Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1907 — Page 3

LOCAL HAPPENINGS

FRIDAY Mrs. Leslies’ subject for Sunday morning services at tbe First Baptist church is “For His Sake,” and her evening subject will be, “Christ and ( the Cross.” Miss Stella Harbold, of Lakiu, Kans., who is attending business college at Lafayette, is spending a few days in Rensselaer with her aunt, Mrs. Mary E. Peyton. Our old friend, J. *W. Williams •of Rensselaer, in renewing his subscription to the Enterprise closes his letter by saying: “Tko I have been away from Kentlandfor ty-five years I still like to read the paper.” Mr. Williams has been a subscriber to this paper for forty : years and our list wouldn’t, right with his name erased.—Kentland Enterprise. Miss Floss Starr, for some time an operator at the telephone office resigned her position yesterday. This is said to be an initial step to the changing of occupations, her

prospective employment being mis tress ot a.home with a Mrs. prefixed and aB — suffixed to her name. No positive statement as to when ■theeventwill occur hasbeeugiven out. Today is the culmination of a week’s cloudy weather and a drizzling and chilly rain has been falling since early morning. It is quite apt to be followed by colder weather and it # is hoped it will be dry in order to gi ve farmers an opportunity to harvest their corn, many having secured their husking hands preparatory to beginning ■work next Monday. The illegibility of hand writing -overtakes most persons Vho write rapidly with lead pencils and the little placard in the Republican office window, appended to a head of kaffir corn may not be as plain as print. Two school girls stopped in front of the window the other day and the older one read tbe placard aloud to the other, and when the sentence ‘ ‘Kaffir corn is raised extensively for stock feed” the reader without h. sitation read “Coffee ■corn is raised extensively for stork feed,” and the little ones passed on without any knowledge ol the huge laugfi the editor was having on the inside. We quife heartily agree with those who have been discussing tbe rummage sale with its regards to disease communication that®the chance of transmission of disease is most remote, and we just as heartily approve the action of the city health officer to totally obliterate the possibility of a contagion being started in this matter by the fumigation of the rummage clothing. Tn this age of microbes and bacteria, the germ of disease is not very particular where it lights, and while the articles are collected from the best families and are for the most part the accumulation of only a few months they may have come into contact with disease that might -develop under certain conditions. To be sure, this is remote, but if it -can be totally obliterated by fumigation it is certainly essential to do it.

SATURDAY Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Halligan, of Ottawa, 111., returned home today alter a week’s visit with relatives here. Mrs. Dora Hammonds and baby, -of Indianapolis, came today to visit her sister, Mrs. John K. Smith and :family, of Hanging Grove tp. Joseph Sparling, residing sonthwest ot town about a mile, is confined to his home with a chronic case of kidney trouble. Don’t forget that the Sunday school lesson is in the Saturday, Daily and the Friday Semi-Week-ly each week. The tyur year old son of August Schultz, residing in Union tp., has been con lined to his bed for more than three weeks with pneumonia, and his life has hung in the balance lor several days. Several owners of cows have advanced the price of milk to 61 cents a quart which act is certainly justified by the very high cost of feed. V—-i '

Gdy Daniels, who for the past six months has been working at Fort Morgan, Colorado, arrived home Thursday and will remain here during the winter. C. D. Hopkins aud wife went to Hammond today to visit their daughter, Mrs. Floyd Moore. He will return Sunday but Mrs. Hopkins will probably remain for about a week. John J. Garri*y, the Mt. Ayr sa loon keeper, gives notice in the Mt. Ayr Filotr this week that he will ask for a new license at the December meeting of the Newton cpunty "com m issiouerif. —-— Harry Kresler, tbe barber, has moved from his own property across the railroad to his brother, Dr. Kresler’s house on Cullen street, ljust vacated by Clyde Comer. Harry desired to oe nearer his work.

C. C. Robinson, of Lafayette, was compelled to postpone the ~pohlic_ sale advertised to takq place at his farm 4 miles south of Pleasant Ridge for yesterday and the Republican has printed bills for the sale for next Thursday, Nhv. 7th.

The First Regiment foot ball team arrived ou the 10:55 train this morning. They are a fine looking set of players and willprobably give our boys a stiff job to handle. Tbe inauspicious weather will probably cause a small attendance at the game. Little Inga Jensen, the 8 year-1 old daughter of E. Jensen and wife j of Wheatfield, whose case of diphtheria was responsible for the closing of the Wheatfield schools, died Wednesday afternoon, and the funeral took place the same evening. Miss LaVera Lee. who has been teaching a district school in Iroquois county 111., near Danforth, came home yesterday for a month’s visit with her mother and other relatives. It is h£r first term of school and she is getting along very nicely. The schools in the rural districts of Illinois are given a month’s holiday during November. John Eiglesbachhas moved bis household effects into the bouse he recently bought of Mrs. Eva Morgan on Milroy avenue, and after Mrs. Morgan’s departure for her future home in Chicago, within about a week, will occupy that house. Orlan Grant has moved to the house vacated by Mr. Eigelsbach.

Joe Moosmiller, who resigned his position in the grocery depart ment of the Chicago Bargain Store about a month ago and went west for the benefit of his health, is now at Tuolumne, Cal., a lumber and mining town about 150 miles east of San Francisco. Joe works in a saw mill, sometimes washing logs and sometimes wording on the resaw. He is an industrious young man and it is hoped by all his acquaintances here that the change of climate restores his health. R. G. Mills, proprietor of the Bijou Five Cent Theatre, which was conducted for several weeks in the A. Leopold building on Van Rensselaer street, dropped off the train here yesterday on his way home from a prospecting trip thru Illinois and lowa. He has not yet selected a location and might possibly decide to reopen here in Rensselaer.

