Porter still lives and with very little chance save that she constantly grows weaker. Her death has been almost daily expected for two weeks or more and the tenacity with which she clings to life is very remarkable.

Mrs. Jesse Eldridge arrived here Sunday from Geddefc, S. Dak., to which place herself and husband moved last spring. Her health has been quite poor lately and an examination was made by a Chicago physician Sunday in consultation with her local doctor. Mrs. Eldridge will remain here for some time. , Leonard Adams is still confined in the padded cell at the county jail and will have to remain there until room is found for him at the asylum. The application for his acceptance has been acted upon favorably but there is no room. “Shorty” has lucid moments and after talking in a rational manner for a time he suddenly starts off with a barnyard medley and imitates chickens, ducks and turkeys. He carried on quite a little last night and it. will be a good thing when he can be taken to Longcliffe and the treatment on him begun.

Sunday it was cloudy in the morning but brightened up in the afternoon and was clear during the night, but this morning a drizzle-drazzje set in that looked good for all day. There la never much doubt, however, but what the fall in Indiana, especially October and November, will be mighty nice weather and as soon as we get past these winding up equinoxlal storms we will expect some good, clear weather.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAT, SEPTEMBER 26, 1919.

HORSE SHOW LAST THREE DATS OF THIS WEEK.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday Will Witness Second Annual Event— Look Over the Program. The program for the horse show is again published in this issue of the Republican. One or two alterations have been made since it last appeared. A sweepstakes prize of $lO has been provided for the best light' harness colt of either sex under 9 months of age, also it is stipulated that in the lady riding and driving contests, the prizes are for the ability the ladles show the handling of the horses, while the animals themselves nor the rigs are not taken into consideration. No special attractions have been provided, as a number wished to confine the attention to the entries in the horse show as much as possible. It is expected that about every owner of good horses and colts in Jasper county will be represented at the show and that the Increasing interest in superior breeding In the county and adjoining counties will draw a large crowd to inspect the stock. The fine success with which the show was inaugurated last year and the splendid entries and winners of that time will furnish impetus to the present show. That there are some of the best draft stallions and brood mares In this section of Indiana that there are in the state there is no doubt and they and their products will be here cn exhibition. Farmers and stock raisers will want to see and examine these and witness the giving of the premiums. Manager Harmon has arranged a fine base ball program, which hag been previously mentioned, and now be has arranged for Boswell to remain for an extra-game on Sunday. The admission to these games will be 25 cents each.

Boys’ Band Will Give a Dance at Armory Friday Night.

The boys’ band, of Rensselaer, having completed the concert season, except for the playing It will do during the horse show, the last three days of this week, will give a dance at the armory Friday night. The music will be furnished by the Braun orchestra and the band. Good music and a fine dance is guaranteed. The boys have done splendidly under the direction of Mr. Braun and deserve a lairge crowd at the dance. Tickets will sell for $1 per couple.

Adams Won Ont in Suit To Collect on Scudder Note.

Marion I. Adams was the victor in the suit brought by South Bend bankers to compel him to settle for 1250 given by him to Scudder, the Hamilton Life Insurance Co. man. Scudder seems to have been a trimmer end his methods were far from honest or sincere. The jury was to determine whether or not the bank was a good-faith purchaser and the jury decided that it was not. Notice of appeal was given.

Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, To Speak Wednesday Evening.

Don't forget that Senator Moses E. Clapp, of Minnesota, is to address the public from a republican standpoint at the opera house Wednesday evening of this week.

STATE VS. COMMISSIONERS AND BADER IS BEGUN.

