Leslie Alter, who was frightfully scalded in July, is now recovering very nicely and was able to be In town two or three days/last week. He can not bear the foot of the worst burned limb on the ground, but it is improving so satisfactorily that it is'believed he will not be much crippled. He has had a long and painful fight and will be mighty fortunate to escape permanent injury. The state board of accounts will hold an examination at the state house October 11 for persons who wish to qualify for appointments as field examiners. The department now has about sixty men at work. The law provides that one hundred men may be employed and the department wishes to establish a certified list from which to fill the requirement, although that many men may not be set at work at on<je. The Millionaire Tramp Co. opened Its season here Monday night. The company consists of people and the play is quite clever with a good plot interspersed with excellent comedy opportunities. The company was not running very smoothly when here, but seems to have enough talent to make a fine show when they have been out a few days. The soubretta. was especially strong and pleased the audience very much with a song in the second act. Tom Eigelsbach came down Sunday and joined his wife who had been visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eigelsbach for the past week. 1 They returned to Chicago this afternoon. Tom expressed a case of fresh eggs up on the morning train and had them sealed firmly on each side. Tom put us on to a new scheme to trick ; the efforts of city folks to get fresh ’ eggs. It is a common thing, he said, ’ for the eggs to be tampered with en ’ route. Some one along the line takes ’ out the fresh eggs and replaces them > with bad eggs, leaving a layer /pt ‘ fresh eggs on top. The trickery is not discovered until the layer of fresh ! eggs is used and then it Is too late to ! trace the trickery down. Tom used wire and lead seals on his and If the seal is broken there will bo troubll. Nothing but fresh eggs for mm.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IP, 1911.

WEAST UNLABELED GOODS WAS BRER ALL RIGHT.

Analysis by Pardue Chemist Shows That Some Contained 4.4 and Some 2A Per Cent AleohoL J. J. Weast was sure running a “blind tiger,” If the report made to Rev. J. P. Green by Edward G. Mahin, the assistant professor in chemistry at Purdue university, can be relied upon. Following the arrest of Weast, Rev. Green went to Purdue, taking with him twobottles of unlabeled goods, one of which Weast called “Jingo.” The bottles were left for an analysis of their contents and the report shows that the white bottle contained 4.4 per cent alcohol and that the dark bottle, which Weast called "Jingo,” contained 2.6 per cent alcohol. Beer contains about the same per cent alcohol as was found in the white bottle and there seems no doubt that it was beer. A number of persons living in and near Rensselaer, who ought to be judges of its taste and whose evidence * would be about as conclusive as that of a chemist following an analysis, say that it was beer.

The law does not permit the sale of 1 any beverage as a “spft” drink that contains more than one-half of one percent alcohol. The getaway of Weast seems to have been timely. Possibly the so-called “Homo” might also be chemically analyzed. The white bottled goods came from The Home Brewing Co., of Indianapolis, and the barrels in which it was shipped were not marked to show what they contained. The bill of lading showed that the barrels contained “Homo,” and it is believed that the brewing company is liable for prosecution for this deception. The dark bottled stuff, called “Jingo,” was procured from a Hammond company, whose business ought to be looked into. * z

