It is the “Tlnymlte” of the corn belt and while only 16% inches in height, it has two ‘‘nubbin” ears growing on it The stalk has been placed alongside th,e giant stalk and will recall the story of Gulliver’s travels into the lands of the dwarfs and the giants.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1911,

MARVIN RENDERS DECISION IN DITCH ASSESSMENTS.

Special Judge Makes Changes in Assessments With Aim at Equali-zation-Ditch Will Be Built. * The Marble ditch will be built. . Special Judge Marvin’s finding after the long and exhaustive summer session of the court is being rendered this afternoon. It is said that a number of changes are being made in the assessments that were contested with a view to equalization, but the reductions will not be sufficient to defeat- the drainage improvement. A more complete report of the finding will be given when the court has completed the docket entries in the case. The interested attorneys and a number of the contestants were in the court room when the decision was being given.. Harvey Dexter was in from Union township today and is walking with quite a little limp. He was feeding the corn shredder at his farm last week wlien it exploded and he was considerably bruised up. It was a fortunate thing that he was not seriously injured or even killed, for the machine ran wild when the governor belt flew off and apparently some part, of it came loose and it literally flew all to pieces. Harvey and Ira Meader owned the shredder in partnership bua they are dubious about having it repaired for fear the same thing might happen again with even more disastrous results. Considerable progress has >been made at,the new depot this week, but it is probable that it will not be occupied much before Nov. Ist. The heating plant 4s being installed, the windows have bfeen set, the tile flooring is being laid, the new furniture for the office is being set and the brick platform built. But there is a lot yet to do before it will be ready for occupancy. The office is being furnished with some fine new oak furniture and Agent Beam will have a handsome office. The depot will be a great credit to Rensselaer, and our people are grateful to President Fairfax of the Monon. for having harkened to the appeal which his various predecessors had passed over. r mkmm Temple Hammerton, who was working for Mason Kenton, near Mitchell, S. Dak., when called home by the death of his father, expects to remain here during the winter. He reports the Rensselaer people at Mitchell all in good health. This year’s crop was a great disappointment, owing to drouth. Mr. Kenton’s wheat was so poor that he did not put the binder in the field at all. The corn, which looked like it would make a fair the middle summer, did not mature very well and Temple says there will be a lot of corn out there that won’t make 25 bushels to the acre. It is the first time that anything like a crop failure has struck Mitchell, however, and all are confident that next year will be another good one.

Lake County Hub Has High Tax Levy for Ensuing Year.

Crown Point Star. With additional tax put on by the city authorities and the extra tax made by the building of the new high school’ building, etc., Crown Point’s tax levy for next year will be $4.24 on the hundred dollars. That will make some of our people scratch gravel, but we must take what comes and feel thankful it’s no more. If we get the goodß for what is paid it is not so bad.

Get In Horse Show Bills and Orders.

All bills or premium orders pertaining to the recent horse show should be filed at once with the undersigned. Unless presented by Nov. Ist, orders will not be paid. It is important to get the business closed np as soon as possible. C. G. SPITLER. Secretary. I wish to announce to the public that I am now prepared to take bus calls.

Medaryville Men Enjoyed Visit To Saskatchewan Wheat Country.

Theodore Phillips, who was trustee of Gillam township a few years ago and who resigned to move away on account of bis wife's poor health, was a Rensselaer visitor over night. He returned to Gillam township three years ago. Mr. Phillips recently went to the wheat raising Saskatchewan, Canada, country, in company with J. R, Guild, Charles Guild ahd John Bush, all of Medaryville. J. R.

Mr. Warren paid $2,500 for a quarter section up there and before he left there with Mr. Phillips on the return trip he was offered $4,000 for it. Mr. Phillips was very much pleased and states that some of the cities in that part of Canada are the finest he has ever seen. He did not make an investment but may do so yet He is convinced that there is a great opportunity there for money making. Mr. Phillips is a son-in-law of J. R. Carr, the old gentleman who bought a small tract of land just north of Harvey Grant’s residence and built a small residence thereon. Mr. Carr has been visited for the past few weeks by his daughter, Mrs. O. K. Leigh, of Hutchinson, Kansas, who left for her home this morning.

Young Horse Thieves Arrested By Officers Near Brookston.

Monticello Democrat Last Saturday, the two youngest horse thieves in the state were arrested by the marshal of Brookston and later turned over to Marshal Metz, of Delphi, who took them to that city and placed them in jail. They were John Lovell and William King, aged 8 and 13 years respectively. Five days before they had stolen a horse and buggy from the hitch rack at Sheridan. They drove through several towns to Lafayette and thence to Brookston. The Delphi marshal had been notified to watch out for them and got trace of them headed toward Brookston. The lads seemed to have no realization of the crime they had committed, bat boasted about what they would do again if they got a chance. They were turned over to the Hamilton county authorities and will probably have to spend a few years at Plainfield. David Johnson, a Kentuckian, 50 years old, stabbed and fatally wounded Joseph Bidwell, a night patrolman at Wabash.
