The McDonald sisters marketed about the finest bunch of turkeys in Rensselaer Thursday that we have ever seen. One of the turkeys was an old tom that weighed 37 pounds. The other 35 averaged 20 J / 2 pounds in weight and were all as plump and classy as any one could wish. They were thoroughbred Bronze turkeys and the tom that was sold had cost them sls two years ago. For the 35 turkeys they received the neat sum of $116.23. Dr. A. R. Kresler, Frank G. Kresler and Jesse Nichols, who recently purchased the Kneale & Ross farm of 303 acres, at public auction have sold it to A. C. Stauflenherg, of Manhatten, 111., who recently disposed of another farm in Barkley township. A. S. Laßue made the sale. Mr. Stauffenberg pays $19,550 for the farm, which cost the Kreslers and Nichols $17,043.75. Thus they cleared about S7OO each after the commission was paid. The farm is known as the old Michaels farm and lies 3 miles southeast of Rensselaer. Mr. Stauflenherg has again placed it on the market and if it is not sold by spring he intends to make some extensive improvements and fix it up a great deal. The farm has iffeen much neglected, in recent years. One of the cleverest child beggars in Chicago is named Olive Meek. She has been wanted by the police for sometime but evades arrest. Thursday she went to the store of Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., and asked to see her “uncle,” whose, name she said was “Mr. Smith.” He could not he found and the girl began to cry, saying that she and her mother were going to be thrown out of their house because they could not pay the rent. The store manager and the store detective took up a collection to pay the rent and gave it to the little girl and then called a police officer to take her home. After riding on a streetcar for two miles they got off the .car and walked about a mile The girl told the detective that she had to go down the alley to “fix up” her stocking. He waited for her and she skipped out. He gave a description of her after getting to headquarters and learned that he had let a prize for whom the police have been looking for a long time slip through his fingers.

Misrepresented Position Of Commissioner Denham.

County Commissioner Charles T. Denham, of Remington, was a Rensselaer visitor today to attend the special session of the commissioners to close up ,the business of the year. He was asked about the action of the boarij in the matter of the request for the resignation of Superintendent Nichols at the county farm, and the discussion of the matter by Rensselaer newspapers. He said, “I see in The Jasper County Democrat that I have been outspoken against Nichols. This is not so. I have had nothing to do with the proceeding seeking to remove him and have not said anything against his management of the county farm. There is no authority to quote me as being against him and I plainly said to the other commissioners, Messrs. Stackhouse and Hershman, that there was nothing to base any opposition to him upon. .1 said if there were any members of the board of charities who wanted Mr. Nichols discharged they should file charges in writing and give the board authority for investigation. Their report is entirely favorable, making a Suggestion for increased help and nothing else. I was asked to join with the other members of the board in the proceedings but refused to do so.” This, in substance, was Mr. Denham’s statement made in the presence of two other men. He said more than that to refute the. entirely false statement mfcde by The Democrat to the effect that he was “outspoken” against Nichols. He said that he thought Kelley, the inmate who was active against Nichols, was a trouble maker and, that if he was the superintendent he would either make him behave or make him leave. He spoke of an occasion when he had visited the farm and one inmate called him aside and took out of his pocket a piece of meat, saying, “This is a sample of the kind of meat they give us.” Mn Denham examined it and found it to be the very center of a slice of ham and the choicest piece of meat that could be selected. This goes to prove that nothing that could be done would meet the unanimous approval of- the unfortunates who are at the farm. Mr. .Denham said that Mrs. Nichols, the matron, was a woman of rare tact and ability and that from all that had been reported to him, either in the official reports or otherwise, he did not see reason for removal of Mr. Nichols. This should be sufficient to prove conclusively that the action is a political one and just as The Re publican reported it.

A WAY OPEN.

Many a Rensselaer Reader Knows It WelL There is a way open to convince the greatest skeptic. Scores of Rensselaer people have made it possible. The public statement of their experience is proof the like of which has never been produced before in Rensselaer. Read this case of it given by a citizen: Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills .are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taljjen them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago I first began their use and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a sattement for publication mending jthem in the spring of 1907. Since' then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The program of the Webster Lit-'' crary Society, which was to have been given Wednesday, has been postponed until Friday. It was impossible to get scenery for the play that was to be given and so some extra numbers had to be arranged for and the program altered. Mr. Williams and Dr. Kresler, members of the school board, spoke to the students of the high school Wednesday morning and urged the pupils to show their appreciation of the new building through their actions and studies. In the few days that the building has beef! occupied it has been noticed in several classes that more interest is being taken in the work and it is hoped by the teachers to keep up this interest and to raise the percent of scholarship. School will close Friday for a week’s vacation for Christmas. The seniors held a class meeting Friday evening and elected their officers for the year. A great deal of Interest is being taken in the basketball league. The boys play two nights and the* girls three nights one week and the hoys three and the girls tw r o the next week. There are ten teams in the boys’ league and five in the girls’. The boys’ teams are named the following; Reds, Maroons, Greens, Browns, Whites, Yellows, Blacks, Purples, Blues, Grays. The girls' are: Blues, Reds, Blacks, Whites and Grays. A schedule is being made and will be announced after vacation. The first game, however, will probably 7 be with Lowell on January 3rd. The new library system seems to be very successful and more books are being brought in each day. It is evident that more benefit is gotten from outside readings and* more books are being used than before this plan was used. The Ladies of thp D. A. R. have arranged for a contest in which the members of the senior class will bo permitted to take part. It will bo of some historical subject which is to be' decided upon later and a prize is to be given to the person with the best paper. Madge Winn, a member of the freshman class, was out two or three days on account of sickness.

Ashes and Leaves Must Not Be Dumped in Street.

The practice of dumping ashes in the streets must cease at once or prosecution will follow. This practice not only mars the looks of oqr city, but stops up the gutters s 6 that the water cannot get to the sewers. The practice of raking up leaves and leaving them In the gutters must also cease, as the leaves wash over the catch basins and the.first freeze that comes forms a coating Of ice over the catch basins and the water remains in the street and the city is blamed. Gutters and catch basins should be kept clean of leaves and trash. If this is done the necessity of wading through the water and slush will he much lessened. Acting under instructions of the mayor any one found dumping ashes in the street will he prosecuted. '
