THE CLASS OF ’95

Graduated In Due Form Last Thursday Night. The Thirteenth annual commencement of the Rensselaer High School was held last Thursday night, at Ellis Opera House. And the names of eleven more promising young men and women were added to the now quite notably large list of alumni of the school. A very large and very respectable and attentive audience was present, and the net proceeds of the small admission fee, will leave a surplus of SSO or S6O for the school library. The stage was very handsomely decorated with flowers and drapery. The various subjects treated by the graduates in their themes, were distinguished by their common-sense character, and the thorough and thdnghtful manner in which they were treated, was a conclusive evidence of the excellence of their school training. All of the essays and orations were very creditable productions, and some of them of most marked ability.

Earnest Wishard was first on the His subject was the recent war between China and Japan. Miss Letta Kohler came next, her essay being upon the subject, “Value of a High School Education.” “Geometry as a Trainer of the Reason” by W. H. Parkison. “The Character of Napoleon” by H. A. Flynn. “Examples of Great Lives” by Miss Flora Harrison. “Riley and Bums,” by George Collins. “The Quaker Poet,” by Miss Orrie V. Clark. “Why Study Latin,” by Miss Fannie McCarthy. “The Young Man in Politics,” by Roy Blue. “Developement of the English Language,” by Miss Pearl Wasson. “The Paradox of Large Cities,” by Berl Richardson. Were the subjects of the others, in the order of their delivery. Excellent music for the occasion was furnished by the Citizens’ Cornet Band; and a solo by Mrs. ,and a quartette by Miss Flora Whsrton, Dr. H. L. Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. Paradis. M. F. Chilcote, Esq. President of the School Board, presented the diplomas.

A Base Ball Club.

Rensselaer is to have a good ball club this season. Already seven players are signed: Bradley of Louisville and Gagen of Chicago, pitchers or out fieldera; Bender of Peru 2nd base; Moore of Chicago 3rd base; Tharp, Ist base; Reynolds, centerfield; Crocket, left-field and catcher. The last three named are home boys. Jackson, of Chicago, who has been released by Rockford will probably be secured as catcher. Ground has been leased from Warren Robinson, near the railroad crossing east of town and a fine sew park is being made. The opening game will probably be with the crack Lowell club, our old opponents of last year. B. F. Ferguson sells the best wagon ou the market for the money. Call and see.

Randle went to lowa yesterday, for a visit with relatives. A very agreeable drop in the temperature occured Tuesday afternoon. The thermometer fell 20 degrees within an hour. On account of attending Conference Rev. L. E. Conner will not hot preach here next Sunday. Local showers were numerous Monday and Tuesday, and many parts of this county were well rained on. Rensselaer was not one of the favored localities.

J. C. Porter, who has been in poor health for some time past, left for Cameron Springs, yesterday, to try the mad bath treatment. Mrs. Porter left at the same time for Indianapolis, to visit friends. Our townsmah, Ersstus Peacock was again honored by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at Indianapolis Tuesday, being elected to the office of Grand Prelate. He is now well in the line of promotion, and may confidently expect to reach the highest honors in the grand lodge. L. A., Bostwick has just had an engraving made of his excellent map of Rensselaer, of a reduced size of course, and has printed off a large number of copies. It makes a very convenient little map of the town, and yet large enough for all ordinary purposes? Sold for 25 cents. Mesdames C. D. Martin, Ida Randle, and Katie Yeoman, and Misg Eliza Tuteur, attended the grand lodge Rathbone Sisters, at Indianapolis, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Randle who already held a grand lodge office, was honored by a promotion, being elected Grand Protectress. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hinkle, of Knox, were in town yesterday, on the sad errand of the burial of their infant daughter, Ruth, aged about 2 b mouths, whose death occured Tuesday. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon, at the F. W. Baptist church, by Rev. B. F. Ferguson. 5

