Jury Will Hear All the Evidence.

On Thur sdayevenlngjFghruaryath, Uetofe Judge C. W. Hanley, at Ellis Theatre, Mr. Frank Morrew. a well ,known and highly respected citizen of this town, will stand as defendant in a Breach of Promise suit brought by one of Rensselaer’s fair daughters. Judge Hanley says the case is one of the most interesting that has ever been tried before him, while, John A. Dunlap, Esq. and Col. Newton, the lawyers for the respective parties, agree that it is one of the most complicated in which they have liver been retained. * . The defendant in this startling case offers for his defense “conspiracy.” He says that well known parties have conspired with Mr. Walter Forbes and others, for the purpose of damaging; his, the defendant’s, reputation. ' we cannot vouch for the truth of such statement, but it is said by those in position to know, that from the opening of the court until the close of the case, the audience will be kept keyed up to the point of convulsions by the unique proceedings. Wit, pathos, eloquence, laughable local hits and vagaries will be drawn upon without stint to- keep up the current 6f merriment As an entertainment of innocent fun, conducted with mock dignity and without the shade of offense to refined tastes, the Mock Court Trial will be an event of unusualy. interest

The hour of holding court and the place of conducting same will be as advertised. Place Ellis Theatre.

FRANK WEATHERS DEAD; BROTHER OF MRS. PEYTON.

Former Resident of Rensselaer Died Suddenly in Huntington, W. Va. ' ; —id Years of Age. Mrs. Mary Peyton received A telegram Thursday stating that her brother, Frank Weathers, had died suddenly that day at the home of his wife’s parents in Huntington, W. Va. His home was in Colorado Springs, Colo., but himself and family, consisting of a wife and two children, have been for a short time with her parents, who are presumed-to have been in poor health* Frank had been in poor health himself for some time and at the time his mother died in January, 1911, he was unable to attend her funeral, having just come from the hospital. The message to Mrs. Peyton gave no particulars of his death, only stating that he died suddenly. It is not known whether the funeral will take place in Huntington or the body taken back to Colorado Springs. Mrs. Peyton is unable to attend it at either place. Mr. Weathers was 46 years of age. He leaves a wife and two children, a boy 20 years old and a daughter 18 years old. Frank Weathers Was raised in Rensselaer, living here until his 19th birthday, when he left for the west. He had been back to his old home only twice during the years that have elapsed since his departure, but he will be remembered by many who lived here when he was a youth. Mrs. Weathers and the children visited here two years ago.

WOODMEN HAVE MADE INSURANCE BUSINESSLIKE.

Rates Higher But No Longer Guess-work-Members Have Options That Deserve Consideration. George Mustard, clerk of the local Modern Woodmen, of America, has received a circular letter from John D. Volz, of Indianapolis, the state deputy. of the order, in which are set out the following options for members: 1. Natural premium with no reserve, which is lower than other rates while member is in prime of life, but increases to a high cost at old age. 2. Whole life level rate guaranteed by a reserve. These rates run from 75 cents per month at age of 18 to $2 per mqnth at age of 45, and do not increase with age. After two years will provide for surrender values in paid up and extended insurance. 3. Term insurance to age 50. Rates age 18, 40 cents; age 45, 65 cents. 4. Term insurance to age 60. Rates age 18, 50 cents; age 45, 90 cents. 5. Term insurance to age 70. Rates age 18, 60 cents; age 45, $1.30. 6. 7, 8 and 9 are for policies fully paid up in 15, 20, 25 and 30 years. Based on the age of 35 years, the rates vary from $2.15 for a 15 year policy down to SI.OO for a 30 year policy. Mr. Volz points out that by comparison it will be found that these rates are lower than can be found from any other reliable company and that in the futufe Woodmen stability will be guaranteed by a reserve sufficient tp remove all doubts. It is not improbable that there will be a number who will leave the order because of the raise in rates, but If they will make a little study of rates between now and Jan. Ist, 1913, when the new scheme of operation goes into effect, they will find that they are being given for a greater cost a real insurance to replace a haphazard sort that was drifting to certain failure. It is now a good business proposition and the man with Woodman insurance will leave a legacy as dependable as that of any old line company. The action is to be commended and it is hoped every Woodman will maintain his insurance, which he is quite certain to do if he makes a study of the options between now and next January when the new rates become operative. Personally we consider the new Woodmen insurance worth many times the old, a guaranteed insurance against one that was sure to finish in bankruptcy and disappointment To be a Woodman now means more than ever before. It means protection of quality instead of merely hope. It can be recommended without hiding your face. * ‘ Anyone desiring rugs made out of old carpets call up Alfred Donnelly tor information, Phone 501-Lu Representing the Western Rug Co., Chicago.

The Black Spot Shows Where , is First Choice’

TWO CARS OF CORN TO SEABOARD FROM RENSSELAER.

Seventy-seven Cars in One Day and Rensselaer is Probably Biggest Corn Point on the Monon. * Other towns are publishing big claims of the vast amount of corn handled these days but we are convinced that there are few towns in Indiana and probably not another one on the Monon railroad that handles as much grain as Rensselaer. In a single day last week two complete trains of shelled corn were shipped from Rensselaer, consisting of 77 cars, the accumulation of only two days. The corn went directly to New York city for export. Could empty cars have been procured there would have been 10 or 15 more cars included in the two trains. One day last week 20 cars were shipped into the Babcock & Hopkins elevator from the buying points bn the Gifford railroad. The daily shipments now are running about twelve car loads of shelled corn but this would be materially . increased could the empty cars be procured. It will thus be seen that there Is a great amount of corn moving activity and yet the price has been getting stronger right along.

Groundhog Saw His Shadow the Livelong Day—Woe is Ours.

Although today started out slight-' ly clouded It was not long until the sun was shining brightly and shadows with distinct outline were cast across the snow-coveted earth. Thins, the groundhog, weather prophet extraordinary and from whose forecast there is no appeal, was enabled to see his pantomime, get scared and duck back into the recesses of his winter abode for a continued hibernation of six weeks. But why needlessly prolong this narrative. The die is cast and woe is ours good and plenty. The proper thing to do is to call your coal dealer and prepare for the worst

Workingmen are Putting Elevator In Wright’s Furniture Store.

W. J. Wright ic having a fine passenger elevator constructed in his furniture store and it will be in operation by next Wednesday or possibly before. Its completion will be followed by the tearing out of the stairway and the building of a new front, making one of the finest furniture stores in this part of Indiana and one seldom exceeded in towns twice the size of Rensselaer. The elevator will run from the main floor to the third floor and the building will be well stocked with furniture. We have installed a new burr mill and are making an excellent grade of corn meal. Ask your grocer for it or order direct. - HAMILTON ft KELLNER.
