MANY PEOPLE SAW THE NEW “HOOSIER LIMITED.”

Train Will Make First Run Next Sunday—Everywhere Pronounced V • A Mighty Fine Train. The engine and the cars that will compose the “Hoosier Limited’* train to run on or dear the time of present trains 30 and 33 on the Monon railroad, were halted in Rensselaer for a few minutes at noon today to give the large crowd assembled at the depot an opportunity to go through the cars and see how nice they are. Close to three hundred people were at the station and most of them went from the front to the rear of the train. The mall car, the combination baggage and smoking car, the ladies* coaches, the dining and observation cars are of exquisite interior finish and the train will be one of the best trains that ever ran over an Indiana railroad, and a great drawing card for traffic between Indianapolis and Chicago. The upholstering is of a very attractive quality and the general appearance of the train is very Inviting. The dining car is also very beautiful and the furniture the nicest that is placed in dining cars. The chair car, with its observation advantages, is indeed a big improvement over anything heretofore seen on the Monon railroad. The entire train indicates that the present policy of the road’s officials is one of progress. The officials who were on the train were very much pleased to see so large a crowd of Rensselaer people on hand to examine the coaches and they expressed themselves as being very greatly pleased with the new train. It will make its first mu. next Sunday, going south at about 1:58 and the other train coming north at about 5:50. -- . e - T ... .... ...

Earl Clouse was quite severely injured Monday afternoon when the saddle on a horse he was riding turned and the horse ran away, dragging him for some distance. The horse was ordinarily as gentle as a lamb, but when the saddle turned and Earl was thrown to her side, she started to run and he would probably have been killed if she had not voluntarily come to a halt As it was, he was dragged for a block along West South street, the animal halting at the cemetery. Earl was bruised about the Jaack and suffered a severe strain of the right wrist and has a broken bone in the right hand. He was able to be about yesterday, however, and considers himself lucky that his injuries are no worse.

FUN FEST FOUND FAVOR FOR FOUNTAIN PARKITES.

A Little Folly Now and Then Is Mixed In With the More Serious Things jT At the Chautauqua. (From Our Special Correspondent.) The atmosphere of Fountain Park is vibrant with success. The scheduled program thus far has been presented without one failure and the management are assured that only illness will prevent the fulfillment of the remainder. The taler* is all of a high grade and so many lines of thought and amusement are presented that the various tastes of the attentive crowds cannot but be gratified. Fountain Park is growing and improving, and is carrying its sympathetic admirers and attendants in its Improvement In its infancy the idle and curious made it a resort. Enjoyment of the program was often impossible because of their inattention and disturbances. Now, after seventeen years, we find, as on Judge Lindspy day, an audience of earnest listeners, representative men and women Of each community, those who are helping to make history, who knew of Judge Lindsey’s work and message, and came for further education. The future success of the Assembly seems assured.

An organization of the ladies is being effected that promises much assistance to the management The second Sunday ranks with the Sam Jones and Bryan days, banner days of the past, with over 6,000 people, and 316 autos. The fifty cottages are full and about twenty tents are pitched, making a lively little village. Monday night, when the funfest was on, amusement and laughter held full sway. Jack Johnson, a gentleman of color, just back from the coronation, lead the Eastsiders in a grotesque procession, while the victorious Westsiders were headed by a gaily decked herd of Shetland ponies, followed by a line of marchers as grotesque as the East, but much longer, hence the leader, W. C. Smalley, won the prize. The platform manager in tones of eloquence and words appropriate to the occasion, presented to him the prize, a gold medal, which seemed like unto a full moon suspended from a gold brick. Uncle Sam (Jerome Biddle) received as a prize a copy of Snowbound for uniqueness of costume. Manager Calhoun quoting “Had we the gift, the giftie gie us,” introduced the Hobble Skirt Girl, admirably carried out by-Master Rob Stoudt. The fest will bear repetitiqn. . . C. L. S. C. day was a success from a Chautauquan point of view. The circle added four new members to the “Society of the Hall in the Grove.” The class of 1910 were all present, also a graduate of 1907. Weather conditions were favorable for the Recognition Day March, a noted feature in a Chautauqua graduation exercise. The reunion of Chautauqua readers Was the largest of the three reunions thus far held at this Assembly. The management has assured the circle of a -place in each program and as there is a 1912 class, hopes are raised that the Recognition day ceremony next year will be more complete than ever before.

The ladies of the Park and this community, with Mrs. Heiny temporary chairman, organized Tuesday to assist the Park management as only ladies can. . The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. C.' H. Peck; Vice-President, Mrs. Landon; Secretary, Mrs., Howard; Treasurer, Mrs. C. B. Johnston. The president is to appoint a vice-president in each surrounding town. Dr. H. H. Peters, of Eureka, 111., delivered the Monday sermon lecture, which was a very interesting talk on the study of the new testament. Miss Peterson and Miss Elsie .Brown entertained the Assembly at 2:30 p. m., assisted by the Hruby Concert Co. At 7:30 p. m. was the first enter- | tainment of “funfest.” It was an evening of clean enjoyment. The Westsiders won the prize for the largest number in parade, which was a large gold medal. The Eastsiders won the prize for the most unique costumes. Mr. J. H. Biddle won the prize. Mr. W. C. Smalley was the captain for the westside and the Rev. J. Bennett for the east side. All were united in their praise for the work done, and hope that this will be made a special feature in years to come. The Hruby Concert Co. gave an evening entertainment Tuesday’s program was carried out and in addition there was a ball game between Brook , and Whdeua, which was won by Wadena 10 to 3. 'Joseffy, the illusionist, presented an evening of music, magic and mystery.

He is skillful and endowed with the gift of mystery. Rev. Bennett left Wednesday morning to deliver the address for the I.' O. O P. at Brook. . Mrs. B. F. Ware, Mrs. Essons, Mrs. Dave Hess, Mrs. W. Harring and Mrs. M. A. Stroll were Brook callers. The auto count made at the Park last Sunday showed the largest number of automobiles in any one day of Fountain Park. There were 316 here. Among that number 108 were Fords and 28 E. M. F.’s. There were thirtysix different makes of cars on the grounds. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Reed, of South Dakota, who used to teach at Brook, were at the Park Sunday, and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Newell. They were disappointed in not seeing all their friends. '

Crawfordsville Deputy P. M. Short Between $800 and $1,000.

Edward Dennis, the deputy postmaster at Crawfordsville, was'tound short in his accounts between SBOO and SI,OOO by the postoffice- inspector a few days ago. The shortage was made good by the postmaster, R. C. Walkup, who dismissed Dennis. Dennis later confessed to the shortage, admitting that he had been guilty of small peculations for some time and had succeeded in covering up the shortage by counting the stamps when the inspector »came around and reporting;, enough on hand to make the accounts right. This time the inspector counted the stamps himself and discovered the shortage. Dennis received a salary of $1,300. An effort was lAade to keep the shortage a secret and have it appear that Dennis had resigned, but one of the members of a committee that went over the accounts for Dennis, confided to his wife that Dennis was short. She went to a theatre and told another woman, and then it went like wildfire.

Suggestion From Auto Owner That Might Well Be Adopted.

Editor Republican: As the mad dogs are all killed, the automobile speeders all regulated, the machines all properly numbered, the weeds all cut, and the main streets properly cleaned, the motorcycle alone has the right of way. Why should it not be a good time to clear all streets in the city of all loose stones, as well as Washington street? These loose stones could be readily removed and thrown in some place for fill. They are very hard on all vehicles and will never work into the road bed. The roads in the country are better kept than ip the city. AUTO OWNER.
