In nice fruits and vegetables the Home Grocery always leads. They make a study of this phase of the business, which insures the very best, at low prices. Another song by Mr. Lonzo Healy was well received at the Princess Saturday night. It was entitled “Imagination in Hobo Land.” It was sung by Mr. Roscoe Wilson. We now have our car of fancy Michigan sand grown potatoes on track. 70c a bushel from car in two-bushel sacks. 75c a bushel from store. JOHN EGER. Why pay unreasonable profits on your new Fall Suit or Overcoat when you can get Kuppenheimer clothing in our men’s section at less prices than you pay elsewhere for inferior makes. The Big Corner Department Store, Rowles & Parker.

The fine fall weather continues unabated. It is too warm, however, for anything except comfort, and the clothing and drygoods dealers and milliners are hoping for cold weather. The coal dealers are also getting a bit anxious. Yesterday and today have been like August days.

Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Ramey have decided to leave Lafayette and come back to Jasper county and have rented a farm owned by Joe Halligan, near Surrey, to which they will remove this week. They have been visiting in Rensselaer and went to Lafayette this morning to get their household goods. Mrs. Ramey and her mother, Mrs. James Donnell visited last week with Mrs. Alonzo Rushton, in Sheridan.

Saturday was one of the best business days Rensselaer has had for a long time. There was a great crowd in town, many having come with the intention of attendirig the dog and pony show. They were disappointed, especially the boys and girls and several loads of quite dejected looking children went homeward in the evening. The crowd proved liberal buyers of staple articles and all the stores in Rensselaer shared in the liberal trading of the day.

Rev. M. R. Paradis, who was a Presbyterian pastor in Rensselaer some years ago, visited old friends here over Sunday. He and Mrs. Paradis had just returned from a, trip to Nova Scotia.

The wagon was equipped with a spring bed and other conveniences' and Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood were thoroughly enjoying the trip. They are native Missourians and have lived in Lake county for the past four years.

The marriage vow should be so Bacred that nothing could swerve the determination of the parties to it from fulfilling its conditions with a life of untiring devotion, iso constant that interference from outside, even though it comes from near relatives or even parents, would be resented with such positive means as to leave no doubt about the loyalty it expressed. Young people need a good leaving alone in their marital relations and any steps to cause separation or trouble constitute a crime so shameful as to cause the righteous criticism of the public. “Those Whom God Hath Joined Together, Let Not Man Put Asunder/’ Correct mistakes before it is too late.

SENATOR DOLLIVER, OF IOWA, DIED SATURDAY NIGHT.

Lender of Progressive Element in Republican Party Yictim of Heart Failure at Fort Dodge. Johnathan P. Dolliver, of lowa, died Saturday night at 8 o’clock at his home in Fort Dodge, lowa, after a sickness that confined him to his home for about a week. He had been in failing health for a year and a half, although appearing very strong and vigorous. He was in his 53rd year. When 31 years of age he was elected to congress. For twenty years he has been in congress, being elected to the senate after many years in the lower house.

Senator Dolliver spoke at Fountain Park at the assembly this summer and his speech was reported at some length in the Republican. Senator Dolliver was a self-made man and one of the brightest and most , universally admired of all public men. He was called the “father of insurgency,” and was a leader in that class of progressive thought that objected to all manner of corruption. He was not an insurgent with the hope of gratifying personal ambition. He was honest and would not blink at dishonesty; he was clean in his life and sought to better the world he lived in; he believed in leadership and sought to direct those who followed him in the right course. His death will be a severe blow to his state and to the nation. Kind and determined, cautious and energetic, fearless and willing to fight for the right, he endeared himself to his constituency* and made a name for himself wider than the nation, and his death will be a loss to the world, because the world is interested in the principles he advocated and needed such courageous champions.

Two Largely Attended Funerals Were Held In Rensselaer Sunday.

He was a member of the Wheatfield Knights of Pythias lodge and' about fifty members of the local lodge of that order attended the services and conducted a short service qt the grave.

“Shorty” Adams Off Again and Wanted to Shave Jail Companion.

Ben Page got his money’s worth while serving out his sentence at the county jail for intoxication. “Shorty” Adams, who had apparently been entirely rational for several days, was given the freedom of the big room in the jail quarters and not confined in a cell. Ben was also placed in the big room and for a short time he and “Shorty” got along all right, but Saturday evening the latter broke out in another insane spell and kicked out a window light and getting a piece of glass he informed Ben that he was engaged in the barbershop and was going to shave him. Ben said the Parr barber suited him but “Shorty” said he would shave him once any way and he started after Ben. The latter was kept busy for some time dodging “Shorty” who brandished the glass and made after his jail companion. The narrow corridors of the jail did not give Ben much chance to demonstrate his foot racing qualities but he went a lot faster than he would have been able to on Friday afternoon when he was first brought in by Deputy Robinson, and he was able to elude the pseudo-barber until the sheriff, attracted by the noise, made his appearance and opened the big door. Ben shot through it like a bat from a belfrey. He was admitted to another part of the jail but “Shorty” carried on his ravings all night and about all day Sunday. This morning he is about rational again... Page’thought the last chapter of his life was about to close when “Shorty” took after him and he is mighty well pleased at the timely arrival of the sheriff. He was released Sunday morning and returned to Parr. W. L. Wood arranged for his release by guaranteeing his fine.

Fine Strawberries Grown in Indiana An October Novelty.

Mrs. T. W. Haus received four boxes of strawberries Saturday sent to her from Westville by her sister, Mrs, William H. Reynolds. They were grown in the Reynolds strawberry patch and are as sweet and delicious as any berries ever grown. It is a second crop for the season grown in the open and with no special attention. Mrs. Reynolds was surprised upon visiting the strawberry patch a week ago Sunday to find it filled with berries and she picked four quarts. The vines were free from blight and they were about as fine berries as wq ever saw marketed here in the berry season.

Rensselaer People Take Auto Trip to “Shades of Death.”

Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Warner and daughter Helen, Miss Edith Shedd and S TJ E. Sparling, in the latter’s automobile went to Lafayette last Friday evening, where they were Joined Saturday by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hopkins and Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Thompson and son Thomas, and together they autoed through Crawfordsvllle to the “Shades of Death” in Montgomery county. The place derives its name from the wild appearance of the country along Sugar Creek, where some of the most beautiful scenery in Indiana can be found. Saturday night was spent at Veedersburg and the trip home was made via Covington, Ind., and Danville and Hoopeston, 111. The trip was a fine one and the season of the year makes it very pleasant for auto travel.

Some Pumpkin Growers In Northern Jasper County Also.

P. Peterson, of Chicago, writes to let us know that while John King may be some pumpkin grower he is not the only nor the biggest pumpkin grower in Jasper county. Mr. Peterson conducts a restaurant at 616 West Randolph street, in Chicago, and in the window of his restaurant has on exhibition two pumpkins, weighing respectively 68 and 65 pounds. They were grown by Mr. Dertien, of Keener township, Jasper county. This beats the three - pumpkins raised by Mr. King, which had a combined weight of 146 pounds. Let others who have grown big pumpkins put in their claims.

Northern Jasper county is evidently contesting all agricultrual honors with the balance of the county this year, A great crop of wheat was grown there, the corn prospect is the finest ever, and other crops are also Just as good as any place in the county or the state. Dairying' is an important pursuit, especially in Keener township, and pickles and cabbage are also great revenue producers there. So, it will be seen that Keener township and northern Jasper county are “some pumpkins” in all agricultural pursuits.
