SOME NEW BOOKS IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

News Notes From the Library Will Be Published Regularly Hereafter In The Republican. American Poultry Culture, by R. B. Sando—A practical and well illustrated handbook, designed specially for the beginner and small breeder and limited to facts gained from the personal experience of an expert. One of the best books, on the subject. A Tuscan Childhood, by L. C. Cipriani—Reminiscences of the auth-> or’s childhood in Italy, giving an intimate view of life in a patrician family, of everyday conduct, discipline, influence of English nurses and GerInKE governesses, the significant ex-" periences, grave and gay, of a household of lively children. Written with unusual charm and freshness.

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, with her children, have been spending some time in Italy. Celery Culture, by W. R. Beattie—A practical treatise on the principles involved in the production of celery for home use and for market, including the selection of soil, production of plants, cultivation, control or insects and diseases, marketing and uses. Jock of the Bushveld, by Percy Fitzpatrick—A narrative of adventure in South Africa in which a remarkable dog, Jock, plays an important part. The * book may be read with more than ordinary pleasure for the sake of the dog and his doings, for the vivid description of the country, the natives and the wild animals that inhabit it, or for exciting hunting aud mining experiences. Ex-President Roosevelt has been in Africa for some months and has been through just such country as one reads about in this very interesting book. Behind the Scenes With the Mediums, by D. P.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, JANUARY 84, 1910.

FIRST MONTHLY HORSE SALE WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2.

Rensselaer Commercial Clab Will Inaugurate Sale and Invite Buyers From All the Large Cities.. * —■ ■ ■. ■■ V Rensselaer will hold monthly horse sales on the first Wednesday of each month beginning Wednesday of next week, February 2nd. The Rensselaer Commercial Club appointed a committee consisting of W. V. Porter, B. J. Moore find A. J. Harmon to start the sale going and they have decided to do a lot of advertising to make the first sale a big success.

These sales have been conducted successfully at Monticello for several years. Buyers come there from the leading commission houses of Chicago and Indianapolis and private buyers from all over the Country. All of these men will be invited to Rensselaer. Large bills will be printed and sent out to all the towns within a radius of 20 or 25 miles and every person that has a horse for sale should bring it to Rensselaer on that day. A member of the committee will visit Monticello next Tuesday, which is their regular sale day and ask all the buyers there to come to Rensselaer the next day. Bills will be posted at the Chicago stock yards and newspapers at Medaryville, Francesville, Monon, Wolcott, Wheatfleld, Roselawn, Mt. Ayr, Morocco, Brook, Goodland and Remington will help advertise the sale. Rensselaer started a, sale of this kind some years ago but did not keep itgoing. Now it is to be installed as a regular feature to take place the first Wednesday of each month. There is no expense of sale to the-, man with the horse. He brings it in town and sets a price on it. If a buyer takes him up’all right, if not he can take his horse back home and is at no expense. If he sells it he pays no commission to any one. Horse owners should not set a fictitious value on their animals, but should ask just what they want for them. The buyers are all men whohave had lots of experience in the business and who know the value of horse flesh. They will buy any horse that is for sale at Just what it is worth to them.

Remember the date is Wednesday, Feb. 2d, and bring your horses to Rensselaer on that day if you want to sell them.

Rowdies at Remington Start Rough House and Get Thumped.

The old fashioned bully does not figure very extensively any more and people generally believe that the class of smart Alecs who used to think it funny to break up public meetings and commit various acts of rowdyism had either died off or been reformed. But a case is reported from Remington that shows that a few of this class of fellows remain, but the treatment which was accorded them at Remington is calculated to reduce their number and diminish their activity. Two country boys named Kuboske came into Remington to attend a pla© at the opera house, which is managed by George A. Chappel. They boughtseats in the rear of the house and walked - up and took seats in the /e----served section. Mr. Chappel politely told them that they could not sit there without paying the difference in the price. They thought they would remain anyway and so informed Mr. ChappeL He told them they would have to move and they refused. Finally the manager informed them that if they had not moved in five minutes they would be forcibly ejected from the hall. They, sized George up and took his limited = proportions as an indication that he would be unable to fulfill his threat. When the 5 minutes grace had expired the ruffians sat stolidly in their seats and George advanced toward them and one of the boys struck him.. He waded in like a light weight champion and was assisted by 0. L, Maxwell, also small but nervy and before Levi and Bob Kuboski knew what was going on they were at the foot of the stairs nursing a number of severe bruises and the play was going on at the opera house Just as though nothing had happened. The affair had several good results. It demonstrated that the Bully always gets what is coming to him, also that i you can’t tell how hard a man can scrap by his size and lastly that a man is boss of his own property and the intruder must confirm to his rules or take the consequences. This should serve as a warning to rowdies and cause them to keep their places. It probably will be the last time that Manager Chappel of the Remington opera house will ever have to so forcibly assert his authority. Other will take his word for it and not challenge a demonstration.

Rensselaer Boy Escapes From Bramble House in Night Clothes.

The Bramble hotel at Lafayette was almost destroyed by fire last Friday night and the guests had a hard time in some instances to make their escape. The fire was discovered at 12:15 o’clock at night. The guests escaped by means of the fire escapes, although in some instances life ropes , were used and one woman who had fainted was carried from her apartment by a fireman. Will Platt, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Platt, of this city, who is attending business college there, stops at that hotel, there, stops at that hotel, and escaped down a fire escape scantly clad. He and other guests took refuge in a feed barn, where they donned such scanty raiment as they were able tdi rescue during their -hurried flight from the burning building. Mr. Platt went to Lafayette Sunday to see his son whose feet were badly frost bitten from coming in contact with the iron fire escape.

Mrs. Austin Hopkins returned this morning from a visit of two months with her daughter at Sullivan, Ind. Trustee Isaac Klght ia down from Fair Oaks today.

Bert Abbott, who was injured In an automobile accident Saturday, is apt to be confined to his home for several days, although he is not seriously injured. He had. a cut on his face, another on his head, and his chief injuries seem to be the result of his exposure. His kidneys and bladder are affected but no permanent bad results are anticipated.
