The Oaks and Parr hall teams played a game at the latte place Sunday, the score being 17 tc| Bin favor of Fair Oaks. The feature i of the game was the batting of Fail j Oaks, hitting Longstreth so harcl that he was taken out in the 4txfl inning. His place was taken byl Brusnahan, who could not stop th(j slaughter and Longstreth was rel turned to the box in the 7th. This is the third game Parr has lost thid season, the other two being taken! by. the Rensselaer Athletics. A small crowd witnessed the game, which! was too much onesided to be interesting.

Rensselaer, Like Every City and Town iu the Union, Receives It People with-kidney ills want to be cured. When pne suffers the tortures, of an aching back, relief, is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but not permanently. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity. Mrs. Mary E. Warsher, 8. James St., Goodland, ]nd., says: “I was taken with an acute attack of kidney trouble and distressing pains across the small of my back. I had but little ambition, and the least exertion tired me. I was nervous and in the morning when I first got up, I felt no more rested than when I went to bed. The statements I read about Doan’s Kktney Pills so convinced me that I'finaffly began using them. I never took another med.lclne that gave such prompt reliet Two boxes completely cured the attack and I had no further trouble for some time. Then I at once used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they again brought relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sipiply ask for a kidney remedyget Doanes Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Warshner had.

W. R. Lee came home from Bluffton last week after closing out a big stock of goods he had purchased. He was about done up with the heat of the closing out Campaign and had decided not to tackle another job before cooler weather, but his 1 resolution was not very firm and he wtas just as keenly on the lookout as he had ever been before and last Saturday he went to Mt. Ayr and closed a deal for the purchase of the W. A. Lyons store, the largest general stock in Mt.Ayr. Lt is th e old Sigler store, in fact, and iu point of location and prestige it is the leading store in that town. I tis not Mr. Lee’s intention to close it out, but to place Sim Wells in charge and to continue the business. Mr. Lyons has a hotel at Ligonianignd wiß go there to take charge/pf it. The stock is to be invoiced Tuesday and Mr. Lee will take charge at once.

Mrs. B. J. Moore and children, Harry, Brook and Elisabeth, and Hemphill, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. Moore’s slater, Mrs. John C. Lowe, of Monon, left 'by auto Sunday for Columbia Oity, where Mrs. Moore has a sister and they will camp out for a week at Dwyner jLake, near Colombia City. The /article published Saturday .to the effect that Firman Thompson had 63. acres of wheat that had made 39 bushels to the acre was not correct. He did not have his grain thrashed out sufficiently to get the average. An authentic statement about the yield will be made within a few days. —£ ' The forecast- for rain looks occasionally as though it might materialize and then the sun breaks through and ft look's as though there is no chance. It is the dryest for this time of the year that it has been for many years and corn is now suffering a great deal. Several farmers jeported Saturday that it was firing on the high land. Pasture land, is parched and all crops are suffering. Reports from Newland state that onions are beginning to suffer, especially the later ones.'

The completion of the new brick street Saturday was delayed by the fact that the brick gave out when only a small place remained to be filled. This was finished this momipg, however, and the cement flushing process Is. going on today. It will probably be about Wednesday or Thursday when the entire street is opened to travel. It is generally regarded to be an excellent street and one that will last aN long as most ot us are here to enjoy it. Order a rubber stamp today from The Republican. .-7. ~

ROADS ABE EAD; JASPER IS BEHIND

Must Do Something io Make Boads Better—Suggestion About Brick i i Bead to College. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Engltefoof Danville, HL, visited his brother, Dr. E. C. English and family, Sunday. They were on their way to Danville from Chicago, and Mr. English stated that by far the worst roads encountered were in Jasper county. Many others are saying the same thing and our local people confirm the statements. Jasper county is spending many thousands otf dollars each year in repair work and forces of men are at work all the time in filling up the hollows with new rock. Every new road that is constructed and turned over to the county adds to the expense of upkeep and it will prove burdensome to taxation before very long. Certainly we must do something to make the .roads better and at the same time guard the expense of upkeep. The Rensselaer-Remington road is probably the worst. It was built, that is, a considerable part of it, within the past eight years and has been repaired year after year. There is probably enough good rock between Rensselaer and the college to make a good toad, but it is always filled with chuck holes. Borne believe that it could be worked up, rolled, redressed and made into a good road without very great expense. Probably oil or tarvia could be used with satisfactory results. Some say that we are building our roads too cheaply and that we'must build better if we expect them to last. Several have been discussing the possibility of making a road of brick all the way to the college. The distance from the bridge to the college gate is about a mile. It is believed the present roadbed could be used with digging up, rolling, putting on the sand cushion and then the brick. Thirty feet wide might rot cost over $3 per running foot. This would make the improvement cost about $17,000 to the college. It would be worth the eost, we believe. In the meantime our road building and our system otf repairs needs to be given a lot of consideration, and something done to make our roads as good or even better than our neighbors.

Trespass Notice

Owing to depradations committed by youths who have gone swimming in the river in the rear of my property, I am compelled to issue this trespass notice, and hereafter any men or boys who enter the grounds will be. prosecuted.—C. Kellner, i A fire on Firman Thompson’s ranch Saturday burned over considerable hay stubble and was kept out of the wheat stubble only after a hard fight.

