RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1911.

WEATHER FORECAST.

Generally fair tohight and Thursday; slightly warmer tonight in central portion. ♦ Temperature for 24 Honrs Ending. With 9 A.M. Today. Minimum 11 below zero; maximum 24 above zero. Elizur Sage and son Russell went to Payne, Ohio, today, where the former has a farm. He will probably sell his corn while there. The price paid there is generally 3 to 5 cents better than here, Mr. Sage says, and he is expecting to receive 45 cents per bushel for his crop. Judson and George Maines will start on the early morning train Thufcpday for Hume, in southwestern Missouri, where they may decide to invest in land. George has a brother-in-law there who has been on the look out for a land bargain and if they decide to purchase, George expects to move there in the spring.In the opinion of the lecture going public, your “Simon Says Wig-Wag” was the hit of the course so far. You were greeted with the largest audience of the season.—Dr. C. H. Brough, University of Arkansas, in personal letter. At M. E. church Thursday evening, January 19th, 8:15 o’clock. John O’Connor, of Kniman, has succeeded in making arrangements for better train connections at Fair Oaks, which should prove very advantageous to people from the north part of the county. The C. & E. I. has received orders to hold its north bound train at Fair Oaks to connect with No. 6, the north bound passenger due in Rensselaer at 3:15, when that train is * not more than 30 minutes late. Persons who are going north sh >ul<t inform Agent Beam, who will telegraph the agent at Fair Oaks to hold the north bound train. Failure to make this connection has caused great inconvenience in the past. The temperature took a big and unexpected drop last night and, according to the government thermometer kept at St. Joseph's college, reached a point 11 degrees below zero. Many thermometers about town registered from 5 to 9 below at 7 o’clock this morning. The drop came quietly, without any disagreeable winds, and few realized that it was very cold until they got out doors this morning. Today the temperature is much warmer and a bright sun has been shining almost all day, but the snow has thawed but a trifle, even in the center of the streets. Although there was 4 or 5 inches of snow very few sleds have appeared on the streets. Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Mr. Jerry Healy and Miss Mary Meyer, both of whom have been life long residents of Rensselaer. The announcement was first made by Father Daniels at St, Augustine’s church last Sunday morning. The ceremony will be performed at the home of her sister, Mrs. Will Donnelly, in Texas, and Mies Meyer and her mother left for that state last week. The groom, who has been a clerk in Rensselaer stores for several years and who has recently clerked In the Rowles & Parker grocery department, left for Texas Sunday. Miss Meyer has been successfully engaged in the millinery business in Rensselaer for a number of years. Both of the principals of the forthcoming wedding are among our most popular people. Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Meader came to town today to see their daughter Helen, who is a senior in the Rensselaer high school s and who has been sick for several days at the residence of Cal Cain, where she and her sister Lois, a junior, have a room. Lolb went home sick several days ago and Helen is threatened with pneumonia. Mr. Meader has himself been proving his adaptability to other work besides farming by installing at his home a hot water heating plant. He erected a fine new residence during the fall, and although it is not quite completed, he put in the heating plant anyway, and has it in operation. It was just as cold in Union 'township last night as any other place in Jasper county, but In the Meader home a thermometer registered 58 above zero when Ira got up this morning, and he thought hie out-door thermometer had gone “bugs” when it showed 9 below.

I want him on our course again next season. —Prof. S. J. Pulliam, of Georgetown (Ky.) College. At M. E. church, Thursday evening, Jan. 19th. 6 per cent of the cash receipts of the Home Grocery goes to the Monnett Orphan’s Home this week. Calling cards at the Republican.

KERN IS NOW SENATOR; ELECTED BY PARTY VOTE.

Prominent Hoosler, Long In Politics, Chosen to Seat to Be Vacated by Beveridge March 3d. 1 / John Worth Kern was elected to succeed Albert J. Beveridge as a U. S. senator from Indiana by the state legislature Tuesday. He received every democratic vote in both houses of the general assembly, while all the republican votes were cast for Albert J. Beveridge. One democrat, Representative Peter J. Coble, of Dubois county, who was one of the men charged with having deserted Kern for Shively two years ago, considered it his duty to explain himself, and he did so in the following language: “Because he was nominated by the Democratic state convention I cast my vote for the Hon. John W. Kern for United States senator, and in doing so desire to say that two years ago I voted for him in the Democratic caucus until I saw him losing to a third man. I then voted for the Hon. Benjamin F. Shively until his nomination and election. I did so without cowardice, cash or compensation of any sort, and I am proud of it, particularly so afler the dignified, gentlemanly and cultured stand he took when the late uncalled-for interview of Mr. Kern was published. For one I dare any man to assail the honesty a Democratic caucus.” Senator Edgar E. Duree, who made one of the speeches seconding the nomination of Beveridge and who is regarded as one of the most eloquent in the state senate, spoke in the following language regarding the charges John Kern made after' his defeat of two years ago: “I am willing to forgive the aspersion that Mr. Shively was elected by unclean methods in view of the fact that no fair minded person familiar with the facts believed his election to have been obtained other than by honorable means,” said Senator Duree, facing the Democratic side of the Senate. “1 can accept the choice of the majority with the best grace of a good loser, but I would be better satisfied if the imputation had been erased by some excuse or apology by the recipient of your generosity.” The remark carried a sting that went deep into many breasts. Mr. Kern had said that eight members of the democratic legislature, and he thought he could name them all, had deserted him under brewery influence and cast their votes for Shively. When Senator Robert E. Proctor arose to second Kern’s nomination he undertook to palliate the remarks of Senator Durre, but the sting could not be removed. These remarks will probably close the Kern-Shively controversy, but as Durre said, it would have been better if Shively could have erased the imputation cast upon him and the members of the legislature by some excuse or apology. John W. Kern has been long in politics. He is a clever and entertaining gentleman, but we do not expect him to accomplish much for the people during his term in the United States senate. The toga was conferred upon him by democrats of Indiana as a debt for the party sacrifices he has made, and not because he was considered to embody any great possibilities as a legislator. He will be able to .tell a lot of interesting reminiscences of his early life in Kokomo and Indianapolis, and should prove a fine thing for Washington newspaper correspondents, but he will rattle around in the shoes of Beveridge like a bean in a boot ' Mr. Kern will be the junior senator from Indiana, and B. F. Shively will be the senior senator after the retirement of Senator Beveridge.

Goes to Pacific Coast to Visit Foster Son Long Absent.

Mrs. C. P. Wright left on the 10:05 tram this morning for San Diego, Cal., to visit George Belcher and family. Mr. Belcher was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Wright, but left Rensselaer some thirty years ago. He located in New Mexico owing to his feeble health and there his health was restored and he engaged in business and became very successful. He still owns large ranching Interests in New Mexico, but makes his home at San Diego, and dealring to see his foster mother, he sent her a draft for SIOO with which to make the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Zeru Wright accompanied her as far as Chicago.
