CHICKEN PURLOINER ESCAPES PUNISHMENT

Deputy Ross Tailed to Prove Venue •and Court Gave Instructions In Archer’s Favor.

Attorney Ross, of Kentland, acting as deputy prosecutor case of the state against John Archer, charged with stealing chickens, failed to prove venue in the case and after the state’s evidence was all in, Attorney Halleck, for the defense, pointed out the fact that it had not been proven that the alleged act of chicken stealing had 'been committed in Jasper county and asked for a preemptory instruction to the jury to bring in a verdict for acquittal- This was done. There was talk of .filing another affidavit against Archer, charging him with forgery, based upon the allegation that the check he received when the chickens were sold was drawn in a fictitious name and endorsed by him in that name. Archer had already served 4 months in jail and this was probably sufficient punishment for the crime. His brother, Clifford, was sent to the state reformatory for one to seven years. •Mr. and Mrs. F. X. Busha, who have been in the west for several months, arrived here Saturday to visit her parents, Mr and Mrs. W. H. Beam, and are now visiting his relatives in Lafayette. The Round Table Club and a few guests were entertained in a very delightful manner last evening at the home of Mayor and Mrs. Charles G. Spitler7 T Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Hardman and Mr. and Mrs. B. Forsythe were joint entertainers. _ Mrs. Felix Erwin, of Fair Oaks, is attending the Rebekah convention and visiting the family of N. Little field. She reports that the scarlet fever patients at Fair Oaks are re covering and there seems no prospect of a spread of the disease. Mrs. Stella Ketchum left yesterday for Indianapolis, where she will join a large party of Daughters of the American Revolution and start on a tour of Egypt and the Holy Land. She will also visit Italy and France and be absent for about three months. H. C. Montay, of Newland, returned yesterday from a business trip to Madison, Ohio. He will engage in the implement business at Newland, handling onion drills and He says that farmers in ihe southeastern part OTihSiana and in Ohio were plowing. The Delphi Daily Herald under its new management is showing some signs of improvement and this will doubtless be more marked % when the mechanical equipment of the paper is improved, which is to be done at once. A new linotype is to be installed by Feb. 25th. Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, former teacher in the Rensselaer schools, now a writer of ability, will address the members of the ladies’ literary society and their husbands and a number of guests, including former pupils of Mrs. McCarter in this city, and the school teachers, this Evening at the home of Mrs. Mary E. Thompson. It is probable than one hundred and fifty will be present to hear Mrs. McCarter’s lecture on ‘The Heart of a Child.”

NOT ALL. We do not ask for all the eggs and poultry in the country, and then back down when some one brings 5 or 6 cases of eggs, because we have all we can use. All we ask is our share of the produce and we will be satisfied. When any one states they will pay the top price for produce that means the price that the Fancy Produce Market pays, because they are recognized as price makers in this community. So why not take your produce to them when the top prices are made. We will pay you the best price our market will afford at all times for all produce. Call us up when you have anything to offer.

SUBSIDY ELECTION IS NEAR AT HAND

Voters in Marion and Carpenter Townships to Express Themselves on Subsidy Feb. 10.

The citizens of Rensselaer and Marion township and Remington and Carpenter township will vote on the proposition of voting a 2 per cent subsidy for the Northwestern Indiana Traction Go. on Tuesday, Feb. 10th. This is a matter that should receive the fair and thorough consideration of all the people who have the right to vote. The Republican, as it has during various times for the past ten years, favors the proposifton for what the construction of the road means to Rensselaer, Remington and Jasper county. The construction of this road, we are told, depends upon the carrying of these elections. The capital that is behind the plans of construction will undertake the building only provided the people along the route express themselves in favor of the road. The construction of this road is of such unlimited importance to the future growth and development of the county that selfish reasons should not blind us from supporting it. —- Subsidies have been voted several times for various sorts of adventurers and always carried by large majorities, but the tax was never placed upon the duplicate and never a cent collected. The only expense that Jasper county or Marion township has been to was that of holding the election, a few dollaws in the aggregate. As stated above, the subsidies have heretofore been asked by adventurers and they have been given the encouragement of a large affirmative vote, but this is the first request that has been made by men of apparently sound backing, men who have paid as they went and have shown ability and candor in every transaction. It is the first crowd of promoters who have put up the cash in trust to pay for the cost of holding the elections and there is greater reason now that ever before for voting for this railroad subsidy. President T. S. Roberts and his associates have not blustered about their work. They have not talked of power houses and permanent offices and such things. They have not bluffed at securing a down town location for the interurban station. Many Rensselaer people have never seen them, beeause they have been quietly at work and have spent their time in substantial plan making and not in talking about things that were of the air castle variety. This gives substantially to the proposition and The Republican expects, sincerely expects, that there will be an electric railroad built through Jasper county if these subsidies are voted. It expects that failure to vote the subsidies will result in the company withdrawing from this territory and thus setting this city and Remington and the country through which the railroad is surveyed to traverse back a number of years.

