L. Leopold to Retire From Mercantile Business in Wolcott.

Louie Leopold, who for a number of years has been engaged in the general merchantile business in Wolcott, and one of the most progressive merchants in northwestern Indiana, has decided to close out his business and remove to Hammond, where he Will be associated with Kaufman & Wolf, proprietors of the great “Lion” store, Mr. Wolf being his brother-in-law. Mr. Leopold has inaugurated a great sale, using a double page advertisement in the Wolcott Enterprise. The “Lion” store will establish another store in Hammond and Mr. Leopold, who Is an experienced and successful businessman, will be placed in charge of it. There is no doubt that his success will be abundant in Hammond, where great opportunities are open for the able man. Mr. Leopold is to be congratulatedon the change. Harry Green and eompany, the original and always interesting Eli and Jane actorß, arrived in Rensselaer this morning from Remington, where they played to a packed house last night. The opening night at Camdeta also safcr the house packed. The columns of the Republican have been so full of Eli and Jane for the past two weeks that every one should know that this is the last season of this clever little comedy, which Mr. Green and company have made so popular with Rensselaer theatre goers, and it is probable that the house' will be packed, first floor and balcony. Mr. Green has no thought of going out of the show business nor of omitting Rensselaer from his annual visiting places but he will come here earlier than ever next summer to begin rehearsals for an entirely new play. It is with much Tegret that Mr. Green and company will cast Eli and Jane aside, for it has been a winner, one of the kind that people went to see every time Harry brought it to town and it has brought fortune as well as prominence to its sponsor. But Mr. Green believes the new play whiqh Le will have for next season has a newness and originality that will make it a great winner. He will advertise it extensively this year while playing Eli and Jane for the last time and then make practically the same cities next year that he does this. The name Harry Green is a business getter and the successor to Eli and Jane should be a winner if the play is good enough to have his approval. Tonight at the Ellis <4£heatre Eli and Jsne appears for the last time in Rensselaer
