This device consists of a broiling box which is set before an upright grill in the front of the range which forms the front of the fire box. The odor and smoke from broiling is carried through the range and up the chimney. With this modem method of broiling the juices in the meat are saved so that none of the flavor is lost. No grease can drop on the coals and the smoke and gases from the fire cannot come in contact with the meat and taint it. This is a patented device which can be used only on Cole’s Hot Blast Range. All upMo-date housekeepers will be interested in seeing it. Range in operation each day at our Store September 12, 13, 14. Call and bring your friends. bjo WARNER BROS., Rensselaer, Ind.

WILL GIVE US SOME HIGHER CLASS SHOWS.
Manager Ellis Has Decided to Pat On Some More ExpenslveTaient as a Fall Experiment. Manager Ellis has decided to try out the theatre goers of Rensselaer this fall by putting on some shows of a higher class and consequently a higher price than is usually shown in towns of this size. The trial is experimental and as to whether |t will be kept up or not will depend upon the appreciation of the public. The first of these shows will be the Wizard of Wiseland, a mythological musical comedy written by Eunice Fitch and Harry Scott and set to music especially written by Ldo Lazelle, a French composer. The date is Thursday, September 19th, and the prices range from 35 cents to SI.OO. There will be a stage filled chorus girls, a total of 41 being advertised, and Mr. Ellis i;s given to understand that it is in all respects A meritorious troup that is certain to be worth the money to all who attend. If the patronage justifies it, other high class performances will be used during the coming season.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1912.
ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE BEGINS 22ND YEAR.
Largest Attendance in -History and Everything Points to. Most Sucx cessfni in All Respects. > > The opening of the 22nd scolastic year at St. Joseph’s College Wednesday, was one of the most auspicious in the history of the institution. And all present indications are favorable to a most successful term. The solemn high mass was eung by Rev. Wm. Arnold, Peru, Ind., assisted by Rev. M. Ehleringer, C. PP. S., as deacon, Rev. I. A. Wagnejr, C. PP. S„ Ph. D., as subdeacon, and Rev. S. Kuhnmuench, as master of ceremonies. The faculty and teaching staff remain the same as that of last year with the exception of Rev. I. A. Wagner, C. PP. S., Ph. D., iwho has beep appointed a new member of the faculty. Dr. Wagner is a graduate of the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., And also of Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. With the experience he has had in giving lectures at the Catholic University summer school, the college is very fortunate in securing his service for the scientific department. The enrollment of students is the largest St. Joseph’s has had. All available room is occupied, and late applicants will have to be refused admission for there will be no place to harbor them. The list of students shows a representation of all the central state. The many improvements that were made during the vacation months were a delight to the old students. The cement bottom of the lake and the curbing greatly enhance the appearance of the east lawn. Other improvements add greatly to the convenience and usefulness for the students.
Marriage of Asa Thompson and Mrs. Ada Overly Saturday.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nevill at noon last Saturday occurred the marriage of his cousin, Mr. Asa Thompson, and Mrs. Ada Overly. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. G. Winn and was witnessed by only a few friends and the guests at the Nevill boarding house. A wedding dinner was served there and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson left that evening for Francesville to visit her parents. They returned from there last evening and are spending today with her sister and family at Parr. They will then return to Rensselaer and remain over next Sunday, when Mr. and Mrr Nevill will entertain a few friends at their 25th wedding anniversary. Mr. Thompson is a machinist and lives ih Rantoul, 111., where he has a home furnished ready for their occupancy and to which they will go the first of next week.
Another Song Being Published By Rensselaer Composer.
Alonzo Healy was in Chicago this week and arranged to have his latest song “It was Only a Golden Leaf that Fell,” published and placed on the market. A firm of publishers has given him much encouragement and will themselves put it out and push its sale. Both words and music are by Mr. Healy. Morrow Brothers expect to use the song while on their fall tour as entertainers. Mr. Healy is the composer of both music and yvords to his song “I Like / to be a Friend to All the Girls,” and his new song is regarded as far superior to that one. He has a number of others that may be published shortly.

Will Come Back to the Old Town for Permanent Home.
Rev. and Mrs. Charles W. Postill have never lost sight of good old Rensselaer, no more than their old acquaintances here, have lost sight of them. They have lived in four or five good towns during his ministry and he has been going up to larger and more important fields, but he has not yet found a place that looks so good as the old town where both spent a considerable period of their youth. Charley has a good farm near Rensselaer and he has both added to this and improved it until it is one of the best farms near thjs city and he is now in shape so that he could retire if he chose to do so and could take things with comfort the remainder of his days. But he does not want to leave the ministry for a time yet and will do so only because of his failing health. Tuesday Rev. and Mrs. Postill came to Rensselaer to look over several pieces of suburban property with a view to buying and the day was over they had interested A. C. Pancoast and together they had purchased of H. R. Grow the tract of land on North Main <reet, directly north of the Grow residence. There are 6 lots, 75 by 180 feet in dimensions in the tract. Three of the lots front on Main and three on Franklin street. The tTact will be split east and west and each will have a frontage of 112% feet on each street. Mr. Pancoast gets the south and Rev. Postill the north part. Rev. and Mrs. Postill have already decided on plans for a new house, which they will erect next year. It will be of semi-bungalow style, and will Oontain eight rooms with all modern improvements. Mr. Pancoast has not yet determined about building. He was not expecting to buy until he accompanied Rev. Postill to look at the tract. The price paid was $1,275, which makes the 75x180foot lots' cost $212.50 each, which looks very reasonable. Rev. and Mrs. Postill returned today to their home In Attica.
Reports Mammoth Crops Near Jamestown, North Dakota.
John’l. Gwin returned a day or two ago from Jamestown, N. Dak., where he went to look after his farm interests. He found a harvest so abundant that the difficulty is in harvesting it and getting it to the market. From the report he brings back it is difficult to conceive the vastness of the small grain harvest. He raised a large acreage of barley on his farm, which thrashed out 37% bushels to the acre. He has 100 acres of oats that was not cut yet but which came up about his shoulders and was ready for the binder. He also had 1,050 bushels of rye. Labor and team scarcity is the serious proposition. Farmers were paying $3.50 per day and board for manual labor and $6.50 and board for a man and team. The grain was being thrashed and dumped out on the ground and covered with straw until teams could* be procured to haul it. The railroads were prepared to move the grain as fast as it reached the elevators, having plenty of cars. John talked with one elevator man who had the day the conversation was field received at the elevator 108 loads of wheat and about 125 bushels is hauled in one of the large wagons employed for transportation there. Mr. Gwin saw Samuel and Sidney Holmes, two former Jasper county men, who went there in recent years. They had seen one or two years of practical crop failures there but this year they have great crops and should make considerable money. Dr. I. M. Washburn and AttorneyJC. G. Spitler own a quarter section there and have a fine crop also. They raised macaroni wheait Neither visited the land during the year. Mr. Gwin reports that throughout North Dakota the crops are abundant and that state leads this year in wlieat production. It is certainly a bumper year for all the northwest country and we are glad that our former Jasper county residents are sharing the prosperity.
