Dog owners are pretty generally complying with the ordinance requiring that dogs be muzzled during the months of July and August. Yesterday the city marshal was on the lookout with a rifle for unmuzzled dogs and only one dog fell a victim to hiß rifle. It was a shepherd dog that made a practice of running after passing automobiles. It is also noticeable that since the marshal has been on guard that there are fewer dogs on the street than formerly. Oliver C. Goldsmith, a retired banker and business man of Lafayette, died suddenly Sunday. He was sitting on the porch of his home when he was stricken and died in a short time. The coroner said that heart trouble was the cause of death. The attack was superinduced by the intense heat. It is expected that Colonel Roosevelt will be named by President Taft as chairman of the commission authorized by the joint resolution of congress to report to congress the plans for permanent and world-wide peace, thereby relieving the nations of burdens of armament.

The laws of Indiana requires that automobiles and bicycles must display lights while on the streets at night, whether running or standing still. Owing to the danger of cars and wheels running without lights at night, Nlghtwatch Critser has decided to enforce this law and hereafter all owners of automobiles and bicycles will be required to display lights at night.

Supposedly Insane, Mrs. Belle Marlin Locked Up.

Mrs. Belle Marlin, wife of Steve Marlin, left a few days ago for a visit with relatives in Kentucky. At Rushville she was overcome with the heat and left the train. She was discovered wandering around, and the officers, supposing her to be Insane, locked her up in jail. Later they discovered her true condition and identity and telegraphed here, notifying her husband of her whereabouts. He went to Rushville and brought his wife home yesterday, who is now getting along as well as could be expected.

Will Be Forced to Celebrate Without the Bottled Beer.

An early morning fisherman today witnessed a sight that is a rare occurrence in a dry town like Rensselaer. He was sitting on the river bank near the business part of town, when two women appeared with baskets on the stone wall of the river bank and began hurling bottles of beer in the stream. He was helpless to rescue the precious fluid that was floating down stream and some lucky fisherman in the Kankakee will probably come across the bottles about the Fourth and celebrate in proper style. It is supposed that the beer was thrown into the stream by women who objected to their husbands celebrating the Fourth in this manner.

Death of John B. Neal, Former Resident of Rensselaer.

We are in receipt of a copy of the Villisca, lowa, Review, containing an account of the death of John B. Neal, a former resident of Rensselaer, at the Provident Hospital, in Chicago, June 19th. Brights disease was the cause of his death. Burial took place at Vllisca, his former home. Mr. Neal lived in Rensselaer f r mi 1891 to 1894 in the Presbyterian parsonage. In the latter year he moved to Vilisca and in March of this year to Chicago, where his death took place. He is survived by his wife and four children: Mrs. F. L. Jenkins, of Regina, Sask., Canada; Mrs. John Kenyon, of Oakland, Cal., and Virginia and Arthur, of Chicago. One son, Herman, died in 1898.

Daniel, senior senator from Virginia, died at the Lynchburg sanitarium at 10:35 o’clock Wednesday night, his death being due to a recurrence of paralysis. The immediate cause of his death was cerebral hemorrhage. Ft. Wayne at the present time has more jobs than It has men to fill them. This is because of the immense amount of building, pavement and track elevation work now going on there. All the factories and railroad shops are after men.

The Way to Treat the Cottony Maple Scale.

Right now M the time when all soft maple threes should be carefully examined for tne Cottony Maple Scale, says Benjamin W. Douglass, state entomologist. This insect, which is inconspicuous during ten months of the year, is now very readily noticed owing to the unusual development of great masses of a cottony substance containing the young scales. Each year the pest becomes more and more serious and is constantly extending its range. It attacks all species of maple, but is especially partial to the common soft maple. It also attacks the elm and an allied form is injurious to grapes. After hibenating on the twigs of trees all winter the female lays large quantities of eggs in May and June. It is at this season that the scale is most conspicuous, clinging to the under side of the twig and surrounded at one end with great masses of cottony padding which is developed from the body simultaneously with thp eggs. The cottony substance is persistent on the branches through the summer and until worn off by the wind and rain. The eggs hatch in a short time and the young at once migrate to the leaves where they attach themselves in rows along the veins and begin feeding. They grow rapidly and as summer advances the males and females are differentiated, the males developing wings. At the approach of fall the fertilized females attach themselves to the underside of the twigs where they remain all winter. The male dies at the end of the summer. The leaves of the affected trees turn yellow and fall persistently during the summer, often ending with the death of the tree.

While effective treatment of the cottony maple scale can only bo applied in the winter, it is important that all infested trees be marked at this season to be sprayed later. Effective spraying can only be done during the dormant season when the leaves are off the tree. After many experiments we have found that the most satisfactory spray is the lime-sulpher solution which is readily made at home. Take fifty pounds each of lime and sulpher and boll them together for at least one hour. Then add enough water to make a complete solution of about 150 gallons. This should be used while still warm. The lime must be lime and must be of good quality. Alwayp strain the solution carefully before putting it in the spray tank as it will otherwise clog the nozzles. Get ready to celebrate the Fourth by buying cool, comfortable footwear at our exclusive shoe store. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block.

July Horse Sale Will Be Wednesday Following the Fourth.

The next horse sale will take place July 6th. It is believed that buyers for all classes of horses will be on hand for this sale and it will pay those having horses for sale to bring them in for this sale. The buyers have been coming to Monticello the first Tuesday in each month for years and they come from there here. June started on Wednesday and the Monticello sale was not until the 7th, and therefore there were not many buyers here on the day of the sale. This time, however, the Rensselaer sale is the day following the Monticello sale and the buyers will be at both piaces.
