Washington, Not. Another week of bad weather is ahead fpr the eastern part of tlty.country, according to the weather bureaiu, ' ‘The eastward movement of a disturbance now over the lower Arkansas Valley,” the weekly bulletin says, ‘hvill result in a continuajiee of the unsettled, rainy weather (luring the early days of the week over the eastern half of the country, with possibly some snow over the northern districts. Generally fair weatfier will follow for a day or so after, but the eastward movement of another marked disturbance now over Arizona will probably be attended by rains over the southern, and rains and snow over the northern districts from the Rocky mountains eastward, beginning about Monday morning along the eastern slope of the mountains, -reaching through the plains states„into the central valleys and the upper lake region about the middle of the week, and the lower lake region and the east about Thursday or Friday. ‘This distrubance will be followed by fair and colder weather that will reach the central valleys after the middle of the week and the eastern states by the end ofrthe week. However, temperatures will not be un : usually low. ‘-‘West of the Rocky mountains and in the northwest the weather will-be generally fair.”

Alva Havriman, the contractor, and Jacob May, the superintendent“oDa~TTewrtFrnile stone road running west of Sec. 10, Carpenter township, were here today to attend commissioners’ court. C. F. Mansfield, Jr.,-went to Monticello today for a visit of a few days. He has been staying at his father’s large farm for some time and expects to be there for the next year ortmore.

Mr. Bicknell had been running it for some time during oJe’s absence and found the business very good and bought Joe out. Joe is still traveling on the road and makes his headquarters in Chicago. Mrs. E. W. Kanne attended an “at home” given last Friday by Miss Mable Young, of Monon. Mr. Kanne joined her there Saturday morning and they returned home that afternoon. Miss Young is teaching at Monon this year, and last year taught the Wood school in this county.

George Washington’s surveying, done in 1751, when, as a lad of 19, he ran lines with chain and compass through the wilderness of the Virginia hills for Lord Fairfax, has been checked up by government surveyors, who have just made their reports, and who found the work of the immortal patriot perfect. Mrs. Chas. G. Hammond, who had been here since last Wednesday, returned to her home at Big Rapids, Mich., her daughter,„ Miss Ruth, who had been here for several weeks, returning with her. Mrs. Hammond reports that they have deferred the erection of their new house uqtil spring. Fen tori O. Churchill returned here last week from Three Forks, Mont., w'here he had been with Judson and Walter Maines during the season. He reports that they had a very good crop year, raising wheat, barley, flax, oats and alfalfa. Of the latter they had about 400 or 500 tons. The price there was sl2 per ton, but a higher price was expected a little,.later. Glenn N. Sayler, formerly a school teacher in this county and for some time a resident of Great Bend, Kans., near which I ,place he runs a farm, .came to Rensselaer Saturday with the remains of his aunt, Miss Eva M.

Thieves Operating in West Part of Newton Township.

Henry L. Wortley was L. The Republican office to pay ms subscription today and stated that some thief has been rather active in that neighborhood recently and paid «is place a visit Friday night. He heard some commotion and the dog barking and opened the door to the house and -tills evidently frightened the would-be thief. In the morning he found the gate leading to the turkey coops open and the wire with which it had been fastened had been taken off the post and thrown away. No poultry was missing and evidently the thief or thieves had not returned after being frightened. Benton Kelly, a near neighbor, recently had some some chickens stolen and Henry Doan had 4 or 5 bushels of rent com stolen one night. Apparently there is a petty thief in the neighborhood and he should be discovered and let know that he is flirting with the penitentiary. The sentence recently given Clifford Archer shows conclusively the determination of Jasper county juried to put chicken thieves where they won’t cause any trouble. A chicken thief is about the most contemptible thief there is. People prize their poultry often beyond its commercial value. They raise it for the purpose of eggs and for the convenience of having chickens when wanted as well as for the market value. The thief who steals chickens would enter your house and vsteal anything lie could find or would hold you up and rob you if he had the nerve. A thief is a thief and we are in favor of positive methods of eradication.

“The Only Son” at Ellis Theatre Tuesday Evening.

Manager Ellis lias hooked on short notice a Cohen & Harris production that has the appearance of a first-class production. It ran for a long time in the Olympic Theatre, Chicago, and the press notices extremely favorable. Richard Kent is the star of the oast. The play will’ he at the theatre Tuesday evening of this week, Deo. 2nd.

Norman Borchardt returned this morning to his home at Lockport, 111., where lie maintains his studio. He is making a splendid success of his illustrating work and his work is used extensively in The Red Book. He had witli him a niimber of sketches which were displayed for some days in the window of B. F. Fen dig’s drugstore.

Rensselaer Used 720,000 Gallons of Water Per Day.

During the hot weather of the summej: tiie pumps at The —city water and light plant were kept running full tilt to supply the needs of the city. This means that 500 gallons of water a minute were used. This makes 30,000 gallons of water an hour or 720,000 gallons- in a day. During the year when water is not used so extensively for street sprinkling and lawn use and when hydrants are not left running in order to keep the water cool, not nearly so much is used. Just how much, Superintendent Chamberlin is unable to say, hut probably at least 300,000 gallons per day. With the use of meters this would probably be cut down to almost half, as there is a frightful waste of water under the present ' system. The attention of the writer was brought to this question recently when a friend living at Slater, Mo., asked the question as to the amount of water used daily. His question was prompted by the fact that a proposition is being considered at Slater of putting in a new water plantf* The company making the proposition asks a guarantee of 100,000 gallons per day. The water is to he piped from the Missouri river 12 miles away, to be filtered and to sell for 25 cents per 1,000 gallons. Slater has 1,000 more people than this city and it would seem that 100,000 gallons per day would not nearly supply the needs. It is not improbable that Rensselaer will some time decide to put in water ureters.. The rate here could be materially less than 25 cents per 1,000 gallons, which seems a very reasonable price, but the present proposition of a flat rate is not fair from many standpoints. Those who use it moderately pay too much, while those who use it extensively and those who abuse it should pay for the use 6 ’ and the abuse. The saving in this way would probably result in'a reduction of coal bills. Tiie meter system of lights which some so much opposed has proven a good thing and there is now a probability that a reduction of the present rate will ensue before a great while. The meter plan for water should he considered by tiie new council when it is seated and its adoption will, we believe, prove satisfactory ultimately, if not fioin the outset. \ ' O ■.— ■ i # In spite of all the great reforms instituted in this country, I notice that the devel never gets a vacation.

—Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Thornton-re—-tamed last week from & visit in the west. They went first to Vinton,, lowa, to visit their son, Earl and wile, and from there to Greensburg, Ivans., where they lived for some years quite a while ago and where they have relatives and many friends. They were at that place when Frances Sparling, formerly of this county, died. Prom there they came to St. Louis, Mo., where Mr. Thornton’s sister, Mrs. Mercy Baker, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred Halley, after an illness of some time of blights disease. She was 71 years of age and the widow of Ira J. Baker. Mr. Thornton says that he never say Kansas look so good as it does this .Call. The wheat is of luxuriant growth and ' is being pastured. Stock can be kept on it all through the winter, the food thus procured being quite adequate except in cases of snow. In the spring the wheat come right up as soon as the stock is taken off and the crop is even enhanced by reason of the fact that it was pastured. Secretary Bryan told government printing office employes at their Thanksgiving services that the thanks of the nation at this season should be not only to God but to those whose labors in the past enable Americans to enjoy their political privileges and their religious ideals.
