Entered January 1, 1807, as eeeond-olaea mall matter, at the post-offloe at Beneeelaer, under the act of March 3, 1879.

Several people who went to Chicago Sunday journeyed out to the old Hawthorne race track and saw the airship demonstration. While the start which one of the ships made to New York did not prove satisfactory to the aviators, owing to the fact that the pilot, Eugene Ely, was forced to descend when only about 9 miles from the starting point, owing to a clogged carbureter to the engine and a resultant mishap, from the spectators’ standpoint the demonstrations were'entirely successful. Three of the biplanes of the Curtiss manufacture figured In the events. One was driven by Williard and another by McCurdy. The latter made only a short flight, but Williard made two flights and soared-about in the sky like a buzzard, having perfect control of the machine. Ely led off with a trial flight which was very successful and when he started off a second time he set out directly for New York, hoping to reach South Bend before nightfall. The start was made shortly after 4 o’clock. He rose to a height of about 1,500 feet before he had gone a great distance and within 10 minutes the machine was out of sight. When it faded from view the machine was well in the sky and apparently moving at the rate of a mile a minute: But the trouble must have ensued at about this time, for the morning papers related that the aviator was forced to descend owing to trouble with the feed of gasoline for the engine. This was adjusted in about three minutes but when Ely went to ascend again the machine collided with a small rock, breaking off the front wheel and making it impractlble to continue the flight that night. He telephoned for aid and expected to continue the trip this Monday morning. He says that he will fly to New York if it takes a month. Apparently the aviators have perfect control of the machines and the flights were marvelous and awe-inspiring.

High School Lost First Football Game to Watseka.

Watseka proved too much for Rensselaer high school Saturday and the Illinois visitors went home with a very nice victory, the score being 14 to 0. The local team was not in the best physical condition. This was the first game played under the new rules and they averaged less in weight and years than the visitors. Coupled with this was the very plain fact that the Watseka boys were well on to the new rules jfhd had been in practice longer than the local lads, and also played two previous games. The Rensselaer boys played gamely, however, but confined themselves too much to tactics that had proven successful before the change in rules, and these were not consequental of good results. Watseka made a drop kick a few minutes after the ball was put into play, thus scoring 3 points. Before the naif was concluded they had scored two touchdowns and kicked one goal and thus making a total of 14 points. In the second half the Rensselaer boys avoided danger several times by punting the ball into their opponents’ territory, Hemphill being especially strong with his punts. By this means the visitors were prevented from increasing their score. A good sized crowd witnessed the game and Rensselaer enthusiasm was high, but the visitors were too strong for us.

Kippars Start Season With Victory Sunday at the College.

Coach Harry Parker and Captain Hugh Kirk started the athletic football season with a victory, defeating St. Joseph’s college Sunday afternoon at the college by the score of 9 to 3. It was a nice game, the relations between the teams being friendly and the contest was a test of athletic prow ress without any bitterness such as characterized the game last year. The local team outweighed the college boys but was at the disadvantage of not having all been together before and part of them did not even know the signals. Captain Kirk found himself surrounded with a willing team and the game indicated the possibility of a first-class athletic team. No further games have been positively scheduled, although game will probably be played with Bronson Hall, of Notre Dame university, on Thanksgiving day, and several Sunday games intervening if they can be scheduled.

Gillam Township Couple Married In Squire Irwin’s Office Monday.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1910.

Saw Air Ships for First Time at Hawthorne Sunday.

Shortly before noon this Monday morning Squire Irwin performed a wedding ceremony at his office, the principals being Samuel E. Goldsberry and Miss Eva May Wood, both of Gillam township. They will reside on the Goldsberry farm. i - "\ m Augustus Phillips came up from Indianapolis Sunday and spent the day with his father, Simon Phillips, and other relatives. He left on the 11:30 o’clock train that night for Louisville, where his company is playing this week. He is now in perfect health and has entirely recovered from his throat trouble which accounted for his leaving California. His company will come to Chicago about Thanksgiving day and remain there for some time.

Latest Campaign Button

The first campaign button to appear on the lapels of Indiana voters gained immediate popularity, and is now being worn in all parts of the state by militant Republicans. The button bears the picture of Senator Beveridge, and the words, “A Beveridge Volunteer.” There is a large and growing demand for the buttons from every direction, and the Republican state committee is supplying the buttons to meet every call.

Fair Oaks Hunter Fined For Threatening to Shoot Neighbor.

