Band Concert Tonight to Be Final For Season.

Tonight’s band concert will be the last of the 1913 season and should be one of the largest attended, as the county teachers’ institute will be adjourned in order that the teachers stay attend the concert. The season has been a very delightful one and large crowds have assembled every Thursday evening. The boys’ band, organized about six years ago, has developed into a splendid musical organization and has probably been the best band Rensselaer has ever had. Much of the credit for this goes to Prof. Otto Braun, the instructor, who took the youths when they did not know one instrument from another and has developed the individual musicians as well as the band as a whole. In compliment to the band the streets should be crowded this evening.

Squire Irwin Marries Couple From Newland—To Live on Farm.

Justice Irwin, the “Marrying Squire,” had a wedding just before noon today, the principals being Miss Effie Wolf and Mr. Samuel Bowen, of Newland, It was the groom’s second marriage, although he is only a little past 23 year's of age. Himself and first wife were divorced about a year and a half ago, the trial being rather a sensational one and bringing Into court a large number of witnesses. The wife was at that time given the custody of their child and also alimony for its support, but evidence was later submitted to show that the child would be better eared for by the father and the court issued a new order and gave the father the custody and relieved him of the payment of further aliihony. Young Bowen is of good reputation and himself and bride are nice looking young people and stand high in their neighborhood. They were accompanied to the clerk’s office and the “marrying parlors” by Mr. and Mrs. John Wolf, he being a brother of the bride. They will reside on a farm near Newland.

KICK OF MITCHELL SIX OUTCLASSES MAUD

Jack Walker Suffers Broken Arm and Three Ribs—Says I. N. G~' Could Drive Mex Into Sea. Tombstone, Ariz. (/ Oct. 4, 1913. Rensselaer Republican, Gentlemen: I guess you will think that I am having a good deal of .trouble in lighting when I ask you to please change Hie address of niy Republican from Tucson here. I have been located in Tucson all summer, but returned here and resumed my court work last week. When I went away, there was a change of judges here and the state being overwhelmingly democratic at this tirhe, there was no question but what a 1 democratic judge would be appointed upon the resignation of the former judge for whom I worked, and so without waiting for the appointment to be made, I resigned -and went to Tucson and took charge of my store there: some two or three weeks after which the appointment being made, regardless of the fact that the appointee was a democrat, he immediately called me on the phone and insisted upon my ’ returning, and later I consented to do so, inasmuch as I could leave my store in good hands there, and it would be conducted as successfully as if I would give my personal attention to, it. I have been having some tough luck this summer, and while I am now able to work, have only been so in the last ten days. I have a big Mitchell Six car, and while it is equipped with a self-starter, on this morning in question, the starter failed to work and I attempted to start it with the old armstrong method, and while I have heard a good deal of the strength of the proverbial mule kick, I want to say, if it is any worse than the kick of a half tamed automobile, I want none in mine, for when the dust of battle had cleared away I found that the large bone in my right arm was broken at the wrist, and three ribs on my left side were “busted,” seemingly more or less beyond repair, but they have now worked out in pretty good shape,, and my arm is getting along nicely. I am not able to use it as well as I would like to, but consider myself very fortunate that I am able to use it at all, and the doctors in the hospital assure me that I will have no bad after effects.

There is nothing unusual doing in the Mexican situation along the border. Yesterday morning, at su arise, th ey took the postmaster of Agua Prieta, which is just across the line from Douglas, two hours ride below here, and put him up against an adobe wall and shot him, but outside of a few minor incidents of this kind we wouldn’t know a revolution was going on in our sister Republic. Of course, the papers are filled every day with the great things that are being done along the border of Mexico, but I am sure that I could take the Indiana National Guard and run the entire soldiery of Mexico into the gulf, and they would be glad of the opportunity of getting there. War with them seems to be getting behind an adobe wall, poking a hole through, and shooting everybody in sight, including women, children and burros. They would not know what it was to get out In a real battle formation and fight. The famous battle of Naco, Sonora, which is directly across from Nhco, Arizona, (and only 25 miles from here) was fought, won and lost with a total loss of about forty, and appeared in the press all over the country as a wonderful battle. I talked to many people who witnessed this fighting, and they told me that at no time during said battle there was more than a dozen people in sight to shoot at. I did not come east this summer, as I have been nursing my numerous breaks all summer, but next summer Mrs. Walker and I intend coming east overland in our, ear, and will be glad to give you a story when we get there, providing we ever do. With best personal regards to yourselves and to all the bunch in Rensselaer, I. pm, ..Very truly yours, JOHN W. WALKER.

Box Elder Bugs Numerous But Virtually Harmless.

Timothy Comer called the attention of the writer to a vast quantity of bugs that were on the sunny side of a box elder tree near the jail and investigation disclosed that the bugs are “box elder” bugs and are quite invariably found on the trunk of box elder trees. They are reported in several parts of town* and are practically harmless, as they do not attack the leaves of the tree nor even the small limbs but for the most part have the trunk of the tree as their habitat. They exist in large quantities, multiply rapidly and can be seen the tree to which our attention was called in sizes varying from a pin. head to the matured winged bug, almost a half inch long. The mature bug is red with black stripes on the wings, and closely resembles the squash bug. Prof. Coe, the biologist of the high school faculty, states that the bugs are difficult to exterminate, as sprays do not do the work and if a torch is applied the matured bugs fly away and establish new homes on other trees. Prof. Coe has suggested writing to the state entomologist to ascertain more about the bugs and their destructive possibilities. A family residing near the attacked tree mentioned has met with considerable annoyance on account of the bugs. When clean clothes are hung on the line the bugs alight on them and soil them with their dirty feet.

During the time he was here the reunion of bis old regiment was in progress at Logansport, but he did not know it, as he has evidently been lost from the roster of the secretary of the regimental organization.
