Win Two Foot Ball Victories.

Rensselaer is old-time fortball form, and both the high schcol and the city teams were victorious in support of the red and black in t v e .games played by the fencer Satrr■day and the latter Sunday. . The high school boys put it over on Wolcbtt by the narrow score cf to 0, scoring a safety in the reccnd half. The game was played at Wcl- - and Prof. Preston, of Monticello, refereed the game, while Rev. Parrett, of Rensselaer, umpired it For the first- time this year Rensselaer diverted from its straight football tactics, and most of the time relied on forward passes and “on side” kicks. The open play was largely used in order to save the boys, for - the game with Hammond next Saturday and in order to perfect ■ome things that have proven dfficult in the past In the first half of the game Rensselaer worked the ball almost the entire length Of the field by forward pastes, Kirk largely carrying the ball." When they had the ball on the 10-yard line, they undertook to carry it over by line sh|ngeh a&d decording to the Rensteelaer crowd were suCereful, but Referee Prefeton would hot allow the totichdowh, claiming that the ball was not over the line. 1 In - the second half the safety was scored by the Rensselaer players throwing a Wolcott player back of the line after he had recovered the ‘■ball following h punt. He had picked up the ball close to the line, and just as ’he started to run was tackled by Rensselaer players and borne back over the line. - Ths was the flirst defeat Wolco't had suffered this year. Sunday afternoon the city team played a game at the college field, having the Owl Social Club, of Lafayette as their opponents. The teams lined up with an average weight Of fcbout 160 pounds eah, Wi*h t v e visitors having probably somewhat the heavier team. But Rensselt er s" ow d some old time form and took tl e game by the score of 16 to 0. fl The Rensselaer lined up as follows: John Robinsen, center; Garland Grant and John Putts, gur.ls; Ray Collins and Earl Chestunt, tackes; Howard Mills and Pe cy H u er, : ends; Gaylord McFarland, quarter back; John Morgan and R ss P rter, halffe; and DeVere Yeoman, full. Yeoman made two touch downs and Morgan kicked goa’s after ea h and also made one drop kick. The team played fine individual ball, and R ss Porter, Howard Mills and tie Puts) boys, all played spectacularly, while McFarland, Mo:gan, Yeoman and Hauter all played good steady ball. With practice they could Leconte a, very fine te J .m, having weight end 1 speed combined to an admilab e degree. Next Sunday Rensselaer gees to Lowell to play, and no other games have positi re y be n arranged, although Manager Bru e Hardy h'per to be able to arrange for a Thanksgiving game, which he can easily do if he can arrange for grounds; ; tpe high school having Rive side field rented, on wh’ch occasi n they i will play McKinley high, of Chicago.

Arm Broken in Runaway.

Mrs. Albert Warber, of Hanging ‘Grove township, had her r'ght arm broken near the shoulder and sustained other ) rulst s pa ticula: ily to the right hip in a runaway last Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Warner were a'artin g home after doing some trading in town, and when near the Comer House his hones became frightened at an automobile, which County Superintendent Lamson was driving. He was a consid rabte distance from tie horses, which are young and skittish, and no blame whatever attaches to him. M r . Warner ordinarily would be able to manage the horses, but he had a pair of mittens on and could not grip the lines, and the animals soon were beyond control. Realizing that the horses we e going too fast to make the turn east on the country road, Mr. Warner l.t the horses go straight aorors the road and past King Davis’ residence and down toward the ice houre, and Mr. Warner was afraid they would daah into the river, so he turned them into the fence. As they struck that the' horses broke loose from the buggy aid- Mr. and Mrs. Warner were thrown out and she received the injuries above mentioned. The top of the buggy was tom off, the tongue and double trees broken. The horses did not run farther. - Judge and Mrs. 8. P. Thompson were out driving and they took Mrs. Warner to a doctor’s office wlure thw fracture was reduced, and she was able to be taken to her home Sunday morning. Mr. Warner sustained only slight injuries. Sptrel la is the only corset accom-1 panled by an official Coupon, guaranteeing a duplicate free In case of break or rust inside dt one year.

Quince Richardson, of Pontiac, 111., came out Wednesday evening for a few days’ visit with H. N. Moulds and family. Several farmers will be done gathering corn by Thanksgiving. The quantity is only fair but the quality is pretty generally good. The turkey crop is somewhat lighter than usual this fall, only a few bunches are 'seen and usually very few Tn a bunch. The cause is largely attributed to the wet, cold season when young turkeys were hatching.

