W. B. Austin Sets Us Bight About the Price Received at the Recent Banquet Given by Indianians. Chicago, 111., Dec. 17, 1910. The Rensselaer Republican: I just have The Republican of the 16th and have read the article entitled “Hoosiers in Chicago Hold Annual Banquet,” and I fear that you have done the Chicago Hoosiers an injustice in saying that this banquet was only $5.00 per plate. I enclose you the remittance card which w,as used on this occasion, in which you will observe that the tickets were SIO.OO each. Sarah Bernhart and Maxine Elliott, with their $3.00 and $4.00 seats, have dwindled into insignificance; “T. k.,” with his banquet under the auspices of the Hamilton Club, brought $7.50 per plate; Mary Garden and her catnip bed, when she presented Salome in the Grand Opera here, only brought SB.OO a seat, but it remained for the Indiana Society to demand and receive SIO.OO per plate. The price was an experiment by the Society, as it has always been heretofore $5.00 j>er plate. We estimated that there would be 250 at the banquet, but the crush was so great for seats that 430 people attended. The personnel was in every respect up to the highest standard, as it always is in the case of Hoosiers, and this feature of the banquet, as well as the price, was so impressed upon she speakers’ table that one of the gentlemen who was to deliver an adand after he twisted the tails of his dress coat for a few minutes he sat down and acknowledged that he could not remember his “piece,” and that all he could think of was the fact that 430 men had paid SIO.OO each to hear him speak. I thought you might be interested in knowing the position which Indiana maintains in Chicago. Wittrkindest'fegards, I am, r ~7" Very truly yours, WILLIAM B. AUSTIN.

Jas. E. Flynn came Saturday evening from Kennedy, in Dearborn county, where he has lived for the past year.

He has been enjoying good health, which was one of hi 3 objects in trying that part of the state. His farm jis only 30 miles from Cincinnati and thus he has a fine market for his fruiLnnd poultry.