John G. Liggett, the well known Fair Oaks hunter and dog trainer, was brought before Squire Irwin last Friday on several charges growing out of trouble he had had with Joe Brown. Liggett had be'en living in a house owned by Mrs. Margaret Keller, a sister of Mrs. Brown. He had never had any trouble with the landlady nor others about the matter. Recently Mr. Brown began some repairs about the house and one day when Mr. Liggett was up at the Kankakee Mr. Brown fastened the doors shut with a padlock. Mr. Liggett pulled the lock out and took up his abode at the house. Mr. Brown went back the next day to resume work at the house and John and he engaged in an argument that soon caused each to swear. Liggett announced his intention of “licking” Joe and made for him, but Joe had an axe which he raised and threatened to use John then got out a revolver and threatened to shoot and Joe made tracks and got under cover. That was about all there was to it, except that Joe had John arrested. The trial last Friday brought out all the evidence and entertained a small crowd that listened to the testimony. Squire Irwin acquitted the defendant on one charge, fined him $5 and costs for threatening to shoot and the other cases were dismissed on motion of the prosecuting witness, Mr. Brown, who paid the costs amounting to $8.35 in the surety of the peace proceedings. The fine and costs against Liggett amounted to $26.70, which was staid by N. Littlefield.

Ball Fans at Francesville Given Great Time Sunday.

Francesville was all the baseball goods Sunday. Two games were played, the first with Monon and second with Brookston. A lone tally was made off Francesville, one Brookstonite having got around the bases. It was a case of stock up and Francesville carried the best stock. The teams all had a professional appearance and not a Francesville player was good enough to get on the team. John Hannah, of Watseka, was the catcher. The pitchers were imported from Class C leagues and the combined team was about the best that ever got together in this neck of the woods. On the Francesville team were such players as French, of the Chicago White Sox; Dugan Zellers, of Wlnamac; Crandall, of Wadena; Martindale, Daniels and others. Irwin, the old favorite, was in the box for Monon, and the “profesh” bunch took kindly to his shoots and shoved them all over the lot. When the curtain dropped Francesville had 10 scores and Monon none. In the second Francesville got 14 and Brookston 1. The gate receipts were about $125. Considerable money changed hands on the Monon game. Francesville is said to be about $l5O ahead on the season.

Football Results In Which Rensselaer Had an Interest.

Rensselaer people were principally interested In the results of the Cltfea-go-Indiana and Purdue-Wabash games of football last Saturday. In the former Indiana University defeated Chicago 6 to 0, the first time Indiana has ever won from Chicago, although they have played for ten years consecutively. Wabash, of which Ray Hopkins is the captain, defeated Purdue by the score of 3 to 0. /This was good news because of the fact that the captain lives here. Rensselaer has a number of students at Purdue and usually wants Purdue to win, hut every one was pulling for Fat and his "Little Giants.’’

Make this the greatest Sunday school convention ever held in Rensselaer, by being there yourself. . ■ ... .i . mmmn-'.-r.X Some of the real farmers complain that the average city agriculturist doesn’t know a corn on the toe from corn, in the ear.

Fishermen May Have to Take Out License.

Fish poisoning In Indiana because of the dumping of city sewerage and factory refuse into the streams and lakes of the state bears promise of coming to an early end through a movement now under way to have the fishermen take out a license for fishing privileges, just as the sportsman who carries a gun Is required to take out a hunter’s license. For several years the state board of health has been fighting the dumping of sewage and refuse into the streams, and has met with only partial success, chiefly because the department was short of funds and was not able to collect and present properly the evidence required to put a stop to the objectionable practice. George W. Miles, recently appointed state fish and game commissioner, will go before the next session of the general assembly and seek to have enacted a law providing that the fisherman shall procure a license, to cost $1 a year. The proceeds of these license fees will be used for a two-fold purpose—to replenish the fish In the lakes end streams, and to combat the dumping of sewage and refuse into waters where the state is seeking to propagate fish. In addition to raising the money in this way for this purpose, the commissioner hopes to arouse public interest in the fight for pure streams, on the theory that whatever a man is compelled to pay for he will be most likely to conserve. The conditions of the proposed license have not yet beep determined on, but it is understood that the hunter’s license, as now issued, will constitute a license to fish in streams and lakes of the state, and that no license will be required for a resident who does not go outside his own township to engage in the sport. These are details which the commissioner has left for later consideration. In the last seven months reports received at the office of the fish and game commissioner indicate that millions of fish, ranging in weight front one-half pound to three and four poutMjs were killed following freshets which carried the pollutions from sewage pools in the lakes and streams into the waters where the fish were living. The sewage lying in a pool, through putrefaction, generates carbonic acid gas, and when a fish enters waters so charged, it gives a gasp or two, goes to the top and floats away lifeless. The city of Indianapolis empties its sewage into White river, and from the city south as far as ten miles or more, there are no fish to make angling worth while. Below that distance the stream abounds in good catches. Recently a freshet carried to two or three times the usual distance the contents of the sewage beds in the stream, and for days the dead fish dotted the surface of the rivers. It is only by compelling the cities now emptying their sewage into the streams to construct means of destroying the sewage, and by compelling the manufacturers to destroy the waste they produce that sport with the rod and reel can be assured for Indiana sportsmen in the future, the commissioner holds.
