MOST BZHABIABLE MOVING PICTURES EVER TAKER. Lassoing Wild Animals in Africa BY THE WORLD'S FAMOUS BUFFALO JONES and WESTERN COWBOYS The most thrilling and daredevil feat ever accomplished. % -j - Col. Hoosevelt on viewing the plotnres said:— “A really phenomenal record of a really phenomenal feat.” The pictures are of the photographic quality from start to finish, and most of the work Is done close up to the camera, so that every movement can be seen. Beginning with the start of the expedition from Nairodi the pictures take us for miles across the veldt and jungles to the game country. The big ox-carts, loaded with impedimentia, are shown crossing a “drift,” or small stream; the camp of the expedition en route and fording streams form interesting views. Arriving at the scene of action Colonel Jones‘and his cowboys get busy. The first victim is an ugly wart hog. There is a lively chase, but his hogship is soon tangled hopelessly in the lariats, thrown and tied. The pext victim of the plainsman’s skill is the hartebeast, of which they make easy work. An eland comes next, and here one of the.cow ponies adds to the fun by giving an exhibition of bucking. He got frightened at the eland, which was new to him, and - declined to stand while his rider was tying the beast. When the ropers got after a giraffe there was some tall riding. Those big, ungainly creatures can go some when they get started, and this one led his pursuers a merry chase before he was finally roped and tied. One of the most sensational scenes is the capture of a particularly ugly rhinoceros. It was one of the two-horned variety, and one of the horns is extra long and dangerous. After several charges the ropethrowers . got him right, and he was eventually thrown. The capture of the rhino called for a big celebration in the camp that night among the natives. Succeeding scenes show the capture es zebra, a cerval cat, a cheetah, which 'is a sort of leopard, and finally a full-grown lioness. This latter exploit was attended with great danger. But Madam Lioness is eventually shown swinging from the limb of a tree, where she is properly muzzled, her claws manicured, and is placed on a drag and hauled to camp. This great picture will be run In the To* Night AFTERNOON ABB EVENING, COMMENCING AT IP.M.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1911.

Wrestling Match Tonight Will Be Clean and Evenly Matched.

The wrestling match at the opera house tonight between Art Battleday and Clifford Nichols will be a good kone if the dope of thettr previous match with Guy Ropp can be taken as a basis. Each was successful ih preliminaries with Ropp and each showed some knowledge of wrestling. Battleday has been regarded as the best lightweight in Rensselaer for several years, although he has not wrestled much. Nichols is of an athletic build and a clean young man in excellent training. He is heavier than Battleday but will have plenty of trouble on his hands in pinning his man to the mat, in all probability. Two preliminaries have been arranged, Harry Hickman and Robert Anderson and the other between Eiglesbach and Sharp.

Local Militia Officer May Participate in Army Maneuvers.

On advice from the Adjutant-Gen-eral of the Indiana National Guard to Captain George'H. Healey, of M. company of the third regiment at Rensselaer, states that he has been recommended to the war department as one of the Indiana officers to be sent from Indiana to participate in the army maneuvers In Texas. The adjutantgeneral had not been advised up to Friday evening as to the number of Indiana officers that would be entitle* 1 to go to’ the maneuvers, but has submitted 65 names to the department and the selection will be made in Washington. Captain Healey will make his arrangements' to attend the military event in Texas if selected. The order states that those who go will bp expected to remain “as long as the department may deem 1 advisable.”

High School Defeated Delphi 28 to 24 at Basketball.

Rensselaer is just getting right in basketball and in a well played game Friday night defeated Delphi by the score of 28 to 24. At the end of the first half the score stood 11 to 10 in favor .of the visitors, but this lead was overcome in the second half. The Rensselaer forwards ran up against a couple of unusually clever guards in Julian and McCain, and Parks only succeeded in making 2. ;baskets during the game, white Robinson succeeded in making but 1. Porter at center, however, shot eight field goals and ,his good work was responsible for the long end of the score. The field work was better than at any other time during the season and the boys will doubtless make a 'good account of themselves in the games yet to play, which will be with CK>wn Point and Sheldon. The attendance was small, not nearly what was expected and it is hoped to get out a much larger crowd when Crown Point plays here. The teams lined up Friday night as follows: Delphi Rensselaer Craig rs Parks Mount If Robinson, Miller Baughman c Porter Julian rg Pagitt, Robinson McCain lg Sage Summary—Time of halves, 20-20. Field goals—Craig 2, Mount 2, Baughman 3, Julian 1; Parks 2, Robinson 1, Porter 8, Sage 1. Foul throws—Moulit 8 out of 14; Porter 4 out of 12. Officials—Dean and Grimm.

Dedication of U. B. Church At Brook Sunday, March 5th.

The Brook Reporter, in a very able manner, covers the dedication on Sunday, March sth, of the new United Brethren church in that town. Many illustrations were employed and photographs of the old church and different views. of the fine modern structures were presented In the paper. Pictures of former pastors and of the presiding elder and the bishop, and of the present pastor and his wife, who is also a minister, combined, with a well-written article, to make the report very interesting and the papei one to b,e preserved for many years.

Pilot Editor Gets Wise To a Chronic Objector.

