Rensselaer Tennis Players Were Victors at Chalmers.

Elvyn Allman and Dwight Curnick were victors in the matches held at Chalmers last Saturday, winning all four of the double sets by very emphatic scores of 6-1, 6-1, ‘(£3 and 6-4.’ They split even in the singles, each winning and each losing a set to Clyde Raub, who played in the finals for Wisconsin University a few years ago. Curnick won a set from Raub 7-5 and Raub then beat Allman 64. Allman came back, winning from Raub 6-5 and then Raub won from Curnick 10-8. .. . The other., players for Chalmers were Kassabaum, Rev. Lake and a dentist residing there. It would be a very nice thing if a return game could be arranged and if teams from other towns could be invited to come here to

meet local net artists.

DANGER IN DELAY

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous For Rensselaer People to ~ Neglect. The- great danger of kidney troubles is that they so often get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health will be gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's disease often follow in merciless succession. Don’t neglect your kidneys. Help the kidneys with Doan’s Kidney Pills, which are so strongly recommended right here in this locality. Mrs. Joseph Houk, 8. Benton St., Goodland, Ind., says: “I can highly recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills for they were of greater benefit than any other medicine I ever used. For, three years I was troubled with kidney complaiftt and at times my back ached severely. When I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills I decided to give them a trial and got a box. -.They relieved the backache and improved my condition in every way.” Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Houk -had. Foster-Mil-burn Co* Prop®., Buffalo, N.

JASPER COUNTY TO HAVE SHORT COURSE

Organization Effected to Make Purdue Week One of Most Profitable Ever Conducted. Jasper county is going to have a Purdue farmers’ short course. As lias been stated in the columns of this paper before, the Purdue short course Which is going to be offered in Rensselaer for Jasper county, is one of about twenty offered during the winter in different parts of the state. The course is in charge of eight regular Purdue instructors, and they bring with them a Carload of apparatus and live stock. » - Rensselaer is supplying the accommodations for the course ’in the way of buildings, and the usual particular building to secure has been very courteously provided for by the Main Garage. Difficulty is usually experienced in securing a building for a live stock pavilion. Mr. Shafer, of the Main Garage, has generously provided for this. difficulty and the quarters for the other departments have all been provided with the possible exception of quarters for the dairy department. In the dairy department types of dairy cattle are shown, milk tested, butter making, etc., are carried on with keen interest. Another department particularly interesting to this county will be the poultry department, where the different breeds and their uses are shown and demonstrated. Models for housing and caring for poultry are to be shown and demonstrated by the men in charge and lectures and demonstrations will be given on the housing, car, feeding and rearing of old dnd young poultry.

Work of high order and much interest is tri be given in the horticulture department, where demonstrations and classes will be held upon vegetable gardening and care of orchards, spraying, pruning, etc. Perhaps the two largest departments of the course are the corn judging classes and the live stock judging classes. Two double classes will be held daily on corn judging and other crop judging and for the other department. Purdue is bringing a team of prize Belgian mares, fat cattle, hogs and sheep. It is probable that the short course will be given here the week following the live stock exposition in Chicago, the first week in December, and if so, some of Purdue’s prize-winning live stock (or some one’s else) from the exposition, will probably be shown here in the stock judging classes. The department off particular interest to the . ladies of the county is the domestic science department, in which classes in cooking and house management are held, A lady instructor from Purdue has charge of this work and has the reputation of offering a very interesting course in her line of Work. The ladies will also be invited into certain gardening and poultry lectures offered in the respective departments.;

Certain leading men from the different communities and townships of the county met Friday afternoon in the high school building and discussed the short course with Prof. Frier, otfdfurdue, who met with them there at 3:30. This meeting was the result of a canvass made of the county during August by Mr. Coe, of the Rensselaer high school, and other men of the county, and all were agreed that Jasper county needed and would welcome the opportunity. for a farmers’ short course. Full representation from over the county was not had at the meeting, principally because of corn silage cutting, but from most of these places letters or word was sent asking (for the short course. At the close of the meeting officers to take chargfy-ef the short course in Jasper county were chosen: president, J. Ira Ooe; secretary-measurer, Father Daniels; vice president, Rev. Postill; chairman of committee on advertising and printing, Chas. G. Spitler; chairman of committee on sale of tickets, Stephen Kohley; chairman of committee On home economics, Miss Ethel O. Dyer; chairman of committee on corn, Henry Paulus; and chairman of committee for accommodations and rooms, Superintendent C. R. Dean, all of Rensselaer.

The different committee chairmen are selecting the fest of their committees and things are being looked to to be pushed well, especially since the affair is such a desirable one to be brought to the county. More will be heard concerning the short course later, continuing in the present fine prospect (for big things for Jasper county.

Forgers have been buAy lately at Hammond, Crown Point and Plymouth. Make it a rule not to cash a check for any person you do. not know or who is not identified by some reliable person.

Forcing the .Canadian Discussion On The Republican.

