Monon Baseball Team to Play Rensselaer Sunday After Next.

A letter from the manager of the Monon baseball team states that he had closed arrangements for next Sunday before receiving acknowledgement of a date offered to the Rensselaer team and that he can- not bring his team here until the following Sunday, July 20th. This leaves Rensselaer without a game next Sunday unless one can be arranged and an effort is being made to get either Morocco or Franeesville. ■ •* The baseball team has been doing splendidly in a financial way and if the members will stick with the team and will get out and practice and put themselves in shape to win the suport will be even more than it has been heretofore and there will be a fine divide for the players at the end of the season. Sunday’s game proved a good deal of a farce, because the regular players were not in their positions. The material is here for a god team and we can have it if all wllljdo their part. A meeting will be held Friday evening, at which time a full financial report will be made and sbme matters affecting the policy of the team discussed. Every player and as many of the stockholders as can get out should attend the meeting.

REPUBLICAN P. M.’S MUST NOT BLINK EYES

Postmaster-General Burleson Will Get Them if There is the Slightest Opportunity. The fact that republican postmaster’s terms do not expire for from one to three years is th.e cause of much dissatisfaction among democratic aspirant® for preferment, and it is to be the policy of Post-master-General Burleson to remove them on the slightest provocation. Just a little complaint will result in an investigation and if there is any little thing off colof out will go the republcan p. m. and in will go some democrat. Indications are that George B. Haywood will be fired at Lafayette. He has run the postoffice well enough to satisfy most people but a clerk was short and Postmaster Haywood is being criticized for having given the clerk too much rope. Mr. Haywood says that he has had enough postoffice anyway and would be glad to resign to accommodate some democrat, but that he will refuse to budge from the job under charges. In the meantime other republican postmasters are wondering When their time will come and there are plenty of patriotic democrats anxious to get the jobs.

Has Some Valuable Walnut Timber Reserved in Illinois.

Included In the estate of B. J. Gifford was forty acres of walnut timber over in Illinois. Mr. Gifford sold the land nineteen years ago but reserved the timber for twenty years. As there is now less than a year of the time left the timber must he sold or it will revert to the owner of the land. The executor, George H. Gifford, and Thos. Callahan were on the ground last week to look it over and to try to make a sale, but missed connections with the prospective buyer and another trip will be arranged. Walnut timber in the tree is now worth about s6d per thousand and the estate will derive quite a little jmoney from the timber.

SPECIAL JUDGE DECIDES FOR DITCH

Declares Ryan Ditch of Public Utility and Modifies Assessments of Some Taxpayers. 1 -'-T Special Judge T. B. Cunningham, of Kentland. came this Tuesday ihorning to render his finding in the Ryan ditch case. As suggested before his departure after the evidence was in and the argument made he found in favor of the construction of the ditch, declaring it to be a public utility and order ing that it be established. He modified a number of the assessments of remonstratorg, the total amount of reduction being about $15,000. The B. J. Gifford estate is assessed about $50,000 for the construction of this diitch. Reductions aggregating about SBOO were made on the Gifford lands and the damages increased from about $6,000 to SB,OOO. All of the local attorneys who were interested were on hand when the finding was given, as also was George H. Gifford, of Tipton, executor of the B. J. Gifford will; William Guthrie, of Monticello, and A. E. Malsbury, of Lafayette. The latter has 200 acres of land in Gillam township, which was assessed $1,200 and h'e was greatly disappointed that the reduction order did not reach hiim. The Reed lateral was stricken out on Judge Cunningham’s order. The mrifti ditch is estimated to cost $201,000, while the various laterals will cost about $50,000. The attorneys for the ditch are Frank Foltz and George A. WilMams, and if they are. allowed a fee on the 4 per cent of estimated cos't basis, they will be allowed SIO,OOO. A motion for a new trial was made and overruled. Judge Cunningham held court open until 3 o’clock this afternoon to await action of attorneys whose clients may appeal. George H. Gifford gave notice of appeal, but it is quite probable that he will not have the appeal taken. He knows that the land.-needs the drainage and that in selling it a more ready market will be found If the drainage is under way. The attorneys for other remonstrators were generally well pleased with the reductions, although some talked of appealing, especially in joining with Executor Gifford if he determined to appeal.

“Pappy” and “Tubby” Fined For Maintaining Nuisance.

