Football Season Opens Saturday, When Locals Play Kentland H. S.

The football spirit is running aloft at the Rensselaer high school and a bunch of husky, eager athletes are ready for the game tomorrow after noon with Kentland. They are feeling confident of victory for the reason that a number from last year’s team are in this year’s line-up and also because the members of the team have been taking such deep interest in the training. Coach Parker has been whipping the lads through a lot of hard work during the past four weeks and muscle and; wind shpuld be in the very best condition for the opening contest. TJie kicking departments of the team have been developed and it is probable that the local team will use the drop kick and place kick whenever they get near enough to the Kentland goal. The Kentland high school will come here just as confident of victory and they will have the advantage of having played one game this fall and having won it, too. Last Saturday they defeated Watseka at Watseka by the score of 14 to 0. They journeyed to their neighboring town singing “Hang it on Watseka,” and they hung it good and high. They will sing the same song here tomorrow. .The Kentland Enterprise states that Watseka has a swift bunch of fellows and that they outweighed the Kentland boys, but were outplayed in every state of the game. Kentland is something in the drop kick line, too, and Chester Dickson put one between the poles from the 35-yard line. Alfred Arnold is said to be one of the best football men Kentland has ever had. He starred at Watseka. The Enterprise says: “Saturday of this week the Kentland team goes to Rensselaer, where they hope to win another victory.” If Rensselaer ever needed to win a game that was important in starting off a season, this is it. The football fans should all get out, to help them along by encouraging yells. Let’s get a good for a successful season.

EDWARD E. HEATH ASKS DIVORCE IN BENTON CO.

Former Residents of This City ‘to Be Principals in Divorce Action Brought at Fowler. Edward E. Heath, of Oxford, has brought action in the Benton countycourt for divorce from his wife, Anna Heath. She is a sister of Mrs. Colvert, of this city. For some time Mr. ad Mrs. Heath lived in Rensselaer, owning and occupying the house now owned by A. J. Bellows. They went from here to Oxford, near which town he has extensive Panning interests. Both Mr. and Mrs. Heath were highly esteemed here and it is a surprise to most of their acquaintances that they have reached the parting of their ways. Mr. Heath has become very deaf in recent years. __— He alleges cruel and inhuman treatment on the part of his wife. It is understood here that their differences are quite pronounced and that the separation has been mutually agreed upon and that his wife will not appear against him when the case is tried. They have two children, a married daughter and a son, who will make his home with his mother.

Chicago-Indianapolis Interurban To Pass Through Dunnville.

From the latest information in railroad circles the proposed interurban line between Indianapolis and Chicago will be built next year; a part of it is now under construction. The engineers for the Chicago, Indianapolis and Meridian Electric Railroad Company are this week establishing the line and grade of the road between .Valparaiso and the Indiana-Illinois state line, a distance of 24 miles. From the state line the company has contracted for a line into the loop district of Chicago over a belt line already constructed to 63rd street and thence to the loop district over the South Side elevated. It is expected to have the road in operation frun Valparaiso to the loop district in Chicago early next spring. Gary will be made permanent headquarters for the Valparaiso-Gary-Chicago division. It is expected to have fast trains running between Gary and Chicago early in the spring and the entire first division between Chicago and Valparaiso completed in a very short time. Work is to be prosecuted at a number of places on the line. There is no', much heavy work, except for a short distance this side of Valparaiso. From Gary east, the railroad will pass through Wheeler, Valparaiso, Malden, Kouts, Dunnville, Medaryville, Francesville, Monticello, Flora, Russiayille, Kempton, Slowdon and Indianapolis. One feature of the new line will be the elimination of grade crossings except near Chicago. Four hours will be required to make the trip from Chicago and Indianapolis. The line will run through one of the richest agricultural sections of the state. Milk And produce trains will be put on. Officials of the road say that the money has all been raised to build and equip the‘line from Indianapolis to Chicago. The stock has all been taken and so have the bonds. The plans have been quietly worked upon for over two years and the line is expected to be constructed within eighteen months.

Elevator Building Has Been Rapid—New Engine Arrives.

Workmen at the Babcock & Hopkins elevator have been making very . satisfactory progress and the owners are hoping to blow the whistle for starting on Nov. 15th. Ttye cribbing construction was completed the early part of the week. The walls are 55 feet high; now a nine-foot bent is .being built. This will be followed by two narrower stories of 16 and 9 feet respectively. This will make the elevator within seven feet of the height it was before the fire. It will have just as much working room, however, as formerly, owing to the fact that the machinery will be more compact, a combination shelter and drier taking the place of separate machines. A stairway which formerly was on the inside, has been built on the outside of the building and a man-pull elevator will be used inside. Not all the machinery will be installed this winter. The corn is especially dry this year and the artificial drier will not be needed so much as in previous years and will not be installed for another year. The engine has arrived and will be placed in the engine room, part of which is standing and with a few repairs can be used. The engine is of the Atlas manufacture and the 4-valve Corliss type. It is 160 horsepower.
