Opening Day at Watts de Peyster School and Monnett Hone.

The exercises of opening day at Watts de Peyster School and Monnett Home began with a very instructive and spiritual talk by Rev. Gre j n of the Baptist church. He chose for his

talk the story of the nameless 1 title serving maid of Naaman the Syiian. Her fidelity and unselfish devotion to her God were instrumental in healing her master’s leprosy at the hand< or Elisha the prophet. He told the story very simply and beautifully u) the children, impressing upon them that each one of them could act as a messenger of good tidings to the sin sick ones of the sorrowing world. ~ In the afternoon; visitors and members of the school were delighted by instrumental music rendered by Miss Florence Godshall. After a duet, “Only a Word," Rev. Parrett of the Presbyterian church gave a short talk to the children, impressing upon the’-, ideals of education and Christian life. Rev. Winn of the Christian chu.- a also spoke of the work at Mouaet: Home, setting before the' children a beautiful type of consecration and service. Following this came a song by the children, “Bring Them In,” and an instrumental solo by Miss Godshall. At the request of some one present the children recited some Bible verses which closed the afternoon program.

The visitors expressed much pleasure at the improvements which have taken place at the school this year. They were sorry to learn, however, that the house will be full up to the doors with the twenty children who have been enrolled, allowing no room for the dozen more who are applying. The evening program took place at the Methodist church, the pastors of all the Protestant churches closing prayer meeting early that they and their people might unj,te with the Methodist people. The entire services were in charge of the workers at the Monnett Home. After the opening song and scripture reading, one of the deaconesses lead in prayer. A duet, “Lord Speak to Me,” was part of the program. The field secretary spoke briefly of deaconess work, emphacising its magnitude and influence and making an appeal for the co-oper-ation and prayers of the Christian people of Rensselaer. This was followed by the beautiful solo, “He was not Willing that Any Should Perish.” Rev. Harper closed the exercises of the day with a soul-stirring prayer of Christian fellowship and interest. Superior and Hoosier grain drills are sold by Hamilton Kellner.

TONIGHT’S PROGRAM —o—THE GREAT HEART OF THE WEST. THE SPINSTER S MARRIAGE.

SCHOOL PATRONS BRING SUIT AGAINST ED LANE.

Jay W. Stockton and Everet Greenlee Ask Pay for Taking Their Children to School. Two suits were recently filed against Edward Lane, trustee of Newton township, seeking to secure payment for hauling the children of the plaintiffs to district schools.

One action is brought J»y Jay W. Stockton in the name of the State and is directed against Lane as trustee and his bondsmen, Jos. E. Thomas, D. S. Makeever, Jos. Lane and James Lane.

The plaintiff sets out that h<? resided with his family in scohol district No; 1 and that the school in that district was discontinued and that his three children were transferred to district No. 4. He sets forth that Trustee Lane asked an appropriation from his advisory board of SSOO for hauling children, ten in number, to schools remote from their homes; that be resided 1% miles from the school where his children were assigned and that the SSOO appropriated was sufficient, if bandied economically to have taken all the children. He states that the trustee neglected and refused to provide a means for hauling his children and that he was compelled to provide means himself; that to do so required him to keep an extra horse and buggy and an extra man to do the driving, and that he should be reimbursed in the sum of $250 and attorney fees. Everet Greenlee brings a similar action, but brings his ->action against Newtcgi school township instead of against the trustee personally. He alleges similar failure on the part of the trustee to provide means of travel for his two children and states that he was compelled to provide means himself through part of the 1903 school year and through all of the 1910 school year. He asks pay for 226 days amounting to $339.

Mr. Stockton states that he can show some rank partiality in the mat ter of treatment accorded different school patrons and will show that In one case the trustee allowed a patron for taking his own children when the wagon went directly by his door and that in another case the trustee refused to allow children to ride in the paid wagon, although the wagon did go by the door. Don’t believe us. We might lie. Come in and judge for yourself. Buy a pair. Wear them. Then tell your friends that we do sell better shoes for less money than else in the county. VanArsdeTk

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1911.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ORDER TWO ELECTIONS.

