“She Certainly Will Appreciate It; She Certainly Will.” Have you read “The Southern Maiden’s Reply?” It is a touching little love poem by Mr. Charles Frederick Stansbury, now going the rounds. x Under the magnolias the youth is telling his love in language hot as lava from Vesuvius. He speaks thoughts that breathe in words that burn to the extent of about thirty lines of verse. “And this ia what the maiden said— Her words were choice and few: ‘I certainly do appreciate it; ‘ I certainly do.’” One of the things that women certainly do appreciate —they certainly do—is a full page advertisement of bargains in a store near enough for them to visit. In the big I ] cities such pages ap- fl pear daily. Why? Be- JI cause the merchants i know that the women H|K2H|r appreciate it. They certainly do know it. t||SflKSi V. 1 ■ All women are very ' k • W appreciative in the mat- >' W ■ ter of shopping bar- - gains. They are so ap- \ preciative that they V.\ X* make mental note of the - / j \ y® things they want, as ad- - J \ Y 1 vertised. and make a \ \ bee line for the store L"" ‘ ? dfl \ \ that keeps those things ; . ; j| on hand and lets them | know about it. If the merchants in the smaller cities and ■ /' \| towns—this one, for instance—would do more of this kind of advertising, the women Certainly would appreciate it; they certainly would. AND THE MERCHANTS CERTAINLY WOULD BE BENE- • FITED; THEY CERTAINLY WOULD.

WALKER TP. DRIES UP.

The anti-saloon people of Walker tp. decided not to wait until November to file their remonstrance, as they had 90 signers—a majority of 29—and yesterday the remonstrance was filed with the auditor. This insures Walker in the “dry” belt for at least two years, and leaves Kankakee as the only “oasis” in the county, with a practically sure prospect of it, too, drying up at the proper time, on the expiration of the. present license next march.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

A complete birthday surprise .was perpetrated on our worthy townsman Mr. Alex Leach, last Sunday, the occasion being his 66th birthday anniversary. His good wife, aided and abetted by tbe children, planned and carried to a successful conclusion the surprise. ' About fifty-six relatives, friends and neighbor! were in attendance, including all their children except one son who is in Oklahoma, and Everett Leach who is working in Hammond and was unable to feet away that day. A fine dinner was spread and a general good time enjoyed by all.

CONTINUED BAD WEATHER.

This has certainly been a wet season in this section of the country. Not a week has passed in the last three months without rain, and usually we have had two or three rains. They have been heavy rains usually, too, and it is a wonder that as good crops have been raised as we have. The % season has been generally wet the country ov-‘ er.it seems, except eastern states, where it has been the reverse. Northwestern Indiana makes a rather bad showing wet seasons, but with a dry one, or even medium dry, and we oan produce crops that make other sections look like thirty cents.

“STONER PROPERTY SOLD.

/Mr. John H. Holden of Chicago has closed a contract for the D. A. Stoner residence and some ten acres of land at the northwest side of town, and will move here and engage in the poultry raising business on an ' extensive scale. The price was $5,000. The A. Halleck family who have been occupying the property will move into the J. T. Sayler property on Front street, now owned by A. Leopold. Mr. Holden expects to move in a few weeks, by November first.

A VERY CLOSE CALL.

Mrs. Mary E. Lowe, and brother Chas. Bussell of Hanging Grove tp., returned Monday from a business trip to Wisconsin. They were in a railroad wreck on the C. M. & St. P. Ry., near Forest Junction Sunday morning at about one o’clock in Which the fireman on the passenger train was scalded to death and the engineer was so badly injured that his death was expected. Their train ran into the rear end of a freight, killing the rear brakeman and smashing up freight and passenger cars considerably. Mr. Bussell and Mrs. Lowe were in the fifth boach back and escaped with a few bruises, although the passengers in the forward cars were all more or less bruised and injured. The. rear brakeman was asleep in the caboose and had failed to go back and flag the passenger, hence the wreck.

