CABTOHIA.

H. B. Price writes to his sister, Miss Nettie Price, that he is getting along nicely now, and hopes to be able to return from the springs the last of the week.

Rensselaer could doubtless do some great business with a carnival some time in August and if they contemplate holding one this would be a good time to get busy.

Mrs. M. E. Davisson returned this morning from Burnettsville, leaving her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chas. Moore, just alive. It seems certain that she can live but a few days. Frank Crosscup, the assistant bus man, has been having a round with a felon on his second finger of his right hand. It was lanced last week by his doctor and is now getting well. Miss Clara Purdy, of Silverton, daughter of Dr. O. Irwin, deceased, formerly of Sheldon, 111., is visiting her uncle, J. F. Irwin, her aunt], Mrs. J. C. Porter and other relatives. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Wallace, of Chicago; are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Irwin. They will remain here until the last of the week and will then go-ito White Lake, Mich., for a short stay.

Mrs. C. H. Porter came from Chicago yesterday to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jay W. Williams. During her stay here Mr. Porter will accompany friends on a fishing and camping expedition in Wisconsin.

Richard Crowell and wife and baby, Miss Irma Kannal and Mr. H. F. Parker £re camped on the banks of the Tippecanoe river, near Buffalo, White county, and will be absent from the city for a week or ten dayß. Mrs. Harry Willitts returned Saturday from Culver, where she has been visiting her father, Harry Adamson, and her sister, Miss Bessie Adamson, returned with her and will remain for several weeks visiting relatives in Rensselaer and at McCoysburg.

John Eger was up at Fair Oaks this morning, where threshers today began to thresh his rye crop. He brought] a sample here for the inspection of elevator men and It looks very fine. 1 He has 35 acres of it and from indi- 1 cations it will make 30 to 37 bushels to the acre.

0 Miss Alice Drake, who Is attending the school of expression, a department of the Chicago Musical College, was home over Sunday and Monday, returning to the city today. She was accompanied home by her uncle, M. B. Maloney, and her grandmother, Mrs. E. Maloney, who bad been visiting here. the next big week day game that the Rensselaer Wrens will play at home will be With the Wheatfleld Regulars Wednesday of next week, July 22. Guess we will hare to go some, but the boys are getting a lot of prcatlce from their games and they will probably show Dr. Zeuch’s team a lively contest

Misses Edith and Alice Shedd went to Chicago this morning to witness the production tonight by the Ben Gleet Co. of “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” It is to be an outdoor production in Ravins Park. The Ben Gleet pearean plays among college students and graduates. They present all plays in the old English language, as it was spoken by' contemporaries of Shakespeare, and Mr. Gleet's Interpretation of the leading rolls has attracted much attention.

Since several other towns near Rensselaer have baseball teams It might be a good thing for the various managers to get together and arrange tot

a league to do business, through August and September. Much Interest could be created and the league put in condition for a longer season next year: Probably Rensselaer, Brook, Mt Ayr, Morocco, Kentland, Goodland Wolcott and Remington could comprise the league. These towns are not far apart and could get together* at a minimum of expense. Tom McCoy is said to have never fully recovered from the fracture he sustained to his left leg in August last year, and he haß not been able to work any since that time, and he is feeling none too good. When he first entered the penitentiary he worked with a will and the time passed rapidly but since h 6 has been unable to work the time has passed very slowly. And then it is quite probable that he had banked considerable on having his petition for parole granted and failing in this has discouraged him a great deal. When Tom does finally get his freedom he is quite sure to be somewhat broken in health and spirits. He is now thoroughly convinced that “the way of the transgressor is hard.”

Quite a delegation of workmen were here Monday, working over the depot platform, putting in a few new planks. If the work of the recently adjourned democratic convention in Denver in platform making Is as crude as that done by the Monon railroad carpenters, it won’t prove any Joy to the voters. And the democrats left some tolerably rough edges in their efforts to pacify labor organizations without offending capital. Twelve years ago the democratic Bryan-mad platform did not give a rap what the moneyed Interests wanted, but this year every plank makes a low bow to the "interests” in the east If visitors at the Monon depot in Rensselaer will size up the platform in its remodeled form they will have a fair idea of how the Denver democratic platform looks.

OABTOHIA. th , >The Kind You Haw Always Bought

Special orders have been recev'ed by the local militia company showing the members of the 3d regiment rifle team that are to compete for the state team at Fort Benjamin Harrison from the 21st to the 26th of July inclusive. The order does not give a complete list of the contestants at the recent regimental shoot giving the scores of the first 16 only, and John Gangloff of Company M was the sixteenth man, or the first outside of the regularly selected team. A general order from headquarters of the Indiana National Guard empowers the colonel of each regiment to select 15 additional men and Col. Thayer has named Gangloff as one of the fifteen. There will be 99 men participate in the shoot and the successful fifteen will represent the state at the national shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio.