We, need the railroad. There is not a man, woman or child in the county that does not know that we need a railroad and need it very badly. It will help the towns and help the country and be an argument in favor of better land values and better marketing opportunities. It will be a freight as well as a passenger road and there will be established elevators along the route that .will save miles and miles of hauling the products of the farm.

Rensseaer right now is struggling to grow. Opportunity never rapped so persistently at the door of a small city as it is today rapping on our door. Good people are wanting to come here to live and need houses and many of them. There never was before this very time talk of more residence building and the consequent need of more carpenters and mechanics and laborers. The trend to the northwest that a few years ago took many of our people away has ceased and all of Jasper county is going to develop. The building of an interurban railroad will increase the local prosperity and give it stability and permanency.

The Republcan appreciates full well that individuals feel the effect of the incerase in taxation. It is right that' each should consider this point, but those who pay only a small amount will not have much of the subsidy tax to pay, while those who pay large amounts can afford to do so because of the benefit it will be to their interests. If they have land it will increase the value and the marketing possibilities. If they have city property it will increase rents, if they have money it will make profitable investments more plentiful. Merchants will enjoy an increase in trade, mechanics and laborers regular employment and better wages and all together will share the benefit of the building activities. It is seldom that you have an opportunity to vote on a proposition that has so many things of personal advantage. The ta* is in the long run only a loan, as it will not be very long until the railroad will have paid back into the treasury more money than the sttbefdy voted to

INSTRUMENTS OF INSECTS.

Musicians Perform With Their Wlnge, Only Birds Use the Threat. Songs of birds and the trills eg the toad, and tree-frog fraternity are about the only musical sounds in nature that are throat utterances or true songs. The great host of insect musicians are performers upon instruments. Though they play upon fiddles end castanets that are a part of themselves, the sounds they produce are truly instrumental. The winged musicans are commonly of two kinds —those that use their wings as instruments and those that do not. Of the. latter are the cicadas or harvest flies, incorrectly called locusts. These perform upon, abdominal plates like castanets. < The true wing performers are the crickets and long-horned grasshoppers or true locusts, of which the katydid la a characteristic , representative. These fellows —for’ it'is always the males, the sports and lovers of the insect world—perform serenades by the hour on what" might be called living fiddles. Most Insects are devoid of hearing. The locusts and crickets possess acute bearing. Their courtship is carried on entirely through the medium of their serenades. The . males remain in one* spot iplaylng upon their instruments. The females, undoubtedly attracted 3 by these songs, seek the players with untiring energy. Most remarkable' le < the character of the sounds produced! in relation to the instruments played upon. These instruments seem much too flimsy to produce metallic and far-reaching sounds. The Bound-producing portion of the wings is unlike the musical instruments of man. Blit the* lightened, parchment-like sounding board and the manner in wh/ich the wings are scraped together coirespond somewhat to. a stringed instrument With the oriekets proper the wings are raised almost or quite vertically while strldulatlng. With the loeusts the sound-producing ~oigaikß low titrated, so as to perantt a scraping motion.

Always the musical *organs • are > attached to the fore wings. They .hind wings are used only for flying. .The fore wings of the cricket; are tor the most part taken up by tine sound-pro-ducing, tightly-stretched portion. .This part is strongly but openly veined! vand the toothed vein or bow extends entirely across this horizontal portion near its base. The roughened edge, where the toothed bow scrape®, is upon the inner margin. The right and left fore wings are preciselyallke, so that either may be used for the bow or the fiddle.—Chicago Ne*ra.\

Pressing Trousers While Your Walt.

