MURDERER MAILS HIS CONFESSION

Man Acknowledges Murder of Boy at La ka wan mi, x. Y n and Says He Will Surrender. b A year ago little Joseph Josephs, 11 years old, disappeared from his home at Lackawanna, N. Y. The most diligent search failed to disclose any clew as to what had become of him. A few days ago the police of the town received a letter which confessed that the writer had taken the boy’s life and thrown his body in a cesspool in the rear of a saloon In that town. A search was made and the decomposed body of a child was found. Sunday another letter was received from the murderer. Like the former it was unsigned but it stated that the man would surrender on Wednesday of this week. The last letter was dated Friday, Nov. 15th, and was mailed from Boston. The father recently received a letter giving revolting details of his son’s murder. —lt is not believed that the man will give himself up and the police are doing everything they can to locate him. He is also believed to have killed several other boys. Sunday evening in Chicago a murderous attack was made on a 5-year-old boy. His screams attracted attention and his assailant made his escape. The police are going on the theory that the murderer of the Josephs boy was in Chicago. The police' of all the large cities are doing all in their power to find the brutal maniac.

Large Crowd at the Union Evangelistic Meetings.

Last night the Methodist church was crowded to its capacity by an attentive audience, who heard Rev. J. C. Parret preach a soul-searching sermon from, the third chapter of'John, and the sixteenth verse. His message was plain and positive as to God’s relation to man, and man’s relation to God. His word picture of the development of God’s plan for saving sinful men, from the rising of the sun over Bethleham’s hills to the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit began to reign, was beautifully drawn and each one present followed each thought-stroke of his master-mind until the finished picture was presented in the spirit of love. In addition to the message of the hour, Miss Una Dell Berry added a feature in song, which could not have been excelled in sweetness of tone or in soundness of spirit. Miss Berry is charming in her manner, creative in her method and consistent in her motives. Her presentation of the Gospel in song is attractive to the saint and the sinner alike. Last night an offering was made that covered the expenses of this meeting. We are grateful for the generous response of those who hav supported this cause in such a liberal manner. meetings are growing in power and popularity. You can not afford to miss them if you are interested in your soul’s welfare, and the advancement of the common interest of this community. Preaching every night this week in the Methodist church. You are invited, and your presence will be an inspiration to the speaker of the hour. Come, share with us the joy of an hour spent with God.

Many a Rensselaer Citizen Knows How Sure They Are,, Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan’s Kidney Pills in Rensselaer. There is plenty of positive' proof of this in the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the most skeptical doubter. Read the following statement: Jacob R. Wilcox, Dayton St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “The statement I gave for publication in May, 1907, in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills, still holds good. The cure they effected has been permanent. I had pains through my loins and was in misery day and night. I always felt tired and worn, out amd was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing Irelieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Situation is Discouraging For Onions at Knox.

Starke County Republican. The condition of the onion crop remains unchanged. As a matter of fact, it could hardly be worse. It is estimated that fully 100,000 bushels of onions are, lying out in the fields neglected and spoiling. The market is Mat. One shipper lost 18 cents a bushel on a carload he sent to St. Louis. Others have sold carloads at from 12 to 25 cents. The storage houses are refusing to accept many onions because their condition is such that they might damage the rest of the onions in the plant. The end is not in sight, but the financial loss is bound to be heavy.

