The question of whether savings /banks have a legal right to pay interest on deposits has been raised by the federal department of Justice. Auditor of State W. H. O’Brien has received a request for information in regard to the legality of paying interest, and has found that there is no law which authorizes such payment. He also has been informed by the attorney general that no court decisions have been rendered on the proposition. It is understood that the department is'making an investigation in all states of the union. —1 _ t Deering binders, mowers and rakes for sale by Hamilton & Kellner.

TOPPED CHICAGO MARKET WITH LOAD OF CATTLE.

Charles P. Moody Waa Paid BMSO Per Hundred, Which is Highest .Price For Jasper Stock. - Charles P. Moody, of Barkley township, with a load of ‘ 1,260 pound steers, got the fancy price of $9.60 per hundred last Monday at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. This is the highest price, we are informed, that was ever paid for a load of Jasper county cattle. It was withfaf 10 cents of the top price paid in Chicago that day. The cattle were branded Western two-year-olds, which had been fed on ensilage. Ed J. Randle, Frank Hill, S. R. Nichols and J. M, Wasson each had a load of cattle on the market that day. Randle received $8.85; Hill $8.25; Nichols $7.75 and Wasson $7.60. Ed Randle, of Barkley township, who is ono of the state’s ablest feeders, contracted a load for delivery in thirty days for $9.75, which is 15 cents higher than the price paid Mr. Moody. The splendid prices show the high esteem in which Jasper county cattle are held by the buyers in the stock yards.

Questioned Right of Savings Banks to Pay Interest

TO BRICK STREETS; MOVEMENT DISCUSSED.

Petition Will Probably B« Circulated - Providing For Improvement of Washington, Cullen and Forest. A number of citizens, included in which are several property owners along the streets affected, have within the past few days been talking of a project to have Washington street bricked from the bridge to Cullen street and the improvement continued on Cullen and Forest streets to the railroad. The improvement is very timely and should be commenced without delay and if possible completed yet this fall. Col. Fred Phillips, who owns considerable property fronting on College avenue, would be glad to stand his part of the expense of having the improvement extended to the college Or at least to the corporation line. He also thinks the improvement should not ‘stop at the railroad on Forest street, but be taken to the corporation line at the north part of town. Delphi has Bplendid streets throughout the business section. Bithulitic pavement wafe used and streets built seven years ago are as good as they were the day they were completed and apparently will last for an indefinite period. If Cullen and Forest streets are not paved this year much damage will result to them during the winter and the Improvement will. have to be taken up later anyway and there seems no advantage In delay. While it seemed prdtable jusL after the depot location was changea that a wider street Would be needed, that does not appear to be the case ifow and the street as it is will be able to handle all the travel. To construct It wider would materially add to the expense and would cause a number who have built curbs to go to the unnecessary expense of building new ones. , Washington street 'between Front and Cullen has been pitted all year with small holes and repairs give only little relief and the street never looks as Well as it should in a city with the excellent business buildings there are here. In the interest of progress it is certainly hopefj that a petition is started without delay.

Lightning Bugs Used Instead of Electricity.

Driven northward by a heavy -storm, millions of lightning bugs from the Kankakee marshes have invaded the towns of AetilSjind Miller, near Gary. The town board at Miller ordered the electric lights turned off because the light from the bugs, It was said, was sufliclent to light the town. Several foreigners employed at the powder mills quit work, fearing an explosion when the flery-looking bugs swarmed down on the nitroglycerine vats.

“BLACK HAND” LETTER RECEIVED IN RENSSELAER

Brief Communication Threatens That Citizen Will Be Hung if He Fails ' to Comply With Demand. —— Probably the first “black hand” letter ever received in Rensselaer reached this city this Thursday morning. It was addressed to a prominent business man and threatens Ahat he will, be hung if he fails to comply with the demand of the senders. In the lower righthond corner Is the picture of a hand, drawn crudely in ink. The fingers are outstretched and the hand has the appearance of being ready to grab the man selected for the persecution of the “gang.” Strange to say the letter did not cause the recipient any worry, as he was able to see at a glance that it was all a joke. The recipient was J. L. Brady, who has just sold his elevator and grain business here. The senders were C. W. Coen and J. C. Paxton, of South Bend. The communication readß: Mr. J. L. Brady, Rensselaer, Ind., Dear Sir: A committee was appointed at 3 o’clock this afternoon to have you bung unless you decide to~ move to South Bend as soon as your business is settled up in Rensselaer. Yurs very truly, COMMITTEE. , It will be seen that South Bend boosters have a good way of influencing people to locate there. It will certainly be a great loss to Rensselaer to have Mr. Brady move away and if black band letters would do any good toward inducing him to- continue his residence here, he would find bis mail box full of them every time he went to the postofflee.

Kankakee Officers Chased Auto Thieves to Rensselaer.

Sheriff Dan Lee, Deputy Sheriff George Lancaster and Chief of Police Jackson, of Kankakee, 111., were in Rensselaer Wednesday afternoon in search of thieves who, had stolen a new 'Warren-Detroit automobile from that city. The auto was a 5-passenger $1,400 car. The thieves had been traced to this city and after reaching here the officers learned that the car had been taken to Francesville. They hoped to be able to locate the machine and thieves there.

Comparison of Telephone Cards Made by a Professional Man.

* • ; -V. ll The reactionary head, of The Jasper County Democrat has been feeling so disagreeable since he put on a misfit progressive costume that he has smeared the green from his liver into the ink with terrifically ill results to the front page of Kickers’ Mouthpiece. The last Issue of that discordant organ asked a comparison of the telephone cards, the ones printed this year by The Republican and the oneß printed last year by The Democrat. A Rensselaer professional man made a comparison. He said they looked alike, felt alike and he carried the comparison to the point of weighing - the cards and found that they weighed alike. As a matter of fact they are alike in all respects, the cardboard being the same ply and finish. will hardly accept * i long-winded bellow about telephone cards as an excuse for defying the progressive sentiment In the party With a bluff to “fight” Bryan. It is no use, Brother Bilious, Just take another bitch at your suspenders and do your best to make the pesky things hold your progressive breeches up high enough to hide your well-tailored reactionary ones.
