Louis Muster made a trip to Logansport today.. Miss Regina Burris continues to improve and her physician today regards her as practically out of danger. Take a trip to Los Angeles. The beautiful scenery in and about that marvelous city will be shown at the Princess tonight. Born, July 28th. to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lowman, of Barkley township, a daughter. Alex. Frye, of Lafayette, who had been in Chicago on business, stopped off in Rensselaer today to look after some business. An extra good show for band concert at the Princess theatre tonight. See “The Swanee River,” a delightful Selig drama from the old song favorite. Mrs. Grant Warner went to Indianapolis today to remain for two or three days with her sister, Miss Clara Robinson, whose improvement has continued tor the past several days. • Mr. and Mrs. Albert Coen, of Berwyn, 111., who have been spending the week here with her mother, Mrs. J. M. Wasson and her sister, Mrs. J; J. Hunt, went to Monticello today for a brief visit with some relatives of Mr. Coen. County Assessor John Q. Lewis returned - Wednesday afternoon from Indianapolis, where he attended the meeting of the state tax commission board. An effort is being made to Increase taxation and there is talk of increasing all assessments. Mr. Lewis made a good talk against it and hopes that in Jasper county they will be left just as assessed. • It is noticeable that many auto owners are not supplied with the 1913 licenses and it is reported that many have not made application for the new license tags. They are subject to arrest and fine for violation of the law. It Is manifestly unjust for some to pay their tax and others to escape. The only good number now is the yellow background number, with the figures 1913 contained thereon. Fred Llnbaek, on the Tryon farm, has had a lot of bad luck the past few months. Within a year he lost by de-»th three good work horses and five colts, a thousand dollar's worth of horses. The storm a few days ago set fire to a riek of hay and burned it. The riek contained about ten tons. He had SSO worth of insurance but that will not be half the value of the hay. Many Rensselaer people went to Goodland today to see the aeroplane, the main attraction, and the GoodlandrChattsworth tall game, which also attracted a good many. About all the autos in town were used to transport the people. C. C. Warner and wife took with them his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Warner, who do not get out very often and to whom, the trip and the sight will doubtless prove a great treat A letter from Mrs. George H. Healey, written at Holton, Kans, states that there is much suffering from drouth there. A water famine prevails and the elty plant does not permit the use of water in closets or bath and lawns are burned up and vegetation resembles conditions In the tall. In Missouri, where she visited last week, the crops were fine, oom being especially fine Mrs. Healey will leave in a few days tor Teague, Tex., to visit her sister, Mrs. J. J. LaFlower. • Twin babies, a boy and a girl, were born Wednesday to Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Jobes, of Newland. The girl baby was stillborn. Indications point to the saving of the male ehlld.