RENSSELAER LOST GAME TO KANKAKEE

Illinois Neighbors Surprised Us and Won Last Saturday’s Game By the Score of. 13 to 7. Kankakee high school defeated Rensselaer last Saturday by the score of 13 to 7. Their playing was much better than Rensselaer had figured it would be and they put up a very snappy game, characterized with a number of gains through the Rdnsselaer line, a number of short end runs and an occasional forward pass. Rensselaer had an off day. The line resembled a sieve a good part of the time and the Kankakee backs repeatedly went through for gains of from 4 to 15 yards. The Rensselaer back field, outside of Choate, failed to do very much ground gaining and Putts was repeatedly tackled for 5-yard losses. Miller put up the star game for Rensselaer on the defense and in running interference, while the “Flying Dutchmen” Eigelsbach and Hanley, played splendidly at ends. The way it happened: Kankakee kicked off and Choate got the ball on the 20-yard line and carried it back 20 yards. Putts made 2 yards, Miller 4, Choate % and again 3, but the ball lacked a half yard of the required distance and Kankakee got the ball. Fullback Spence made 1 yard and Kankakee was penalized five for an offside play. Edgeworth muffed a forward pass. Another forward pass was tried and Hanley upset the Kankakee end just as he was about to get the ball. Kankakee punted to Engelsbach. Putts nfade nine yards through right guard. Another attempt lost 4 yards because Kankakee got through and tackled back of the line. Choate then made 2 yards and Putts punted to Kankakee’s 40-yard line. Spence made 9 yards through the line, Captain Rax made 12 and Edgeworth made 6. Spence hit the line for two more gains a total of 8 yards, and was penalized for pushing the ball up after the referee had blown his whistle. Gregg then made 1 yard and seemed almost to get away but a good tackle by Miller brought him down. A forward pass failed but Rensselaer was penalized 5 yards for interference. The penalty was inflicted from the point where it occurred and this amounted to a 25-yard gain for Kankakee. Rensselaer held twice, Putts bringing Gregg down as he attempted to go through the line. Gregg then received the ball on a forward pass and planted It behind the line. A kickout was muffed and the score stood, Kankakee 6; Rensselaer 0. Spence kicked off to McCarthy, who returned 10 yards. The ball was passed to Miller, who fumbled and Eigelsbach recovered it Putts made 5 yards and then punted, the ball rolling across the Kankakee goal line. It was put in play at the 25-yard line, a forward pass failed and the Rensselaer line held solidly and Kankakee punted. Eigelsbach got the ball. Putt? failed to gain. Choate made 13 yards around left end. Miller failed to gain and Choate was tackled for a 5-yard loss. Kankakee got the ball on downs and Edgeworth made line gains of 6 and 5 yards. Spence made 10. Rex lost 2 on a good tackle by Putts. Nutt made a yard and Edgeworth lost a yard. Rensselaer was penalized 5 yards on an offside play by McCarthy. On the next play Kankakee was penalized 5 yards. The half concluded with the ball in the center of the field. Spence kicked to the 20-yard line, where Choate received the ball. He gained 10 yards. Miller then made 6 yards and Putts lost 5. McCarthy made 20 on a forward pass and Choate made 28 on a left-end run behind splendid interference in which Miller and Eigelsbach played an important part. Miller made 2 yards and Rensselaer lost the ball on a fumble. Kankakee essayed andther forward pass and Barsalou made 20 yards. Another trial failed and then Gregg fumbled but recovered the ball. Kankakee then punted and Miller muffed the ball and Spence recovered it on Rensselaer’s 25-yard line. They at once made 15 yards on a forward pass. Spence was injured and left the game, Walters taking his place. Captain Rex made 7 yards. Rensselaer held for three downs, but.on the next Walters went over for a touchdown. The ball was kicked out and caught and Captain Rex kicked goal, making, the score 13 to 0.

Kankakee again kicked off. McCarthy fumbled the ball and Choate, made 10 yards around left end behind good interference. The third quarter ended. Rensselaer was going good now, except that trick plays were too much in the open and the line was not holding. The 4th period was begun with a loss of 5 yards by Putts. Hanley made 5 on a forward pass and Choate was tackled for a loss of 7. Putts punted. Kankakee failed to gain and was forced to punt. On the first lineup Choate got the ball on the 70-yard line and behind same fine interference went the distance for a touchdown. Miller kicked goal and the score stood, Kankakee 13; Rensselaer 7.

Putts kicked off, the ball rolling down the field and being picked up by Gregg on the 30-yard line. Gregg made 5 yards and lost the ball on a fumble/ Choate made 7. With only a minute left to play, Rensselaer put up a desperate scrap and McCarthy made 20 yards on a forward pass and almost got away. The game closed with the ball on the visitor’s 20-yard line, in Rensselaer’s possession. The length of the quarters was 10

Mrs. Morand returned to Chicago this morning. They travel in a great Pierce-Arrow limousine, one of the finest cars that has been seen in this city. Mr. Morand owns the Frank A Bird and Indianapolis Transfer Companies at Indianapolis and is interested in the same business in Chicago. He states that at the present time there is about ten miles of the worst road between here and Chicago that* he has ever seen on this route. (Bert Marshall, who went from Rensselaer to Medford, Ore., with his uncle, Geo. E. Marshall, is now in business for himself at -Olene, Ore., where he purchased a farm of 103 acres. It is about 75 miles from Medford. Bert is building a new bungalow now and next year will farm his place. It is dry land farming now, but an irrigation project is under construction and will probably be completed by another year. Olene is on a stage route and is the point for changing horses and Bert gets $46 a month for keeping the horses, furnishing only the hay feed. Geo. E. Marshall bought 160 acres across the road from Bert’s land and it is probable that Vern Marshall and wife will occupy it next year.
