* A bright sun and a slightly wanner atmosphere indicates that perhaps the weatherman did know what he was about when he said springy arrived last Sunday morning. If you want to laugh reaenfe seats now for “The Rose of the Range.” . Several farmers in town today report that oats sowing is going on. in various places. Some consider it too cold, however, to take a chance and are going to wait for a few ddys. A United States warship will be sent to Yucatan, Mexico, with money to buy the sisal hemp necessary for the making of binder twine. It is estimated that $625,000 worth of sisal will be necessary to make twine for the wheat crop. The so-called blockade of English waters and the inability to ship to Germany has not seriously interfered with our exports, according to figures just issued by the department of commerce and during the month of February our exports increased $100,000,000 over the same month of last year. We have been selling for a number of years from thirty to fifty Case com planters. They have given universal satisfaction. HAMILTON & KELLNER. Matt Brown, residing near Hebron, is supposed to have beaten the record this -year by sowing 25 acres of oats a week ago. A few farmers have followed his example, but most of them prefer to wait for April. Spring plowing is in progress all over the county and the soil works excellently, except in localities, where complaints are heard of dry weather. — Valparaiso Vidette.

J. W. Sink, who works for the International Harvester Co., has rented the Albert Swartzell property on Vine street, near the depot, and will move here from Joliet, 111., next week. He plans to bring his household goods here on auto trucks from that city. Rensselaer welcomes Mr. Sink as a citizen and if we had an interurban to make traveling more convenient, we would have a large number of traveling men residing here. The Makeever House seemed to be threatened by fire for a time this morning. Express Agent Hart saw smoke issuing from between the bricks near the flue on the east wall. The department was called and it was some time before the trouble was abated. The mortor seems to have fallen out from between the bricks of the flue and probably the smoke was caused by the burning of soot. The same thipg has occurred on one or two previous occasions and a bad fire might result should it happen at night. As it was no noticeable damage resulted.

Michael Nagel, who was called to his home in Mitchell, S. Dak., only a few hours after his arrival here, was unable to see many of his old friends owing to the short tim£ he was here. Mike is farming 1,000 acres near Mitchell and likes the country and is doing well. He has increased in weight, very much since going there and now weighs 260 pounds and as he exceeds 6 feet in height he is a tolerably large man. He will put out 300 acres of corn this year and also other crops. He reports a large amount of snow there this year and told of walking out to the harp,'one morning after a night’s show and the snow was up to his waist. Lots of snow in that country is a great aid to the crops of the following year and South Dakota is expecting a big crop the coming year. Wheat last year was badly damaged by black rust and Mike got only about 2,000 bushels from over 200 acres.

No Demonstration.

Owing to my sickness there will be ao demonstration at my store Saturday, March 27th, of the Wonder Washer. —C. W. Eger.

57 Days Without Food.

James Robinson, an inmate of the coutny infirmary at Warsaw, yesterday ended a fast that is said to be a world’s record. When he drank a glass of buttermilk it ended a fast that had lasted 57 days.

Lipton declares that the only way to rid the country of the disease is by fire, which' was made necessary to rid London of the great plague where the houses and clothing of the victims were burned.

Report of Hessian Fly In Wheat Caused Alarm.

The wheat market on the Chicago board of trade was affected Tuesday by a report that the Hessian fly was showing signs of great activity and a leading authority predicted that the next few weeks would bring about an unusual number of complaints of the presence of the insect pest. He said that an especially large area was threatened and that the scare will probably develop from western Ohio to eastern Kansas. There is a large amount of wheat in Jasper county this year and it came through the winter well but according to some farmers with whom we have talked is now needing rain badly. No reports of the fly have reached this office so far, but this erport in Chicago will probably cause growers to investigate.

MONTANA TRACT TO BE OPENED SOON

8. W, Richardson Writes From Clear i\»h» to Inform Friends of Opportunity There. S. W. Richardson,'who left Rensselaer several months ago and located near Clear Lake, Mont., wishes his old acquaintances to know that a new land tract in that state is to be opened to settlers and writes as follows: _ - G. W. Morrow has arranged with state land officials for the sale of 100,000 acres of arable land located in Choteau county, tributary to Geraldine. Arrangements have been made to conduct the sale in Ft. Benton on May 4,11, 18 and 25. All disposals will be made under Hie supervision of state authorities and according to the auction rules approved by the state. A> board 'of appraisers will be selected by the state department and the land will be sold to settlers based upon the appraisement of this board. None of the land offered for settlement has been cutlivated, mostly having been used for grazing purposes since the white man entered this country. The Milwaukee railroad will make a very low excursion rate for the round trip from Chicago to Geraldine, Mont. The land will be appraised for about sls per acre and sold for 15 per cent cash and the balance on 20 years time with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. I live 13 miles-north of Geraldine and only 4 miles north of the state land and I now have 9 miles of open prairie to go through to reach town. This is all good wheat land. Wheat in this country last year averaged 24 bushels per acre and oats went from 30 to 60 bushels. This county has only been formed 5 years and has never had a failure. I shall be pleased to* answer any inquiries froifi the people of Jasper or adjoining counties about this opportunity.—S. W. Richardson, Clear Lake, Mont.
