A bunch of young fellows held a “rally” last night, and gave several people a serenade along about 10 o’clock Bass and snare drum and fife were used In the charivari and the notes were rather discordant, but they had the desired effect of waking up ail those who were serenaded. The cause was one of simply deviltry, and the result not a very damaging one to anj one concerned. Hurrah for the spirit of ’76. Mrs. J. L. Smith returned home yesterday from Hebron, where she ha been to attend the wedding of her son, Roy B„ to Miss Beulah Wilcox, at the home of the bride’s uncle.

Her name was Mrs. George C. Howard, and she made I her appearance in the role of the ■ negro girl in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ in 1852 and continued to play the part until 1887 —thirty-five years. This ■ record exceeds that of many far ' more celebrated actors, but probably none of them ever gave pleasure to as great a number of people as did she in this simple comedy part. CASVO3R.X.A..

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TIES WITH HAMMOND

Rensselaer Lads Make Great Showing Against Their Heavy Opponents in Saturday’s Game.

The grit displayed by the Rensselaer high' school boys at Hammond last Saturday was applauded by the Hammond spectators. They were greatly outweighed by the Lake county team, but played such a spunky game that they held the terrors of the north end down to a tie score of 6 to 6. j The difference in the size of the players was very noticeable when they came on the field In Harrison park, Hammond, and the rooters were all predicting an easy game for Hammond, and even the Rensselaer boys, who always have a lot of confidence in themselves, thought the outcome would be a defeat, but they decided that what they lacked In size they would make up in ginger and they deserve great credit for holding the big nortnenders to a tie. Neither side scored during the first half. Rensselaer held their opponents for downs and forced them to punt repeatedly and only on one or two occasions did Rensselaer succeed in carrying the ball the required distance on downs, but they too were forced to punt When the first half ended and Rensselaer had prevented the crossing of their goal line they felt confident of the result, and soon after the second half began they got the ball to within

He was not feeling at all well, it having developed that he had been injured in the neck and spine. He rested very well Sunday and no serious injury is expected to result from the blow or blows that he received. It is now stated that he lost more than 1200, of which |IOO was his own and the remainder belonged to B. J. Gifford and the express company. No trace whatever was discovered of the thieves.

Lowell Really Means Business

Frank Maloy, the moving spirit in Lowell football affairs, having gained his first knowledge of the gam? when a resident of Rensselaer, write* as follows from Lowell: “I note with pleasure the mention you make in your valuable paper concerning football, also the fact that Bruce Hardy had taken the matter in hand and that in all probability a game could be arranged between the two teams. In this regard I would thank you to keep the matter hot as far as your duties will permit, and help us to get a game for Nov. 15th or 22nd. Thanking you for anything you may do for us, I beg to remain, “FRANK MALOY.” Thus it will be seen that Lowell is after us, and we will have to go some if we defeat them. Bruce is getting along quite.well with his squad and will doubtless be able to accept one of the dates suggested. Among the husky boys that will get into the game are John Morgan, Rice Porter, Ross Porter, Gay McFarland, Guy Gerber, Garland Grant, John Putts, Ed Goetz, Earl Ches*nut and others. The line will be heavy and the back field swift.

Death of Mrs. Barbara Meyer.

Mrs. Barbara Meyer, mother of former postmaster Frank B. Meyer, died shortly after noon last Saturday, She was more than 80 years of age, but her exact age could not be ascertained. She has been in falling health for a long time, and about three weeks ago slipped and fell while out on the porch of her home on Van Rensselaer street. Since then her decline has been very rapid and Friday noon It became evident that the end was not tar distant Since her accident she has been constantly in care of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. F. B. Meyer, and of Mrs. Dickinson, a nurse. Marshall Hollowell, of Rushville, who shot himself and his sweetheart Miss Mary Ertle, last spring, following a Jealous eetrangment, but who regained the girl’s affections when both recovered, has been operated on for the old wound and likely will die. ■ 4' i ‘ ■ i

| ten yards of the Hammond goal Hue, but on the2d down they were carried back seven yards. They did not try for either a drop or place kick, but Kirk got through right tackle for 16 yards, just one yard short of a touchdown. The ball went to Hammond, who tried to punt, but Don Beam blocked tne kick and “Pede” Meyers fell on the ball behind the goal posts. Kirk kicked goal and the score stood Rensselaer 6; Hammond 0. Rensselaer was confident of victory until a fluke allowed Hammond to make a touchdown. They had punted and the ball after being touched rolled over our goal line. Haas was slow in going after the ball and a Hammond player fell on It. They also kicked goal and tied the score. After that there was nothing doing, although Kirk almost made a place kick on two different occasions. Kirk, Miller, Norman and English are said to have been the leaders in the Saturday game, Norman playing a star game at tackle against a 206 pound opponent The next two Saturday gauges will be played in Rensselaer; Oakwood, of West Lafayette, who succeeded in defeating Logansport last Saturday by the score of 26 to 0 being here the coming Saturday and Hammond being here the following Saturday.

Four Tickets in Union Township.

After consulting the election law for several days and debating the question for several hours Saturday with different lawyers here, County Clerk Warner decided that all four of the names that had been certified from Union township for assessor would have to appear on the ballot In that township. ChaaU.Garriott was orlginal’y nominated by the democrats, and then Edward Lakin petitioned to be put on the ticket as an independent candidate. Later the democrats found that they could elect some other person easier than they could Garriott and they also discovered that he was ineligible because he had resigned a judicial office only last spring, having been a justice of the peaee, and the law specifying that no Judicial officer can run for an office not judicial during the natural term of his office, even though he has resigned. Both Garriott and Lakin were ready to withdraw from the ticket, but the law also says that a withdrawal can not take place unless within three days after the namq has been c rtifled to the clerk. So it was decided that all /our names must appear on the ballet, viz. Democrat ticket., Solomon Norman;republican ticket, George E. McColly; independent democrat ticket, Chaa U. Garriott; independent ticket, Edward Lakin. There will, therefore be three democrats from Union running for assessor and one republican. The vo’tfr can take his choice. But, it is probable that Garriott would be disqualified even if he received' a plural.ty of the votes cast. , «

Stood on the Bridge too Much.

Swaying to and fro with the wind above the placid waters of Deer Creek ; the suspension bridge wag a new i sight for many people who went to : see the football game yesterday afternoon. At the close of the game several men started across the bridge toward town and the spliced cable could not stand the presure of seven men and it gave way on one side, letting the pedestrains into the water. Ordinarily the water Is very deep at this place but yes erday the drough proved to be of some benefit as it had occasioned low water and thereby made it possible for the young men to escape from the creek without serious trouble aside from being as wet as rata —Delphi Herald. ‘ Somewhere between Terre Haute and their old home In England the wife and children of George Morris are on their way to Terre Haute to find he was killed by a fall of slate in the mine where he was working.
