CEMETERY TRUSTEES TURN DOWN MAUSOLEUM PLAN.

Refuse to Deed Place In Cemetery For Building and Frown on Erection of General Vault. Two men who have been trying to interest the cemetery trustees and others in the erection of a mausoleum have failed to impress them and also the city council and the city attorney that their plan is deserving of consideration. *

They ask the trustees to deed to them without cost a plat of ground large enough to erect a 300-crypt mausoleum, which they propose to build and take the chances of selling the vaults at prices ranging from 9150 to 9200 each. The trustees were told that Lowell, Crown Point, Val-< paraiso, Kankakee and other places had gone into the plan and that Monticello was Just getting ready to build one. They explained the advantages of the mausoleum form of burial and showed illustrations and plans that were very attractive. The mausoleums are erected with a large chapel within and are nicely finished interiorly witfi marble. The trustees did not feel, however, that they cared to deed ground in . the cemetery to aid a scheme to make money and figured out how easily the promotors could clean up from 520,000 to 530,000 on the deal, an<J they decided not to deed the ground and not to permit the mausoleum to be built in the cemetery grounds unless I£ey should decide to build one at some future time, when, they say, they will save to purchasers the promoters’ profit. The promoters, however, are reluctant to leave and have procured an option for the purchase of property adjacent to the cemetery, where they say they will build if the cemetery trustees do not decide to let them build in the cemetery. City Attorney Leopold has been advising with the trustees and Is opposed to the erection of a mausoleum by any company that seeks to big profit and he says that city ordinance restricts the burial of dead outside the cemetery, and that even if the promoters acquired property outside the cemetery, but inside the corporation, burials could not be made therein.- It is probable that the promoters will be unable to do any business here.

Elkhart Auto Tourists Have Accident North of Rensselaer.

An Elkhart party consisting of Mr.' and Mrs. Harry Schreiner and three children and Mrs. Shriner’s sisrte, Miss Lulu Schrock, were compelled to continue their trip to Chicago by train Thursday morning on account of a disabled automobile. They were out for a pleasure trip and had visited at Angola, Frankfort and other places and passed through Rensselaer Wednesday evening at about 9 o’clock. They expected to reach Aix, their gujde map showing it to be a town, and they expected to be able to procure lodging there. They bad some tire trouble when about five miles north of town and while getting it repaired a Rensselaer doctor went by and told thorn that they had better return to Rensselaer for the night This they decided to do, t but 1} backing up their big Sterling car to turn round, they hanked into the ditch and in trying to pqH out broke their transmission. Tbsy procured another car to bring them to town and proceeded to Chicago on the 10:05 train. Mr. Shriner first went to where the car was left last night and got a farmer to pull it out of the ditch and then ran it into a Rensselaer garage on low speed. He will return here with repairs and take the car’on to Chicago, where they will visit relatives.

Purtelle Still Trying to Build His Interurban Road.

Eugene Purtelle, the Interurban promoter, was in town again Thursday and Friday. He neither admits nor denies that he has abandoned the part of the line through Rensselaer. He states that the part of the line from the Kankakee river to Thayer will be pushed to early completion, and intimates that the route south from Mt. Ayr will depend upon how much help is given him by those along the proposed line. He states that men will be put to work in the vicinity of Thayer as fast as he can secure them and that he will use 500 men if he can hire that many. He says that a small force is now at work, which will be increased daily, and that tents have been erected on the ground to accommodate the laborers.

His engineer, Mr. Slyback, who was here this week, stated that arrangements had been made with the Monon railroad to furnish dirt for the long fill between Thayer and the river, and also that enough second-hand rails had been purchased from the Monon to lay several miles of track. He also stated that a car load of timber had been received over the Monon from Chicago for use on the work near Thayer, and Mr. Purtelle while here exhibited a receipted freight bill for the shipment. It is reported in some quarters that the Monon is backing this road, but this report may be taken for what it is considered worth, as may the other statements.

No Insurance was carried on the household goods, which were taken from the building and suffered but little damage.

WEATHER FORECAST. Fair tonight, cooler; Saturday fair. Aug. 19 —Sun rises 5:14; sets 6:54.

The amount expended in the town and city schools was $56,531.50. The average per diem for teachers in the country was $2.55, and the average in towns and city was $3.39. The value of the school property of the county is $155,350. The township institutes cost $1,706.19. Mr. Lamson prepared his report in purple and red typewriter figures and it was a very neat one. Farmers near El wood have reported to the police that men and boys from that city are making nightly raids on their hen coops, milk houses and corn fields. The thieves appear in the neighborhood well dressed and driving good buggies, giving the impression they are out for a drive. After surveying the country they get under cover until late in the night when they load their rigs with plunder and drive back to town. The farmers |**e posted sentries at crossroads sad guards about their barns. ..... Ned Waggaman, of Kokomo, accidentally shot himself with a revolver Monday, the bullet entering his stomach and penetrating the bowels. There are slight hopes for his recovery.
