TONIGHT’S PEOGEAM * ♦— PICTURES. Max Makes Music, comedy. Pots, Pans and Poetry, comedy. The Little Circus Rider, a drama. *■ SONG Everybody Wants to Be My Sister.

Ed Ranton left yesterday for Hoopeston, 111., and will probably start west from there within a few days. Mrs. Ranton is at. present at the home of i her sister, Mrs. W. C. Rose, in Hanging Grove township, but expects to go to Hoopeston soon. Jasper .county suffers a heavy loss in the removal of this estimable family and it is sincerely hoped that they find a good home in the west and that they are surrounded with happiness and plenty wherever they looate. Richard Foulks came in from McCoysburg this morning and took the 11:06 train for Logansport, where he will attend the funeral of Miss Ann Britton, his wife’s sister. Mrs. Foulks has been at the bedside of her sister since last Wednesday. Miss Britton, who is about 47 years of age, suffered a stroke of paralysis about a year and a half ago and suffered a second stroko last Tuesday. From the latter she never regained consciousness but died Sunday night. The funeral will be held Wednesday. Polos, the Greek, handed out quite a lot of wind to Lafayette newspapers. The Courier states that he said he ran across a Chicago wrestler and lost a SIOO side bet that he would throw Stewart twice in 40 minutes. It also says that a S2OO forfeit was poste \ on each side for another match to be held here with Stewart next Saturday night. If Polos had thrown Stewart as he should we could have had some real good wrestling here, but that is bringing up the dog story that has occasioned so much stamping of the feet. He did not throw Stewart. ‘Tis true, ’tis pity, pity ’tis, ’tis-true. B. Forsythe came down from Chicago Monday evening, where he had been purchasing goods. He said that the suit against him at Winamac was worth SSOO as an advertisement. He was able to beat the suit largely by the testimony of the man from whom he rents his business room, who said that he had tried to rent the room for a year. The merchants had expected to stick him good and plenty. They had it figured out to compel him to pay $lO a day license for 93 days, SSOO fine and court costs, amounting to about S4OO. He will make life miserable for the merchants who tried to drive him out of business by advertising their jealousy. He says the farming community is with him and most of the town people, too. George Chappel, Ellis Jones, Dennis Riley and Pete Merritt were over from Remington Saturday night to see the wrestling match. Mr. Chappel is the manager of the opera house in Remington and has been thinking of having some wrestling over there. Ellis Jones some years ago was considered the best wrestler in this part of the state and he likes the game yet. Doubtless he observed some indications of crookedness in the main match here Saturday jiight. “Billy” Wells and several others were here''Worn Der Motte. This goes to show the extent of the interest and also the necessitv of keeping it “on the square.” These people will not waste time coming to matches that have the appearance of being "crooked.” Attorney F. C. Crumpacker was here from Hammond yesterday. He is a son of Congressman Crumpacker, and is practicing law with his uncle, Peter Crumpacker, In Hammond. His trip here was a professional one, relating to a personal injury suit sent here on change of venue from Lakg county. He represents a widow whose husband was killed while in the employ of the Knickerbocker Ice Co. Suit was brought in Lake county and a judgment in favor of the defendant rendered in the sum of SIO,OOO. The case was sent back for retrial by the supreme court and venued to Jasper county. Judge Hanley was on the bench in Lake county when the case was originally tried there. It will not be tried at this term of court, only the issue coming up at this time. Heavy, impure blood makes a muddy, pimply complexion, headaches, nausea, indigestion. Thin blood makes you weak, pale, sickly. Burdock Blood Bitters makes the blood rich, red, pure—restores perfect health.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1911.

GOVERNOR GOES BACK ON ACTION OF LAST SESSION.

Ip 1909 He Signed Bills for Relief of Democrats—This Tear He Vetoes Bill For Relief. Tom Marshall is a queer governor. Two years ago, he signed bills for the relief of officials who had lost public money in banks. This year he vetoes entirely similar bills. Two years ago the officials seeking relief were democrats. This year part of those seeking relief are republicans. Monday he vetoed the bill for the relief of Frank Padgett, treasurer of Benton county. Also bills for the relief of Chas. M. Blue and Alison A. Fell, former trustees of Marion and Carpenter townships, respectively. All these men had lost the public money which had been deposited ia banks considered perfectly sound and reliable. They were just as much entitled to relief as those who were granted it two years ago. But Governor Marshall has changed his mind since two years ago. He seems to have changed his mind on a good many things within the past two years. And the people will probably, change their mind about Governor Marshall. The bill for the relief of S. R. Nichols, which passed the senate Monday, will probably fall before the Governor. Nichols is a republican. Presidential timber? Marshall is fast falling from thd plane of common respect. He is playing politics. That neVer served but one purpose. It deceives the-man that follows it. Tom Marshall is showing that he is a two-by-four lawyer. Back to Columbia City for him.