“Trousers pressed while you wait" is a sign which no longer appeals. It went into the discard with the old year. The new thing is the* electrle trousers creaser, fwhlch not only creases trousers while you twait,, but while they are on. The new invention has a gtlrrup into which the toe is inserted, ( and a

handle by which the creaser is held', steady. Between the two there Is a yertical guide rod upon which the electrical pressing iron slides. The iron Itself consists of two spring-pressed electrically heated plates, which are clamped to the trousers at the bottom and Ironed up and down. The current for heating the iron is transmitted through a wire from a lamp socket It is intended that the trousers, creaser shall be part of’the equipment j of the modern barber shop.—New!

Why Leaves Change Color.

Despite the commonness of autumn»' coloring, we do not yet know the fufit meaning of autumn colors of leaves. We do know that late in the summer? the tree is preparing for the loaf fall! by drawing the valuable substances * of the leaf which aids in the making! of the plant’s food, and this gradu-> ally fades away in the bright light By fading, it exposes to view any other colors in the leaf; and all leaves contain yellow coloring matters called xauthophyl (whose function Is not known), and it is these which give j thsyeUow color to - autumn leaves. The red Is formed differently: In bright.light and cool temperature a new substance, called erythrophyl, Is made from sugar and tannin in the leaf cells, and that bss a red color. ▲ brown substance Is also sometimes formed, and, besides, the skeleton at the leaf dies. It Is the various combinations of these substances that give the many shades of autumn colors. Some students think these colors are a useful protection to the living protoplasm (life material) of the leaf after the green disappears, pro- ' tecting it against the full blase of tight, which Is injurious; but others think the colors have no use at all but are simply the incidental ehemleal result of the processes In the ripening and dying leaf.—Bt Nicholas. , Th# average age at which women ]

POCKET WATER - HEATER.

Harnessed to Electrle Fixture, It Quickly Does the Work. Heretofore it has always been supposed that some kind of a stove was required to heat water, even if only • stove the size of your hand. Aa

Does Not Change the Water. "Ohio genius, however, has demon* strated that this is not so by devising an electric water beater that can be carried in the pocket. ▲ little metal cylinder has a cord attached which can be fastened to an ordinary electric light socket The current is then turned on and the cylinder is placed in the water. The receptacle containing the liquid must be brought to the heater, as the latter cannot be moved further than the length of the cord. The heater will produce hot water in four minutes. It is useful to heat water for shaving and as a sterilizer Is Just what ii required. At the same time it does not charge the water and may be handled without fear of contact with the current.

New Way to Buy Coal.

The United States Government Is making preparations for the extension of the new manner of purchasing coal which, was put Into partial operation a short time ago with great success to all the parties concerned. This Is the payment of the coal bill upon the basis of the actual heating value of the coal as determined by tests of samples made by the Geological Survey. This Government spends about seven million dollars annually for Coal supplies for its vessels, public works, bullding3 and works. At the present time about one-third of It is bought on the new baSfc, which seems to be as acceptable to the merchants supplying the coal as to the Government officials. These analyses and tests show the quality of the coal in terms of fixed carbon, volatile matter, sulphur, ash, and moisture, and especially its heating value In British thermal units, as determined by calorimetric tests. Until a few years ago it was the geaeral custom to buy coal solely*upon the reputation of the dealers and the district from which the fuel was secured. The new plan has not yet been applied to fuel purchased for the vessels of the United States nsvy, but does cover about 400,000 tons of coal bought for use on the Isthmus of Panama and about 140,000 tons used on steamers plying from New York to Colon.

NEW POSTING BOX.

Msy Be Opened Wide to Facilitate -the Posting Operation. An lmprovemnt on the old-style posting box has been patented by a Pennsylvania man. Its chief advantage i& said to be that It is made In two sections, which ean be swung fir apart when the posting operating Is going on and thus facilitates the work by giving plenty of space. The box is made of two similar sections, which have a hinged connection, or rather two hinged connections at the sl(jles.

Hinge Holds Them Firm.

This hinge has a hook which looks the box la Its closed position, but when the receptacle la to be held open the hinge Is extended to Its fullest length and turn In the slot engages the button at that end. This Inclines the bottom walls of the box In opposite directions so that cards rest against either one without falling forward. ,

Bran In Bread.

An English commission has boas looking into the snbjeot of broad and In reference to the use of whole wheat ' It finds that the presence of the bran, • which is the outer covering of the -wheat grain, may be advantageous'in special cases, but in general It Is an undesirable element In bread. The bran Is Indigestible of Itself, and It Interferes with the digestion off ether nutritious factors in food. IB the case of milk, for Instance, 3 per oent. lees was found to be digested when It wae taken with whole wheal bread than when taken alone or with White
