Some time in August the Valparaiso Messenger noted that it had received a copy of tlie Rensselaer Evening Republican dated for last February, the presumption being that the paper had been lost in the mail. Yesterday we received a copy of the Messenger dated for September 30th, ten days in advance. We can not blame this to the mail service, however, but possibly "Ziipmerman was so wrought up over the Laporte-Valpo ball game last Sunday that he wasn’t paying much attention to a little thing like dates. ’ One of the regular army officers who has been acting as a referee at the army maneuvers at Fort Benjamin Harrison is Major Edwin A. Root, whose boyhood home was in Kentland. He graduated from West Point in 1883 and from the U. S. Infantry and Cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., in 1889.

Princess tonight — ♦ — PICTURES. Old Loves and the New. SONG. Under the Electric Lights, by Roscoe Wilson.

Corporation Lawyer by Practice And a Farmer by Proxy.

Kentland Enterprise. Democratic papers are proclaiming that Mr. Peterson, their candidate for congress, is a farmer. People generally know bow a corporation lawyer farms. That old gag was worn threadbare forty years ago when candidates and public speakers would appear with their trousers jammed down in 'theirboot tops, and with hay seed sprinkled over their clothing in hopes of catching the farmer vote. But it don’t work these days. People care little whether a public officer fs a farmer, lawyer, merchant or whatnot, so long as he delivers the goods. Judge Crumpacker has been tried, and proven true to all classes, and the Democratic effort to prejudice the farmer, the soldier and the labor vote against him will prove fruitless.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1910.

BALL GAMES FOR THE HORSE SHOW LOOK GOOD.

Manager Harmon Reports Having Secured Wadena, Francesvllle and Boswell for Big Days. Wadena, Thursday, Sept. 29th. Francesvllle, Friday, Sept. 30th. Boswell, Saturday, Oct. Ist. This is the program for baseball games during the horse show days -and it looks mighty good. Wadena always plays good ball and now they are especially strong owing to the fact that Crandall, who has been playing ball in the Southern League, is back home and will take part with the local team the balance of the season. Wadena is going to try hard to win the opening day game. Francesvllle is to play Friday and they too will try hard for the defeat of the Wrens. Francesvllle has airways been a good base ball town, but they had laid off to rest up for two or three years and just got started again this year and they are now in good shape and are receiving lots of encouragement and support at home. They will put up a good contest. On Saturday comes the great game of the season. Boswell has a fine team and has lost but few games this year. They are chafing some under the defeat the Wrens administered to them in that extra inning contest at the Goodland horse show and they will come pver here with the hope of retrieving the defeat. The games are run independent of the horse show and an admission of 25 cents will be charged to each game. From the local standpoint the team will be the best that has represented Rensselaer this year. Johnny Hanks, last year’s favorite, affd the boy whom the Wrens started in professional base ball, has promised faithfully to be here. Lakey will also be on hand, as will Kevin, the midget third baseman. McLain has Been gaining in health lately and he hopes to get into these games. If he does he will be at his old post behind the bat. Wilcox, Swartzell, Jensen, Morgan and Elder WiH all be ready for the big games. It will be a carnival of base ball and should draw great crowds.

County Superintendent Lamson Has Milroy Matter Under Advisemet.

County Superintendent Lafhson, to whom was presented a petition Monday for the removal of the Banner school house in Milroy township, and before whom a hearing was held, has been away since Tuesday, having attended a meeting of the county superintendents of the 10th, 12th and 13„th districts held at Warsaw. He has not had an opportunity to give the matter much consideration and will hold it under advisement for a few more days. It is charged by those who opposed the petition for removal that one of the signers had been paid for signing it. The man thus charged was James Nixon. He made a signed statement to Mr. Lamson that he was not influenced by any consideration whatever, but signed the petition with a full conviction that the removal was for the best interest of the school. As previously stated the petition has a bare majority of one. It is not improbable that if all the signatures prove all right and the majority proves to be a fact that the prayer of the petitioners will be answered affirmatively.

Mr. Shipman does not expect to again invest in land. He is getting old and will probably spend most of his time with his children and other relatives. His son-in-law, Everel Smith, of Burk, S.

In that event Mr. Shipman will probably make his headquarters with him. He has lived in Jasper county for many years.

Hugh Galley was in from Gifford Thursday and bought three sacks of flour, 50 pounds each, at Eger’s grocery. .They were for Taylor Hankins, a Gifford storekeeper. Hugh started home at about 3 o’clock and paid no attention to his cargo of flour until he was near Alf Donnelly’s farm residence, north of town, when he looked back and the flour was gone, ditto the endgate of his wagon. He did not return to town that evening but came in this morning and found no trace of his flour. He thinks it was lost out of the wagon, but also thinks some one may have stolen it. Any information will be gladly received by Hugh.
