ATHLETICS WON A REAL CLASSY GAME

Clark Defeated Shurte in a Pitchera* Battle—Score 4 to 2—An Expensive Error. Kip’s Athletics and Lowell engaged in the prettiest exhibition of the national pasttime of the season Sunday, the former winning by a 4 to 2 count. The game wa. battle of southpaws, Shurte and Clark. Shurte held the locals to six hits, two of which came in the eighth round and these coupled with Purdy’s muff of Dad’s lofty fly gave the locals a two run edge. The work or Morgan at short was a revelation to the fans. The stocky shortstop was all over the lot taking in pop flics, and his one 'handed stab of a low liner was the feature of the game. At the plate he laced out two singles and a sacrifice and scored the second run of the game. . The locals counted first in the second frame when Elder beat out an infield hit, advanced to second on Hess’s passed ball, stole third and came across the counting station when Hess heaved the ball into left field. Lowell came right back and evened up the count in their third, when Belshaw was safe on Eldridge’s error, Shurte following with a bunt which Jimmy threw wildly to third, putting Belshaw on third and Shurte on second. Things were looking bad for the locals when Alyea came to the platter, but he lifted a tall fly to Morgan for the first Petrie then flew to Parks in right and Belshaw came over the pan. Purdy walked but Loyd ended the session by skying into Wilcox’s big mitt Rensselaer went out in one- two- three order in their half and Lowell did likewise in their fourth. The locals then took the lead, never to be headed. Morgan singled, advanced to second on Shurte’e bum heave, trying to pick him off first *and came across on Dad’s Lingle to center. Wilcox Hied to Alyea, Hatton walked and was flagged stealing. Lowell went out in order in the sixth. Morgan and Dad hit safely but were left stranded on the paths when Beebe took Wilcox’s fly to deep left and Clark was out at first. Beebe opened the seventh for the visitors when he doubled to left for the first hit of the game off Clark. Brooks and Hess went the whiff route and Belshaw lifted one to Parks. The Athletics were easy In the seventh and Lowbll followed suit la their eighth. In the home Bth Clafk struck out, but Lefty followed with a safe blow to center. advanced on Jimmy’s swat to left arid both moved up on Morgan's out and raced across the pan when Purdy dropped Swartell’s fly. Wilcox went out Shurte to Belshaw. Lowell took their last .turn at bat, Purdy struck out. Hatton took Loyd’s roller and tossed to Dad. Beebe started a belated rally by tripling far over Park’s head, and scored on Brooks’ one base wallop to center. Hess ended the game by breezing. The receipts were $63.15. Lineup and summary: LOWELL.

TWO GAMES ON THE OTHER FELLOW’S LOT

Athetics to Play the Delphi Comers Next Sunday and at Goodland On the 28th.

The Athletics are to leave home the next two Sundays, playing next Sunday at Delphi and the following Sunday at Goodland. The team has played six home games, winning five and losing one They have made a total of 48 scores to 23 for their opponents. They are Showing more class in every contest and expect to give the Delphi Comers a real game next Sunday. Delphi has had a splendid ball team for two years and have won all of their games this year except one, Just as Rensselaer has done. They are especially elated at this time because they, defeated the Logansport Ottos Sunday. They have big crowds at Delphi and their reorganization two weeks ago, when Jack O’Connor’was made manager, has inspired greater attendance than they were having before Rensselaer will go there on the 11:20 train Sunday and will probably be followed by a large number of fans. The fact that the home team has played to paying crowds all year is vrey encouraging and the manner in which the team has developed has been pleasing to the supporters. On June 28th the team will go to Good land, to play the swift team of that place and it is expected ;hat iwe will give the Goodland earn one of the hardest rubs it has had this season. This will make two Sundays in succession away from home, and advantage will be taken of this absence to have the home diamond put into professional style. It will be filled up With clay and then rolled solid and smooth. The rough surface has been responsible for a number of errors in the past and now that the team is going good it is the plan to put the ground into the best possible condition. Goodland will be asked to play us a return game in July and the ground will be in prime condition when they come. Games beyond the. 28th have not >een scheduled, except that a return game is to be given the Lowell team on July 19th, and that the Chippewa Indians are to be played here on the 23rd of July if terms can be agreed upon. In the mean;ime it is expected to get the Moving Picture Operators team down from Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Brunsdon and Miss Bertha Brunsdon, of Hammond, came yesterday and he returned. in the evening. Mrs. and Miss Brunsdon are remaining for a longer visit with the former's father, Marshal W. R. Shesler. ■- ■■ -I - Mrs. George Conway returned to her home at Virginia, Minn., today, after a visit of three weeks with ler aged father, David Culp, and ler brothers, James and Will,/near Lee. She had expected to remain longer but a telegram apprised her of the serious condition of her daughter and she hastened home. Twenty-six carloads of ties and a lot of steel rails are to be shipped at once to the Gifford branch of ■ he Monon railroad and it is stated he work of improving the roadbed is to go forward without delay. The extension will be taken up, it is understood, after the present road has been put into good condition. L. A. Harmon went to Terre Haute today to begin work as a traveltag salesman for the Pilldbury flour company, taking territory which his brother, Charles, had before moving to Indianapolis. Lou will leave his family here, at least until he determines* whether he likes his new work well enough to follow it permanently.

