RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1810.

We Originated the Plan and Were Not Converted to It.

The Jasper County Democrat don’t even like to have the Republican agree with it and charges us with an eleventh hour conversion to the proposition to make the Winamac Bridge Co. pay to Jasper county the amount it has been defrauded of by reason of altered bridge plans. The Republican, however, has always thought this to be the proper means of settling the matter and in its issue of March 11th the following language was employed following a report of the engineers sent out by Judge Hanley to investigate the other bridges the Winamac Bridge Co. has built: “That there was something mighty wrong with the Winamac Bridge Co., however, is very evident by this report of the surveyor and his assistant and whatever work may be given to them in the future should be scanned very carefully and if there Is any method of making them liable for the shortage they should be. compelled to settle with Jasper county. The company should be responsible for the erection of bridges according to the specifications agreed upon and when the shortage is determined by the report of competent engineers a demand should be made of the company for the amount the county has lost. This will not affect the prosecu tions in a criminal way, but criminal punishment will not square the thing with the taxpayers. The Democrat is very queer in its disposition and hates to be agreed with. We dare say if the Democrat had remembered that the Republican favored this action it would have "opposed it, but it forgot that the suggestion came from this paper and now it would even kick out of its own opinion ii it could do so gracefully.

At the Ellis Theatre Saturday Evening, November 5.

“Bachelor’s Isle,” the 3-act musical comedy which comes to the Ellis Theatre on Saturday evening, Nov. sth, is one of the < prettiest musical comedies of the season, at least that is the report from every place they have played this season. The first act is supposed to take place on the grounds of a New York college the day prior to the opening of vacation. A young gentleman who is in the employ of a wireless telegraph company offers to take the girls with him on a yacht which has been chartered to take a wireless outfit to a little island near the Bermudas. The second act finds the party on board the yacht in the middle of the ocean and every one is scared, as they are being pursued by sharks. A colored servant, who has been carried aboard by accident locked in a trunk is found and upon being threatened by the crew that they will use him for bait to satisfy the sharks, he jumps overboard, saying that he will beat the sharks swimming. The crew have no time to look for him as the island Is sighted and they prepare to take to the small boats and row over. The last act finds every one in rapture over the beauties of the island, and the owner, an old woman-hater, is smitten by the winning ways of one of the girls and before the final climax every one is happy and they decide the cognomen of the island should be changed to “Honeymoon.” Miss Floyd as the college coquette and Mr. Flint as the old woman-hater are great. All the other principals are above the average and with the aid of a snappy college chorus’it makes a performance that is sure to please. Mr. Flint is an old favorite in our city, having played here on four previous occasions with other companies and anything which he offers Mr. Ellis 1b sure up to the standard. Prices are reduced to 25, 35 and 50 cents.

What Will the Population of Gary Be at the 1920 Census?

Hammond Times. Sixteen thousand, eight hundred and two. This is Gary’s population, according to the government’s official figures. That many souls were in Gary April lof this year. It is now seven months since that date. Gary is fifty-five months old. Consequently the span between that time is equal to oneeighth of\ her whole life and ’ assuming that the population has grown on the same equable basis nearly 19,000 now make their homes in the Steel City. In 1900, when the census takers of this section of Calumet township trod the sand dunes in search of the dozen families that lived near the Pennsylvania depot, little did he dream of the magnificent city that would be in that wilderness ten years later. Now that the 1910 census is announced predictions are in order as to what it will be in 1920. The guesses will be wide and varied. We will be conservative and shall place it at 160,000. Of course if in the meantime Whiting, East Chicago and Gary are amalgamated into one municipality, and if it is all named Gary, the Gary of the 1920 census will be a quarter of a million.

Don’t Cash Money Orders for Strangers Without Investigation.

One hundred and fifty money orders were stolen a few days since from Station 50 of the Chicago postofflce and several have been filled out and cashed in northern Indiana towns. The two men who are thought to be in possession of them wait until the postofflce is closed, then visit stores and make small, purchases, cashing a money order at each store. Merchants should not cash money orders for strangers; it is unsafe at any time.

Beveridge Gives Heartiest Support To Candidacy of E. D. Crumpacker.

In a speech at Hammond Monday night Senator Albert J. Beveridge used the following language: “Cast your vote for Edgar Dean Crumpacker. He is opposed by a man who is an attorney for the father of the interests we progressives are fighting—the Standard Oil company. Would it be safe to send a man to congress who has been doing their work? Wouldn’t his mind be prejudiced, and would he not sympathize with the interests we are fighting?”

“Shorty” Adams Taken to Insane Asylum at Longcliffe Today.

Sheriff Shirer called up the superintendent at Loqgcllffe Tuesday afternoon and told hpw unruly Mb insane inmate; Leonard Adams, continued, and they stated that they would make rqgm for him now and that he would be admitted today, Wednesday. It was good news to the sheriff, who realized that If there was any chance for the recovery of “Shorty” he should be treated without delay, and the queer stunts he Was performing and the language he used made him a very undesirable inmate of the Jail. At 10:55 the sheriff, Marshal Mustard and Harry Wiltshire started for Longcllffe with the patient. He was handcuffed but went along without any trouble and seemed to be entirely rational.

Iowa Senator Holds Republican Meetings in Indiana Cities.

1 Senator Cummins, of lowa, has begun a five days’ campaign in Indiana in. the interest of Senator Albert J. Beveridge. At Mishawaka Monday night, Senator Ciimmins said: “I have come into this Indiana campaign to do what I can and all that 1 can on behalf of Albert J. Beveridge. He Is my associate in the Senate of the United States. His deep learning, comprehensive thought and unsurpassed eloquence combine to make him a most conspicuous figure in that body. But it is not his learning or his eloquence that has drawn me into this struggle. He is my friend and his lovable character awakens my keenest interest in his welfare. Yet it is not because of any affection that I entertain for him that I am here taking part in a battle that is to determine his political future. -. “I am here because Albert J. Beveridge is a patriotic public servant, because he is a valiant fighter for just laws, because Albert J. Beveridge has a mind that conceives prophetic vision, which foresees that which should be and possesses a noble heart and an honest will that sends him straight to the mark.

“Albert J. Beveridge has full consciousness of the sacredness of private property and knows that its inviolability must be upheld wherever civilization is to prevail,'but he also feels the deep conviction that wherever the rights of man and the rights of property are issue, man is to be considered first and property afterward. “Albert J. Beveridge hates wrong, a very common feeling, I hope, among public men, and he is always fighting it, a practice, I am sorry to say, that is not so self-evident in public life. He is a potent force in the mighty movement that is now sweeping the length and breadth of our land for a government filled with a renewed sense of faithfulness and watchful sympathy toward the interests of the people. “These, then, are the reasons that have brought me to your state. The thoughtful men and women of lowa are just as much interested in Senator Beveridge’s re-election as are the men and women of Indiana. The legislature of the state must give him hiß commission, and when it is given, Maine and lowa and California and all the commonwealths will share with you in the immense benefits of his public service.” .
