JOHN EGER. “Uncle” Clint Hopkins, who has been under the weather for some time, was able to get out today and surprised his nephew George HopklnF, by dropping in on him for dinner, having walked a distance of about threequarters of a mile and then walk'nr; to the postofHce. He was 89 years of age on March 6th. A prominent man who was formerly a resident of Rensselaer, was at the Monon station a few days ago and remarked, “Why don’t you Just roast the Monon railroad until it builds you a new depot? I have been pretty well over the country and this is the worst old shack I ever saw in a town the size of Rensselaer.” Rensselaer has been promised a depot but we won’t know .whether we are going to get it or not until we see it started. We are nearing the end of April and it looks like it may go out vpry lamblike, probably having exhausted itself with bad conduct during the early and middle part of the month. Next Sunday *is the Brat day of May and something real good Is usually counted on fOT May, although during a few recent years It has been, guilty of some disappointments. It is hoped, however, that it will be an ideal month -this year, giving farmers fine weather to get in their corn.

Will Woodworth Having Some Misfortunes with Frontier Life.

Will Woodworth* son of Ancil Woodworth, who located on a ranch near Belle Fourche, S. Dak., had the misfortune to have his ranch shack burned down a few days ago. He had left home only about an, hour before land the, blaze was discovered across '.the prairie and he borrowed a horse and hurried back but the shack was a goner with all he had in it, including his new spring duds and all his vclothing except what he ha,d on his back. He had been saving money with which to prqye up his claim but will now have to use it to build another shack and defer proving up for a little while. Last winter he wag caught in a blizzard and almost froze to death, and he has decided that he is being handed a bunch of bad luck than he ought to have coming to him.

AUTO CRANK BREAKS GEORGE KETCHUM’S ARM.

Sndden Reversal Causes Handle to Strike Bight Forearm Breaking Both of the Bones. George P. Ketchum, a well known citizen and owner of an Si. F. automobile, suffered a compound fracture of his right forearm just above the wrist Wednesday afternoon at about 2:30 o’clock. He keeps his machine in Frank Donnelly’s private garage on Susan street, Just off of Front street, and was cranking up his machine preparatory to starting out for a drive. The .crank suddenly reversed and the handle struck his right arm, breaking both bones just above the wrist and one bone was forced through the flesh, thd skin being broken and blood running from the wound. He was taken .at once to his home, less than two blocks away, two neighboring women helping him to his home. Physicians were caller! and the fracture reduced. He was not otherwise injured and will probably be* able to get out within a few days but his arm will have to remain in a cast for several weeks. Practically every-automobile owner has been injured by the reversed crank buff this is the first case of a broken bone resulting in this county, so far as can be recalled.

Band Concerts Are to Begin Wednesday Night of Next Week.

Prof. Otto Braun’s Boys’ Band will begin the summer band concert season next Wednesday, May 4th, just the time he promised to have the boys ready when h 6 started in with them in December. At that time very few of them had ever had an Instrument In their hands but now each has developed a fair degree of proficiency and the few public appearances have assured them that they will prove a great attraction each Wednesday night. An effort is being made to uniform them and it is hoped to Aave them in band suits by the first or middle of June. The band room has been over Eiglesbach’s butcher shop but will be moved fhis week to a room in the Leopold building over Leopold’s clothing store-. The band concert programs will be published in the Republican if supplied by the instructor. A large crowd from town and country should turn out for the first concert.

Fountain Park Assembly Will Open on Saturday, August 13th.

Fountain Park Assembly, at Rem-ington,-will open on Saturday, August 13th, and the officers of the association are making every effort to provide splendid speakers and to make this session the best of any so far held. United States Senator J. P./Dolliver, of lowa, will be one of the speakers and his well known insurgency will doubtless call out one of the greatest crowds that ever gathered in the park. Ex-Goveror Hock, of Kansas, Will also be one of the speakers. It is planned to have an unusually large number of campers at the park during the entire assembly this year and it is probable that Rensselaer will be well represented in that popular Chautauqua park.

Who Will Go Farthest, A Horse or a Man, In 40 Days.

Considerable interest has centered in a discussion started at Van Wood’s depot barbershop and A. Simpson's grocery store, as to which has the greatest endurance for travel, a horse or a man. The proposition is to which could go the farthest in 40 days. Partisans of the different sides to the discussion have championed their cause with sufficient ardor to get up a big argument that has caused about all the men in the depot section to align themselves with either one side or the other. A roster at Van Wood's barbershop shows that 1? have voted in favor of the man outgoing the horse in 40 days, while 7 have taken the horae side of the argument.

DEMOCRATS HAD A WARM TIME AT BENTON CONTENTION.

Benton County Review Resents Interference of District Chairman at The county Convention. District Chairman Murphy, of White county, seems to have a happy faculty of “starting something” in -the ranks of his own party. The Benton Review, the democratic organ of Benton county, instead of recognising his authority as a party leader, handles him without gloves for his offleiousness in behalf of Taggart’s plans. Speaking of his part in the county convention at Fowler, it says: “At last the Taggart representative, Mr. Murphy, jumped to his feet and made a long harangue against the gov-, ernor’s and former democratic platforms, regardless of the fact that Mr. Murphy is a resident of White county, and his sticking his nose into the ioeal affairs of this county was uninvited, and a piece of ill taste and colossal impudence seldom seen in a local convention. Murphy came over from Brookston early in the day and has been, in company with Mike Duffy, fighting democratic principals.” To enlighten the public about the company Chairman Murphy was associating with, Editor Roby furtiny remarks: « As to Mike Duffy, some time ago, the Review took occasion to call attention to the fact that he was a traitor, a liar and a sneak.” With this gentle zephyr from Bentcn county still singing in his ears, Chairman Murphy went to Indianapolis and as a member of the sub-committee on rules, got still further into the limelight by helping fix up a plan for the state convention that almost set the anti-Taggart men wild with rage and caused the stormy interview Monday between John E. Lamb and Stokes Jackson in the Denison hotel lobby. Our Charlie is a very aggressive district chairman, but is very careless with his gun and is liable to do as. much execution in his own ranks as upon the enemy.

ROOSEVELT AFRICAN PICTURES AT THE PRINCESS SATURDAY.

The Only Film thnt Passed the ExPresident’s Censorship to be Ex- . hibited in Rensselaer. On April 18th there was released the only authorized and real moving picture of Col. Theodore Roosevelt during' his recent hunting trip In Africa. The story of how this picture was secured would itself be interesting. After the ex-president had refused point blank all importunities from American moving picture houses to have a photographer accompany him to the jungles of Africa, he met an Englishman at the home of a wealthy ranchman to whom he was under obligations for hospitality and upon the request of his host he permitted the picture with the understanding that he would have the right to cut out everything that did not meet his approval. To this end he has left only those things that are instructive and refining and there is not a thing of the sensational in the picture, but it contains scenes from the interior of Africa that none should fail to see. Herds of antelopes, hartcbeasts, giraffes, the hippo, the rhino, alligators, the characteristic dance of the inhabitants and their manner of living all are displayed just as Roosevelt found them. Manager Phillips is fortunate to get this picture which the English photographer sold for $65,000. It was released only ten days ago, and the Princess Will have it Saturday afternoon and night of this week, April 30th, the admission being only 10 cents. The Princess should be crowded at every performance and people from the country are especially invited to witness any one of the afternoon performances. Buy a Kuppenheimer Suit here, better goods, better made and better fitting than made to measure clothes at 1-3 more. ROWLES & PARKER.
