During prayer meeting Wednesday evening the Baptist church building was discovered to be on fire above the ceiling around the flue. Before the fire alarm was turned in the audience succeeded in extiniuishing the blaze and the order was countermanded. The damage is not over $5. Mrs. J. W. Marion, of Gillam township, received a shower of postal cards a few days since from friends in Covington, Ohio, where Mr. and Mrs. Marion spent two years, returning recently. She made many friends while there and they remembered her by sending postal cards of which she received 81. It was a very pleasant Thanksgiving to be thus reminded of absent ffiends. About fifty couples attended the dance given by the Rensselaer Social Club at the armory Thanksgiving evening. The music by Healy Bros, was very satisfactory to all and the dance was an extremely pleasant one and participated in by many of the young people who were home from colleges and by visitors. The dancing spirit among the young seems to have been revived considerably this fall and it is probable that a number of pleasant hops will be held during the winter months. r p Benjamin thinks that the old saying, “there is honor among thieves” is true. Yest erday during the absence of the family from home someone entered his residence and stole his coat, which contained a bill book with private papers of value to no one except the owner, and a pair of spectacles. This morning Mr. Benjamin found the stolen property under the seat of his delivery wagon. The papers had been examined and when the thief found they were of no value to him. he left them where the owner could find them. _ TT-vine made arrangements whereby we can buy Gold Medal flour at the car load rate, we are prepared to sell vou the best flour on earth as cheaply as any other high grade flour cneapiy ug a trlal is sold.

Found Curtis High\School Easy and Won by Score of 29 to 3 With Large Crowd at Game. A S9O crowd saw the Thanksgiving football game at Riverside Athletic park and witnessed the locals demonstrate their superiority over Curtis high school of Chicago. Rensselaer was determined to win and started out at a fierce gait, making three touchdowns within the first quarter. After that they slowed down considerably and the final score was Rensselaer 29; Curtis 3. The game started at 2:30 o’clock. Parks kicked out to Goble who returned to the 40 yard line. Curtis started out with a fumble and then punted the ball outside the side lines. Rensselaer was unsuccessful in an attempt at a forward pass but Porter carried the ball for about 15 yards and after Parks had failed to make a gain, Smith, who was playing left half, broke through centei, shook off several Curtis players, and went 35 yards for a touchdown. Parks failed to kick goal. Park? kicked off again and Curtis returned the ball 25 yards. They then tried for a fortvard pass but Kensselaer got the ball and Porter hit the line for 8 yards, then for 2 yards and then for 25 and a touchdown. Parks kicked goal and the score was Rensselaer 11; Curtis 0. , After the next kickoff Curtis was forced to kick on the third down. Rensselaer secured the ball and Colvert, Duvall and Parks carried the ball for another touchdown, Parks making a run of 35 yards. Curtis then kicked off and Robinson returned the ball 20 yards. Porter then made a first down on two attempts. Rensselaer then lost 15 yards on penalty after Parks had made 11 around the end and when a forward pass failed Rensselaer punted and Curtis made no gain. Curtis returned the punt and Parks was downed in his tracks and the first quarter ended. The second quarter started out with an exchange of punts and Smith changed the variety with a 25 yard run around the right end. A short punt followed and the ball went over the line and a Curtis player undertook to run out with the ball and was downed behind the lihe, which added 2 scores by the “safety” route, making the score 18 to 0. The ball was put in play by a scrimmage at the 25 yard line, but Curtis essayed another forward pass and again failed and Colvert tried a drop kick and failed. Curtis kicked from the 25 yard line and Colvert carried the ball back 30 yards. Smith made some good gains and Porter made 20 yards and Rensselaer would have made another touchdown but the timekeepers announced the end of the half. In the last quarter Smith made a 22 yard gain and Porter on a fake play made 12 yards and a touchdown. After Smith made 25 yards a forward pass attempt failed and Curtis got the ball and almost repeated the trick pulled off by Austin two weeks ago, but Porter stopped the player just in time. A little later, with the ball in possession of Curtis, and the lined up for a scrimmage on the 30 yard line, Leviton, the visitors’ left end,—made a drop kick that sailed directly between the goal posts and counted 3 points for the visitors. It was the only score they made, but it was one of the prettiest plays ever seen on the local gridiron and was an unusually fine drop kick of 35 yards. Inspired by this showing Rensselaer sailed in for another touchdown and Colvert made it with a final lunge through center for ten yards. The final score was Rensselaer 29; Curtis 3. The line-up and summary: Curtis Rensselaer Passmore, c Beam Gobel 1 g McCarthy Bronson r t Hemphill Studer r g Miller, Moore Schroeder r e Duvall Leviton 1 e Robinson Pick q Colvert Smith r h Parks Chadwick 1 h Smith DeKoker f b Porter Huston 1 t Ellis Touchdowns—Porter 2, Smitfh Colvert, Parks.

It was quite an eventful day in the Maxwell family as two children of S. B. Maxwell were married, the daughter, Miss Lena, being married at noon, and the ceremony being performed by her brother, Rev. Walter Maxwell, a young Christian minister; It was the first ceremony he had ever performed. At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, Rev. Walter was himself married, and his sister to some! extent recompensed for his services at noon, by standing up as the bridesmaid, while her husband acted as best man. The two weddings coupled with a big Thanksgiving dinner, made a busy and pleasant day.

Murdered His Father Because He Was Required to Pay Board.

Benjamin Smith, of near Muncie, killed his aged father by beating him to death one day last week and then threw the body into an abandoned well. Ben was a wilful and worthless boy of the “tin horn” sport variety. He wore good clothes ' and went about with girls, -but would not work. His father had demanded that he pay $2 a week board and a quarrel ensued. He later wrote to his father that he was going to be married and bring his wife home to live. His father remonstrated with him, saying he was not able to support a wife. The son killed the father and then claimed that he had himself been issaulted by another man who had co a - mitted the deed. But when placed through a sweating process by the police he confessed the crime. His father was 68 years of age and a good citizen. The young man’s deed was the culmination of a life spent in idleness and bad company. He was ento marry an estimable young lady of Muncie, whom he had succeeded in deceiving.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to extend to our many neighbors and friends our heartfelt thanks for their kindness in helping us in our sad bereavement of our dear wife and mother. Although our hearts are sad with grief it is a great consolation to us to know that we have so many friends to sympathize with us. J. P. Simons and Children. Ray Hopkins came home from Crawfordsville yesterday for a short visit at home. Wabash college started off nicely in a football way this year, and after defeating Purdue, went to St. Louis, where they had the misfortune to have Wilson, star left half back, killed. This put a finish to football at Wabash college and in the Crawfordsville high school this year. ■Hopkins was the captain and was making a great success with the team. It is probable that they will get back at the game again next year. The successful campaign of Eugene N. Foss, the democratic candidate for governor of Massachusets at last week’s election, cost him $37,000, according to his sworn return filed in Boston. This is $20,000 more than was expended by Governor Eben S. Draper, who was defeated.
