Lowell to Play the Wrens At Riverside Park Next Sunday.

The Wrens will have Lowell for theif opponents next Sunday at Riverside park. The flunking with Brook Sunday was a very deplorable occurrence, but practically unavoidable so far as the manager was concerned. That Rensselaer owes Brook more than an apology is certain and It is hoped to square the thing in some acceptable and sportsmanlike manner. It would have been better had nine men that never saw a ball gone over and put up some sort of a contest than to have “fluked” absolutely. It is expected that the Wrens will come in for a great roast when Orie Bumblebee comes out with his weekly jokesheet and whatever he says, everyone is going to laugh at, no matter how coarse it is. J Lowell is a great ball town and a great athletic favorite with Rensselaer. For years they have tried to beat us at football but they can’t do it, and for years we have tried to beat them at baseball with the same diannuraging results. This year we are going to try to turn the tide, but the fledglings realize that they have got to go some. That gallant old warrior, Minus Irwin, is in the box for the up-staters, and he has been handing out the whitewash to a lot of ambitious teams this year. Irwin is popular here, too, and it was he who went to Oxford last year and finished the game for the Wrens when Hanks blew up. The attraction for next Sunday looks to be the best of the season, thus far, and Riverside park should, have the largest crowd of the season, probably augmented by a number of Lowellites, including a few former Rensselaereans. now chasing the elusive dollar in Lake county

Brook Man Claims to Have Lost Money in Chicago Club.

According to the Indianapolis Star, Mayberry Kibler, of Brook, who is charged with an effort to evade the payment of taxes on >6,000 in cash, puts up a novel defense. In 1908 and 1909 Kibler paid the taxes without a murmer and this year he did not enter the cash and when the assessor did and the county board of tax review failed to relieve him of the charge, he appeared before the state board of tax commissioners Monday and stated that he did not have the money but had lost li playing poker in a Chicago club. The board is trying to determine whether or not Mayberry Kibler is a Juneberry kidder and will ask Newton county to investigate and find out whether the money was lost before or after March Ist. It is tough luck to lose the coin in Chicago and then, have to go to Indianapolis to prove it.

Gallion Will Be Ousted If Guilty of Deserting Child.

The Indianapolis star says that George W. Mlles, state game and fish commissioner, has stated that Albert M. Gallion, the deputy arrested in Rensselaer on requisition from Ohio, will be discharged from office if it is proven that he is guilty of desertion o* UJs wife and child. R. D. Fleming, the chief deputy, who was here from Ft. Wayne and expressed himself as displeased with the manner in which Gallion and Donley had proceeded against Haynes, stated that he would call the attention of Mr. Miles to the report of Gallion’s alleged desertion and recommend such action if the charge was proven.

Supposed Insane Man Writes Intelligent Letter to Clerk.

W. H. Kearney, the mysterious man confined at the county jail, continues to mystify the sheriff of Jasper county and others who have interested themselves in the case. After refusing to talk for many days and taking no nourishment for ten days, he seems to have been entirely aroused by the pint of milk which the jail physician and four helpers managed to get down his throat by means of a tube. He has since eaten three square meals a day and now talks freely about himself and is anxious to be set at liberty. He inquired of the sheriff Monday what chances there were of getting out and was informed that the authorities of Newton county had made application to have him sent to the insane asylum and that perhaps he might forestall the action by writing a letter to Reuben Hess, the clerk of Newton county He was furnished with paper and a pencil and wrote a 'well-worded and thoroughly rational letter, stating that he was now all right and wished to be released in order to permit him to work his way to Buffalo, N. Y., where he says his father lives. The writing was legible, indicated that the man frequently handled a pencil and the letter, aside from a few mispelled words, which may have been intentional, was a very able epistle. It is probable that Kearney will be released from the jail ;n a few days. The., mystery surrounding him really deepens as his faculties are resto.ea.

Modern Woodmen Have Fine Time at Wheatfield Monday Night.

Fifteen members of the' Modern Woodmen of America went from Rensselaer to Wheatfield Monday afternoon and partook of Woodmen hospitality in that town.

Twenty new members were taken into the Woodman camp in Wheatfield, the work being done by the Rensselae? team. Following the initiation a big spread was served, about 140 sitting at the banquet, which was so bounteous as to show that the people of the north end are not greatly concerned about the high cost of living. Woodmen from Medaryville, Shelby, North Judson. San Pierre and Hebron were guests of the Wheatfield camp and a fine session in woodcraft was the result.

Live Tarantula Found in New Bunch of Bananas at Haus’.

When Forest Morlan opened up a bunch of bananas at Haus’ restuarant Monday he saw a swift moving little animal and, upon investigation decided that it was a tarantula, the spider that is so much dreaded and popularly supposed to be very poisonous. Forest succeeded in capturing me varmint and has it on exhibition in the restaurant window. An egg bag was also found and it is proposed to keep it until the young ones hatch and offer the captive-to the high school. While the general supposition that tarantulas are venemous may not be correct, there are none here who care to handle them without taking precautions against being bitten.

John W. Burns, formerly city attorney of Rockport, Ind., has just been arrested, and will have to face several charges of embezzlement, forgery, and obtaining money under false pretenses. Burns cut a wide dash and made a lot of history during the past two osthree years. He is said to be a brilliant young pan, but his habits were irregular and he went the pace that kills. He now stands a chance of serving a long term in the penitentiary. On Juno 2stli he disappeared and one act of dishonesty after another was uncovered, it was thought t bathe would never return to Rockport, but he tired cf roaming about a fugitive and gave himself up. A man rented a house at Lafayette last week, then telephoned to a coal office, telling the manager to send a ton of soft coal and change for a 120 bill. After the coal was delivered the man got the change from the driver, telling him he would go into the house for the bill, but he made his escape out of the rear door. No furniture had been moved into the house.

There are some 2,000 girls in the office and Mr. Pyles’ letter looks like a proposal to all ot them. The letter was received by Chief Clejk Viles a few days ago. It reads: - Hello Census Girls: Hearing so much about your beauty and fine qualities and knowing you must be good workers or else you would not ba holding your jobs, I would like to coorespond with some one of you with the ultimate object of matrimony. I am forty years old and am a natural home body and of mild temperament. I am a farmer by profession and birth and am noted for my gentle disposition. In order that you may have some idea of my personal appearance • 1 might say for your benefit that I am of graceful stature and have brown eyes—considered dreamy—and blond hair which is Inclined to be of the curly kind you read so about in novels. I think I would know how to make a wife happy, and if she knew how to cook, wash, iron and to take a hand in a little farm work I would see that she got lots of fine clothes and a mirror for her own use. I prefer a woman who is between 17 and 30 years old and one who has not been married before and is naturally loving. Trusting to have an early reply from the right party, I remain, Mr. Pyles, Jr., R. F. D. No. 2, Colburn, Ind.

Hock Der Kaiser and His Poetry to Twenty Girls.

Kaiser William, of Germany, was making a trip recently in the imperial yacht, Hohenzollern, and stopped for a pme at Odde. Twenty young German girls who were studying physical culture at Loftus, near Odde, sent a telegraphic request that they be permitted to bring his majesty an offering of fruit and flowers. -To their surprise and delight the Kaiser invited them to tea and they .went, you bet. After they had gone back the Kaiser telegraphed the following quatrain; You who with us your chocolate drank, Fair maidens, one and all, we thank. And wish your lives as sweet may seem As sugared chocolate crowned with cream. This proves the Kaiser a very genial and Sentimental fellow but a very bum poet.
