A Picture From Life’s Other Side.

The Kentland Enterprise has the following commektf to make about the Rensselaer boys who were called to testify before the Newton county grand jury: A husky bunch of young fellows, about twenty or twenty-five, were over from Judge Hanley's town Tuesday. It seem that since Rensselaer took the Keely Cure her young bloods on whom the cure failed to take, have been getting their bitters at Rose Lawn and Thayer, and incidently boot-legging some of the stuff home to their friends. Fred Irwin, a local cartoonist of promising ability, drew a clever picture of the boys as they were leaving Rensselaer and placed the same in the hands of Attorney Foltz who used it as a means of identification after their exit from the grand jury room.
