GEORGE HOSMER DOES MAGNANIMOUS ACT

Aged and Highly Esteemed Citizen Gives $3,000 for Pipe Organ to Trinity Church.

“Uncle” George Hosmer, who for many years has made his home at the iMakeever hotel, Thursday gave to Trinity M. E. church for the purpose of a pipe organ the sum of $3,000. The announcement was made by J. J. Hunt, of the Trust and Savings Bank, to whom Mr. Hosmer made the pledge. The gift is very pleasing to the congregation and to all friends of the church and also to iMr. Hosmer’s friends, who will be glad that he has left a memorial of such value and of his own excellent life. iMr. Hosmer is not extensively known, although he has been a resident of this city for a number of years and of the country for a long time. He was never married and is now about 77 years of age. He owns land in this county and in Pulaski county and has no relatives in thk state. It is understood that the bulk of his estate is to go to a nephew and other relativ L-o i n j the east.' That he has made this gift to a local church is a fine example of his nobleness of soul. He has at former times contributed with liberality to the church and to other good causes. He gave to the cemetery association, to the library, to the Miiroy monument fund and other good causes* The giving to substantial causes by men who can afford to do so is a proof of their appreciation of the higher opportunities of life and the act of Mr. Hosmer will endear him to the community in a way that will be enduring. We never think of the/life of Dr. W. W. Hhrtsell that it does not occur to us how much better it would have been had he left the bulk of his estate to the erection of some memorial here where he had so long lived, where he had accumulated his estate and where he had so many friends. His money went to indifferent relatives, who had scarcely known him during his life. He could have built a memorial bridge, a hoSpital, a city hall, a park, could have done as Mr. Hosmer has done and his life would have shed an influence that was lost by his neglect to see his opportunity. Plans will at once be taken up for the purchase of an organ. Public announcement of the gift will be made at the morning service at the church Sunday.

Morocco Team Will Oppose Our High School Tomorrow. You fans, get out And cheer and shout; And we will put Our foes to rout. Get in the game, Don’t be so tame; Thus help to give Us lasting fame. Don’t be a “turk,” * Don’t loaf or shirk, Put be a booster . And see us work. We’ll turn the tide, We’ll get their hide, And give just cause For worthy pride. a

The strong Morocco football team will play here tomorrow. It is strong and big and two weeks ago at Morocco defeated our high school 20 to 0. Since then, however, Rensselaer has improved and there is reason to expect that the game Saturday will be a hummer with chances first-class for the local boys. The Morocco team is heavy and has some swift backs, but Rensselaer has been coached the past week to correct the weaknesses of its defense and the ends and the line will make a much better showing than they did in either of the two games played previously. The material is at hand for a mighty good team, but some way they have not demonstrated the dash that usually characterizes Rensselaer football teams and this week the coaching -haistoeen given with a view to putting “pep” into every play. The line men will be coached to get through and stop pilays behind the line, the ends have been speeded up and supplied with nerve, shifts have been made in the back field and the team will show too per cent improvement, which means that Morocco will know it has been in a football game.

START WORK ON BROWN INTERURBAN

Stakes Driven For Line From Lafayette to Kankakee, By Way of Rensselaer.

Lafayette, Tnd., Get. 22.—Lafayette’s latest interurban railroad project, the proposed line from this city to Kankakee, 111., was taken out of the realm of speculation yesterday afternoon and made an apparent reality When the first.stakes were driven and offices established in Lafayette. The Lafayette & Northwestern line has been in process of organization several months and franchises have been secured and all the preliminaries arranged. Bonds have been sold to farmers living along the route and the company proposes to make a specialty of rural freight service for hauling grain to city markets. The line will run from here northward to Montmorenci, then to Remington, Morocco, Rensselaer, St. Mary’s, St. Ann’s and Kankakee. There it will connect with the system running into Chicago. O. L. Brown, general manager, opened of- ] flees and appointed Harry Schel- ; hous as «ehief engineer. The survey 1 is now being made and much of the right-of-way has already been obtained. Tt is 'hoped to complete the _ line by next fall.

Autoes Responsible For Many of Present Day Sins.

Lake County Star. Automobiles will have numerous sins to answer for when the time of summing up comes. The nightly rides through Lake county, many coming from Chicago, and others of our own people, with young girls and other men’s wives for passengers, is not a sign that the wo rid is growing better. Hardly a sensational case is reported these times without somebody’s touring car, either stolen or driven by the owner, is mixed in the affair, and many of the fatal accidents comes from those unlawful trips in the disad of night when the people do not want to be seen.
