FACT. Local Evidence. Evidence that can be verified. Facts is what we want. Opinion is not enough. Opinions differ. Here’s a Rensselaer fact. You 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. I 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 them 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. Since then whai I have heard anyone complain of Kidney trouble or 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 gi-eatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers.

Mr. Thomas has been an efficient party worker, of clean, record, w r ho not only has .a strong following in White county but all over the district, and these friends urge that he is a logical candidate in that he has never been mixed up with any of the factional disturbances of the party.

Cattle on Track Delayed “Hoosier Limited” Monday.

Montlcello Journal. The Hoosier Limited, going south Monday afternoon, was delayed this side of Rensselaer by a drove of cattle that had broken into the right-of-way and persisted in keeping on the track in front of the train for more than a mile. Trainmen tried to drive them off but to no avail. Another cause of delay was the extra large amount of mail received at Hammond by transfer from other roads that consumed fifteen minutes in loading. President Delana’s private car was a part of the train as far. south as Monon. He was-on his way to Lafayette to address Purdue students and to attend a dinner party <ln his honor at the Lahr bousa given fry Samuel Murdock, a director of the Monon. Mr. Delano used the delays to his train to point a moral and make an illustration in his address. *

HIGH SCHOOL FIVE PUT SOLDIERS TO ROUTE

Absence of Morgan and Pntts Made Work of Students Easy—Score Was 31 to 17. In the first of the city series of basketball games to be played between the high school and the militia, the school lads copped after a hard and rough fight The superior condition of the school team, the absence of some of the soldiers and better teamwork of the school quintette were the prime factors in the defeat of the boys in blue. The game was fast and rough from the start, the students leading in both of these, having a great many fouls called on them. Eigelsbach was the stellar performer for the school lads and Healey aided him considerably. The first half ended with the Northenders leading 13 to 8. The second half started with a rush and the militiamen almost evened up the score but their condition soon told on them and they were soon again trailing. When the gong rang ending the game the khaki five were on the short end of the 31 to 17 score. The absence of Putts and Morgan wrought great havoc with the chances of the militiamen and with these two hack in the game the soldiers should give the high school gang a drubbing at the armory next week. On next Friday night Montieello high school comes to meet the school five. Summary—Field goals, Healey 3, Eigelsbach 4, Groom 1, Hanley 2, Duvall 1, Kirk 3, Clark 1.

Story of the Miracle.

Here is the story of The Miracle, as taken from one of the “Legends of Long - Ago,” written by Gottlieb Keller, called the Shakespeare of short stories. In the peaceful shade of an ancient cloister there lives a pure and beautiful girl, Beatrice : n the old church there stands a miraculous statue of the Madonna, clothed in rich, and precious robes, and Is the object uof pilgrimages from all parts of the world. Now, one day there appeared a handsome, well-dressed knight, who forthwith becomes entranced with Beatrice, but dares not speak to her. A few days later, however, while enjoying the hospitality of ier companions, he contrives to tell Beatrice of the gay and lively world without and invites her to come and drink of the cup of pleasure. At first he is met with resist ence; but finally, upon enticing her outside the sheltering doors, he seizes her and carries her to his castle. Having left the protection of her friends and church, she gradually weakens and falls before the tempter. Meanwhile, the Miraculous Statue, unwilling that disgrace should, fall upon her friends, has descended from the pedestal and assumed the appearance of the faithless Beatrice. The fame of the Statue has suffered no harm, as the pilgrims fall to miss It. Now we jhust return to Beatrice, who has plunged into the mad whirlpool of worldly pleasure. She had loved the young knight, but alas, she finds that men betray! As a last resort to retrieve his heavy losses at the gaming table, he gambles with a baron gpest for the possession of the girl and loses. She is forcibly carried away to a castle, where she meets with many thrilling adventures. After trying to kill the man who won her at dice, she has a thrilling escape, aided by the old gate warden, only to fall into the hands of a band of robbers. The leader is entranced by her sweetness and beauty and offers to shield her.. She pleads for the liberation of the gate warden, who was also captured. The captain of the outlaws releases him and also offers her freedom if she does not wish to stay. Touched by his manly words, Beatrice decides to remain. The old warden returns to the knight and implores him to rescue Beatrice. Now ensues a long and fierce battle between the knights land outlaws, in which both leaders are slain. With a heavy heart the repentant girl is led back to her peaceful cloisters, the Statue is again enthroned, and quiet, peace and happiness one® more reign supreme.

Flowers Important Factor In Beautification of City.

The effort inspired last year to make Rensselaer more healthful and more beautiful than it had ever been before resulted in the greatest improvement that this city has ever made along those lines and doubtless resulted in greater enjoyment of the homes as well as benefit in the way of compliments from visitors to our city. The work of beautifying Rensselaer, however, has scarcely begun. Last year' flower growing was experimental with many who will this year have the benefit of their experience and enter into the spirit of landscaping with renewed vigor: Already many are discussing ~ the plans for the earning year and it affords a pleasant pasttime for the evening. The homes with flowers were distinctly the beautiful homes of Rensselaer last year. Flowers .that make lawns attractive are so numerous that the home maker has a great diversity for his selection and the winter evenings afford an opportunity for doing this. It takes time to develop large rose bushes and large clusters of peonies, but there are many annual flowers that can be employed while perennials are getting their growth. Beds of geraniums, pansies, salvia and many other blooming and foliage plants can be produced in a short time without great effort, while porch, boxes of plants and vines can be employed with attractive results. It is probable that money will be again raised for prizes and that tenants will he given special cash prizes as well as property owners. Now is a good time of the year to begin the plans for the home beautifying and every person should resolve to make their particular part of Rensselaer more atfiactive than it ever was before. The Republican has been wondering if some flower beds In the court house lawn would not prove of great attraction and along this line we would be pleased to get expressions from others.

The sale was made by E. J. Duvall, of Rensselaer. It is the intention of the purchasers to materially improve the farm by the erection qf a silo and other building improvements.
