RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1911.

The GreenwoodAown board has instructed the marshal to notity owners of slot machines to cease operating the machines in that city. We are ready for Easter Our stock of Shoes and Oxfords is complete, and we are anxious to suit every man, woman and child. Try us once. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store. A short vacation for St. Joseph’s students began today and most of the students will go to. their homes, returning for the reopening of school Tuesday. i . - The Depot Grocery has enjoyed .a nice steady growth since its beginning. Its managers carry a good grade of goods and make every effort to please. The Woman’s Social Club of the First Baptist church' will hold an Easter market at the Home Grocery, Saturday, April 15th. The patronage of the public is solicited. The rain last night was not very great in extent, but was warm and should do good to pastures, lawns and gardens. Today is fluttering between an effort to continue the rain and another to clear up. Our greatest desire is to furnish relief to tired, aching feet. We do this by properly fitting the feet. Try us when purchasing your - next pair. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block. • Lincoln township, Newton county, has a population of 701. The Newton county commissioners have ordered an election there to vote on the saloon question and the Kentland papers are not “crabbing” about it. Miss Grace Robinson, daughter of Mrs. G. M. Robinson, and a graduate of the Rensselaer high school, wi:l go to Chicago Saturday to enter Wesley hospital to take a nurse’s training course. Elbert M. Antrim writes from Chicago to have his address changed to 5530 Washington Ave. He says: “We tried hard to elect another republican mayor last week, but Carter H., ‘tried and true,’ was a little too much for us.” f We have Ju«t Unloaded two cars of j potatoes; one of fancy Michigan sand grown table stock and one car of Northern Minnesota, Early Ohios, Early Rose, Six Weeks and Burbanks. Look at our stock and get our prices. JOHN EGER. Babcock is now worrying because the people of Wheatfleld will have to take time off to vote. Such concern for their welfare does this self-ap-pointed guardian have. There seems to be an impression in Wheatfleld that he is “sticking his nose in other peoples’ business.” On our last sale of jelly in 5-pound pails we had a demand far beyond our supply and ran out, and to those that were disappointed, we are goiijg to give them another chance and will place on sale this week, 10 dozen more at 20c a pail. JOHN EGER. Miss Elizabeth Reiddle was hostess last evening to the following young ladies at a 6:30 o’clock dinner given, in honor of Miss Grace Robinson at the Makeever hotel: Misses Nell and Madie Drake, Majorle Loughridge, Georgia Harris, Myrtle York and Mrs. James Rhoades. Petrified hogs,, thd stone counterparts of swine that were buried more than twenty years ago, have been uncovered by ditchers on the farm of Fred Hadley, near North Salem. Sial Davidson says he burled the hogs for Ed Haynes. The stone Images were , c.\\wVky when ftvat found, but hardened When exposed to the air. One of the provisions of the Proctor "regulation” law makes an attack on saloon law violators an absolute impossiblity. If there are evidences of law violations and some person who believes in their correction swears out a warrant for the arrest of the offender, he must put up a bond for thp costs of the trial In case the man is not convicted. The saloonkeeper with this protection can employ the most able and unscrupulous lawyers and if he wins, as he probably will and usually does, the man who made the charge is liable for not only the costs of the trial but for the expense of the saloonkeeper’s lawyers also. Thlß is the Proctor “protective”, law against which Senator Hatteck voted. It is a sample of the democratic saloon laws of the last general assembly. If your piano needs tuning call on CRto Braun, the band instructor. First class work guaranteed. Leave your orders with any of the band boys.

The Methodist ladies will hold their annual Easter market Saturday, April15th, at Perry Horton’s music store. They will have on sale homemade bread, cake, pies, baked beans, doughnuts, cottage cheese, dressed chicken; in fact, everything suitable for your Easter dinner. William Whited has moved from Wheatfleld to Rensselaer and has moved to one of A. Leopold’s houses. He expects to take a trip to Mississippi one day next week and will probably engage in the real estate business and sell land in that state. His 6-year-old daughter has had a severe case of tonsilitis since they moved here last Saturday. Baseball is receiving considerable attention and It is believed that a team can be organized that will make a good showing. Frank Kresler is willing to head an organization if he can be assisted by a number of responsible men) His idea is to' get a pitcher and to make the balance of the team up from the hom£ boys. That idefc seems to meet general favor and it is expected to oall a meeting soon to form an organization. Mrs. Charles Mustard came yesterday evening from near Hopkins Park, ill., to visit her brother, George Kennedy, south of town. Their mother, krs. Rebecca Kennedy, Is in Longcliffe asylum and is not expected to live. Another daughter, Mrs. Mary Taylor, is with the mother at the asylum. She went there expecting to bring her mother home, but found her in so serious a condition that she could not be moved and news of her death is expected any time. The condition of Mrs. R. B. Harris became so critical Tuesday as to serious al&rm. A specialist was called from Chicago in consultation with the local physician. He arrived on the 11 o’clock train that night and it was thought an operation might be resorted to, but her condition was too weak to admit it. She rested very well the latter part of the night but this morning was taken worse again and the prospects for her are regarded unfavorable. Babcock thinks that the county attorney and the county commissioners have the power to make Wheatfleld “dry” if they want to. Most people seem to think that the courts will get a whirl at deciding whether a township with less than 1,000 people shall have a saloon or not. But his argument is consistent with the law passed by the democratic legislature which provides that after the commissioners hav6 granted or refused licenses that there shall be no appeal from their decision. That is the first time we have ever heard of a legislature presuming to grant to officers any right that could not be reviewed by the courts. It will stand just about as long as Bab’s professed desire to keep Wheatfleld “dry” will stand. It will have a test in Newton county at once, as Ohauncey Smith, the defeated Goodland applicant, has appealed to the circuit court. A Classified Adv. will rent It

fHow to Be Fashionable Your Dressmaker can not make you fashionable. > She can make a stylish dress for you, but whether you will appear fashionable or not depends altogether upon your To be fashionable, you must be shapely, proportionately slender, and graceful. Then no matter how simple your frock may be, you will be attractive. And again, ask about the construction of a corset before you buy. Don’t judge a corset solely by its looks. The permanancy of the shapliness of your corset and HENDERSON the service it should give are deFashion Form pendent wholly upon the Corsets tion of the corset. Lenderson’s Corsets have double bones and side stays, which are enclosed in a double stripping. The front clasp is especially reinforced and will not break, and all metal parts of these corsets are absolutely nonrustable. > We urge you to buy a Hepderson Corset, because we feel confident you will get more style, satisfaction and wearing value from these models than from any other you have ever worn.