Delphi beat Goodland Sunday on the former’s grounds Bto 3. Englis pitched for Goodland and was nicked for fourteen safeties, while J Coble, of Delphi, was only touched fbr seven. Although Goodland gave the locals a bad beating, Delphi had to play all the baseball they knew to gain the decision over the Athletics, leading us to believe that we are still in their class. 'Rensselaer is to play a return game at Wheatfield Sunday, Aug. 30th. Hope the roads are good so that a crowd can go from here. Lafayette has a lot of good ball teams this year, a city league of eight* teams all playing good ball Sunday the Riversides wen anothed game from the I. W. C. team by the score of 4 to L The Riversides are still on top. That is the team that defeated Rensselaer a week ago. Bicks, who was St. Joe's beet pitcher the past season, is pitching for the Y. M. 1., and he lost Sunday’s game by a score of ’4 to 3. The-Loeb & Hene team was winner. Rensselaer will probably get some of the other Lafayette teams tor fames before the season doses. An effort is to be made to have all the stores close fbr the Chippewa Indian game on Thursday of next week, July 23rd. It is hoped to get a big crowd out for the game* and many of the business men ‘and clerks want to go. The stores could close from 2:30 to 5, o’clock without any great lose of business.

The U. 8. Army team, which caught the Athletics on an off day and (beat them 10 to 1, wants to come back again and they will probably be given a chance. The Chicago Movies defeated the swift Belvedier,'lll., team Sunday by the Moore at 8 to 1. This Is the second time they have played Belvedier this year, and the. pictures have proven so interesting there that another game is probable. Tracy Wlteox, at the Mandel team. Chicago, pitched the game Sunday against The Hub, letting the latter down with 6 hits and defeating them handily.

HANGING GROVE.

Obituary. George Washington Dennis was bom near Circleville, Ohio, 1848, and when 9 years old moved with hii parents to Douglas county, HL, where he grew to marihood. In 1884 he was married to Susan FickliU, who is left to mourn her loss. No children were bom to this union and besides his wife he leaves one sister and three brothers. They moved to theQarm,east otf.McCoysburg, where he died, only a few years ago, but during that time Mr. Dennis had made many friends. Short funeral services were held at the home Sunday morning at 9 o’clock and the remains were sent to Tuscola, DL, for burial. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hitchings visited with their son, O. E. Hitchings and family Sunday. The success of the hoys’ ice cream supper Saturday night was somewhat marred on account of the death of Mr. Dennis. It was first thought they would postpone it, but having their cream on hand they were obliged to make some disposition otf it

Attorneys. Parkinson and Honan were in Lafayette Saturday in the interest oftfoe Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. They were opposing the plan to grant ajranchlse giving all the roads of the county over to the Brown-Elmore people. The commissioners there saw very readily that a franchise should be granted only for a definite route and Brown was required to select a route. This will cause the proposition to lay over for a month and the franchise to be republished. Water is running low in the wells that supply Rensselaer. The pumps are adequate but the supply short. There is a considerable abuse of the use of water and it will eventually result on water going on a meter basis. The sooner the better that a notice of warning will be published in a day or two and that the use of water for lawns and gardens will be curtailed. Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Wartena and their two sons, of Leßoy, 111., are spending a few days with-his brother, A Wartena and family, arid his sister, Mrs. Fred McOolly and family. Lorenzo started his vacation by going to Chicago and buying at a bargain a 1912 model Hudson auto, which he is devoting to his family’s enjoyment durng a month’s vacation. Lorenzo and Luther are the owners of the light plant at Leßoy and they recently completed the building of a transmission line from Bloomington, Hi.. 16 miles away and have abandoned their own plant. They are able to purchase the current for less than their coal cost them when they generated the electricity themselves. In addition to this they pass through another small town with their line and this enables them to supply that town and some of the country side. They are finding the new system much better than the old.

There is quite general favor expressed about a concrete bridge across Washington street and only one thing seems to stand in the 'way. That is the possibility that the present channel of the Iroquois may not be sufficient to carry off the water when the Ryan ditch Is completed. That ditch with its various laterals wIH be almost 100 iKiil in length. This will bring a great amount of Water with a oongidenabte rush and the channel as it now exists may not be sufficient. If it would have to be lowered or widened through Rensselaer the cement arch would have.to be taken out or the dredge dismantled and taken through or over. Some one has suggested that before the arch is built the rock beneath might be blasted and taken out, making a hole sufficient to permit the passage of the boat when the spuds and booms are removed. Business men along Washington street are all very anxious for the new bridge if it can be built without too great a cost. It should be as wide aa the brick street, thus almost doubling the driveway, --i

Boys Seem to Have Difficulty In Behaving Themselves.

Conrad Keener Mg friend otf the boys and likes to see them enjoy themeleven .but his teen taxed a great deal thig spring and he has finally decided that he will forbid boys and men from entering hia premises at aIL Mr. Kellner’s property extends from Grace street back to the river and boys have established a swimming Thu ™ not objectionable as long as they confined themsdlves to swimming, but they have abused the privilege in a number otf ways. They have stoned the cows and other stock and have chased the cows over the lot and last week five boys caught hold of a cow and tried their best to dreg her over the high embankment. Mr. Kellner decided to put a stop to the practice and the trespass notice is the result Much trouble was also caused A. Gangloff and family, whose property is near Mr. Kellner’s. Last spring one of their horses was shot and severely Injured and other trouble resulted. Boys must remember that the property on which they are when swimming is private property and that everything, including feijces, belongs to the owners otf the property, and if It can not be respected then they may expect to have their Ifbertles cut down. It is time for the boys to consider these things seriously and Mr. Kellner is determined, as also Is Mr. Gangloff, to make the boys stay off their properties. - .