The June fcstival at the M. E. church, every night this week, except Saturday presents a most excellent program, nnd though so far its patronage has not been quite what its merits entitled it to, yet its popularity is evidently increasing, and, the attendance growing better. Monday night Profs. Wolf and Rumely and Miss Utter furnished delightfulentertainment, with violins piano and zither. Tuesday night the famous Worlds Fair Quartette, of Lafayette, allj lady singers,Jwere the attraction. They had a good audience, and they furnished an evening’s entertainment that its lucky auditors will long remember as one of the best of its kind The Rensselaer Creamery is considerably increasing its out-put of cheese. An excellent quality of Cheese is made, and sold at a rate of 8£ cents a pound, at retail. For the quality of the cheese this is a very low price, and ought to bring the cheese into general consumption in this vicinity. At present prices of butter it will pay the milk producers better to make eheese-thas butter. The town grocers are all expecting to handle this cheese, and our readers are advised to give it a trial. Many will find the Rensselaer cheese as satisfactory as the imported article at twice the price. Grocers in neighboring towns are invited to try handling this cheese. It is all warranted and any not found satisfactory may be returned to the factory.

A BOLD ROBBERY.

A Masked Man With a Gun Bobs the Rensselaer Depot. The boldest act of highway robbery l ever committed in the town, was perpetrated last Friday night, or Saturday morning. A little before one o’clock, A. M. when the night operator at the depot, Guy Clemens, was alone in the building , a man suddenly appeared at the open window in front, and holding a revolver in the operator’s face, entered the window. He proceeded first to rob the operator himself. Getting however, only $1.85. He failed to find ass bill and a check, in Mr. Clemens’ vest pocket, and voluntarily refrained from taking his watch. He then compelled Mr. Clemens, at the point of a revolver, to go ont of the building and get into a box car. In this the robber securely locked Clemens, and telling Clemens in a very threatening manner to keep quiet, he then returned and rifled the ticket case of what money it contained, and also the safe. In all he secured $65. How he succeeded in working the combination and getting into the safe, is a mystery; but he and his supposed confederate, who kept out of sight, are evidently experts in the robbery line. The robbers face from the eyes down, was concealed by a black cloth. As soon as Mr. Clemens heard the door of the depot closed, and the robber going away, he raised a big y tiling and kept at it until he succeeeded in awakening Bernard Maloy whose home is just across the*alley from the depot, and who soon released Mr. Clemens from his box-car imprisonment. Saturday afternoon word came that two suspicious characters were hanging about Fair Oaks and Sheriff Hanley went up and arrested them. They gave their names as George Fisher and Wm. Dininger. The latter, a small, tihunky built fellow, Mr. Clemens is very positive is the man who robbed him. They claimed to have been fishing at Cedar Lake all day Friday, but the agent there says they were not. They are supposed to have got on to some train, soon after the robbery, and beat their way to Cedar Lake, and the next morning to have taken the first train back to Fair Oaks. When searched, before placing in jail, no money or valuables were found but 3 small steel drills, and a steel punch. Also note books in which were drawings of safe keys, and some other notes and pictures which suggest that they are in the opening business.— They had a preliminary examination, Sunday morning, and Dininger was bound over to the circuit court, and Fisher held as a witness.

Several parties are confident they saw one or both of these men in town Friday, but no one has yet been wilting ttridentify them, positively. It is the supposition that if they are the guilty men, that they hid their booty some place near Fair Oaks. Mr. Healy, the Monon’s detective, was in town Tuesday, investigating the affair. He expresses considerable doubt as to whether the right man has yet been secured. Since the above was in type, Sheriff Hanley has informed us that the arr'elE bf the suspects St Fair Oaks was made by the night operator there, Mr. Dyer, and who held them until the sheriff arrived. Mr. Clem, ens accompanied the sheriff to FairOaks when he went after the prisoners, and he picked Dininger out as the man who robbed him, frorp a crowd of about 25, all to him strangers. Tuesday night Dept Sheriff B. D. McColly and Deteotive Healy experimented a little with the depot safe, and they found that it is no good on on earth. Anyone can open it by turning the handle a few times. Dininger and Fisher are taking their confinment in jail with the nonchalance of old timers.
