CARROLL WARREN DIES FOLLOWING OPERATION.

Son of City Superintendent of Schools Victim of Appendicitis—Funeral To Be Held Sunday.

Carroll Francis Warren, 7 years of age, third son of city superintendent and Mrs. I. N. Warren, died at the Warren home on South Cullen street at 4 o’clpck Friday afternoon. The boy had been in perfect health until the Monday before his.death and had been in school that day. The Warren family physician diagnosed the case as appendicitis and decided an operation to be necessary. His condition became very severe Wednesday and a Chicago surgeon was called that night to perform the operation, which was done at about 12:30 o’clock that night. The surgeon expressed himself as con fident that death would ensue if the operation was not performed and that there was doubt concerning the success of the operation. When the incision was made in the side it was found that the appendix had ruptured and that gangrene had formed and this added to the seriousness of the case. A drainage tube was inserted into the wound and everything done for the little patient but of no avail. The death is the first in the Warren family. Carroll was the next to the youngest of four children—all boys. The loss is a very severe one to the parents and they are receiving the sympathy of all in the sad affletion. The funeral will be held at the family residence Sjunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.

Carroll was born during the time the resided at Fort Dodge, lowa. He was seven years of age on Aug. sth, 1910, and was a member of the second grade of the public schools.

Greek Wrestler Here For Bout Tonight With Stewart.

Polos, the Greek wrestler, arrived in Rensselaer this Saturday morning for* his match tonight with., “Billy” Stewart. He did not bring with him a bunch of managers and seconds, but came alone. He thinks he can win the match and claims to have had considerable experience with some of the best wrestlers in the country. He is 22 years of age and has been wrestling for about three and a half years. He says that he don’t mind how stout his opponent is. He stated that he will throw Stewart unless he has considerable scientific knowledge of the wrestling game. Polos is about 5 feet, 8 inches in height and weighs ready for the mat 158 pounds. He has broad shoulders and strong jaws and his arms are large and solid. He is good natured and withstood a little joshing by Stewart partisans without getting ruffled. He stated to a reporter that he will not engage in a frame-mp with any person and that any match he engages in will be on the square. Polos works In a Greek restaurant in Lafayette. He was disappointed to learn that the prices for witnessing the matfeh were only 25, 35 and 50 cents. He thought nothing should be lower than 60 cents and running up to sl. The advance sale has been as large as it was for the Maple-Stewart match and a big audience will witness the match.

Celebrate Tenth Wedding Anniversary Surrounded by Friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kresler celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary surrounded by a party of fifty or more friends at their home on Cullen street Friday evening.

Each guest was asked to wear their wedding clothes if they had preserved them and they still fit. Only a few, however, were clad in the garments worn when they were married. Each guest was also asked to bring a bag of beans. These were used as pawns When the couples, seated beneath an arch resembling a marriage altar, told of their marriage. This feature proved very interesting. Going on the theory that the pronoun “I” was obliterated when the marriage vows were taken, the couples were requested not to use the terms “I,” "me,” or "mine,’* but to speak in the plural, saying “we," "ours," or “us.” It was plain to be seen who have become submissive during the marriage period for the wives used the personal pronouns frequently, while the husbands meekly said “we.” The couples were assailed with all sorts of questions and the women let the beans out of the bag extravagantly. The Kresler home was beautifully decorted for the occasion and little cupids with bows and arrows pointed in every'direction. A number of very nice presents were given to Mr. and Mrs. Kresler. Refreshments were served. — 1 •

PROCTOR BILL AWAITS THE GOVERNOR’S SIGNATURE.

Brown’s Amendment Stricken OatImportant Provisions of Saloon Bill About to Become a Law.

Proctor option bill No. 3, known as the “last hope” of the democratic legislative majority on the option question, is now ready-for the governor’s signature.

The rejjort of the Senate and House Conferees was concurred in by both the Senate and House Friday afternoon, according to the plan made in the democratic joint caucus Thursday night. The conferees’ report struck out the “dry” amendment placed in the bill on motion of Representative Hammond (dem.) after Representative Brown “(rep.) had failed to get a similar amendment made to the bill. The vote in the House on the conferees’ report was 56 to 38 in favor of concurrence.

Sweeping changes are made from the present law governing the liquor traffic. Following is a summary of the most important provisions of the ■bill:

No brewer or any brewing company shall own or have any interest whatever in any saloon established under the provisions of the act; applicant must state in his application that he has not received any gift of money or any consideration whatever from any firm or corporation to be used in the conduct of the saloon and all statements in the application must be sworn to by the applicant. The number of licenses which may be granted in any city or township is limited to one to each 500 inhabitants. The board of county commissioners may restrict the number still further to permit one to each 1,000 of population, provided the limitation is made at the next meeting of the board after the passage of the act. License fees are fixed "at S3OO in cities of the first and second classes; other cities S2OO and incorporated towns $1507 This fee is in addition to the state fee, which is uniformly S2OO. City councils or town boards may increase the fee to SSOO for cities and to S3OO for towns by passing ordinances, but no power to increase the fees will be vested in the local legislative bodies after the taking effect of the apt. If a saloon is established outside of any city or town, more than two miles from a town or more than four miles of a city of the first or second class, or more than two miles of any city, the sum of SSO shall be paid into the township treasury for such license.

The hours of closing saloons is 12 o’clock, midnight, in cities of the first and second classes; in other cities the closing hour is fixed at 11 o’clock. For any violation of the closing law a fine of from $lO to SSO is provided, with an optional jail or workhouse sentence of not more than sixty days. Boards of county commissioners are mandated to revoke a license if the holder thereof is convicted of being guilty of a felony within the year preceding; if convicted of breaking the laws in the restraint of lewdness, is grossly immoral or otherwise unfit to conduct a saloon; if be has, within the tyo years preceding, been adjudged guilty for the third time of violating the provisions of a regulative liquor act; if an application by a corporation to substitute one agent for another to have charge of its business is refused by the board of commissioners, or by any court on appeal ; if the licensee fails to pay the fee as provided.

If the board of commissioners finds a licensee has permitted persons of a lewd or immoral character to frequent his place, or if he permits the display of nude pictures, the license shall be suspended for thirty days; for the second offense within any period o? two years the license shall be suspended for at least sixty days, or may be revoked and for the third offense in any period of two years the license shall be revoked. If the licensee knowingly permits gambling in his place of business, and the board finds him guilty, the license shall be revoked and no new permit shall be given to him. It the license is revoked for any other cause the holder shall not be entitled to another for a period of two years. It is made unlawful for any person to sign his name to a remonstrance, who does not possess the qualifications required of remonstrators. Any corporation operating a hotel with at least twenty-five rooms actually used for guests may be granted a liquor license as a corporation; the name of the person to act as the agent for the dorporation must be stated in the application. Applicant for license must advertise in a newspaper in the locality in Continued on Page Fbur.

NO SALOONS IN RENSSELAER FIRST WARD FOR TWO YEARS.

Remonstrance,Filed with Auditor that Will Keep Saloons From Ward That Harbored Them. There will be no saloons in the first ward of Rensselaer for the next two years. A remonstrance was circulat ;d among the voters of tnac ward during the fast few days and filed Friday.

The remonstrance contains 112 names. There were 191 votes cast for mayor in the first ward at the election held in 1909, and the required number of signatures to defeat saloons in that ward would be 96. There are, therefore, 16 more names on the lemonstrance than would be necessary to win for the temperance cause. There would probably be no difficulty in seouring enough names in the second and third wards. A successful remonstrance was also filed from Keener township, in which the town of DeMotte is located.
