RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8,1911.

DUG DEEPLY TO UNCOVER THE PROCTOR SALOON BILL.

Some Measures Took Their Order, But Things Effecting Saloons Were Boosted Right Along. The Proctor so-called “regulative and restrictive” saloon measure was dug out from beneath one hundred and fifty other bills last Saturday and signed by Governor Marshall. It had an emergency clause and the governor wanted to get it to working. It provided that at the first meeting of the commissioners after the law went into effect the commissioners sould decide upon the basis of saloons in each county. The commissioners could place it as one saloon for each 500 or one for pach 1,000 or any place between thM number. But they had to act at the first meeting after the law Went into effect and it was in effect the moment the governor signed it. He could have waited until Monday to sign it and thus have given commissioners and county attorneys a chance to have read the bill and discussed it, but the governor dug down deeply and signed this bill. This caused the state of Indiana to pay for a hundred telegrams which the governor sent out Monday notifying county auditors officially that he had made the Proctor bill a law. Governor Marshall don’t seem to give any thought to any measure himself and consequently don’t want any other officials to give any. The text of the law had not been officially printed and sent out or had not Monday, and yet the governor sent out telegrams telling county commissioners that he had signed a bill, making it a law and asking them to base their action on it, when the law had never been officially sent to any of them. Why could not the governor have waited until Monday to sign this bill? Most counties are placing the basis of saloons at one for every 1,000 and this is the action taken by the pommissioners of Jasper county. It will reduce the number of saloons, but will create a monopoly that will be of great value and will make about the best “boodling” scheme ever created by law in Indiana. Governor Marshall could see this if his sight was as keen as he thought it was two years ago. A saloon license in a restricted community can hot cost more than S7OO a year. It will be worth SIO,OOO in some places, and it can be bought and sold and run by an administrator and sold to h corporation and moved from one building to another. This is the sort of “restriction and regulation” that Proctor and the legislature gave and that the governor dug out from under a pile of other bills to sign. Poor Tom Marshall! Two years ago you really seemed to some people to be a temperance man. How you have fallen!

Just arrived at Maines & Hamilton’s, a car load of oyster shells to be sold at 70 cents per hundred pounds. The impersonations of Mr. and Mrs. Beilharz are the best ever seen here and real artistic talent is displayed with genuine humor. Jesse 12. Wilson, who has just returned from Washington, where for five and a half years he was one of the assistant secretaries of the in terior, may decide to locate In Hammond. He will go there shortly to investigate the field and may open up on office in that city. The two new superior courts established theie by the legislature will greatly facilitate court business and probably offer a good opportunity for more lawyers of ability, and Mr. Wilson will probably be able to very rapidly build up a good practice there. John C. Billheimer, former auditor of state, and C. A. Harris, of Indianapolis, were here over night and talked with a number about the Home Fire Insurance Co. of Indiana, which they are engaged in promoting, and of which Mr. Billheimer is the president The stock of this company is being sold all over the state and from statistics furnished by the auditor of state the insurance companies of the country are making a mighty big interest on the investment This makes the investment look good and it is finding a sale wherever offered. Several in Montlcello have bought stock, some has been sold here, and others are figuring on investing. Mr. i Billheimer and Mr. Harris went to Kentland this afternoon and will return hdVe later.

TROOPS ORDERED TO THE MEXICAN BORDER.

Tenth Infantry Part of 20,000 Troops Sent to Texas—Some Mystery JiLAiA A boat Movement. The 10th U. S. Infantry, to which Sergeant Frank Crosscup and Bernice Brown, Rensselaer boys, belong and which is stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis, received orders at 9 o’clock to prepare to move at once to the Mexican border. Col. Henry A. Greene had the* command ready to entrain in six hours. Twenty thousand troops were directed Tuesday to move to Texas and while the government assigns the movement as simply a practice one to demonstrate the readiness with which troops can be mflbolized, the impression is given out through newspapers that the Mexican revolution is really the cause of the order. It is the greatest military demonstration attempted by the United States since the Spanish-American war. The troops are to mobolize at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and it is expected that 20,000 troops will be there within five days. Happiness is said to have been general at Fort Benjamin Harrison when the moving orders were received. Sergeant Frank Crosscup wrote to The Republican as follows: “Am in great haste, but will write you a few lines. Our entire regiment leaves at midnight for the Mexican -border—think we may get a chance to try out our new rifles as there is quite a little excitement there at present. We received the telegram at 9 o’clock this a. m. 26,000 troops ordered there at once. Give my best to the boys of Co. M. I wish they were going along to keep us company. I will try and write you after we reach our destination. Best regards, Sgt. Crosscup.”

Wrestling Match for Saturday Night Should Be Good Attraction.

The wrestling game is not to be broken up because of the “fixed” evem between Polos and Stewart, but Manager Ellis has arranged for a match between Clifford Nichols, the clever young wrestler who threw Ropp last Saturday night, and Art Battleday, who was successful in a preliminary match with Ropp several weeks ago. Nichols is somewhat heavier than Battleday, but the latter is considered the best wrestler of his weight in Rems* laer and has had that replication for several years. Nichols and Battleday are clean young fellows and both anxious to make good at the game of wrestling. Tfyey have had enough experience no- ' to justify them as headliners and it is planned to have two or more preliminaries, so that the patrons of the game can get their money’s worth. Manager Ellis will be pleased to confer with any young men in tile county who care to meet the winner of Saturday night’s match at a later date, or who care to go on in H preliminary match.

Say Polos Claimed He Got $100 For Not Throwing Stewart.

Two young men were in Lafayette Tuesday and called at the Greek restaurant where William Polos, the wrestler, is employed. He was not there and another Greek, who works in the restaurant, talked freely about the wrestling match. He said that Polos admitted that it was a “frameup” and claimed that he got SIOO for not throwing Stewart. Polos had gone to Indianapolis to “blow” the money. The Rensselaer young men say that they were Informed Jthat the match was “fixed” right there in the restaurant and that they were making no bones whatever of telling It.

Raid at Granger's Was Not Made by Federal Officers.

The raid of “Hank” Grangers place at Thayer was not- made by federal authorities as related in the Hammond Times hy a Thayer correspondent, but was made by deputies from Newton county armed with a search warrant. The Times had it written up in rather a sensational manner but wo are informed that temperance people at Thayer state that the building was not very thoroughly searched and that they regarded the "raid” as very ineffectual. Possibly, however, they do not know Just what evidence was uncovered. We have sold fifteen Corn King manure spreaders this spring. There is no better spreader on the market Our terms and prices are better than any other. Let us tell you what we can do for you. ■ MAINBS ft HAMILTON.
