Winn, the new Christian minister, who had expected to get the house, will now probably take Albert Brand’s house, which he vacated last week when he moved in with his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John English^

Alf Donnelly has embarked this year in a new branch of the onion business. He has been investigating the raising of onion sets and this \ear raised 248 bushels on aboil a third of an acre. The price varies from a dollar to two dollars a bushel. His seed onions are very fine and he will have an immense crop. As many onion fields have been-almost ruined this year by grubworms, the price will be very high, in all probability.

The Valparaiso Messenger describes a dog fight that took place there between two dogs, one “a little one and the other a white one.” Nothing is said about the color of the little one nor the size of the white one. The white dog was getting the best of the battle and a big crowd of Valpo sports were enjoying the affair when the owner of the under dog rushed into the affray and plunged his knife into the head of the white dog. The owner of the stabbed dog howled longer than kthe dog did, and about half of Valparaiso suspended business to take part in the affray.

John Kresler brought a half dozen Summer Queen apples to The Republican office Saturday that in looks and douhfless in flavor are not excelled any place. They will be left on exhibition for a few days, unless our anxiety to eat them exceeds our hope that the public will view them. There are many fine apples in Jasper county this yp&r and if they could be handpicked and carefully packed, they would doubtless find a market. As it is, thousands of bushels will go to waste. Those Who have thought to moke vinegar, find that it is almost impossible to procure barrels to put the cider in. Many are drying them, spicing them, canning them, making apple butter, apple preserves and apple jelly. The crop will prove valuable in helping to solve the high cost of living and it is the first abundant crop in this part of Indiana for many, many years. Some trees look like the pictures shown in advertising western apple orchads, which looked almost too fine to be real. But we can believe them now, since we have them right here at home.

SCHOOL OPENS NEXT MONDAY—PROSPECTS FINE.

Points to Prosperous Y|ar, With Large High School Attendance —Mathematics Teacher Secured. School begins next Monday, September 4th. Everything looks propitious for a year of unprecedented success. The attendance will probably be the largest in the history of the schools, and it may be that we will be a little crowded in some grades. The reason so large an attendance is expected is occasioned by the fact that all the houses in Rensselaer are occupied and there is a demand at this time for u number more houses. There was a large number of township graduates last year and many of these will enter the Rensselaer high school. Superintendent Warren sent to many of them a. letter inviting the attention of their parents to the advantages of the Rensselaer schools and he has already received a number of replies stating that the young people will enter the high school. It is certain that • the Freshman class will have sixty or more members, possibly as high as seventy-five. The record is seventysix.

-The corps of teachers looks abundantly able to impart learning and the new teachers in the grades and the high school have all' had extensive ex-‘ perience, and Superintendent Warren is feeling very much pleased at the outlook. The last vacancy in the corps of high school teachers was filled Saturday. The mathematics chair was vacant following the resignation of Prof. Bradshaw. This will be filled by Miss Alice E. Thompson, of Minneapolis, a graduate of the Minnesota state university and a teacher of six years’ experience. Parents of children living in the country should make an effort to give their children a further education after they have graduated from the common branches, and the advantages in Rqpsselaer are apparent. Graduates of former ears are filling positions and taking their places in the front rank wherevePsthey locate. Give your children a high school education if possible. It is the best money and the best time that can be spent in the making of citizenship.