REPUBLICANS WILL FEEL PULSE OF THE PUBLIC.

Minority Will Look to the Future and Take Advantage of Democratic , Laws in Reorganization. ■ > Looking into the future from the standpoint of minority members, the republicans of the house and senate decided Monday in caucus that they would hold together during the time intervening before the next campaign, in an effort to regain the political control of the state, according to the statement of a republican senator Monday evening. “We just talked over the outlook informally,” declared this senator, “and came to the conclusion that we would go back to our homes, wait a month, then come back here to on plans for the future.” * The action is taken, it is said, with a view to retrieving lost ground, basing the plans on the weakness that may develop conoerning the democratic legislature. The house republicans decided upon a committee consisting of Representatives Eschbach, Bedgood, Grieger and Faris, whose duty it shall be to keep in touch with the house members and arrange for the meeting at which the members will talk over slans for the fqture. Senate republicans did not appoint a committee but they express themselves as feeling that much good would arise by the minority members of both houses keeping in touch with each other and with the public pulse.

Lively Time in Zion City Created by Voliva’s Proclamation.

Zion City was in a state of turmoil Monday. At the hearing of Jesse Buell, charged with assault during Sunday’s demonstration, before Justice Bellows, Buell’s attorney, C. L. Forby, is alleged to have “sassed” the court and when the latter threatened a fine for contempt the lawyer is reported to have dared the judge to try to collect one. Two constables seized Forby and blows were exchanged with unscientific enthusiasm for a few seconds, after which Buell and his lawyer were ordered to Jail. On the way Forby called to a henchman of Overseer Voliva to get help. Fifty members of the Voliva faction responded and attempted to “rush” the jail, but the police had been warned and repulsed the assault with a show of fire arms. Later the prisoners wore removed to the county jail at Waukegan. The city founded by John Alexander Dowie has been in a high state of excitement for several days over an election set for March 14. Feeling between the so-called “regulars” who stand with Overseer Voliva and the “independents” who oppose him is intense. The latter take particular exception to Voiiva’s campaign slogan as promulgated on a huge sign: “Zion City—No tobacco, no whiskey, no pork, no oysters. A clean city for a clean people.”

Buchanan Citizen Has Lots of Trouble With His Ear Trumpet.

Strange accidents occur at Buchanan. James Montmart, who is quite deaf, got his cigar, which he held in his left hand, mixed up with his ear trumpet, which he held in his right hand, and putting the cigar into his ear, burned the ear so badly that it will have to be amputated. A peculiar freak of the accident is that since it occurred Montmart has been able to hear perfectly with the other ear. This is not the first time that he has met with a queer accident because of the use of an ear trumpet. There is a high board fence around his home and a few years ago he went to the fence to talk to the milkman about getting a large supply of milk every morning. He put the trumpet up over the fence in order that the milkman might answer him, but the farmer mistook his purpose and poured a pint of lacteal fluid down the trumpet.

Meetings at Presbyterian Church Start Out Favorably.

Hhere was a good audience to greet Rev. J. H. Miller last night at the first service of the special meetings at the Presbyterian church. This evening Mr. Miller will preach on “The Beauty of the Wayside Ministry.” Everyone invited to these services. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Beilharz appeared yesterday afternoon for the only time on the ten days’ program. They are so versatile, so remarkably good that it would have been a pleasure to all who beard them to hear them a few times more.—Joliet (Ill.) Daily News. At the M. E. church, Monday evening, March 13th.

Not More Than One Saloon to A Thousand People in Jasper.

The Jasper county commissioners have placed the restriction of one saloon to a thousand people in Jasper county. So, even if saloons are reinstated in some townships there can be only one saloon except in the city of Rensselaer, where there could be two. > The city council of Rensselaer and the town board of Remington and Wheatfield will have to place the license cost within thirty days after tu; governor signed the bill if they will place it high enough to total S7OO, including state and county tax. There are men who would pay $2,000 to have the right to run one saloon in Rensselaer. The Proctor law makes this sort of boodling easy.

Albert S. Keene Appointed Trustee of Wheatfield Township.

Albert S. Keene, the well known undertaker and furniture dealer of Wheatfield, was appointed trustee of that township by Auditor Leatherman to succeed S. D. Clark, resigned. Mr. Clark attended the trustees’ monthly meeting Monday and was relieved from office. He made a good trustee and his successor in office will doubtless make a thoroughly efficient official. Mr. Keene filed his bond Tuesday in the sum of $5,000. It was signed by Sarah E. Asher, Wm. Hallier and Lewis Paulsen.

Paquet, former assistant pastor of SL Paul’s CathoilcT church in Ft. Wayne, and later chaplain of St. Vincent’s orphan asylum, also in Ft. Wayne, is seriously ill. It is said there is but little chance for his recovery.
