Peter Nomenson Trades For Lowman Bros.' Farm.

It takes something more than a snow storm and a democratic administration to keep Pete Nomenson, of Dwight, 111., from making a land trade and he has just concluded one with Wash S. and Harvey Lowman, getting their farm of 250 acres jn Hanging Grove township for a half section in Jackson county, Okla. Mr. Nomenson will get charge of the Lowman farm in the spring. He has made a number of trades in time past for Jasper county land and is always looking for a trade.

England Would Retain Right To Search American Cargoes.

England will probably demand the right to search all American cargoes, notwithstanding the fact that this country has offered to have a representative of the .treasury department certify the character of all shipments. England argues, and not without reason, that greedy shippers are apt to arrange for a transfer of cargoes at sea. It is evident from the tone of the discussion that England wants to be prefectly fair and that all shg seeks is her own protection and whatever . advantage she is entilted to over Germany by reason of her domination of the seas.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1915.

M'CORMICK BACK IN G. O. P. RANKS

Progressive National Committeeman Glad to Get Back—i Moose Left in Illinois Legislature.

Springfield, 111, Jan. s.—At- the republican caucus of the state house of representatives here tonight before the opening tomorrow of the Illinois legislature, Medill McCormick, member of the progressive national committee and member of the house, and with H. S. Hicks, of Rockford, the only piogressive in the lower ‘house, announced tbeir intention of voting" with the republicans during the session. *

McCormick, in a speech before the caucus, said: “I am glad to get back to the party of iny fathers” Hicks also -spoke. Both speeches were interrupted by cheering. When the republican represen-, tatives gathered, Representative Atwood introduced a resolution inviting the two progressives to enter the caucus. A few minutes later McCormick and Hicks were ushered in. McCormick’s name was suggested as a republican caucus candidate for the speakership. McCormick is .vice chairman of the 1 progressive national committee. Mr. McCormick made the following statement: •• j j “We have accepted your invitation to enter this caucus because we believe that the assembly cannot be organized and the business of the state cannot be done except through organized political effort We were confronted wTth the two possible courses. We Were not attracted by the Illinois democracy. We have joined with you in an earnest effort to organize the house without delay in the interest of the state.” State Senator George W. Harris, of Chicago, the only, progressive member of the supper house, said: ‘This can mean nothing except the speedy amalgamation of the two parties.”

Christian Church Revival.

Another very large audience gathered at the Christian church last evening and a splendid are: vice resulted. There was one addition to the church. The singing was the. best yet, and before the expiration of the week you will hear the best singing ever listened to in Rensselaer. Prof. Altheide’s solo was particularly impressive. The sermon was on the theme: “Sowing Wild Oafs.” The speaker said in part: We need to' speak in the plainest us terms today. If a man defrauds a bank or a business concern we are prone to say “he misappropriated funds,” when the truth of the matter is he has stolen and is a thief. If a man side-steps duty, we say “he has had a lapse of memory.” When in reality he is a liar. When a young man sins against his God and his own best Interests the fodlish parent will say: “O, he is only sowing his wild oats as other boys.” Yes, he is sowing his wild oats and God as well as the laws of human nature say, “he will reap his harvest of" taxes.” It is all right for any young man or woman to seek legitimate pleasure and amusement. But wtong, decidedly wrong, to play loose and fast with the moralities, principles and 'sacred things of life. Parents should never say that their boy will come out all right, when sowing his wild oats. Can a man take fire in his bosom and not be burned? Sin leaves its shiny stain bo hind. It leaves its mark in the body. The man that drinks lifts the suicidal arm aga’ust himself, and the feeble tottering frame is only the mark of his sin. It leaves its mark in the conscience. Though a man live to the century mark he can touch the secret spring and the sins of his youth will be enacted afresh before him. No man who sins against his God, no young man who sows his wild oats can ever expect to stand high in the social world. The greatest lives of all history have been those who started early to build for manhood, chaiacter and God. The demand today is for clean, honest and Godloving manhood and womanhood. Tonight’s service will be the best yet The sermon will be on the question: “Is There a Hell?” What does the Bible and life life tell us abou it? The singing will be good and you will like the serivee.

Where is Wheat Going? Chicago Price Up to $1.35.

Wheat hit the high mark of $1.35* in Chicago Tuesday. The quotation in Rensselaer is $1.20. No. 2 red winter wheat went to sl.36Vi in Chicago, the highest price since 1882. The priee for cash wheat,is said to be the highest the Franeo-Prussian- war of 1870, that I* fjfr* highest tor this time of the I year. -

Bought Some of the Finest Hampshire Sows in Country.

