Educational Discussion of Tuberculosis, Illustrated by Many Stereopticon Slides. I • Dr. W. F. King and Inspector Frank W. Tucker will conduct a free lecture along educational lines treating tuberculosis and means of preventing its spread and also relating to the pure food law and disease breeding conditions about dairies and slaughter houses, both illustrated by numerous lantern slides, at the Presbyterian church tonight. The lecture is absolutely free. The public is not only cordially invited, but is urged to turn out and take advantage of the things these state employes have learned that will greatly aid in the public health. The free exhibit in the Williams building, just west of McFarlands grocery store, has attracted much attention and there has been a steady stream of people there each day since the display was made ready Monday evening. Dr. King and Mr. Tucker are each deeply interested in their work and they have been very painstaking in showing all visitors the results of their experiments and no one can visit the room and not feel that he has profited very much by having gone there. The exhibit will be kept here only until 4 o’clock Friday evening, when it will be packed for removal. Dr. King has spent a busy week. He has not only talked to the high school pupils at the school house, thoroughly inspected both the school buildings, helped to instruct all visitors at the exhibit room, attended to the various grades that have attended the exhibit in a body, entertained Mayor Meyers and members of the city council at an" informal gathering in the room Wednesday night, but he has also visited a number of country schools with County Superlntenden. Lamson. Tonight he will deliver the lecture on tuberculosis, Friday morning he will again talk to high school pupils at the school house and later in the day talk to the township trustees. He is expected to deliver some pretty hot shots to the trustees Friday on the condition of some of the school houses he has visited and also about the condition of some of the closets at the school buildings. He describes the condition existing at some of the school houses he visited as being extremely bad. The work has been interesting to Rensselaer people and the visit should promote great good. Don’t forget that it is free; that it is here for your benefit and that you are cordially invited to visit the exhibit any time up to 4 o’clock Friday. The lecture tonight is free. . No collection, no expense of any kind. You will enjoy it,

Witnessed Reburial of White Wife of Famous Indian Chief.

John Bruner, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. Troxell, of DeMotte, who are visiting the family of E. G. Warren in Lawton, Okla., last Sunday went 22 miles by auto to witness the reburial after 40 years of Cynthia Ann Parker, the white wife of the Indian chief Nacona. She was captured when 9 years of age by the. Indians, who treated her so well that she became the wife of Nacona. Years later, after three children had been born to her, she was recaptured by Texas rangers, and her husband died or was killed. Congress appropriated SI,OOO for the removal of the body from the place it was burled 40 years ago in Texas. About S2OO wa&, speqt for the removal and the costly little casket, and the balance will be spent in the erection of a monument. Her son, Chief Quanah Parker, made the chief address to the large gathering at the reburial, speaking first in his native tongue, that of the Comanche Indians, and then repeating his address in broken English. He said he loved his mother and loved the white people, and he encouraged his tribe ta work and become, good citizens. Mr. Bruner sent a long article describing the incident, which drew a large crowd, and John pronounced it “a great sight.”

FARM RESIDENCE OF MRS. J. W. PIERCE BURNS.

Caught Fire From Defective Flue and Burns to the Ground Early Thursday Morning. A six-room house on the farm of Mrs. J. W. Pierce was totally destroyed by fire this Thursday morning. It was located two miles south of Rensselaer and was occupied by J. Frank Osborne and Henry Osbprne. The former had advertised a sale to take place today and the family was busy making arrangements for the sale when, at about 9 o’clock, Mrs. Osborn’ started to go upstairs. She found the entire upper part of the house in flames. The alarm was at once given and theunen succeeded in getting all the things out of the lower part of the house, but everything in the upper part was consumed by the flames. The house was burned to the ground, as was also a smokehouse. The house was one of the oldest houses in this part of the county, having been erected about fifty years ago and was not in very good condition. It is understood that SSOO insurance was carried on it, which will about cover the loss. Mr. Osborne had no insurance on his household goods. Mrs. Osborne w4nt to the Henry Kolhoff farm, nearby, and the men took charge of the sale of the farm stock and equipment, conducting it as advertised. The household goods that were saved will be at once shipped to Texas, to which state the family expect to start next Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Osborne rented a large farm 29 mile's south of Amarillo, Texas, and went there this fall and sowed 160 acres of wheat.

