All Barbers Withdraw From Early Closing Agreement.

' The Rensselaer barbers who signed the early closing agreement did so with the understanding that all business houses were going to close at 6 o’clock. When they learned that the grocery stores would not enter Into a closing agreement they decided to withdraw, as much of 4heir trade comes between 6 o’clock aud 8 o’clock, the hour at which the shops close ugder the present understanding.

Interurban Election Called for Jackson Township, Newton Co.

The commissioners of Newton coun ty have ordered an election to decide upon a subsidy for the Indiana Northwestern Traction company, in Jackson township, Newton county.

Kennedy and Stewart Come to Terms for Wrestle Jan. 20th,

“Billy” Stewart and Bill Kennedy signed a wrestling agreement Thursday. The contest is to take place at Ellis opera house Friday evening January 20th. It is understood that Kennedy will receive 25 per cent and Stewart 75 per cent of the door receipts, win or lose. Stewart feels that he has made a reputation tot himself and is therefore entitled to the big end of the receipts. 'Kennedy is regarded and an adventurer and they do not propose to let some fellow without a reputation get any easy money by gulling the public. Kennedy is an unknown. He clain's to have had experience and to have staid fifteen minutes with an expert wrestler. He has the build for strength and may prove a big surprise. He -secured backing for this match, it is claimed, by people who are convinced that he will prove able to defeat Stewart. Stewart will go into training at once and Harvey Myres will assist him. Kennedy, is well known in Barkley township and is expected to prove a good drawing card.

Largest Users and Greatest Wasters of Wood Products.

In an address prepared by Prof. Maßon B. Thomas, of Wabash College, and delivered at the recent meeting of the State Federation of Commercial Clubß, the professor, among other things, savs: “We are the largest users of wood per capita of any nation on the globe and the greatest wasters. From every acre of forest out over, but one-third of the product is put ou the market, the balance is wasted. Our per capita consumption is 260 cubic feet, while in Germany it is 37 and in France 25. We are cutting yearly nearly three and one-half times as mnch forest as we raise and in addition to this, losing $50,000,000 annually by fire, S4O, 000,000 by decay, and $100,000,000 from insects. Not only are we wasting our forest, but the few that remain are growing but 12 cubic feet per year on each acre, while the well-regulated forests of Europe yield from 48 to 65 cubip feet aud we could do as well. It is not surprising that the price of lumber has advanced in the last ten years more than twice as much as the average increase in all other commodities. It should make any one think when a piece of cabinet work, that fifteen years ago cost the price of one day’s labor, now costs the amount from six days* labor, due to the advance in tbe cost of white pine. “It is for our own state, however, that I am to speak. Of the 18,933,046 acres originally In forest, but 1,227,141 now remain, and but little of this has been unspoiled by the woodsman’s ax. Up until 1880, when 4,336,161 acres remained, practically all the clearing had been in the Interests of agriculture, but since that time the waste lands of the state have Jncreaaed in about the same proportion as the forest area has decreased. We hare passed Che danger line and the revenue from timber now cut, means a sacrifice in impoverished agricultural lands."

When given as soon as the croupy cough appears, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will ward off an attack of croup and prevent all danger and cause for anxiety. Thousands of mothers use It successfully. Bold by all dealers. c « H I -111 iminiMWMOCtea " ,l> " A Classified Adv. will eel! It.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1911.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN ITS BIENNIAL SESSION.

Sixty-Seventh Session of Legislature • Started Thursday With Beading Of The Governor’s Message. With the formal election of Albert J. Veneman, of Evansville, as speaker pf the House of Representatives, and his assumption of the chair, the announcement of committee assignments by Lieutenant Governor Hall in the Senate, and Governor Marshall’s reading of his message before a joint session of the two bodies, as the principal evento in a session of three hours, the Sixty-seventh General As•sembly of the state of Indiana waa inaugurated Thursday. In addition to these proceedings the program of organization adopted in caucus by the Senate and House majorities was carried out. The Senate adjourned to meet at 10 o’clock Friday morning and the House convened at li o’clock. Although there was little actual work done at the State House on the first day of the session, the leaders, especially those of the majority, were busy all afternoon and far into the night completing the list of employes in both ' Houses. Speaker Veneman was besieged by representatives, seeking committee assignments. The legislative ship, controlled by a democratic crew, both fore and aft, for the first time in many years, had smooth sailing the first day out with the exception of one little incident, a threatened mutiny by Representative W. W. Spencer, of Marion county. He didn’t like the rules and he didn’t hesitate to say sp, although his effort to amend them failed.

