GRAND JURY FINDS EIGHT INDICTMENTS

And Prosecutor Files One In the Form Of an Affidavit—No Arrests Made And Secrecy Prevails. The grand jury adjourned Saturday after visiting the jail and tjje county farm, each off which they* found in good condition. They had spent a rather busy week and returned eight indictments, which are not public and it is understood that the parties against whom they were returned have not yet been arrested. It is probable, therefore, that the x persons* the indictments are against, are non-residents or temporarily absent from the city, or the warrants against them would have been served. Besides the eight indictments, the prosecuting attorney also filed one in the form of an affidavit.

Young Married Man Accused Of Strange Sort of Crime.

A young married man residing in the ehst part of town is" accused by neighbors of having during two or three days recently stood at the window in a nude condition, exposing his person to women and girls. The matter was called to the attention of the city marshal and it is probable that he will be placed under arrest. It is evidently a form of insanity. W. R. Shesler made a business trip to Lafayette today. Fine white clover honey, 15 cents a pound, at Rhoades’ grocery. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. David Shumaker, of Milroy township, a daughter, May 6th.

WRENS WIN FIRST GAME FROM GOODLAND ATHLETICS.

Exhibition was Poor but Crowd Enthusiastic for Locals, Who Look Good in the Infield. Ten to five. Thus ended the first struggle on the local ball diamond, the Wrens being the rightful claimants to the long end, while the Goodland Athletics wqre adorned with the short, end. The game was not well played, I Owing, no doubt, largely to the fact that it was the first gamq and that the players had not indulged in any practice. Kevin, the Chicago midget, who played with Rensselaer -fnost of last year at 3d base, was on shortstop yesterday and will probably fill that post on the 1910 Wrens. He was to bring a pitcher named Ryan with him, tut Ryan was injured tn a practice game Saturday and Kevin had to pick up any old thing and he did. His name was Lawrence and he did not prove much of a slab artist. He served only, 6 innings, when Howard Clark was substituted and pitched two, and McGurren pitched the last. Goodland was weak in its pitching department. Gravel lasted only three innings and was relieved by Champley. Between them they gave eleven bases on balls, which added to the five hits which the Wrens gathered and a few errors made by the visitors let the birds make a total of 10 runs. In the meantime the Goodlanders had accumulated a total of 5 runs, on .Wren errors and 7 hits. Neither team had an earned run during the game. The Wren infield played a gdod game and Wilcox was strong in the outfield. It was evident that some practice is needed and that it will be necessary for ths - Wrens to get their batting eyes if they are to win many games. There were 164 paid admissions and everyone seemed anxious to have the team round into shape and pleased that we started off with a victory even though the game was not very interesting from a spectacular standpoint.

Fourth of July Committee Throws Up Job for Lack of Aid.

C. G.- Spitler, as chairman of the finance committee of the 4th of July celebration, has conferred with the other members of the committee afid it has been decided by them to throw up the job, owing to a lack of cooperation from the business men. President Worland took this position before the meeting was called for last Friday night and so announced through the paper. He made a visit to almost every store in town and urged the business men to come out to the meeting, but they were not there and it seems that they are not taking much Interest in the proposed celebration. The committee appointed was willing tp go ahead with the work if they were sure of having the assistance of the business men but they were unwilling to go ahead with it when they, were going to have to beg for the aid that is required. If the business men want a celebration now it is up to them to say so.

Old Soldiers are Planning for Observation of Decoration Day.

At the regular meeting of Rensselalaer Post, No. 84, held last Friday night, arrangements were, begun for the observance of Memorial Day. Burgess Dillon, John Thornton and A. J. Bellows were made a committee on program and they have begun plans to make the service ono of the best ever held in Rensselaer. bn Sunday, May 29th, at Trinity M. E. church, Rev. C. L. Harper will deliver the memorial sermon. On Monday, May 30th, the decoration of the graves will take place. The marching plan will be followed and invitations will be sent out to all organizations to participate in the march, including Sunday schools, the militia company, etc. At the cemetery the address will be made by Attorney George A. Williams, who accepted the invitation from the committee. All people should feel It their duty to aid in the service and to help to make this year’s memorial to the heroic soldiers of the civil war one of the most impressive ever held. Correct size and style calling cards at the Republican.

Council Will Elect a New Nightwatch at Tonight’s Session.

The city council will meet tonight and among other things will elect a nightwatch, E. M. Thomas, who has been the nightwatch for the past three years, will not be a candidate, having understood that there was some desire for a change, owing to the fact that he, the mayor, councilmen and marshal were all new, and that there Vas a demahd for a complete change. Mr. Thomas has made an excellent officer and his decision to quit will be regretted by many and we believe most of the business men. Of course, there are other good men, and it is probable that the council will selqpt a capable and qualified man from the following list of candidates, viz. Frank Critser, Chas. W. Platt, Harvey Moore, Lyman Zea, Wallace Saylef and Jesse Gates. Coucilman Kresler, who is now traveling on the road, will be here tonight. The court Saturday refused a new trial to the C. & E. I. railroad, in the case brought by John J. Lawler, and an appeal was granted to the appellate court. The Dexter ditch was ordered established after some changes in assessments had been made, and Mrs. Cordelia M. Williams prayed an appeal to the appellate court. A new case was filed Friday, being the Aetna Life Insurance Co. vs. Iva Moffitt, a complaint on notes and mortgage.

Grocery Satisfaction If your grocer pleases you in every particular, you have no cause for changing. Even WE can do no more than that. But if you think some of making a shift, we would be glad to give you the best service of which we are capable. Often and often we have turned now-and-again customers into steady patrons. And we lose a surprising few of the really particular grocery buyers, who once become our customers. Try us on anything you like. McFarland & Son Reliable Greeers. • • / ■ " Vi’
