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.