Boy Pedals 24 Hours Under Hypnotie Speil

Gary, Ind., June 12.—Arthur Tracy, an 18-year-old youth, tonight had spent twenty-four hours flat on his back, his feet moving-in imitation of a bicycle’rider. The Woman’s Chib of Gary, the police and citizens tried to stop Tracy’s feet while W. B. Griffiths, an itinerant hypnotist, who is said to be responsible for Tracy’s condition, was in the county jail, refusing to undo his work. Griffiths was arrested on a charge of cruelty. Physicians attempted to awaken Tracy, but were powerless. The hypnotist refuses to awaken his victim until all charges against him have been withdrawn. The .women who caused the hypnotist’s arrest agreed not to prosecute him and the lad was taken to him at the jail He brought'hlm from under the influence of the spell and he at once quit pedaling.

Name of Herald Adopted For Leading Chicago Paper.

Since James Keeley purchased and took charge of the Chicago Record-Herald and the Chicago Inter Ocean a discussion in which subscribers took part has been conducted to determine the name the paper should adopt From the start the name Herald was favored by the greater number and that name has been finally adopted. The Sunday Herald was a great paper with departments that should satisfy every diversified demand. Patrons of the Inter-Ocean regret very much to see the paper pass from the field it so ably filled for so many years and republicans regret the fact that it leaves Chicago (without a republican paper, but suggestions to have the new Keeley publications appear under the name Inter-Ocean could not be heeded, lor the Inter-Ocean had better pass into history than to be conducted as a non-partisan"paper. The Inter-Ocean had financial troubles and this fact indicates that the strictly, party paper as applied to the great cities is to be a thing of the past. Chicago has fjx great newspapers today, The Tribune, The Herald, The News,' The American and Examiner, The Post and the Journal. None of them are bound by the ties of party. Indianapolis has The News, The Star and The Sun. They profess to be independent, although The Star in peanut politics style is supporting the progressive cause. The Ipdianapolls papers have, to all appearances, been on the market politically for many years. The great city papers are free lance, and seem in the main to be guided by convictions in moulding public opinion, although some show unmistakeable evidence of being controlled from the counting room. It is hoped and The Republican is convinced that Mr. Keeley will guide The Herald to the forefront of honest and responsible journalism, above party, above the counting room and as great as is the opportunity at this time in that greatest of all cities. Dr. Charles Vick, who has been greatly incapacitated for a number of years by falling eyesight, has so cured the agency for Hurlburt’s Story of the Bible, written so entertainingly that it has proven a splendid seller all over the country, being appropriate for either the old or the young. Dr. Vick has taken several subscriptions and the book would be a splendid adjunct to any library and he hopes to sell it into every home. Dr. Vick is convinced that an operation for his eyes will restore this sight and he will use the profits from his sales oward having the operation performed. His case is a very worthy one, and The Republican recommends it in addition to commendng the splendid book he is selling.

