Since Harry Green has been starring in Eli and Jane he has had the play rewritten each ggason and each season sees the good clever comedy with a new coat of action but the same name. Mr. Green has this year surrounded himself with an exceptionally strong cast and is carrying special scenery with the show which is all new every year. The public wants good things to be amused with and Harry Green has it with Eli and Jane. It’s a good thing, something doing all the time. This will be the last performance in Rensselaer, Saturday, Aug. 13th.

An exchange asks, “What has become of the man who used to Hght his pipe with a coal from the oook stove?” has been answered by the Columbia Herald as follows: “It’s easy enough. The old man has passed over the river at the age of 98; his son is ruffing a ten-cent cigar, and the grandson rolls his own cigarette's and lights them with a popping match—but he’ll never see 98.”

Gus Grieger, of Laporte county, candidate on the Republican ticket for joint representative from Porter and Laporte, expects to make the race for speaker when he is elected.

PROPOSITION TO REFUSE TO DRAW THE SALARY.

Babcock Thinks It Would Be Great For Couneilmdn, but Democratic Congressman Don’t Do It. We were downright sure that Babcock would suggest that the present councilmen make good on those resolutions by refusing to draw the salaries and the proposition was made last week just as we expected it would be. Did you ever hear of a democrat paying anything back into the treasury that he had once extracted. An instance of illustration is at hand. One of the present democratic congressmen in Indiana is Henry A. Barnhart, of Rochester, the 13th district. He was elected to succeed Abraham L. Brick, republican, who died during his term of office. After Brick’s death and before Barnhart was inducted into office, salary to the amount of $4,500 accrued. Mr. Barnhart did not earn it, he had never done a thing for it, nor written an official letter nor seconded a motion, but he went right down to Washington and drew the money. Every republican paper in his district called the attention of the people to it, just wouldn’t let him off. He was told he could put it back in the treasury if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to; he just froze on to it like a good democrat always does. That was, to be sure, a private action of Mr. Barnhart’s, but the democrats of his district made it their act by renominating him with a big whoop and indorsing his administration, which included the taking of the $4,500 which he had not earned. With this instance close at hand, it required a lot of nerve, yes, real gall, to suggest that the Rensselaer councilmen each turn back S3O a year of their meager salaries. The councilmen were nominated at separate conventions from the one

Rensselaer Young Lady Dies In Hammond of Typhoid Fever.

Lon Kiser, clerk at the Home Grocery, received word at noon today that his sister, Miss Nora Kiser, had died this morning of typhoid fever, after an illness of only two weeks. Deceased had been living in Hammond for several months. She was the daughter of Mrs. Sylvester Galbraith. Lon went to Hammond this afternoon and will have the body brought back to Rensselaer. The funeral services will be held at the Baptist church. The time will be announced later. Eli and Jane this season carries a brand new company of carefully selected dramatic artists, vaudeville specialties together with all special scenery and electrical effects for the entire production. It’s got plenty of comedy, rural simplicity and the serious and better side of life filled to overflowing with all that is unique, bright, odd, unusual and startling. Eli and Jane are merry mixers of mirthful, musical comedy. It’s all blended into one long holiday. Something doing all the time.

that adopted the resolutions and are not seriously bound by them. Great joker is Babcock and so remarkably “consistent In his inconsistency, that his argument carries about as much weight as a paper and is just as easily punctured.

First Republican Meeting Held In Rensselaer This Afternoon.

Congressman E. D. Crumpacker, District Chairman A. J. Hickey, John E. Reed and E. H. Neal dropped into Rensselaer this morning and an informal meeting was held in the court house, the political outlook being discussed. Mr. Reed is the republican candidate for State auditor. They have teen holding similar meetings in other parts of the district and report the outlook for republican success very bright. We are the only firm in Rensselaer that sells pure cider vinegar of as high a grade as 45 grains. Six gallons of our vinegar Is equal to 7 gallons of that sold by others, but we sell it at the same price as the lower grade.
