Things have come to a pretty pass when officers can go snooping around the bedrooms to find out how many people are under the covers. Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Overton, after a visit with Rensselaer friends and relatives last week, went to Lake Maxinkuckee in their automobile last Thursday* At that point they were to join friends from Tuscola, 111., their home, and take a ten days’ opting.

Wabash was the first county to vote under the option law and went dry by a majority of 897.

Brusnahan was down from Union township Saturday and states that the farmers in his section are about all talking about sowing wheat for the ensuing year. The success of the past two crops and especially of this year indicates that Jasper county soil is adapted to wheat growing and that all the risk that is taken is whether we get enough snow to protect it during the winter months. There will probably be almost twice the wheat acreage In Jasper coUpty this year that there was last.

WRENS GET FOUR RUNS AND DONAVIN BUT ONE.

Pitching Battle With Light Hitting In Which Wrens Proved Best In Pinch And Were Victorious. Sunday’s ball game with Donavin, 111., was the best, of the season and the Wrens were victorious by the score of 4 to 1. Vincent Lakey, of Chicago, made his first debut in a Wren uniform and won the hearts of the fans as well as the game by the cleverest box work seen on the diamond this year. He is a first cousin of Johnny Hanks, last year’s favorite, looks like Johnny smiles like Johnny, is a southpaw like Johnny and takes victory as modestly as his cousin, who was the whole bakery while occupying the center mound for the Wrens last year. Lakey allowed only six hits and with the exception of the third whpn two occurred, there were not more than one in an inning. The visitors scored their' lone run in that frame. Johnson struck out, Swartzell made' an error that let Gyer land safely on first and Crosier hit safely. Gyer hit trying to stretch himself around to third, but a quick return by Jess Wilcox caught him at third. Crosier, however, went to second on the play and when Markley hit safely went home. Markley was nipped at second a moment later when he tried to pilfer. That was all for the visitors as they could get no farther than second and that far only twice. The birds did all their scoring in the fourth inning, chiefly on errors. Elmer Wilcox, first up, led off with a single. Lakey put a slow grounder to the pitcher, who had his fingers crossed and while trying to decide whether to throw it to first or second, let both men land safely. Jess Wilcox then struck out; Elder was safe on an error of R. Foster, at second, and Wilcox crossed the pan. Swartzell put a fly to center field and was out and Morgan, who is somewhat of a pinch hitter, lately, drove one safely to right field and Lakey and Elder both scored. Morgan was playing in the roll of a highwayman and after stealing second and third, he took a big lead off third, drawing a throw and then went home when the juggling got wild and the catcher made a poor throw. Malone struck out, closing the inning; the scoring and leaving the fans breathing easily. McLain was not feeling well and Elmer Wilcox was at the receiving end and caught a faultless game. He also got two hits, one of them a twostationed affair: that threatened for a time to break into another run. In the sixth the Wrens crowded the bases but nothing came of it. Jess Wilcox hit safely. Elder was hit by a pitched ball, Swartzell hit safely and although Morgan sent out a fly to right, Wilcox did not score. Malone then struck out and Kevin flew out to left. The ball game was what would be called a hummer almost any place. It was spirited, clean and at times brilliant. The pitchers worked like their lives depended on it, and the crowd warmed up to the new Wren slap artist and gave him all the support that comes of confidence. An effort will be made to have him finish the season with the locals. / The summary: Donavin R H PO A E Gyer, cf 0 1 3 0 0 Crosier, Ist 1 3 8 0 0 Markley, c 0 1 8 0 2 Larson, p 0 1 0 9 1 R.

RECORD CROWD VISITS FOUNTAIN PARK SUNDAY.

