TONIGHT’S PROGRAM '& ■■ . PICTURES. The Egret Hunter. ■ . ■. if” r SONG. Diana Dear, by Miss Myrtle Wright.

Everett Leach, of Hammond, is in Rensselaer today. Now is the time to get in on the combination suit and Oxford sale at The G. E. Murray Co. Prosecuting Attorney Fred Longwell was in the city on business yesterday and today. Remember we always have bargains in footwear. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block. Rev. E. M. Kuonen and family went to Wheatfield today to attend the funeral of Horace Marble tomorrow. 1 The K. O. K. A. base ball team went to Remington today to play the team ther'e. The Rensselaer battery is Clark and Padgett. Every woman should try a pair of the Richardson Seamless shoes. They do away with the aching feet, which are so common this hot weather. Sold and warranted at Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block. A new 110 horse power boiler is being installed at the electric light plant to take the place of one of the old boilers installed about 20 years ago. The new boiler weighs twenty tons and it is a difficult job to put it in place. The total eclipse of the sun scheduled for today failed to materialize. The story of the forthcoming eclipse was published in nearly all the papers of the country, the Republican included. The position of the moon at the present time makes an eclipse an impossibility. The hoax was evidently started by some newspaper short of copy. J. M. Pierson writes from Muskogee, Okla., that the condition of his wife, who has the scarlet fever, shows but little change. He encloses a clipping from a paper of that city giving an account of an oil well which was shot the day before in the Muskogee field. As soon as the drill struck the sand, oil began flowing at the rate of 70 barrels an hour, or 1,680 barrels every 24 hours. Warm weather requires cool footwear. We have tennis shoes, canvas shoes, elk skin shoes, all kinds of Oxfords and almost every class of shoes which produce that feeling of comfort and ease. We will do all in our power to relieve your tired, aching feet during these long, hot days. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block. The News has been invited more than once to join the Indiana Associated Weeklies, an organization of noncounty seat papers. The main object of this association is to obtain a share of the legal printing which at present is monopolized almost exclusively by the county seat organs. Its purpose is laudable, but its chances for securing the desired end decidedly unpromising. As long as political parties exist there will be political organs, whose influence with the legislature will outweigh that of the newspapers having no claim on those who have been elected to that body. A man who would go back on the paper that has loyally supported him-, would be an ingrate, and how could he favor that paper by dividing its legal patronage. No, dearly beloved of the fourth estate, we regret’that the prospects are not more hopeful for a place at the official pie counter, but we are unable to see even a chance for gathering up the crumbs under existing conditions. There might be some show for the Associated Weeklies, if the legislature could be induced to kick itself.—Monon News. .

Grandson Is Born as Horace Marble Passes Away.

The Lake County Times notes the fact that while Horace Marble was breathing his last at Wheatfield, a little son was being ushered into the home of his daughter in Crown Point, Mrs. Ruth Salisbury, wife of Dr. Allen L. Salisbury. The Times also says: “Mr. Marble was formerly one of Crown Point’s - wealthiest men and most prominent republican office holders. He was auditor of Lake county for three years and had a marvelous acquaintance. After retiring from office, he also retired from politics and settled down on his ranch near Wheatfield. Besides his wife, Mrs. Marcia Marble, are left four children as follows: Mrs. J. Wesley Ott, Mrs. Bernice Clark, Mrs. A. L. Salisbury and his only son, Ward Marble.”

Traction Company Losing No Time in Getting Busy.

The Indiana Northwestern Traction company people are not losing any time in getting down to business on their line for which a franchise was granted them by the Hammond council last week. A gang of surveyors is at work on Fayette street and Calumet avenue and headquarters are to be established in Hammond in a very short time. A store room has already been secured on Sibley street near Sohl street, and officers of the company are out daily. Mayor Becker has signed the franchise thus removing the last obstacle as far as the city is concerned.

John Sharp, Early Resident Of Rensselaer, Dead.

