Wednesday Local.

A government mint is the only thingthat can make money without advertising. Abe Martin : ls th’ ladianny Dimmycrats hain’t careful they’ll spend all ther money for banquets before th’ campaign opens. The salaried man laughs last. Richard Beck returned home today from a visit with his brother Will at Terre Haute. He was unable to get possession of the room he will have his bakery in at Knox until Dec. Ist, and was therefore forced to delay its opening until that time. Coach Sheldon, of Indiana University, picked Dobbins for the allstate left end. This is certaiply a high compliment to him, as he entersinto competition with players who have been in college for four years. Dobbins will play half t back for Rensselaer Thursday. Ivan Brenner and Earl Bruner, two 1907 graduates of the Rensselaer schoo, who are attending Northwestern University at Evanston, 111., w;here the former now lives, are hr re to spend Thanksgiving with the parents of the latter. Both are very much pleased with

their college work. The auti-saloon people at Hammond are seeking to wipe oat the saloons in the 3rd ward, which includes the main business district. If successful over 100 saloons would be forced out of business. To avoid this possibility the saloonists are seeking to have the city re gerymandered. Bruce Porter has traded his 80acre farm, just north of Rensselaer, to Harry R. Kurrie, for Horry’s $7,000 mortage equity on a 200 acre farm near Parr. By the terms of the trade Harry assumes a $3,000 morgaee on Bruits pK $350 in cash making the price paid for Bruce’s farm 1129.38 an acre. The Parr land is owned subject to the $7,000 mortgage, by a man in Jennings county, who will occupy it and conduct a dairy farm. Mrs. Mary E. Peck and daughter Miss Zote, who have resided in

Ronsselaer tor the past two years, during which time the latter has been an apprentice in the Western Union telegraph office managed by Miss Elizabeth Spaulding, have decided to return to ,their former home at DeMotte. Mrs. Peck ownes property there and the move will be made this week Miss Peck has completed her training and expects to receive notice of an appointment shortly. The Lafayette Journal says, J. Kirby Ris*, the busy but indiscreet chairman of the tenth district democrats, has instituted a fractional war in the democratic wigwam that has removed all possibility of peace in state organization. Kirby wants to be state chairman and he started the ball to rolling by opening up on the present state chairman, William H. O’Brien, at the Bryan banquet at Lafayette. The Journal ridicules the busy Kirby and indicates there is more ego than political sagacity in his cranium.