Carpeater and Newton Townships to Pass on Traction Company Sub* sidles on October 14. Upon petitions asking that elections be held in . Carpenter and Newton townships to decide the proposition of voting a 1% per cent tax support for the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., the line promoted by Eugene Purtelle, the commissioners ordered elections held in each township on October 14th. Purtelle filed with the commissioners what he purported to be a bond to guarantee the cost of the election in the road built. The so-called bond is nothing more than a promise from the Indiana Northwestern Traction Company, with Eugene Purtelle as president, to protect the townships from loss, and judged from other transactions of Purtelle and his company, would be of no value. In the Newton township matters the so-called bond was not even signed. The leading petitioners, -01. C. Halstead and B. M. Makeever, in Newton township, had asked the commissioners not to order the election unless a good and sufficient bond was furnished. Th& commissioners evidently considered the bond fulfilling those grounds, but it is doubtful if k voters will do so. Why Purtelle does not make good on his own propositions when it is of such vital importance to his project is another of the mysteries connected with that very uncertain gentleman. • The commissioners transacted considerable other business, mainly with ditches and roads. The Borntrager, Burris, Sparling, Besser, Wortley, Kroeger, Rupert, Davisson, Smallfelt, Culp, Hoover, Prevo, Merry, Gish, Prouty, Akers, Halstead, Lewis, VanGundy, Delehanty, Maxwell, Randle, Davis and Harry Gifford ditches were continued without action. The Frank M. Reed ditch was ordered established. Expense account approved and ordered paid. Attorney’s fee SBO. C. H. Sternbdrg petition for drainage; amended report filed; ditch .established; W. Frank Osborne appointed superintendent; A. Halleck allowed SSO attorney’s fee. Samuel Huggins petition for ditch; cause referred to drainage commissioners; Dexter R. Jones appointed third commissioner. Ordered to meet at office of Jasper Guy, in Remington, Sept. 18th, to qualify and report at October term.

All bridges petitioned for in various townships were continued except cause No. 1732 in Milroy township, which was dismissed. C. J.

ST. JOSEPH COLLEGE ENJOYS GOOD GROWTH.

Enrollment Shows Proportionate Increase—Changes in Faculty— Other College News.

The inauguration of the forty-first term of academic work took place at St. Joseph’s College last Thursday. The enrollment of students has increased tn due proportion with the former development of the institution, in fact, there is very little unoccupied space in any of the college buildings. Moreover, the outward appearance of the new student body augurs well for a most successful scholastic year. Nearly all the members of the old faculty are again at their posts of duty. The new board of directors, however, found it fit to introduce a few changes. Rev. B. Besinger, who for nine years was active disciplinarian, was called to a pastoral charge at Bryant, Ind.; Rev. Id. Rapp is the present incumbent of that most difficult position. Rev. A. Scheidler will act as Father Rapp’s assistant. Rev. Justin Henkel, of St. Francis, Ohio, appointee to the college faculty. Th. Sauer is succeeded by T. F. Kramer as director of the athletic department. Prof. J. Nowak, of Denver, Colth, will be assistant music teacher to Prof. W. Leo Havorkd. Rev. Sylvester Hartman, C. PP. S., returned on Wednesday evening from his extensive trip through Europe. Father Hartman's health is much improved, and he is ready to enter upon /his academic A duties with renewed spirit and energy. During the course of the year he will deliver some talks about the interesting phases of his wide travels.

Cyrus Staib and Herman Gabel, of last year’s class, and Henry Grimmeisman, ’O9, on last Thursday sailed for Europe, where they will continue their studies at the world famous University of Innsbruck. A large number of visitors were with us during the last week, mostly the parents, guardians or friends of the new students.

Woman’s Home Missionary Society Given a Silk Flag.

The Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the M. E. church, which was organized in June, 1909, has accomplished such excellent results in the local field that it has just received through the Conference Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. W. Bent Wilson, of Lafayette, a fine silk flag, which came Tuesday anji was seen by members that afternoon at the home of Mrs. Leslie Clark, where the meeting was held. The society has an active and growing membership and the flag is a reward of merit that will doubtless stimulate greater efforts for future accomplishment

BOOSTERS OFF AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING.

Number of Autos Increases From Twenty-Five to Thirty-Five and More are Coming In. That “Be a Booster” business brought buoyant results. The number of booster autos has increased to thirty-five according to the latest report and more are coming in. • The pilot car will leave promptly at 7 o’clock, according to dope givep out today, and all car owners are expected to be ready to get away at that time. It looks like the best auto excursion event ever inaugurated in northwestern Indiana. And the fellow that don’t enjoy the visit to our neighbors would not be able to appreciate a visit from his mother-in-law.

Get a horn; get a megaphone; make a big noise; whoop up the horse show; enjoy yourself while booming for a big crowd next week. Use plenty of penants. Don’t forget the hour. Get your car in readiness tonight for the start.
