Sox Down Macks, and Draw Closer to Detroit.

By a ninth inning rally against the lowly Maekmen from Philadelphia Tuesday, the White Sox advanced to within a half a game of Detroit, who were defeated by the leading Red Sox. At the start of the ninth inning the fiose were two runs to. the bad and a defeat meant the loss of their pennant hopes. Capt. Eddie Collins doubled with the bags populated, scoring the deciding runs and sending Chicago to the front. Detroit was defeated by Boston 3 to 1 in a game that abounded with thrills. The Bengals were unable to solve the delivery of Mays. A win for the White Sox and Detroit will place the three teams practically back on even footing. The standing today is: W L Pct Boston 82 59 582 Detroit 83 62 572 ChicagQ ...... •. t 82.. 62 56SL

Shortly after Thanksgiving a banquet will be given by the lodge for the new members.

New Suit Filed.

RENSSELAER,. INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1916.

MRS. C. R. McFARLAND IS SENTENCED

Wife of Former Jasper Court Reporter Given Six Months in Women’s Prison In Indianapolis. A few weeks ago The Republican contained an account of the arrest of Mrs. C. R. McFarland, of Chicago, on a charge of being an accomplice of Carroll Allen, who stole a fur collar valued at $35 at the H. P. Wasson store in Indianapolis. Mrs. McFaralnd is the wife of the former reporter for the Jasper-Newton court. Mrs. McFarland was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the women's prison at Indianapolis. The following article was taken from a recent edition of the Indianapolis News: “Carroll Allen, a young woman accused of stealing a fur collar valued at $35 at the H. P. Wasson & Co. store, apparently tried to shield Margaret Heath, accused jointly with Miss Allen, but failed to convince Judge James A. Collins, in the criminal court, that the girl had nothing to' do with the theft. Each was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to the correctional department of the women’s prison for six months. “After the theft was committed the Heath girl went to Chicago and was married to C. R. McFarland, a dentist. It appeared for this reason the Allen girl wished to absolve her friend from blame. The girls were together, however, when the collar was stolen and the court said in his opinion one of the girls was engaged in conversation with the clerk, while the other took the collar. “McFarland came from Chicago with his wife when she was arrested a short time ago. He was called as witness in her behalf. McFarland walked to the jail with his wife.”

NOTICE. After Qct. 1, 1916, my office days will be as follows: Rensselaer: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wheatfield: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. P. R. BLUE, Law Abstracts Loans

Miss Cecil Morgan and Mr. Wallace Miller to Be Married Saturday.

Miss Cecil Miller, daughter of G. L. Morgan, will be married Saturday of this W3ek at Chicago to Mr. Wallace Miller. They will reside in Chicago. Mr. Miller was formerly employed by B. Forsythe of tins citi’ as a clerk in his department store and is well known in this vicinity. He has been employed for the past few years by a Chicago firm. Miss Morgan has been employed for some time in Dr. Johnson’s office and is one of Rensselaer’s popular young ladies. Miss Charlotte Kanne will take the position vacated by Miss Morgan at Dr. Johnson’s office. Several social functit ns are being held this week in honor of Miss Morgan. Mrs. Wm. Barkley gave a shower for the bride-tc-be Tuesday at her home in Barkley township.

Wrestling Card at the Ellis Theatre This Evening.

The open wrestling bouts of the season will be staged at the Ellis theatre this evening immediately after the band concert. Everett Marlin, who showed considerable class as a mat artist last winter, will wrestle Vic Michaels, best two falls out of three. Marlin and Michaels wrestled two hours to a draw last winter, the bout being stopped at midnight, on account of the next day being Sunday. The second bout of the evening will be between Allen Cook, who has never v’restled here before, and Fred Hall, of Morocco, who last spring threw Johnny Billeter, of Toledo-the world’s lightweight champ at that time, and by victory over Billeter, Hall claims the championship of the world in his weight. Hall is undoubtedly a very clever mat artist and it will take a mighty good man to throw him.

Jasper County Democrats Opened Campaign Today.

The democratic campaign in Jasper county opened today by an address by Hon. William Zoercher, reporter of the Indiana supreme court, at the court house this Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Mr. Zoercher will speak at Remington this evening, and Thursday he will speak at DeMotte and Wheatfield.