NO DIFFERENCE

The Proof Is Here the Same As Everywhere. For those who seek relief from kidney backache, weak kidneys, bladder ills, Doan’s Kidney Pills offer hope of relief and the proof is here in Rensselaer the same as every where. Rensselaer people have used Doan’s and Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s, the kidney remedy used in America for fifty years. Why suffer? Why run the risk of dangerous kidney ills—fatal Bright’s disease. Here’s Rensselaer proof. Investigate it. Mrs. Heury Randle, Forest St., Rensselaer, ImL, says: “I had a severe attack of backache, accompanied by pains through my loins. It was all I could do to work. When I was suffering the worst, one of my neighbors advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, in fact, gave me a few that she bad in the house. I took them and was so pleased with the results that I procured a further supply at Larsh’s Drug Store. They acted just as represented and in a short time I was free from pain. I think a great deal of Doan’s Kidney PiMe and highly recommend them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask tor a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Randle had.

MANY GOING ON CANADIAN EXCURSION'

Will Start From Rensselaer on July 7th and Entire Trip to Be Made In Pullman Car. Theodore George, agent for the Canadian Pacific lands for Jasper, Newton, White, Tippecanoe, Warren and Benton counties, has received a communication from the Canadian Pacific officials saying that the general passenger agent for the Soo line railroad will be here this week to make arrangements for the Canadian excursion from Rensselaer on July 7th. A 16-sectk>n Pullman car will be provided for the passengers from here. This is t(re largest Pullman made and has a capacity of over 60 passengers. The dir will be routed from Rensselaer to Chicago over the Soo line to St. Paul and Minneapolis northwest -through North Portal, North Dakota; thence over the Canadian Pacific direct to Calgary, Alberta. H desired the return trip will be made by the way of Edmonton, Alberta, thence through the Saskatchewan country, stopping at Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Regina; thence ‘east to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The round trip from Rensselaer to Calgary will be $49.50, plus the price of berths, which will be $3.00 for upper and $4.00 for lower. Passengers desiring to return sooner can do so on any regular train. Those desiring to take a shorter trip and only go to the Saskatchewan country can make the trip for about $lO less. Those desiring to take the trip should notify Mr. George at once, as it is necessary to know how many will make the trip so as to • permit the railroad officials to make the necessary arrangements for the trip. Fifteen persons so far have signified their intention to take the trip. It is advisable that as many as possible make arrangements to go on this trip, as the earlier one goes the better selections of lands can be made. This land proposition is absolutely backed by the Canadian Pacific railroad and no misrepresentations of any kind will be made. The land will be found exactly as represented, laying near good towns and railroads and the Canadian Pacific will co-operate with settlers every way to make their investments a success. Seed is furnished at cost and expert advice is furnished free as to the best methods of farming, and liberal loans for buildings and live stock is made to investors. As an example of ( what can be done in Canada might be noted what a few settlers from this vicinity have done: Sam English, who went from Jasper county to Saskatchewan, Canada., about eight yearn ago, is now a wealthy man and well satisfied with his new home. J. T. Ham went there from Mt Ayr eight years ago and Is reported to have become very wealthy. Mr. McCullough, a Monon conductor, sent his son, who was afflicted with tuberculosis, to Canada 15 years ago. He started’Hfe in that new country as a cattle herder. He has entirely recovered his health, and now owns nineteen sections pf land, has many herds of cattle, and his cheek is said to be good for nearly a half million of dollars. Philip Blue, o f wllO is now in Canada with his son-in-law farming 1,000 acres of land, writes very .enthusiastically of that country, and will probably locate there permanently in the future. Sam Duvall, another Rensselaerite who went to Canada some years ago, is another one who made good, and is able to take easy. There are many others who have had like experiences, and we have yet to hear of the first one to make a failure in that country. In Canada there is no tax on personal property or improvements, the tax being > assessed on land only. This makes the tax very reasonable and especially ewy on the man of moderate means. It is not necessary to become a naturalized citizen of that country to own land there, unless a homestead Is taken from the government Unnaturalized citizens, however, can vote In municipal elections and on school questions. If interested in this proposition write to Theodore George for illustrated literature, at Rensselaer, Ind., and if you are intending to We carry in stock Deering harvester machinery and repairs for the same: also repairsfor the MilHamilton e I ’J"'
