“Will you Tlease address my paper to 266 S. Elmolino Ave. and oblige? I have extended my lease until March 15 at this place. Have not received any Republicans as yeb We are having the finest of summer weather here now, a too 1 warm, if anything Of course, I am not„ exerting myself to any great extent and am certainly enjoying this delightful climate. The annual New Years celebration, the “Tournament of Roses,”! was held on the 2nd, and was fine. Think of a big 4th of July celebration on New Years. Such was what it seemed to us. We attended the aviation meet at Domingues Park, fifteen miles south of Los Angeles, and saw the many air ships in operation at close range. It was very nice and interesting, b..t please excuse me. We saw Hoxsey descend from the celestial world, and alight near us, having established a world’s record for endurance. ’ We were very glad we did not see him fa i just two days later. Victor Benkland, of Brook, was there and saw him fall to his death.

We have had two light showers and two light 'frosts. The rains did no good and the frosts no harm. We had the pleasure of seeing a world’s record Roman chariot race run at Tournament Park Monday; time 1:49%. Purses, first $1,000; second $50.”

Constables Saturday raided the Gary saloon of George V. Hankins, known in sporting circles in the west as “The Gambler.” They arrested Hankins and confiscated several slot machines. Hankins in his palmy days was a millionaire and was known as the gambling king of Chicago. Recently he was erroneously reported dead.

In 1910 we handled 16 carloads of flour, more, than all the balance of the merchants in Rensselaer handled. We are not trying to boost ourselves as a better merchant or. better salesman than others, but give the credit to Arlstos flour that has made us more friends than anything we have ever handled. We have Just unloaded our first car for 1911 and If you have never tried it, we want you to give it a trial. We will return your money if it is not the best flour made. JOHN EQER.

City Sells Fire Horse To Maines & Hamilton.

“Ted,” the city fire horse which was cirppled last August by running a nail in its foot, was sold today to Maines for $125. The hofse was originally bought by the city for S2OO and since it was crippled it has been a dead expense to the city. The city officials last evening instructed Marshal Mustard to sell the" animal and if he could get no higher price to take SIOO for the horse. Maines & Hamilton offered him $125, which was accepted.

While the horse is unfit for fire purposes it can be used in other work, having recovered from its lameness.

Republican Editors Will Talk And Feast at Indianapolis.

The executive committee of the Indiana republican editorial association at a meeting, Friday decided to hold the annual meeting at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, Jan. 26 and 27. The banauet to be given Thursday night will be attended by 100 guests, with the republican members of the legislature as honorary guests.

Receipts of Oil Inspector's Office Daring 1910 Quite Large.

Nearly SIOO,OOO was earned by ths state oil inspector’s office during the year 1910, according to the annual report which Sid Conger, retiring chief inspector, filed with Governor Marshal Saturday. The exact amount taken In was $99,737, as against $86,974.70 in 1909. The money is divided equally between the Inspectors and the state.

Eugene Purtelle, president of the Northwestern Indiana Traction company, is in the city today. He says the company is ready to begin construction work here just as soon as the weather permits. Owing to the frozen condition of the ground at the present time it would be impossible to do any grading without the expenditure of an immense amount of money, so this work will be deferred until later. He expects to have the surveying crew here shortly to finish running the line they commenced some time ago, and until active construction work commences the time will be spent in looking after elections and in securing the right of way. The petition for an election in Newtoa township has been drawn up and will shortly be circulated for signers. There is little doubt that if the road is built it will be through Mt. Ayr, which will cut out Burrey, Parr and Fair Oaks, which is causing considerable uneasiness to the residents of those towns.

“Generally debilitated for years. Had sick headaches, lacked ambition, was worn-out and all run-down. Burdock Blood Bitters made me a well woman.”—Mrs. Chas. Freltoy, Moosup, Conn.

A Columbus of Space

By Garrett P. Serviss.

Copyright by Frank. A. Munsey Co. CHAPTER VII. The Children Of The Snn. But the situation was too exciting to permit us to think long of {he poor creaures whose deaths we had undoubtedly caused. There seemed less than an even chance of our getting through ourselves. As we went tossing and whirling on, the water rose still higher, and the blocks of ice assailed us on all sides. First the sled on one side was torn loose; then the other disappeared. The car was left to make its way alone. But the loss of the sled was a good thing, now that their occupants were gone. It eased off the weight and the car rose much higher in the water, and gave room more readily when pressed by Ice blocks. It rolled more than before, to be sure, but still it was well ballasted, and did not turn turtle. It took one fearful plunge, howeVer, over a perpendicular fall of, I should say, 20 or 30 feet in height. But the water was very deep, and we came up again after the plunge, like a cork, and whirled off down the rapids. At last the stream became so broad that the danger from the floating ice was to an extent relieved, and we began to .look about us more coolly. As In all cages of long-continued peril," we were becoming hardened by so many escapes and growing more and more confident. We had got out of the ice mountains by this time,, and the elevations about us were of no great height. But we could see the glittering peaks towering far behind, and it was a most appalling sight to watch many of the nearer hills suddenly sink, collapse and disappear, just as—if you have ever watched the operations of the cook in the kitchen when a boy—you have seen pinnacles of soft sugar melt down in water. Edmund! said that all of the icy hills and mounds through which we were passing no doubt owed their existence to pressure from behind, where the sun never rose, and where the ice was piled into actual mountains. These foothills were, in fact, enormous glaciers, thrust out toward the sunward hemisphere. . After a long time the river that bore us broadened into a vertible lake. The surface around became comparatively level and was all covered with the water. The sun rose higher and higher as we approached It, and the heat increased. Vast fields of ice floated in the great lake, whose water was not muddy, as it would have been if it had passed over soil, but of crystal* purity and wonderfully blue in the deep places. And now we began to notice the wind again. - It came fitfully, first from one direction and then from another. At times it rose to the fury of a tempest and lifted the water into hugh waves. But the car rode them beautifully. "Therein lies our greatest danger," said Edmund. “The current still sets in the same direction, and I foresee that we shall be carried into a region where the contending winds will play perfect havoc.' . • “It is the region where the hot air from the sunward side begins to descend, and the cold air from the other side meets it. It is a belt of storms, and it may form a barrier more tremendous than the crystal mountains, themselves. We shall have all we can do to escape being cast away when we approach a shore —for shore of some kind there must be." It came out nearly as be had antic* pated, except that the current gradually died away, and we found ourselves driven about by the wind. This continually increased in force, and at last the sky became choked with dense clouds, which swept down upon the face of the waters, and were whirled into blaek tornadoes by the circling blasts. Frequently the bar was deluged by waterspouts, and at such times, whn