NEW FACTORY TO OPEN HERE SOON

Columbia Furniture Co., of Chicago, to Come Here—Reduction Plant Also to Open. It appears that afier years of patient waiting Rensselaer ia to be the home of a factory. Rensselaer has had her ups and downs on the factory game for a great many years, much to her chagrin and sorrow in some cases. No pne will ever forget the match factory that Rensselaer attempted to put in operation here a few years ago, and with the outcome of this venture Rensselaer soured on factories and it remained for two Rensselaer citizens and a Remington doctor to again put Rensselaer in the factory limelight. J. W. Loy, of Piqua, Ohio, and brother, Dr. E. N. Loy, of Rensselaer, and Dr. Emil Besser, -of Remington, arc the men who have taken hold of a new concern in this city. G. W. Loy, however, will take no active interest in it from now on. In The Republican of April 25 last, there was an article relative to the starting of a reductio. plant in Rensselaer. Since that time the three gentlemen mentioned above have been active in getting such a plant ready for operatic n. Drs. Loy and Besser and J. W. Loy paid off the mechanics lieu against the factory buildihg, amounting to about $1,500. The building lad a'so suffered much damage from tramps, who had nu de it their rendezvous, and a great deal of work has been required to put the buildings in shape for occupancy. The smaller of the two buildings was to be used for the reduction plant. The larger building was to be closed up until some satisfactory conc< m could be found to occupy it. In this the promoters were successful. Drs. Loy and Besser have secured a furniture factory from Chicago for the larger building. The concern in question has outgrown its Chicago quarters and Drs. Loy and Besser induced- them to come to this city. The furniture company manufactures upholstered furniture, such as chairs and couches, and as soon as the neces-

Warren T. McCray Assures All Of Good Time Rally Day.

A letter received from Warren T. McCray today by The Republican, states that all who attend the republican rally day next week at the Cabin woods are assured of a day of solid enjoyment. Mr. McCray states that Warren T. Harding, of Ohio, will positively be there on that date, as well as James E. Watson and the state candidates. Day fireworks will epen the progiam at ’0 a. m., and the speaking will commence at 10:30. Senator Harding will be the morning speaker. There will be plenty of music throughout the day. Mr. McCray adds that he is looking forward to the pleasure of seeing all Jasper republicans on hand this day.

'Fhe Rowles and Slight Stone Road Bonds Sold. The Slight and Rowles issue of stone road bonds were sold by the county treasurer this afternoon to the Fletvher American National Bank* of Indianapoils. The Rowles issue of $5,600 brought premium of $89.65, and the Slight, issue of $7,600 sold at a premium of $122.25. Fall is here, winter is coming. Now is the time to Hamillize your clothes buying.—Hilliard & Hamill. All dollar orders for coal and wood are delivered for cash only. HAMILTON & KELLNER.

saty machinery is installed it is their kiention to do all their work here. A visit to the factory disclosed the fact that about one-third of the ground floor of the larger building had been covered with a wood floor, and the balance, we are informed, will be covered as soon as possible. The work on the floors that has already been completed will permit the work to start at once. Already a carload of furniture in the knocked down stage has been received and the workmen will start to work next Monday morning. Machinery has also been installed for the making of couches and chairs to be produced from the raw lumber, and Dr. Loy states that the company # now has advance orders enough to keep the plant running for the next three or four months to. come, and that additional orders are coming in all the time. In the operation of this plant at the start about twenty-five skilled men are to be employed, who will move here from Chicago with their families. It is the intention, however, to use as much local labor as is possible and the company desires young men for apprenticeship. This is one of the most commendable features of the new concern—the employing of home talent wherever possible. The company will use electric power and the expense of extending the line out to the plant will be borne by tliem. It is also necessary to install a heating system and with other machinery to put in, it may be readily seen that a good sum of money must be invested in putting the plant in working operation. The building, as stated before, is in a very badly run down condition, due to the depredations committed by tramps and loafers and this will also incur considerable expense. Every window pane in the buildings have been broken out, and this alone calls for a considerable amount. The company wishes it known that the manufacture of these chairs and couches is not an experiment, but that the firm which will make them has been in business for several years arttl are thoroughly competent and a reliable concern. In the face of such obstacles aa promoters Loy and Besser have been forced to overcome, they are entitled to a great deal of credit for going along single-handed without any outside help and doing something the entire community was unable to accomplish some years ago, and the best wishes of everyone in the city and county should be extended to them for their success in this new venture. The work on the reduction plant, which was the first thing undertaken bv Messrs. Loy and Besser, has been ht a standstill for some time owing to their inability to get the machinery required for operating such a plant. The work for the reduction plant is now going on, however. This plant, as stated before, will occupy the smaller building and will bo independent of the furniture factory. A reduction plant is a method whereby all animal carcasses ureusod for tankage and fertilizer. .*"s® are many plants of this kind m the country, the -closest one to Rensselaer being at Lowell. The plan, is to gather the carcasses of take them to the plant in tightly sealed tanks and there to put them through a process that ihakes the tankage stock feed and fertilizer. The animals which die will be gathered up without expense to the owner, who in most cases would sooner give them away than to bury them. - ’ Here’s to Rensselaer’s new factory, may it live and prosper.
