PUT UP A HOLLER DO WHITING OWLS

Charge That They Received Rougl (Treatment In Game With Soldiers Saturday Night. ’ • ■ > ... ' 4." ‘ The Whiting Owls made a big wail after returning to their home last Sunday and the Whiting correspondent to the Lake County Times says that they charged the soldiers with rough tactics. They said the game was not clean and that the soldiers resorted to all manner of tactics to win by fair means or foul.. Continuing the Times says: “All the Whiting players were more or less the worse physically for their encounter. Girard received slight internal injuries, ■while Dugan w'as burned on the shoulder because an opponent pinned him to a steam pipe.” The game was rougher that it should have been but the soldiers were no more the offenders than the visitors. \The game was fast and furious and the floor being slick from dancing was responsible for a number of bumps in which the teams fared about equally. Kirk was upset once and had a very hard fall and he, as well as Putts and Parks, have slight bruises on their faeesdf It is hoped that future games will be less rough and that the officials will watch for fouls and call them. % The Whiting team, however, has no kick about the- roughness which they instigated an equal part in from the start.' Aristos still leads them all. We unloaded our sixteenth car for 1912, last week. Perfection sells the flour. "Aristos,” the perfect flour, $1.35; “Lord's Best,” $.1.30. *. . JOHN EGER.

MONNETT HONE TO BE DEDICATED

Dr. Geo. Wr Switzer Will Preaeh Sermon in Commemoration of - Addition to school. On afex| Sunday evening, Dee. 15th, at Trinity M. E. church tne Monnett Home and' Watts de Peyster School for Girls will be dedicated, this being a service arranged In honor of the addition built the past summer. The trustees have had printed i statement to be mailed out to many persons and setting out the origin, growth, equipment, financial condition, entrance requirements and prospects of the school. The text of the statement thus made is published herewith, as follows: . Origin—Miss Monnett, in 1907, at a time she was deeding property to the Chicago Training School, made a simple request that a house and ten acres of ground located at the edge of Rensselaer be used as a beginning of a school for girls. Such a school, in her fore-sight being needed for girls whose parents, parent, or guardian were not located -so as to give - their girls instruction under Christian influence. Disposal of Property to Date—The Training School turned over the property to the Methodist Deaconess Society, w'hose officers proceeded < to establish a school, finally placing the school under the control of a Board of trustees with 'an executive committee of Rensselaer people.—Board of Trustees: Mrs. Julia O Warrington, Mrs. Rella C. Pell, Rev. C. L. Harper, G. W. Switzer. Executive committee: Rev. Harper, Chairman; Mrs. Rella C. Fell, Mrs. Delos Thompson, Dr. M. D. Gwin, Grace Findley. Growth —Part of the land was sold, ahd the proceeds, with other donations, was put into the building. The school after five years of struggle now. has six deaconesses and all the girls the enlarged building will hold, about twenty-eight girls, 'and some applicants that are refused. Equipment—A building twice as big as the original, steam-heated, well arranged for school and five acres of ground. Financial Condition —Baths, lights and building all paid for but the steam heating system and sewerage—lacking SI,OOO of being paid for. Entrance Requirements—Any gilrl of good moral character, any religious denomination not having finished the Bth grade and paying a tuition of sl2 a month, age above six years. Similar Schools—The Deaconess Association has had a school for all ages except girls from six to fourteen years and the Rensselaer school fills the space. The Baby-Fold at Normal, 111., Jennings Seminary at Aurora, 111., with an enrollment of two hundred, the school taking the graduates of this school, the Orphanage at Lake Bluff, 111., and the School for Boys at Quincy I'll. Prospects—This school is barely self-maintaining because some few oi the girls are taken who can not pay full price. It is absolutely sure to grow as did Jennings Seminary, but ol course having no endowment iftust grow by donations as did Jennings. And they are beginning to come. Two local men gave • SIOO each. Thus you see It a school needed and destined to become big for its kind, in so far as you make it big. It is your school and controlled by your people. This school is entirely under the control of Rensselaer people. The Chicago Training School has no further connection.

DISHONESTY LED TO BOY’S DISGRACE

Lad Employed In Store Had Been Stealing From Employer—Con- - fessed After Discot ery* ’. y ~ Hoping |to spare the feelings of a boy who has been discovered in his misdeeds in the hope that he may come to a realization of his predicament and never become a thief again, his name is omitted from this article. she youth held a position in a store in this place and for some time had the confidence of his employer. This confidence wavered some last week, howeyer, when some irregularities discovered. Later in the week it was found that he 'had stolen as much as $5 from the cash register at one time. He was watched and caught red-handed in his practice and to having stolen between S3O and S4O. He was taken before Judge Hanley, who sentenced him to the reform school at Plainfield, and then suspended 'sentence pending his living in an honest way, going to school, staying out of the shooting ■gallery, poolroom or being on the streets at night. • The Judge gave him a lecture that he should never forget and that will be the cause of his reformation if he acts upon it. It is said that the bqy proved dishonest while employed on another job. Lack of home training may be responsible,, but now that the lad has been brought face to face with the seriousness # of his peculations he should never again let a dishonest cent get into his hands.

PANAMA CANAL ACT PROTESTED BY ENGLAND

British Ambassador Bryce Reads a Document Prepared by Edward Grey to Secretary Knox. What'the consequences will be of the act passed .by the congress which granted to American coastwise vessels free passage' through the Panama Canal anck imposed a tax on foreign vessels, remains to be seen, but the expected has happened in the protest filed Monday with Secretary of State Philander C. Knox. England is making the protest. Edward Grey the British minister of foreign affairs, prepared a carefully worded document of protest, which was sent to Ambassadof Bryce, at Washington, and by him presented to Secretary Knox and read to him at his home. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty provided that ail nations should be on equal terms in the use of the canal. The advantage granted to American vessels is alleged to be a violation of that treaty. The letter of protest is a state paper of considerable magnitude, touching, every phase of the controversy and indicating that the English regard the act' of our congress untenable and that a stubborn effort will be made to have the act arinulled, so far as England is concerned. That other countries will make the same protest is'quite certain. While it would seem that we should be able to grant such exemptions from tax as we choose with our own property, this should have been considered by the diplomatic Mr. Hay when the treaty was being put through. Arbitration is suggested as a means of arriving at a solution of the trouble that now-exists.

Meetings Growing In Interest At the Baptist Church.

It was said last night of “Bur Old Friend, the Devil,” by Evangelist Sigri mon at the Baptist church, that he says God js a liar. He’s, our accuser, He’s our tempter, he’s a stealer of truth, a hinder and a blinder of men, he’s a liar and a murderer, he’s the prince of this world, he passes as an angel of light, he was cast out of Heaven, he’s a perpetual sinner; but that he was overcome by our Lord and tba/t we, through Christ, may overcome him. The evangelist further said that he could not understand why men would keep such company and make a bosom friend of such an enemy* of the human race. The subject for tonight will be “The Home of Our Old Friend.” Come and see- whether you’d like such a home. Everybody invited to this home and to the service tonight.
