Big Wrestling Bout Takes Place Tonight Good Prelims.

Tom Coburn and William Polos will meet tonight at the opera house and up to noon today the largest advance sale of any match had taken place. The sale has kept up this afternoon and it looks like a packed house. Coburn has been doing a lot of training, mostly for endurance. He has taken long country runs each day, going several miles into the country and keeping up a dog trot all the way. His manager, Jerry Walls, also acts as his trainer and Jerry has paced him on a bicycle most of the time. Coburn keeps in good shape all the time by hard work. A little letting down tells quickly on him and therefore he does not let down. He keeps right at work day after day and is always ready for a match. Polos is to come up this afternoon. He has been training also as he is to have l a match, at Lafayette next Friday night with. Chas. Oleson. The general impression here seems to be that Coburn will -throw the Greek and he states that he expects to do this. There are many who believe, however, that the Greek will prove a little better than Coburn considers him and will be able to hold his own. The preliminaries will be first class and it is probable that Eiglesbach will appear in one of these and Battleday in another. The stage steats have been reserved and none will be allowed on the stage except those who have business there. Marshall Mustard has been instructed to lead from the house any. person who tries to start trouble and the loqtlng that has become very annoying will be prohibited. The match should prove very interested and those who like ( wrestling will doubtless see the best match ever held in Rensselaer.

“GRANDFATHER GWIN VICTIM OF PLEURAL-PNEUMONIA.

Oldest Male Resident of Marlon Town- ; ship Dies After Short Sickness 4 At Home of His Son, J. C. Gwin. John Mills Gwin, better known here by the familiar and reverential name of "Grandfather” Gwin, died at 11:30 o’clock Friday night at the home of his son, J. C. Gwin, on Scott street in the east part of Rensselaer. For the past two or three years he had been dividing _bis time between

this city and Monticello, where he resided with his daughter, Mrs. Samantha McDonald. He came to Rensselaer about two weeks ago, and was suffering from a slight cold. He remained close at home and tried to break up the cold but it did not yield leadiiy to treatment. The pleurisy asserted itself only thref or four days before his death and Friday afternoon the first 'evidence of pneumonia was discovered. He sank rapidly during the day and passed quietly jo his death at the hour stated.

Student Play Proved Big Success at St. Joseph’s College.

A number of people went from Rensselaer last evening to witness the production by students of St. Joseph’s college given Jn the college gymnasium, and they were amply rewarded for making the trip. The auditorium of the big hall was well filled as was also the gallery and many of the students had out-of-town visitors who came over to spend St. Patrick’s day and attend the show. The play was entitled “Under, the Flag” and consisted of'a prologue and four acts. The prologue was merely preparatory and the scene of it was laid in New York and in the of a diamond merchant, who proved to be a smuggler, the story was begun. The diamond merchant, Williard Blake, and his chief clerk, George Morris, sought the hand of the same girl in marriage. As Jhe v play is prepared for all males, the young lady does not appear ujson the scene, but Blake tries to involve his clerk in trouble and when it looks as though he Is about to succeed the clerk turns tables on him and Blake becomes a fugitive. They next meet in Cuba, where Morris is managing a largl ranch for his father-in-law, and the succeeding acts show the many schemes that Blake employs to discredit Morris and at one time Morris is sentenced to be shot but just aB the command is about to be given Larry OToole, a faithful Irish friend, wraps an American flag about Morris and defies the Spanish -governor of the island to Are upon it. Blake is finally captured and although Morris spared his lffbrlh” farmlands were about to kill, him when he killed himself. There are many good parts and they were all well played. Especially did Leon Dufrane as Gerald Firman; Henry Hipskind, as George Morris, Herman Gabel as Williard Blake, Roland Carmody as Larry O'Toole, Geore Pax as Rastus and Herman Leugera as Ricardo, the Cuban governor, carry their parts ably. Father Rapp, Jirepted tho rehearsals, thinks (, same'play will be reproduced the

Deceased was born in Wayne, Ind., and had lived, in Jasper county for many years. The exact time of his coming to this county could not be supplied to the Republican at this time but will appear in the obituary. He was 92 years of age the 19th of August and was the oldest male inhabitant of Marion township. "Grandfather” Gwin's wife died in 1896, and since that time he has resided with his children, remaining for several years at McCoys burg. His living children are, Mrs. Emma Sayers, of Herscher, Ill..; Mrs. Felix Par-

ker, of Roselawn; Mrs. Samantha McDonald, of Monticello; Mrs. A. M. Mundon, of CharlottsviHe; Jesse C.' Gwin, of Rensselaer; John Pleasant Gwin, who just left MpCoysburg two weeks ago and located in Mammoth Springs, Ark., and Wayne Gwin, of Acme, S. Dak. "x ' The funeral will be held at the M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock and internment will be made in Weston cemetery beside the grave of his wife.

“Girl From Turkey” Was the Best Play of the Season.

