A BIG DELINQUENT LIST THIS YEAR

Match Factory Lots and the Gifford Lands Are to Be Sold For Taxes in February.

The annual sale of lands and town lots for delinquent taxes is advertised in the current issue of The Semi-Weekly Republican. The sale is to take place at the court house Tuesday, February 11th. The list this year is about double that of last year, the Gifford lands being advertised, which adds to the length of the list. These are mostly in Barkley, Walker and Wheatfleld townships. Tha lots in the factory addition owned by the Rensselaer Home Building (the factory promoters supposedly) are also advertised for sale. The property consists of about 21 acres of unplatted ground and 92 lots. The total amount due for taxes and penalty is $217.34. Newton township has the smallest number of delinquents, only one piece of of 40 acres being offered for sale. The town of Wheatfleld comes next, where three town lots are offered for sale. Barkley township has the longest list, with Walker a close second. In Rensselaer $511.57 is due, and in Remington $320.79. As a general thing a large per cent of those-delinquent pay up before the day. of sale arid the lands are not sold, and this probably will be the case this year. The preparing of this list for the printeds meant a lot of hard work for Auditor Hammond and he and Jesse Allman have been working night and day preparing the list, and our linotype operator was unable to find a breathing spell during the week required to get the list in shape.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 191?.

TWO ACCOUNTS OF BASKETBALL GAME

Delphi Herald and Monticello Journal Report Game at Former Place ip Different Light.

By the reports below it will be seen that the newspapers of the two towiis take very different views of the game of basketball that resulted in a victory for Monticello over Delphi Tuesday night by a score of 32 to 16. The game was played at Delphi, where a toy team has been posing on its record for beating all the nonpareil towns in two or three counties during the season. They had never played a real team until they came to Rensselaer and when they were played clear off their feet and beaten by a score of 50 to 22 they went home and put up a babyish holler. They have advertised Rensselaer for next Tuesday night, as a team “that can’t play basketball,” as they propose to demonstrate to all who will come out to see the game. The Monticello team is a dandy and their victory over Delphi is just what every person here who saw the two teams play expected. That the Monticello team was treated rough by the players and the crowd is just-what might be expected from the threats made by the manager of the Delphi team. Rensselaer will go to Delphi next Tuesday night and play a clean game and it asks the fairminded people of Delphi to come out arid pass judgment on it. Below is printed the reports from two papers in the two towns. “Monticello Co. Cfs basketball team defeated the Independents at. the local hall last night by a score* of 32-16. Delphi played hard, clear to their limit, but the team work and speed of the well-coached visitors was too much. They are a grand team and it is the universal opinion of all local fans who saw them in action last night that there is no team in the state who can take their measure. In Slinker they have a wonderful center, a dangerous man ever second of the game. The game was rough, both teams fought hard and there was intense rivalry among the spectators. However, Monticello’s victory was well earned and a defeat by them is no disgrace.”—Delphi Herald. basketball game at Delphi last night resulted in a victory for Monticello by a score of 32 to 16. Monticello had two subs on the team and Delphi only had one regular player, so the Journal is informed. All the rest had been imported for the occasion and with the express purpose of cleaning up on Monticello. The tactics of Delphi were decidedly off color and to cap the climax a bunch of grownups, hoodlums by instinct and cultivation, saw fit to egg the Monticello crowd as it started home. Four out of five autos carried the marks of the eggs this morning.”—Monticello Journal.

