Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 December 1908 — Page 3 Advertisements Column 6 [ADVERTISEMENT]

—< A specialist from Chicago was berg several hours Sunday and operated on three tonsilitis sufferers, removing the tonsils. He also removed an adenoidal growth from the post nasal passage of a 15 year old boy. In addition to these operations he made several other examinations. As he was only here about four hours he was kept on the jump, but the modem surgeon works with a vim and accomplishes his task with as much ease as a butcher cuts up the carcass of a cow in his shop. The only certain relief from quinsy and tonsilitis seems to be to have the tonsils removed and while there is considerable pain and inconvenience from the operation it is small compared to the menacing danger of having them retained after they become diseased.

J. V. Lesh, who had a big publie sale and went from this county to his father’s farm near Menominee, Wis., last spring, Is again back in old Jasper, having arrived here with his household goods Saturday, and his wife and children having preceded him a few days. He will occupy the Henry Grow farm of more than 400 acres 4 miles north of Rensselaer, and will raise a great deal of stock. His father, J. M. Lesh also accompanied him home. Mrs. Lash was very much dissatisfied in Wisconsin and the return to this state is largely made on her account. Mr. Lesh had a very good crop there and thinks there are some fine land bargains in that country and he rather expects to later invest in a farm there. He will not get pos-* session of the Grow farm until after Tom Brusnahan, the present tenant there moves off, and In the mean time he will live with his brother Dan in Barkley township.

John Bruner left this morning for Bartlesville, Okla., and he is quite apt to spend the winter in that state Or some other place in the south. Bartlesville is not very far from Hallett, Okla., where several Rensselaer people purchased lots about a year ago. Mr. Bruner was one of the original investors there, but after he made his trip of investigation be found that the salesmen had decieved the buyers here by claiming that they bad already received a bill of lading for the shipment of a few car loads of gas pipe, when they had not contracted for the purchase of a foot of pipe. So John quietly gave all the purchasers the tip that it was a good thing to leave alone and it is probable few if any" ever completed the payments. Mr. Bruner’s judgment was that the location of the town and its natural surroundings might cause It to enjoy a boom but the fact that the agents had used deceit in the sale made it look very dubious. It will be remembered that the agents were doing a land office business in Rensselaer when J. Frank Warren arrived here from Oklahoma City and proclaimed them frauds, and that the Republican published Mr. Warren’s opinion about the Hallett prospects and thereby arousegd the Wrath of the agents and created some skepticism among the buyers. Of course, if there was going to be any thing real good pulled off at Hallett, we wanAd Rensselaer people to get in on the fact that two railroads crOesed there did not seem sufficient reason to warrant investment, and we were inclined to think that if there was any real good thing in sight there, people closer at home were going to gobble it up, and Rensselaer people would not learn of it until it was all over. This matter is history now, so Is the Kellog-Canada deal, but it is just about time for another set of land fakirs to drop in on us and it is a good idea to tighten the strings on the weasel skin or at least to decide to thoroughly investigate any proposition that is offered before we put any money into it Local real estate men are more apt to put you wise to all the “value received” propositions there are, , and glib tongued strangers should be left alone.
