ANNUAL CHARITY ENTERTAINMENT

Program For Next Tuesday Evening’s Gathering atT the Presbyterian Church —Yonr Help Needed. The annual before Thanksgiving entertainment for the benefit of the charity fund and for the purpose of providing a good Tlfanksgiving dinner for every family in Rensselaer that might otherwise fail to have one is to be held at the Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening. The program is published herewith. The ladies in charge of this entertainment, who also give heed to the needs of the poor of this city throughout the winter, hope that the offering will be greater than ever before. There will be about thirty chickens needed. It is desirous that these will be donated, as it takes so much of the «cash to buy them in case they are not given. Any fairly well-to-do family can spare a chicken to help make some less fortunate family happy on Thanksgiving day. Other things will be welcomed. Flour and potatoes are needed as well as chickens. Mrs. C. A. Roberts, Mrs. A. P. Burton or Mrs. Delps Thompson will be pleased to suggest to you things that will help the most. Make the silver offering liberal this year. The ladies say that besides the donations of things to eat, the cash offering on that night should be at least SIOO. Let every person who can attend the entertainment and- give with as much liberality as possible. The program follows; Scripture Reading. Prfayer .. Rev. Parrett Hymn of.

Crown Point Squire Harried Couple at Night.

Squire Nicholson, of Crown Point, heard the door bell ring at 2 o’clsck in the morning. He responded a bit reluctantly, having taken time to slip on a red bathrobe. There was a young couple at the door. “Please, Squire, we want to get married,” said the man. “Yes, just awfully bad,” chimed in the woman. “Let me see the license,” said the squire. , It was all right, the couple having just procured it from the. clerk, who was routed out in the night, also. The license said that the occupation of the groom, Edward B. Kirkman, was “being the son of Marshall M. Kirkman, novelist and former vicepresident of the Northwestern Railroad Co.” The woman proved to be the divorced wife of Robert S. Givens, whose father is a Chicago millionaire. “We hated to waken you, Squire,-’ said the girl, “but we- are just dead in lovs.** “Oh, that’s all right,” said the squire, -as he was handed a S2O bill by the benedict And then with true commercial spirit, he added, “Come again.” “Thanks, we will,” said the divorcee. And then they left for Chicago to try to square things with papas and mamas.

Attorney Zeigler Brings Some Cash and Thus Staves Off Foreclosure Proceedings. Attorney Zeigler, of Elkhart, representing the U. S. Match Co., arrived last evening and was joined this Thursday morning by P. T. Longachre, who was one of the original bunch who put the match factory stunt over on the Rensselaer Commercial Club. Mr. Zeigler brought some money, not enough to settle all the claims by any means, but sufficient to appease the chief creditors and to settle in full some small dribs. Also enough to indicate that the company will eventually settle the claims in full. The principal local creditors the J. C. Gwin Lumber Co. and the Rensselaer Lumber Co. They had instituted foreclosure proceedings in which smaller creditors *had joined. Each firm was paid slf>o. A claim of S6O by Roth Bros., for office rent, was paid on the 10 per cent discount basis arranged for by Mr. Kohn, some months ago. Other small claims were paid. Mr. Lortgachre disposed of his interest a long time ago. He guaranteed othe size of some of the claims at that time. He was here to make the settlement rounds with Attorney Zeigler and see that the claims were as he had represented. The foreclosure judgment was rendered but the partially paid creditors "agreed not to force collection by ther action at this time. It is understood that the company continues to offer stock for sale in the match facory corporation. They also continue to claim that they will get started here some time.

MATCH FACTORY IS PAYING IN PART

DZIABIS IS SANE SAYS THE JURY

Carpenter Township Man Competent to Manage His Own Business According to Talesmen. A rather peculiar trial was conducted in Rensselaer Wednesday. Valentine Dziabis, of Carpenter township, father-in-law of George Borntrager, was alleged by the latter to be of unsound mind and not capable of managing his business. M.r. Dziabis, whose name is pronounced Jarvis, was of the same opinion. It is the duty of the state to represent the principal in an actiom of this kind and Attorney G. A. Williams did so. The jury decided that Mr. Dziabis was mentally responsible and qualified to handle his own business. There is alleged to be a reason for the anxiety of/Mr. Dziabis to be adjudged of unsound mind. The charge is that some time ago he bought 80 acres of land, paying $45 per acre for it |i®d contracted to sell 40 acres of it to Grant Culp for SSO per acre. But for some reason he refused to make the transfer. Then Culp brought suit for damages, asking SI,OOO. Mr. Williams was Culp’s attorney. If Dziabis was not mentally able to transact business, there would be no liability. Now that he has been found to be sane, the case for damages will, proceed. „ !

DIVORCED COUPLE TRY IT ONCE MORE

Jacob Klaus and Who Were Divorced Last December, Again Procure License to Marry. Jacob Klaus, aged 34, and Rose M. Klaus, aged 23, both of Remington, procured a marriage license Thursday and doubtless by this time, are happily wedded. They were divorced last December, but a few months separation has mellowed their differences and they will now take another hitch on the matrimonial sea. Here’s hoping that the turbuleint waters that rocked their craft a year ago will be placid and serene durinig all their lives and that no northern ice floes nor southern rock-bound shores will get in the way of their craft, which should have been thoroughly repaired during the eleven months it has been in dry dock.

WHEATFIELD BARBER MARRIED WEDNESDAY

Roy Cox and An nil Margaret Byers Hake Auto Trip Here and Are Married by Squire Irwin. Mr. Roy'Cox and Miss Anna Margaret Byers, of Wheatfleld, were brought to Rensselaer by Ward Hamilton, the Wheatfleld auto liveryman, Wednesday afternoon, and after procuring a marriage license, went to the bridal parlors in Squire Irwin’s office and the Squire put up one of the daintiest wedding knots he has tied during his official career. Mr. Cox is a barber, just turned twenty-one. His bride is not quite eighteen, and is a mighty pretty and sensible girl or else our ability at judging human nature has taken a slump. It was one of the finest looking couples the squire has spliced in a long-time and he gave them an extra fine Job. Tonsorially speaking, he turned them out looking mighty slick. They will live in Wheatfleld, where he has a good business as a barber.