To feel strong, have good appetite and digestion, sleep soundly and enjoy life, use Burdock Blood Bitters, the family system tonic. Price, SI.OO. Mrs. J. J. Hunt and son, John, went to Hammond today, taking back to her home little Gail Wilson, 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse E. Wilson, who has been visiting them for the past week. “Uncle” David Nowels did not die yesterday, as was expected he would by the family and the doctor. The faint spark of life still lingers but it is believe donly for a few hours longer. The monthly social of the M. E. Industrial Society, held Tuesday afternoon at Mrs. Leslie Clark’s, was a grand success. They cleared $15.50 from the refreshments served, and a good social time was enjoyed by all who attended. Harry Jacobs, who is now travelihg for the Rumley Co., spent most all of last week at Lansing, Mich., where two of the Rumley factories are located, familiarizing himself with the products. He started out this morning on a selling trip. Mrs. W. H. Timmons and little daughter, of Longmont, Colo„ arrived Tuesday to visit Mrs. John N. Timmons and family, in Rensselaer, and her relatives in Francesville. Her husband will join her here for a short visit In February or March. M. J. Delahanty .was down from Wheatfleld today, settling up some Akers ditch matters. More money had been collected for the ditch than was needed and Mike came to draw the balance and arrange for a distribution among the persons assessed. We were out of Arlstos flour for a few days, but have just received our first carload for 1913. We sold 16 cars in 1912, and, with the quality and price, we should sell 20 In 1913. / “Asistos,” the perfect flour, SL36; “Lord’s Best,” a high patent, $1.30; Washburn Crosby’s “Gold Medal,” $1.25. JOHN EGER.

MRS. EVERETT BROWN PASSED QUIETLY AWAY

Tuberculosis Cause of Death of Young Wife—Had Been Failing For Almost Three Years.

Mrs. Alma Hornbeek Brown, 34 years of age, wife of Everett Brown, who lijVes on the W. R. Brown farm in .Barkley township, died at 3 o’clock this Thursday morning after a long wasting sickness. Mrs. Brown became tubercular about three years ago and had gradually failed since that time. For sfeveral weeks she has been unable to leave her bed. Deceased leaves her husband and one daughter, 8 years of age, and a number of relatives in White county. The funeral will take place at the Christian church in Rensselaer Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock, being conducted by Rev. W. G. Winn, and interment will be made in Weston cemetery.

Miss Susie Hooker and Edward Branneman Married at Monticello.

Miss Susie Hooker, who has made her home part of the time with relatives in Jasper county, went to Monticello this Thursday morning, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Orville Lambert, of west of this city, and at 2 o’clock this afternoon at the parsonage of the pastor of the Christian church of that place was united in marriage to Mr. Edward Branneman, of Francesville. They left for Bucyrus, Ohio, on a wedding trip, and after a few days’ visit with relatives there will return here for a short visit and then take up their residence at Francesville, where the groom is engaged in the carpenter contract business.

Elmer Godshall and Walter Selby went to Pullman, 111., this morning, where they expect to secure employment in the Pullman shops. Judged by the parties who were at the depot to bid them goodbye, they are apt to spend a number of their Sundays in Rensselaer, even though they locate at Pullman.

Mrs. R. B. Porter, who has been visiting in Rensselaer and at other points since her father, J. V. Parkison’s funeral, left this morning for Valparaiso, where she will visit Mrs. I; J. Porter and Bert Brenner and family. She will then go to Chicago and—spend a day with Mel Wishard and wife and start for her home in South Dakota Sunday.

Edward Kanne was carrying a chunk of coal weighing about fifty pounds Wednesday evening and slipped on the icy walk and fell, the chunk of coal striking him on the left ankle and severely spraining it. It is thought by the attending physisian that no bones are broken but the sprain will probably lay him up for some time.

For baby’s croup, Willie’s daily cuts and bruises, mamma’s sore throat, Grandma’s lameness—Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil—the household remedy. 25c and 50c. Fred Schultz has decided not to farm any the coming year and has rented his farm to Chas. Schwanke, who will occupy it after March Ist. Fred will hold a public sale the lab ter pars of next month or the first of March and dispose of all of his stock and farming equipment. He will move to the 5-acre tract he recently purchased of Taylor Wood, and will take life easy for a time, at least. Representative Walter Tl Tingle, of- Indianapolis, will introduce a bill in the general assembly providing for an inheritance tax law which it is said, will add between $400,000 and $500,000 annually to the state’s revenue. The bill provides for a tax on gifts, inheritance, bequests and succession in certain cases. The tax will be Imposed upon a clear matket value of the property affected.

Mrs. William Webb, of Francesville, who undeiwent a surgical operation at the Rensselaer hospital a week ago for a pelvic abscess, was again operated on this morning for two disorders, one being the removal of a cystic tumor that contained a gallon of water. Her family physician, Dr. Leslie Bharrer, of Francesville, assisted by a Rensselaer physician, performed the operation and she withstood it extremely well, and the oqtlook is very bright for her recovery. Mrs. Webb is the daughter of Mr.'and Mrs. P. T. Robinson, of Olllam township. Butter Wrappers, any quantity, plain or printed, may be had at The Republican office.