Some months 'ago Theodore George, a Rensselaer young man whose life is an open book, opened up a real estate office in Rensselaer to push the sale of Canadian land, acting as the agent for the Canadian Pacific Railroad. He secured office room in Republican and advertised extensively in this newspaper. Mr. George had previously been in the motion picture business in Rensselaer and during all of that time he had advertised extensively in The Republican and a friendship had sprung up between he and the publishers. He found it unnecessary to use The Democrat to any great extent, because The Republican went into practically every home. This created a green-eyed hatred on the part of Editor Babcock and he assailed the proposition Mr. George was advertising in a manner iso contemptible as to call forth many remarks from Mr. George’s friends and from respectable people who could see plainly that the purpose of attacking the Canadian proposition was a personal one against Mr. George and instigated The Democrat did not receive any advertising. The Canadian land proposition was solely Mr. Gauge's affair and Mr. George handled it by himself in the face of the contemptible tactics in which Babcock indulged. The Republican never came to the defense of Mr. George, because The Rephblioan itself was not assailed. But in a recent issue of The Democrat reference is made to The Republican, saying that E. J. and C. W. Duvall’s report of their Canadian trip was published much to the anger and chagrin of The Republican. This makes us a party to the cirticism and throws the bars down for our reply. We shall not trouble our readers about a long defense of Canada. We don’t know a great lot about it and it is not probable that there will be an extended exodus otf Jasper county people to that country. There are those, however, who are always looking for an opportunity •

for investment and who are seeking new homes, those who do not have sufficient money to buy land in this high-priced country. To them parts of Canada hold out fine opportunities. Not to the timid, not to those who hope to “get rich quick,” but to sturdy pioneel's who expect to endure some hardships and meet some disappointments' in the making of homes.

Philip Blue will return here about November Ist -to spend the winter. He has spent one summer there and it is understood has done very nieely. He will be able to enlighten any who care to learn about Canada. There are now in that country quite a number from Jasper county and we understand many of them are making money each year. C. W. and E. J. Duvall, who accompanied Mr. George to Canada, wrote back and brought back very discouraging reports of what they Saw. The Republican doubts the judgment of both of these men. 1 It is absolutely impossible that conditions could be as they have reported as some of the sections they visited have developed so remarkably within recent years. Bbt The Republican had no fight and made no reply. Now, however, it seems that The Democrat is determined to make us a inft-ty to its disgraceful assaults on Mr. George and we feel it perfectly fair to say that the failure of Bam Duvall is not sufficient cause to cast a stigma upon the Dominion of Canada. Sam went to that country a number of years ago. Most people will remember Bam. He was commonly called “Buck,” a nickname that will recall him to many who'might have forgotten that he had any other name. Bam was reported to be very successful for a number otf years, and his brother, C. W. Duvall, has talked personally with the writer, telling him how well Sam was getting along and what broad acres he was (farming and what an accumulation of stock he had made. That (sounded good to ail of Sam’s ©ld friends, for he had never shown much of the substantial about here. Sam’s prosperity up there, however, seemed to be short lived and various stories filtered all the way from Canada about Sam’s conduct On one trip down here he took a Mrs. Turner back with him and is supposed to have later married her. It was reported that ’ Mrs. Turner’s daughter parted Sam’s son, Charley, and his wife and that Charley had to leave Canada altogether and located in Montana. Of course, It’s a long way from here to Canada, and Sam’s life up there may have been as virtuous as a virgin, but judging from his old life here he is hardly the fellow one would expect to accumulate quite all of Alberta In a dozen years, and when his relatives found him clear down and out, after having understood that

THOMPSONS MARKON TURNED TURTLE

Accident Occurred Sunday at Zadoc and None of Passengers Were Severely Hurt. > Delos Thompson’s big Marmon touring car turhed turtle at Zadoc Bunday afternoon at about 5 o’clock and for about twenty minutes Mr. Thompson and Attorney Emmet Laßue were pinned beneath the car. Their traveling companions, Dr. C. E. Johnson and Druggist C. E. Garver, were unable to lift the car sq that they could be released, ana save for assistance secured when Attorney A. Halleck and family, accompanied by George Luce, of Chicago, and Mrs. Rose Luce and Attorney Caldwell, of Crawfordsville, the two men might have perished beneath the car.

Messrs. Thompson arid friends were on their way to Burroughs’ camp, north of Tefft, where they expected to have a fish supper. Just before the crossing of the wagon road with the C. & E. I. and the Wabash Valley roads was reached Mr. Thompson had brought his car to a full stop to permit Robert Michal, of Kniman, to pass. The Thompson car was then started at a slow pace to make the crossing. Just as it had passed over the tracks the front wheels veered slightly to the left from the wheel track in the sand and the side of the grade curved outward and the car went down the bank and turned turtle. The bank was probably four feet high. Dr, Johnson and Garver fell free from the machine. Thompson was caught across the body and Laßue was pinned under the back seat. Johnson and Garver tugged valiently to raise the car, but were unable to budge it. They expected that each breath from the men pinned down would be their last. They were getting desperate, for it is a very desolate place at -Zadoc and no aid could be procured without going a long distance. Just then Attorney Halleck and his party ar/ived from the north and the combined number were able to raise the ear and re,l eased the two men pinned beneath. Fortunately neither were seriously injured. The car had not suffered mrich, either. The windshield was broken, half of the steering wheel was broken off and one fender was bent The car was righted and Mr. Thompson drove it.home. The fish supper was not indulged in and during a quiet moment on the way home, Mr. Thompson broke the silence by saying, “How did you enjoy the fish supper?” After arriving home Mr. Thompson found that he had suffered a craeked rib and had some.other slight bruises.' Dr. Johnson found that he had a fractured collarbone and Laßue and Garver were uninjured except for bruises. It was a fortunate escape, almost miraculous, and none of those who experienced it ever want to flirt with an accident nearer the great beyond.

