Comrade Fox has procured a mail wagon that is a decided improvement over the old rig he had and he is as proud as a boy with new boots. The latest equestrian addition, however, is hardly in keeping with the. buggy and unless Comrade uses a liberal ration of oats augmented by a little tonic we hardly expect “Boliver” to last through the fall weather. A dog belonging to Agent Beam is becoming a regular bum in the matter of rides. It will jump into almost any automobile and ride until invited out. One day recently it jumped on a southbound train and went to Monon and the same day returned on another train. He is a friend to every person and if he possesses any serious fault it is that of being a bit too familiar, although it is a very nice little dog and being a fox terrier, is about as nice a dog for a pet as one can possess.

Attorney J. A. Dunlap made a trip to the country a few days ago and at the home of Joe Kosta found a bull dog that could hardly be classified as tame enough to eat out of one’s hand, but with John he showed a willuigness to eat out of his trouser leg and he fastened his into John's right As a precaution against" rabies infection Mr. Dunlap had the wound cauterized, although there was no indication of hydrophobia about the dog, but surveihunce will be established and if the dog should later show signs of infection Mr. Dunlap will take the pasteur treatment. The is regarded by its owner as valuable as a watch dog and on this account was not killed at the time.

Editor Don’t Approve Our Court Yard Landscaping.

Several months ago the editor of! The Republican for the first time met 1 Editor Fred Wheeler, of the Lake County Star, published at Crown Point, and he and Homer Carr, of the Gary Tribune, asked how it happened that there were trees on only one side of the court house in this city. Jt seems that the two editors had visited Rensselaer at the same time and had commented on the fact that the west side of. the square was treeless and the east and south sides shaded by large maples. They were informed that they were in error, that they were evidently the influence of Kankakee river water, for there were trees on all sides of the

court yard. They were about half convinced that they were wrong and did not get entirely straightened out until after editor Carr made a visit here and personally put the question as to why the trees were only on the two sides.Old residents will remember that when the old courthouse stood on the square it was shaded on all sides and will recall that the town windmill stood on the northwest comer cf the square and was surrounded by great cottjnwood trees, which also covered the west side of the square. They will remember also the croquet ground nestled among the trees and remember the names and faces of the most constant players, which included Dr. I. B. Washburn, M. L. Spitler, Marsh Warner, Jack Warner, J. F. Irwin, David Thompson, Steward Hammond, John Waymire, and a number of the younger men. Of those named only Steward Hammond and Marsh Warner are still living. They had croquet down to a scientific standpoint and some of the better players had specially made mallets and balls and they took the game quite seriously. This little bit of history has nothing to do with the fact that the trees were removed from one side of the square but is simply a memory recalled by the old wind pump and the big cottonwood trees. When the new court house was built there was a discussion as to whether all the trees should be taken out or not and a number thought the court square should have no trees at all, while others wanted trees on all sides. Finally as a sort of compromise it was decided to take out the cottonwoodtrees, which wer-i all on the west side and the front. One large walnut tree was in the center of the square in front and had to be removed in order to build the broad concrete walk. The effect seems generally quite pleasing, although our artistic critics say that the square looks unbalanced. To we who live here, however, the fact is scarcely noticed and we are really of the opinion that the compromise was a good thing. The shade provides a pleasant lounging place on hot days and a nice place for basket dinners on Saturdays and other occasions when there are crowds in town, while the west and northwest sides afford a fine view of our very handsome court house and the green sward gives it all a very pretty setting. It is, however, a matter of taste and possibly from a strictly artistic standpoint it is a bit unbalanced. The appended paragraph is clipped from the current issue of The Lake County Star, Brother Wheeler’s paper: "Editor Geo. Healey, of the Rensselaer Republican attended the Harrison Club picnic at Cedar Lake, last Saturday, making the last lap of the trip with the Gary crowd, via Crown Point. Although Mr. Healey has lived in an adjoining county for many years it was his first visit in this city —and at that he only passed through at a fifteen-mile clip. He was considerably impressed with Crown Point as a thriving little city—and thinks we are almost equal to his home city—Rensselaer. Had he remained here any length of time he no doubt would have explained why the court yard square in his city has trees on one side only. In this respect, at least, Crown Point has it on the Jasper county metropolis.”

Big Doings Here Next Week.

In many of the eastern cities where the name of the Comeli-Price Players is a household words their coming to town is looked forward to as equal to the coming of one of the big circuses. The reason is plainly that they have never deceived or trifled with the public and have invariably given a big return for the money paid them. The attraction plays a special return date here at the Ellis theatre all next week and our people can look forward to a remarkable series of high class productions at the very low prices of 10, 20 and SO cents. “In the Bishop’s Carriage,” made famous by Blanche Walsh and endorsed by Ella Wheeler Wilcox and other critics, will be the first play, with the full strength of the company. Polite vaudeville between each act Splendid music and a complete scenic, electrical and mechanical equipment There will be no vacant seats and little standing room at the Ellis theatre next week. Seats are now on sale at the box office and as a special inducement for ‘Monday night, one lady will be admitted free with each paid reserved seat ticket if purchased before 6p. in. Phone 98.
