Princess tonight —♦ — PICTURE. Jean and the Calico Doll. SONG. Simple Dolly Dimple, By Boscoe Wilson.

Governor Marshall will attempt in the federal courts to have an injunction issue to prevent thp construction of a dam across the Kankakee river at Monfence by a corporation seeking water power. The proposed dam, it is said, will cause the water to back up in the Kankakee and overflow thousands of acres of land which the state years ago reclaimed from swampy wastes and which are now under cultivation. The general assembly in 1889 appropriated $40,000, which was used in removing a ledge of limestone in the Kankakee near Momence, with the result that the river was opened and thousands of acres of land in Indiana and Illinois drained and subsequently made tillable. Much of the land on of the line was owned by the state, by natural swamp rights, and was sold to citizens. James Bingham, attorney-general, in san opinion rendered to the governor, held that the state would have recourse the corporation proposing to build the dam, on the grounds that the state still has title to many acres of land that would be affected by the proposed dam, and on the further grounds that the backing up of the water, as represented to be a natural result of the dam, would result in the destruction of much property belonging to citizens of the state. Governor Marshall asked for the opinion on receipt of a letter from a farmer living near Momence asking whether the state could bring suit for damages or whether 'it would be necessary for some Individual citizen to act.'

Republicans Held Good Meeting At Parr Wednesday Night.

About 100 citizens gathered at the Wood hall in Parr Wednesday night and listened to a speech by Thos. Dailey, of Indianapolis, who came Instead of George A. Gamble, of Logansport. Mr. Daley made a good speech and considerable interest whs manifested. Several of the county candidates were present and made talks, Representative John Brown, of this district, made a sound talk. He Is a farmer and a business man and talks without effort at eloquence, but he rings mighty true. Steve jßrusnahan asked Mr. Brown if he favored the 4 per cent attorney fees for ditches and Mr. Brown said that he did not. He considered the fee excessive and would vote to have it reduced If he had a chance. Sheriff Louie Shirer made a speech and told of his errpr, committed unintentionally of not taking Bader at once to the penitentiary. He said he had paid a SIOO fine for the mistake and was not apt to make another one. Mr. Shirer made a favorable impression on the voters. The meeting was a good one and brought republicans closer together than they have been before during the campaign.

Mokes Wrong Impression About Charge Filed by Surveyor Osborne.

The Jasper County Democrat state's that W. Frank Osborne, county surveyor, had filed for two days’ pay twice and that the commissioners had allowed the claim. The Democrat suggests that It was probably an error, but the editor of that paper did not try to inform himself or he would have found that Mr. Osborne did not file for two days twice. The claim that Babcock took to be a doubling up was for labor and team for another man for one day at each the Burk bridge and the Walter bridge. Mr. Osborne had paid these claims out of his own pocket and the commissioners reimburst him. Mr. Babcock will explain this to his readers, but he could have avoided doing Mr. OBborne an injury if he had taken the pains ta have secured the information in the lrst place.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1910.

Late Campaign Canards.

