The sale will be in the new Castle Hall, first floor, and held on August 20, 21 and 22. Cooney Kellner and Herman Schultz have given notice that they will apply for saloon licenses in the first ward of Rensselaer. Mr. Schultz is a brother-in-law of August Rosenbaum, who was defeated by remonstrance in June and the latter is therefore disqualified for two years, and it is presumed that the saloon, if license be granted, will be run by “Rosey.” weather continnes too cold for good corn weather. The days are far from being hot and the nights are so cool that about two comforts are needed to keep one warmly covered in bed. Outside of the two first weeks in July, we have had no hot summer weather this Frost will have to delay his visit pretty late or the corn crop will be mighty slim all over the corn belt. The annual session of the Jasper County Teachers’ will be held at the court house in Rensselaer, beginning at 10 a. tn., Monday, August 31, and continuing five days. The instructors are L. M.

T*o‘ H. McCay, a son-in-law of Hiram Day’s, who at one time worked in the old Rensselaer laundry, has rented the west business room of the new row of buildings erected by John Makeever on East Washington street and is fitting it up for a laundryJfThis is something that has been in Rensselaer since the old laundry was destroyed by fire, and if Mr. McCay demonstrates that he can tarn oat gcod work he should be given the entire patronage of the city. The case of Geo. W. Tanner vs. Thomas Cain for an accounting of the proceeds of their joint or partnership “stand” at Fair Oaks, July 4th, was up in Squire Irwin’s court Tuesday afternoon. Cain swore that there had been a settlement in full and Tanner swore that there hadn’t. The court did not like to decide which one of the parties was most worthy of credence, and the case was continued until 10 o’clock next Monday for them to produce other evidence in the matter. discussion has been had the last few days over the action of the city council in ordering an ordinance drafted for a new brick street from Cnlien street to Division and thence north one block north of the depot. The general consensus of opinion is that the oity is in no financial condition at this time to make the improvement, and it is thought the matter will be pat over until next year. About one crossing would exhaust the city treasury, and taxes, owing to the executive ability displayed by this council, will be “out of sight” as It is. ’ Improvements are all right, bat they should come gradually and not be made burdensome. 5 PEB CENT LOANSWe can positively make yon a loan on better terms than yon can prooure elsewhere.

WALLACE SHOW WRECKED.

The Wallace shows met with the worst railroad wreck in the history of the shows at Durand, Mich., early last Friday morning. Twenty-four circus employes were killed and one elephant and two catnels. The wreck was caused by the second section funning into the first section which was standing on a siding. The second section bad been flagged and the danger lights on the rear of the first train could be seen for a long distance by the engineer of the second train had he been attending to business. He claimed that the air brakes refused to work, but an examination of them after the accident showed that they were in perfect condition, and that even had they refused to work the engineer bad plenty of time to stop his train before crashing into the first section. The engine of the second section plowed into the rear cars of the first section carrying death and deetrnction among the employes with which they were loaded and most of whom werff still asleep. The engineer and fireman escaped by jumping. The wreck caused the show to be laid up several days for repairs.

THE MOREY RAISED.

The Carnegie Library to Be Erected In Rensselaer. All the money necessary to buy the Moss site for the Carnegie public library building was raised last week, and the building is now assured. While the solicitors had much to contend with, they not only raised the necessary SI2OO, but over 1200 additional to the amount needed, which will be used in beautifying the grounds or for other purposes. .It is hoped to begin work on the building this year. The stockholders of the Jasper public library and the citizens of Rensselaer met in the east court room at 3 o’clock last Saturday, pursuant to a notice issued by the officers of the present library of said city. Simdn P. Thompson was elected president and Arthur H. Hopkins was elected as secretary of said meeting. * The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, that the stockholders of the Jasper Public Library do hereby approve and ratify the action of the managing board in donating to the public library board, on April IS, 1908, three hundred dollars worth of its books. Resolved, also, that the stockholders of the Jasper Public Library do approve and ratify the resolution of the Board of Directors, to transfer all the property of said library to the pnblic library when the building is completed on lots eleven (11) and twelve (18) in block seven (7) reserving to each stockholder the free use of said public library without farther security, and we authorize said board and trustee of Marion Township to omit any levy of tax for the year 1003, in favor of the Jasper Public Library. Resolved, that whereas, Andrew Carnegie, did on the 13th day of January, 1803, offer to the City of Rensselaer, ten thousand dollars, to be used in the erection of a library buildiug within said city, and whereas, the Rev. Clarence D. Royce, pastor of the M. E. church in our city, was instrumental in securing said offer, therefore, be it resolved, that we tender and extend to said Royce, our cordial thanks for his benificent services in securing’said offer.

