MANY WILL ATTEND BIG FOOTBALL GAME

Rensselaer and Pine Village Game at Morocco Promises to Be Exciting Contest.

Athletic circles are considerably enthused over the football game to I>e played tomorrow at Morocco between the Rensselaer Athletics and the Pine Village team, which is claimed to 'be the best independent team in the state.

As before reported the game is played on neutral grounds because the Pine Village athletes objected to coming to this city. Manager Kiiplinger has been assured that every protection will be given the players in the way of keeping the crowd off the ground while the game is in progress and any*’ one who opposes the authority of the ground police wjll be placed under arrest. The Rensselaer team will by far the strongest line it has had this year. Don Beam will play center, Harvey Myres, Bert Greenlee, Lou Putts, and Jim Thompson in the line, Charles Porter and Harry Hickman at ends and Fred Putts, Jay Nowels, Hugh Kirk and Lloyd Parks behind the line. Jimmie Eldridge and others will go along as substitutes. The game is for the championship of the independent teams of the state. It will be refereed by some Purdue man, an effort being made to secure Pete Vaughn. Probably many autos will go over from Rensselaer. Weather indications are ideal and ft is believed a great crowd will' be out to see the game, *

Mrs, A. F. Long and Miss Martha went to Chicago today for a short stay.

Don’t use harsh physics. The reaction weakens the ibowels, leads to chronic constipation. Get Doan’s Regulets. They operate easily. 25c at all stores.

U. S. Senator Kern’s 14-year-old son some time ago suffered a stroke of infantile paralysis and ha® just been operated on at Baltimore Md., and has recovered sufficiently to be removed to his home in Washington Tuesday. The operation required «the moving of a muscle, much the same as the operation performed on Harold Roth and Harold Nowels. The foot will remain in a cast for some time.

For any pain, burn, scald or bruise, apply Dr: Thomas’ Eclectic Oil—the household remedy. Two sizes 25c and 50c at all drug stores.

The Indianapolis effort to secure flour foT the starving Belgians is certainly commendable. There were some contributions from this city sent to Indianapolis papers but not nearly the generosity that was felt and which would have prompted much giving if some one here had taken hold of the matter. It Ip not too late yet and the churches dr the board of associated charties should start the effort today. The Republican will give it all the assistance possible.

Charles Marlin, the young man who wrecked Ed Olivers Buick roadster Thanksgiving morning, was able to be down Street yesterday and it might have been better if he had waited for a little while, for he found a constable ready to serve papers on him charging him with exceeding the speed limit on that eventful trip. He was taken before Squire Delos D. Dean, where he pleaded guilty and the newly elected justice fined him $lO and costs, amounting to $16.80. Charley denies the published report that he was intoxicated and furnished some proof from persons who saw him just before the accident that he was not at all under

the influence, While others are just as certain that he was intoxicated. That brings up the question as to just what condition a man is in when he can really be called “drunk.” A really drunk man was described to us the other day. It is when a man gets so much liquor in him that he is forced to lie down on his back and spread out his arms and catch hold of the. grass to keep from turning over. He can then really be called drunk. It is hoped whether Charley was drinking at all or not that the lesson he has received will induce him ’ to lead a life oJ total abstinence.

WORK STREET BRIDGE WILL BE A DANDY

Steel is Being Constructed and Will Be Almost Completed by Next Saturday Night.

The new Work street bridge which is being installed will be almost completed, say the workmen, by Saturday night. There will still remain to be done the filling at each end of the bridge, which the commissioners at their meeting next week will probably provide for. Th bridge will be a very nice one and will certainly serve a splendid purpose. *

The contract for the bridge was let to the East St. ’Louis Bridge Co., but the work is being done by the Winamac Construction Co. The bridge has a span of only 80 feet, but this seems quite adequate. There will be foot walks on each side and the driveway will have a floor of creosote blocks, which are practically indestructible and which are now being used in pnany of the bridges, owing to the fact that the planks frequently have to 'be replaced. The bridge can not be opened for travel until the approaches which were mainly built some years ago are completed.

Old residents Will note a marked change in the appearance of that section of the eity since the yea Sis when on every Sunday afternoon every person who could walk went' up to the ‘'artesian” well to a good cold draught of Adam’s ale. The old dam was long ago torn out, the old race was abandoned and later filled up, the river dredged and new homes built. The old pasture where the flowing well, which long since ceased to flow, now sets several feet above the river bank and some small trees which the owner, H. R. Kurrie, has caused to be planted, indicates that he proposes to turn it into a park, thus being a fine adjunct to his already magnificent residence and surrounding®. The residences of Dr. H. J. Kannal, Frank Haskell and Dr. A. G. Gatt, on the opposite side of the river, can be seen to the greatest advantage from the grade on Work street approaching the bridge from the east. John Knapp has taken much pride In the landscaping of his cottage home on the west bank of the river, having a stone Wall built and filled in and everything as tidy as a pin. Both sides of the river bank between Work street and Washington street are very untidy, piles of rock remaining and weeds growing. The Republican has a time or two mentioned the great possibility of making a river drive from Work street to the cemetery. It could be made a magnificent boulevard but the expense would be enormous, but it is one thing which we can take pride in the thought of and it may be that some person with an artistic eye and a plump purse may some flay offer to construct it, giving it his or her name and leaving a memorial that will be as lasting as all time. The Work street bridge, however, will be a great convenience in many ways and the. commissioners have done a splendid thing by having it built.

BOYS PICK UP MONEY DROPPED BY YEGGMEN

Lads Bind Big Roll of Bills in a Cornfield, Mutilated by Explosion Wrecking Bank.

Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 29.—Rcihard Thompson and Earl Plum, 14 and 16 years, respectively, today found a quantity of Qaper currency stolen by yeggmen who blew the safe in the State Bank of Chalmers on the night of Nov. 18 and carried away more than $3,000 in paper, gold and silver. The amount of the money found by the boys is difficult to estimate, owing to its mutilated condition, but there was a large roll of it.. The torn bills were scattered oh the ground, some of them loose and others in packages bound with rubber bands.

The boys hastened to town after gathering up every fragment, of the currency and reported their discovery. The Burns Detective Agency has, for the past ten days* been working on the robbery and developments are so rapidly that it is believed the* detectives will be able to make an arrest soon.

Illinois Farmers Humbugged With Bad Alfalfa Seed.

A large number of farmers near ML Carmel, 111., have been wanting to know what is the matter with the alfalfa sown by them this summer. While they put the ground in good condition and followed the prescribed ruliest the alfalfa in many instances has proved to. be so puny as hardly to be worth considering. Investigation has led to the discovery'that in such instances the seed sown was not the genuine American alfalfa, but the imported Turkestan variety, a large quantity of whieh has been brought into this country for the purpose of swindling the farmers. The real and spurious seed are said to look so much ajike that an expert can hardly tell them apart. > It is said that 300 or 400 acres of alfalfa vibrAt sown in that vicinity last summer, and of this a large per cent is of the worthless kind?