Since the death of Mrs. Jane Platt it is alleged that her son, John, commonly called “Pappy,” has been entertaining friends at the old home on Van Rensselaer street, and creating quite a nuisance by evidence of drunkenness and by noise and swearing. Mrs. Mary Deere occupies part of the house, and Monday night she swore out a warrent for the arrest of “Pappy” and whoever his companion or companions might be. Marshal Shesler went to the house and found “Pappy” and “Tubby” Gordon in about the most disgraceful debauch imaginable. The condition of Platt beggared description and a new wardrobe and a bath was needed very badly. He blamed “Tubby” for his condition. They were taken to the jail and locked up, making five prisoners that spent the night In the bastlle. The others were Ed Pawley, who has been there for about ten months; Claud Sigler, who Is charged with having entered Pred Phillips’ house and stolen money from a child’s bank, and “Billy” Lyons, who was brought over from Remington. Soon after the newcomers were installed In the jail Ed Pawley took a punch at Gordon and gave him the “knockout” count Platt and Gordon appeared before Squire Irwin this morning and pleaded guilty and were fined $5 and costs each, amounting to $7.80 each.. Platt gave B. N. Pendig as surety to Stay his fine and Gordon’s was stayed- by Bert Hopkins. Both of these characters have been fined and jailed before and it looks as though more severe punishment would be a good thing to administer. Probably a jail "or a roek pile sentence would have a wholesome effect on them.

OUR COUNTY AGENT WANTS TO MEET YOU

Asks That Farmers See Him or Gall By Telephone Whenever There is Anything He Can Do. O. G. Barrett, the county agricultural agent, is very desirous of meeting and conferring with the farmers of Jasper county along any line that is of special Interest to them, whether it is the solution of some farm problem , that has been troubling them or otherwise.. He called at The Republican office to ask that we make it understood that he will be more than pleased to meet with you, talk over the problems of the farm and give bis aid in any manner possible. He is at present located in the office of County Superintendent Lamson, where he can be reached telephone. His office hours will be Saturdays from 8 to 1 to 5. At* present he will spend the first five days of the week in the .field, hut the future may develop that it will be better to spend more time at the office. In an interview Mr. Barrett said; *T am very anxious to hear of the troubles of the farmers and to offer solutions where possible If I can not solve the problems I will go where the information can be obtained and thus help all who make application. It Is hoped that the farmers Mving in remote parts of the county will understand that they are entitled to the same Services from me as those living near Rensselaer. You are all taxpayers and there will certainly be no preferences shown. I am required to keep an automobile so that I can get to all parts of the county. So if you have trouble get hold of me by personal communication or by telephone and I will do my best to help you solve all difficulties pertaining to agriculture. I want you to understand that I am here to serve you. Get together, farmers, and use me, that is what I draw my salary for.” Mr. Barrett impresses us as a very energetic and splendidly qualified man and he is anxious to do everything possible to “make good,” both for himself and for the county agent proposition. The farmer who uses him will have an advantage over those who do not. With the backing of the agricultural experiment stations great possibilities await the farmers who accept the modern scientific instruction on the farm and the progressive farmers of this county should step right to the front and work shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Barrett.

Encouraging Word Received Regarding Hurley Beam.

Dr. M. D. Gwin, who accompanied Hurley Beam to the hospital in Chicago Monday, returned from there that evening and reported that clamps had been attached to the artery In Hurley's throat to. prevent the hemorrhages and that it was believed the trouble could he handled all right. Telegrams and telephone messages today have brought further encouragement and the last was to the effect that the clamps had been removed and that no other hemorrhages had occurred. Should they start again the artery would have to be tied. While the condition remains critical, the outlook Is much more encouraging than it was Monday.

County Agent Tells How To Get Rid of the “Blight.”

There seems to be considerable trouble throughout the county with blight on the apple and pear trees. Several farmers and townspeople of Rensselaer, as well, have asked me regarding their trees and this disease, and I am taking this means of helping all tree owners who may have trouble in this regard. The trouble is ‘Tire Blight.” It is a fungus trouble and the trees should be tended to at once, otherwise it is quite liable to mean a complete loss of the orchard. The dead branches should be cut off about eight inches to a foot below the dead part and all of these trimmings should be burned and not left on the ground to cause further trouble another year. O. G. BARRETT, County Agricultural Agent.