NOT MANY BUYERS FOR NOTES AND OVERDRAFTS

The sale of the uncollected notes and overdrafts of the defunct McCoy sheepskin bank did not draw many bujers Saturday. Perhaps one reason for the lack of purchasers or curiosity seekers, even, was the report that seemed to have been generally circulated .about that the paper was not to be auctioned off, but that anyone desiftng could file a bid and if no one else raised it—privately, of course—and it was accepted by the referee, he would get the paper he bid on. At any rate there were few people about and only one note or set of notes were sold. These were notes of Hartley Bros., former grain dealers at Remington, and were all given in 1897. The face of the notes was about $1,500, and they were knocked off to John Hudson of northwest Carpenter township for $25. The “Bill” Rinehart notes, overdraft and protested draft aggregating over $7,000 received three bids —lO cents from Mose Tuteur, $5 from R. D. Thompson, and SSO from A. H. Hopkins. • The matter of accepting the latter bid was taken under advisement. ' The trustee soon after announced that he would adjourn the sale but would receive bids at any time at bis office. Other claims advertised that have since been s ttled are: Chas. Murray note of $l5O and overdraft of $75. Paid in full. Geo. W. Tanner note of $70.20 with Geo. Strickfaden and Conrad Kellner sureties, Paid. - A. Rosenbaum, overdraft of $1.04. Paid. H. Hildebrand, $87.29, balance on note. Paid. D. J. Warner note of $25 with Geo. Goff as surety. Settled for $lO. Warner did some painfing for Tom, it is alleged, sufficient to cover this, but the note was not taken up nor the amount credited thereon. Vance Collins, noth, S3O; settled. D. L. McCashen, note $8; settled. Later:—A bunch of notes at the head of the list, some 12 in number, have since been sold to A. H. Hopkins for S4O, and practically all the other notes and overdrafts except those of J. F. Irwin and W. A> Rinehart have been sold to F. B. Ham and Warren Robinson at $55; subject to acceptance of the referee. Bids have been received on the other unsold claims but have not been accepted as yet.

THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. Commissioners’ court and the county board of education will meet Monday. Nine marriage licenses were issued last month against eight for the previous month and eleven for September, 1906. —o—— Superintendent Geo. B. Switzer sold the construction of the Honan ditch, in Barkley tp., Wednesday to Horace Daniels of Barkley, at the estimate, f 1,920. ■ —o— Squire Irwin caught five of the nine Jasper county marriages for last month. The Squire’s style of marriage ceremony seems to be growing in popularity. The Lawler-Thompson highway case will likely go to the supreme court. The question of jurisdiction of the cirduit court in the matter after it had been dismissed by the county commissioners on the report of the reviewers, that it was not of public utility, being the principal grounds for appeal. —o — Marriage licenses issued: Sept. 30, Clyde Madison Burris of Hanging Grove tp., aged 21, occupation farmer, to Dora Ellen Price of Barkley tp., aged 16, occupation housekeeper. First marriage for each. Sept. 30, J a cob T. N anningo of Demotte, aged 41, occupation farmer, to Tryntje Ettema, of Roselawn, aged 34, occupation housekeeper. First marriage for male, second marriage for female, first husband having died March. 24, 1906.

—° — New suits filed: No. 7216, The 'Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railway Co., vs. John Thornton as justice of the peace; action in mandate. This case grows out of an action brought by J. H, Cox, the mews and fruit dealer, for damages resulting from delay in delivering and shortage on fruit shipments, in which he recovered judgment for some sl9 in Squire Thornton’s court. Defendant stated that they would appeal to the circuit court but the squire was out of town for some days but returned two days before date for filing appeal bond had expired, we understand. Defendants attorneys left their appeal bond at Mose Leopold’s office, where the Squire’s docket happened to be during the few days he was away, and he did not get the docket until after the date for filing bond had expired. He refuses to-accept said bond on account of such delay in filing, hence the suit. Later: —Judge Hanley refused Thursday to issue the mandate, and the railroad company must dig up.

