BASEBALL STARTED; BY LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS

Meeting Wednesday Evening Set Ball Bolling—Association is in Good Condition Financially.

Rensselaer is to play baseball again this year. The announcement comes a little late but the. delay was occasioned by the uncertainty about a pitcher. The return of Clark put the fans on edge and a meeting called for Wednesday evening was quite largely attended and all were in favor of getting busy. (Last year’s manager, H. W. Kiplinger, was instructed to interview the owners of the grounds about their lease for the season. This has been done sinee the meeting and the Athletics will be able to again play at Riverside Athletic Park. Another meeting is to be held soon, at which time a manager, secretary and treasurer will be chosen for the association and a captain of the ball team.

It was reported that there was about $l6O on hand, carried over from last year, also that the suits and equipment are all in good shape. Herman Tuteur, last year’s secretary, was instructed to write to several near-by towns and try to arrange a schedule of games. The following players will be seen in the game: Elmer Wilcox, Howard and Harold Clark, Harry Swartzell, Lloyd Parks, Jimmie Eldridge, Floyd Elder, Virgil Denniston, Clyde Bristow and probably Morgan. It was proposed that 50 cents be paid for each practice and action on this will be taken up at the next meeting. Manager Kiplinger hopes to arrange for two Sunday games with the college, one to be played at the college and one at Riverside park. If there are any newcomers here who can play ball Captain Wilcox or Manager Kiplinger wants to have them report. It is hoped to strengthen the team this year with some new players., Especially is a third baseman needed, while the outfield positions are to be held by those who show the best batting ability. iGoodland frowned on Rensselaer’s ball team last year, but it is hoped to produce an aggregation that will be able to compete on equal terms with Goodland, Delphi, Frankfort and other teams of that rank. The fans are anxious for the season to open and will give the team the same loyal support it was accorded last year.

No Band Concert Tonight; You Can Blame the Weatherman.

Prof. Braun’s band boys are enthusiastic and just as anxious to start the concert season as the peoI#e are to have them, but they are not willing to perform in Overcoats, earmuffs and gloves, consequently the concert which was to have taken place tonight has -been canceled and the first evening concert will take place a week from tonight, providing the weatherman treats us a little more respectably.

OLIVER P. ROBINSON DIED AT SOLDIERS’ HOME

Well Known Veteran, Long Time a Constable and Court Bailiff Victim of Paralysis.

Oliver Pulaski Robinson died at the National soldiers’ home at Marion Wednesday morning. The particulars concerning his death were not received by relatives here, but the message which came stated that his funeral would be held at the home at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon and that his would be the first burial in the new cemetery established for the soldiers’ home. Mrs. Jennie M. Thompson, sister of the deceased, and Mrs. Fred Phillips, his niece, accompanied by Welcome DeWitt Robinson, also a brother of Oliver and Mrs. 8. F. Hayden, a niece, of Lowell, went to Marion today to attend the funeraL Oliver P. Robinson was born in Ohio, Dec. 7, 1845, and at the time of his death was 68 years, 4 months arid 22 days of age. He came to Jasper county in 1864 and after his arrival here enlisted in the union army and served during the last year of the civil war. He was never married, but lived for many years at private boarding houses and at the Makeever hotel. Something over four years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke, which chiefly affected one side of his face and one eye. He suffered two later slight strokes, each time becoming a greater charge and finally on Feb. 22nd of this year he was taken to the national soldiers’ home, where he entered the hospital and had remained an invalid ever since, although able to write occasionally to his sister, Mrs. Thompson. For many years Mr. Robinson served as a deputy sheriff, a constable and a court bailiff and his many friends who knew him during the period when he was enjoying good health will regret exceedingly to learn of his death. He was a brother of George M. Robinson, who was a county official and later postmaster of this city.

The Delphi Evening Herald has been sold by John H. Stephens to F. E. Heiland, who for many years has been a printer in the office of the Citizen-Times of that city and who is an all-around qualified printer and newspaper man. ,Mr. Stephens, had greatly improved the paper during his short ownership, but it still lacked the home-folk® touch so necessary in the publication of a small daily. Mr. Heiland’s acquaintance and his thorough trustworthiness should supply everything that the paper has lacked in the past and we expect to see The Herald fill the daily newspaper field at Delphi in a most acceptable manner. v

Lady Directed Shrubbery Planting at the Depot.

The fenced in plat of ground just east of the depot has been ’andseaped and set out with a large quantity and great variety of hardy shrubs and the arrangement is very artistic and should ad 1 greatly to the appearance of the depot sursoundings. The work was planned and executed under the direction of Mrs. A. E. McCrea, who came here three or four weeks ago to plan the work under the direction of President Delano, of the Monon. Mrs. McCrea is a landscape gardner of great ability and has the landscape work for a number of railroads. f Mrs. McCrea is to return here Saturday and has very kindly offered to deliver a free lecture that evening, using for her subject the beautification of cities and towns. She informed Agent Beam that-she will be greatly pleased to do this, making no charge whatever, and Agent Beam has proposed that the Ladies Literary Society take the matter up and this will probably be done. It is very timely and a large audience should hear Mrs. McCrea if the arrangements are completed.

Last Day of D. A. Kloethe And His Great Fire Sale.

This is the last day of D. A. Kloethe and his great fire sale, and there is no doubt that no sale anywhere near approaching the success of his was ever held in Jasper county. He entered upon the task with great vigor and his ardor never Waned, but almost every day brought out some new feature to greatly add to the interest the pub* lie took in the sale and to cause them to come in large numbers and from long distances to get in on the bargains offered. Mr. Kloethe is a remarkable man and his methods of business have attracted a great deal of attention. He has been ably assisted by Miss Mabel Erffmeyer, J. Ross Moore and John Feek, who came here with him and for some time by a number of the former Rowles & Parker clerks and also a number of extra clerks. Tonight’s auction is expected to be a pyrotechnic finish of the great sale and many will doubtless be out to attend it. Mr. Kloethe and his assistants will go from here to Piper City, where his own store suffered fire damage and where L. E. Barber is conducting a fire sale. After that stock is cleared up he will remodel his store there and again engage in business but will continue buying up fire damaged and bankrupt stocks and selling them out.

The sewer on the south side of Washington street has caused trouble for a long time and yesterday Marshal Shesler had it dug into at several places and found that it was lower by some four inches at Cullen street than it was in front of W. J. Wright’s store. Naturally it would clog up. Dirt from the garage had contributed to the trouble. It is a pity that an adequate sewer ean not be laid before Washington street is bricked. Something will have to be done and it would be economy to put down an 18 inch or 2 foot sewer before the new street Is constructed.

There will be real southern beauties riding blue ribboned Kentucky bred horses; the southern colonels will be in evidence, with wide brimmed white hats, together with the “yes sab” that has made the g southerner famous. Mr. Haag also claims to have the •finest sixteen 'head of Kentuek mules, which are world wide renouned, and will be of great interest to horsemen of this section.
