Jacob Loesgh.was allowed >2O damages. ’ Jerry Sherwood's assessment was in part only. The attorneys for the remonstrators made motion for a new trial. Thia will probably be argued Saturday, when the court will reconvene. If the new trial is hot allowed, 'as it will probably not be, the Browns and Pinney and‘a few others threaten to appeal. The court will probably appoint a superintendent of construction Saturday. He asked that the names ot qualified men be suggested to him so that he could investigate them. The report of the engineer and commissioners shows that the benefits to be derived from the construction will be >426,908.44. The estimated cost of construction is >328,29111. The changes in the assessments are not sufficient to defeat the project There has already been paid out in preliminary expenses for the ditch >6,985.49. and other expenses that have not been paid will probably ran. the preliminary cbsts up to >IO,OOO. That the construction of the ditch will be of marvelous benefit to the lands assessed Is confidently expected and it is probable that much land that now has practically no productive value owing io the fact that it is wet so much of the time, will be worth >IOO or more an acre when the improvement is completed. It is a forward step in drainage that will reclaim the northern end of Jasper county and the southern epd of Lake and Porter counties, if the Improvement Is eventually carried on to Momence, 111., there will be a still greater advantage to all lands in the Kankakee valley.

SIGMA CHI GATHERING AT HAZELDEN WAS GREAT.

S»THdn tl Held, Elm Prim. Big Eats, Laughable Sports and General Lively Time. When George Ade does a thing it is done right He did it Saturday in great shape. ' He entertained the Sigma Chi fraternity and had planned for a gathering of 180 of his old “frat” brothers and their wives and sweethearts, and there Were 230 to respond. But George Ade is never caught napping and while he had only expected 180 he had provided for more If they came and there was plenty and then some of everything, including the beautiful little souvenirs given to all who attended. The fraternity brothers were each given a hazel-

nut stickpin of gold. The ladies were each given a brooch, no two patterns being alike.' The Cosmopolitan Club of Kentland served the dinner and supper or the luncheon and dinner. It consisted of chicken, more chicken and about everything else and more of that, too. It was a full basket dinner, where everyone lays aside the reserve that goes with a society dinner, and “falls to eatin* ”, and don’t quit until they are satisfied. . Before the dinner there was a parade through the Hazelden grounds, the procession of the frats and affinities winding about the beautifully landscaped park and flower gardens. After dinner there were ball games galore. Champaign Sigma Chis beat Purdue brothers 11 to 0, while Northwestern defeated Chicago and then Champaign defeated Northwestern and won a fine silk flag for their chapter house. It was soft ball, of course, although some of the contestants were active ball players.

Then the Indiana alumni played the Illinois alumni. This let Charley Warner and Sam Sparling in the game. It was a condition of the competition that all team members were to equip themselves in stage make-up and Mr. Ade had a trunkful of make-up junk placed in a building appropriated for a dressing room. There was a lively time in getting into the duds and the result was eighteen startling figures. A parade of the characters was given before the ball farce started. Sam Sparling wore a suit of khaki with rat holes in the side that pointed to left field when he played third base. His blouse only came part way down the back. A low crown stiff hat of the “ghetto” type and a bunch of red spinach on his chin completed one of the most amusing of the make-ups. Indiana won the game, Warner playing a star game. Each member-of the winning team was given a picture, all different, and all scenes taken in the Hazelden grounds, and of which Mr. Ade was the central figure. There was a dance afternoon and evening and music all the time by Lonzo and Paul Healy. A magician or legerdamainist or prestidigitator performed all sorts of remarkable stunts before the eyes of the alert Sigma Chis, but was too smooth for the bbst of them.

There were grand prizes for all. The oldest member, the tallest, the shortest and a lot of others. There were daylight fireworks and paper balloons, ball throwing contests, affinity races, etc. Livingston Ross and Miss Georgia Harris were third in the affinity race and she received a very beautiful cologne bottle. About forty-five of the Sigma Chis from Lafayette came to Rensselaer In ten autos hired from Rensselaer and took the 11:05 night train for Lafayette. It was about the finest imaginable event and it was a happy bunch of frat men that tried to tell George Ade how delightfully they had been entertained.

“All the Comforts of Home” Next Bill by Our Stock Co.

Ofir Stock Co. will again be in Rensselaer Friday night, Oct. 6th, presenting the late Clyde Fitch’s famous farce comedy, “Ail the Comforts of Home.” Mr. Fitch was the author of such great successes as “Barbara Frietchie,” “Girls,” “Nathan Hale,” “The Blue Mouse,” “The City,” etc., and sustained his reputation in “All the Comforts of Home,” which had long runs in all the large cities of the United States and Canada. This is the first season that It has been released for stock and Mr. Gano was fortunate in securing it for so early a date. “All .the Comforts of Home,” shows how a man who has been out all night with the boys forgets to come home unfl the morning, and when questioned by his wife as to where he was, he tells her the truth and Is not believed, and in trying to square things tells her a He, which results In all kinds of trouble for himself and two hours and a half of solid laughs for the audience, until he convinces her that he was telling the truth in the first place. Mr. Chris Nielsen is now at work on a new set of scenery and promises that it will surpass anything yet shown in Rensselaer. The company are all busy rehearsing the new bill and a finished performance is assured all who attend. Reservations can now be made at the usual prices.
