ELECTRICAL GARAGE READY FOR BUSINESS

K. T. Rhoades & Co. Erect Good Building snd Will Handle Electrical Supplies Solely. A concrete block garage 36x40 feet in dimensions, with a stock room and workshop in one comer, roorb for the storage of eight oars and equipped with everything needed in a first-class electrical plant has been completed by K. T. Rhoades & Co., on Cornelia St., just west of the Hamitlon & Kellner office and in the rear of the residence property, of C. W. Rhoades, who is the junior member of the firm of K. T. Rhoades & Co. The garage will not be a general auto repair shop but will confine its attention to electrical appliances, such as starters, magnetos, generators, storage batteries, etc. It will be the station for the Willard storage batteries which are used in 95 per cent of all cars manufactured. This company has been engaged in the electrical business for several years and the business has grown from a very small one to one of the important businesses of this city and with the development of the motor business the firm has naturally drifted to some'extent into that class of work, although they are giving especial attention to wiring and supplying electric light fixtures. It is their intention not to let any electrical concern in the country hSLve it on them and to carry a large line and to meet every requirement of the business as time progresses.

Look After This Now If You Know of Unmarked Grave.

The local Grand Army Post wants to have the grave o fevery soldier in Jasper county marked and will see that it is done if given the information will get the stones and they will be properly inscribed. It is necessary to have this looked after ait once and either Commander D. H. Yeoman or Adjutant Henry Wood or any member of the post will receive the information if any person will telephone them. It is necessary to state where the grave it, the correct name of the soldir and his Tegiment and. if possible the company to which he ’pelonged. The government furnishes the stones but the potft has no record of the soldiers and must depend upon getting this information from those who know the circumstances.

Editor 'Bartoo found it necessary this week to print four extra pages in order to accommodate the advertising of Remington merchants. The C. H. Peck and Hicks Dry Goods stores eacn had page ads, The Model ash Storfe had two quarter page ads, Peck’s drugsxore had a three column ad, the Remington Farmers’ elevator, the Townsend drugstore, Merritt's grocery, thO-State Bank, C. B. Johnston & Co., and others were represented. There is nothing shows a town off to better advantage than a lot of live newspaper ads and Brother Bartoo is to be congratulated on securing the fine result he has in this respect. Hilda Kilgas, a 16-year-old girl living near Reynolds, was attacked 'by an unidentified man and had a difficult time in driving him away. The girl was in a buggy and her 11-year-old brother was with her. They had been visitihg at the l\ome of August Reumler and started home at about 9:45 in the evening. They were only about a quarter of a mile from the corporation line when a man stepped out into the road and grabbed the horse. The man then jumped into the buggy and put his arms about the girl and choked her. Her little brother took a hand on behalf of his sister and while tuggin gat one arm of the man also kicked him on the shins. The girl succeeded in freeing herself and ran down the road. The man jumped from the 'buggy and the boy whipped up the horse and drove back to Reynolds and secured the services .of Mr. Reumler and others and hastened back to the spot. The girl had secured a club and prepared to defend herself but the man did not again attack her but ran through a corn field and made his escape. - No trace of him could be found.

CHILD FOUND IN FIELD NEAR REMINGTON

Baby Boy Found In Cornfield But No Clew Is Found As to Whom Parents May Be. Word came from Remington this Friday noon that a year and a half old bahy •boy had ibeen found in the cornfield of John Kelly, of near that city this morning. The alarm was spread throughout the surrounding country but up until noon the parents of the child had not been found and it was decided to inform the neighboring towns. No plausible reason has been advanced as to the cause of the child being alone in the cornfield and since no one has yet claimed the child a fear is entertained that the bahy had been left there by some one passing through in an automobile, wishing to 'be relieved of the responsibility of caring for the child. Mrs. Kelly will take caa-e of the little fellow until the whereabouts of ihis parents have been learned. LATER—It has been learned that the baby boy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tweedy, who live near the Chautauqua grounds a shotr distance north of Rensselaer. The little fellow is reported to have wandered as far as two miles from his home before being found in a cornfield.

The prairie chicken law expired today and for the first time in five years it is legal to kill this .game. Hunters from all over the state are out with guns today trying to get a mess of this fine wild meat. Rensselaer hunters turned out en masse at an early hour this morning.

WEATHER. Probably cloudy tonight and Saturday.

HAIR AND SCALP NEED DAILY CARE

Beautiful Hair Is Within the Reach of All. If you value the appearance of your hair you should treat the scalp as often and well as you brush your teeth and rub into the scalp pores twice daily a little Parisian Sage. This treatment is not a mere “hair tonic.” It is bottled nourishment for the hair roots and it is simply wonderful what an improvement its use so reven a week will make in the appearance of anyone’s hair. It never injures, is delightfully cool and pleasant to the scalp and takes out the dull, lifeless look in the hair, making it soft, fluffy, glossy and beautiful. Two or three applications remove every trace of dandruff, and daily use*will prevent its return. B. F. Fendig and the leading druggists everywhere can fuxnidh you with Parisian Sage—it coats but a trifle.

Rensselaer Facing Hard Contest In Hammond Game Tomorrow.

When the whistle sounds tomorrow afternoon at the opening of the Ham-mcnd-Rensselaer football game, the locals will .be facing the stifPeSt aggregation of pigskinners they will have to face this season. Hammond has been deefating everything they have met in the Lake county region and also several high class Chicago teams. The Hammond times, in commenting on the coming game, says: “The high school team goes to Rensselaer this coming Saturday. No line on the ability of the latter has been learned here, but Rensselaer has been able to put up on the field every year a strong opponent for Hammond, so that the exact outcome of (the game is hard to predict. The team is working hard to perfect all the weak spots and coaches feel that if the team comes up to expectation the chances of victory over the down state team ■are good.” f Coach Meyers has driven the local squad at a hard pace all week and made a few changes in spots which were weak last Saturday, and Rensselaer may be expected to put up a better game than they did against Kentland last Saturday.

Canvassers Make 100 Per Cent On Everything They Sell.

Rensselaer has been full of canvassers during the past few days taking orders for this and that, and they should be promptly turned down and not allowed in the homes of the citizens of the city. The business should be given to the home merchants who are here to back up the goods should they he faulty in any respect. Considerable snealk thieivng is now going on over the country and many of the agents may be calling at the homes to size up the premises and it is safe to watch all strangers. It was reported last week that an agent was in Crown 'Point taking orders for women’s dress skirts, and the fellow informed a certain lady that it would be necessary to leasure her limb between the ankle and knee to get a perfect fit, which is a new wrinkle in measurements. The fellow, according to report, was ordered out of the house. Can it be that he was in search of a stray five dollar bill that might have 'been hidden where women usually carry their spare change? It is a good plan to give the stranger who has something to sell a very wide berth and patronize the home merchant. ,

Mr. and Mrs. Beam have a host of friends who will join us in wishing them a long life of happiness and prosperity.

Hebron’s New Waterworks Well Condemned by Authorities.

Hebron recently finished putting in a system of waterworks, the supply coming from a deep well, and the water has just been condemned by the authorities of the state laboratory, for the reason that it contains a large per cenj of chlorine, which, according to the report, makes it unfit for consumption, and is said to be caused by more or less gas which was found in the hole when the drilling was being done. At one time when the drillers were working the gas was so strong that it became ignited in the building and the explosion badly injured three persons. Chlorine, according to (the authorities, is one of the elementary substances commonly isolated as a greenish yellow gas two and a half times as heavy as air, of an intensely suffocating odor, and exceedingly poisonous.
