COLLEGEVILLE.

Inauguration day was a general holiday for all the students. During the present week those who failed in the last examinations are taking the special tests to work off their conditions. Rev. Horstman, one of the star athletes in the early, days of the college, came down from Lowell to witness the Notre Dame game Wednesday. On Friday afternoon the Varsity goes to Whiting to play the Whiting high school team. Since both teams have been in charge of Coaeh K. L. Stocktdn, it will be a matching of similar wits, and it surely ought to be a fast game. The acrobats are very busily engaged in the perfecting of their various stunts and tricks. They have some genuine new perfoimances that were never produced on the local stage. The exhibition is billed for Sunday evening, and will begin at seven o’clock.

Some Real Classy Home Talent in Vaudeville Act.

The Wang-Doodle quartette, composed of Harry Eger, John Morgan, Mel Haas and Emmet Laßue, proved a big sensation in the way of refined entertainment when they appeared for the first time as a vaudeville team at the Princess Theatre Wednesday evening and the packed houses gave them the glad hand in so hearty a manner that it expressed genuine approval. The songs were all good ones and were sung so cleverly that the quartette was forced to respond to severa enchores. The “Boogy Man” proved an especially popular one with the audience and the singers could doubtless make a hit on the vaudeville stage with it and a few others, for there have been no singing acts appear here that .approached the Wang-Doodle quartette as audience pleasers. Strangers in the city were profuse with their praise.

Another Rensselaer Boy in Wilson Inaugural Parade.

The Republican learns today of another Rensselaer boy who was in Washington on Wilson’s inaugural day and who participated in the parade. It was Don P. Warren, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marsh Warren, who is now a corporal in the 169th coast artillery company of the United States army. He is stationed at Fort Monroe, Virginia, and his was one of four companies from that post that went to the inauguration. His parents today received a"letter from him, giving an account of the inauguration. The body of Miss Agnes Carr, the young lady who died suddenly at Wilmington, N. C., where she was teaching school, arrived in Monon, her home, today, for burial. The superintendent of the schools at Wllmington-<ccompanied the body to Monon. It is said that the young lady was sitting in a chair in her room when the end came and it is believed that she had heart trouble in addition to the goiter. The funeral will be largely attended in Monon, where she is said to have been a great favorite. W. J. Sanderson left yesterday for his home at Monte Vista, Colo., after a visit of a few days with his son-in-law, George Michael, and wife. Mr. Sanderson had brought through to Chicago a shipment of sheep and was on the road about five days. Three times during the' past year he has topped the Chicago market with Mexican lambs and he regards the market as considerably better than Kansas City. The Mexican sheep are fed on Canada peas, which are grown in the San Luis valley and the business has proven quite profitable.

C. & C. I. DONT Want TO RUN TRAIN

Insist oh Rehearing Before Commission and People Along Route Are Asked to Attend It. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad don’t want to run a passenger train over the LaCrosseGoodland branch and they are again insisting that they be granted a rehearing of their case. The commission has set Thursday, March 13th, as the date for the rehearing and a letter from the commission to John Bowie, president of the Wheatfield Improvement Association, asks that he and others who are interested come before the board at that time. Persons along the line of the road should make it a point to attend the meeting. The running of this train is valuable to Rensselaer trade and merchants here should use their influence to have the train retained. ; It is reported that one or two knockers have been trying to have the train taken off, just because of their insatiate jealousy. The railroad commission should refuse to pay any attention to those whose lack of interest in the public welfare would cause them to try to have the-train service discontinued.

Professional Notice.

During my absence in New York ana Baltimore my practice will be left in the care of Dr. C. E. Johnson, and all calls will receive the same attention I would have given them personally. DR. I. M. WASHBURN.

Good Work Horses.

We have shipped In a carload of good work horses from lowa. Any person in need of good horses should see H. F- Kink or John M. Knapp. The horses are at Knapp’s livery barn. Somebody at Pleasant Ridge, 0.. has sent The Herald a good natured cartoon from the Cincinnati Enquirer representing Uncle Sam as the train caller in a railway station announcing a train on “track 23” just ready to depart, and “Woody” inspecting tickets at the gate. Among the passengers hurrying to get aboard are W. H. Taft, Uncle Joe Cannon, Secretary Knox, Secretary Wilson, Nick Longworth, Senator Cullom and a host of other republicans, including Congressman Crumpacker. It is a great time for cartoonists and the funny men of high and low degree. We hope nothing may happen to dash their jovial spirits, but the very bunch they are lampooning now may be doing the laughing four years hence.—Monticello Herald.