The closing days of the campaign show the extremity to which some candidates are willing to go in an effort to secure election and the Republican regrets to learn that lies are being promulgated and industriously peddled to defeat Lpuis P. Shirer, the republican candidate for sheriff and the present incumbent of the office. Following the conviction of Clinton L. Bader, general manager of the Wlnamac Bridge Co., last March, Sheriff Shirer took Mr. Bader to Winamac, to permit him to look after some business affairs and 'spend a short time with his family before starting with him to the penitentiary where he had been sentenced for a term of from 2 to 14 years. Mr. Shirer was of the opinion that he had three days in which to take his prisoner to the penitentiary and before the three days were up he would have done his -full duty as he understood it. But friends of Bader filed petitions with Governor Marshall asking that Bader by paroled until his case was heard in the supreme court of- the state and the governor issued a reprieve as petitioned for. On this petition appeared among other names those of N. Littlefield, chairman of the Jasper county democratic central committee; James W. McEwen, editor of the Democratic-Senti-nel; N. S. Bates and J. A. McFarland, all democrats and all good citizens. Mr. Littlefield afterward sent a telegram to the governor asking that his name he withdrawn from the petition. He did this because he understood his signing it might be used politically. Among republicans who signed the petition, were several leading citizens not concerned in the release from any political standpoint and the request was made with no motive to avoid punishment for Bader. Mr. Shirer returned here from Winamac with an order from Governor Marshall to admit Bader to freedom on parols. He thought he had performed his full duty, but he had been misinformed about being allowed three days in which to conduct a convicted person to the penitentiary and for this oversight Judge Hanley cited Shirer for contempt of court and fined him SIOO. This fine Mr. Shirer paid out of his own pocket. It was intimated to him that the Winamac Bridge Co. or Mr. Bader might pay the fine, but Mr. Shirer manfully replied that he would bear the burden of his mistake himself and be under obligations to no one. So Louie Shirer paid SIOO for having a tender heart. And this is being used against him by the most contemptible insinuation that he Was concerned in the bridge graft and the story has even been told that he was paid SI,OOO for keeping Bader out of the penitentiary. Mr. Shirer is a clean man, the highest class of a citizen, and above the taint of The story alleging that he was in any manner connected with the Bader matter more than the fact thalt through misbelief he erred in not taking to the penitentiary immediately, is false and told for political influence by unscrupulous and irresponsible people. So far as Bader was concerned It accommodated him but little. Had he been taken at once to the penitentiary he would have been just as free as he is now. Judge Hanley, in fining Shirer, did it to impress upon the sheriff his duty and not because he thought Mr. Shirer was influenced by Bader or his counsel; Judge Hanley would today, and so stated to the writer, be willing to go into any part of the county with Mr. Shirer and defend him against any suggestion of corrupt practices. Louie Shirer Bhould not lose a republican vote because of his action in the Bader, matter. He was influenced by a heart full of sympathy for a man who had every exterior appearance of honesty and he did what any kindly disposed man would have done when he took Mr. Bader to his home before he took him to the penitentiary. It may be remembered that when Tom McCoy was convicted at Monticello he was taken to Lafayette and spent two or three days there and in Chicago before he was taken to the penitentiary. The effort- to make political capital out of an act of mistaken kindness is the meanest sort of politics. Republicans and all good citizens should not be Influenced by it. Republicans should go farther and resent this attempt to keep him from reelection ' by the circulation of . such false and defamatory stories. No man in Jasper county can find a single good reason for failure to support Louis P. Shlref for re-elec-tion to the office of sheriff.

COLLEGEVILLE.

On Wednesday the students enjoyed their monthly visit to the city. Rev. Felician Wachendorfer, C. PP. S., and Rbv. Alban S. Scheidler, C. PP. S. t have been added to the academic department of the college faculty. Both are graduates of St. Joseph’s, receiving their A. B. in the class of ’OS. The following visitors were entertained during the week: Thomas Keating and Miss Hazel Keating, Indianapolis; Gilbert LaMair and G. St. Julian, Chicago; D. E. Kelly, Valparaiso; M. J. Walz, Defiance, Ohio; Nick Lauer, Ottoville, Ohro. At the-C. L. S. meeting last Sunday the principal business before the house was the arrangement for the Thanksgiving celebration. They are endeavoring to make this one of the memorable days of the year. E. P. Honan attended and delivered the first of his parliamentary laty lectures. The last of the large paintings has arrived from Europe, and Mr. Biegel will soon place it on the wall, thus completing the mural parts of the chapel. Another old college landmark, the old ice house, has disappeared.' The entire plot will be ready for sodding next spring, and soon the back lawn will be as dainty and attractive in appearance as the. front. Our athletic director haß been busy working out a new game, a combination of polo, basket and indoor base ball. It has not yet received a trial, but from the reading of the contemplated rulefs the game should be interesting and exciting with the rough .and dangerous features of polo eliminated. Hon. E. D. Crumpacker’s talk to the students was the most enthusiastically applauded speech of the many that have been given at the college by the campaign speakers. His theme was “Integrity and Energy.” Our congressman is an earnest speaker, and those who had listened to him at the opera house maintained that in his civic talks the Judge is even better than in his political argumentations.