For one hour, from even midday- to 1 o’clock, the voice of Governor Marshall rang clearly and firmly through the chamber of the House while he read his message to the Assembly In that hour the Governor urged upon the members of the Senate aiid House many important legislative reforms which he declared should be given attention at this sessibn, but there was no demonstration upon the part of his hearers to indicate their attitude toward any of the legislation suggested. When he had conclued Governor Marshall was given as generous outburst of applause as that with which he had been greeted when he mounted the rostrum beside Speaker Veneman, and was warmly congratulated for his effort Jay the party leaders who surrounded him as he left the chamber.

Only once during the reading of his message was there any expression from his audience, and that was a ripple of laughter which followed his facetious expression of warning against the “high-flyer” who preys upon the legislator. The attitude of the Assembly was one of serious and lespectful attention thoughout the address.

The Governor, after shaking hands with Speaker Veneman and Lieutenant Governor Hall, was Introduced by the latter and immediately began reading his message. The aisles around the House chamber were crowded, and the gallery was well filled. All eyes were upon the Governor as he shook the hand of Speaker Veneman, the man who, but a few minutes before, had been elevated to a position giving him recognition as a new political power iu hlB party, as well as in the administrative affairs of the state.

After advising the legislators to “beware of the man-who wishes to show you a good time the day after he has been introduced to you,” the Governor declared that it was the duty of every member to report a: once any attempt to influence a vote, either directly or indirectly, or by an open effort at bribery. His voice rang emphatically on the word “bribery,” but if It recalled to any of his hearers certain charges which have been made since the last session of the General Assembly, there was no evidence that the words carried a special significance.

It was 10:30 o’clock when Secretary of State Elllngham sounded the gavel calling the House to order. He presented the Rev. Edward A. Neville, rector of Grace Episcopal church, Muncie, who delivered an invocation. Master Harold Jaffe, of Indianapolis, then played a violin solo, winning hearty applause. After the roll coll disclosing all members present except George C. Clark, of SL Joseph county, the legislator* 1 stood and took the oath of office administered by Judge Leander J. Monks, of the Supreme court

WORLAND AGAIN CHOSEN COMMERCIAL CLUB PRESIDENT.

Board of Directors Met Thursday and Appointed Committee to Recoinmend Procedure.

D. M. Worland was elected president of the Commercial Club by the board tof directors in the club rooms Thursday afternoon. C. C Warner waa elected vice-president and C. G. Spitler was elected secretary-treasurer. The latter office is the only salaried one and the salary was reduced from sls to $8.33 1-3 per month. It was decided to put the present funds of the club, amounting to about $3,000 on interest, loaning it to the banks at 3 per cent. A committee of five was appointed to make a recommendation at a meeting of all lot buyers to be held next Wednesday evening as to the best procedure for the future.' The committee is considering the ' matter largely along the line of the three propositions heretofore mentioned in The Republican. There seems to be a great majority in favor of reducing the price of the lots to SIO,O and refunding all that has been paid in excess of that amount. It is probable that the meeting to be held next Wednesday will determine pbsitively on this matter. The rooms over Roth Bros.' store will be abandoned shortly, as they have not proven popular with members. It should be understood that the expense of these rooms came* from the members of the commercial club Who paid dues for that purpose and that the fund from the sale of lots has not been touched. All who made contracts for lots should make an effort to attend the meeting to be held Wednesday night, Jan. 11th.

BAND TO GIVE INDOOR CARNIVAL JAN. 16-21.

H. Sanger Amusement Company Will Occupy the Armory and Give Big Show for Boys’ Band.

Don Wright, the local manager or the Rensselaer Boys’ Band, has arranged with the H. Sanger Amusement Co., playing the society circuit, to give an all-week indoor carnival at the armory during the week beginning Jan. 16th. A representative of the company will be here within a few days and outline the plan for advertising the big show, which they claim is equal to any summer outdoor carnival. All the attractions are free from objec tionable features. Manager Wright is confined at his home now with pneumonia, but expects to be able to get out within a few days. Prof. Braun, who has been absent from Lowell for the past two weeks on account of a physical breakdown, will also be in Rensselaer in a few days. The carnival should prove a good attraction if the shows are up to the claims made for them.