Three cases of smallpox in the mailing division of the postoffice at Chicago within the last two weeks have led to the vaccination of all employes in the division by the health department. Dr. Hernan Spaulding said health authorities are watching closely for further signs of the disease. Scarlet fever is increasing, seventy-one eases being reported Monday, together with twenty-six cases of diphtheria. Itching, torturing skin en|ptions disfigure, annoy, drive one wild.

His father went to Kansas some thirty years ago and this was the first time the Indiana relatives had ever seen this nephew. C. M. Paxton and wife arrived at Attica several days ago from Longmont, Colo., and he came on to Rensselaer today. They will move here if a house can be rented. Mr. Paxton disposed of his interests near Longmont, to which city he moved seven years ago. He also has a farm in Newton township, and it was business connected with that that brought him here today. Miss Willmer, the reader, was lost to the audience, for her listeners saw and heard some twelve or more men and women who lived in the time of Nero, thirty-two years after ! the crucifixion of Jesus.

He returned this morning from Monon with 16 dozen frogs and disposed of the legs at 20 cents a dozen. Local demand for them is such that shipment is not necessary, at least until he harvests them in larger quantities.

GROWTH OF INDIANA TOLD IN STATISTICS

Vast Wealth in Fanns and Improvements of Hoosier State and Y We Are Still Growing.

Behold, how great and how good it is to have Indiana as a home and to -be numbered among her peaceful, prosperous people. But let your Uncle- Sam quote you some facts and figures just to prove the truth of all our claims. There are 215,485 farms in Indiana, the land surface Included in farms being 21,299,823 acres. The total wealth of the state in the form of farm property is $1,809,135,000, of which 88.1 per cent is represented by lands and buildings, 2.3 per cent by implements and machinery and 9.6 per cent by live stock. The total value of all farm property in Indiana in 1850 was $165,568.172, being considerably less than one-tenth of the present valuation. In 1850 the total value of farm land and buildings in Indiana was $136,385.173, as against $1,954,275,595 shown by the census of 1910. In the same period the value of implements and machinery increased from $6,704,444 to $40,999,541, and the value of domestic amimals, poultry and bees from $22,478,555 to $173,860,101. In 1850 the average number of acres in an Indiana farm was 136.2. In 1910 the average number of acres in each farm was 98.8, a decrease of 37.4 acres. The decrease was continuous from 1850 to 1900, but especially rapid from 1850 to 1870. During the last decade, however, there was an increase of I.4jn the average acres per farm. The average value of the land and buildings of an average farm in Indiana in 1850 was $1,453, as against $7,399 in 1910. The average value of land per acre in 1850, taking the state as a whole, was $10.66, while the average of land and buildings per acre in 1910 was $74.85.

During the last decade the average value per acre of Indiana farm land and buildings has about doubled, an increase 1% times as great as that of the preeeeding half century. The value per farm of farm equipment, which includes machinery and live stock, is now more than three times as great as sixty years ago. v For the first time since the government was established the census bureau has secured information concerning the color and nativity of Indiana farmers. On that interesting point the report says: “Approximately nineteen out of twenty Indiana farmers were native whites, about one of the twenty being foreign born white. Only 805, or four-tenths of 1 per cent of all farmers were rion-white, 785 be ing negroes and twenty Indians. Of the native whites, 30.7 per cent were tenants, as compared with 15.3 per cent among foreign-born whites and 39.5 per cent among the nonwhite farmers.

“Of the total of 9,729 foreign-born white fanners in 1910, 5,563 were born in Germany, 642 in Sweden, 550 in England, 547 in Switzerland, 369 in Holland, 457 in Austria, 201 in Canada, and 166 in France.” Nearly half of the farmers of Indiana hire labor and the average amount expended by those hiring is $l7O per annum. One-fifth o:! the amount expended for labor is in the form of rent and board.

WHISKEY AS EASY TO GET AS WATER

Correspondent Says That Remington Police Officers Have Been Busy Handling Drunks. “For the past few days the officers have been busy handling drunks. Whiskey seems as easy to get as water.” '' ; The Remington correspondent to The Republican sends the above paragraph. We believe that there are enough temperance people in Remington to put a stop to such conditions and they should regard it as their duty to get busy and find out enough on which to base affidavits. ■ As The Republican remarked recently when The Press hurled its criticism at' Prosecuting Attorney Longwell and Sheriff Hoover, these men are not detectives and their office does not presume that they shall act as such. Their duty begins when the people have secured the information on which they can reasonably expect to secure conviction and not before. If there is illegal liquor selling going on in Remington, it would probably not take much effort to locate the guilty parties and if they are found we can promise for Prosecutor Longwell that his prosecution will be relentless. A conviction or two with a jail sentence, will be an emphatic means, of breaking up the bootlegging joints. Let those who know anything speak up and start the ball rolling.