Over Four Thousand People Attended Assembly and Enjoyed Good Sermon and Entertainment. Sunday was a great day at Fountain Park. There weye more than 4.000 paid admissions, the greatest number that the association ever had. By actual count thA’e were 204 automobiles in the park, being about a quarter of a million dollars wprth of machines. They came from near and far and they arrived early. There were more than five hundred at the. Sunday school at 9:30 and the service was a very profitable one. Dr. C, E. Fiske, who has been the platform manager since the assembly his service Sunday and was succeeded by Dr. H. H. Peters, who is the secretary of Eureka college, and who was on the grounds Sunday and created a very favorable impression, so that all feel that he will ably fill the position to which Dr. Fiske gave such untiring attention. Following the Sunday school, the Lord’s supper was served and participated in by about 1,000. Dr. Fiske then delivered his farewell sermon. At 2 o’clock there was music and reading, followed by a lecture by Dr. E. J. Sias, who held the closest attention to the great audience. At 3:30 the Midland Jubilee Singers gave a concert and it was enjoyed by all, being pronounced the best number of its kind ever at the park. In the evening the music, reading and singing program was repeated with a change of numbers. It was a great, big, good-natured throng and the officers of the association were busy looking after the welfare of the guests. Commencing today Dr. Peters will lecture each afternoon, except Thursday, when his lecture will take place in the morning. The Hite moving pictures will be one of the attractions Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday, Prof. Edward Reno, the magician, will give an evening performance, with his “rapid fire” magic. He is regarded as one of the leading prestidigitators in the .world today. Thursday will be the next big day, being called “old settlers’ day.” Governor Hock, of Kansas, will give an address In the afternoon at 3 4 o’clock, and he should be a great attraction if there was nothing else, but the association officers have crowded the day with things certain to please and it is hoped that the old citizens of Jasper and adjoining counties will lay aside their work for that day and visit the park, participating in a great big reunion. The Rensselaer band will be there, and music will begin at 10:10 in the morning. This will be followed by Dr. Peters’ lecture. At 2:15 there will be a band concert, followed by reading by Miss Jeanette Kling. Then comes the address by Governor Hock. Kansas oratory has a ring that is all its own and it is certain that none who hear Mr. Hock will have any regret, while a day at the park is elevating, instructive and you are certain to meet many old friends from all over this section of Indiana. In the evening Miss Kling will again give several numbers, the band ‘will give another concert and Chas. R. Taggart, “The Man from Vermont,” will give an entertainment. The assembly will close with next Sunday.

Was Tending to Her Business In Protecting Inebriate Husband.

Monticello Democrat. A shoemaker over at Winamac strpek a woman over the eye with a shoe one evening last week because she had come to his shop and accused him of running a blind tiger and selling h'er husband whisky. The shoemaker was arrested and fined $25 and costs, amounting to $35.10. The fine was a fairly stiff one, but not yet large enough for a brute of a man who will strike a woman—and yet there were some people in Winamac—as everywhere else—who took the part of the accused blind tiger keeper and paid the woman should have staid at home and “attended to her own business.”

“LAD AND LASSIE” MARRIED AT ST. JOE, MICH., SUNDAY.

Gladys Beam and Dean Merica Outwit Parents and Plight Troths While On a Sunday Excursion. No greater surprise has occurred in Rensselaer in many months than that occasioned this Monday morning when a telegram reached W. H. Beam, agent of the Monon railroad, informing him that his youngest daughter, Gladys, had been married at St. Joe, Mich., Sunday afternoon to Mr. Dean Merica, a member of the 1910 class of the Rensselaer high school. Gladys was 16 years of age in April; Dean is two years her senior. The bride was expected by her parents to complete the course in the Rensselaer high school and would have entered the sophmore class the beginning of the fall term. Dean was to have been placed in Eureka college, at Eureka, 111., where he has an uncle who is a member of the faculty and where his father desired that he should take a couse in chemistry. The plans of the parents have gone awry and it is probable that the young people will return here, receive the forgiveness and blessings of their parents and settle down to the joys and trials of married life. Mr. Merica is the son of a well known and well-to-do Francesville citizen, and after attending the high school at Francesville for three years he came .here for his final year. He l was a diligent student, a popular young man and of uncommon industry. During the school term he worked nights at the Princess as a musician, also on Saturday at the cream station and immediately after his graduation he took regular employment at the creamery. The case between himself and bride is of several months duration and while they were much in the company of each other the present outcome was not suspicioned by either the parents or friends. Last week Gladys appealed to her mother for the privilege of going on a visit to Reynolds, but the consent was not forthcoming as it had been learned that Dean was objecting to taking the college course planned by his father and also that he would probably accompany Gladys to Reynolds. Sunday she wanted to go to Chicago on the excursion but this also was denied her. Then she sought and was given consent to spend the day with, Miss Ocie Wood, at Parr. During the morning a friend asked Miss Madge Beam, sister of Gladys, where the latter was, and when informed that she was at Parr, asked if she was certain. When Madge related the circumstances to her mother they decided to call the Wood residence by phone and find out whether Gladys was there or not. When informed that she was not but that she had passed through Parr on the milk train in company with Dean Merica there tvere immediate suspicions as to what might take place. They did not return in the evening but the next morning a telegram came, informing the parents of the bride that they had been Carried. They are expected back some time today, Mon-, day. Both bride and groom are highly regarded by all who know them, having an especially large circle of Triends. The, groom is a promising young man and while the youthfulness of the young couple seemed sufficient * barrier to their marriage, It was the only objection and now that the act has been consummated the parents will probably make the best of it and assist in establishing the young coupie in a home.

Chilly Weather On Way, Say Official Forecaster.

Chilly weather is on its way, according to the general forecast for the present week, issued by Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau at Washington. The chilly wa/e will begin its sweep across the country the middle of the week, starting from the Northwestern states and reaching the Atlantic coast by Friday or Saturday. Its appearance will be rendered the more disagreeable by reason of the fact that it will be proceeded by moderately warm weather, so that the drop in temperature will be the more severely felt.
