Remembers Some Ground Hog Days of the Long, Long Ago.

John O’Connor was reminiscently inclined today and recalled the ground hog day of 81 years ago, which, he,states, was as bright and warmer than today, with no snow and not a bit of ice on the river nor on Cedar Lake. That evening it began to snow and this turned to rain and then to sleet and the disastrous sleet of 1883 resulted. He went back eight years further and recalled that it was 39 years ago today that the thermometer registered 33 degrees below zero. Mr. O'Connor does not keep a, dairy, but has a vivid recollection of things that happened in the long ago and recalls the dates with exactness.

Mrs. 8., T. Clark and daughter, Mary, of Pueblo, Colo, who have been spending the winter with relatives at Monon, in hope .that it Would prove beneficial to Mary’s health, spent Saturday and Sunday visiting Mrs. E. L. Clark and other Rengselaer relatives.

GO-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY WAS/GREAT SUCCESS

All Churches Well Tilled and Mass Meeting brought Out Very Large Congregation

The Go-to-Church Sunday was a great success and Rensselaer can feel proud of the record made. In conjunction with hundreds of other cities all over the country the ministers and churches of Rensselaer united their efforts and forces to get the people of the city to attend church yesterday. The weather was ideal after the storm of Saturday. The sun shown through a cloudless sky The snow was crisp and the sidewalks Were in good condition. Prom 9 a. m., when the children began crowding to Sunday Schools, until the hour of the night services, the streets were filled with people going to chucrh. The morning and evening services at all the churches filled the church buildings with great and attentive congregations. The one feature of the go to church Sunday in Rensselaer was the great union mass meeting at the Methodist church at 2:30. The people began coming before two o’clock and when Dr. Curnick announced the first hymn the church and Sunday School room were crowded with as fine and representative crowd of Rensselaer people as could be gathered together. This union service was of great interest. The four ministers of the city, Revs. Curnick, Parrett, Wright and Winn., representing the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Christian churches, spoke on appropriate subjects. Special music was rendered by the choir of the Methodist church. A male quartette was sung by J. D. Allman, Harry Jacobs, Dr. H. L. Brown and J. P. Hammond. Mrs. Vfrindfi Rainier Barnes sung a most beautiful solo, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. M. D. Gwin. Miss Georgia Harris was pianist. The collection taken up amounted to $lO.Bl, which will about pay the expense canvass, including the printing. At the dose of the service the great congregation sung “Blest Be the Tie That Binds," and it was a grand sight to see hundreds of church members, representing all the churches, and scores of nonchurch people, all joining in singing this song of Christian unity and faith. The ministers of the city all feel elated over the success of the go to church movement and all expressed the hope that it may become an annual event. * Now that Rensselaer has had its great church going day, it as hoped that many v of our good citizens who *do not belong to our church, will join some church and help the Christian people to work for the moral and religious welfare of our beautiful community. .

Here’s a case: William Clift, 528 College St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had kidney and bladder trouble and my back ached severely. I did not sleep well and was annoyed by a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. ,T took doctors’ medicine and remedies of various kinds, bujatfound no relief until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills. Since then my back has not troubled me and I hav%felt better in every way. It gives me ?freat pleasure to endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Tommy O’Meara was compelled to resign the cotnract for carrying the mail from the depot to the postoffice, as he already had the job of carrying the mail between Rensselaer and Pleasant Grove and the department refused to accept his resignation from that job. Lawson Bruce has been carrying the mail for the past month and he is convinced that the job is worth at .least SI,OOO a year. As before stated trips arc made to all mall trains from 4:30 in the morning until 8 o’clock at night and the carrier is required to keep a horse. It is a more confining job than that of rural carrier and should pay as much or more. It is hoped that those whs make bids will ask living wages out of the job.