he was right in clover, it was doubtless somewhat of a shock and disappointment to them, although none of Buck’s old acquaintances were staggered by the Information. His condition, however, seems to have prompted the Duvalls to paint a picture of Canada so black that one would judge it to be a barren waste from one end to the other.

Canada has a greater area than the United States. It has some bad land, Just as Indiana has, just as Jasper county has. Not all who go there succeed, just as some who go to the Dakotas, to Montana and other western states tail while others lay the foundation for permanent prosperity. But Sam English is succeeding, Mrs. Bertha Bishop and her husband are succeeding, Tom Hart, of ML Ayr, is doing fine; Jay Allen, of Brookston, is getting to the front. A letter recently published from F. M. Lewis, whose wife was one of the Paris girls, formerly of this city, and who has been a resident of Alberta for eight years, can be depended upon 4s the judgment of an intelligent man who is right on the ground and knows. I The Democrat has been publishing occasionally communications from some person who has met disappointment in Canada. The letters show that the writers art of a type that are not apt to succeed any place. The writeA are unknown to Babcock, but he employs their miserable criticisms of Canada, not because they are worthy or fair or honest, but to continue his contemptible policy of abusing Theodore George, who refused to advertise in The Democrat. The Democrat is conducted by a man whose anhnovrity leads him to the use of tactics that have no parallel. for unfairness and dishonesty,

Democratic Newspaper Goes After Democratic Postmaster.

Editor Babcock was not the only disappointed and disgruntled newspaper man in the district. Over at Kentland Editor Steinbach wanted to be the official postalcard reader, and When the job went to Hume Sammojis he raised a howl. It sounded a good deal Mke the one which Editor Babcock let out when Mr. Littlefield received the appointment And Brother Steinbach is still howling, while Babcock seems to be getting a breath preparatory to a new start. Last week The Kentland Democrat'sailed in on Postmaster Sammons with a very bitter attack. He alleged that Sammons does not put in the time required by the government, that he illegally sought and holds a position as member otf the school board, that he plays golf a number of hours on some days of the week to the detriment of the postal service. He says that x he devotes much time to social and political gatherings and attends pleasure outings at will and has given no noticeable attention to the postoffice since taking the job almost fifteen months ago. Brother Steinbach has had a falling out with his pariy in Newton county to such an extent that the leaders have withdrawn their support and given it to the Morocco Courier and in this respect he seems a bit less diplomatic than Editor Babcock, who has assailed Congressman Peterson, Chairman Murphy, Secretary of State Bryan, Candidate Homer L. Cook, City Chairman McFarland, County Chairman Littlefield and has managed to maintain friendly relations with some of the rank and file, although a goodly number have lost confidence hi him. Last week a very prominent local democrat said he could not understand why Babcock still claimed to run a democratic newspaper, since he had assailed about all of the leaders, had criticised the acts of the democratic legislature and carried more Bull Moose editorials each week than he did democratic. But Babcock has a way of getting around these Mttle troubles that Brother Steinbach should emulate. It may be recalled that Brother Babcock has during some years posed as a temperance advocate, although he always assailed with remarkable bitterness the cause of the Anti-Baloon League, stating that prohibition was the real way to secure temperance. In recent issues The Democrat has been carrynlg ads for the Indiana Brewers Association. The one last week makes a comparison between coffee and beer, claiming that beer is much the less harmful. The Democrat will, of course, contend that it accepted the advertising at dull rates, but this will be a mighty slim defense to offer to temperance people who have tried to keep all intoxicating liquors out of Jasper county and who had been led to believe that The Jasper County Democrat would help them do so. The Republican has refused to carry any liquor advertising or to do anything to further the sale in this locality. We do not want that kind of money, but we do believe that Editor Babcock is the most artistic hand at doing one thing and claiming to do the other who ever conducted a newspaper in these parts. He says he is a democrat, but close observers fail to find any of the characteristics; he claims to be a temperance man, but he carries beer'advertising in his newspaper. Brother Bteinbach should come over and get acquainted with Editor Babcock and he might have better success in working the threeshell game of polities in Newton county. Will the person who ate a meal with A. M. Fernbact on Sept. 17, 18 or 19th, at the Makeever House, please communicate with Wr. Waymire, clerk, and greatly oblige.
