VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS BY PURTELLE.

Inienurbao Promoter has Liabilities Aggregating More Than s7o<M>oo, With Assets of Only $50,000. In the federal court in Chicago, Eugene Purtelle last Saturday began proceedings in voluntary bankruptcy. This action was taken because he wa« being pursued by a large number of persistent creditors who had claims aggregating $707,933.11. He filed a statement of assets totaling $50,989.48. Purtelle states that these liabilities were incurred in various private business enterprises, largely in Chicago real estate. He says that his action will have no effect whatever upon the railroad building along the lines he has been following here, unless it will aid the project because he will be relieved of some obligations that were giving him much concern and taking up much of his time.

James Pefley, of Remington, was a Rensselaer visitor this morning. O. H. McKay is confined at his home with sickness. — t ———- H. F. Holmes, of Delphi, and Chas. Stansell, of Rockfleld, were in Rensselaer on business last week. Miss Hazel McColly returned to Chicago Heights this morning, after a short visit here. A 20-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Benson died Saturday night after a sickness of some time. Burial was made this afternoon. A new semester was begun in the Rensselaer schools this iporning, with a somewhat better attendance than for some time past. The examinations were ended Friday and the pupils will get their grades today and tomorrow. Mrs. W. A. Davenport left Sunday for Versailles, Ky., to atteqd the funeral of her aunt, Mrs. P. Blackerby, and to assist in the care of her great aunt, Mrs. A. T. Hurst, who is in very feeble health. Mr. Davenport accompanied her as far as Louisville. Lowrey is simply great. We have never had a man who pleased our pupils as much as Lowrey. I want him on our course again next season. —Prof. S. J. Pulliam, of Georgetown (Ky.) College. At M. E. church, Thursday evening, Jan. 19th. The Remington Encampment of Odd Fellows has invited the Rensselaer Encampment to attend their installation next Friday evening and District Deputy Chas. E. Simpson and a number of Other members will probably attend. A dispatch from Wilmingtpn, Del., says that Charles B. Landis, formerly congressman from the 9th Indiana district, and for many years the editor of the Delphi Journal, has been made an official of the Dupont Powder Co., of Wilmington, and will spend much of his time in that state, although maintaining his regal residence in Carroll county. Bob Michael will hold a public sale Tuesday, Jan. 24th at his lots south of the county jail. It is an off year when Boh don’t hold a sale, and he always has a good one, and the sale this year will be no exception. Bob believes that one week’s advertising is sufficient -sos a sale and consequently he don’t - advertise far in advance, but his bills will be up a week before the sale, and by using a liberal amount of printer’s ink, he lets every one in the locality know about his sale. W. M. Hurley and Miss Nellie Coughlin, of LaGro, Ind., returned to their home today after a visit of several days at the home of John Ryan in Gillam township. Mr. Hurley went to a Catholic schuul Just south of Rensselaer in 1876 and this was his. first visit here since that time. He could find but few things to remind him of that period, but Sunday spent the day with Henry Luers and had a fine visit. He has spent much of the recent years in southwestern South Dakota. Booth Lowrey has- been on our course three times and has pleased as well or better than any other number we have ever had, end you know we have had a long list of the leading attractions in the past eight, years. As you know, I seldom write any kind of endorsement, for Our lecturers, but when one so completely captivates our audience as Lowrey did three times in succession, It is a pleasure for me to heartily endorse him.—W. W. Martin, manager Doniphan, Mo., lyceum course. At M. E. church, Thursday evening, January 19th. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Tharp returned to Kentland today after a visit of several days here, following the burial of her mother, Mrs. Weathers.

Among the passengers from Rensselaer on the train were Mrs .George Ketchum, Mrs. J. L. Brady, Mrs. W. C. Babcock and Ross Benjamin. Passenger train No. 33, due here from the north at 1:58, was detoured around and it is probale that the wreck will hardly be cleared away in time to permit the passing of the north bound trains due in Rensselaer at 2:53 and 3:15,

Rensselaer High School 20; Kentland High School 3.

The Rensselaer high school girls’ basketball team defeated the Kentland high school girls’ team Saturday evening, at Warner’s hall in a well played game. The visitors, though somewhat talier, were not as fast as the Rensselaer girls, and not as accurate in passing the ball, Babcock and Peyton, at guards, kept the Kentland forwards from making a single field basket, while Simpson and Robinson, at forwards, made nine field baskets, the former getting six and the latter three. Helen Meader, at center, played a strong game and kept the ball in the visitors’ territory most of the time. Marjorie Lough-, ridge took Helen Meader’s place near the end of the game, ind played well for the brief time she was in. For the visitors, McCain at guard, Hassett and Mclntosh at center and forward, played the best game.,. Before the regular game occurred a “mighty tussle” between Capt. William Babcock's warriors and Capt. Emil Hanley’s braves, ending 17 to 9 in favor of the former. The summary: Kentland Rensselaer Reed right forward Simpson Hassett left forward Robinson Mclntosh center Maader, Louhridge McCain right guard Babcock Reed left guard v Peyton Field baskets, Simpson 6, Robinson 3. Baskets from fouls, Simpson 2, Reed 3. Length of halves, 15 minutes.

Brief mention was made a day or two ago about the death at Anderson of the mother of E. C. Maxwell, Mr. Maxwell was there at the time, having been called there by the death of his brother, who was buried Mouday. The excitement following the death of that son contributed to the death of his mother, who died on Tuesday night.
