Chase Day Surprises Friends By Returning Here With a Wife.

Chase V. Day, son of Hiram Day, the contractor, arrived in Rensselaer Saturday afternoon, bringing with him a bride, greatly to the surprise of his friends who had considered him immune from the wiles of the opposite sex. But he was stung by the microbe of love while working in the southern part of the state and was married last Wednesday at Spencer. His bride is Miss Hazel Sims, daughter of James Sims, of Spencer. The marriage took place at Spencer and was performed by Rev. H. J. Hiatt. Chase brought his wife here to make her acquainted with his. family and she will return for the present to hel* home, while he will go to Gary to work at the lathing trade and to prepare a home for them. They have the best wishes of his many friends in

Consistency An Absent Quality In Our Democratic Regulator.

Brother Babcock had several conniption fits about the increased price of shaving, but has so far failed to explain why he has charged 6% cents a quart for milk all summer, ‘during the greater part of which time the dairyman and all private cow owners have been selling it for 5 cents. We regret to thus expose our brother, who seems so horrified at the high price proposition as regards others, but the inconsistency is so very apparent that we regard it a duty to inform the public. .Fifteen cent shaves. Horrors. Six 'and one-fourth cent milk. Very shrewd.

Johnny Hanks.

Fond du Lac defeated Madison in a double header Sunday, 5-3 and 9-1. There -was a shake up, in the batting order and Hanks was moved from first to seventh place. He got one run, 1 three-base hit, 2 put-outs and one assist in the 5-3 game. Saturday he got 3 put-outs.

Dr. English and family, Granville Moody and family, William Washburn and family, and George Ketchum and wife attended camp meeting at Battle Ground Sunday, going via automobile. Bishop Quayle occupied the pulpit in the morning and delivered a very able sermon.

VICTORS COULD NOT BAT; WRENS ROMP AROUND.

West Lafayette Boys and the Sycamore Twins Shut Out, -Whfle Locals Make Eight Tallies. The “Sycamore Twins,” by which name thA Owens boys are known, and one Mike Lenihan, all of -whom have participated in many athletic contests In Rensselaer, usually taking home the short end, got what was coming to them Sunday afternoon. The well known and well-liked Michael from county Killarney, was acting in a managerial role and had charge of second station for the Lafayette “Victors,” who did not capture anything except their dinner tickets and a string of goose eggs. The Owens boys are well known in baseball, football and basketball. They are tall and good natured and stood a lot of kidding, getting back with some remarks that are considered real cunning west of the Wabash. Hassar was in the box for the Wrens and had all that was needed in the way of speed, ctirves and mixtures and he had thA self-styled doing the curveature of the spine stunt from the opening session. During the afternoon he fanned 14, got three assists, allowed but two hits and shut out the aspiring Tippecanoe youths. The first inning looked threatening. Moore was first up and Hassar couldnot locate the plate and presented him with four wide ones. Evans essayed a sacrifice bunt and Thelen followed with the same thing, sending Mobre to third. Mclntosh then landed on one and sent it sailing into center field, but Tull Malone, who was in Wren harness for the first time, spoiled the chances by a nice running catch. Thac was the best showing made by the visitors.

The Wrens started in with three runs in the first inning. Kevin, who had been batting poorly for some time, started off with a double and came home on an infield hit' by McLain, which should have retired Mac, but escaped the umpire's eye, while he was looking after the home plate decision. Mac was thrown out at second a minute later on Wilcox’s infield hit. Hassar struck at three wild ones, but Evans let the third one get away and Hassar was safe on third. Elder went out from second to first and Jess Wilcox brought Elmer and Hassar across the plate with a double. Malone finished the inning by striking out. After Swartzell and Morgan were down in the secorffi, Kevin singled, McLain tripled and Elmer Wilcox doubled and two more scores were added. In the seventh inning with two down, another batting bee took place. McLain led off with a double, Elmer Wilcox singled and Hassar, the batting pitcher, tripled, bringing in his two team mates. In the eighth, Jess Wilco.: was hit with a thrown ball, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on an error by Thelen at short. Of the ten hits made by the Wrens, two were triples and four were doubles. Some batting bee. Hassar was in command of the situation all the way through and he and McLain worked like veterans. Rensselaer presented about the best line-up it has ever had on the field, with the exception of the absence of Jensen, who is out of the game during the absence of B. P. Fendig, his employer. The Wrens should be in shape to play the balance of the season in gooil shape. Next Sunday they will be out of town, playing a return game with Wadena.

Team at Funeral Ran Away But No One Was Injured.

A Mt. Ayr livery team driven by William Haskell, of >lt. Ayr, ran away Sunday afternoon at the funeral of Miss Hayes Gwin. Fortunately there was no one in the buggy and therefore no injury. The buggy overturned and the bed was broken off the running gear. The team was caught near the Wasson farm. The damages will be slight.

TONIGHT’S PROGBAM —* — PICTURES. Our New Minister, a drama. SONG Dear Old Folks, by J. F. Fredericks.

Funeral of Young Lady Was Largely Attended by Friends.

The funeral of Miss Hayes Gwin was held at the home of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Gwin, Sunday afternoon, and it is probable that no funer-* al ever before held in Jasper county was more largely attended by close personal friends. The young lady was a brilliant student, and of so cheerful and sunny disposition that all who knew her, even slightly; held her in the very highest esteem. The funeral cortege consisted of more than one hundred vehicles and extended almost from the home to the Crockett cemetery. Beautiful floral offerings were tenderly laid upon the casket and tears dimmed the eyes of all of the vast throng, bespeaking a sorrow so genuine that it was a silent testimony of her true worth. An obituary is being prepared by friends nnd will be published in the Republican in a later issue.
