THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

TRACK MEET WITH BROOK TOMORROW

Ball Park to Be Scene of Events That Will Mark Close of Athletic Season in Rensselaer. Brook and Rensselaer high schools will meet here tomorrow afternoon, May 22nd, in a track meet that will be the last athletic event for the season. St. Joe was to have been in the meet, thus making it a triangular event, but no interest could be created out there and it became necessary to cancel the meet so far as they were concerned. Baseball holds the popular attention at the college, there being in all 22 teams there. Tuesday Superintendent Dean and Principal Sharp made a trip to Brook to arrange for the meet and the arrangements were not concluded. In fact, they were not definitely arranged until this noon when Brook called up and said they would be on hand. The brief amount of advertising will probably reduce the crowd some, but the track events are all very interesting to watch and it will be worth seeing. There will be running, vaulting, high and broad jumps, hurdles, relays, shot puts, etc., and Rensselaer hopes to prove its superiority over its neighbor. The event is scheduled to start at 1:15.

Roosevelt July Still Out— Looks Like Disagreement.

The jury that tried Theodore Roosevelt on the ground of libeling William Barnes was instructed by the court at Syracuse, N. Y., Thursday and entered the jury room to try to arrive at a verdict. In the evening one of the jurors, a progressive, called for the re-reading of a portion of the instructions. The part he desired read was the charge that the jurymen would not be performing their sworn duty if they considered politics or allowed their sworn duty as jurymen to be influenced by their individual political beliefs. j Justice Andrews, who tried the case, adjourned court until 10 o’clock this morning l .

Two Jasper County Men Made 32nd Degree Masons.

Emmet Louis Hollingsworth, of Rensselaer, and Henry Ward Marble, of Wheatfield, were in a large class of citizens of Indiana who were initiated into the Scottish Rite or 32nd degree of Masonry at the golden jubilee held in Indianapolis the past few days. The initiation took place Thursday and there were also 500 received it. Dr. H. J. Kannal, Dr. Paul C. Cumick, A. H. Hopkins and Ernest Lamson, of Rensselaer, attended the meeting and partook of the big banquet.

A feature of the Rebekah meeting in Indianapolis was the action of the Ford automobile manager, who sent 100 cars to the convention hall and took all the ladies who cared to go to the Ford assembling and salesrooms. It proved a very enjoyable side trip for them. The Busy Workers will sell the following: Cakes, pies> cookies, fresh eggs, chickens, bread, home made candy. Mrs. Marcellus Woltz, of Monticello, is a guest of Miss Gertrude Hopkins and is attending the luncheons and other social affairs planned for the various other guests whose names were mentioned in a previous issue of The Republican. The Busy Workers of the Methodist church will hold a market Saturday, May 22, at Warner’s hardware store.

A trip about town show’s that there are a lot of neglected places where the grass has grown past the lawnmower stage and some places w’eeds are thriving and should be cut. It seems that some energetic handy man would be able to make a good living for himself by contracting to keep these places mowed throughout the year. In many cases it does not show an unwillnignesiS on the part show an unwillingness on the part time. Often owners of vacant lots would be glad to keep them mowed if they could arrange to have it done regularly. Take the small parking between The Republican office and Schroer’s garage and the similar Mackey’s marble shop, the parking between the Central garage and Mackey’s marble shop, ehe parking at the comer of Cullen and Harrison street and a hundred other places. These are pointed out simply because they are near the center of town. Probably if some one engaged in the business and contracted with the owners they would find it would pay to purchase a horse lawnmower to do the work. The tall and uneven grass is unsightly and Rensselaer is apt to slip back if immediate steps are not taken to correct some of the carelessness that seems so evident. Another thing that needs to be looked after is the garbage collection. It wall soon be the harvest season for the flies and garbage poured over the ground is a great factor in their activities. There should be 200 families in Rensselaer willing .to buy enclosed garbage cans and they should be willing to pay 50 cents a month to have them emptied once or twice a week. That would mean SIOO for the collector. Possibly it could be done cheaper, but cheap or expensive it is better than neglect and the consequent spreading of disease gaoas,

Italy Joins War Against Germans—Allies Are Pleased.

