Ladoga Editor Visits Old Classmate In This County.

Sunday, August 22nd, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Dexter, of Union township, were visited by J. E. Warfel and wife and their 16-year-old daughaer, of Ladoga. Mr. Warfel is the editor of the Ladoga Leader, has been for the past twentyyears, and! he has been the superintendent of the Ladoga schools for the past twenty-three years. Some 28 or 30 years ago he and Mr. Dexter were schoolmates, and their families had never met until the visit of the Warfels to this county. Mr. Warfel is quite well known in cental Indiana, having done some county institute work and being a highly esteemed educator. His visit was a very pleasant one to both families and Mr. Warfel speaks of it as follows in the last week’s issue of his paper: About twenty-eight years ago Harvey J. Dexter was a student in the Ladoga Normal and those who were here at that time will remember him for he attended school for several terms and was one of the most popular students. He taught school for a few yedrs, then married a teacher and was in business for several years In Rensselaer. Ten years ago he bought an unimproved farm of 170 acres twelve miles north of Rensselaer. He has brought it up to a high condition of improvement and has made it the neatest, best kept and most attractive place in that part of the country. His oldest daughter, Miss Cora, is a teacher, but will enter Purdue University this fall tjO,take a scientific course.

REYNOLDS AND DONEGAN ARE BACK FROM LONDON.

Rensselaer Boy and His Wife Made Great Hit In Skating Stunts at the Palace Theatre. Earle Reynolds and his wife, Nellie Donegan, the world’s greatest roller skaters, arrived in Rensselaer Wednesday from their trip to London, England, where for ten weeks and five days they were the leading attraction at the Palace theatre, the leading vaudeville house in England, and wliere they performed their marvelous act before the royalty of Britain. Mr, and Mrs. Reynolds went at once to the home of his mother, Mrs. S. R. Nichols, where they will remain ipatiL Sunday afternoon, when they go to Chicago to be ready for their opening next week at the Majestic theatre. It would be impossible to give much of an idea about the volume of praise that the London and other English newspapers heaped upon this clever team of American artists, and the Era, the leading London theatrical paper, published/ an entire page of clippings from other papers in praise of them, all the critics agreeing that they are one of the best and most pleasing vaudeville team that ever appeared before an English audience. The Graphic is perhaps the leading London paper, and the July 15th issue had this to say of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds: “The display of dancing on skates given by Reynolds and Donegan is at once the most bewildering and artistic thing of its kind ever seen on the variety stage. It shows a rapture and grace of movement that appeals to one from sheer beauty, and the effect is all the more remarkable when one remembers the quite extraordinary technique and balance necessary to produce such effects. They are as perfectly at home upon their skates as Mme. Genee is in ballet shoes. They have mastered the skate as a great musician will master his instrument, and they exact from it every shade and tone of changing movement.” The season booking of Reynolds and Donegan in this country begins with the Majestic in Chicago, and includes all the leading theatres in the leading cities, and next year they are again to go to London, where they will be for ten weeks at the Palace theatre. They will also skate next year before the king and queen, h&ving already received their summons so to do. During the last year the Prince of Wales was twice in their audience. It will be joyous news to the old friends of Mr. Reynolds to hear that himself and wife have consented to present their act here Friday afternoon between 4 and 5 o’clock, at the armory, and that they will repeat it again Friday night between the hours of 8:45 and 9:40. No admission will be charged, the performance being entirely free. Admission, however, will be limited to the old friends of the Reynolds family and the new friends Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have made during their short visits here. As far as possible these friends are being notified by telephone. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds will appear in costum®, and Mr. Fred Phillips, the music dealer, has offered to place in the armory for the occasion his famous player piano, for which Mr. Reynolds has ordered two classical selections, and the music of itself will be a rare treat. Nellie Donegan will also play, being a talented musician as well as the greatest woman skater. The armory is donated for the occasion by the militia company.

A Reasonable Doubt.

An Irishman whose hand had been badly mangled in an accident entered the Boston City Hospital relief station in a great hurry. He stepped up to the man in charge and inquired: “Is this the relief station, sor?” “Yes. What is your name?” “Patrick O’Conner, sor.” "Are you married,” questioned the officer. "Yis, sor, but is this the relief station?” He was nursing his hand in agony. "Of course it is. How many children have, you?” “Eight, sor. But sure this is the relief station?” “Yes, it is," replied the official, growing a little angry at the man’s persistence. “Well,” said Patrick, "sure, an’ I was beginning to think that it might be the pumping station.”

HANGING GROVE.

Born, to Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Randle, Aug. 26, a son, and their second child. Threshing is completed with the exception of an odd job here and the r e. Monday, Sept. 6th, is Labor Day. There will be no mail delivered on rural routes. Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Johns and children visited with Mrs. Fulk and son, Clyde, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell and daughter, Lucile, visited with C. W. Bussell and family Sunday. Ray Montz came home from Illinois a few days ago, where he has been working the past season. The first frost of the season was seen here Wednesday morning. No damage was done to the crops. Mrs. Della Snowberger and children, of Yeoman, are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Jordan, this week. The Gardner threshing machine finished up the McCoysburg ring at M.' Ringeisen’s Tuesday night. They will pull back to Monon and load their outfit on the train to ship it home. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Foulks will move back to McCoysburg in a few days as soon as their property is vacated by S. L. Bussell. The latter will occupy his own property at the west end of town. R. V. Johns and F. L. Peregrine went to Monon Tuesday evening to the home coming. A man was killed the same evening in a balloon ascension, which marred the evening performances. W. C. Rose is nearing completion one of the finest, if not the best, barn in Hanging Grove. It is an entirely new pattern from anything built heretofore, and when finished will be a beauty. C. A. Lefler is the architect. Some chicken helped themselves to about four dozen of J. D. Miller’s chickens a few nights ago! Dr. Miller thinks he knows who the parties are, and has laid in the necessary supplies of material to keep away thieves. Chas. Stultz went to Rensselaer Tuesday to have his hand operated on a second time. Mr. Stultz works on the Monon section and has bruised his hand with the spade handle, which has made a very ugly sore. It will probably lay him up from work for several weeks. Anna and Ray Montz, who are home from Illinois on a vacation, were given a very pleasant surprise by about twenty young people Wednesday evening. Various games were played and light refreshments served and all departed for home about the mid-night hour knowing the evening had been very happily spent. We will put Walter Randle against anybody in the state for a rat catcher. Rats are quite plentiful this season, and especially so where there is much corn. Walter’s papa bought him a new wire trap and the very next morning the lad brought the trap to the house filled to the utmost with rats, little and big, snd when counted there were forty-eight. Rev. Scott SUponson delivered his last sermon at 1 McCoysburg Sunday night, after two years’ service. \The ministers will go to conference in a few days and get there new appointments. The preaching point at Parker has been transferred over to McCoysburg, and it is likely that the churchproperty at Parker will also be transferred to McCoysburg. The organ is practically a new one and- there are a number of good song books. Some care should be taken of the property right away.

Greenlee, where she has been staying for several weeks. We wonder if J. F. Scott, of Ringgold, Texas, still thinks the good old Rensselaer Republican is the only friend he has. It’s a Reformer. Quite a crowd from this locality went to Chicago Sunday, namely; Mr. T. G. Brown and Elmer, Frank, Grover and Stella and Lillie; S. H. Holmes and Bertha and Ethel; Misses Lucy and Katie Morgenegg, Dan Hopkins and J. Stanley.
