ALL GUESSES FELL DOWN IN CONTEST THIS WEEK.

Not a Correct Answer Out of Nearly A Hundred Guesses Sent In This Week. The Missing Words. Duplicate, in the Cash Store ad.

The “Buggy” Man. , Money in the Chicago Bargain Store ad. Bring your friends to the greatest “moqpy” saving sale in Western Indiana. Stoves in ad of Rhoades’ hardware store. This was not missing from the Daily t Republican^

Strange as it may appear, not a correct answer was received in the missing word contest for last week. About a hundred guesses were received from all parts of the country. Many gave part of the words correctly, but no one was able to find them all. The reward for finding the missing words will be doubled in the next contest, $4 being awarded, $2 for the Semi-Weekly and $2 for the Daily. In the next contest only two words will be left out, one each from two ads. This should make it easy to find the missing words. The contest will not close until Monday noon. In case more than one correct answer is received the money will be divided equally. Send in your guesses. The richest thing yet, “Frou Frou” sugar wafers, Home Grocery. J. H. Montz, of McCoysburg, took the 10:55 train here for Monticello, today. Mrs. Chas.

Grace Augusta Phillips, 5 years of age, was hostess Sunday evening at the Princess theatre, entertaining friends among the little folks and their parents to the number of about 250. Two comic picture films were run, greatly amusing and entertaining the guests. Musical selections were also given by Mrs. Ray Wood and daughter Ruth, Harry Eger, Carl Duvall, Marjorie Loughridge and Inez Kiplinger. Several of the guests showered May baskets on the pretty little-hostess and the evening was a very pleasant one. ■ The recent death of Samuel L. Clemens, “Mark Twain,” marks the passing of the greatest humorist of the period, and he seems to have covered the joke field so thoroughly that it Is probable that it will be some time before another Will be found to take his place unless our good friend, Orie B. Rockpile, of the Ripsnorter, decides to engage in syndicate writing, thus giving to the world the advantage of his talent now limited to Brook and vicinity. We belive that all who know Orie will agree that he Is the greatest joke(r) of the age since the demise of Twain.

Ad Robinson, of lola, Kanu., hai sent to Mrs. C. A. Roberts for the Milroy Soldiers’ monument fund a check for $5.00. Mrs. Amy Yoemgn, of Kingman, Kans., has sent SI.OO. Her father, Whit Israel, belonged to the 87th Indiana regiment and was killed at the battle of Chickamaugua.

Johnson, of Wilsonville, Neb., a former resident writes*. “Although I have not lived'in Rensselaer for 26 years I have never lost interest in the old home.” L. W Stockwell, of Sparta, Tent)., sends $1 and writes, "For the honor I hold for the General and soldiers and the dear old home.”

Court Room, Main Floor and Basement of Court House Busy.

There is a great deal doing at the court house today. Court ip going on in the west court room, the grand jury is -in session in the grand jury room, investigating bridges, bridge contractors, and bridge contracts. On the main floor the commissioners are in session, and the treasurer’s office is swarmed with people who put off settling their taxes until the last day, which seems to have included a great many as they were lined up four and five deep shortly after noon. In the basement County Superintendent Lamson is receiving the board of education, and most of the trustees are bringing their school enumerations. There seems to be a shortage of children of school age in almost every township and town. Rensselaer shows 620 as against 649 last year; Remington shows 257 to 262 last year. Wheatfield shows an increase from 108 to 117.

Center of Population Not Expected to Move Far.

The center of population of the continental United States, which at the time of the first census was twentythree miles east of Baltimore, has been traveling westward with each decade. In 1900 it was located near Columbus, Ind., about forty miles south of Indianapolis. In 1890 it was twenty-six miles farther east and in the two previous decades it kept rather near to Cincinnati. With each decade it has moved a little farther west, but has continued to keep very close to the thirty-ninth parallel, the latitude approximately of Baltimore and Cincinnati.

With the developement and spread of population in the west the wonder is that the center of population keeps so disproportunately far to the east of the center of area. It now stops at about one-fourth of the entire distance from coast to coast. The present census will doubtless carry it a little farther west, andnerhaps a little to the south, because of the new population in Oklahoma. Other western states have made large additions to their population, but they have lost much by migration to Canada and latterly to Mexico. It is not likely, therefore, that the center of population will move out of Indiana, or, indeed, get very far from its last stopping place. While the west is growing the east is not standing still. The great cities particularly are growing at a rapid rate, which Bhows no signs of abating. Of the twelve largest cities in the United States, by the census of 1900, eight were east of the center of population. The prodigious growth of New York city alone will almost balance the developement and settlement of new area in the west. 'Therefore, while the west grooms along at a rate that promises to put everything behind it, the center of population insists on staying at each decade just a few miles farther west of its camping ground ten years before, showing that while the whole country is growing the old east increases in population almost as rapidly as the new west.

Indians at the Princess Tonight.

Indian Vaudeville will be the feature tonight at the Princess theatre. The company consists of Sioux and Cherokee Indians, Chief Ogalala Fire, who is now 87 years old and is the last survivor of the 6,000 Indians that actually took part in the famous Custer Battle. The Chief will lecture on that terrible massacre at each performance Princess Wauema, a full blooded Cherokee Indian princess, daughter of Chief Swift Panther (who was leader of a band of about twp hundred braves who are held to account for many scalps of people who attempted to cross the frontier in the early days) will entertain with Indian songs and tribal dances. Miss Charlotte Codding, who has been in charge of the Monnett School for Girls for some time, will leave this afternoon for St, Louis, Mo., where she will be identified with the Epworth Evangelical Institute. Her place here will be taken by Miss Grace Findley, who was with the school, on one previous occasion. ~Jk

MUST BELIEVE IT.

When Well Known Rensselaer People Tell It So Plainly. When public endorsement is made by a representative citizen of Rensselaer the proof is positive. You must believe it. Read this testimony. Every batkache sufferer, every man, woman or child with any kidney trouble will find profit in the reading. Charles Platt, Van Rensselaer St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I can highly recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills, knowing from personal experience that they are an effective kidney medicine. For many years I was subject to attacks of kidney complaint and I often had such severe backaches that it was almost impossible for me to stoop. The secretions from my kid•neys were unnatural and too frequent in passage and this weakness showed that something was wrong with my kidneys. Dizzy spells were common and I was often afraid to walk across the floor lest I fall. Two years ago I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and got a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store. They acted just as represented and in a short time removed the backache and improved my condition in every way. I keep Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house all the time and whenever I use them, benefit follows.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s —and take no other.

Dedication of the New Church To Take Place May 16th and 17th.

The dedication of the fine new church edifice at St. Joseph’s college will occur May 16th and 17th. Governor Thomas R. Marshall will be one of the speakers. The others will be announced within a few days. As it is one of the finest churches in Indiana and probably the most beautiful edifice from the standpoint of Interior decorations in the state, it will be made the occasion for a mammoth gathering and will be advertised' extensively. Many invitations have been sent out and several Catholic bishops and possibly one or two archbishops will be here. Because Mrs. Robert Hargraves, of Logansport, would not drink beer with them, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Be bee assaulted the woman with a club and knife last Tuesday. The woman staggered to her home, where she received medical attention. Mr. and Mrs. Bebee are under arrest.
