HORSE STOLEN FROM FRANK KING’S BARN

Driving Animal for Which He Had Refused $350 Taken From Stable Some Time Sunday Night. H. Frank King, the blacksmith, found this Monday morning at 6 o’clock that his fine driving horse had been stolen from the barn the night before. A set of harness was also missing. There was no clew as to the direction taken by the thief or thieves. Mr. King had refused $350 for the horse and valued it' above that figure as a family driver. The Republican printed cards describing the horse an<J these have been mailed to a large number of towns and cities. There is rather a remote chance of capturing the thief, however, especially if he Was stolen by a professional at the business. Mr. King is of the opinion that he was taken early Sunday night and probably driven a considerable distance before daylight, The cards sent out describe the animal as follows: A bay gelding carriage horse, 6 years old, white star in face about size of dollar; one white hind foot, Scar on outside of right front knee, weight about 1,200. Brass-mounted haspess taken with him, and horse supposed to be driven to buggy. Mr. King will give SSO reward for recovery of horse, ar SIOO for horse, and conviction of tnief.

Campaign for New High School Building is Lively.

Union township is soon to be in the violent sally of a campaign, the like of which has never been felt before and which will doubtless make all the political campaigns of the township in previous years look very insignificant. The war will beVwaged over the location of the new high school building. The township is large and it is important to locate the building so that it will be used by the largest possible per cent of high school students now and in the future. Fair Oaks, Parr and the German settlement have been suggested as locations and the champions of each plaeS are very ardent in their sympathies. Fair Oaks was first on the ground with a petition and now the south end people are getting busy and this Monday evening are folding a meeting at Rose Bud to discuss ways and means of locating the building some other place. Trustee Kight lives at Fair Oaks and if he had the sole say in the matter - it is probable would locate it at Fair Oaks. An appeal, however, will be made to Superintendent Lamson, and it is quite certain that he will try to locate the building to suit the majority of'the school patrons even if he has to resort to a primary election to determine which place suits the majority.

Sale of Farm Causes Two Sales in City Property.

* Mrs. Eli Critser, a daughter of the fate John Groom, has sold 30 acres which she inherited from her father to D. S. Makeever. The land is the east part of the Groom farm, east of the Groom bridge and north and west of the former Alf Collins farm, which Mr. Makeever now owns. The farm is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Poole and the house is being enlarged and remodeled. The sale of the land by Mrs. Critser brought about the sale of two pieces of town property. Mrs.' Critser bought of County Clerk J. H. Perkins his residence property in the south part of town, paying $2,300 for it, and Mr. Perkins then purchased the I. N. Warren property on South Cullen street for the same price. Mr. Perkins, who has been living in a house belonging to Dr. Turfler, will move into the Warren property at onee.

Head Over Heels in Butter at the Creamery.

W. E. Harris, manager of the Dexter creamery, reports that they are head over heels in work. More cream is being received than ever before at this time of the year and the factory is now turning out from 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of butter a week. This is an institution that means a great deal to Rensselaer and the surrounding country. There is no opposition in the cream buying business but the local concern is paying the best price the market justifies. Mr. Harris is a hustler and the butter-maker understands his business.’

W. J. Yeiter Writes From Hamilton, N. Dak., for Paper.

Will J. Yeiter, formerly of the old Blackford neighborhood, who went to Hamilton, N. Dak., two years ago, writes to have The Republican sent to him, saying, “We are almost lost without it.” He continues as follows: “We are having a nice spring, just a little wet and the seeding is not all done, but is in full blast and everything is on the rush.”

Entered January 1, 18*7, as second class mail matter, at the post-offlce at Rensselaer, Indiana, under the act of March J, 187*.

