Capitol Building at Albany Badly Damaged By Fire.

Fire damaged the New York State capitol building at Albany Wednesday, badly, doing damage that is estimated at from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. The building has been the source of much trouble and graft is believed to have figured largely in its building and remodeling. Its total Cost exceeded $27,000,000. The writer saw the building two years ago and conversed witlv people at Albany, some of whom seemed to feel rather proud of the widespread reputation the building had secured for the alleged graft intots construction.

Wednesday Elections Largely Favorable to “Dry” Element.

Hartford township, in Adams county, and Perry township, in Allen county, went and Smith township, in Whitley county, went “wet.” At Marion, where the commissioners refused to grant licenses lifter the election went “wet,” alleging frauds by the saloon sympathizers, the grand jury is busy trying to secure indictments against the alleged illegal voters. *

When asked how old she was her reply was “almost a hundred.” She told stories oi her young days, which she can remember well, and also about her brothers and sisters, but she can not remember what happens now but a short time. The friends were royally entertained at a 4 o’clock luncheon, at which “Grandma” Lowe and Mrs. Iliff asked the blessing. Those present were Mrs. Wm. Hoover, Mrs. E. L. Fidler, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Alf Hoover, Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Iliff, Mrs. Tullis, Mrs. Kessinger, Mrs. Julius Huff, Mrs. Bowers, Miss Hattie Iliff, Mrs. Welsh and Mrs. Michaels.

Former Jasperite Writes Note of Encouragement From Jamestown.

Dear Editor: As we can’t hear from our old neighbors and friends without The Republican I am enclosing $2 for which please renew my subscription and send the InterOcean for one year. We are having fine weather. People have commenced farming and Hoosiers are all in good health. Mr. Heuson and family live just across the road from us. With so many Hoosiers around us it is hard for one to realize that they are so far away from old Indiana. On my birthday a crowd of 49 came to my house and of this number an even 30 were Hoosiers, while there were many others in the neighborhood with whom we are personally acquainted who were not present. My brother, Sidney B. Holmes, and family live 12 miles from us, but we see them often and my old friend, T. O. Brown, and family live about 41 miles from us. Roy Scott is working on a ranch 2 miles frdm us and getting $35 a month. James Stanley is only a mile from us. This Is a good place for young men.—Samuel H. Holmes. » ' M ' ■ ■■ ■ ■ . I.— Edward Kane, a young Chicago pedestrian, started out Tuesday afternoon to break the walking record between Chicago and Portland, Me. He will follow the roads used by Edward Payson Weston.

RECORD-HERALD EDITOR SAYS MONEY WAS USED.

Merman H. Kohlsaat Says Fund of SIOO,OOO Was Used to Secure tbo Election of Lorlmer. T , - —7‘T-, ■ m-iu-mrfn- i --r — ‘ Herman H. Kohlsaat, proprietor of the Chicago Record-Herald, who was called to testify before the Illinois state senate, has stated that he has knowledge that was raised to secure the election of William Lorimer, of Chicago, to the United States senate. Kohlsaat, however, refused to divulge the source of his information, claiming that it wbuld be a breach of confidence. His action blocked the proceedings. He will be called again on April 6th and if he still refuses to give the information he may be adjudged guilty of contempt and sentenced to jail. Should the senate committee not care to take this - action it will provide an * easy way of getting around embarrassing questions that are to be asked of other witnesses, who could say that they could not answer Without being guilty of a “breach of confidence.” The following is the dialogue that took place in an effort to get Kohlsaat to disgorge information: “Did your informant say he was asked for $10,000?” asked Attorney Healy for the committee. “I decline to answer,” he said. “Did he say that nine other men had been agked for SIO,OOO each?” "I refuse to answer.” “Would you denounce any citizen who takes the stand you have here?” asked Senator Burton. “Any man who will violate a confidence is not worth a snap. I would not let my court reporter violate a confidence. No newspaper man can violate a confidence. That is my code of morals,” replied the publisher. “You have been demanding this investigation, and now you refuse to aid us, 1 ’ said a committee member. “i appreciate the position,, but I will not violate this confidence,” concluded Mr. Kohlsaat. The comtaittee then went into an executive conference. Every one except Mr. Kohlsaat, Attorney Healy members of the committee were ordered out of the room. The questions were again put to Mr, Kohlsaat in this secret session. Again he refused absolutely to answer, The doors were then reopened and Mr, Kohlsaat was given a third opportunity to answer the questions of the committee. This he again refused to do.

Did Anyone Ever Do Anything For Dear Old Rensselaer?

A recent article in The Republican suggesting that some people who have made their fortunes in Rensselaer do something for the old town, created considerable comment. At Seymour, Ind., last week a hospital was dedicated to the city in memory of Louis Schenck, who was for years a prominent citizen and for some time a state senator. The building cost about $20,000 and the widow of the late citizen gave it in his memory for uses for all people needing hospital treatment and it will be Maintained by general taxation. It consists of 25 rooms, including wards for men and women. It is finished throughout with white enamel and hard wood floors. It is in every way a modern and model hospital and the physicians of Seymour will have many of their patients treated there. And it bears the name of the Schick Memorial Hospital. It will always bear that name and the generous gift will immortalize the donor in Seymour. How easy it would be for some Rensselaer citizen to do something of this sort for Rensselaer.

Rensselaer May Have isit From Several Air Ships.

Manager J. H. S. Ellis, of the Rensselaer opera house, has been in correspondence with an amusement company that is holding aviation meets. He has partially arranged for a meeting to 4>e held in Rensselaer at so far distant date. If arrangements are made (he meet will probably be he * in the ball park and the expense would be defrayed by charging an admission. It would doubtless draw a lnr4 s crowd here. A Cincinnati bonding house has been maklqg suggestions to Indians county treasurers as to how to evade the recent law exempting gravel road bonds from taxation. The law does not apply to bonds issued previous to March 4. This house kindly suggests that such unsold bonds be rescinded and a new issue ordered. They claim that by doing this the reissued bonds will be exempt from taxation and will be of more ready sale.

George O. Bales came over from Goodland, the only “wet” town* so far in this section of the state. He says that the greatest factor in making Goodland “wet” was the laxity of law enforcement in the prosecution of violators of the liquor laws. He says that Goodland has been considerably “wet” for a long time. He heard no charges of illegal voting there and thinks there will be no contest of the election, notwithstanding the fact' that the “wet” majority was only 5. -Under the law Goodland can have only two saloons. Three men have applied for q license, and the commissioners next Monday will determine which shall be the two. Presuming that the Newton county commissioners are all honest men and the saloonkeepers are possessed of the requisite “good moral characters,” the two best men will get the licenses. But there is a fine opening for a little graft or a big graft. The men who get licenses in Goodland will be able to conduct the saloons indefinitely, being relicensed year after year unless Goodland some day after two years goes “dry.” The license will be worth a lot of money and in many places there would be some bidding for it. The democrats haye contended for some years for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people because of the graft opportunity of the present method of election. Now Indiana democrats pass a law that makes graft in the issue of saloon licenses easy. It will be “easy picking” for commissioners in the larger counties, where there are several times the number of applications than there are to be licenses issued.

The Last Round Up

Which the stock company brings for their next offering is a western story of the Arizona plains, somewhat on the order of “Under Arizona Skies,” with which they opened their season. It is the story of an eastern girl who falls heir to a western ranch and goes west to run it; her trials and tribulations; a staunch foreman, a- band of cattle thieves; an aunt who doesn’t like men, and “Doc,” the cowboy who “ain’t got no use for women,” all go to make up an exceptionally interesting story, so interspersed with comedy that it might be called a continuous grin.
