Three Marriages Wednesday; Market Took Sudden Advance.

The marriage market took a sudden advance Wednesday and before noon of that day three blisscoveting couples had been granted licenses by County Clerk Perkins. The grooms in each case were far-, mers, while the brides were all accorded the occupations of “housekeeper” in the license record, and that is the most becoming term that can be applied to a bride. • On her ability in that occupation depends much of the happiness of the husband and the success of the compact into they are entering. Squire Irwin married one of the couples in the clerk’s office. The groom was Louis Schatzley, of near Wheatfield, and the bride was Miss Eva May McColly, of the same town. They will reside on a farm in northern Jasper. Rev. C. L. Harper had the other two weddings. The first was performed at the parsonage, the principals being Mark Elmer Hoover, of Pulaski county, and Miss Cleo Stella Mellender, of McCoysburg. They will reside on a farm near Medaryville. v In the evening at the home of Mrs. Clarence Clemens, northwest of Rensselaer, occurred the marriage of her daughter, Miss Bessie Mabel, to Mr. George B. Gowland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gowland. Rev. Harper performed this ceremony. They will reside on Mrs. George Gowland, Sr’s, farm, near where the young people were raised.

Doctors Say There is No Chance for Albert Alter.

Rensselaer Lady Gown Model in Terre Haute.

The Terre Haute Tribune publishes an artistic illustration in connection with a writeup of the fall exhibit of fine gowns by the Siegel store of that city, and one of the pictures is of Mrs. Charles Harmon, formerly of this city, and daughter of AU - , and Mrs. W. R. Brown. The gowns exhibited have values ranging from SSO to SSOO and are the latest creations of Parisian modistes. There were three other models and they paraded on a platform 35 feet long. Around the platform were stretched two gilt chains, fastened to posts entwined with autumn leaves. The ladies of the city were there in vast numbers and the models appeared in various gowns, street and business costumes and elaborate afternoon and evening gowns, with slit skirts and diaphanous styles for the vanity of “mere” women.

THREE BALL GAMES DURING THE POW-WOW

Lowell Thursday, Frankfort Friday and Remington SaturdayShould See All. The Pow-Wow ball games will be features of the three days’ celebration. Lowell plays today, Thursday. Frankfort comes on the excursion train and plays Friday afternoon. Remington plays Saturday. The Athletics have found it necessary to hire two players for this seites of games, owing to the fact that we have only one pitcher and that several of our players have recently left for college or gone to other places. It will be good news to fans to learn that Mason, of Morion, will be in the game, probably playing center field and being prepared to catch if any injury happens to Wilcox. Reitz, of Gary, will be at third base when not pitching. Clark will pitch the games against Lowell and Remington, while Reitz will pitch against Frankfort. Morgan will play in the Friday and Saturday games, but is today at Goodland, where he has employment in Lowman’s hotel. All who enjoy good ball games should see these contests. The monoplane flights take place from the ball park right after each game. Follow the band to the ball park and have a quarter ready for your admission ticket, so that no delay will be made in making change.

Daughter of James Ennis Winning Fame as Violinist.

The Indianapolis Star a few days ago published a picture of Miss Lenore M. Ennis, formerly of that city, who is now traveling with a New York organization through the west as a violinist. She is the daughter of James Ennis, of this city, by a former marriage, but her father has not seen her for many years. While tn Indianapolis Miss Ennis studied at the Conservatory of Music and the College of Musical Arts. She played in the Dennison hotel and assisted in musical enterprises. She then joined the Empire Women’s Orchestra, of Boston, then played a year’s engagement in the Schlitz gardens in Milwaukee. She was the only western girl in the organization. She then studied in the Metropolitan College of Applied Arts in New York. Recently she spent her summer vacation with relatives in southern Indiana. Mr. Ennis plans to visit her when the company to which sffie belongs plays in Indianapolis this year. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shlosses, of Minonk, HL, visited last week with her uncle, Fred Bachman and family, just north of town, and Fred returned with them in their automobile, visiting Minonk, Danvers, Streator, 111., and other places. At Streator a street fair was in progress. It was held at the fair grounds and was a grAat success and largely attended. Corn was almost a total failure at some points visited by Mr. Bachman, being small and he thinks much will not make to exceed 10 bushels to the acre.

tain Friday. On Saturday, morning at 40 o'clock, Mestach will make another flight and the last one will take place Saturday evening after the ball game with Remirtgton. Aviator Mestach was injured two weeks ago in a parachute drop and this feature will not be a part of the program here. This will in no manner detract from the Interest of the flights, however, as the para-

