SCHOOL BOARD WILL ASK COUNCIL FOR APPROPRIATION.

Utility es New Assembly Hall Canses ’ Favorable Action and Same Will Doubtless Be Built. The school board held a meeting Monday night and discussed the project of erecting the proposed assembiv hall and gymnasium, hitherto described in this paper. Superintendent -Warren was present and stated that not a single discordant note had been heard about the project and he believes that the people unanimously approve the plan of placing the Rensselaer schools on a higher plane by the erection of the additional building. The board thereupon adopted a resolution which will be presented to the city council at its next meeting asking tfeat the money be provided for the improvement. When this is completed it will put the Rensselaer school on a par with the schools of the much larger* cities and afford a better opportunity for instruction in the manual training branches, for which there is a general demand.

William Forbes, for many years a doorkeeper in the national house ot representatives, was a Rensselaer visitor today. He is now a traveling salesman, having lost his position by virtue of the change in the political complexion of the house. His home Is in Monticello and he is well known by many of our people. A cow belonging to Eli Gerber died Monday afternoon after suffering for several hours from a strange disease, that is thought possibly to have been hydrophobia. Dr. Gwin, the city health officer, sent the head to the state laboratory for analysis and will probably receive a report tomorrow. Jim Reed lost a calf Saturday from what seems certainly to have been the disease. The animal frothed at the mouth and bellowed for several hours and ran through the hedge fence and cut up capers much the same as the Gangloff boys’ calf that died several weeks ago. Lodts H. Swartz was in from south of town yesterday to have a dog bite cauterized. Sunday morning he went to the home of his farm neighbor, Jake Hensler, on an errand and Jake’s dog slipped up and took a snap at him. One tooth penetrated the calf of the leg through his trousers and underdrawers, barely breaking the skin. There was nothing Ao indicate that the dog was afflicted with rabies, but after Louis thought the matter over a few hours he decided that he had best be on the safe side and have the bite cauterized. The dog had been muzzled until just a few minutes before, when Mrs. Heusler took the muzzle off so that the dog could catch a chicken.

Did you ever see a star In daytime? One can be seen now, even on the brightest sunshiny day, and at noon.it you knew where to look for it. It ’■ Venus, now the evening star, which blazes out in the west so brightly just after sunset. Venue is now approaching its farthest distance from the sun, and because of thia fact gets far enough away from the bright orb to shine out by its own reflected light, even in the face of the sun. Venus is about three hours behind the sun—that is, east of it. That means that when the sun is at zenith, Venus is about one-half way down the zenith to the eastern horison; or, when the sun is une-half way down from the noon mark to the western horison, Venues at zenith.

Will Try to Grow Medicinal Herbs on Farm at Pembroke.

William Gillis and family have come from Chicago and settled on*a 15-acre tract of land at Pembroke, a milk station on the Monon railroad a short distance north of Fair Oaks. They were sent there by Drs. Breen and Freeman, medicine manufacturers of Chicago, for the purpose of cultivating various medicinal herbs. Mr. Gillis was in Rensselaer over night and talked to a reporter for The Republican about the' project. He said that the main herb they would raise woul'! be golden seal, more commonly called yellow paccoon. This formerly grew in large quantities and consequently sold for small price, but it is now very scarce and is worth $4 to $6 per pound. It must be raised in the shade and only certain kinds of soil are adapted to it. Mr. Gillis has had some experience in its cultivation and if the experiment proves satisfactory it is intended to purchase more ground and go into the cultivation extensively. The raising of ginseng, which is now valued at $7.50 per pound, will also be undertaken.

New Head of Town of Surrey May Be Kaiser of Surrey.

W. R. Lee continues to branch out in-the grocery business and it begins to look like he was trying to' get a corner on the stores in Jasper county. He agreed on terms of purchase for the Surrey store Monday and invoicing has begun. G. L. Thornton will retire after having conducted the business for about a year and a half. It is probable that Mr. Lee will place Lon Kaiser in charge of the Surrey store. Lon has had a fine training in the grocery business, having worked for several years for J. A. McFarland before going to work in the Home Grocery. When the Aix store was taken over by Mr. Lee recently ne placed “Duke” Nichols in charge and naturhlly the public speaks of him as “The Duke of Aix.” They will probably term Lon “The Kaixer of Swcrey." If Walter can find a King or a Prince or a Dowager Empress to put in charge of future stores he may buy, he will have the largest titled family in the U. S.

Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan Presented to The King.

Chaimers Dispatch. Levi Reynolds has occasion to congratulate himself on account of having received direct word from King George of England. Recently he wrote a letter to his nephew, Earle Reynolds, champion roller skater of the world, who with his wife is appearing in London in the unique act. At the close of the letter he added a postscript stating “Give my regards to King George.” Recently Mr. Reynolds gave a performance at which both the King and Queen were present At the close of this, they were presented to both the King and Queen, and Mr. Earle Reynolds- was permitted a few minutes conversation with the King. He stated to the King that he was just in receipt of a letter from his uncle in the United States in which he sent his regards to the King. The King stated that he should inform his uncle that he was pleased to receive his regards and that he in return sent his regards to him. So “Bunky” has a distinction that is not enjoyed by. most of us.
