HOW DOES THIS STRIKE TOILERS?

Movement Now on Foot to Adopt Eastern Time in Middle West— Get 'Em Up in Morning.

Rensselaer people next summer will probably rise from slumber one hour earlier than they are now doing. If plans which are now be-

img carefully considered throughout the country are brought to a successful culmination, Chicago, South Bend, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Toledo; Cincinnati and Detroit, as well as all other cities now using central time, will adopt a working schedule based on eastern time. No action will be taken regarding the matter until after the subject has been discussed by the Chicago Association of Commerce, which organization will meet this week.

The suggestion has been made that Rensselaer set its chronometers in accord with eastern instead of central time as has been the custom for many years.

Therefore, when Rensselaer men accustomed to rise at 7 ojciock, jump out of bed some morning they may find that the hands of the clock are pointing straight up and down. ' «V , In Cleveland the change was made during the last summer and it worked with great success. Working people especially felt the advantage of the extra hour. Railroad officials and men interested iin stock markets favor a uniformity oT~ time between the middle west and New York.

I WILL WORK FOR M’COY’S RELEASE

That Was" Statement of Mrs. John Byerley as She Boarded Train For Scene of Frankfort Murder.

Urban a, 111., Dec. 6.—“1 am going back to Frankfort to 'help clear the man, who killed my husband.” This was the statement of the wronged wife of John Byreley, who was assassinated by William McCos at Frankfort, Ind., last week, because of his alliance with Mrs. McCoy, who shared his fate at the hands of her enraged husband. The woman who has avowed her intention of lending every assistance in her power to McCoy was known here as Beulah Miller, her maiden name, and when she boarded the train for the Indiana city she was accompanied by a man who has become interested i'n her case since she left her husband a month and a half ago because of his infatuation for the McCoy woman. “When I discovered my husband’s relations with that woman I begged of him to let her alone I knew McCoy was very jealous of his wife and I felt that something terrible would happen. When the situation heeaihe unbearable I left my home iand the . news of the double killing was not a surprise to me. Two have been despoiled by that mad infatuation and now I am going back and help free the man who avenged his own wrong and my honor.”

QUARANTINE AGAIN FURTHER MODIFIED

State Shipments on Certificate of Shipper—lnterstate by Approval of Federal Agent.

The quarantine has been further modified and the full text appears in this paper. The important things are the ability for all persons to ship stock within the state simply on a certificate of its good health, unless the stock comes from within a radius of three miles of infected territory, and that interstate shipments,, can be made upon the certificate of a federal inspector. Dr. Kapfnal, who has been the active representative of the state and government, -has arranged to have a federal inspector here within 24 hours of the time any application is made to ship stock. The shipper will be obliged to pay mileage and cost of examination.

Any who expect to take advantage of the modification of- the quarantine order should read the full text of the new oirder by Dr. Nelson, state veterinarian.

Eigelsbach Selected for All-State Quarterback.

“Hez” Clark’s selections for allstate high school football teams place William Eigelsbach, eaptain of the Rensselaer team, as quarter back of the first team and Pfrimmer Hopkins guard and Jimmie Babcock fullback of the second team. Clark. is an old football player and coach and keeps in touch with high school teams, thus giving him directly and through correspondents the information needed to make his selections. In speaking of Eigelsbach he says: “In choosing a quarterback it is necessary to select a real field general, a man who is perfect in passing the ball on both long and shoft forward passes, a player who if necessary cap punt or dropkick, and' also a man who is a strong open field and good on handling and returning punts. The player must be a sure tackier, and where it is possible must combine weight with these other qualities. If the long list there is one man who stands out and he is William Eigelsbach, of Rensselaer. He weighs 155 pounds, a sure forward passer, runs his team well, and is an exceptionally fast funner.”

Mr. Flynn had been in failing health for some time but until a few months ago he had worked most of the time, being a miller and very much Interested in the rejuvenation by Ralph Sprague of the mill which he had helped to operate for so many years. On the advice of his* physician he reluctantly gave up his work and since the middle part of the summer he had spent most of his time at Lowell. He returned here to register in September and to vote in November and that was hie last trip. Mr. Flynn is survived by two daughters and oiie son, namely, Mrs. H. Y.

LIGHT FIXTURES BEING INSTALLED

Gables and Globes Arrived Satuf7 day and New Boulevard System Is Being Installed. The new boulvard lighting system ordered several months ago by the city council and the installation of which was delayed is now being pub in. The posts arrived several wedks ago and the cables and globes came last Saturday. The Installation is rather a small matter and it is not improbable that they will be in before the week is out.

One of the lights was set up at the light plant Saturday night and the appearance was very pleasing. The light is brilliant and Washington street will be splendidly lighted when the system is completed. Ornamental street lighting is the refinement of illupoinaiton and we believe the be greatly pleased with our new “white way.” The lights used are the Noxalux, burning 20-ampere Mazda lamps.

Rainy Weather Caused Cancellation of Game.

The fair weather predicted for §unday did not materialize and when the drizzling rain of several preceding days was continued Sunday morning Manager Kiplinger called the Frankfort manager and infortoed him that the‘game would have to be called off. It costs something like ,S4O railroad fare and othersexpenses make a game run up- about S6O, so that the financial risk is too much when the weather is bad. The local Athletic team got a late start but made a very good record, losing only two games, both to Pine Village, a team credited with being the best independent organization in the state. Unfortunately the only games played at home were with Chicago teams of very inferior quality and the entertainment that was the incentive for the team’s organization was lacking. Had fair weather prevailed Sunday, however, it is probable that an immense crowd would have been present.

WEIGHING OF MAIL IS SOON TO START

Work Will Begin After the Holidays and Continue for Three Months—Expense of $400,000. Advance notices have been received at the railroad offices, announcing the regular quadrennial weighing -the mails, for the fixing of rates for railway mail pay. The weighing is to begin on January 1, after all the heavy mail is carried, and will last between thirty to one hundred working days. Whether the railroads will receive an increase in thedr ratesior the carrying of mail will be determined after the weighing. Since the -parcel post Was inaugurated the railroads •have been seeking an increase loth eir rates for carrying mail, as the government has been taking in nearly $30,000,000 additional revenue and the railroads have received no compensation'- for the carrying of the mails. •Railroad officials say the only fair way to base the charge for carrying the malls is on either the carmile basis or the space rate basis. Weighing the mails is unfair, as a decrease in the amount of. mail carried makes the government the loser, while an increase makes the railroad the loser. .... „ The weighing of the mails is can ried on at an expense of $400,000 to the government. A settlement of the rate on the spate® basis wquld do away with this unnecessary expense and would be fair to both the railroad and the government The extent of time that the weighing will be carried on has not been determined.

Mrs. Peter Nafziger Underwent Surgical Operation.

Mrs. Peter E. Nafaiger, of Jordan township, underwent a surgical operation in the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago last Wednesday, having a tumor removed. She withstood the operation splendidly and it is expected will be able to be brought home the last of this week.

DECIDE YOURSELF.

■ e The Opportunity is Here, Backed By Rensselaer' Testimony. Don’t take our word for it. Don’t depend on a stranger’s statement. Read Rensselaer endorsement. Read the statements of Rensselaer citizens. And decide for yourself. Here -is one ease of it. Charles Malchow, Harvey Street, Rensselaer, In<L, says: l “Kidney complaint and backache kept me .in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. My back was most affected and often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and orw getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Down’s Kidney Pills since when -having similar attacks and I ihave never failed to get relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan's Kidney Pitts—the same that Mr. Malchow had. Foster-Mi 1burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