Ayr 1 Pilot The editor of the Democrat seems to have it In for the proposed interurban, In fact, anything that will develop Rensselaer and surrounding territory and reminds me of the old saying:—"I'll be damned if I do, and mi be damned if I don’t” The Pilot has faith in its construction, and not grouching on any public improvements as our esteemed pen wielder of the Democrat

O. K. Rainier Has Purchased The N. Littlefield Property.

N. Littlefield has sold his commodious and well arranged Cullen street property to O. K. Rainier, of West Lafayette. Mr. Rainier is the father of‘Mrs. M. D. Gwin and it is his intention to move here and occupy the property. Mr. Rainier is an extensive land owner in White county and resided for many years at Chalmers, where his farms are located. He served one term as commissioner of White county, a number of years ago. He has recently been living in West Lafayette, but sold his property there and he and Mrs. Rainier decided to come to Rensselaer in order to be near their daughter. N. Littlefield will probably continue to reside in Rensselaer, although he made a prospecting trip to the west last year with a view to locating there. He had placed a price on his property and when a buyer cable along he took him up, but states that he has no present thought of removing from Rensselaer. Mr. Rainier and family will probably move here about the first of June.

Five More Postal Savings Banks Coming to Indiana.

Five more postal savings banks will probably be established in Indiana during the next few months, making six in all. Congress at the recent session gave Postmaster General Hitchcock $500,000 with which to extend the postal bank system. The postmaster general calculates that this will enable him to establish about 250 postal banks or about five in each state. \ It is his intention to continue to favor the cities of secondary size. He has not yet given consideration to locations for the banks, but the next series will provide for postal banks for some cities where there is a large foreign population that distrusts Amgrican banking institutions, but probably would patronize a postal bank which has the government behiml it tlary, Hammond and South Bend are mentioned as cities of this kind and it Is probable that one of the three will get a postal bank. , The only postal bank now in opera tion in Indiana is at Princeton. The deposits there have exceeded expectations.

Wolf at Nation’s Door in 1950; Corn Yield Must be Tripled.

Starvation and famine will be staring us in the face in 1950, according to Prof. O. D. Center of the University of Illinois, who gave an address at the Central Y. M. C. A. “As a prosperous people we are dependent upon the fertility of the soil for our sustenance, and in order to remain prosperous at least 100 bushels of corn per acre should be obtained instead of the present low average,” said Prof. Center. In Indiana some farmers actually are producing crops at a loss, and even in Illinois, greatest corn-producing state in the union, the average is oniy 34.3 bushels per acre to the Cost of production. At the present rate of increase there will be 200,000,000 people in the United States in 1850, and to provide a food supply for this number, a yield at least of 100 bushels per acre will be necessary. In order to make the land produce this amount, Prof. Center said the farmer must have a thorough knowledger of chemistry of the soil, botany of plants, and anatomy of live stock.

Fowler Bank Depositors to Be Paid in Full—Probably.

Fowler Republican-Leader. It was mentioned last October that Grant Ha}l was in Denver, Colorado, on business. The business wa3 the appointment of an administrator for the estate of Daniel P. Baldwin The property consists of 6,000 acres of land owned by Baldwin & Howe, and worth from |15,000 to $20,000, and a Judgment against the Santa Fc railroad for $12,000, now in the supreme court Whatever property *kere is will be saved for the creditors of the Baldwin banks. Money is being paid in on account of the Arkansas land trouble and enough will be realized shortly to pay the depositors of the Fowler bank in full. The depository of the other banks will not be so fortunate, but there is no doubt but that the depositors of the Ambla bank will be paid in full, in time. —, — - . , » Fancy white as well as useful gingham aprons will be on sale at the annual M. E. apron bazaar at Mrs. Leslie Clark’s, Tuesday afternoon, March 14th. *

There is No Bubonic Plague in Spokane, Writes J. E. Hopkins.

The Republican is in receipt of a letter from J. E. Hopkins, who moved to Spokane, Wash., last ytear, stating that the published report that the Bubonic plague was raging in Spokane is without foundation. He says: : I wish, for the benefit of everyone concerned about friends they have here, that you will print an article saying that such is not the case. There is not a case of the plague in Spokane and all are well, with the exception of some grip.” Mr. Hopkins enclosed a clipping from a newspaper saying'that a state health officer had made a careful investigation of the sickness that had terminated in three deaths and that the cause was nothing more than severe influenza, terminating in pneumonia. There is no cause for alarm and the reports about the plague were without foundation. Mr. Hopkins asks to be remembered to his many Rensselaer friends. We have sold fifteen Corn King manure spreaders this spring. There is no better spreader on the market. Our terms and prices are better than any other. Let us tell you what we can do for you.

New Crown Point Superior Court to Start March 13.

Preparations are now being made by Judge Johannes Kopelke and County Clerk Shortridge to start the new Superior court in Crown Point on March 13th, the next Monday after the circuit court adjourns. It is understood that Judge Kopelke and Judge McMahan will soon have a conference and that Judge McMahan will transfer a number of cases filed ill his court over to the Superior court. In this way the congested condition of the circuit court will be helped out in good shape. The clerk’s office has sent a special order for new books and printed matter to Indianapolis, dnd as soon as this arrives the wheels of the new court will be oiled by Judge Kopelke and started. The new court will require an extra bailiff and court reporter. McKenzie, new reporter for the circnit court, will do the work also for the Crown Point branch of the Superior court. Harry E. Folk, now reporter for the Jasper circuit court, will act for Judge Kopelke in the Hammond branch and also for Judge McMahan in the Porter county court. The new bailiff for the local Superior court here has not yet been appointed.— Lake County Star. 1
