several times recently. He was. taken Thursday forenoon, while on hi# 1 way to attend his father’s funeral, and was obliged to return home before the services | were held. The Rensselaer boys in Company I have come back, a fine ! manly, robust looking lot, eviderft!ly greatly benefitted by their year’s experience in Uncle Sam’s service. The Republican told them when they left that their war experience would be to them an inestimable benefit, and so it nas proved as everyone one of them gladly testifies. Yesterday Bert Brenner, at Long’s drug ''store, spilled some linseed oil and wiped it up with an old rag, and threw the rag out of doors on the stone steps, behind the store. In the evening there was a smell of smoke for some time which Mr. Long investigated, and finally found that it came from the rag, which had taken fire from spontaneous combustion. This circumstance shows how easy it is for fires to originate from oily rags lying around. Reports from over tbe county indicate that the prospects for the wheat crop have riot improved any, and many fields which their owners spared at oat sowing time are now being plowed up, for corn. There are here and there small fields and parts of fields which look well but on the whole the wheat orop is a failure in this county this year. The most favorable reports regarding its condition, come from the region a number of miles southeast of town. Whatever disappointment may have been felt at Rensselaer at the turning down of all Jasper county men, in the matter of officering Company I. of the 161st regiment, there is no disputing the fact that the officers that were chosen have proven' popular and able officers. This is especially true of Captain Guthrie, who has promised to, come over tonight, and make an address at tbe reception of the returned sokUets.

We took a trip to Wheatfield last Friday; going Ly way of Shelby and returning by way of Fair Oaks. The country over which we traveled until quite recently was a dreary waste of marsh but now is dotted with nice .homes. At Wheatfield they have put in a new grain elevator and are rebuilding the burnt distriot. B. J. Gifford is doing wonders for that part of the country.—Lowell Tribune. We desire to thank the citizens who so liberally contributed money to defray the expenses of the, reception tendered the returning soldiers of the 161st Ind, and our esteemed townsman Mr. Goff, who served the refreshments in such an excellent and pleasing manner. Also all those who part in program and those who in any other manner assisted in making the reception a success. By order of Committee.

is Baby TooTMn? : - : If so, there must be some trouble with its food. Well 1 babies are plump; only the, sick are thin. Are you sure the food is all right? Chil- : dren can’t help but grow; they must grow if their food ; nourishes them. Perhaps a mistake was made in .the l past and as a result the di-. gestion is weakened. If that : b so, don’t give the baby ; a lot of medicine; just use j your every-day common ] sense and help nature A little, and the ~way to do it is to add half a teaspoonful of SCOTT’S : EMULSION to the baby’s food three or ; four times a day. The gain will begin the very first day you give it It seems to correct the digestion and gets the baby started right again. If the baby b nursing but does not thrive, then the mother should take the emubion.; It will have a good effect both upon the mother and child, 50c. and aQ dntgcuds. ~ tt*i- 1 F *..• /. .... Tv ~*•

An eleven year old Havana “coon” also came with them and is at Delphi, with Dr. Smith. These two were the company mascots. Another feature in the new time card on the Monon that will be quite a convenience to many Rensselaer people is that train No. 32, which passes liere, north bound, at 9:55 a. m. will hereafter stop at Cedar Lake. It will be the popular train hereafter for people going to Cedar Lake. We noted a few days ago that Dr. Johfibon’s birth record then showed seven girls in a string'The Doctor gave the facts from memory, and on looking up his record he the number of girls in hie practice, since a boy was recorded, was not seven but aotually, twelve. Number 13, of course broke the charm and was a boy. Mrs. Mattie Henkle has written back from Wichita, Kans., that she is staying there with her ohildren, Fred and Grace Bowman, for about two weeks, and will then move up to some point nearer their final destination, Fountain, Colo.-, where another stop will be made, it being necessary for the invalids to get accustomed to the rise in altitude, gradually.
