to Kalamazoo today to spend Christmas. Mrs. Hollingsworth and Emmet had preceoed them there a few days. Miss Cecelia, who is attending Wellesley Academy, in Massachusetts, is also at Kalamazoo, and will accompany her parents here after Christmas, for the remainder of the vacation, which extends to Jan. Bth. Amos Davisson was caught between a wagon loaded with straw and a straw rick Tuesday and as the wagon was drawn along by the horses it hugged the stack and gave Mr. Davisson a severe squeezing. He fopqd it necessary to call a physician, and will probably be laid up for several days, although it 1b not thought .that he suffered internal injuries. The weather forecast tOf north* western Indiana for today was cloudy with possible showers. There have been some clouds but the sun has broken through them several times, and it is another beautiful day. Frosts and a slight freeze reported from certain parts of California, should make a Hoosier think himself about as well off here as any place in America. Ex-Senator Wolcott, formerly of Wolcott but now connected with the Western Motor works in this city, has leased the Sutton residence on East Market street and will make this his permanent home. Mr. and Mrs. Wolcott have been here for some time, boarding at the Justice home but is now shipping bis household goods here to furnish his new home, —Logansport Pharos.
Ray Yeoman, one of the teachers at Purdue, who came home this morning, did not stay long. He had an invitation from a former college friend who is now employed In the Chicago offices of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, to accompany him on a pleasure trip over the road, saying that there would be no traveling expense. Ray was pleased to receive the invitation and went to Chicago on the 9:55 train to accept his friend’s hospitality. Dr. English las recei ed f equent reports from the condition cf h s brotber-in-iaw, F.ed Brown, who w. s operated on for appendicitis at a hospital In Daavi’le, 111, la t F,lday, and he 13 naw g.ttlng al ng very nicely although he will probably be kept at the hospital for a month or more. The operation disclosed that In addition to the obstruction of the appendix there were several adhesions and these considerably complicated the operation. The booze which for so long was stored at the court house after the raid of the Rosey hotel last spring, was taken back to Rosey almost a month ago, and when the Rosenbaum family took a somewhat hasty departure from this place last week a part of the booze was left at the hotel. It did not take long for some of the dry tongues to find it out and the now vacant hotel waa raided again last night, but not by officers of the law with a search warrant This time It was raided by several of the chronic topers who feared it might go to waste. They found it without the use of a search warrant and guzzled enough down to make several pairs of twisted legs. Since the saloons at Mt Ayr and Monon quit business the local topers upon whom the habit Is firmly settled have some difficult times to satisfy thslr allotriophagy. Some men airs reformed because they want to be and
some because they can’t help it The class who drank the supply that Rosey bad left were evidently the kind that some harsh methods of reform will have to be applied to. The Purdue college boys, including Vaughn Woodworth, Omar Day, Paul Glazebrook, Lillo Hauter and Prof. Ray . Yeoman, arrived home yesterday. And Ray Hopkin* and George Long came home from Wabash. A cartoon by McCutcheon in the Chicago Tribune this week quite appropriately illustrated the college boy’s holiday vacation at borne. The first picture showed a mother greeting her sop with open arms on his return from college. His face beamed with joy to find bis mother well and the mother’s face exhibited her pride at the cultured air of tbe son, and she was proud that he was to spend his vacation at home. Tbe next picture showed him leaving the bouse to accept an Invitation to supper and he was also to attend a ball that evening that would not let him home before 3 a. m. The next day he responded to a dinner invitation an <T this program of absence was carried out throughout bis vacation. One of tbe pictures showed the parents seated at the Christmas dinner. The son’s chair was vacant, as he had been invited out, and father was saying: “Well, I wonder if I shall get to see him while he is here.’’ Parents of college boys confirm tbe truthfulness of the cartoon. The boy* are anxious to get home, but just as soon as they are satisfied that mother and father are all right they are off to attend to the social affairs of the season, and there is an unresponsive longing in the parents' hearts for some of the boy’s vacation time.

Writes Up Jesse E. Wilson.
A page ih the Sunday Indianapoliil Star wan devoted to Writing up Hoosiers who are {ed&al office holders and the following was said about our townsman, Hon. Jesse E. Wilson, whose picture was published in a gallery of other distinguished Hoosiers. The Star said: The Interior Department also has three Indianans holding high official positions. Jesse E. Wilson, of Rensselaer, assistant secretary of the interior, is one of the most popular Hoosiers in Washington. Mr. Wilson was bom in Owen County, Indiana. He was educated at Indiana University and was graduated from the law department of that institution in 1896. After graduating he chose Rensselaer as the scene of his future labors, and there entered upon the active practice of his profession, soon obtaining a very lucrative business. Like all Hoosiers, he took an active part in politics and allied himself with the republican party. In 1892 he was elected to the Indiana House, of Representatives and In 1906 was appointed assistant secretary of the Interior by President Roosevelt. Mr. Wilson came to Washington without any previous knowledge of public office, but as much of the duties of his new position are In the line of his profession it did not take him long to get “the hang” of affairs, and be is now admitted to be one of the best men who have held that office. All pension appeals, matters connected with patents and concerning Indians are directly In his charge, and he also has supervision over certain disbursements from the contingent fund. He has obtained such a grasp of the dutiee of his office that he administers them with ease and lack of friction hitherto unknown. He is never In a hurry, never flustered, but takes up and dispatches business with a promptness that bas made him one of the most popular officials at the capital. In July last he was designated by the President as chairman of the United States commission having charge of the Government exhibit at the Yukon-Alaskan Exposition. The disbursement of $126,000 of the $6000,000 appropriated for the Government exhibit (SIOO,OOO for Alaska and $25,000 for Hawaii) conies directly under the supervision of Mr. Wilson as assistant secretary of the interior.
