RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1910.

INDIANAPOLIS BLOCKADED WITH SNOW.

Worst Storm in Three Years ?led Up Street Cars and kept Many From Reaching Their Homes. While Rensselaer got only about two or three inches of snow Wednesday afternoon and night, Indianapolis and the surrounding country had a fall of 9 inches, which drifted and blockaded the streets, stopping the cars from running for several hours and preventing many people who had left their homes in the evening from getting back. A force of 100 men with 33 snowfighting machines worked all night to clear the streets so that cars could run and theatre crowds either waited or walked. There was a great demand for cabs but cabmen fihally refused to make the' trips in consideration of their exhausted horses/ The interurban lines were forced to abandon, schedules and on top of all the trouble the weather man prophesied zero temperature. Trains from the south were late getting to Rensselaer owing to the difficulty they had in plowing through the snow drifts. The Star says the storm is the worst Indianapolis has had in three years. In Rensselaer and vicinity very little snow fell until about 4'o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Then it came down briskly for some time. But little if any over two inches fell during the afternoon and night and the cold wavq did not arrive as forecasted. Today flurries of light snow have fallen and the prospects of much , more seem quite certain. The weatherman forecasts more snow tonight and tomorrow and we may get within the next 24 hours what we failed to get Wednesday.

Some New Library Books and About Them.

Pragmatism, a new name for some Old ways of thinking, by William James. This book presents pragmatism as a philosophy applicable to the concrete facts and experiences of every day life. The test pragmatism applies to any speculation of theory ,1s its practical consequences to the ordinary man if It be true. , Historic Indiana, by Julia H. Levering. Not, so much a history as a graphic exposition of the material, political and social development of the state. The lives of the pioneers and the early methods of travel have particularly appealed to the author. A district contribution to western history. f The boyhood of Lincoln, by Elanor Atkinson. Reminiscences of Dennis Hanks, Lincoln’s cousin and boyhood playmate, at the age of 90. Contributes little that is new, but is interesting in itself as a glimpse of pioneer life, skilfully reproduced in the vernacular. Mrs. Atkinson was formerly a Rensselaer girl. The life of Alice Freeman Palmer, by G. H. Palmer. A history of the private and public life of the onetime president of Wellesley College, and dean of women of the University of Chicago, by her husband, Prof. PaJmer, of Harvard University. The life itself was full of inspiration and accomplishment, the story of the life is characterized by dignity, restraint, sympathy and unusual charm. Ignaz Jan Paderewski, E. A. Baughan. A good brief biography, the first half of which presents a connected narrative of his life, the last half with his personal traits, ,his views on music and teaching, his characteristics and standing as ;a pianist and as a composer. - Father and Son, by E. W. Gosse. A record of the author’s childhood and youth in a home where the most autte*e Puritanism prevailed; of his father, a scientist of distinction, devoted first of all to the religious bringing up of his son. Tells of the development of the boy’s individuallity, and final break between father and son, between the "frigid religion of the past and the liberality of the present, which sacrificed neither the love of the father nor the respeet of the son. Dyspepsia is America’s curse. Burdock Blood Bitters conquers dyspepsia every time. It drives out lmpurities, tones the stomach, restores perfect digestion, normal jtfeight, and good health. Z:..

W. J. BRYAN DECLARES FOD COUNTY OPTION.

Commoner Says the Democratic Party In lowa Must Be Divorced From the Liquor Interests. W. J. Bryan has come out flat-footed for county option in Nebraska. He takes a step in advance of this and declares democrats must divorce themselves from the liquor interests, because an alliance with the saloon generally can be regarded as an alliance with vice. The saloon, he says, is constantly used to debauch politics and to prevent the intelligent consideration of public questions. The liquor interests, he declares, made themselves odious at the last session of the Nebraska legislature by preventing the submission of the initative and referendum. Mr. Bryan declares the right of the government to regulate the sale of liquor cannot be denied, and the right to make the country the unit of regulation is just as plain. Mr. Bryan’s pronouncement, which will appear as an editorial in the forthcoming issue of his Commoner, under the heading, “The Liquor Question in Nebraska,” is regarded there as epoch-making, and is almost certain to split the democratic in Nebraska at least,and probably to deprive him of its leadership. The significant parts of the statement follow: “The saloon—not every one, but as a rule—is in alliance with vice. It is constantly used to debauch politics and to prevent the intelligent consideration of public questions. The liquor interests interfere in all matters that may even remotely affect their interests. They made themselves odious at the last session of the Nebraska legislature. “The democrats had a majority in both branches for the first time in the state’s history, and the splendid record of the legislature has but one blot on it, and that blot is pat there by the liquor interests^ “They controlled enough of the senators to prevent the submission of the initative and referendum. “They were willing to deny to tile people of the state the right to express themselves on any question rather than risk the uke of the initiative and referendum for the submission of the liquor question. Insolence, arrogance "and impudence cannot go further. “The democratic party cannot afford to act as the mouthpiece of the liquor interests. It can have nothing in common with the selfish, mercenary and conscienceless crusade that the liquor interests have organized against the home and the state, againßt private virtue and public morals.*-^

Every Person Should Understand Just What Our Horse Sale Is.

The horse sale which the Rensselaer Commercial Club is trying to make a regular monthly feature is organized with a view to bringing seller and buyer or horses together. It has decided on the first Wednesday of each month as the time for persons having horses or mules for sale to bring them here and meet with buyers from the leading markets of the country as well as with local buyers. It is hoped that this day will become an institution recognized by horse breeders and farmers generally for miles around and that they' will come to consider the first Wednesday of each month as their day to congregate in Rensselaer and meet other horse raisers and buyers. Probably it may also become a day for general selling and trading and that other stock and implements, buggies, etc., will be brought in that day f oF sale. There is no expense of sale. The Commercial Club nor none of its members derive any benefit from it, save the satisfaction of bringing people to Rensselaer. The men with horses for sale and buyers are the beneficiaries. It is a market day for buyers and sellers and should attract a great erowd of farmers here. The next sale day is Wednesday, March 2d, and after that the first Wednesday fa each month. For flrst-ctkss latfndry see C. W. Rhoades. Bundles called for and delivered. Satisfaction guaranteed. »-
