BEWARE OF SHORT CHANGE SWINDLERS

Merchants Should Also Be On the Lookout For Fellows Who Present » Forged Checks. This is the time of the year when forgers and short change men operate. Rensselaer merchants should be on the lookout and if any stranger with a check puts in an appearance, make him prove that it is genuine before cashing it. Here is the way the short change game was worked in Lafayette Monday: Two strangers worked the change racket at the Kimmel and Herbert book afternoon shortly before 4 o’clock and secured $9.65. One of the men made a purchase that amounted to 35 cents and handed the clerk a $lO bill. After she had given him the change, the man told hei to never mind changing the bill and he ’handed her 35 cents. Just then an accomplice rushed 'in and wanted to buy a lead pencil. He was in a hurry and the clerk, handing back the $lO T>ill that had been given to her by the first man, turned to wait on the man who wanted the pencil. The pencil did not suit, but it gave the man with the $9.65 a chance to slip out of the store and get away.

Large* crowds lined the streets and wharves awaiting the arrival of the president-elect and all public and private buildings were decorated with flags and bunting. Hurst Holme, the winter home of Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, has been offered to Mr. Wilson during his stay th ere The president-elect occupied part of the afternoon in getting his family settled In a private cottage, which he ranted, overlooking the ocean. He discovered that he was short one bed, and rOwed across the bay alone to obtain it.

Union Meetings Continue To Draw Large Audiences.

The union meetings are (being held at the Methodist church this week, this being the third week since they were begun. A good sized audience attended the meeting last and heard an able sermon by Rev. Harper. The singing of Miss Una Dell Berry, the leader, continues to prove a splen-' did part of the service and the chpir under her direction has made marked improvement. All Christians are urged to come out each night and aid in making this week one df rich spiritual blessing. There is other work for the Christians to do, also. They should encourage those who are not identified with any church to come to these meetings and to make the decision for a life inside the church. Success will crown our efforts if we all employ the power God has given us to that end. Let the house be packed tonight.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1912.

RENSSELAER COUPLE MARRIED IN CHICAGO

Miss Grace Hollister and Mr. Walter Malnes Leave For Montana After ° the Wedding. Some time today (Tuesday) in Chicago, Miss Ethel Grace Hollister and Mr. Walter Malnes were married and they left or will leave at for Miles City, Mont., to visit her uncle, Spencer Hollister, and family. They will return here about the first of January. Mr. Maines and Miss Hollister were accompanied to Chicago by Mrs. D. E. Hollister, Mrs. Susan Maines and Miss Eva Maines. Miss Hollister is the daughter of George Hollister, formerly of Kniman, and since his death, about ten years ago, has made her home with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Hollister, in Rensselaer. She was employed for some time at the telephone office and at the office of the Rensselaer Lumber Co., an<jj has many friends here. Mr. Maines is the son of Mrs. Susan Maines and is a young man of exemplary habits amd an industrious and successful farmer. , After their return from their western trip it is probable that they will plan to return to that state to make their home. The large Maines farm, which was recently sold, has been the home of both Walter and Judson Maines and they have invested in Montana, where both will probably move in the spring. The Republican joins their many friends in congratulations and best wishes for a happy union.

CAMPAIGN ACCOUNTS FILED BY CANDIDATES

Several Have Complied With Law Requiring That Itemized Statement Be Filed With Clerk. Several candidates have already filed their campaign expense accounts with the county clerk, as required by law. Defeated as well as victorious candidates are required to 4sske a statement of the moneys spent and the promises made during the campaign. County central committees are also required to show their receipts and expenditures. Those who have thus far complied with the law and the amounts they report are as follows: W. R. Brown, treasurer of the Progressive Committee, made the following report: Receipts, all by subscription from local parties except $25 from John G. Brown, candidate for state senator, and $25 from John O. Bowers, candidate for congress, a total of $323.00. Expenditures, mainly for advertising and automobile hire, $29A12. Balance on hand $28.88. parties had not filed their report up to Monday night. The local candidates all declared that they had made no promises. They filed expense accounts as shown below. Every dollar seemed to be spent in a thoroughly legitimate way. Those who spent the most were the most active in getting about the county and the outlay for gasoline if they owned autos or for livery hire, hotel expenses, etc., was more than that of the inactive candidates. The itemized statements can be seen at the clerk’s office. The amounts set opposite the names are the total amounts reported spent: Fred Longwell $ 8.00 A. A. Fell 35.90 D. S. Makeever 86.15 Geo. W.

The Idaville school building was destroyed by fire last Saturday night. The fire was discovered between 7 and 8 o’clock, but it had evidently been smouldering for several hours ir the basement, where two carloads of soft coal was stored. Zealous fire fighters broke through the windows and doors to fight the fire and the draft thus furnished caused the flames to leap forth with great fury. Profs McCuaig and Foster were almost killed by asphyxiation while trying to save some furniture. Idaville Is a town of about 700 people, located In White county, a short distance east of Monticello. The school had an attendance of 250. The building cost about $22,000. It was insured for $12,000. The indebtedness was as much as the insurance. A new building will be erected, probably in a different location. After a week or such time as is necessary to procure parapfaenalia to resume the school work, churches and'halls will be used for the purpose^ Ed Herath has no thought of going to work for the International Harvester, The Republican having been misinformed about that matter. The farm he had lived on belonged to his father and he traded It to Ed’s brother-in-law, who lives In Brook. The farm is understood to be for sale. .Ed had decided not to occupy the farm again this year and It has been rented to a man near Brook.

