A Superior Attraction.

It has been announced that a dramatization of Marie Corelli’s great story of the Norwegian hills, "Thehna,” will be presented at the Ellis theatre Thursday evening, Sept. 1&. Since this has become known the theatre goers have manifested much interest and we desire to congratulate them on such manifestation, for we are glad to know that they appreciate what is desirable in the theatrical line. There have been many dramatizations made, but the one that will be presented here has been made by Robert Sherman, a skillful playwright, Who has constructed a drama of real interest from an incomparable book. While the Author has kept within the ’bounds of the story, he has provided an abundance of comedy to conteract the highly dramatic scenes, and all are so happily blended that the result has been one of the best plays of the times. While the story is written around the hills of Northland and is always a favorite with the Swedes and Norwegians, it is none the less popular with all classes. It will be seen here Thursday, October 12. The company presenting it is claimed to be one of the very best on the road.

All the parties concerned met at McCoysburg Wednesday and agreed on the matter, ajid appointed viewers. The ditch has its origin in the Osborn neighborhood and empties into the Randle ditch on the G. W. Dennis farm. John Nagel, who works for W. B. Walter, received a telegram Monday noon stating that his mother was verybad sick, at her home in Plymouth. John left on the two o’clock Hoosier Limited for his home. His mother has been poorly for some time, having been in a Fort Wayne hospital for some time, until recently. She was taken home. Word was received here Monday that Willson Potter, had dropped dead at the home of Albert Warner, near Rantoul, 111., Saturday evening. Mr. Potter was getting quite old, and he will be remembered by nearly everyone here. A number of years ago he worked for Robert Drake, but for the most part, made his home with Albert Warner. Mr. Potter has one son in Indianapolis and two daughters in Buffalo, N. Y. Both of them have often tried to get their father to come and make his home with them, but for some strange reason, he never went. It was not learned here whether the body would he sent to the children or buried at Rantoul, probably depending upon the action of the children.

HANGING GROVE.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1911.

MARBLE DITCH DELATED; GOES TO SUPREME COURT.

Big Drainage Scheme Will Be in Status Quo Until Finding of Higher Court is Returned. William B. Brown, L. A Salisbury, J. Ott and Attorney Otto J. Bruce, of Crown Point, and William E. Pinniy, of Valparaiso, were present this Saturday morning when Special Judge Marvin, of Monticello, who has heard the Marble ditch qase, opened court. They gave notice of appeal from the recent finding of the court and the bond was fixed in sufficient amount to cover the appeal costs. The gentlemen mentioned are land owners on the north side of the Kankakee river and they have led in the attack on the ditch, and their appeal expresses their dissatisfaction at the decision recently returned by Judge Marvin, in which their assessments were reduced about 10 per cent The appeal is made in an effort to secure a still further reduction in assessments. It is probable that from 12 to 18 months will elapse before the supreme court gets to the case. Nothing can be done during that time toward the construction of the ditch, the appeal bond serving as a stay of proceedings. Judge Marvin, however, appointed a superintendent for the ditch, who will serve when the ditch is built. He named C. J. Hobbs, of Kersey, who is not only a first-class engineer and well versed in the ditch business, but is also a man in whom the people have great confidence. The appeal of the negative contenders north of the river will have no greater effect than to delay the construction.

Plenty of Judges in City Although Demand Was Large.

Judge Reiter, of Lake county, was here today as special judge in the Newton township road cases, the building of which as petitioned for is being opposed by a number of land owners. Judge Marvin was here to appoint the Marble ditch superintendent and act on the notice of appeal, and Judge Darroch, of Kentland, was notified while here that he had been made a special judge to hear' the action brought by Everett Greenlee, in the name of the state, against Ed Lane, trustee of Newton township. He started the case and may come back here during vacation to finish the hearing.

Rensselaer First National Made Postal Bank Depository.

The Rensselaer First National Bank has been designated as a depository for the • local postal savings bank, which is the postoffice. Depositors in the postal bank get 2 per cent interest on their deposits and the designated federal depositories for the funds pay to the government 2% per cent There is little prospect that very much money will be deposited in the postal bank here and consequently there will not be very much re-deposited in the First National.

Old Grade Leading to the Kankakee in Bad Condition.

Lendert Mak, of Keener township, was in the city today. He is a road supervisor and the old -JDeMotte grade leading to the Kankakee river is in his district, and its condition is so bad that it is very dangerous. The grade is posted with notices to the effect that it is dangerous, but notwithstanding that fact, there are a great many people who continue to drive over it. Not ( anly is the grade bad, but the bridge, also, and Mr. Mak says that the plank in the old bridge are so rotten that it is unsafe for horses to travel over it. Resident farmers know this to be the case, but still people continue to go over the bridge and Mr. Mak expects almost any time to have a bad accident occur. He does not want to be held responsible and the purpose of his visit was to get advice as to his duty as road supervisor. He feels that his duty is to close the grade altogether, but he lacks authority to do this and he is in a quandary as to how to proceed.

John McColly Will Try His Luck on a Montana Homestead.

Ho! for the west. John McColly, of Newton township, han decided to move to a new home in the far west, and accordingly will hold a public sale at his farm home in Newton township Monday, Oct. 23. John recently returned from a prospecting trip in the west and while in Montana purchased a relinquishment of a 320-acre claim 12 miles north of Hinsdale, the nearest railroad town, and within 30 miles of the Saskatchewan, Canada, line. John reports it to be fine land, level as a floor, and productive. The country about is fast filling up and much land in the Milk river valley, where the farm he bought is located, is now under cultivation. Flax is the crop grown after the first breaking of the sod and before leaving there John purchased 50 bushels of seed flax. The market price of flax there is $2 per bushel. There is a six-inch vein of coal on the land and a fine spring near the road and at about the place a house will be erected. After holding his sale John and family will move to Rensselaer to remain until spring. His many friends will regret his decision to remove from Jasper county, but will wish him great success in his chosen frontier home.