WEDNESDAY Mrs. Ben Smith went to Clymers, Ind., today, to visit friends. Mrs. Chas. Rishling went to Monon today to spend the day with Mrs. Harve Critton. Mrs. Fred Phillips returned this

Ik ,Peetz, republican candidate for state statistician, and joint owner, with his wife of the Monon News, was in Rensselaer a short time thia morning. Ralph Jones came down from Chicago yesterday for a short visit with his father, W. N. Jones. Ralph is now working in the telegraph office of the south side elevated.

Well, everyone seems to be in favor of a big carnival in Rensselaer. Then why not call a meeting and get busy. The Lackman company is said to be at Seymour, Ind., this week, and the Luce company at Mt. Carmel, 111

We are having some very pretty weather following the excessively hot days of last week. And between times we had some very tine rains. It is good growing wether and the “smile that won’t come off’’ is working ali along the line.

Lem Houston is able to be on the street today. He found that his left leg was quite badly bruised where the falling tree that knocked him against the ax struck him, and he figures that he will be about as long getting over the bruises to his leg as his hand will be in healing.

The state medical board has revok d the license of Dr. Herman Reiss, of of Hammond, sustaining charges that the license had been obtained by fraud. Reiss failed to appear before the board, notwithstanding the fact that he had been cited to appear, and his absence was taken as conclusive proof of the charges.

Miss Ethel Mills, sister of Miss Frances Mills, and who lived here during the time her sister was a teacher in the Rensselaer schools, stopped off here last evening for a short visit with Miss Gertrude Hopkins and other Rensselaer friends. This evening she will go to her home in Chicago. She has been attending the Indiana. University at Bloomington.

Mrs. Ada Nowles Wheeler and fcer husband are planning to remove from Flora, Carrol county, to Colorado. The removal will be made because of the ill health of Mr. Wheeler, who for some years has been engaged in the implement business at Flora with his father. They will probably start in about three weeks. Mrs. Wheeler is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R Nowels, of this city. ,

CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the sj? Signature of C T&CC&M

Mrs. John Wiseman, residing in tke northwest part of town, severely scalded her right forearm in boiling soap Buds one day last week. The arm was badly burned from the wrist to the elbow, and for four days she relied on home treatment for it and it was in a quite serious condition when a physician was called. r It is now getting somewhat better. Mr. Wireman works at tbe tile mill nor h pf town. \ The Jasper County Democrat’s inconsistency is shown in two articles in a recent issue. On the front page that paper roasts the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana for declaring for the Republican state platform and on the back page the paper praises Sam Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor, because he had declared for Bryan. The Democrat is swayed by political prejudice at all stages. Mrs. D. A. Stoner of Wichita, Kang., and daughter, Mrs. F. W. Windsor, of Claflln, Kans.., arrived yesterday to visit the former’s mother, Mrs. J. T. Randle. Another daughter, Mrs. S. V. Fisher and daughter Gladys, ok Marlon, Ind., are also hers to visit Mrs. Randle and a third daughter, Mrs. Chas. Warner and her husband and daughter, of Sheldon, 111,, are expected here today. It Is a very pleasant home gathering. D. F. Jones, the youth from Evanston, who exhibited such a remarkable nerve In asking assistance from people In this city, left yesterday afternoon for Chicago. It is said boys he met while here gave him money to buy a ticket to Chicago, but he changed his mind after reaching the depot and bought a ticket to Cedar Lake only. He will probably get busted there and Impose on others for aid to get on in to Chicago. From bis appearance it is quite probablethat he is a dope fiend and largely Irresponsible for what he does.

THURSDAY Mrs. Ezra Clark went to Frances ilia today for a short visit with her daughter, Mrs. Will Porter. The city of Gary has issued its first directory, which shows that the steel city has a population of 5,000. Mrs. Harrison Wasson and daughter Alberta left this morning for a two weeks' visit with relatives at Union City and Winchester. . Mrs. Wm. A. Davis, matron of the Cunningham orphanage at Urbana, 111., brought a little girl to the Monnett Children’s Home yesterday. Felix Parkepr was down from Roselawn yesterday, and brought some ground feed for his hogs to keep them in trim until the new crop comes on. All members of the Knights of Pythias ball team are requested to be out at 6:15 this evening on the court house lawn, to practice for the forthcoming game with the Remington K. or P. team. Mrs. C. D. Royse and daughter Mary, were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. H. L. Brown yesterday and today. They left this afternoon for their home in South Dakota. They hed been visiting in Indianapolis.

Simon Lehman, of Indianapolis, is here for a visit with A. Leopold, for whom he worked as a book keeper some 26 years ago. Mr. Lehman has also been visiting Ben Leopold and wife at Brook and other friends In Chicago. . —— Carl Worden passed a very good night and- his condition is regarded as very hopeful. . His temperature and pulse were normal this morning and there .vyas no indication of peritonltes. ’His chances of recovery are, however, still somewhat limited.

Harry Kiplinger and Landy McGee returned from the Kankakee latt evening, Where they had been since Sunday. .fljbey brought home a fine string of pickerel, 21 in number, and weighing fifqm 2 to 11 pounds. They also caught about 100 nice cat fish.