Republican Legislators To Hold Caucus In Indianapolis.

Republican members of the legislature have been called to meet at the Claypool hotel, in Indianapolis, on the afternoon of Tuesday, December 13, to talk over their course of action at the coming session. The call has been sent out by Edwin M. Lee, chairman of the Republican state committee. The letter says the members ought to meet, get acquainted, and reach an understanding as to the plans to be followed at the session. Among other things which will probably be considered at this meeting will be the selection of a floor leader for the Republicans in th? house and one in the senate, although the call does not say anything along that line. There is talk that Senator Edgar Durre, of Evansville, may be chosen floor leader in the senate, and that Representative Mlles J. Furnas, of Winchester, may be made the house floor leader. Republican conference will be held one day previous to the conference of Democratic representatives, which has been called for Wednesday, December 14th, at the Denison hotel.

School Notes.

The girls’ basketball team is to play a game at Wheatfield on Friday evening, Dec. 9th. Edna Babcock has been elected captain, but the rest of the team have not yet been selected. School now takes up at 1:10 P. M., instead of 1:20. By shortening the music period and recess, the pupils are dismissed at 3:40. This change was made because of the increasing difficulty in studying the last period of the day, and will be continued until the days lengthen. The grade teachers and high school girls practiced basketball as usual Monday and Wednesday nights. The Senior German club met Wednesday night at the home of Agnes Platt. Wilma Peyton, Ethel Parker, Agnes Platt, Irene Simpson and Stella Platt were the entertaining committee. The Junior English class is taking up Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The present Senior class believes in forehandedness. Their class pins have already arrived. Dr. King, who is conducting a health exhibit in Rensselaer this week, gave a lecture to the assembled high school Wednesday morning on tuberculosis.

MOORE CASE ARGUED BY MANY ATTORNEYS.

Vincennes Man Who Took Life of Man Who Had Devastated His Home, Will Probably Go Free. The jury that has heard the trial of Menlo E. Moore, of Vincennes, will probably go out before noon today, Thursday. It is generally considered at Vincennes that the jury will bring in a verdict favorable to Moore, possibly on grounds of insanity. Several attorneys for both the state and the defense were chosen to present the argument to the jury. The argument began with Prosecuting Attorney J. Frank Culbertson at 3 c’clock Tuesday afternoon and other attorneys spoke all day Wednesday, and the argument was again taken up this morning. Several physicians testified for the defense on the sanity grounds and. all answered a hypothetical question containing some 1,100 words favorable to the defendant. Evidently he was suffering from “emotional insanity,” although physicians summoned by the state answered the same question negatively, claiming that he was entirely rational when the deed was committed. James S. Pritchett for the state scored Moore in stinging terms, calling him a “dirty little coward.” He pronounced the defendant a “coldblooded assassin,” whom no one had ever seen smile. There have been about a dozen newspaper correspondents attending the trial and from their articles there seems little doubt but that the jury .Fill acquit Moore, and the News correspondent says if they don’t it will be on account of one or two stubborn jurors. The best the state hopes for is a disagreement.

CHARMING HAIR.

Every Woman Can Have It by Using Parisian Sage, Guaranteed by B. F. Fendig. There is a reason for the phenomen • al sale of Parisian Sage in the United States since it was first Introduced into America, and the sales this year are breaking all records. And the reason is plain to all: Parisian Sage does just what it is advertised to do. Ask B. F. Fendlg about it. He will sell you that he rigidly guarantees it to cure dandruff, stop falling hair or itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. There is no reason whatever why any man or woman should fail to take advantage of the above generous offer. But one thing that has made Parisian Sage so famous is its peculiar power to turn the harsh, unattractive hair that many women possess into luxuriant and radiant hair in a short time. Women of refinement the country over are using it and it never disappoints. Sold by leading druggists everywhere and in Rensselaer by B. F. Fendig for 50 cents a large bottle. The girl with tile Auburn hair is on every package; mail orders filled, charges prepaid, by the American makers, Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
