George W. Maddox, of Gillam township, was a Rensselaer visitor today. See the Malleable Range this week at our store. E. D. RHOADES & SON. The Depot Grocery is selling fine Michigan potatoes at 15c a peck this week. Mrs. J. W. Loy, of Piqua, Ohio, and Mrs. H. G. Rossiter and children, of Troy, Ohio, left for their home today. Mrs. Loy had been here about six weeks visiting her son, Dr. E. N. Loy, and Mrs. Rossiter and children had been here but a few days. . The Home Grocery has another car of fine Michigan potatoes on track again this week. They were shipped in a fruit car free from frost danger. This will probably be the last chance for so low priced potatoes.

A. G. W. Farmer has the record so far for getting results from Republican classified ads. This morning he called at the Republican office and advertised some white leghorn roosters for sale. He went to his home and found that his wife had sold them during his absence. He got back to the office and substituted .an advertisement for the sale of a second-hand buggy and harness, thus getting two ads for the cost.

All kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, also the best in bottled and canned goods at the Depot Grocqyy.

The firm of Meyers & Secor has closed its doors and is going out of business. Creditors in Chicago are after a settlement. C. G. Spitler has been appointed receiver. Henry Secor, the junior partner, who has been in charge for the past two months, seems to be the “goat” and alleges that he was done out of about S2,O(M by the senior member of the firm, who is in parts unknown. Henry came from Dowogiac, Mich., and left for there today.| He seems to be an honest and well-meaning man, but in knew nothing about the business into which he was inveighed to an investment and could not make it win out. He will probably be in Rensselaer again in a week or two.

CIVIL SUITS SET FOR TRIAL LAST THREE WEEKS.

None of the State Cases Set and Prosecuting Attorney is Absent Owing to Sickness in Family.

ProsecuUng Attorney Fred Longwell, of Brook, nas not in Rensselaer Tuesday morning when cases were called up in order that they might be set for trial, and as a consequence none of the state cases of which there are several, were set for trial. Five of the state cases are against Clinton L. Bader, and are based on an alleged violation of specifications in the construction of bridges by the Winamac Bridge Co. The indictments were returned against Bader last May and nothing has so far been done to bring the cases to trial. The statute says that if state cases are permitted to go over three terms, exclusive of the one at which the indictments were returned, the plaintiff shall be dismissed unless the postponement was caused by the motion of the defendant. Thus, if the ’cases are not set for trial at this term they will go over until January and if not set then they will be dismissed. If that results, the only thing on which Bader can be held is the case on which he was convicted, which stands a chance of being reversed in the supreme court. Mr. Longwell assigned as his cause of absence, sickness in his family. Of the civil cases set for trial the most interesting are probably the Pancoast ditch, which is being fought by Jay Stockton, and the case be-' tween Barney D. Comer and Leslie Alter. In the latter case Judge Hanley ruled himself off the bench, saying that he had heard the case thrashed over and that he thought another judge should hear it. Judge Wasson, of Delphi, was agreed upon. The case of Mrs. Eva Greenlee vs. Mrs. Edna I. Powell will attract some attention. The suit is to recover notes given for the purchase of the Nowels hotel lease and effects, ana since the suit was begun the Powells have vacated the hotel and Mrs. Greenlee has not taken possession. The Condon case will probably attract a number of interested parties from Benton county. The estate is valued at about $40,000 and there are eleven heirs, some of them seeking to set aside the will. The suit of Christian L. Hensler against the Fountain Park Association will probably be a hard fought one and bring a number of people from Remington to the county seat the third Wednesday. Among the out-of-town lawyers here this morning were: William Darroch and T. B. Cunningham, of Kentland; Emery Sellers, of Monticello; Elmore Barce, of Fowler, and Jasper Guy, of Remington. Many of the cases were postponed pending settlements outside and others by mutual agreement of the attorneys. Three divorce cases, viz., Mollie Goodner vs. Harry Goodner, Mary Jane Beasey Gray vs. William Gray, and Belle Marlin vs. Stephen T. Marlin will probably be dismissed The plaintiffs in the Goodner and Gray suits seem to have disappeared, and it is a good riddance to the community. The Marlins have patched up the temporary rent in their matrimonial habitation and Steve says “Those who God has hitched agather let no man put to thunder." Another divorce case is that of Kenoyer vs. Kenoyer, venued here Newton county. It is spoken of in another column. The cases so far set are as follows: Second Week. Monday, Nov. 21st. —Lane vs. St. Louis R. R. Co. et al. Wednesday, Nov. 23rd.—Abner C. Pancoast, petition for public drain. Friday, Nov. 25th.—State of Indiana ex rel B. D.

In all essential matters our relations with other peoples are harmonious with an evergrowing reality of friendliness and depth of recognition of mutual dependence. It is especially to be noted that during the past year great progress has been achieved in the cause of arbitration and the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Now, Therefore, I, William Howard Taft, president of the United States of America, in accordance with the wise custom of the civil magistrate since the first settlement in this land, and with the rule established from the foundation of this government, do appoint Thursday, Nov. 24, 1910, as a Day of National Thanksgiving and Prayer, enjoining the people upon that day to meet in their churches for the praise of Almighty God and to return heartfelt thanks to Him for all His goodness and loving kindness. “In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. “Done at the city of Washington this sth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten, and of the independence of the United States of the one hundred and thirty-fifth. “By the president. = -William H.