The M. E. Church Revival Meetings.

The revival meetings at the Methodist church are developing unusual interest. Three notable meetings we e held on Sunday. Charles F. Bariett, the evangelist, is a forcible Gospel preacher. Last evening the church was crowded to the doors and a number could not obtain admittance. Mr. Barrett was at his best and spoke on the text “Remember Lot’s Wife.’’

The subject this evening will te “The First Five Minutes After Death.” , Beginning with Tuesday there wEI be afternoon meetings at 3 p. m. during this week. The public are cordially invited. Alfred McCoy, the ex-banker, of Rensselaer, died in Queen City, Mo., last Friday. McCoy had keen a banker in Rensselaer for fifty years and enjoyed the Confidence and respect of all, but when his ton, Tom, had one 1 hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the depositor’s money besides, squandered about all he had and over the old man was embittered because the people demanded justice, and be went to the home ot his daughter in Missouri with a hatred in his heart for Rensselaer and all her people.

Mr. Milton Rothrock has been instrumental in organizing one of the largest game preserves in the state. Hon. C. D. Meeker has' been In communication with Game Commissioner Sweeney for some time relative to the matter and Mrt Sweeney has assured him that the state would stock a preserve, if one be created with quail and Hungarian partridges. Mr. Rothrock took it in and has secured ovfer 48000 acres. The bwnets of the land agree" to protect the game and allow no hunting whatever and the state agrees to help protect the game. Anyone caught poaching on these lands will find himself in trouble worse than any ’bxpertenced in Illegal fishing. Thb farms are ideal for qua! and there are already several flocks to be found there as well as a bunch of prairie chickens, all of which have been well protected heretofore, but under this new order of things will have a much better chance to multiply,. The same with squirrels. Provisions will bq made for feeding all of the birds- during extremely cold weather. With the same kind of preserves in Cass and Carroll counties, and the others that are likely to be in thip section, there socn ought to be plenty of quail to clean out the destructive insects on tie farms.—Monticello Journal,

Rare Art in Painting.

The Long corn show is no longer confined to nature alone for its attractiveness, art having taken a hand in making it a success. Two oil paintings were hung in the corn display window Tuesday evening that are attracting a great amount of attention. They are the product of the painting art of Miss Flora Harris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. BenJ. Harris. One of the pictures is of an overturned basket of red and yellow corn. Miss Harris’s father brought to her studio a basket of corn, which she overturned and theri artistically arranged the ears, shelling a few grains of yellow corn and laying the grains carelessly on the flbor; No artist ever painted a picture more real; Every shade is perfect, every ear and grain and the exposed parts of the cobs are as perfect as the subject from which paint ed. The other picture is also a corn picture, showing the long rows of shocks leading back to a wood fall tinted' by the early frosts. This, tco, is ,J a splendid picture, and one can stand fora Tong time and study the works. ‘ J They 'must be seen to understand their full beauty and nature lovers should not fail to see them during the time they are displayed at Long’s drug store. .’ ■’ ; --1 in' f i ■Wuns '1 ,rtji 1 iSi " One HWfi wa§ shot to death and several dtherd WoUhded in a battle between two bands of political feudists in NeW York. ~ i

What the Kidneys Do.

THEIR’ UNCEASING WORK KEEPS US STRONG AND HEALTHY. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three • minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. i When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when Unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings On many diseases and symptoms—pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular’ heart, debility, drowsire s, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if yofa keep the filters right you w,ll have no trouble-wlth your kidneys. j W. W. Dehaven, 1837 Smeafl Bt,, Logansport, Ind., says; 'Dean’s Kidney Pills proved of great valve to me. For three years I suffered from severe pains In the small of my back, and although I used many adve.tised remedies, I was unable to obtain reBet Being favorably impressed with What I read of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box and began their ute. They helped me from the first and it was riot long before I was cured. (From statement given in 1897.)

A PERMANENT CURE.

On June 19, 1906, Mr. Dehaven confirmed the above statemeht saying, ‘T haVe not had a return of kidney trouble since Doan’s Kidney PiJJs curCd me and am glad to re-lndoree them, and reiterate all I said in my fOrinbr statement."