Judge Darroch, of Kentland, Is Hear* Ing the Case and a Number of Lawyers Are Retained! / -I < The case of the State of Indiana vs. Clinton L. Bader and the commissioners of Jasper county, viz. John F. Pettit, Fred Waymire, and Charles T. Denham, was started this Monday morning, shortly-before noon. William Darroch, of Kentland, is sitting as special judge. _ The is the case brought by an affidavit by Prosecuting Attorney Longwell, after the grand Jury had refused to indict the commissioners on the evidence furnished them.- The defendants are charged with having altered a public document, and the specific paper is a bid submitted by Bader for the construction of a bridge over the Howe , ditch. The allegation is that they altered the bld, raising the figures from $1,240 to $1,400. Mr. Bader and the commissioners are not acting jointly In the defense, he being represented by Attorney Williams, of Rensselaer; Attorney Glazebrook, of Knox, and Attorney Stels, of South Bend. Attorney Halleck, of Rensselaer, and Attorney Sellers, of Monticello, represent the commissioners. Prosecuting Attorney Longwell, of Brook, is representing the state. The’jury was being examined today. It is probable that the case will not consume much time.

Long Grade at Burk’s Bridge Completed by the Contractor.

Contractor Ben McColly Friday noon completed the long grade on the north side of the river at the Burk’s bridge, and the work looks good and will apparently overcome the long bridge proposition. The grade is 525 feet in length, just that many feet of bridge having been disposed of. The bridge was let down by sawing off the piling and the grade constructed right over the heavy timbers. Special attention was given to the weak spots, including the old channel by doubling up the heavy planks and in some places making them three or four thick. Three feet of earth and a foot or fourteen inches of gravel constitutes the grade, which is 16 feet wide on the surface and consequently about 20 feet wide at the base. While it is probable that some repair work will have to be made in the grade as time goes on, it looks like a very sensible way of repairing the long approach to the present channel and that Mr. McColly gave careful attention to the specifications of the contract there can be no doubt. The writer visited it a few days since and inspected it thoroughly. Mr. McColly has done more than he was bound to do. He has had Alex. Hurley in charge of the dumping and leveling of the earth and gravel and had instructed him not to stop with the bare number of loads required if more would make a better road. The result is a solid grade that will be a big improvement over the old frame ramshackle. That the planks may rot and let the grade down in spots after a good while is probable but it would seem that the repair of the grade would be much cheaper than the repair of the bridge. If it proves a success the commissioners will do well to have the south approach similarly altered. Probably in time a 100-foot span steel bridge will be all that the river at that point will require, which will be a big improvement over the 1,500 foot bridge that was required before the dredge was

completed. i On the north side of the river and the east side of the grade, a ditch has been dug that will conduct much of the water to the river before it reaches the grade and it is probable that a similar ditch wUI be dug on the west side of the grade. The contract Mr. McColly had was for $1,785. He will probably make some money at that figure. That is what a man is in the qontract business for, but the job was advertised two. different times and was open to any responsible party that wanted to bid. That he has done his work well we feet confident and that the plan will prove successful we also have great hopes.

“Frenchy,” as a well known newsboy on the Monon is called, made the trip Sunday on the Chicago excursion and on the return trip fell off the train at the 75th street curve. It was not learned how badly he was damaged.

“A Royal Slave” Royal Stamp of Success.

Clarence Bennett's attractions are so well and favorably known in Rensselaer' that it is with great pleasure Mr. Ellis, manager of the Ellis Theatre, announces the coming of one of their standard successes, “A Royal Slave,” which is booked to play here Saturday afternoon and evening, Oct. Ist. The author, who wrote that other phenomenal success, “The Holy City,” which we also hope to see this season, has chosen for the action of the piece the most romantic period in the history of Mexico, the brief reign of the unfortunate Maximilian. The character of Aguila, the descendent of the Montezumas, the last, of a race now extinct, is a poetic creation which appealsc to our imagination. The other characters of a long and interesting cast are equally strongly drawn. The specialties introduced by the comedy element are strictly in keeping with the atmosphere of the surroundings and the bit of sword play in the duel scene, second act, is as pretty an exhibition as one could witness. Remember the date, Saturday, Oct. Ist, matinee and night. Seats on sale at Jessen’s.
