CHAUTAUQUA PLEASED LARGE AUDIENCE

Immense Crowds Heard Thursday Programs and All Were Delighted and Will Go Again. The second day’s Chautauqua was better than the first and Platform Manager Davis says that the program will get better each day, and this seems to be the case. Our people are certainly taking hold of the Chautauqua with delighted interest and there can be no comparison between it and any other week’s entertainment that was ever in Rensselaer. Those who have not started should not put it off any longer, but start with tonight and attend every program, afternoon and evening. Young and old were delighted with Prof. Louis Williams’ demonstrationa in science and electricity. He possesses a fund of dry humor that made nis part of the entertainment even more enjoyable and from the smallest children to the oldest person in the audience there was an hour of enjoyment and enlightenment. The tenor solos of Mr. Lindquest were applauded so vigorously that he was called back time and again and the audience would have been amply repaid for their expenditure if there had been no other number on the program. Dr. Aaron S. Watkins is a droll 'humorist, with a fund of amusing stories, and he kept the audience in ripples of laughter. His afternoon lecture was a temperance argument, and still was immensely humorous. In the evening he talked of “Fools and Failures,” and said that practically all the men and women who had accomplished great things, things that revolutionized the world, had been called fools when they first suggested the possibilities of their projects. Columbus was a “fool” for saying the earth was round; Morse was a “fool” for trying to convey sound over a wire; Field was a “fool” for trying to plant a cable to convey sound across the ocean; Fulton was a “fool” for trying to propel a boat with steam. But the accomplishment of their claims had made fools of those who were ready to denounce them. The speaker engaged in some prophecy respecting the possibilities of the future and warned us not to place discouragements in the way of those who plan great things. His lecture was intersperced with many well-told stories. Through the courtesy of the management the scholars of the grades and the high school. 500 strong, are this afternoop attending the Chautauqua, free of cost. It Is a very generous thing for the management of the Chautauqua and for Superintendent Dean, who dismissed the school at 2:20 o’clock to permit the children to attend. Tonight Dr. E. L. Eaton will speak from the subject: “Glories "of the Firmamenff ’ The ClartoWalker Concert Co. will sing **Phe Old Songs With Violin Obligato” Tomorrow is band day and the Lincoln Chautauqua Orchestra will be here, also Colonel Gearhart, a lecturer that you should not fail to hear. The merchants of the town will close at 7:30 tonight and Monday night, so that business men and clerks can attend the program.

William Garland Severely Injured by a Colt’s Kick.

William Garland, who lives on Mrs. Thos. Daugherty’s farm southeast of town, suffered a' severe Injury Thursday afternoon, when kicked by a colt. The animal’s hoof struck him over the right eye, fracturing the frontal skull bone. Serious complications are not expected, but he will probably be a considerable time In recovering. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Bundy returned to their home at Vallonla today, after having spent several days visiting Mrs. Ellen E. Bundy and family, and attending the wedding Wednesday of Miss Flora Gundy and Mr. Edward 8. Spurgeon.

Attorney for Jasper Has Ascertained the Amount Due From Newton and Other Coutnies. Some time ago the Newton County Enterprise reported the cheeking up of the accounts for the past ten years between Newton and other counties of venued cases and pub lished the figures disclosed by an examination of th’e record. Jasper county was found to be indebted in the sum of $2,210. County Attorney Dunlap, for Jasper county, at once had the cases that have been handled in this county on change of venue checked and it was found that Newton county owes us an offset to their claim, $1,575, which would' still leave a balance due Newton county of $635, but Attorney Dunlap does not concede that amount due Newton county, owing to the fact that for a great many years Newton county has been using our jail for all of its prisoners, paying us only 40 cents a day for their care, while bearing none of the expense of jail upkeep, .etc. It is quite probable that a hill for this will be made out and included in the statement sent to our neighbor. There is a possibility that the errors may have crept into the checking up of these accounts, covering so many years and Attorney Dunlap will recommend to the commissioners that the accounts be counter-checked, Newton county sending some one here and Jasper county sending an accountant to Kentland. It is quite certain that there is something due our neighbor in this matter, as Jasper county has sent more cases there for trial than Newton county has sent here. The search of the records disclose that other counties are indebted to Jasper as follows: Benton i $ 12 Carroll 6 Starke 6 Pulaski 12 Porter 12 Lake 52 White 101 Total .$2Ol A new law requires that hereafter these matters be checked up after each term of court and settlement made at the time.

FACT

Local Evidence. Evidence that can be verified. Fact is what we want. Opinion is not enough. Opinions differ. Here’s a Rensselaer fact. Tou can test it. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: "In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market 1 have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used therm and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Slnee then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or of backache I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig's Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

NO FATALITIES IN SPIRITED COMBAT

Evenly Matched Belligerents Struggle Through Nine Innings With 19 to 18 Score. The soft ball game proved a very interesting diversion for the participants and a few spectators Thursday afternoon. Practically all of the advertised principals were on hand for the fray, but an apparent disparity in the teams caused a new arrangement and C. G. Spitler and J. D. Allman were made captains and chose up sides. Their judgment of the players could not have been better, for the score at the conclusion of the affray was 19 to 18, and /the see-saw might have gone on indefinitely, for after the full game had been played severi more innings were played with a tie seore of 7to 7. (Jhptaln Spitler’s team had the distinction of winning the game. Elmer Cook was the active uftapire, with M. B. Price as the court of last resort. Up to Myrt were brought all the fine questions of the game and to his impartial judgment may be credited the fact that the game went to an harmonious close. ~ The events of the game would have made a pagfe write-up if all could be recorded, while a movingpicture vender might have procured some excellent comedy if he had set his machine alongside the diamond. W. V. Porter, G. M. Wilcox, B. J. Moore, G. W. Scott, Dr. C. E. Johnson and Devere Yeoman were the principal acrobats, each getting a hard fall, hut all coming out without serious injuries. Probably G. M. Wilcox, “father of the boys,” was the real star of the game. He featured at the bat and In the field. E. P. Honan, H. W. Kiplinger, J. W. Tilton, W. S. Parks and J. D Allman caught a ball occasionally, just to show that all the agility of youth had not departed. Walter V. Porter is said to have come out of the conflict with the only perfect score of muffs, the score book showing that he had a thousand per cent, 19 chances and all missed. Dr. Washburn and Dr. Myer were in good shape by reason of much tennis playing and Eliper. Wilcox because of his baseball activities, but all others showed that they had hit the toboggan and were going back to the minors. • It was so much fun that another game is apt to be played some time the latter part of next week. It’s a shame to get old.

YOUNG MAN SUCCUMBS TO TYPHOID FEVER

Son of Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Jacks, of Lee, Died Thursday Afternoon —Mother is HL Hollis Jacks, 17 years of age, died Thursday afternoon at about 4 o’clock, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Jacks, of Lee. A relapse from typhoid fever caused his death. Himself and mother were both taken sick several weeks ago and typhoid fever had run its course and both were convalescent! He suffered a relapse the first of the week and Wednesday there occurred a perforation of the small intestine of the bowels, a condition that frequently results In typhoid cases. Peritonitis follows the perforation and death is Inevitable unless an operation is immediately and successfully performed. It is understood that no operation was undertaken, as the condition was so bad when the attending physician first saw the patient after the rupture occurred. Mrs. Jacks is Just able to sit up and the effect of her son’s death upon her is a matter of grave concern. Relatives here have not been informed of the funeral arrangements, but It is quite probable that the burial will be made Saturday morning.
