Samuel Michael, of Logansport, who recently murdered his farm tenant in Carroll county, will be tried in Logansport. The Delphi Herald says that he will be tried by his neighbors and friends and that he is just as good as acquitted now. At the time the murder was committed it seemed to be unprovoked and Michael seemed to have gone to the farm in a bad mood and to have taken the life of his tenant when raging with anger. It is claimed that Logansport newspapers have prejudiced the people in his favor and hinted that there will be no trouble there in finding a jury that will acquit him.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1910.

SPEAKING TONIGHT BY CRUMPACKER AND MOUNT.

Congressman Will Answer Questions Propounded by Jasper County • Democrat—AU Should Hear. What will probably be the best and biggest meeting of the campaign will be held at the opera house in Rensselaer tonight. , Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker and Hon. Finley P. Mount will be the speakers. The former arrived in Rensselaer this morning, coming from Battle Ground where he spoke last night. Mr. Mount arrived on the 10:55 train from the north, having been holding meetings, in the northern part of the state. He has spoken already in 56 counties of the state and wants to gpt in as many more as he can before the campaign closes. He is a candidate for attorney-general and has made a study of state issues and will have something to say about the economy so profusely talked by Governor Marshal during the time he was a candidate. He wishes to show that the democrats have not only failed absolutely to adopt any measures of economy but that they have spent more money in almost every department of the state and have failed to pay a single cent on the state debt, while Governor Hanly reduced it $407,000; Governor Durbin cut it down $3,491,000, and Governor M6unt reduced it $1,733,000. Mr. Mount has some other figures to show that democratic management of the state has not fulfilled the platform and the speech-making of the 1908 campaign and he wishes to prove that democracy comes very expensive to the state. Judge Crumpacker will speak with his characteristic frankness on all issues and it will be found by his auditors that he is thoroughly acquainted with all affairs concerning national legislation and also allied with those measures that will assure the uninterrupted progress of the republican party in carrying out the will of the people. He will show what congress has done for the people of America, will give his opinion of the tariff measure adopted by the Special session of the legislature and will show why it is calculated to assure continued prosperity. He will also show Mr. Peterson’s connection with many of the great trusts and answer fully and frankly all the questions asked of him by the local democratic newspaper. It is hoped that Editor Babcock, who wants these questions answered, will come out and hear the reply and that his democratic supporters will also be a part of the audience. Let there be a big crowd. Bring the women, that they may also hear these speakers.

One of Peterson’s Tariff Arguments.

People who heard John B. Peterson’s speech in Rensselaer will remember that he said the following: “Steel rails were reduced 50 per cent and now is the time for you plain people and farmers and workingmen to lay in your winter supply of steel rails.” They may be interested to know also how there came to be a tariff of any kind on iron ore. The tariff is 25 cents a ton. - In the lower house iron ore was placed on the free list, Cannon favoring it, and such stalwarts as Payne, the author of the bill, and Dalzell, of Pittsburg, voting for it. But when it reached the senate the 25 cent duty was placed on it, and 18 democrats voted for the tariff, while only 10 voted to have it on the free list. Probably Mr. Peterson can explain why the democrats supported a tariff which he so roundly criticises. Mr. Peterson makes his campaign wit i the belief that his hearers are ignorant andr he is mistaken. He is proving that what he don’t know about the tariff question would make a big book.

JOHN CHAMBERLIN KILLED BY CARS IN MICHIGAN.

Former Well Known Rensselaer Citizen Met Sudden Death Tuesday in Benton Harbor. John Chamberlin, brother-in-law of Samuel E. Yeoman, and for many years a resident of Marion township, residing on a farm southwest of Rensselaer and also for some time a resident of this city, was killed at Benton Harbor, Mich., Tuesday by being run over by the cars. No particulars were received about his death. Mr. Chamberlin and family left Rensselaer about twelve years ago and located at Benton Harbor. They spent two or three winters in the south and stopped off in Rensselaer to visit old friends while returning from there about four or five years ago. __ __ He was a carpenter by trade and worked at.the trade some after going to' Benton Harbor. The funeral will be held at Benton Harbor Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clbck. Mr. and Mrs. Yeoman will attend, leaving here Thursday moring.

Robert Parker Miles Lectured To Good Audience Tuesday.

