Indiana Society Preparing For Indianapolis Outing

The entertainment committee of the Indiana Society of Chicago, of which William B. Austin is chairman, passed through Rensselaer on a special car today, Wednesday, at 11:30 a. m., bound for Indianapolis to make ar rangements for the society’s outing to be held there June 23 and 24. The outing will be unique and elaborate. We are headquarters for warm weather specialties; bartfoot sandals, oxfords, cushion sole shoes and everything which affords comfort to tired, aching feet. Fendig’s Exclusive Shoe Store, Opera House Block. 1 / Jay Stockton insists that he has not been fooled by the evening star. He knows that star and has seen it and the strange light at the same, time. For the past few nights the light has not appeared. Jay said that its movements were just the same as those of an airship described to him and is convinced that some person was enjoying a night ride in the sky. He wrote to the Chicago Stock Journal and there the theory was advanced that the light was a reflection on the clouds of the light from the American steel plant at Gaiy. That was too thin, however, as this light was no reflection. The mystery deepens. Can you help solve it

W. H. Overmeyer was down from Roselawn Monday. He was interested in the letter that Attorney-General Honan wrote to The Republican and in which that official carefully sidestepped giving an opinion as to whetli er a township with less than one thousand people that voted “wet ’ would have a saloon. Mr. Overmeyer is "interested from the temperance standpoint and knows that his town and township are better off without saloons, even though there hre evidenced of clandestine sales. He has received an opinion from the attorney for the Anti-Saloon League that if a township votes “wet” that it will ultimately be giver a saloon by the courts, if the population exceeds 500, no matter what action the county commissioners take. This opinion is based upon a careful study of the law, which the attorney-general don’t care to risk an opinion on.