We have noticed through the columns of The Rensselaer Republican that a movement is on foot, headed by Frank Goff, and others, to locate the Union township high school building at Fair Oaks. The article stated that the race was between Parr and Fair Oaks. This, however, is a mistake. The Parr people have not made any race, as they believe that this is a matter to be settled by the patrons of the proposed high school, by a petition to the trustee or the county superintendent, as the case may be. High schools are built for the benefit of those who patronize them and for the upbuilding of the country. It is the intention of the legislature to improve on agricultural science, as well as the other sciences. Where is the location at Fair Oaks that would be suitable for a high school, suitable for all intents and purposes? Fair Oaks is located near the Newton county line. The country north of it is occupied by tennants who do not own their own land. The country east of it is partially occupied by tenants. Where are its pupils to come from? Is’t reasonable that parents living in the southeast part of Union, township will drive eleven miles to send their children to the Fair Oaks high school, when they can send them six miles to Rensselaer, where there is now maintained an excellent high school? \Eighty-five per cent of the graduates for the past ten years have been located in the south and southeast portions of the township, while the other fifteen per cent have been located at Virgie and near Fair Oaks. We believe that Trustee Kight will act as an impartial trustee and will pct for the whole township and not for the town of Fair Oaks alone. This is not a political move and we don’t think it necessary for Mr. Goff to wear out all the livery horses in the country to get signers for a high school at Fair Oaks, as there are other parts of the township who will ask to be represented in a legal way. The taxpayers of the township and the school patrons will have a voice and will demand that a school be built where the environment is the best and location most convenient for the scholars, who will attend. FAIR PLAY.

PERRY GOODNER IN JAIL AT MITCHELL

Man 'Who Skipped Out Five Years Ago With Rented and Mortgaged Property Captured. Perry Goodner is in jail at Mitchell, S. Dak., and Sheriff Hoover, of Jasper county, is on the road after him, bearing a requisition signed by the governor of two states. « Five years ago next September Goodner disappeared from Rensselaer. He took with him a buggy which he had rented from Liveryman John M. Knapp, a team of mules which were mortgaged to John M. Judy and is presumed to have taken along another man’s wife. The mules were later recovered by Judy, but not until he had spent their value in money looking for them. The buggy was never recovered. Mr. Knapp has been trying for five years to locate Goodner. and it was his relentlessness that resulted in his apprehension last week at Mitchell. The woman Goodner was supposed to have taken with him eventually returned here. Sheriff Hoover is expected to return hefe Thursday and Gtoodner will probably get a trip over the road.

THE NOTHINGNESS OF DEATH.

Death, therefore, to us is nothing, concerns us not a jot, since the nature of the mind is proved to be mortal. And, as in time gone by we felt distress when the Point from all sides came together to do battle and all things shaken by war’s troublous uproar shuddered and quaked beneath high heaven and mortal men were in doubt which of the two peoples it should be to whose empire all must fall by sea and land alike, thus, when we shall be no more, when there shall have been a separation of body and soul, out of both of which we are each formed into a single being, to us. you may be sure, who then shall be no more, nothing whatever can happen to excite sensation, not if earth shall be mingled with the sea and sea with heaven. And, even supposing the nature of the mind and power of the soul do feel after they have been severed from our body, yet that is nothing to us, who by the binding tie of marriage between body and soul are formed each into one single being. And, if time should gather up our matter after our death and put it once more into the position in which it now is and the light of fife be given us again, this result even would concern us not at all when the chain of our self consciousness has once been snapped asunder.—Titus Lucretius Caros.

WEATHER FORECAST. Showers tonight and Tuesday.

Not Long to Wait for The Great Sparks Circus.

Wednesday, May 21, the Sparks World’s Famous Shows will hold forth in this city for a matinee and night exhibition, and the rare, unique and wonderful that have been promised on paper will become a reality. The airy riders who, in diaphanous skirts, have been piroueting on the expansive backs of beautiful and speedy circus horses (on the bill boards) will be seen in all the gorgeousness of tulle and seductive smile: the elephants will copy their pictured acts of comedy and go them one better; the contortionist will proceed to disentagle himself from the knots .he tied in his responsive body last year; the acrobatic families will turn dizzy somersaults and the clowns will work off their latest comedy stunts to the great delight of the crowds present —we all like the clowns. There is nothing on earth like the cirqus. It is the people’s show par excellence. It is the one great American amusement that appeals to all the people. The expert knows what is coming every minute of the show, but he wouldn’t have it changed for worlds. The very conventionalism of most of the performance is what makes it so delightful. The merit in a’ big circus like the Sparks Shows is in the fact that everything in the show is the very best of its kind. There must Inevitably be riding acts, but the riders are the leaders of their profession. - There must be acrobats, but the aerobatic artists and aerialists are gathered from the wide world, and are the best that money can procure. It is this superiority in the quality of the performers that makes the Sparks Shows such a welcome visitor. /