—o — —.— This is the last week of the September term of tbe Jasper circuit court. Tbe jury was excused for the term last Friday, after hearing only three or four oases during the entire term.

Cover ditch was referred to drainage commissioners, and John E. Alter appointed special drainage commissioner, to meet at source of ditch Oct. 14 and report first day of November term. The Nickoli Rasmussen ditch; same order made. Chas. R. Peregrine appointed to act with other commissioners, to meet Oct. 21 at source of ditch and report as above. t The Marble and Grover Smith ditch matters occupied some attention the first of the week. In the former 726 names to the remonstrance were filed—slß from Porter county, 43 from Lake county, 11 from Newton county and 154 from Jasper county. Of this number the petitioners succeeded in getting 23 withdrawals, leaving 703 remonstrators. This is not the necessary two-thirds, we understand, but the validity of the proceedings will be attacked, it is understood. One of the grounds is that the proceedings shall be commenced in the county having the most mileage, and it is claimed that Porter county has the most. The Grover Smith ditch was also remonstrated against and the “count of noses” was to be taken up yesterday.

SADDLE TURNED, BOY WAS KILLED

Sad Death of Eleven-Year-Old Son off fir. and Hrs. A. O. Moore off Barkley Tp, Walter Moore, the eleven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Moore of Barkley tp.. died at 2 a. m., last Sunday from injuries received while out horseback riding at about the same hour the afternoon before. The sons of JSd Randle and W. F, Smith of Rensselaer were guests of the Moore boy Saturday and he treated them to a horseback ride. They were galloping along at a moderate speed and in riding into the farm yard at Tom Walter’s the saddle girt on Walter’s horse loosened /ind allowed the saddle to turn with the boy. He was thrown from the horse and his head struck the gate post, fracturing the skull of the forehead and rendering him unconscious, in which condition he remained until 2 a. m. Sunday, when he died. Medical attention was given as soon as possible, but it was of no avail. The funeral was held from the M. E. church Tuesday forenoon and was one of the largest funerals ever held in Rensselaer, the friends and neighbors turning out in large numbers to show their sympathy to the bereaved parents. Interment was made in Weston cemetery. The boy was the second of two children born to Mr. and Mrs. Moore, and the elder son having married a year or more ago now leaves them all alone. His sad and sudden taking off is a very hard blow to his parents, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement.

Walter Moore, son of Austin O. and Mahala Moore, was born in Jasper county, Ind., August 1, 1896, and died September 29,1907, age 11 years, 1 month and 29 days. The cause of his death was being thrown from a horse, his head striking a post, causing concussionjand hemorrhage of the brain, from which he died in eleven hours after the accident. He received prompt attention by his parents and two physicians and neighbors, and all was done that loying hearts and kind hands could do, but of no avail, and the death angel claimed him. He leaves a father, mother, an aged grand-father, and one brother, Ralph Moore and wife Ethel, who reside near the parental home, and many relatives and friends. Walter was a dutiful, kind and obedient son. He was a good boy, highly respected and loved by his school and playmates. It was only to know him to love and respect him. His parents and many relatives and friends are bowed down and their hearts are filled with sorrow and sadness on account of his untimely and sudden death. Yet, weep not as those who have no hope; but look by an eye of faith woen they shall be permitted to greet him on that beautiful elysian plain where parting will be no more. “When the shepherds wish to lead their flock Into new pasture fresh and fair, They carry one lamb o'er the bars. And all the others follow there, The fate of the first one to share. "So the great Shepherd from onr fold Picked out the best loved lamb of all, Gathered him close with tender arms. And bore him safe within the wall, Sure we would heed his gentle call. “We see afar his beckoning hand. We see the love light in bis eyes, And so gain courage to press on, —r~To share with him that matchless prize, The blossoming fields of Paradise.”

CARD OF THANKS. We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors for the many words of sympathy and their acta of kindness in our great bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Moore.
