Several days ago a window in the west end of the building was broken out and this was patched with pasteboard. Last night two windows at the left of the operator's table were broken out. The windows were struck by chunks of coal as a freight train was going through and the presumption is that some one stealing a ride heaved the coal through the window. The aperatures are covered with pasteboard.

PROCTOR MEASURE PASSES IN DISGRACEFUL SCENE.

Representative Keegan Hurls Slur That Has No Equal in Shameful* ness in History of State. The Proctor regulative and "restrictive measure passed the house Monday and the .Indiana assembly was never nearer a pitched fight , than it was on that occasion. Thirty-six amendments were passed since the bill left the senate and most of them make it more disgraceful than it was when Proctor introduced it. Probably no legislature in the United States ever tolerated so mean a slur as that cast by Representative Keegan, a democrat, of Indianapolis, who, in the most outrageous manner, cadt an insult against the honesty and sincerity of every republican in the house. His action was cowardly in the extreme, for after making a charge ,of grave importance he refused to state the name of a single person who' might be guilty of the conduct with which he impunged all republican legislators. As members voted on the Proctor bill many explained their vote. Keegan declared that there was “no hipocracy” about his attitude and said there are “gentlemen on the other side who feed all night on highballs and come in here the next morning and preach temperance.”

At this juncture Representative Eschbach, republican floor leader, jumped to his feet on a “question of personal privilege.” He turned savagely on Keegan and asked if he referred to the gentleman from Kosciusko, meaning himself. Keegan replied, “If it fits, I do.” “If you refer to me,” said Eschbach, “you tell an absolute falsehood.” And again Keegan replied, “I refer to anybody it fits.”

Practically every republican in the house arose and made a deurand that Keegan have the courage and honesty to name the person or persons that might be guilty of such conduct. “Name the man," “Name the man,” came from all quarters of the house. Several republicans moved . toward Keegan, who, sheep-like, grew palid and his every manner spoke of his shamelessness. Several democrats gathered around him as if to protect him from the assault that looked so Imminent. Speaker Veneman was rapping loudly for order. Finally when the speaker could make himself heard he demanded that “the speaker from Marion shall not be personal in his remarks.”

A moment later when Representative Maddox explained his vote he said “Shame on the man who charges a churchman with drinking highballs. If the gentleman from Marion had said

that to me, we would have cqme, together instantly.” Representative berry, of Wabash county, in explaining his vote, said, “Every amendment for the benefit of the people has been voted down.” An effort was made by him to talk further but catcalls and disgraceful from the democratic side of the house made it impossible for him to make himself heard.

Miss Bessie Smith Married Feb. 15 in Wilson Creek, Wash;

A Wilson Creek, Wash., newspaper gives an extended account of the marriage on Feb. 15th in that city of Miss Bessie M. Smith and Mr. Henry M. Kastler. She is the daughter of George R. Smith and wife and was born in Rensselaer, where she resided until three years ago when she removed with her parents to the state of Washington. She is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Holridge Clark, of Rensselaer.

The paper speaks of the bride as a “talented, though unassuming young lady of many friends in that community,” and says “she is a fit bride for any man like Henrf Kastler, who, through nearly four year’s residence in Wilson Creek has made a name for sterling worth, both as a gentleman and as a live business man. He was raised in Illinois and for nearly four years has been the manager of the Edwards & Bradford Lumber Co. The bride and groom left Thursday for a short sojourn in Spokane and vicinity. Upon their return they will flt up and occupy a neat little cottage in our midst.”

The bride will be remembered by many of the young people of Rensselaer.

Robert Vanatta Starting in Right as Superior Judge.

The Muncie Evening Press has the following to say of Robert Vanatta, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Vanatta, of Rensselaer, who was elected last fall as superior judge in Grant and Delaware counties:

The present term of .the Delaware superior court has been the busiest one since the court was established. Not only have more cases been filed and disposed of, but the transferrence of several eases from the circuit court docket has made the superior court a busy place. Judge Robert M. Vanatta has taken hold of the affairs of the court in a most capable manner and is receiving the support of all the attorneys in keeping matters moving. There are only two more weeks in the February term and then an adjournment of six weeks will be taken, the April term beginning April 24th. Judge Vanatta is busy this week disposing of issues and setting cases down for trial. It is hoped to have a special jury for the April term of the superior court and many cases are being set down for the first and second weeks of the April term in order that no time may be lost in clearing the docket.

Alleged Chicken Thieves Take Change of Venue.

The alleged chicken thieves, who at present are lodged in Jail here, and whose case was to have come up today, have taken a change of venue to Newton county, and their case will come up for trial at the next term of the Ne wton circuit court. The Johnson vs. Halligan case has occupied the attention of the court all day, and will probably not go to the jury until Borne time tomorrow. It is a suit in replevin for the recovery of a horse.

The case of State vs. for alleged violation of the liquor laws, is called for tomorrow, and Prosecutor Longwell came over today to be on hand.