Robert Parker Miles, the first attraction on the Epworth League lecture course, gave a splendid lecture Tuesday evening at the M. E. church. His subject’ was “Tallow Dips,” in which he portrayed such characters as George Francis Train, the one-time multi-millionaire and New York philanthropist; Thomas Edison, the inventor; Gladstone, the “grand old man” of England; Pope Leo XIII, and others. By his impersonations of these characters, he presented them to his audience in a vivid manner. His portrayal of Gladstone will not soon be forgotten. ’ Some time ago, Mr. Miles visited an old colonial mansion on the Hudson river, and in a corner of the attic, the guide pointed out to him an old fashioned candle stick with a half burned candle in it and with tallow sprinkled on the outside. Here was the inspiration for his lecture. “All people,” said he, “are tallow dips,” and he brought this idea very vividly before his audience by showing that some have the tallow dips of statesmanship, others of invention, philanthrophy, etc. His lecture bristled with good humor and dramatic art. Having traveled widely, and being a newspaper man he has interviewed many distinguished people, and can give his experiences in an interesting manner. Mr. Miles is an Englishman and at present is connected with the New York Tribune. This Wednesday morning in a talk to the high school on the subject “Opportunity,” he gave what many considered a much better talk. In fact, he spoke of English schools and his travels in Italy. The next number of the course will be given Nov. 29, and the attraction will be the Schuberts, a mixed quartette. ‘

Republican’s Products Exhibit Has Some Interesting Additions.

The Republican will be able to have a very nice exhibit of products if our friends continue to bring in samples of their agricultural prowess. A day or two ago Mel Thornton brought in a radish that he had permitted to go to seed. It is more than a foot in length and about 15 inches in circumference. It is not recommended to be solid through and through but is probably hollow or filled with peth, but it is a mighty big radish and will be hard to beat for size. Today J. F. Bruner brought down from DeMotte, where special attention is paid to gardening, two turnips that looked like Billy Bounce twins. They are about 7 inches in length and the heavier one weighs 5% pounds. They are apparently solid and look like a flqe grade of turnips. They were raised on the Northern Indiana ranch by Ben Dotson, who has about 1,600 bushels this year. 'Other exhibits have been promised and all our friends are urged to bring in some,sample, potatoes, corn, apples or anything else.

Hi-Livin’ and the Robber Tariff.

Fowler Republican-Leader, The Review from time to time during the recent campaign has made remarks about the Hi-Livin’ and was .very free to declare that the Robber Tariff done it. When the rule would not work, the paper would print that the apparent prosperity was on account of the increase in the amount of money in circulation, just as Bryan and the democrat party said. Now some fellows who have a fondness for figures has taken trouble to figure out how much fourteen of the commonest things grown on the farms would buy of twenty-six of the commonest articles sold at the stores. According to this table in 1896, thirteen hundred pounds of hogs would buy 87 pounds of Rio coffee; in 1910, the same amount of hogs would buy 361 pounds of the same kind of coffee. Then a case of eggs would buy 11 gallons of New Orleans molasses; now 20 gallons. Then 20 pounds of butter would have bought 77 pounds of rice; now it will buy 112. Then a 1,200 pound steer would have bought 1,067 pounds of sugar, now 2,065. Then twenty bushels of potatoes would have paid for 14 pounds of tea, now 26. A ton of hay would have paid for 27 yards of carpet, now 32 yeards of the same kind. Twenty bushels of oats would have paid for 59 yards of cotton flannel, now for 99. Then TO bushels of corn would have paid for 95 pounds of 8-penny nails, now 337 pounds. And so on. There are nearly four hundred comparisons. Money, little or much, does not form any part of the comparison. Because it is the direct exchange of a farm product for a manufactured article. It has been told a good many times that a lot of pious individuals went down to and told the President that Grant was a drinking man and often got drunk. The solemnfaced martyr listened patiently and then inquired: “What brand of whiskey does Gen. Grant use?” They did not know, why? “I want to send some of the same kind of liquor to the generals who are being defeated.” If this is Robber Tariff, we are very sure that the farmers of Benton county want to be robbed some more. And Jawn Kern is traveling all over this country crying “Huh Huh!” waving his red night shirt and shouting “Robber! Robber Tariff!"

Public Wedding.

Invitations are out announcing “Maloney’s Wedding,” at the Ellis theatre next Friday night. This is the James L. McCabe musical absurdity which for a number of seasons has served to amuse thousands of theatre patrons. The bill was formerly produced by Billy Barry and Hugh Fay under the title of “McKenna’s Flirtation,” which proved to be a great success. It is an extremely funny musical farce comedy, with a theme full of burlesque situations, indescribably ludicrous, movements that v are brisk, and dialogue tearse, bright, humorous and running over with repartee, leading. to climaxes having a whirl and “go.” The theme and dialogue lead to the natural introduction of specialties, both individual and general ensemble. The musical numbers are of the latest and catchiest kind. The dialogue is such a rapid fire of funny lines with amusing situations that the audience does not recover from one shot before there is a double discharge from another source. The leading character is that of an Irish comedian but there are four other distinctly good parts, strongly drawn and varied in characterization.

Rummage Sale. The Presbyterian ladies will hold their annual rummage sale on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2$ and 29, in the room first door north of B. K.
