Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Rhoades went to Chicago this morning, and she will enter Hahneman hospital, where, on Thursday, she will undergo an operation. She has been in very poor health for some time and it is hoped to Restore her health by the means employed. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Crockett returned this morning from Mt. Ayr, where they spent a few days visiting their daughter, Mrs. Caddie McCord. They started home yesterday, going to Fair Oaks on the C. & E. 1., but tbey missed the milk train at that place and \yere compelled to remain there over night. James P. Overton, who returned a couple of weekß ago from a visit with his son, Dr. Albert Overton, at Tuscola, 111., left this morning for a visit with his son Parker, ih Hammond. From there he will go to Rockford, 111., to visit his other son, Elvin. He will then have been the rounds of bis sons and will return to Rensselaer. Mrs. Emery Mills, who is visiting relatives here, will probahly remain for about three or four weeks. Mr. Mills is the vice president and genera! manager of the Muncie Wheel Co., which manufactures automobile and various other kinds of wheels, and he is now in Alabama purchasing hickory for use in manufacturing the products of the factory. . ■ ■ ■■ - * Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hurley were surprised Monday evening at 8 o’clock by twenty-five of the W. H. O. S. B. club girls and friends, who gave them a kitchen shower. Many beautiful and useful presents were given. Games were played and refreshments served. All returned home at_a late hour, wishing the young couple a long and happy life together. Indiana democr'ats are elated over the success in securing for Stokes Jackson, former state chairman, the position of Sergeant-at-Arms, which he so energetically went after. The position pays $6,500 per year. He also gets to appoint a lot of others to but he has been bound to appoint men from other states as the agreement was thus made to secure his election. There has been a big shake-up in* the railway mail service recent 1 v but so far no local clerks have been affected by it, but the change in the office* of the superintendent at Cincinnati makes all wonder what will happen next. Chas. Rager, who was the superintendent, was reduced, to a chief clerkship and sent to Atlanta, Ga., and a new superintendent named Reed, from Cleveland, installed at Cincinnati.

Caries L. Criswell, who belongs to the local militia company, came all the way from the Straud Ford farm, 10 miles east of Fowler to attend the inspection of the company- Monday night and by missing train connections at Lafayette he did not arrive here until this morning. He states that his employer has out 175 acres of oats and will sow about 125 acres more. Caries will remain here until Thursday visiting his parents southeast of town.

Powers, a baseball catcher whom Homer Dobbins brought here to catch the game against Wheatfleld some four years ago, and who at that time was playing with Wabash college, Is sprinting right along in professional baseball, and this year plays, with Evansville In the Central League. Evansville gave the Chicago Cubs a close call yesterday with Powers behind the bat. The game went 11 innings and Powers is given credit with a swift play. Bteinfeldt was playing a short distance off first and Powers received a wild throw from his pitch,er and pegged the ball to first, catching the surprised Steinfeldt and putting him out When Powers was here he looked very good but he made a fumble or two that helped Rensselaer lose. He was determined to get into professional ball, however,* and now* looks like one of the best catchers in the minor leagues. He got one hit 11 pu touts and 1 assist Monday against the Cubs.