Our stock company gave the first real comedy they have undertaken since they started on the circuit Friday night, and with the greater part of the large audience it was a big hit, where everybody laughed and just as they settled down from one laugh they were thrown into another and another, until their sides were sore and the laugh wrinkles fairly creased into their faces. There is practically no plot to the play. It is written for fun and not for sentiment and it makes good, just as the performers individually and collectively made good. Hopkins bought a picture ot a beautiful woman, which came to life. His wife and her aunt, and Mike, the Irish servant, and Pompey, the darkey servant, and Oscar Jones, the painter's uncle, all help to complicate the troubles when the painting turns into a Turkish girl, and the artist tries to keep the trouble makers from finding it out. The trouble increases until everything clears up Just before the drop of the curtain. The next performance will be “The Heart of Virginia,” next. Friday night. The company has enlarged their circuit, taking in Knox for Monday nights and switching Lowell from Monday to Bat* urday.

last of May, and it is probable that it may be produced here shortly in the Ellia Theatre. between the acta the college orchestra played several fine selections and when, before the last act, several Irish tunes were played the audience cheered loudly and Attorney Honan threw his hat in the air. During the forenoon, although the weather was not very favorable a game of baseball was played. The rivals were the German and Irish students and the former won by the very disparaging score of 12 to 0.

Wheatfield Schools of High Standard are Fully Commissioned.

The Wheatfield high school, which was last year certified has now been fully commissioned and graduates ol' that school can now enter any college in the state without tailing an examination. The certified school graduates can teach school after taking an examination and they are also fvquired to take an examination before entering the freshman year of colleges. The improvement in WLeatfield educational work began with the erection *.f a fine new school building jointly by the town and the township. All citizens of that section who have aided in the improved educational facilities deserve great credit, while the township trustees, Robert A. Mannon and later S. D. Clark, have helped in many ways. The town school board has also aided in the rapidly increasing standard of the schools. The head of the schools for come time has been Morgan L. Sterritt, who was a teacher in the Rensselaer high school several years ago. His devotion'io the schools is also said to have aided materially in the recognition the school.! have received by the state board of education.

14 Tons of Hay Burn While Landlord and Tenant Law.

That law and justice are expensive was proven Thursday when in Justice Irwin’s court a case was tried in which C. B. Holly, of Morocco, sought to secure possession of the Ki&ht farm, % mile east of Fair Oaks, and of which R. M. Dunn is the present occupant. While the suit was in progress 14 tons of hay, which was the undivided property of the landlord and tenant, who were respectfully the plaintiff and the defendant, burned to the grqund and the barn would have gone also but for the activity of neighbors in preventing it. Mr. Dunn leased the farm of Mrs. A. Hilliard for the year 1910. She then sold the farm to C. B. Holley. Sept 5, 1910, he leased the farm to Mr Dunn, at least this was the contention, of Mr. Dunn and the view the court took of the matter and rendered judgment for the defendant from which an appeal has been taken. W. H. Parkinson represented the plaintiff and Roy Blue the defendant.

A Columbus of Space

By Garrett P. Serviss.

Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co* o CHAPTER XVIII. We Find Another Enemy. After struggling and? stumblin,; through the thicket for a few minute* we gave up the chase sooner than weshould have done, on account of Edmund’s anxiety to return to Ala, who. had remained where we first saw her,, standing in the door of the car. When he stopped, we all stopped; though Juba, whose blood was up,.would have continued 11 the pursuit if he had not been compelled to desist.. He disregarded the rest of us, but obeyed Edmund's call like a faithful, hound. It was a great disappointment that: Ingra had escaped, but there was no» help for it. We muAt face the consequences, and probably there was not one of us who not feel an unuttered foreboding of disaster. We had made for ourselves a terrible enemy, and it was perfectly certain that as long as we remained he would! pursue us with all the energy of his, fiercely passionate nature and the rescources of his acute mind. Edmund expressed this when he exclaimed, on our hurried return tothe car: “That fellow and I cannot both live in this world. He will not let me alone, but I never run from him!” “Then why don’t you get out of his world?” said Jack, who sometimes expressed rather bluntly his suddenly, conceived notion of right and justice. “You are the Interloper, not he.’.' “Am I an Interloper,” replied Edmund, with flashing eye and flushed • cheek, "when she'%—pointing to Ala, who, having heard of our approach, came Joyously to meet us—“calls upon me to defend her?” Jack made no reply, but whispered in my ear: “Jove! I don’t blame him. I'd die fighting for her myself.” Ala’s beauty seemed tenfold greater in the flush of excitement that overspread her features. She greeted u» with hardly less warmth than she bestowed upon Edmund, and the caressing touch of her hand on Juba’s hairy arm was a reward that the poor fellow plainly accepted in full compensation for the fearful risk he had run. And he deserved her thanks because, but for his presence, Ingra would have abducted Ala as soon as the car landed, and we should have arrived, too late. We had hardly reached the car again when one of the pursuing aeroplanes came up, and close after it followed several more. They brought a number of court officials and attendants, who were quite in the dark as to the meaning of this extraordinary escapade. For, it will be remembered, there had been no time to tejl anybody of the presence of Ingra in the car when we arrived at the tower. | Ala explained the situation, and the excitement of her friends was laughable. They ran about in the underbrush, anxious to show their devoUon, and possibly thinking that they would find the fugitive concealed close at hand. But Ala recalled them, and, as more aeroplanes arrived, organized the