John R. Lewis, of Barkley township, who has been one of the county’s foremost men in the full blood stock business, has just received six head of full blooded Hampshire hogs and will receive two head more. Six of them were purchased of Crouch & Son, of Lafayette, and the other two head were purchased at the sale of Joseph S. Br-ooks, of Chalmers, Tuesday. At that sale Mr. Lewis bought the top price sow of the sale, getting a big brood sow for which he paid $167. Mr. Lewis has enjoyed fine success wit hhis Hampshire hogs, pronouncing them after some experience the best all around farm hog and he will engage extensively in their breeding. The Hampshire is a black hog with a white girdle at the shoulders. T.h y are large, clean and extremely healthy

Ownership of Property Somewhat of a Mystery.

_ Some time ago John D. Moore, son of B. J. Moore, recovered Judgment against the Indiana Northvveste. ri Traction company for services and an execution was issued. The sheriff attempted to levy on property supposed to belong to the defendant, which was stored in the Nowels hotel. Warren Robinson refused to permit the sheriff to levy upon the property.

The plaintiff then filed his complaint against the defendant and Warren Robinson. and .the cause was heard before Judge Hanley on Jan. 4th and the testimony showed that the room in the hotel building had been rented to H. J. Wilson, who was the engineer of the company, and that the typewriter and some of the surveying instruments were marked with the Initials of H. J. Wilson. The court intimated that the surveying instruments, clothing, books and typewriter probably belonged to Mr. Wilson, but that the adding machine, office furniture and fixtures probably belonged to the company. it is altogether likely that the court will order the*l«tter property sold to satisfy the judgment. There are said to be judgments aggiegating several hundred' dollars against Wilson and the balance oi the property may be taken to satisfy such judgments. Moses Leopold appeared for the plaintiff and Chapman and Blue for the defendant Robinson. To whom the property really belongs is- even doubtful after the hearing, as there was of course no positive evidence of ownership.

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. Many Similar Cases in Rensselaer and Vicinity.

This Rensselaer woman’s * story given here is not an isolated case by any means; week after week, year after year, our neighbors are telling similar good news. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had* prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and I was so well pleased with the benefit I got that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then, when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial... Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself,' have been greatly benefited.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same 'that Mrs. Hickman had. FosterMilburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

MONNETT SCHOOL REACHES CAPACITY

Attendance ol Thirty and Applications On File—Future of the School Encouraging.

Monnett School for Girls, the capacity of which has been considered twenty-enght, now has an attendance of thirty, for which nmikber arrangements have been made. Four more applications are already on file and it is probable a dozen new pupils could be secured with a little effort to start in the February term. There fs a demand for a girls’ boarding sehool where the best Christian influences are offered and the Monnett School for Girls is growing so rapidly that immediate steps for building new lines must 'be undertaken. It is probable that within two or three years the attendance . can be brought up to 75 or even a hundred. Theer Is immediate need of a commensurate building, new and modern and inviting. Rensselaer is indeed fortunate to have this promising school in our city and it is surely to be hoped that some Rensselaer person will recognize its great good, its great need and make a big gift toward the new building. It is now a distinctly Rensselaer institution, with a local board of management and it will be in only a few years an institution to-which we will all point

with pride. There is only one possible solution to the present congested situation, and that is to arrange sleeping accommodations for the girls away from the school. Otherwise they must be turned down.. It is probable that Miss Simpson will be pleased to hear from any who can furnish rooms for the overflow that seeks admission. All Rensselaer should help the Monnett School for Girls. '

Planning Temporary Use of New Gym Basketball Floor.

In order to accommodate the basketball squad at St. Joseph’s college plans are being made to put the big court in temporary use and the baskets are being erect, d and the windows screened for the practices which have been going on at the armory for some time. The ground floor will be used until such time as the gymnasium floor can be put in. ~ i* Henry Hipskind, former St. Joe student and papular -in athletics, was here Tuesday and returned this Wednesday morning to his home in Wabash. He is a member of the Hipskind Heating and Plumbing Co., of Wabash, and his firm has the contract for the new heating plant at the gymnasium. He arranged to begin installation of the plant a once and to have heat in the gym for the first match game of basketball, so that spectators ca nbe comfortable.

A Well Deserved Vacation for “Rob".

“Rob.” of.Brahser Falls, N. Y., is enjoying a well-won and long deferred vacation. “Rob” is a family horse, and an unbroken record of 79,680 miles entitles him to his rest. Dr. A. W. Baker, a veterinary surgeon of Bra Sher Falls, is "Rob’s” owner, and in May, 1912, he decided that “Rob” was beginning to slow up a little bit—while not remarkable—was a rather serious problem to solve in the doctors practice. To supplement “Rob’s” service Dr. Baker bought a Ford oar, in which he has now covered 19.158 miles, and the car shows little sign of depreciation. Without any reflection upon “Rob’s” efficiency, Dr. Baker’s practice has grown to sueh dimensions with the addition of Ford equipment, that it is now necessary’ in the winter months —when horses are necessary on the country roads —to use four horses and the service of the railroad. In the spring Dr. Baker expects to add a Ford road.ster to his motor car equipment because, as he expresses it, "The much lower up-keep and the largely Increased revenue have combined to pay for the touring ear every season.”