In a brief valedictory Newton Bros, state that they have for the most part enjoyed pleasant business relations but. have made some bitter enmities that don’t worry them in the least. The labor of getting out a daily newspaper in a,small city, telling the truth and making every one feel good about it, is a difficult task and Newton Brothers have met the experience of every person that ever tried it. They have printed a clean newspaper, have encouraged every cause that they believed to be right, 'have at no time given succor to the wrong-doer and their influence will long be felt. in Monticello.

WENT PROSPECTING IN THE BLACK BELT

Omar Kenton, Ed Herath and Joe Pnllins Went to Demopolis, To Look at the Land. Omar J. Kenton, Ed Herath and Joe Pullins, well known farmers, left this Tuesday morning for Demopolis, Ala., where they will look at the land in Lhe “black belt” of Alabama and Mississippi, where Winifred Pullins, brother of Joe, has lived for two or three years and where S. E. Sparling recently invested. Mr. Herath, at least, expects to invest at once ana to move there if he is pleased with the country. The others may do the same thing. They all are mighty good farmers and citizens and Jasper county would dislike to lose any of them. Clarence Dobbins was in town today. He is now living with his father, Simon Dobbins, at Reynolds and working with him as a monument agent. Clarence returned last June from Ravendale, Cal., where he is homesteading a quarter section of land. His brother, Homer, the former high school and later Wabash college athlete, is also at Ravensdale, where he has homesteaded a quarter and taken a desert quarter and his wife has done the same thing. This gives him a section and he is also looking after other land, and has in all 1,920 acres under his care. He is going in for cattle ranching and has a fine outlook for success. Clarence built a shack on his place and will return there next, June to look after it He filed last November, at which time there was upwards of 40,000 acres open, but inside of a few months all this was taken. Homer still has trouble with hiß injured knee and will probably never entirely get over it. He has prospered in a number of ways there and besides getting a wife and a ranch also has a baby son.

HARVE ROBINSON MARRIED NOV. 11TH

Former Rensselaer Boy, Now Prominent In Business and Politics of N. Dak., Again Wedded. The following article relates the marriage of Harve Robinson, of Sentinel Butte, N. Dak., and is copied from the Billings County Republican. He is a brother of Warren Robinson, of this place. He will be remembered by many Rensselaer people. The Sentinel Butte paper says: “The marriage of Hon. Harve Robinson, of this place, and Miss Nelle Elliott, of Rhame, No. Dak., was solemnized on Monday of this week the 11th, at the home of tbe bride’s mother, Mrs. M. M. Elliott. The ceremony took place at three o’clock p.. m., Rev. Bennet, of Marmarth, officiating. The wedding was a quiet one, only the immediate friends of the contractingparties being present. “Mr. Robinson, as is well known to most of our readers, is a man who is and has been in the public life and politics of Billings county and the Missouri Slope, and has a large number of friends, not only here but throughout the state, who will offer cougratulations upon the happy union. “The bride is a graduate of the Fergus Falls high school and the University of Minnesota, and prior to her coming to Rhame was principal of the Pelican Rapids (Minnesota) 'high school. She Is a young woman of high repute and pleasing personality and Sentinel Butte people will be glad to welcome her as a resident of the town. “As near as The Republican man can learn Mr. Robinson did not impart the glad news to many oWji|E friends—but the story got out-NflSp when he and 'his bride arrived on tne evening train Tuesday they were met by a crowd of friends who showered them with rice and then triumphantly escorted them about town in a conveyance not especially suited to the purpose—and much noise was made. The happy groom, 'however, “came across” to the satisfaction of the assemblage—and there was more noise later* “The Republican is pleased to join with the many friends of the happy couple in extending heartiest congratulations and best wishes—and In welcoming the bride to Sentinel Butte.”

Having Trouble Again in The Montieello Schools.

Montieello Journal. Life in the high school for the past few days has been somewhat strenuous and the least bit more than exciting. A number of the boys have been trying out the principal and superintendent and Friday the storm broke out with the result that a number of the lads had to undergo corporal punishment and still there were others who had to be lined up. The school authorities have been very lenient and fair with the pupils and feel that the breach of discipline which caused this wholesale punishment was. entirely unwarranted. Patrons who know the inside of the matter say that it is just right.

Confident that they have established the identity of the man, who in a series of post cards and letters, confessed to the murder of Joseph Josephs, the 7-year-old Lackawanna boy, Michael Kruck, the New York newsboy and other similar crimes, the police of Lackawanna and Buffalo, N. Y., have placed their evidence before the grand jury and ask for an indictment . Meanwhile messages giving the man’s name and description have been sent broadcast through the eastern states. The last of the series of post cards received from the murderer was mailed from Boston Saturday morning, the day the body was found. The news that the body had been recovered, the police think, caused the man to flee from that city, hut they are confident, he will be captured with-' in a day or two. The principal evidence in the hands of the police, it is said, id a letter written under a New York date and mailed at Whiting, N. J„ February 1, 1912.