Weast is just as absent as he was three hours after his arrest. It is reported that he walked out of town, going southwest toward Brook, keeping inside corn fields, when anyone came down the road. Finally he sighted some one whom he thought he could trust to help him escape and was taken to Morocco, where he procured a train. He is being represented here by Attorney Moses Leopold, who is patting up a fight against the forfeiture of his bond. The bond was not a signed bond, but simply a verbal acknowledgement that he Was bound in the sum of 3100 on each of the three cases to appear for trial at 3 o’clock Monday, Sept 11th. When he failed to appear Justice Irwin declared a forfeiture of the bond and so certified to the clerk of the circuit court Mr. Leopold for the defense, and J. A Dunlap for the state, argued the point Monday afternoon and again Tuesday morning and the court has not yet ruled. The Weast poolroom license was forfeited by the city council Monday night, when the council met is special session and he did not appear for a hearing. The confiscated goods are still at the county jail in charge of Sheriff Hoover and there they seem destined to remain. The law provides that upon the conviction of a man for selling intoxicating liquors in violation of law all confiscated goods shall be destroyed under supervision of the sheriff. Since Weast can not be found to be convicted the beer or near-beer will continue in the custody of ‘.he sheriff and will spoil in time if the sheriff don’t hold a stag party or leave the basement door unlocked some night and tip off a few friends. Born, Friday, Sept. 15th, to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Callahan, of Newland, a daughter and their fourth child. J. L. Alter, of Carpenter-township, was a visitor In Rensselaer today. He is known as the "Hoosier traveler,” having been largely over the west on several trips. He drives a horse and buggy and makes his way by lecturing and selling his literary effusions. He was injured by being struck by an automobile several days ago and is scarcely able to be on his feet Major D. F. Allen, of Frankfort, twice the democratic candidate for congress in the 9th district, died at Frankfort last Saturday morning He wks 68 years of age and served in both the civil and Spanish-American was. He began his career by driving a. stage between Frankfort and Colfax, Ind., carrying the United States mails, before Frankfort had a railroad. yi * Don’t let the baby suffer from ecsema, sores or any itching of the skin.

DENIED DIVORCE WAS MARY PIERCE MICHAL.

Girl Wife of Young Farmer Unable to Secure Decree—Sequel to St. Joe Elopement.

Judge Hanley this Tuesday morning rendered his decision in the suit for divorce brought by Mary Pierce Michal against Vern Michal, denying the decree. Judge Hanley stated that he did not think the grounds sufficient for divorce and in the presence of the attorneys, J. A. Dunlap and Frank Foltz for the plaintiff and Moses Leopold for the defendant, rendered the adverse decision. It is not often that a divorce is denied in the Jasper circuit court, or in any other court; generally because the circumstances are such that there can be no question about the plaintiff being entitled to the decree, and it is a rare thing that the defendant appears in,a divorce case in this county. The public did not know that the case was-coming up for trial and that the defendant intended to fight it, or the court house would have been crowded. No separation of husband and wife has been more discussed in Jasper county than that of Vern Michal and his wife and the public has all the time believed that 1 there was not sufficient trouble between the principals to justify a separation. People have been saying “What a pity,” whenever their separation was discussed, and the failure of the plaintiff to procure a divorce has been generally predicted. The plaintiff appeared in the court room clad in a white sailor waist with, a sailor collar fringed with pink, a rose colored skirt and a felt hat trimmed in velvet ribbon. Her cheeks were flushed with crimson and she looked very attractive as she took the witness stand to tell of the causes she thought Sufficient to justify a legal separation. In the' beginning of her testimony she stated that they were married May 28, 1910, and that they lived together until October 15, 1910. She was asked about their difficulties and she said that various things led up to their separation, first starting with his effort one morning to make her get up first and she -stated that he pushed her out of bed. Then one time later, after she had picked berries for canning, she came back to the house in the evening feeling sick and went to bed. She said that Vern was angry and refused to speak to her when he came to their room to retire. She stated that his parents came out there and lived with them and that caused her to worry because she was not consulted about everything that took place in the house. Later she said that Vern forbade her going to seeker mother and refused to let her speak to her mother or her sisters. She told how they went to her home the Thursday night after they were (Continued on Page Four.)

Important Notice.

Collegeville, Ind., Sept. 19, 1911. To whom it may concern: That visitors have always.been, and still are, welcome at St. Joseph’s College, is a well known fact. But since the return of the students, there are certain young ladies, unchaperoned, who make it their business to visit the college premises, not the buildings. Since they cope from the direction of the city, the presumption is in favor of their having a habitation in Rensselaer. Such visitors as are not willing to gain admission to the college grounds by applying at the main entrance are not welcome, but it would be advisable for them to seek other pleasure parks for their rambles. The students are not at the college for the exercise of flirtations; and if the .1 levity-mined parties concerned are not awaribof this, there are pome effective means of bringing that knowledge home to them. The college authorities are prepared to care for and protect the young men whom parents or guardians have placed under their guidance and protection. ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE. z James Snedeker and John Hayes yesterday completed the* remodeling of- the Newland school house, and the schools at that place Immediately started. Miss Mary Iselman went to Dunn today to visit the family of Philip Kistner.
