RENSSELAER KICKED OUT OF H. S. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

Ineligibility of Kirk and Wnrtena Who Played Against Morocco Given ns Cause for Action.

The board of control of the Indiana High School Athletic Association held a meeting Saturday at the Claypool hotel at Indianapolis. All the members were present and they decided to suspend Rensselaer from the association until December 1, 1910, alleging that Hugh Kirk and Robert Wartena, who played in the game of football last fall against Morocco, were ineligible. The protest was madp by Morocco, the principal of that school alleging that Kirk and Wartena should not have been allowed to play. Both were factors in defeating Morocco, who had previously won from Rensselaer at Morocco. The impression here seemed to be that Kirk was eligible and he was played throughout the season, being instrumental largely in the fine showing that Rensselaer made, especially at the last of the season. The board, however, finds him to be disqualified on the ground that he had engaged in athletics during nine semesters. As a part of this was in Illinois and the faculty here were not advised on that matter it is probable that a reinstatement might be effected if that were the only charge against the local school, but it is stated that the playing of Wartena was a violation of the rules as he had not been in school long enough when he took part in the game. The effect will be that Rensselaer 1b barred from meeting any of the other high schools in the association, in any athletic contests until the suspension expires which will not be until after the 1910 football season closes. If Rensselaer has a football team this fall, therefore, it will have to look for games outside the association and practically outside of the state, as almost all the teams in the state belong to the association. This is disappointing in view ot the fine prospects for 4 splendid team this year. It is right, however, that this punishment should be meted out if Rensselaer teacherß have knowingly countenanced any violations of the association. as high school athletics should be free .from professionalism.

W. H. MORRISON VICTOR IN SHORT FISTICUFF. Opponent Done the Cussing While Morrison Employed Fists to Settle Creamery Discussion. It took W. H. 'Morrison, the proprietor of the local cream buying station, and a rather small man handicapped by being crippled In one leg, only one round to put an opponent named Weston down and out, with the credit of first blood and self defense on hia side, last Saturday noon. Weston has been soliciting among farmers in and around Parr with a view to starting a creamery and butter factory. Mr. Morrison does a cream buying business and has considerable patronage near Parr and the two men had come into contact with the same farmers and are said to have been saying unpleasant things about each other.

Saturday noon Weston, W. L. Wood and B. D. Comer were eating dinner at Fate’s restaurant when Morrison called after a loaf of bread. Weston left his place at the table and intro-r duced himself to Morrison and they shook hands in a friendly manner but in a little bit began to get very personal and became so disorderly that Mr. Fate had to quiet them. Morrison went out and Weston went to his place at the table but at once got up and stated that he was going to Morrison’s ofllce. He saw Morrison near the Duvall livery barn and walking up to him he applied a very vile name to him and one that usually means fight. Mor-< rison struck him and sent him to the ground and when he arose he knocked him down again. A third blow followed with the same result and then Weston was carried into the livery stable and later taken to a doctor’s office for repairs. It is said that Weston was the aggressor and that Morrison could do little else than what he did. No arrests were made.

It is not improbable that the escapade will have an ill effect on Weston’s plan to start a creamery.

ATTENDED BIG BANQUET WHILE AT WASHINGTON.

Captain Wasson Guest at Reception to Gen. Van Sant Given by-the Department of the Potomac.

Capt. and Mrs. J. M. Wasson returned Saturday evening from their visit with Hon. and Mrs. Jesse E. Wilson in Washington, D. C. Mr. Wllbou continues to get along nicely with his work as assistant secretary of the interior department and himself and family are all well except that the children had been having the measles.

Captain Wasson found a great deal to do to occupy his time while there and spent part of his time attending the Ballinger investigation, and he.is much of the opinion that Pinchot and Glavis have somewhat the best of the matter up to date, while public sympathy there is very much in their favor.

Mr. Wasson saw more of President Taft than on any previous visit to the nation’s capital and on February 16th he attended the reception and banquet given in honor of Samuel R. Van Sant, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, which was given at the Arlington hotel by the Department of the Potomac, being the 42d annual encampment of that organization. President Taft attended the reception and in his address referred to the public criticisms of his administration, and said that he would feel them more keenly were it not for the fact that all of his predecessors except Roosevelt, who seemed to be an exception to all rules, had been criticiced more than he.

General Van Sant spoke on the subject “The Grand Army of the Republic,” while there were other speakers of note and the affair was extremely pleasant. The menu was very elaborate.

Mr. Wasson has every confidence in Taft and says he believes the country generally approves his policies, and expects to see his administration en--tirely successful.

DO IT NOW.

Rensselner People Should Not Walt Until It Is Too Late. The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright’s disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint. If you suffer from backache, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys at once. Doan’s Kidney Pills are especially for kidney disorders—they cure where others fail. Over one hundred thousand people have recommended them. Here is one of many cases in this vicinity. Mrs. Chas. Livingston, 1026 Miami avenue, Logansport, Ind., says: “I have no hesitation in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them several years ago for backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and they benefited me greatly. I publicly endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills at that time and now still hold the same high opinion of them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50c. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.

Terrible Croup.

My little boy, who is four years old, has suffered a lot with croup. On several occasions we thought he was gone. After trying all the old time remedies and most of the new, I came home one night at midnight, and my wife said, “The boy has the croup again—suppose you get a bottle of Hyomei.” “More Junk,” I said, "but we will circulate our money so they all will get some.” , I hastened to an all night drug store, brought it home. In five minutes he was breathing easier. In fifteen minntes he was sound asleep. It broke the croup so quickly it scared me. , Anyone wishing to cure the croup of a child I hope will give Hyomei a trial. Wishing you the best of success, which you surely deserve, I remain. Job. E. Clark, 204 6th St. S. E., Washington, D. C. Oct. 7, 1909. Hyomei is a remarkably effective remedy in case of croup and It should be in every home where there is a croupy child.
