J. H. S. Ellis Recovering From Very Severe Illness.

Mrs. A. H. Hopkins, who went to Chicago to see her brother, James H. S. Ellis, who had been ill at the home of her son, Dr. John Ellis, returned Thursday evening. She found that Mr. Ellis had been a very sick man and that he is yet unable to sit up and will probably not be well enough to return home for some two weeks. His trouble was not influenza as had been thought probable by his sister before her visit there, but was articular rheumatism. He had been feeling draggy for several weeks and had been taking treatment in the city for his nose and this member had become quite seriously infected. It is probable that the rheumatic trouble was contracted when he made a trip through southern Illinois with the Willette Taylor stock company, as he came home feeling a little off color and did not get to feeling right at any time after. He is now over the worst part of his sickness unless complications set in and his many friends are hoping that he will soon be restored to health and able to return here.

Housekeeper For F. W. Bedford Secures Within $1,300 of Amount Asked in Suit Against Estate. The jury that heard the case of Sarah J. Norris vs. the estate of F. W. Bedford, of which C. W. Postill is the administrator, returned a verdict for $2,300 in her favor. She had sued for $3,600, alleging that although she had received wages during the several years she was employed there she had been promised by him that she would be provided for upon his death. Attorney George A. Williams appeared for the plaintiff and the estate was represented by Attorney Chas. M. Sands. Witnesses for the plaintiff testified that Mr. Bedford had promised to provide further for Mrs. Norris and it was shown that she had worked hard, performing a man’s work part of the time in addition to doing the household duties. McCurtain v. McCurtain. Plaintiff granted a divorce and is given the custody of her minor children and defendant required to pay the costs and $25 as attorney fees. Johnson v. Smalley, et al.

Tippecanoe County Farmer Failed to Bury Cholera Hogs.

A Tippecanoe county farmer named Joseph Wise is charged with failure to bury hogs that had died of cholera. Instead he threw a little straw over them and left them to rot. They were near a stream and the decomposed matter would be carried into the stream by a rain. Leonard E. Northrup, of Indianapolis, deputy state veterinarian, went to Lafayette and filed an affidavit, in a justice’s court charging Wise with violating a state law. Northrup visited the Wise farm and secured the information. He then filed the affidavit. The penalty is a fine of from $25 to SIOO, to Which may be added a jail sentence. Bury your dead hogs.

RENSSELAER,.INDIANA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1915.

KIRKLIN COMING FOR THANKSGIVING GAME

Team That Ranks High Among Clubs of the State to Be High School Rivals Next Thursday. Kirklin high school has been secured for a game here Thanksgiving for the football windup of 1915. An idea of the relative strength of the two teams may be had by comparing the Kirklin-Logansport and LogansportRensselaer scores. Kirklin lost to the Cass county champions 12 to 0, and Rensselaer was defeated 7 to 0; therefore if dope runs true to form the red and black have the edge. But then the bucket has been kicked over so much this year that the fans have lost all faith in dope and any upset on that day would simply be in keeping with the season. This game should attract a great deal of attention and a record Thanksgiving day crowd should be on hand. Another thing that should help to create unusual interest in this game is the fact that this will be the first meeting of any kind between the two schools. Kirklin has always been rated a top notch football town and has turned out several college stars. A Rensselaer football team has yet to finish below the 500 mark, and this should spur the locals to a superhuman effort to keep this record intact. Rensselaer has been going at a fifty-fifty pace this year, winning two and losing two. The squad is in good shape now, and the remainder of the time will be devoted to light practice. Coach Meyers deems it unwise to take any chances of injuring any of his men.

Purdue-Indiana Game to Be A Hard-Fought Contest.

Bloomington will be the scene of the great Purdue-Indiana game next Saturday and a special train from Lafayette will take about 1,500 rooters for Purdue. It is planned that some will go from Rensselaer. Indiana is planning for a great celebration in case of victory and has a brush pile 200 feet high which will be set off if they win. Purdue, on the other hand, is providing for a great celebration if they win the game and after their special returns to Lafayette they will engage in their night-gdwn parade of the down-town streets and be given a free show at the Family theatre. Last year the manager of the theatre refused to give the free show and the students almost wrecked the theater, threw eggs at the police and raised cain generally. There was talk this year of denying the free show, but a conference of the police, the mayor, the show manager and President Stone, of the University, decided to give the free performance in case The game will decide the state' championship and the “dope” indicates two very evenly matched teams.

When the Franklin man first came to Rensselaer he told the people that he would have then! all talking about his wonderful remedies. He has certainly kept his word, as nothing but praises havj? been said about this man who has taken this city by storm; in fact, the whole world talks about Franklin. The sale of his preparations has been enormous and many bottles of his medicine have been disposed of. His nightly lectures and concerts will continue nightly at the opera house. Everybody is invited to attend his concerts, as they are absolutely free to all, excepting Saturday night, when an admission of 10c and 15c is charged. It reminds one of a bargain day sale in a department store to witness the vast crowds of people who call at the Franklin office in the Kurrie block

MLLE. ZARA MAKES ANSWERS VERY SHORT

Declines to Reply to Many Quetsions and Places Limit of Inquiries to Two or Three. Mlle. Zara may prove a disappointment to those who have asked her questions, on account of the brevity of her answers. One inquisitive miss asked fourteen questions. She wantl ed to know about everything that was coming to her during the rest of her life and naturally touched a bit on love and her lover. She asked how old she was, where she lived, whether she had ever had her fortune told and whether the boy who meets her on Saturday nights cares far her. Madam Zara declined to make reply, because she said the questioner had asked trifling and silly questions and to these she will not reply. She places a limit of two or three questions in any letter that she answers. Another person also asks several questions, dealing largely with love. This , she did not reply to. One woman asks about a wayward boy, stating that of four children only one has caused her any trouble and she asks if he will be led to a better life. Madame Zara answers as foil lows: “By the good influence of his mother and some pure girl he will be reformed. Try Christian Science.” • Q. Will I become a good athlete? A.