Italy has decided to join forces with the allies against Austria and Germany. It is easy for some nations to take a hand against the under dog. Italy siezed upon an opportune time to try to enforce Austria to grant lands to her. Well, the price she will pay in blood and suffering will probably make it about the most expensive land she ever owned. Doubtless diplomatic England has lost no opportunity to drag Italy into the conflict. In Washington the entering of Italy into the war is regarded as a possible means of bringing about peace. This is based upon the belief that Germany will give up the unequal struggle. Germany can not take up the offensive and that is the only manner of winning in conflict. It is to be hoped that the United States will keep out of the trouble and that it can never be accused of allowing some infractions of international law being its basis of climbing on to a nation already fighting at such tremendous odds. Tom Boyle is home from Newton county, where he has been working for Contractor Teach on the gravel roads. He goes from here to Michigan in a few days, where Mr. Teach has another big contract. —North Judson News. Remember the market Saturday at Warner’s hardware store. Some women still demand bird plumage for their hats. This is outrageous. For one, the editor of The Republican is ready to join in refusing to print the name of a woman in the paper who wears the plumage of our feathered songsters in her hat. —Knox Republican. Jersey sweet potato plants at the Home Grocery. Up to May Ist of this year there had been collected in Indiana $458,325 for automobile tax, which is $149,000 more than the first four months of last year. Number plate contracts are to be let by the state and bids are asked for 160,000 for the ensuing two years. Jasper county’s split of the money will be considerably-in-creased and there should be provision made for oiling or putting tarvia on the main traveled country roads. , . I - ■ HI Leave your orders for strawberries, fresh every day. HOME GROCERY.

Now 7 that Russell Pethrick, the 21-year-old fiend who murdered Mrs. Coppersmith and 2-year-old boy in Chicago, has been caught and pleaded guilty to everything concerning, the terrible double murder and robbery, his trial should only last long enough to get the scaffold and rope ready for action. But a “fair trial” and no doubt a defense on the grounds of insanity will be taken into consideration and the usual farce will be gone through with. Such beings should be wiped off the earth as fast as caught and proven guilty.—Crown Point Star.

Plenty of good country butter, 25e the pound. HOME GROCERY.

There is probably no more attractively landscaped place in Rensselaer than the beautiful little enclosure at the Monon depot and yet many pass by without ever noticing its' charm. Probably many who read Gene Stratton Porter’s remarkable story, “The Harvester,” could see nothing surrounding the Medicine Man’s house in the woods but a mass of vines and shrubbery in a conglomerated mass, but in one little corner of the depot park may be counted at least a dozen varieties. There are beautiful yellow and white and purple lillies now in bloom and also the handsomest honeysuckle. There was same beautiful bridal wreath but the heavy 7 rains spoiled it. The plants and shrubs rotate in their blooming and there are always some in blossom. The work was arranged and superintended by a woman and although only in its second year is a splendid success.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don’t Stay Gray! Here’s An Old-Time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

Mt. Ayr[?]otes Picked Up From Visitors From There.

County Clerk Perkins and Bride Given Rice Shower.

Friends of County Clerk J. H. Perkins, who arrived here Thursday evening from Kenton, Ohio, with his bride, met them at the depot that evening and gave them a big shower of rice. They were taken to Mr. Perkins’ residence on Cullen and Grace streets and later in the evening they were treated to an old-fashioned charivari. Mrs. PerkinS’ daughter, Mrs. O. E. Miller, of Burnetts Creek, came this morning to pay them a short visit and extend her well wishes to them.

Rensselaer Woman Marries Knox Courthouse Janitor.

Mrs. Ida Kistler, whose name was Masterson before she married Kistler, has taken husband No. 3. He is John W. Seagraves, janitor of the Starke county court house at Knox. Their marriage occurred Saturday, May 15th, in the court house at Knox. The officiating officer was justice of the Peace Kratli. They will reside on Shields street in Knox.

