Some filthy individual walked along the main street of Rensselaer Saturday night and spat tobacco juice on a number of plate glass windows. The First National bank and Ransford’s store were victims of the nasty trick. It Is almost beyond understanding how any man can be so low as to commit an act of this kind. He deserves all the mean things that are said about him, and if Harry Wiltshire, to whom fell the disagreeable task of washing 1 the First National windows, could .speak jX) him personally he would impress him with a lesson he would not soon forget.

Don't forget the Baby Sh'ow at the Princess theatre Saturday afternoon. A pair of fancy chickens given aWay every night this week at* the poultry show. John Alderi Dix became the governor of New York. Monday. He is the first democratic chief executive that stdte has had in eighteen years. Mr. Dix is pledged to an effort to' reduce the expense of state government and avoid a higher taxation. A very laudable phrpbse, if it can be carried out. MTss Emma Tanner and Miss Net lie Waymire returned to Upland, Ind., this morning, where both are attending a Bible institute. Miss Tanner was visited during the holidays by Miss Reba Talbott', of Ofleans, Ind. Floyd Tanner accompanied his sister and will enter the academy at that place. Mr. and Mrs. George E.

U. in 1895. company will-meet as usual Wednesday night, notwithstand ing the fact that the armory is ranted for the poultry show. The meeting will be held in the front rooms and a school for all militiamen will be conducted by Sergeant Ross Latshaw of the U. S. army. Guard duty, discipline and military courtesy will be the topics. A full attendance of all members is urged. Alabama has just decided what the one chief cause of crime is. Can you guess? It was liquor. Indiana doubts whether that is a real cause for crime and the legislature which will do business at Indianapolis will try to provide for its sale all over over the state agdin. In two years ended Sept. 30th, Alabama had 630 killings. Of these 258 were directly attributed to whir--key and its kindred inebriate makers. Nelson B. Reed Monday succeeded William K Lucas as general freight agent for the Monon at Lafayette, and has the distinction of being the youngest man holding tfi'e position. He was born at Monon twenty-seven years ago, and is the son of John R. Reed, a passenger conductor on the Monon. He learned the freight business at Greencastie. William K. Lucas, whom Reed succeeded, has been freight agent at Lafayette for fifteen years. A number of changes on the Monon are soor. to be announced. The cold wave that followed the warm rain of Sunday seems here to stay awhile and today, although bright, is quite cold, with the temperatuve well below the freezing point. Many local thermometers showed zero or below this morning but the government thermometer at St. Joseph’s college showed 3 above as the lowest mark reached during the night. A sharp wind has been blowing from the north and west since Sunday night and the storm is much the most* severe of the winter thus far. The weather forecast is for continued cold. The Rensselaer poultry and corn show is now in progress at the armory and by tonight it U> expected that about all the available room will he taken up with the entries. There were only a few arrivals up to it o’clock this morning, but many other fanciers were expected to arrive during the day, including William Hersiiman, the Pulllns and the Mayhews. The entries that had arrived were all of a superior quality and the show will evidently be one of the best the association has ever held, and the corn contest is expected to attract many who have not heretofore taken part In the poultry show. The armory Is a first-class place for this'show and people of Rensselaer and vicinity should give it the encouragement of their attendance. Now Is tfie time to order tile at The Rensselaer Cement Tile Factory, so you better be sure and get them. They pay a better divldehd than anything on your farm.

Some Other Reasons Favorable To Location of New Depot.

There seems little doubt hut that the engineers for the Monon railroad have given quite careful consideration in the matter of selecting the new lfacation for a depot in Rensselaer. The public has thought the building at the sharp curve a bad move because of the stopping and starting of trains, but We are informed that this matter has been carefully considered and will not be a disadvantage. On the-other hand, there will be a real advantage ulo southbound through freights, which will be able tO J see the order board at the proposed station from a considerable distance up the track, whereas they have formerly been compelled to slow down before reaching the curve* in order to get the train under control, should a negative bohrd be displayed when the curve is reached. Another reason assigned for the change is the necessity of extending the two tracks that now have a bumper stop at the Babcock & Hopkins elevator. These wi}l be extended east and this could not be done if the depot was located at Franklin street without leaving the depot between the main track and the; side tracks’, TTvery~ undesirable thing. The extended sidetracks will be extended some two blocks east and cut in on the passing track, but not into the main track. As practically all the heavily laden freights are through trains, they can clear the curve as well with the depot at the curve as any place else, and the matter of curve disadvantage is eliminated from the discussion, according to the recommendation board for the change.

Mrs. M. B. Alter Suffers Fracture of Her Right Hip.

Mrs. E. P. Alter, widow of Dr. M. B. Alter, slipped on the icy pavement near her residence on Van Rensselaer street Monday evening at aboyt 6 o’clock, as she was starting to her supper at the Comer house, and suffered a fracture of the right hip at the joint. She called for help and neighbors responded and she was taken to her home. She was removed to the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Kannal this morning, where at noon today, the fracture was reduced by physicians. Owing to the advanced age of the patient it ls jrrobable that the bone will be a long time healing and it may leave her a permanent cripple to some exr tent.

Growth of the Cream Business In Rensselaer Was Remarkable.

Drayman J.. A. Grant has been hauling cream to the milk train each morning for the past two years for W. H. Morrison, the cream buyer, and his figures show a marvelous growth during that period. The total number of cans hauled during 1909 was 5,777, and for 1910 the total number was 10,299. The heaviest month each year was July and during that month of 1909 there were 831 cans shipped to Chicago, and during the corresponding month in 1910 the number was 1,429. In January, 1909, the number was only 114, while a year later it was 361.

An Excellent Officer Becomes A Private Citizen of Rensselaer.

Louis P. Shirer became a private citizen when he retired from the county sheriff’s office Saturday evening. Jasper county has had many good men in office and usually they have been elected to second terms, but the voters took 1 It into their hands to defeat Louis Shirer and he was retired at the end of one term. We are convinced that many voted against him who did not know how excellent a man he was. We believe they did not realize that they were voting against one of the cleanest, most straightforward, honorable and upright men that ever held office in Jasper county We believe Louie Shirer was beaten by people who did not know him. A better man never held office in Jasper county and we believe that republicans who voted against Louie Shirer made a big mistake in contributing to his defeat. But it is one of the fortunes of politics and Private Citizen Shirer has the philosophy to make the most of it.

City Board of Finance Decides on Depositories.
