Why Not Have Saturday Night Concerts Here?

A Delphi citizen cards the papers of that city advocating the change of band, concert night from Thursday to Saturday. Her says: “lit will draw people from a large radius, therefore better and larger attendance and more trade. It comes at a time of the week that does not break into the farmers’ business and they will be more willing to come themselves or to let those come they have under their charge, for the rest day that follows will be used as devinely intended. “All stores are open and will get more trade from one large crowd than two small ones and the advertising reaches further and does more.good. It is the only night in the week that our churches or secret orders do not use.” About the same conditions prevail in Rensselaer, and it might be well to gjve some attention here to the selection of the best night.

DITCH CASE BEGUN; TO BE RESUMED JUNE 3.

John W. Hanan Opened Case and Provided for Continuance; W&l Be Legal Battie.

John W. Hanan, of LaGrange, who was appointed by Governor Marshall to sit as special judge in the hearing of the Borntrager, et al, ditch case, that being the scheme of lowering and straightening the channel of the Iroquois river southwest from the mouth of the Sternberg ditch, came here Saturday and' opened the case, listening to a statement by Attorney ivorge A. Williams, the attorney for the petitioners. Mr. Williams told of the need of the ditch to complete the drainage started by the Sternberg ditch and anticipated the objection that will be offered by the remonstrators and discussed them at some length. He was followed by Attorney Halleck, wh6 spoke for the remonstrators in general, setting out the legal objections on which they hope to escape assessment. He also told what evidence would be furnished to support his position. City Attorney Moses Leopold then spoke against the assessment of 32,500 against the city of Rensselaer and.the town of Remington for $250. He contended that the viewers’ report did not show the basis of the \ assessment, whether against the school or civil city, whether for purpose of drainage and sewage of streets and alleys or on all the property in the two corporations. As to which fund would be liable for the assessment, the road or the corporation fund. If neither were sufficient to pay the assessment who would he taxed, all the people or only the real estate owners? Mr. Leopold further contends that the viewers' report is so vague as regards the assessments against the two corporations as to make them void.

Mr. Hanan made no rulings of importance but determined on June 3rd as the date for reopening the case at a special session of the court. Attorney Jesse E. Wilson, of Hammond, and Attorney Emery Sellers, of Monticello, who represent a number of remonstrators, will speak at that time. It is probable that the case will occupy about all the month of June and possibly longer. Attorney Hanan is said to be a ditch lawyer of ability and to have acted as special judge in a number of other important, ditch cases and there is general satisfaction -at his selection tor special judge.

Rensselaer Young Men In Automobile Accident

. While- out automobile riding near DeMotte last night,'the machine driven by Ed Kanne, turned partially over, throwing its occupants in the ditch. Ed Kanne, Harry Eger, Mell Haas, Vern Haas and John Knox were in the machine. Ed Kanne and Vern Haas sustained the worst injuries, the others escaping almost unscratched. -- Ed Kanne was at the wheel driving the Ford. One light was in working order and it was sopaewhat dim. They were just turning in at the road onehalf mile west of DeMotte, when Kanne saw a rut extending entirely across the road. He slowed down before he got to it and in the attempt to drive around it, two wheels went over the side of the ditch. Kanne was unable to get away from the incline and after driving about 25 feet he stopped the engine. The machine was unbalanced by stopping the engine and it tipped half way over. The glass front was broken and the steering gear bent; Kanne and Knox were not pinned down in ahy way and easily righted the machine in a short time. Five minutes’ time did not elapse from the time the spill occurred until they were cm their way again. Had they been going at a fair rate of speed, no doubt serious accidents would have happened. On account of slowing for the rut in the road they probably were not going more than 10 or 12 miles an hour.

A piece of glass pierced Kanne's right leg just above the ankle and it is thought it bruised the bone. He did not complain of the cut and it wasn’t treated until this morning. Vern Haas was injured internally, but is not in a serious way.

License Granted to Run A Saloon at Wheatfield.

George W. Tilton, of Wheatfield, whose application for a saloon license was rejected a year ago by the county commissioners on the ground that there were not a thousand people in Wheatfield township and who carried the case to the circuit court, receiving e reversal of the commissioners when the case was tried recently at Knox, was In Rensselaer this Monday morning and was granted a license. This will be the only saloon in Jasper county, all others having been voted or remonstrated out. Even the temperance people at Wheatfield seem to think that a licensed saloon Wlll be better than the bootlegging methods that have existed unmolested for a long time, and all say that George Tilton Is a good citizen and will run his place according to law. He has been paying rent on a vacant room for some time,,in order to be ready to occupy it with a bar when the license was granted and now he will start ,up within a few days. - ■ 11 — 1 ■■■' I'.f Jim Kepner, of Francesville, was here yesterday as the guest of Miss Nellie Grant.

Wheatfield Trustee Badly Burned in Alcohol Explosion.

- Albert S. Keene, trustee of Wheatfield township, was In town today,, attending the monthly meeting of trustees and called at The Republican office. He is recovering from some quite severe burns received in an accident at his store a week ago last Saturday. He was using some wood alcohol to generate his gasoline lights. The cup for the fluid did not contain enough to start the lights and Albert followed the common custom of squirting the wood alcohol from the can to the flame. Suddenly the fluid in the can ignited and an explosion followed and Albert was knocked to the floor. He say that the flames had been communicated to a mattress In his store and that the entire building was in danger and he forgot his own Injuries while fighting the progress of the flames. He soon had them subdued and then found himself quite exhausted and painfully burned. He succeeded in reaching the door of his store and called Alfred Barlow, who got a doctor. Albert was frightfully burned about the face and hands, but none of the burns were very deep and they are now practically healed.