We have been handed a t copy of the Gardner, Kans., Gazette, containing the following account of the death of John Sharpe, who lived in Rensselaer from 1852 to 1865. He was a brother-in-law of'Mrs. Hester Hoyes, of Rensselaer. John Sharpe was born in Bronston, Lincolnshire, England, August 13,1828, and died at his home in Gardner, Kansas, June 3, 1910, after an illness of almost four weeks. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Hoyes May 17, 1852. The following year Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe left England and landed in Rensselaer, Indiana, July 4th, 1853. Here they lived until the fall of 1865, whfen they moved to Kansas and located on a farm near Monticello. From Monticello, they moved to Gardner township in 1870, and lived on a farm until November, 1873, when they moved into town and lived here until the time of his death. Mr. Sharpe was one of the old settlers of this county, and was well known throughout the county. He was postmaster of Gardner during Cleveland’s first administration, and also served a short time during his second administration. He also served a short time as assistant postmaster while J. B. Ward was postmaster. Up until his last illness Mr. Sharpe had been hale and hearty for a man of his advanced years. While over eighty year? of age, Mr. Sharpe had never used a cane until a few months before his death. About four months ago he suffered a severe stroke of paralysis and from this he never recovered. On account of his advanced age, no hopes were had for his recovery and when the end came at 11:40 o’clock Friday evening, it was not unexpected. The funeral services were held Sunday morning at 11 o’clock from the Methodist church at this place. Rev. Pasley, of that church, had charge of the services. Mr. Sharpe s grandsons acted as pall bearers. Besides a wife, Mr. Sharpe leaves four children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Mr. Sharpe was the father of five children—two sons and three daughters. All of them survive him with the exception of George, who died a little over a year ago. The children who survive him are S. L. Sharpe, Mrs. C. H. Everly and Mrs. J. M. Cramer, of this place, and Mrs. Mary Patch, of Gresham, Ore.

Fire Destroys Elevator At Town Near Lafayette.

The Crabbs-Reynolds-Taylor Grain company elevator at Ash Grove, a small village ten miles north of Lafayette on the Monon railroad, was destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The loss is $22,000. The fire started in the cob room and was caused by spontaneous combustion. The elevator was valued at $20,000, and was practically a new structure. It had a capacity of 50,000 bushels of grain, but there was only about 4,000 bushels of wheat, oats and corn in the building, and valued at $2,000. The building and contents were partially covered by insurance. The Are department at Battle Ground was called, and with the help of a bucket brigade, managed to save a few other buildings in the village. The elevator will be rebuilt at once.

When a Man Marries, by Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart. A dinner party of eight, planned by sympathizing friends to distract a young artist on the anniversary of his divorce, is quarantined on account of the sudden discovery that the butler has smallpox. The mysteries and love affairs which com_?l!®ate their ten days’ confinement in a New York house make a diverting tale along farce-comedy lines. The Inner Shrine. A story of the reformed life in New York city of an American woman whose reckless Paris career has resulted in her husband’s loss of fortune and suicide. “A striking novel, although highly artificial and even tricky. Its chief merits are cleverness of invention and dramatic effectiveness.” The Foreigner, by Ralph Connor. My Lady of the South, by Randall Parrish. \ History of the Novel, by F. M. Warren. Jewish Fairy Tales and Fables, by Aunt Naomi. Of these fourteen well told stories, the majority are based on parables of the Talmud and the Midrash.

The ingenious tale of a young man who finds himself in an insane asylum with all memory of his past life blotted out. His efforts, ultimately successful through the aid of a French alienist, to identify himself and discover his past furnish many unusual experiences and complications, which are handled with considerable skill.

Gary Camel Caravan Alarms.

“Allah, Allah! R-r-r-um! Allah,, r-r-um! Allah, Allah!” This is not a new college yell, but many of the inhabitants of Gary Tuesday thought it was something of that kind. The yell came from the throats of several score of oriental workmen who had been released from a day’s labor in the big steel mills, and who, as they turned into Broadway, were: amazed at the sight of a procession, of some five hundred sheiks, with their ■ Bedouins, camels, Berber attendants, and gun carriers, all in desert accoutrement, marching through thestreet, with the solemnity of a genuine - caravan of the Sahara. Magic and romance, however, were smitten when the Mohammedan steel workers learned that this was an artificial caravan (the camels being the • genuine article)of a Chicago moving picture concern on its w*ay to the Gary sand dunes to get up a series of Jilms. showing a real Imitation attack of nomad bedouins on a peaceable cara--van passing through the desert. .
