W. B. Stover was in today te get bis sale bills the Republican had printed for him. His sale date is Jan. 30th, and a list of his stock will be publised in each issue of the Semi-Weekly Republican until that date. Last fall Mr. Stover aud several other parties not far from his home in Jordan tp., made a trip to Ljrimore, N. Dak., and all purchase farms. Mr/'Stover bought a half section. He will move to his farm there shortly after the sale. He will also look after a half section of land that John Zehr, of Carpenter tp., bought there, and which is located only a mile from where his farm is. The talkative Wolcott checker players seem to have altogether ignored the direct challenge of the Rensselaer players, as no answer to the challenge has been received a.>d the Enterprise did not mention the challenge this week. W. Jf, Jordan, from up near Gifford, was in town and tackled Thomas, Stevens and Frank Hill Thursday. He has always been equal to ho.ding his own with these players in

the past, but they all defeated him on this occasion. These three and McFarland are now in floe shape and all are aching to take the conceit out of the Wolcott players. Since they have offers! to go there, entertain them hen or meet at Reynolds, it would seem that a match should be arranged.

from South Bend where he been < n business for the past few days. Lnther Randle, son of John A. Randle, left today with the car ot household goods lor > . Mangum.

says, “Rensselaer is one of the prettiest cities I have ever seen in the middle west. Its streets are wonderfully good and has a larger number of pretty residences than any town its size in Indiana. I would like very much to spend next summer here”. W. R. Geier aud ye scribe attended the Monticello Poultry Show Tuesday where they have birds on exhibition. The show at that place is a grand success, ovey 400 birds and some very choice specimens. Mr. Parvis, the judge whb also judged the big show at Nashville, Tenn., last week, pronounced Mr. Geier’s White Rocks the best birds he had handled this year.—Remington Press. Today is bright and sun shiny again and the little cold snap that did no register lower temperature than 16 degrees above zero has been dispelled. The coldest weather so far reported seems to have been 10 above zero, which occured early in December. R. A. Parkinson today recalled the win ter that the Monon railroad was being built. He hauled ties all winter, aud most of the time thru mud. It has probably been a great many years since a winter passed that did not register some zero temperature in this latitude. The open winter will give the “oldest citizen” a chance to be heard.

He will probably place it in the Thompson cement building. The show at the Bijou was ex optionally good Saturday night and good crowds greeted both performances. If managers, Mills and Ellis continue to give the same class of shows in the fntnre that -they have in the past, the 5 bent theatie wilt no doubt be a permanent institution in Rensselaer.