Aft an. a delay of over a year, work has been begun again on the Gifford railroad, six miles east of Lowell. A large gang will soon be set to work and Mr. Gifford, the promoter, gives it OU4 as his intention to push the work'until Its completion into Gary. ■

Hate Always Bought

Robert White, who calls Renssslaer his home although he spends most of his tt/ne at other places, has been j here a few days this week. He has I been' visiting at Joliet, 111., with his 1 son Robert, and will go from here to points' in the southern and eastern part pf the state. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Brenner spent Wednesday fishing at the Kankakee and paught a .string of 28 goggle eyes and cats. Their success aroused the ■ r ? L ■ - latent fishing ardor of A. F. Long and Joe Hardman and these two gentlemen went to tbe Kankakee this morning to try their luck.

A. D. Stephenson, administrator of the estate of his late father, Robert Stephenson, of Parr, was in Rensselaer a short time yesterday, on business relating to the settlement of the estate." He has for some months been traveling in the east for -the Herbert 6. Toiilinson Co., brokers, of Chicago. 3*

Miss Marceline Roberts Weht to Ch!-* cago this morning to visit her grandmother,' Mrs. H. 0. Harris, who is remaining there a short time before going to ( Michigan. She will also see her cousin, Miss Merl Harris, who was operated on recently for appendicitis, and who is recovering very satisfactorily. The Wrens went to Montlcello today to play ball with the team at that place. It is probable that Dobbins will pitch. The line-up will be about the same as usual with the exception of Orlan Grant, who will be out of this game. In his place will be “Chick” Parke, the star second baseman of the ML Ayr team.

Mrs. W. J. Imes has gone to New York for a month's visit with her two brothers, John and Robert Paris and her stster, Mrs. Lydia Paris Kimball, all of whom reside in Brooklyn. She will aIBO spend a considerable part of the time In acquainting herself with millinery styles and will probably make some purchases of fall millinery while in New York. - Geo. Mußtard and family arrived in Rensselaer yesterday from Westphalia, Kans., where they had been since last October. They are uncertain how long they will remain here but if he can find work in his line, which is carpentering, they will probably again locate bere. For the present they are visiting his uncle, George Mustard, and his sister, Mrs. Sylvester Gray. The Republican was either mls'ahen in its hearing faculties or John Eger was not clear In his articulation on his Fair Oaks farm rye story. Ws said that his rye would make from 10 to 37 bushels to the acre, but John nays be said that it would make from

CITY COUNCIL MEETS MONDAY EVENING

Water Contract With Monon Railroad Renewed—Other Business Transacted and Claims Allowed.

All members were present at the city council meeting Moqdfty evening except Councilman Gerber. The contract with the Monon railroad for water and light, which has just expired, was renewed for the period of one year at an annual rental of 3380, an increase of S3O over the old contract. The contract for the Van Rensselaer street improvement was let to W. F. Smith & Co. The work from Harrison street south and from Cornelia to Susan street will cost 76 cents per lineal foot. From Susan street north the bid was 76 cents per foot, the street being narrower.

Tne street committee was authorised to employ a superintendent for street work when necessary. The members of the fire department present at the Baptist church and Byrd alarms were allowed $2.50 each for their services.

Anna R. Mills et al petitioned for a cement sidewalk on the north side of Cedar street from the south corner of the Smith property to Division street. The city attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution 'for same. \ ‘

An order was made allowing all city employes at the light and city water plant who had worked one year or more a week’s vacation each year with full pay. All of the present employers will be entitled to the vacation, as all have been employed ovgr the limit.

A number of supply men were here trying to sell the city a small dynamo to be used in the latter part of the night when the load Is light, sack a dynamo having been needed for some time. The council appointed the light superintendent and chairman of the light committee to investigate the needs of the plant thoroughly and report at a later meeting, when a dynamo may be purchased.

The notion that a slender figure can get just as much satisfaction and style from a cheap Corset as from a garment especially designed for them, is false.

I Jacob Shriver, who spent some six ‘ weeks visiting his mother, Mrs Philip McElfresh and other relatives and ] old friends in Rensselaer, left Tuesday afternoon for his home in northern ' Minnesota, near Hay Point This was the first time Jake bad been In Rens- ' selaer for 17 years and be found his I old boyhood acquaintances grown Into manhood and engaged In various occupations. Since he has broken the 1 ice by a return home it is hoped that 1 so great a time will not elapse between his visits in the future. . Tbe Monon railroad conducted an . excursion Wednesday over its Michigan City branch from Greencastle to ] Michigan City.

An order was made transferring $1,200 from the light fund to the corporation fund, allowing the light fund ! 4 per cent interest, which will save the city 2 per cent by allowing it to cash orders in the corporation fund, Instead of allowing them to go I to protest. It is thought that the $1,200 will cover the expenses in the corporation fund until the December draw. The following claims were allowed: Light fund, to corporation fund E. M.