Resolved, that we tender our cordial thanks to Jesse E. Wilson, for his successful offort in securing the passage of the statute under which we are enabled to comply with the conditions of the Carnegie gift of ten thousand dollars, and unite the township with the city in support thereof. Resolved that we thank the city council for requiring a site to be paid for and preserving Milroy and Westton Parks for the uses to which they were intended, by the donors. Resolved that we thank the Public Library Board, and each of its members for selecting lots eleven and twelve in block seven, Rensselaer, as a suitable site and we commend said site as central, accessable, commodious and the most suitable one in the city. Resolved, that we approved the resolution of the board of school trustees of the city of Rensselaer to merge the school library with the public library when its building shall have been completed, and thereby secure one library and one library tax in the city, Resolved, that it is the sense of this meetingthat we highly appreciate the action of the stockholders of the Jasper Public Library in consenting to turn over all books and library property belonging to them, to the new Carnegie Library when the same shall be built and ready for occupancy; that we thank all the individuals who have assisted to bring the Jasper Public Libtary to its present standard of excellence at the least cost to tbe tax payers; that we especially thank tbe directors, for their untiring efforts in keeping the library open to the inhabitants of Rensselaer, and Marion township, andtote feel that it is due to them, that the people have enjoyed tbe advantages of tbe splendid selection of books and current literature to be found on the shelves. They have served without compensation, and have performed alt of the duties required of them with cheerful patience, and we offer these words as a slight token of the appreciation we feel for their faithful services. Resolved, by the inhabitants of the city of Rensselaer, in mass convention assembled, that we express our heartfelt thanks to Andrew Carnegie for his gift of ten thousand dolligs, offered on January 13, 1003, and we rejoice that the city has been able to comply with all the conditions appended to said gift and we hope with said gift wisely used to secure the best possible home fora permanent library in said City. "Be it Resolved, that the thanks of the citizens of the City of Rensselaer and tbe township of Marion, be tendered to the Grand Army of the Repnblie and to the Daughters of the American Revolution as well as to all who have donated books or other articles of value to the Jasper Public Library, aDd also to those who have assisted in the management of said library by raising funds or by donating their sendees In order that the library might be kept open to the public; also be it Resolved, that in our opinion it is wise to accept the gift of Andrew Carnegie, on tbe conditions named by him, and that the city and township should join in levying a tax of not leaa than ten per cent of said gift, each year to equip and maintain a library in tbe bnikling erected with Mr. Carnegie's money,

Resolved that we return our thanks to all who contributed and subscribed money to buy the library site and we ask that their names be incorporated in this resolution without designating the amount given by any one and that such names be printed in nil tbe public newspapers of this city and that said newspapers be placed in tbe comer stone of tbe library building and in the scrap books of tbe inhabitants as worthy of remembrance. Whereas, it is come to our notice, that a library without books is a failure, and that a library building is bat a shell, into which is placed a kernel, books; therefore, be it resolved. that we express our thanks to those who have contributed to buy book* for the new library and to those who will hereafter so contribute to tbe new library before the dedication thereof. Resolved, that we appoint as a building committee to act with tbe library board in selecting an architect, plans for butlding, letting contract and directing the construction, tbe followlhg named persons, to srit; George H. Maleea, from tbe third ward; Delos Thompson from tbe second ward and Jesse E.

Resolved, that in onr opinion the advisory board for the township of Marion and the

Trustee thereof, should levy a tax of one-fflOk of one mill on the dollar, of all the taxable property In aald Township in favor of the new public library for tbie year. On motion these proceedings were requested to be published ea e part of the history of the city in all the newspapers published herein. Simon P. Thompson, President. Arthur H. Hopkins, Secretary.

FLY TIME.

A Valuable Extract From The Gazette. This year fortunately, the fly seasom is belated bnt for the next two month* and perhaps even longer, the pest wfll work bavoe with the herds mod flocks. Few stockmen realize their anmud losses from this source. Some yean ago a railway in Wisconsin noticed that its receipts for shipment of dairy products were not what they should be. A special agent was directed to look into the matter, and he reported, as a result of careful investigations, that the unusual shrinkage was dm to flies. No wonder the dairy cow does poorly in August and September; the beef making steer shows little or no gains, while a calf running at large shows the ill-treatment it is receiving by ite starving coat poorly hiding its too prominent bony frame. The greatest suffering these animals ever experience, is daring the sammer when at pasture. What is the remedy? The numerous preparations applied by spray to the hair of animals give temporary relief and should «ertainly be used when at all practicable. The work horses and the driving horses can be almost wholly protected by daily use of these sprayed applications and at milking time immunity from the unspeakable soul trying nuisance of fly-bitten cows, may be cheaply secured. The protection it gives is worth more than it costs. A peaceful milking free from the profanity provoking switch of the tail and npset of the backet, is worth aU it costs in time and labor to spray a dairy herd with a fly repellant, and the farmer or showman who does not use this means of protection whenever possible is neglecting a means of grace and proflt. By all means keep the thin skinned calves away from the pestering flies. Of all farm, creatures, calves suffer most from flies. WHAT IT COSTS YOU TO FEED THE FLIES. In dairy districts flies often cut off milk receipts of the dairies 20 to 4ft per cent. Fattening steers lose on® pint of blood -per day and make no gain. Use Spragues Fly Bouncer.