Didn’t vote on Dixie Highway At Chattanooga Thursday.

The Dixie Highway did not get around to the podnt of selecting the route Thursday and that is being taken up today. The air line boosters are said to be getting in some mighty good work and things generally look favorable for the route through Rensselaer. Secret caucusses are being held and there is every activity of a political meeting.

URIC ACID POISON UNDERMINES HEALTH

Rheuma Drives It From the System and Eliminates Rheumatism. Ever since Rheuma has been sold in this vicinity, the sale of this marvelous rheumatism remedy has been steadily on the increase. This is due to the fact that Rheuma is guaranteed to eliminate rheumatism or money back. It is a quick acting remedy, too. You do not have to wait a long time for results. Rheuma starts at once to act on the kidneys, liver, bowels and blood, and before 24 hours the poisonous uric acid, the chief cause of rheumatism, has begun to pass out of the body through the regular channels. It is also good for gout and neuralgia. One 50-cent bottle will prove to any rheumatic sufferer that Rheuma surely will cure rheumatism. Sold by B. F. Fendig and all druggists. Mrs. Fred Chilcote, of South Bend, came today on a surprise visit to her mother, Mrs. J. H. Kinney and many old friends. It is her first visit here for seven years and she notes many changes in the way of new dwellings and improved streets. She will be here over Sunday, spending part of her time with Mrs. Grant Warner, who is in quite poor health. I have 76 varieties of bedding plants and for porch boxes. The greenhouse is open for inspection at any time. — J. H. HOLDEN.

WALT MASON The Poet Philosopher.

I bought some rags of Tailor Skaggs, and paid him when I got ’em, he wept with glee, “For now,” said he, “I’ll pay my bills, dod rot ’em.” So on the run he took the mon, and paid .the corner grocer, whose trade was bad, and who was sad, because the wolf drew closer. This made him smile, and for a while the man of teas and sages, thought cheerful thinks, forgot the kinds, and paid his clerks their wages. And Billriam Burk, the old head clerk, put up some thankful phrases, his wife was ill—the druggist’s bill had worried him like blazes. The druggist cried, “Doggone your hide, I thank you for these rubles. I’m in the hole and need a role to ease my weight of troubles.” The druggist paid the winsome maid, his first assistant, Annie, and just for luck she blew a buck for roller skates for granny. And thus my scads brought help to lads and girls beyond the counting. Much trouble ceased, and joy increased, and kept on mounting, mounting. You see, my friend, if you should spend your coin with local dealers, you’re spreading glee and ecstasy to beat the sunshine spielers.

Persons are complaining about boys molesting flowers and indulging in vandalism by plucking and pullins them up. Boys are trespassing and subject to arrest when they do these annoying acts and they should be admonished by their parents that they must not go into the yards of others to pull flowers. So many are growing flowers now that there should be a pride, even among the younger boys, for a more beautiful Rensselaer, that would make them respect all who grow them too much to ever destroy a single one. We have another shipment of our famous Maxwell hair n£ts, 2 for sc. Also a superb 5c net. Burchard’s 5c & 10c Store. Willis Samuels, a progressive citizen who liyes 4 miles north of Remington, has treated about 300 feet of the north and south road past his residence with oil. The effect is excellent and it seems to us that either oil or tarvia might be used with economy. The tarvia experience in Rensselaer last year proved that where properly applied and that was by no means all over the city, it served as a great binder. Probably it is not the equal of oil as a dust preventative but it is much superior as a preservative. The repairs ex- » pense to our roads is something like $25,000 per year and teams are kept busy -all the time hauling rock to fill up chuck holes and auto tracks. The finely pulverized rock is blown into the adjacent fields and the heavy cans with chains scatter the fine rock and soon wear holes in the roads. The commissioners might profitably experiment with both oil and tarvia and possibly it would prove much cheaper than the continual rock repairs and make a vastly better road for all kinds of travel.

Freckle - Face Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots. How to Remove Easily.
