Paul Wood, of south of town, killed two chicken hawks yesterday and his brother Chauncy killed one Monday. Chicken hawks are very hard to shoot and it takes a shrewd hunter to bring, one down. The .Wood boys when on a hawk hunting trip, spend several Ilnurs and adopt all klpd of ruses to fool these destructive birds. They have located two of their nests and expect to finally shoot the old ones by watching the trees which contain the nests. We have unloaded 5 car loads, over 1,000 barrels of flour since Jan. Ist, 1910. More flour than all the other merchants of Rensselaer have handled. We are not giving ourselves credit for salesmanship, but give the credit to the high quality of the flour. Remember every sack guaranteed to be the best flour made or money refunded. Aristoß, Gem of the Valley, of Lord’s Best, only $1.60 a sack. JOHN EGER. Tom Parker writes to have his Republican sent to Arvilla, N. Dak., to which place he removed from Larimore.

He said that from where he was sitting as he wrote he could look out on a snow bank ten feet high, in which his children were playing.

Patrick Halligan and daughter Maggie arrived in Rensselaer this ing from Ocala, Fla., where they had' spent the winter.

Mr. Halligan is, about 90 years of age and has been in very poor health all winter.

Referee Bowers Resigns Office To Take Up Law Practice.

John O. Bowers, one of the best known lawyers of Lake county, who has been the referee in bankruptcy in the federal court in Hammond, under appointment by Judge Francis E. Baker and Judge A. B. Anderson for the past nine or ten years, has tendered his resignation. “ The estates of the McCoys were settled under Referee Bowefs and he visited Rensselaer a number of times to hear evidence in the case. Attorney Bowers has been contemplating his resignation for some time and about two years ago he was about to resign when he reconsidered the matter and held on for a while longer. About a year ago he signified his desire to continue for another four-year term, was appointed and filed his ’bond, but now he finds that his law practice and his business interests are such, as to make it impossible for him to longer carry on the work. He will probably open law offices in Hammond and Gary. y

When the prohibitionists of Indiana had their state convention at Indianapolis a few weeks ago they found two or three whiskey 'bottles in the convention hall, evidently left there by some of thp republican delegates who attended a convention in the same hall the previous week. The prohis made quite a fuss about it and the democratic papers chirped it all oyer and pointed out that the evidence of these two or three whiskey bottles proved cqnclusively that the whole republican convention was in the influence of the saloon, when no party of any period ever made the sacrifice that the republican party of Indiana did in the cause of temperance two years ago. But that is an old story, while the whiskey bottle discussion is a current one. And you would think, by the the democrats were working it that the democratic party was the , party ,of white garmented purity. It might astonish some, therefore. If they found that one, of the delegates to today’s democratic county convention became so intoxicated that when he got off the train he didn’t know which end was up and had to be tucked away by his fellow delegates who wouldn’t allow him to attend the convention. Empty whiskey bottles in a convention hall that was occupied by republicans may look suspicious, but not so much so as a democratic delegate that had the contents under his vest. It Is certainly a difficult matter to shift the booze burden. The Wayne county commissioners may be asked to offer a reward to solve the mystery in the death of Eddie White, the young Whitewater farmer who died last December from what was said’ by his physician at that time to be ptomaine poisoning. Part of the stomach wag afterward sent to the state chemist, who found traces of arsenic. In his mother’s home at Martinsville Thursday, Fred Ullery shot and probably fatally wounded Emma Riddle and shot himself through the neck. Ullery is 30 years old and the girl 19. The eatjbe of the shooting is a mystery.

Indianapolis Expert Says Fruit Crop Not Damaged by Frost.

'Hiram P. Dean, an authority on fruit culture, says of the crop’s chances: “Having had Bqveral failures of a general fruit crop there is an unusual interest in the outlook for the coming summer. “The present cold snap and snowstorm have not damaged the fruit in the least in this section and now promise to pass by without injury, as there are no very low temperatures in the Northwest. It will require a drop of 28 to 26 degrees before any peach buds are killed, while in their present condition, and even then there would be enough buds left to make a fair crop, as the peach ‘sets’ enough buds to make a fair crop if four-flfths are killed. “While there is more fear of kills of the fruit crop in spring, yet the actual loss in spring is about one to ten in the winter. Having had an experience of over forty years in peach growing, our records show only two total spring kills In that time. There have been several partial kills of the buds, but they were often beneficial as it saved us the expense of thinning, which had to be done when there was a full crop “The present outlook is very favorable as there is a very full bloom on all kinds of fruit and there has been plenty of sunshine up to the present storm to insure good pollenization.”

More Friends of the Soldier Send Aid for the Monnment.

Albert Fendig, of Brunswick, Ga., an old Rensselaer boy and one who has made good in the business world, sends $5 to help in the erection of the Milroy Soldiers’ monument. He says in his letter: "I have your letter of April 14th and take pleasure in enclosing you check herewith for $5 toward the Milroy monument. This is a splendid movement and one that has been long neglected, as the splendid record of General Milroy, as well as of all the brave soldiers from Jasper county is certainly worthy of this recognition. Please give my very best regards to all my friends.” Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Ward, of Chalmers, Ind., send 92 and remarked In a short letter: “We a're glad that we can help the good cause along, and wish that the grave of every old soldier might be appropriately marked with a monument.” Elbert T. Antrim, another of Rensselaer’s young men that the town and his old friends are proud of, sent 91 toward the monument with the statement that he hopes to be present at the unveiling. - —7 e— • Impure blood runs you downmakes you an easy victim for organic diseases.
