Famous Juvenile Judge and Graft Exposer of Denver Will Address Big Audience Tomorrow. Judge Ben B. Lindsay, of Denver, Colo., famous for his reforms and his helpfulness to struggling humanity, and author of the “Beast in the Jungle,” a startling exposure of graft in ' Colorado, will speak at Fountain Park tomorrow, Thursday afternopn, at 3 o’clock. The world-wide reputation of the speaker and the nation-wide approval which his reforms have received should cause every person in Jasper county to desire to hear his address. The Rensselaer boys’ band will give a concert at 2:30 and again at 7:20 in the evenings Dr. Calhoun will deliver a sermon-lecture in the morning, and in the evening at 8 o’clock, Dr. Joseph H. Griffiths, in costume, will deliver “the story of Tahan—the white savage.” The dally attendance is good and it is hoped to have Thursday a banner day. Rensselaer people can spend the day profitably at the park. Every automobile in this city and vicinity should go loaded to Fountain Park to hear Judg? Lindsay.

Monday, Dr. H. L. Calhoun gave one of the four lectures be will deliver on. “The Old Testament.” No one should miss these lectures. Mrs. Almedla Waltz is receiving the praise of all as an entertainer. “The Art of Living One’s Life,” the lecture by Dr. T. B. Terhune, was enjoyed by a large audience of men and women. Rev. Terhune is pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Huntington, Ind., and is well known as a lecturer. The children were all anxiously looking forward to the evening entertainment by Mr. WL A. McCormick and his trained dog Bronte, and they were not disappointed. She amused and mystified all present by her wonderful mindreading. Mr. McCormack must have spent considerable time in educating this wonderful dog. The lecture Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Joshua Stanfield on "The Hero of Babylon” was the best given so far in Fountain Park. The lecture is strong in ‘ thought and very rich in historic information. Full of enthusiasm all are looking forward with expectation to his lecture on Wednesday.

We 'were oat of “Arlstos” flour • short time, but we have Just received another car, making the tenth car of flour, of 210 barrels each, making two thousand and two hundred ‘barrels since January i, 1911. More flour than all of the balance of the merchants of the city have handled. Quality Is what sells flour. We guarantee “Aristos” to be the best flour made, or money returned. JOHN EGER. Mrs. Ed Lobb and little Miss Vera Baker returned to Pontiac, 111., today, after a visit at the home of J. N. Baker, In Barkley township.

FANTASTIC PARADE TO BE HORSE SHOW FEATURE.

Novel Masking to Be Encouraged for Thursday Night, With Prizes for Best Masked Ones. One feature that should prove a splendid one at the horse show, is to be a fantastic parade to take place Thursday night, Sept, 14th. H. F. Parker has been placed in charge of the parade and he will be assisted by George H. Healey. A fantastic parade is one that consists of individuals masked according to their own Wishes and then organized into a procession and marched about the streets in view' of spectators. To be a success at least a hundred people must agree to mask and to be a monstrous success it should consist of about 500 people. The masking should be as grotesque as is possible and every masker should use all the ingenuity he or she possesses in the. preparation of their costume. Clowns should be on hand in great numbers, and there should be every imaginable design of man in the parade. The druggists will have plenty of masks and no one need ever know who any of the masked ones are if they wish to keep it a secret. This is an opportunity for a lot of good amusement as well as a chance to help make a success of this feature of the horse show, and people from both town and country are urged to mask for the occasion. There will be three prizes. The first award will get $lO, the second $5, and the third $3. Here is a chance to show what you can do.

Lake County Fair Will Be Held At Crown Point Next Week.

The Lake county fair, at Crown Point, begins next Thursday, August 22nd, and continues until Friday night. This fair has a reputation of delivering the goods to its patrons apd the show this year will far exceed any previous one by long odds. The great feature this year'will be the racing and the two $«00 stake races will go with at least fifteen starters in each race. Horses are arriving at Crown Point from every point of the compass and they are coming so fast that it is necessary to build new stables this week. At least a hundred horses will be entered. The night show or carnival will alilo be a feature. The amusements consist of a great fireworks display nightly, band concerts, free acts by a dozen of the best artists in the country, and midway attractions. A great crowd from this vicinity is preparing to go. The stake races are scheduled for Thursday and Friday. John Duvall, of this city, has Hattie Vest entered in the 2:24 trot stake for Thursday, August 24th.

John Duvall is now the owner of Hattie Vest, the little mare formerly owned by Judge Hanley and is this week at Wlarren, Ind., and next week will be at the Crown Point fair. The mare will be driven by John in a S4OO stake race Thursday of next week and it is probable that a number will will go from here to Crown Point to attend the fair and see the race. It has been suggested that autolsts can have a fine day by going to Crown Point that day to attend the fair. Those who would like to see affair started at Rensselaer should visit Crown Point. The grounds are said to be among the best in Indiana and a good fair is always held there.

Joe Hardman and Ray Wood returned last evening from a two days’ fishing trip at the Kankakee. They were fairly successful, getting a number of bullheads and a few goggleayes.

Mars, Saturn and the Moon In Astral Phenomenon Tonight.

A most interesting and beautiful astral < phenomenon will take place Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week. Mars and Saturn will be in conjunction Wednesday night, and the following night Mars, Saturn and the moon will be in conjunction. Mars apparently will pass very close to Saturn and, to the naked eye, Wednesday, it will appear as bright as a double star, since the distance between the two will be only twenty-one minutes of an arc, or about two-thirds the apparent width of the moon. Mars will pass north of Saturn and the moon will be on the left or east of the planets. It t will be close Wednesday, but Thursday the three will almost appear as one. Except for the moon the two planets will be the brightest objects in the sky Wednesday night. Mars is very bright now, almost as bright as Venus. Saturn also is bright, and the two together will form a sight well worth looking at. They will rise about 10 o’clock central time, and stay together ail night side by side. They will be very conspicuous. / A Classified Adv. will find it.

Paul Possin could not persuade his girl wife to leave the home of Bernice Brown, near Kirklin, where she had gone with her former young sweetheart, G&ssie Brown, after her marriage to Possin. All of his promises and pleadings failed change her mind and she flatly told her husband of a few hours that she regretted her hasty act in marrying him and would not live with him. She said that she would stay with the Browns if they would let her and they said she might stay. Tuesday Mrs.' Possin’s father. Charles Gilmore, of DeMotte, went to Kirklin and tried his hand at persuading his daughter to return to Possin, but this was of no avail. Both Possin and Gilmore returned to Rensselaer and another scheme was determined upon. Mrs. O. A. Brown, mother of Bernice and Gossie, went to Kirklin Tuesday night. She said that she was determined that Mrs. Possin could not stay at the home of her married son, and that she would inform her that her duty was to return
