ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCALS. ; Bom, this morning, Sept 12th, to Mr. and Mrs. William Greenfield, at Parr, a daughter. Washington street was cleaned in t&e business section yesterday in preparation for the horse show. Attorney A. D. Babcock and son James drove over from Goodland today to look after some court matters, cthe young man acting as stenographer for his father. T. K. Harmon, of Rugby, N. Dak., IS here to visit his brother, Jerome Harmon and family. He was formerly sheriff of Benton county. He has lived in Rugby for 23 years. About thirty-five from Rensselaer went to Hazelden yesterday afternoon, held a picnic, the men played soft ball and all had a good time. In the evening a dance was held, the music being furnished by Lonzo and Paul Healy. A. J. Harmon, now of Mitchell, S. Dak., who came to Chicago on business, came to Rensselaer this after-" noon for a short visit with his brother, L. A. Harmon, and old friends. Recent abundant rains have been very beneficial at Mitchell' and things are now looking mighty fine there. A telegram from Jamestown, Sc. Dak., states that Sidney Holmes, who went there from Newton township last spring, is dangerously sick with scarlet fever. Mrs. Mary E. Lowe, of Rensselaer, a sister of Mrs. Holmes, and Mrs. Walter Smith, of Wheatfleld, Mr. Holmes’ daughter, left for Jamestown yesterday. Attorney Frank Davis came over from Brook this morning to look after all matters pertaining to the office of prosecuting attorney. Prosecutor - Longwell is the superintendent of the Brook schools and is unable to give the matter his personal attention. Mr. Longwell found the salary of the prosecutor too small and the fees insufficient to make a living and as he had no other practice to speak of, he decided to accept the office of school superintendent. There are no important state cases coming up at this term of court.

Mrs. Jerome Harmon sent to The Republican office Saturday a box of big sweet apples, six in number, that are very large and well flavored. One measured 12x13 inches in circumference. This morning E. E. Powell, owner of the former Renicker farm, brought in seven apples of different kinds. He thinks that close to a car load of apples will go to waste on his place. One of the apples he brought measured 14% inches the largest way round. The recall idea will not live long in this country. It would be a powerful weapon in the hands of the unscrupulous and the scheming. People sign petitions indiscriminately, especially when they are not held personally responsible for the results. It would not be difficult to go out and procure the signatures of twenty per cent of the people to a petition asking for the application of the recall to the most efficient and honorable officer in &ny community. Under the recall an office would be a sort of an “Indian gift,” uncertain and undesirable. Elections come often enough, especially if people will take care to guard the primaries.—Starke County Republican.

As Sheriff Hoover was going to Remington Sunday he found a horse and buggy in the road. He took the horse to the farm residence of Henry Luers and asked that it be left there, but later Mr. Luers turned the horse loose, according to the sheriff. It went to the borne of Tom Kane, who took it up. Mr. Hoover learned that the rig had been stolen from Goodland and that there waif a SSO reward offered. He suggested to Mr. Kane that they split the money. After a little difficulty in adjusting the division of the reward they had in anticipation, the owner of the rig was called. He came after it and informed them that the reward was for the capture of the thief and not for the rig. He paid $3 for the expense the sheriff and Mr. Kane had been to. The work on the enlarging and remodeling of the Methodist church is progressing very nicely and an idea may be gathered by looking $t it in its present state as to how it will appear when finished. Beside the addition the entire building will be veneered with hard finishing brick. A cement foundation was built for the entire work, both old and new, thus making the construction all new and at the same time preserving all the old church intact. .Rev. Harper has worked with becoming energy during the entire time and has been both boss and laborer, watching every corner with an eye to economy. When completed the church will be a great source of comfort and pride to the members, and It seems a very timely improvement, as the old church was often too small to accommodate the crowds that wished to enter.