Senator McCormick Fares Well in Committee Places.

State Senator Chester A. McCormick, of North Judson, who represents the counties of jasper, Newton, Starke and White, fared mighty well in corilmittee appointments for a new senator. He was made the chairman of the committee on supervision and inspection of the senate journal and a member of the following committees: military affairs, printing, federal relations, swamp lands and legislative apportionment. He is especially qualified for valuable service on a number of these committees, namely, swamp lands, printing and legislative apportionment. We believe that Mr. McCormick will prove a valuable man in the state legislature.

Overheard On the Sidewalk.

Two men were conversing the other day in front of the courthouse. One man was tall and thin, the other was short and stout. Said the tall man to the short man, “Say Henry, where did you get your new suit? It’s a peach all right.” “Well, Jonathan,” returned the short one, “I bought it over across the street there at Traub & Selig’s. Gave seven-fifty for it, and believe me, it looks good to me. Guess I.’aint the regular dandy now, huh! And say, John, since you brought the subject up, that’s a pretty good looking suit yffu have on. Where did you buy yours?” * “Well,” returned the other, “you haven’t anything on me, I bought mine over at Traub & Selig’s too—gave $lO for it over two months ago and I’ve been wearing it most every day since too, ’taint showed the wear either. Since I first 'bought my suit, I bought one for my son, Lawson, and I also bought the kids a suit apiece from Traub & Selig’s, and by jimminey it’s the first suit either of ’em had that they can’t wear out. I’m going across the street now and do some shoppin’ there. Want to go ’long, Henry?” “Sure, I do,” responded the short man, “I’ve got some shopping to do myself, and take it from me, Jonathan, it’s going to be at Traub & Selig’s store, too.”

Halton Powell Co.

The Halton Powell company once more demonstrated their ability to make them laugh. “Let George Do It,” last night was about the most screamingly funny farce ever played in Rensselaer. The house was full and we can safely say there never was a more pleased audience in the theatre. Each night the play seems to be better than the evening before. Nothing quite like last night's bill was ever presented here before, in fact, none of Mr. Powel’s plays have ever been presented in Rensselaer. This city has never had a stock company before which really could play farce comedies. Tonight the company will present “The Price She Paid,” at a slight advance in prices. It is hoped the theatre will be packed the balance of the week.

COLLEGEVILLE.

At the general meeting of the athletic association last Sunday, Harold Moran was elected president by a few votgs only over Chas. McArdle, to succeed Thomas Harrington; the vote received by Lloyd Curby for secretary was almost unanimous. He had been acting secretary for James Fitzgerald, who has been j&bsent from the college on account of illness during the last three months, but will return at the opening of the next term. John Guedelhofer was given the office of treasurer by a large majority to do the arduous work of collecting the fees, which was so ably done by Joseph Gordon during the last session. The board of directors will be elected Jan 26. Among the juniors a four-team base ball league has been organized. A series of games is scheduled to be played on Sunday afternoons. The little fellows are showing great interest in the new venture, and are working hard to capture the first Indoor base ball prize. The stars of the mat, and the grinders of the bars, and other acrobatic performers are preparing for a public exhibition of their art, to be given pome time during next March. The Varsity added another pearl to its lengthening string of victories when they defeated the Goodland Carleton Club last Saturday afternoon in the college gymnasium, 48 to 26. Most of the visitors’ points were made on long shots from the middle of the hall, for the number of such points made in one game they no doubt hold the record on the local floor. The Varsity did not play with its usual snap arid fleetness, or their end of the score would have been much larger. Quite a number of spectators from Rensselaer were out to witness the game. At this game the Varsity appeared for the first time in their nobby new monogramed maroon sweaters. The next game wifi be on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 19, when the Palmer Monitors, of Chicago, will come down in search of Hoosier trophies, .n good game is assured for the Monitors are the champions of last year’s City Park League, and they are playing the same team that won that distinction. K. L. Stockton is continuing his work with the Varsity and will be down for another drill Saturday afternoon.
