The barn and contents were insured for $2,600. No stock was injured, all being at work but one horse which they succeeded iu getting out. The light in the northwest is still a mystery. Every day some one comes into The Republican office to contend that the light is not a star. Jay Stockton wrote to the Farmers’ Journal in Chicago and received a theory that the light was created by a reflection of a light from a tower in the city on clouds. This could hardly be the solution. John Price says that in going down the light falls by short but distinct stages. Look for yourself in the west any clear night before 9 o’clock.

FACTORY PROPOSITION DISCUSSED WEDNESDAY.

Public Meeting Discusses Project with Officers of Gardener Automatic Fuel Feed Company.' A. G. Dicus, George Gardener and John J. Kartheiser, representing the Gardener Automatic Fuel Feed Co., of Chicago, edme to Rensselaer Wednesday In response to an invitation from the Rensselaer Commercial Club to discuss the proposition of locating their factory in Rensselaer. A public meeting was held in the east court room and was quite largely attended. Mr. Gardener explained his inventions and told of their successful operation where installed. Mr. Discus, who is an attorney And who has an interest in the company, followed with a statement of two plans that they would consider as an inducement to locating here. Either plan involved the construction of two brick buildings for the factory. One asked a flat bonus of something like s7\ooo or SB,OOO, <, and the other asked for the purchase of SIO,OOO worth of stock, which would be oue-fifth of the stock of the company. This plan would give the Commercial Club representation on the board of directors of the company. The company agreed to inetal machinery for the manufacture of their fuel stoker to the value of about $7,000 and to put in stock to the probable value of $2,000 and to bring here from 50 to 100 mechanics to work in the factory. The company was willing, the speaker said, to give a bond that the machinery would be installed and he thought might give a bond to further protect the Commercial Club from loss, but the details of this were not worked out. It was not required that the buildings be deeded to the company until they had complied with certain conditions. They wanted 5 acres of ground included with the buildings. It was not necessary either that the bonus all be paid in cash. They were willing that this should be paid along following the starting of the plant but wanted it to count upon. Several questions were asked and frankly answered, but there seemed to be nothing likely to materialize at the public meeting and after a number had withdrawn the directors took the matter up and submitted a proposition slightly at variance with the conditions asked by Mr. Dicus. They asked that the company give a bond to indemnify them against loss in case the operation was not successful, even to the point of taking the buildings off the hands of the Commercial Club in case of failure. Mr. Dicus said that he thought this a difficult matter to cover by a bond. No further steps were taken and the visitors said they would return to Chicago and think the proposition over. It is probable that the directors would modify the cohditions if terms might be agreed upon. The proposition met some objection, largely based upon the embryonic stage of the company. Some thought that the amount asked was too much and others thought that it was not the factory for Rensselaer. President Worland is heartily in favor of the factory and willing to meet the gentlemen at least half way and try to make a deal. Secretary Spitler also favors the factory. The outcome at this time does not look auspicious for securing the fartory.

Mrs. A. J. Bellows, Mrs. B. N. Loy and Mrs. C. E. Mills went to Gary today to attend a convention of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society >t the Presbyterian church. Mrs. G. A. Thomas, of Monticello, was also a delegate to the convention. She came over here last evening and remained over night with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin. Mrs. Mary D. Eger went to Chicago yesterday and that afternoon at Wesley hospital underwent a slight surgical operation. Her son, Cleve Eger, and wife, were with her.

County Appoints Members of County Board of Tax Review.

Judge Hanley has appointed John Biggs, of Wheatfleld, and Ed Reeve, of Rensselaer, as the two extra members of tbe county board of tax review to co-operate with the auditor, treasurer and assessor in adjudicating disputed tax matters and in reviewing the work of the township assessors. Tbe Republican believes and always has that no township in Jasper county with a population of less than 1,000 is entitled to a saloon in counties where the commissioners established that basis, but it is difficult to determine what the courts will think about the matter. There can be no doubl that the intention of the Proctor law was to make the township a unit to determine whether a saloon should be permitted. It would seem that thi provision for population qualification would control, but so prominent an authority as the attorney-general of the state does not care to risk an opinion in tbe matter. It will not be surprising to any if the editor of the Jasper County Democrat will find the supreme court with a different opinion from his own. That being the case, there is but one way to decide the matter and that is by an election. Ord, .» h. Repubtlcui.

Rheumatism Cams From Bad Kidneys Once Tour Kidneys Work Property, Rheumatism* Kidney Dlmam jrf Bladder Trouble Disappear. Bow To Coro Yonrnell It is no longer necessary to spend months and months undergoing a complicated treatment for rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a good many dollars In doctors' bills. A new treatment can now be obtained which seems to act more like a marvel than a medicine. This treatment has produced such satisfactory results in a short time that It Is now guaranteed from first to last. There should be no more doubt about the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears of the fatal termination of treacherous kidney disease or dropsy. Rheumatism means nothing mors not less than that your 'kidneys do not work properly. Tour blood passes through the kidneys hundreds of times a day to be filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are not taken out of the blood as they should be. This leads bo various diseases. such as rheumatism, terrible Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy and bladder trouble. The new guaranteed treatment is Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills. One day's use of them will prove their remarkable effect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima, Ohio, says: "When I feel bad In my back, I Just take a cbuple of Derby's Kidney Pills and get Immediate relief." If you have rheumatism anywhere, back pains, cloudy, foul urine, pains In the bladder, Bright’s disease or diabetes, put your whole coilfldence in Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills, and you will not be disappointed.