The Modern Woodmen of this place planned a surprise on Wm. Smith and wife, who will shortly move to Rensselaei, which was held at the home of Mr. and Mis. Frank Heath last Monday evening. Music was the chief enjoyment of the evening, after which lunch was served and all present left declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening. William is a member of the Woodmen camp at this place.—Mt. Ayr Pilot. Henry W. M has been in dieted by a grand jury at Indianapolis, for frauds connected with the contract the Western Construction Co., had for the making of repairs to pavements in that city. The recent letter Mn Marshall wrote the editor of this paper was by no means in the way of an explanation, and Mr. Marshall had no thought that it would be published. He wrote a personal letter on an 1 entirely diffeient subject The

writer believing Mr, Marshall in l nocent, published a part of his letter, The., fact of his arrest is by no means proof of his guilt and we desire to reaffirm our confidence in him, not with a view to shielding him, for if he is guilty he deserves punishment, but we had considered him above the graft line. There is no connection with his' incnmbrency of the republican district chairmanship, and his outside life and the party is not responsible for the fact that his predecessor, Tom McCoy, went wrong or wa3 wrong when elected. The character ot the democratic national chairman, Tom Taggert, should be little solace to those po litical muck rakers who.try to besmirch the name of every man con spicuous in the councils of an opposing party. If Henry Marshall is guilty a republican city administration in Indianapolis will punish him, and it was a republican administration that closed the Taggart casinos at French Lick and West Baden.

Miss Ella Rusk is attending business collegeatr Indianapolis. Born, this Monday morning, Nov. 4, 1907, to Vance Collins aud wife a daughter.—— 1— D. H. Hazen in f-endinga renew al for the Republican from Yellow Grass, Sask, Cauada, sends his best wishes to his Jasper county friends. Hunters are reminded that the •losed season on rabbits lasts from Oct. Ist to Nov. 10th, which period is given them for the storing of Iheir winter’s food. It should te respected by good sportsmen. The services at the First Baptist church yesterday attracted good crowds. There will be no services tonight but tomorrow night Mrs. Leslie will speak at the usual time and a large crowd will be in attendance from Monon. The Rensselaer Independents were defeated by a team at St. Joseph’s College Sunday afternoon by the score of 6 to 2.

M. L. Thomas, of Monon, has traded for the Geo. Kistler grocery store near the depot, and will ship it to Monon and sell it at auction • Richard Beck “ returned home from Delphi this morning, after a short visit there. He expects' to get his bankery at Knox started up the last of this week. Frankfort has cancelled its two foot ball games with Rensselaer, so there will be no game next Saturday. Manager Kiplinger is quite apt to take another Chicago team tor Saturday, Nov. 16th. This is a busy day at the court house with the final closing up of the tax paying period, the day for making out pension papers, and the county commissioners and township trustees all in session. The schools will have the vacation Thursday and Friday of this week that had been planned for last week, and all the teachers will go to other cities to visit schools, the object being to secure ideas employed successfully at other places. Mrs. Bruce White was taken to the Deaconuees hospital at Indianapolis Friday and was operated upon this Monday morning, her husband and their local physician being present at the operation which took place at 8:00 this morning. John Watson, and wife of Gillam tp., stopped over night last night with their son, Tillman Watson, east of town, on their way home from Boone county, where they had been to see her mother, who is quite poorly, being well advanced in years.

It was Hugh Hurley instead of Jim Hurley, who assisted Section Foreman Koepkey in dispatching the tramps who stole the dinner buckets. Hngh is a young man only about 21 years of age but he was game enough to help Boss Koepkey in a bad fight. He had. a big cut on one of his shirt sleeves from the tramp's knife, but fortunately the knife missed the musle of the arm. r£ome people don’t seem to know that when driving on the road they must give half of the right-of-way to the passing veuicle when they are over taken by any person-wish-ing to drive faster than they are

going. Especially is this true * n the case ot bein? overtaken by an automobile. As the automobile law distinctly says that all drivers of animal drawn vehicles must give half of the roads lor automobiles to pass when either meeting or' being overtaken by one. The*" penalty is arrest ami smart fine.

A DOZEN BEANERS. It is quite proper for the aeronaut in starting a letter, to say, “I thought I would drop you a line.” A few days like today is calculate ed to make the city owner of a cow wish he was buying his milk of the daryman. —- As usual the people who made the loudest roar about the banks were the fellows without a dollar in them. Most any newspaper man can prove an alibi on the charge that he is hoarding money to keep it out of circulation. By this time most men have been told by their wives how horrid every other woman in town looks in her new fall hat. A certain photographer will be looking most any morning now for a half dozen strong arms to assist in the fifth annual post-Halloween relief expedition. It is very ungrateful for young men who have swiped the candy set out to cool to send word the next day that it wasn’t good. The Seniors having taken the wraps of the Juniors the annual class clash is probably inaugurated, and the Juniors will probably take a few “raps’ themselves shortly. The storebox politician can probably tell you anything you want to know about the financial situation, but you won’t hear him rattling any change in his pocket.

Congress will convene Dec. ist, and if the proceedings are carefully watched it may be determined that there are a few boodlers in both branches. Some people who believe in elastic currency keep a string with no stretch to it on their own. The thin rimmed, red banded hat of a school boy may cover the hjad of a future great man. The adoption is mild compared to the sky-frights that women often balance on their beauty tops.

N. E. Rummage Sale. Nov. Bth and 9th the M. E. ladies will conduct their rummage sale in the K» of P. building. They will offer many useful articles, and bargains will be secured there by all purchasers. Dou’t forget the Nov. Bth and 9th.
