RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1911.

SENATOR HALLECK OFFERS BEARDSLEY LAW AMENDMENT.

' nil mm ) i t| > f Would Make Possible Public Inspection of All Prescription or State* meats for Liqaor. > i An amendment to the Beardsley law to make the prescriptions'or statements on which a druggist sells liquor public records' open to an inspection at any reasonable'time, and providing that the documents shall be preserved f roa period of six months after the sale of the whiskey, is proposed by Senator Halleck, of Rensselaer. The Beardsley law, passed in 1907. permits a druggist or pharmacist to sell vinous or spirituous liquors in quantities not less than a quart at a time for medicinal, industrial or scientific purposes, only on the written prescription of a reputable physician in active practice, or upon the written and signed application of any other person who is personally known to the druggist and is known to him to be a persoh not in the habit of using intoxicating liquor as a beverage. This statement must set out that the liquor will be used for medicinal, scientific or industrial purposes. The Beardsley act providefe that the written prescriptions or applications shall be kepc for one year, but says nothing about the use of them in a prosecution. Under the tew as construed by the supreme court, the grand jury can compel the druggist to produce his prescriptions, but if he does so he can not thereafter be prosecuted for any offense disclosed thereby, inasmuch as the compelling of him to show his prescriptions or applications otherwise would be compelling him to give testimony against himself. The Halleck measure, by making the prescription or application a public record, would allow them to be inspected by any one, and if grounds for a prosecution were disclosed the papers could be used in evidence against the druggist. Senator Halleck points out that making prescriptions and statements public records would have a tendency to make physicians and druggists cautious, inasmuch as the fact that the public might examine them, would lead to disrepute of the physician who gave them carlessly, and also might bring the physician into difficulties at the hands of the state board of medical registration and examination.

Indoor Carnival and Society Circus Drew Good Crowds.

The Indoor fair and society circus at the armory drew good crowds at both the matinee and evening performances Wednesday. This fair is run under the auspices of the Rensselaer Boys’ Band and the attendance on the whole has thus far been a disappointment. Those who have attended it, however, have been very well entertained. The attractions are equal to or better than the majority of summer carnivals and there is not a single thing to offend any lady or gentleman. From the ceiling of the big ball arc suspended trapese on which first-class performances are given. There is a fine display of china and vases and a beautiful booth of paper flowers. The other attractions consist of plantation singers; Bonita, the fat lady; Tinymite, thq smallest horse in the world; Verno, the slimmest man on earth; a collection of monkeys, trained dogs, parrots, one ape, etc., and a lady fortune teller. The band boys get a liberal per cent of the receipts at the show and as the Rensselaer Boys* Band is the best musical investment Rensselaer ever had, the show should be patronized from the standpoint of the boys. The attendance was the largest Wednesday night of any night so far, but a general rush is expected for Friday and Saturday nights. A big crowd Is what makes a carnival a success, and the boys are hoping to have the armory packed the remainder of the week.

Lodge Re-elected Senator From Massachusetts After Hard Fight.

Henry Cabot Lodge won the hardest political fight he has ever had when he was elected to the United States senate by the Massachusetts legislature Wednesday. He received 146 votes out of the 279 in the legislature. This was 6 more than were necessary for choice. He received two democratic votes, while a third democrat refused to vote at all, owing to his long friendship for Lodge. Lojige was assailed for two years by both democrats and republican insurgents. Allen dray, now of Fort Dodge, lowa, lies at the point of death in a hospital in that city. He is a brother of Sylvester Gray, of this city, who was notified by telegram of his brother’s condition. Owing to his own sickness Mr. Oray is unable to go there, but Marshal George Mustard will leave for there at 6 o'clock this evening. It death results to Jlilr. Gray the body will be brought to Goodland for burial. Ilia lectures are eloquent, humorous, pathetic and powerful. I commend him as a man of strong character and great power.—Dr. G. M. Savage, President 8. W. B. University, Jackson, Tenn. At M. E. church tonight.

PURTELLE TO RESIGN AS TRACTION PRESIDENT.

