An auto load of Knights of Pythias went to Remington yesterday evening, having understood that the K. of P. lodge would have work in the second degree. They found after their arrival there, however, that the work had been postponed for two weeks and that the Remington brothers were not expecting any visitors or they would have informed the lodge here. The trip was not without some good results, however, for it resulted in an invitation being issued to the Rensselaer order to come over in two weeks. This invitation will probably be accepted by several, the weather being suitable.

GUN CLUB STARTED WITH TWENTY-THREE MEMBERS.

Trap Shooting to Be Revived in Rensselaer by Number of Sportsmen, Who Start Ball Rolling.

A representative of a leading powder company, after some correspondence with local came here Thursday and Interested twentythree gentlemen in\ forming a gun club for the purpose 6f trap shooting The name of the gentleman who came here was W. D. Stannard, who has been scooting traps for twenty years and is one of the best shots in the country. He reports a marked revival in the shooting game within the past year‘and stated that many golf and country clubs are going in enthusiastically for trap shooting. Mr. Stannard has shot in the larges’ cities of this country and has a number of trophies won from some of thi best shots in America and which he prizes very highly. He holds the record for long runs at the famous Watson park in Chicago, where he made 348 targets without a miss. After thai great performance he made another run of 154 on the closing day of that meet. He also has a number of runs of 100 or more.

Among the sportsmen who will take up the organization so well started here are Everett and Clint Brown Cleve and Harry Eger, L. A. Harmon, W. H. Brenner and others. The membership will be open to all who care to Join for a short time and a committee will be selected shortly to secure grounds, buy a new trap, purchasetargets, etc. It is intended not to indulge in too much shooting to start with, but to shoot only a limited num ber of shots on each day at the start, thus encouraging the * beginners as well as making the cost materially less. This club can be made a big suc-cess'if-about 35 or 40 members can be secured and with the start made Thursday there seems a prospect of a big membership.

The only place in the city where you can buy 3 quarts of fancy cranberries for 25c is at John Eger’s.

Moving picture theatre goers got their money’s worth and then some Thursday night. The Lyceum ~210Scenograph Co’s, show at the Jincess proved a big crowd bringer and there was only one criticism to the show and that was that there was too much of it. The house was crowded for the first show and about two hundred were in waiting. The three films were of splendid merit and they v&re run on a machine brought here by the owner of the service, which operates much slower than the average machines. The main picture was “The Last Days of Pompeii,” beautifully enacted. The Rex also had a double program and will during the time that the special pictures are beihg shown at the Princess. He had excellent numbers and two songs by Harry Eger and Miss Madeline Ramp. He gave three shows to good houses.

Isaac Miller, who has lived in Jasper county for twenty-seven years, and on the Jake Rich farm In Barkley township, for the past eight years, has rented, a farm near flora and will move there next Monday. The Rich farm will be tenanted by John Turner, who will move here from Secor, 111. Mr. Miller is a member of the old Oerman Baptist church, commonly known as Dunkards, and his move to Flora is largely to get in a neighborhood where there are more of bis religious faith. His brother, Tlra Miller, who has been an invalid for eighteen years, is now at the home • f his sister, Mrs/ Jacob B. Flora, In Dunn county, Wls. When he was 17 years of age he was Injured In the back and lower limbs by a heavy stone falling on him. Paralysis to the lower part of his body resulted and he has been unable to move his body from the waist down since that time. Since going to Wisconsin he has suffered seven or eight strokes of paralysis, and at one time could move no part of the body and -.oould not even talk. His heart action kept up, however, and now he is greatly improved, has recovered his power of articulation and only a few days ago wrote a letter to his brother. He expects to be moved to Flora and again take op his residence with Isaac in the spring. _

In 1910 we handled 16 carloads, of floor, more than all the balance of the merchants in Rensselaer handled. We are not trying to boost ourselves as a better merchant or beftOr salesman than others, but give the credit to Arlstoa flour that haa, 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.

Terms of Kennedy-Myers Match Materially Changed.

“Bill” Kennedy was at Parr a few days ago and insisted that the. terms of his match with “Billy” Stewart be changed so as to give him a chance at a bigger purse in case he wins. Stew art and his manager contended, and not without some right, that he should be entitled to the big end if he took on an unknown wrestler and the first arrangement was to give Stewart 75 per cent win*or lose. But on Kennedy’later request that the terms be altered it was arranged that the winner of the match get 75 per cent. Kennedy is said. to be well pleased with the present arrangement and to feel confident that he will take the long end of the purse. The fact that the' new terms are so pleasing to him has caused his supporters to take a renewed confidence in him and there is a Better prospect for a good match than there was a week ago. Kennedy and Stewart will go in for about the same weight ahd are much of the same build. Each will probably know more about the science of wrestling than Stewart or Myers did when that match was held and the contest should prove a big drawing card. It will be Friday night-of next week, Jan. 20th.

There are other matches being talked of now, a man by the name of Ross, who claims the middle weight championship, having written to Manager Ellis, offering to take on any aspirants. A young school teacher in the country is said to be a wrestler of some science, and anxious to meet any one of his size and weight. Randolph Wright is said to have a man in mind who will be after any wrestler that the county can produce. Stewart is willing to go through if he wins from Kennedy and he will probably accept any other challenger who shows up at the forthcoming match.
