Thanksgiving Hunting Will Not Be Allowed This Year.

You can not go hunting in Jasper county year. 'Governor Ralston has settled the question by issuing a prqclamation forbidding hunting in all counties where the quarantine against the foot and mouth disease has been established. Game wardens have been told to be on the lookout for violators and to place them under arerst, so the safe thing for hunters will be to stay at home in the forenoon and attend the football game in the afternoon.

NO DIFFERENCE 1 "" The Proof is Here the Same as Everywhere. For those who seek relief from kidney backache, waak kidneys, bladder ills, Doan’s Kidney Pills offer hope of relief and the proof is, here in Rensselaer, the same as everywhere. 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 oif dangerous kidney ills, fatal birght’s disease. Here’s Rensselaer proof. Investigate it. M’rs. Henry Randle, Forest St., Rensselaer, Ind., sajjs: “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 had 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 «f Doan’s Kidney Pills and highly recommend them.” Price 50c, at al.l dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Randle had.

SHORT COURSE HAS BEEN CALLED OFF

Foot and Mouth Disease Resulted in Cancellation of Plans For One in This City. ~ , The farmers’ short course which was being arranged for Jasper county and which gave indication of proving such a successful factor in the education of our fafm boys and girls and the grown-ups also along lines carried out at Purdue University has been called off, a condition deemed advisable in conse-

quence of the foot'and mouth disease. Prof. Ira Coe, agricultural instructor in the high school, had taken the necessary initial steps to make the course a splendid one and it is to be regretted that conditions have developed that will prevent it. The movement, however, has not been abandoned, but postponed until all danger of the spread of the foot and mouth disease has passed. The international live stock exposition .in Chicago was cancelled and it had been planned to bring to Rensselaer some of the stock exhibited by Purdue at the stock show. In addressing a letter to G. M. Frier, the associatehn charge of the short course and .xhibits, Prof. Coe had suggested a latefr date, possibly in February, but’.Prof. Frier’in replying said: “It would be utterly impossible at this tjme to say what we could do in February or any other time”

Continuing, Prof. Frier said: “You will notice in the Indianapolis Star of*Nov. 24th a report on further outbreaks of,the foot and mouth disease from other sources of infection. If it were not for this we could have probably planned for a few short courses later in the season. Now we do not know what to say except that we must be extremely careful and we must, cooperate in every way in freeing this state of the disease. Taking people and equipment from here and getting people together in considerable numbers at this time does not seem to be the wise thing to do at all. -We regret that so many localities are disappointed with reference to short courses but the foot and mouth disease could not be foreseen at the time we took up th#' short course matters. Whenever anything definite can be 'given you .concerning what we will do I shall be glad to write you.”

FACTORY IN SIGHT FOR RENSSELAER

Fair Proposition From Promoter and Inventors' to Take Over Building and Locate Here. Rensselaer has a factory in sight, a promising industry that seems destined to grow and develop into a very important industry within a few years. If the plans go through and there seems no probability of a hitch in the proceedings, the buildings .erected for. the match factory and which have been Unoccupied since the Sterling fiasco, will be put into condition for the manufacture of three patented articles, namely, a kerosene gas generator heating apparatus, a measuring tank for oil and gasoline and a water distilling machine. The negotiations have been brought to a point where the directors of the commercial club have entered into an agreement with the Linton Company for the building and the ground it The conditions are' that the Linton Company will make such repairs as the building needs, put up $3,000 to pay off the liens and other indebtedness and install machinery and operate its plant. If the company does this for a period of five years, during which time it pays out a minimum of SIOO,OOO in labor to its employes then the title of the property shall pass from the commercial club to the Linton Company. The'deed, however, will provide ‘that should the company move from Rensselaer short of seventeen years, the title to the property will again pass to the commercial club. The club does not put up a cent of money toward the factory promotion, but simply grants the right to the use of the buildings and places the title in escrow for five years, when if the company has fulfilled the requirements the property will pass to it. . Last summer Robert Winn, of Chicago, came to Jasper county in the interest of the Northwestern Indiana Traction Co., and learned of the vacant factory building and that it belonged to the commercial club. He recently took up the matter of forming a company to manufacture the paten ted articles above referred to, all of -which have been invented by Ernest O. Linton, of Waukegan, 111. Mr. Linton has invented a numb er of useful things in previous years and is a mechanic of ability. Associated with him is George; Bollman, also of Waukegan, and. they now have a small factory there, where they have been perfectng the oil heating system. Accompanying these gentlemen and Mr. Winn io Rensse laer was Robert M. Law, of New York,, a oomlnistion expert, who came to Chica go at the solicitation of Mr. Winn to Inform him and | interested pa rties of the practical I economy of i; he oil heating system over that of coal. Mr. Law claims and substantiates his claim by showing tire exact proportions of heat units in coal and kerosene. It is readily figured out that the cost of the I tea t if ’scientifically applied is only about 25 per cent of the coal cost, iri fa»ct, .only about 16 per cent, if full advantage of the flame is secured The gentlemen demo-nstrated the -burner at the office of C. G. Spit jter & Co., later at Fate’s College » Inn and at Tht Republican off jte. Mr, Linton will return Monde *y and will give further demount nations. The burner produces a blue, odor--1 ess and practically noiseless flame, its chief success being the neutralising the carbon in the oil and (turning it into gas. The burners can be used for any heating pur- . pose and it is the purpose of the manufacturers to introduce it for all purposes. They say that they can be used in connection with any heating plant, hot water, steam or hot air, and will save at least 70 per cent of the cost of coal.

Mr. Linton hopes to have associated with him in the company many of ths men who will be employed in the factory and they 'Will be given an opportunity to purchase stock in the company which is 'being formed. He says that he Ibelieves that within five years his factory will develop into the greatest heating establishment in the world. It is proposed to start the organization of the company at once and to make it, quite probably, a SIOO,OOO corporation. The acquisition of the Rensselaer building and the seven acres that it occupies will be worth something like $25,0004 It fe probable that twenty men only will be employed at the start and most of these will be skilled mechanics which Mr. Linton will bring here with him. There is much local enthusiasm at the prospect of getting a factory | for Rensselaer and all agree that a
