“Jack the Spitter” Latest Filth Varmint in Rensselaer.

The filthy tobacco spitter was on the job again Friday night. He must have used a dime’s worth of Battle Ax to mar the windows of Rensselaer. Commencing as far east as H. F. Parker’s photograph gallery he lathered about half the windows on both sides of Main street with great gobs of tobacco juice. Probably Frank Kresler’s store was the wort abused. The "beast who commits this shameful deed is about the worst human we have heard of, and if apprehended he should be severely punished. Probably a charge Of violating the spitting, ordinance and perhaps one of malicious trespass could be filed against the brute. A well directed brickbat would possibly bring the varmint to his senses, and this treatment would be merited if he could be caught in the act.
