Stock Company Again With Us—Delor? Pleased Audience.

The theatrical stock company reorganized since last year, gave its initial performance at the Ellis Theatre Tuesday evening to a fair sized audience. The play was “Dolores,” a pretty western drama to which the audience seemed to take from the rise of the curtain and which held their interest until the end. The scenic equipment was unusually fine. Miss Jessie Stewart, who was one of the favorites last year, is again with the company. The name selected last year, “Our Stock C 0.,” will again be used, although the correct name is the Gano-Mei 1 scm 00., the -senior member of the company being Mr. Ralph Gano, who made many friends here last year. The company will play About the same circuit it did last year, which included Lowell, Kentland and Monticello. Miss Forrester in the title .role, “Dolores,” pleased everyone who saw her and it seems that she is sure to become an idol, around the entire circuit travelled by the company. Mrs. 'Forrester will play Vere Herbert in “Moths” tonight. Other members of the cast are strong and Mr. Gano will doubtless enjoy a fine season with his ■excellent company. Tonight and tomorrow night they will be at the Ellis again. The bill tonight is “Moths,” a dramatization of Ouida’s famous novel. It is a society drama that should appeal especially to an intelligent audience. Tomorrow night a comedy-drama will be played.

Because it is not controlled by a check (or night damper, as it is often called) that admits cold air between the combustion chamber and the chimney, thus causing the fire to die. The fire in this type of heater, using the check-damper, is simply kept from going out during the; night, and really does not burn wnile the damper is drawn. With the SEARCHLIGHT UTILITY such conditions do not exist. By means of the "Heat-Regulating Damper” a slow combustion is maintained throughout the entire night, and in the morning the room is warm and comfortable. These statements in regard to the “Searchlight Utility” are facts. We know what this stove will do, as we have used it for three years in our own home* and money could not buy it if another could not be obtained. We will sell this stove on 30 daya’ trial; if not satisfactory, we will refund your money and take the stove. You will certainly make a mistake if you fail to see this marvelous heater before you buy. E. D. RHOADES & SON, Rensselaer, Indiana

Reciprocity Causes Big Fight In Canada, Says J. L. Brady.

J. L. Brady and wife visited several days hi Canada during the trip from which they just returned. Mrs. Brady has a brother in business in Hamilton and they spent three days in that city and found it filled with progress. People are busy, good prices prevail and apparently all Canada is enjoying an «ra of prosperity. The campaign is dii progress there •and the hottest fight imaginable is on between the progressives and conservatives. The former favor Canadian passage of the tariff tre’atj’ with America and the conservatives oppose it. That is the issue in the campaign and it is the hottest campaign that has taken place in Canada for years. In the east or manufacturing centers there is stiff opposition to the passage of the reciprocal treaty, the claim being made that Canada will lose its independance if it permits such a treaty with the states. They claim that it is merely an entering wedge to further treaties that will soon made Canada dependant upon this country. The newspapers there are indulging in a lot. of mudslinging tactics and practically every voter is enthused about the coming election and the bearing it will have on the measure now up for passage. Mr. Brady was surprised to find so deep interest there when our people had taken but little concern about the measure passed by the recent special session of congress.

Better Crowd at Horse Show Today—Weather is Threatening.

The heavy rain Thursday morning, the rain again last night and the threatening conditions that have prevailed all day have doubtless kept many people away from the horse show. Today there is a good sized crowd present but not nearly what might have been expected under better weather conditions. The horse show today is good and is complimented by horse judges. The diving horses have proven a great attraction and last night a large crowd waited until 10 o’clock to see the brave little animals perform their stunt T he boxing kangaroo and freak animal show is doing a very good business. The vaudeville show opened up Thursday night and had a very good business. Mr. Meek, the manager of the shows, has not yet returned from Chicago where he went to procurejprother attractions. He wired to have the tent put up for the Minstrel show and the colored singers and dancers are expected to arrive this evening and to give a. show tonight. The various concessions seem to be doing a very good business and judged from the number of rigs at the hitch barns the crowd is almost as large as it wds the biggest day last year, notwithstanding the un favorable weather conditions. —-_ Wadena’s hall team came over this afternoon and is Engaged in a game with the Wrens this afternoon.

ARE YOU GOING TO INDIANAPOLIS WEDNESDAY

Yon Are Sure an Odd Fellow If You Are Not.—One Hundred or More Will Go From Jasper. 1 John Priest, traveling passenger agent of the Monon, came to Rensselaer this Friday morning to ascertain how many Odd Fellows were going to Indianapolis to attend the meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. He found that District Deputy Charles E. Simpson was working up all the enthusiasm he could and that many Odd Fellows will attend from this section. It had been hoped to take a hundred from Jasper county, but it looks now as though the number would not be that large. Mr. Priest informed him that the Monon wanted to do all it could to make the trip to the state capital a pleasant onfe and that it will have a special upholstered coach attached to'the 4:45 train next Wednesday morning for the ■ Rensselaer Odd Fellows. Returning the coach will be set into the depot at Indianapolis _at 11 o’clock Wednesday night and persons may enter it at that hour and rest until the leaving time of the train, about 2:45 in the morning. They will arrive home at 5:30, on the train that is not scheduled for regular stops here. Mr. Simpson thinks that from forty to fifty will go from here and he will be pleased to have that number increased very much. Wheatfield members will go in good numbers also, but they will probably go to Medaryville and with the lodge from that town. Remington Odd Fellows will not be represented probably in very large numbers, as the horse show will be on at that place. 1 It will be the greatest meeting of Odd Fellows ever held in the state and all who attend it will doubtless feel well repaid for having done so.

We want eve’ry man, woman and child who is in Rensselaer during the horse show to visit us and get ideas for fall footwear. We promise to extend courteous treatment., whether you buy or not. Ffendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block.