BABCOCK FOUND OUT WHERE HE STANDS

Demanded Resignation of McFarland as City Chairman and Then Faded Completely Away. The democrats had a splendid convention Wednesday night in the east court room, it being reported that 65 participated in the meeting. The occasion for the large crotvd was the fact it looked like there might be a test of strength between J. A. McFarland, the candidate of the progressive wing for city chairman, and the Babcock forces, representing the retrogressive and the recent lost postoffice faction. Both had made strenuous efforts to get out a large number of the voters. The retrogressive, however, were in the minority to such an extent that their effort to forestall the selection of Mr. McFarland was so feeble that they could not even get anyone to make the racj. The Babcock forces placed Attorney Arthur Tuteuj in nomination but he promptly declined. They then offered two or three other names with the same result, even naming O. K. Rainier, who was solidly aligned with the McFarland-Littlefield postoffice organization. All resigned, and finally, having exhausted every possible hope, the selection of Mr. McFarland was made unanimous. Unanimous, did we say, well/substantially so, although there was one little dissenting voice, the remnant of the “ninety per cent” of which he had so recently boasted. The remnant was F. E. Babcock, comic supplement editor. In order to make his humiliation complete, Mr. McFarland took the floor and stated that if there was any democrat who could not work harmoniously with him for democratic success he would be pleased to get out of the way. It was a neat little trap, and the taxpayers’ friend, the 30 per cent idol of his own profuse praise, at once took the floor. He said that as the editor of the democratic organ of the city he could not work in harmony with Mr. McFarland and demanded that McFarland tender his resignation. Mr. McFarland said that his offer to get out of the way was conditioned that the objector be of-substantial democratic standing, and Babcock faded away with the remark, “I won’t let you read me out of the party.” W. H. Barkley was elected secretary and ,C. W. Duvall treasurer of the city organization. The precinct committeemen were then chosen as follows: First ward, F. E. Babcock. Second ward, John Eigelsbach. Third ward, Lou Welsh. Active plans are being made for the coming city campaign and the convention to nominate a city ticket will be held Wednesday evening, Oct. Ist, at 7:30 o’clock in the east court room.

Next Presbytery Meeting at The First Church of Gary.

The next meeting of the Logansport Presbytery will be held at the First Presbyterian church at Gary, the selection of that city having been one of the last orders of business before adjournment . Tuesday afternoon. An adjourned meeting of the assembly here was arranged to be held in South Bend in about fwo months, to transact some business that could not be completed here.

chute leaps are just like the leaps from balloons, which all have seen.

See the Attractive Store Windows While in Rensselaer.

Rensselaer merchants have done much to make the Pow-Wow a success by decorating their windows appropriately. The window at W. J. Wright’s furniture store is especially worthy of praise. A woodland scene is made realistic by an artistic twining of small branches for a side and back ground. Ari Indian’s tepee has a fur rug on the ground and the Indian is sleeping in the open, rolled uf> in a blanket. His huhting knife is stuck into a stump near by, ancj at his side is a bludgeon that might be used In his defense if attacked. The grocery clerks at the -G. E. Murray store have arranged a window displaying several wild animals and birds. Other merchants have excellent displays of their stocks, the windows being very attractive and trade-inviting.

Pair Brought From Plymouth Are Still Confined in Jail.

Marshal Sheslef” returned from Plymouth Tuesday evening, having in charge Clarence Hamilton and Mrs. Cleve Harkrider, who are alleged to have been “putting up” together at a rooming house there. They are charged with illegal cohabitation, she with maintaining an immoral resort and he with frequenting it. The case was transferred from the justice’s court to the circuit court and a preliminary hearing held Wednesday, when they were released on a writ of habeas corpus. Ariother affidavit was filed and they were rearrested and sent back to jail in default of SIOO bail each. Their 'case has been set for trial next Monday afternoon.

Thought Mail Pouches Had o Been Stolen Wednesday Eve.

Mail Carrier McCarthy had a bad fright Wednesday evening and it lasted for several hours. His little white pony which is used for carrying the mail between the station and the postoffice wandered away and could not be found. In the buggy were three mail sacks. A search continued until 10 o’clock at night, when the animal was found calmly nibbling in the brush west of the depot. The mail sacks were still in the cart. Postmaster Murray was called to the office after the pony and the sacks were located and the mail taken to the office. It was thought for some time that the pony and the mail sacks had Been stolen.

Naps and Hups to Have Ball Game Saturday Morning,

Manager Ed Honan has arranged for the ball patk for a game Saturday forenoon between the Rensselaer Naps and the Monticello Hups. The game will take place immediaitely after the morning aeroplane flight and the admission will be 15 cents. > These teams should give a good exhibition and the game will be worth your money to witness.

County Agent Notes.

While attending the Pow-Wow this week, drop in at the court house and meet Mr. Barrett, the agricultural agent. Mr. Barrett will not be at the Bank of Wheatfield next Wednesday, owing to the fact that he will be out on the corn selection demonstrations that day.

To find a buyer for your property, use a classified adv. in this paper. A Classified Adv. will rent it

coupled with the ball games and the street attractions the Pow-Wow will certainly prove worth coming many miles to witness. While the machine may be seen In the air from a considerable distance, the most interesting feature is the starting of tflF flight and the alighting after the flight is over. To see this a person should be inside the ball park.