Promoter Says He Needs a Best and Will Tender His Resignation at Monticello Meeting. Eugene Purtelle does not intend to stand in the way of the men associated with him in the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., promotion, and is quoted in an interview by the Chicago Tribune to have said that at a meeting of the stockholders of his company Soon to be held at Monticello he will tender his resignation as president. This will make the matter easy for his associates who realize that his mental condition, which is probably weakened by his hard work, unfits him for the position he has been filling and who further know that his financia' affairs are in such condition that he would be unable to add any stability to the proposed road. George W. Goff, the local member of the company organized to promote the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., stated to a Republican representative today that no meeting had so far been called for Monticello, but he presumes that a meeting will be held there or at some other place within a few days and if Mr. Purtelle resigns as president he will be relieved by the board of directors and his successor" probably chosen. If he does not resign steps will probably be taken to renlove him. Mr. Goft says that there are among the stockholders a number of good men, any of whom is qualified from a business point of view to take up the promotion work where Purtelle left off. He does not consider that these men are going to let the railroad drop by any meanß. He states that upwards of $20,000 has teen expended so far in securing franchises, surveys, right-of-way, etc. Mr. Goff is certain that all it now needs is to be pushed by some responsible parties in whom the people along the proposed route have confidence. He could not speak for the balance of the company but was of the opinion that new stockholders would bo received and that they could take a hand in the reorganization. The road’s assets now consist of a small amount of grade constructed between Dyer and Chicago Heights, franchises at Dyer, Lowell, Rensselaer, Monticello, Wolcott, Reynolds, Monticello, Chalmers, Brookston, Battle Ground, Idaville, Burnettsville, and throught White, Jasper and Newton dbunties. Also the subsidies available if the road is built in Marion township, Jasper county, and Lincoln township, Newton county. An election is also pending in Jackson township and Mt. Ayr. The blue prints made of the surveys are also a valuable asset and cost something like $3,000. The Republican believes there is a fine opportunity for this road if there can be found to go ahead with the work some hustler or hustlers in whom the people have confidence. The road would pay right from the start and the great value it would be to the country through which it would pass would induce many people along the route to become stock subscribers for a limited amount of stock if they knew that their money was going into honest hands and would be expended in the right way. If the Rensselaer commercial club could acquire title to the tangible holdings of the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co.,- and place some reliable man on a salary at the head of it as its promotor we have not the slightest doubt but the road could be built and largely with subscribed capital. By all means the plan should not be forsaken now. There is too good an outlook for the road and it means too much to the cities, towns and country through which it would pass if constructed.

Purtelle seems to be a complete failure as a business man, although be is credited with being a diligent worker. He is only 29 years of age and there is a pathetic side to his failure. He aspired to soar high in the flnani clal world and did not have the ability to do so. He is the .occasion of considerable discussion by Chicago newspapers and there seems to be little doubt of his mental weakness. Booth Lowrey has been on our course three times and has pleased as well or better than any other number we have ever had, and you know we have had a long list of the leading attractions in the past eight years. As you know, I seldom write any kind of endorsement for our lecturers, but when one so completely captivates our audience as Lowrey did three tlmss in succession, it Is a pleasure for me to heartily endorse him. —W. W. Martin, manager Doniphan, Mo., lyceum course. At M. E. church tonight. One grocery is selling bread at one s cent a loaf. See their adv. Peter May is very low today and It seems that he will not live many days. A general breakdown seems to constitute his sickness. Carnegie medals and cash awards were made at Pittsburg Wednesday to 28 persons for acts of bravery in attempting to save lives within the past year. Where the persons lost their lives, the awards were given to their dependants.

Guests Asked to Pay For Hospitality of a Four-Flusher.

Fowler Republican-Leader. Once on a time a young man went from Lafayette to the far eash and made a million on the board of trade, He returned to the banks of the Wabiish and gave to some of the boys the time of their lives. The entertainment ended with an elaborate banquet in the Auditorium hotel in Chicago, where the price for the extra is twenty dollars per day. And many went with, their wives, or some other man’s wife and had a great time. They spoke about the happy time to their neighbors and to the editor of their home paper. The supposed millionaire did not pay and can’t pay, and now the landlord at the tavern is sending each one of the millionaire’s guests a dun to pay for the entertainment. And some of the fellows who work in the stores are wondering if a twenty-five cent restaurant dinner is not good enough for them.
