When “The Cry Baby” had its first metropolitan production some three seasons ago it was quickly recognized as the type of comedy drama that appeals strongest to the masses of the people, possessing irresistable charm of theme and story, and hence when Mercer Bros, decided to take it out for a road tour they in a measure anticipated the success it has achieved but its popularity with theatregoers as a whole was not fully anticipated and came as a surprise to the producers. This season they are presenting the piece on a more elaborate scale than ever before, giving careful and painstaking attention »o every detail that goes toward making a successful play in these days of big pro ductions. The play will be seen at the Ellis Theatre this evening, January 18th, with the popular young romantic actor, Chas. W. Guy, supported by a strong company of metropolitan players, in the title role. Mr. Guy has never had a part better suited to display his, ability and artistic talent than is offered him in the title role of "The Cry the same can be said of every member of the company. Special scenery is used for each of the four acts, and the settings are said to be stage pictures of elaborate nature.

BARKLEY TOWNSHIP.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1210.

REGARDING THE POLITICS OF KANKAKEE VALLEY REVIEW.

The. Republican Has Nothing To Do With the Decision of Its Publisher to Rnn a Democratic Paper. The Republican office by contract prints the Kankakee Valley Review, which has editions for both Wheatfleld, Jasper county, and Roselawn, Newton county. The editor of these papers is John Bowie. He has been a resident of Wheatfleld for several years and of Roselawn and Thayer for several years prior to the time he moved to Wheatfield. Mr. Bowie is a democrat, and was a delegate from Jasper county to the last democratic state convention when he helped nominate Thos. R. Marshall for governor. He is a Mason of high standing and a man of fine citizenship, with a record of honest business behind him that few men in Jasper county can equal. He is energetic, punctilious and gives the most precise attention to every detail of his business. He recently announced that he had decided to make his paper a democratic paper, stating that its pub-

lisher was a democrat and that he wanted to be in a position to give expression- to his political ideas. The declaration has proven very annoying to the Jasper County Democrat, which paper takes much space to berate the fact of a rival in the ranks. The Democrat is not looking for converts that might possibly secure any part of the legal printing. Mr. Bowie, as before stated, has his paper printed by contract,at this office. He has been able to get his work done in that manner at a less cost and with superior work than he could expect to with an office of his own quite modernly equipped. That is business. It may be recalled ■ « that for some time after the Jasper County Democrat was started and after it was owned by the present publisher it was printed by contract at the Journal office, on a-press owned and operated in a republican office. It objects, however, to. Mr. Bowie doing the same thing. The circulation of the Kankakee Valley Review is especially ' large in the Kankakee Valley, and from the strict sense of publicity, which is the aim in legal publications, there can be no doubt but that no other paper published could come nearer filling the requirements in. Wheatfleld, Kankakee, Keener and Walker townships, while the general circulation of the paper in the county is probably greater than was that of the Democrat in its earlier days much of the county legal printing found its way into that paper. Mr. Bowie’s action is entirely independent, however, and whatever policy he advocates or whatever he does in a t business way hag neither inspiration nor encouragement in this office. His paper and such work as he brings to this office are printed on contract just as we print a set of sale bills for a farmer without asking his politics, and that sale bill shall contain juSt what the farmer wants on it, just as Mr. Bowie’s paper shall contain just what he wants in it.

Former Jasperite Writes Interestingly From Washington.

Mrs. H. L. Hendricks in writing from Hoquiam, Wash;, to renew her subscription to the Republican says: “We wouldn’t think of being without the paper, for it is just like getting a long letter from there. I notice you folks are having some pretty cold weather back there. The weather here is certainly fine, just like spring back there. We have only had a week of what the people here call cold weather, but we thought it . was just fine. The thermomefor registered 8 above zero the coldest day. But the weather is all that we likd about the country. There is scarcely any farming done here. Lumbering is the chief occupation. There f are 18 large mills here on Gray’s Harbor. We are going tomorrow to Aberdeen to see a boat that carries 7*800,000 feet of lumber. I expect that Seems like a big lot of lumber but some of the boats here carry even more. Sometimes the boats have a hard time getting out to sea, as there are a number of bars in the bay and it is hard to get the heavily laden vessels over them. We are 26 miles from the ocean. Aberdeen is 3 miles from Hoquiam, it is some larger and a better business town. Our boys both work- at Aberdeen in a large wholesale grocery house. Mr. Hendricks works in one of the lumber mills here.” It will be remembered that Mr. Hendricks and family moved to Washington from the W. V. Porter farm about a year ago. It is no economy to buy-- cheap canned goods; perhaps you have found this out. Our honey-pack “Fayette” tender Bweet corn and “Red Robin” early June peas at two cans for 25c is cheapest after all. —Home Grocery. Woman loves a clear, rosy complexion.

Company K Got the Feathers; Company B Ate the Chickens.

Samuel E. Yeoman and Abraham Simpson served in the 51st Indiana Regiment of Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. Sam was in Co. B and Abe was in Co. I. One night a number of soldiers in Sam’s company went out foraging and brought home a number of chickens. This was inviolation of an order, and they knew it, so they went up to the other end,of the regiment to pick the chickens and the feathers were scattered along behind the tents of the boys of Co. K. The next day a great fuss was made about the foraging and all the denying that Abe and his comrades could do was not sufficient to make the colonel believe that they were not the chicken thieves and as a result they were all placed under arrest and required to give a bond. Sam and his comrades were eating chicken and chuckling over the joke. Abe can’t see the fun in it to this day, although the act was committed almost a half century ago.
