MILITIA LOST FIRST GAME OF BASKETBALL

Lack of Team Work Kept Locals From Winning Saturday Night Contest. From Whiting Owls. One of the fastest and most interesting basket ball contests ever seen in Rensselaer occurred at the armory Saturday night, when the Whiting Owls and the militia played to a standstill, the game at the end of the 40 minutes of play, being a tie, 33 to 33. Basket ball rules, however, do not aim for games to end in a tie and provide that the game shall continue until one side or the Oliver has made a field basket. The Owls were fortunate in this respect and made a good basket after about 4 minutes of furious play. The soldier team played superior ball individually but; their team work was not good and the visitors who have been playing against good teams all fall were in much better team training and pulled off a number of very good baskets as a result of their collective playing, while Rensselaer los.t a number for lack .of team work’. The game was a whirlwind from the start and the good sized crowd of spectators wore greatly enthused. Everything points to a great revival of basketball interest if a winning team is developed and that there is championship opportunity all those know who saw Saturday night’s game, There is nothing to feel bad about the loss of*a game to Whiting, for the team is a fine one, being coached by Carp Stockton, one of last year’s Purdue stars and picked for the all-Ameri-can guard. It was Stockton who developed the champion Monticeilo team last year. Stockton was himself here and played against St. Joe in the afternoon, the college hoys winning the game by the score of 41 to 23. The iedTlege has a ' distinct '*a<l van tage on its floor, which is much larger lha.ii most athletic-teams are used to playing on and the baskets are hard to hit without a lot of practice. The showing of the militia team was. -th erefore, exceptional ly good an d with the development of team work, to which they will now devote themselves, they will have one of the strong teams of the state. There are a number of goods games in sight and it is probable two games will be played during the holiday week. One has been scheduled'for Wednesday night, Jan. Ist. Friday night of this week the team will, play at Goodland. On Wednesday night of next week at Lowell.

FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT ASSEMBLY

High School Will Have Miss Ida Faye Smith Here For Rending On Wednesday Evening. The first opportunity the public has had to visit the new high school assembly hall or auditorium will be on Wednesday evening, when Miss Ida Faye Smith, a reader of ability, will deliver readings from “The Merchant of Venice.” Miss Smith, who was here a year ago, when she appeared before the teachers of Jasper county in a number of interesting lectures, is now making a circuit of several schools in this part and is receiving a warm welcome- wherever she has appeared. Tlie profit from tM entertainment will go toward a*fund to discharge a debt, incurred in the publication of “Chaos.”, The entertainment will be well worth the cost of admission, which will lie 15 cents to all school pupils and 2-5 cents to adults.

THINGS THIS WEEK AND NEXT AT ARMORY

Catholic Bazaar and Corn Show Starts Wednesday and Closes Friday— Poultry Show Next. The armory will be a busy place during most of this week and all of next. On Wednesday of this week the Catholic' bazaar and -corn show opens. It has been well, advertised and will doubtless prove a great sucms. Last year the corn show was held at tire, hull over the parochial school. It drew good crowds and proved a splendid success, but this year it ii« to be carried out on a larger plan and more room , was needed and a more central location desirable. Big plans are being made to make this bazaar and corn - show a big drawing card. - The\ public will be welcomed every afternoon , and evening. Next week the annual exhibit of the Rensselaer Poultry Association will take place. The officers and managers of tihis show have been boosting it in good shape and everything points to a big attendance during the week and to a fine show. During the course of the week three turkeys, eight chickens and an Old Trusty Incubator will be - given away. The militia drill for this week will be held Tuesday evening instead of Wednesday. There will be no drill next week.

GRAND CHANCELLOR COMING TO RENSSELAER

John W. Gaßlier Will Visit Local Knights Tuesday, Dec. l?th. On Invitation of Lodge. Grand Chancellor John W. Gaither, of the Knights of Pythias of Indiana, will be here Tuesday of next week, Dec. 17th, to attend the Knights of Pythias lodge, on invitation of Chancellor Commander W. A. Davenport. In a letter to Mr. Davenport Saturday, he says: “Tt is impossible for me to accept all the invitations I receive, but I have decided thai I will come to Rensselaer and you can expect me on the date you suggest.” The Remington Lodge will be on hand to confer the third degree on two or three candidates arid a banquet will be served. It is quite probable - that Grand Keeper of Records and Seal* Harry Wade, of Indianapolis,* wifi also he here. There will he work in the second degree at the lodge Tuesday of this week.

BAPTIST REVILAL MEETINGS SUNDAY

Both Services Well Attended and Driep Interest Shown—Meetings to Continue All Week. p .

The morning and evening services at the Baptist church were well attended Sunday and those in attendance showed- a deep and sincere interest- in the services, entering into the spirit of the meeting with encouraging ardor. Evangelist Sigmon spoke at both services. In the morning his subject was, “The Church and Who Composes It.” In the evening the subject was “Sin.” Rev. Wright is here again for tonight and will assist the Evangelist, who has selected for hia subject: “Your Old Friend, the Devil.” Come out and see if you recognize him.

U. Z. Wiley Testifies as To Composition of Highbulls.

The Oxford Tribune heads the appended article about U. Z. , Wiley, “Guest or Barkeeper?” Ulriob Z. Wiley was nominated for congress on the Bull Moose ticket last summer, but real progressives made it so hot for him that he withdrew. He later made a speech in Rensselaer, which proved that he was not -very well posted about the things his party stood for. Our faith in IT. Z. Wiley was destroyed the first time we met him. He had come over from Fowler to preach one Sunday at a local church. That afternoon the writer had occasion to call at the home where Wiley was a guest. The host served a round of highballs and the Rev. Wiley was a liberal patron. Since then his sermons, his temperance lectures, his defense of women and his confession of faith in .a reform party have sounded tolerably hollow. Last week he was a witness at the Caldwell will trial in Fowler and the Oxford Tribune makes the following pertinent remarks about his testimony, given at his old home town, where some years ago he posed as a preacher and temperance man: “Wasn't U. Z. Wiley a peach of an advocate of “God, women and temperance” in the last campaign? He testified at Fowler Wednesday that he drank highballs at “The Richland” with the Caldwells, and he further testified, as an expert, on the material make-up of highballs, cocktails and mint-julips. The question bothering the temperance people of Benton conn* ty is whether Wiley was at The Richmond as a guest or as the barkeeper. But he never, paid back the $lO he borrowed in 1876. A friend has figured the interest and if Mr. Wiley will pay the debt before January Ist, it would be> about S3O. But a check for half the amount will get him a clear receipt.” - -

C. I* Parks and daughter, Miss Alice, will leave tonight for Chattanooga, Tenn., and will go from there to Alabama, on a visiting and prospecting trip. He had about decided last year to locate in Tennessee, but so far has made no investment and may decide to locate in Alabama.. Pajamas, nightshirts, dress shirts, are all real Xmas presents. All grades. C. EARL DUVALL James Thomson went to Hammond this morning to bid his sons. Will and Terrance, farewell, as they started today for Texas, for Will’s health. Terrance was holding a Job at Hammond that paid him $3.60 a day and he gave this up in order -to go to the southwest with his brother, who is so poorly that he would be scarcely able to make the trip alone. The doctors do not hold out any encouragement to, Will, although the warmer climate may prove beneficial. Dexter Goad, the only officer of the Carroll" county (Virginia) court who lived through the fusillade of the Allen gunmen last March, testified at the trial* of Sidna Allen at Wyethville,' Va., Wednesday. He assailed the theory that the Allens fired in self-defense, thinking they were attacked by the court officers. A Classified Adv„ wfll sell it.
