Last night.was Swift and Swift's opening appearance here but they probably will play to a big audience tonight and Wednesday night, as their act alone it well worth the price of admission. \

John has grown to be quite a lad and is making a name forhimself as a baseball player and champion runner. He has won several medals and a watch in the past few months. —Monticello Journal. t- - - Beginning August Ist, the Monon will try the experiment of collectors on through passenger runs. Men will be sent out from the-auditing department to collect tickets and fares and conductors will have nothing to do except to look after the running of trains. If the plan is satisfactory, collectors will be sent on the plug runs. The plan was used by the Wabash railroad for sometime but has been discontinued. William Bond, who moved from Jasper county to New Buffalo, Mich., some time ago, is now engaged in the grocery and drug business in that town. In writing to have The Repub lican sent to him, he says: “I graduated from the New Buffalo high school this spring. In April my father bought a store for me, and believe me I had to do some humping to keep store and school in mind. They I had to hire two clerks but now I’ve put in a meat market and this caused me to hire a butcher. Now all four of us are on a. continual go.”

Mr. O’Shaugftinessey, attorney for the" match factory people, was here yesterday, and met the city council last evening and discussed the matter of putting in the water mains and signing the contract providing for the same. He said that the contract was satisfactory to the company wito the exception of the clause requiring them to give bond to take the water for a term of five years. He states that it is impossible to give a surety bond, as there is -no company that issues a bond of that kind. He said that they were wjlling to give security for the carrying out of tiheir part of the contract and the contract was today changed to meet his views. He took it to Chicago to be signed by the directors and claims that they will go ahead with the paying off of claims and the other requirements of the contract

Mr. Wilson, chief engineer for the Purtelle interurban road, and three railroad men, were here a short time Saturday evening in the interest of the road. They arranged with a local attorney while here to look up certain matters connected with the subsidy voted for the road, and stated they would be back here in a few days. Mr. Wilson expressed his confidence while here in the early construction of the road and said they hoped to get' matters in shape by the last of the month eo as to begin the work of securing the right-of-way and of construction at that time. If the road is built construction work will ■’begin at this point first, the object being to complete the work through the township at an early date. Prospects for an interurban for Rensselaer are constantly growing brighter since Purtelle has assigned his rights to others, and if this road is not; built it is almost certoin that some other company will build through here in the next two or three years, as a result of the agitation given the matter through the Purtelle project

Prison Binder Twine Now All Sold Out

Michigan City News. For the first tiihe in the history of the binder twine industry at the state prison the supply has been disposed of. Saturday night a train of nine cars, laden with the state’s product, was started on its way from the big penal institution. Each car contained its capacity of 30,000 lb®. Saturday’® consignment increased the week’s shipment to 1,000,000 lbs. The binder twine plant has a capacity of 9,000 pounds daly, and Warden Fogarty is now preparing for next year’s supply. When this season opened the storehouse contained 3,000,000 pounds of the twine. The shipments are made all over the country, and Warden Fogarty is more than .pleased with the success he is having. Indiana farmers almost exclusively use the prison made twine and since the method of selling was changed the business has materially increased. Heretofore the twine was sold only to dealers. Now it is sold directly to the farmers. Under the former arrangement the state never knew how successful it was until the end of the season when unsold portions of shipments were returned to the prison. The present method does away with the return shipments, and according to the warden, he is yet to hear the first complaint on the twine.

A Political Gag For Postmasters And Federal Office Holders.

A wholesale political gag for postmaster? and other federal office holders is provided in the bill of Representative Hull (democrat) favorably reported to the house by the house reform-in-civtt-service committee. The measure bars all federal appointees under penalty of a fine of SSOO and summarily dismissal from office, from being a delegate to any district, state or national convention, or becoming “perniciously active in politics.” Some of the features of the R-C-ls jcar are most axle clearance of any car, Warner auto-meter, tally-ho horn, center control, automatic sparker, straight line drive shaft, Bosch magneto, non-skid tires, jiffy curtains, etc. And best of all, the car is sold for S9OO, fully equipped. This price includes everything. You do not buy tbb car and then have to spend two or three hundred dollars before you are ready to take a trip. If interested ask John Knapp, the local agent,-*for M free demonstration. ' :

Addition to De Peyster School To Be Completed Next Week.

The work of the De Peyster School’ and Monnett Home for Girls will be much enlarged by the new addition which will be completed in about a week. There will be eight new bedrooms besides a bathroom, large dining room and school room, and an airy basement Jo be used for play rooms. There will be accommodation for about thirty girls. This school is not an orphanage, though many orphans will find there a home and school combined, with the motherly care and guidance of Methodist deaconesses, who do the entire work of the school and home. Some of our students are not in financial need, but we receive letters almost daily begging us to take unfortunate little girls whose admission or refusal will mean for them, education and loving care, or neglect and often the greatest moral danger, yet for whom there is no money. It breaks our hearts to be obliged to turn away so many of these. To support a little girl in this school costs about $144 for the year of twelve months, at the rate of sl2 a month. The board of trustees has recently been enriched by the election of two representative men, Mr. George Myers, mayor of Rensselaer, and the Rev. C. L. Harpor, pastor of the Methodist church. The other members of the board are Mrs. Julia O. Warrington, of Chicago, president; and Miss Winifred Thompson, of Chicago, secretary. To these will soon be added, the name of Mrs. Rella Cromwell Fell, of Rensselaer. In course of time the entire board will be chose* from Rensselaer. Working in harmony with this board for the interest of the Monnet Home is the Northwest Indiana Conference Deaconness Board, consisting of O. B, Rippetoe, president; W. H. Fertich, secretary; A. L. Miller, N. A. Chamberlain, Mrs. J. C. Martin, T. J. Bassett, T. T. Everett, J. E. McCloyd and Mrs. Rella Cromwell Fell. This beautiful new addition should npt be dedicated with debt. We have been made very happy this week by the gift of SSOO from New York, which we believe must come as a direct answer to prayer. But there is about S7OO which must be raised soon. The total cost of t the building has been $3,600, including entire new heating plant, lighting and 5 construction.* This money is all paid with the exception of the S7OO. Furnishings for the eight new bedrooms are needed. These rooms may be furnished at a cost of $25 or S3O a room. The name of any individual or Epworth league furnishing a room, will be placed on the door.

Gullible Public Gives Millions to Fake Promoters.

X ’ According to the old adage that a “sucker is born every minute,” 525,600 of them come to this earth during each year. : Edch of the crop which ripened to the plucking stage netted a profit of the swindlers of 1228.30 thjs season. . At least that was their per capita loss, as the statement of Postmaster General Hitchcock, made public Memday, shows that the American people were filched of 1120,000,000 during the fiscal year. This is an incerase of 150,000,000 over the aggregate of last year. The number of those who reaped the profits of the crop is not known, but 1,063 of them were caught while, gathering the harvest. During the year, which ended June 30 last, 452 of these harvesters were convicted , and sentenced. Neither the suckers nor their despoilers come from any one‘walk of life. The swindlers now face lean and hungry years, as the recent orders to postofflee inspectors will make their business both less profitable and more perilous to them. Postmaster General Hitchcock’s order to collect evidence that would warrant criminal prosecution of the swindlers gradually is building a Wall bf protection around the suckers. Before that the punishment was only a fraud order forbidding the delivery of mail to such operators, who worried but little. They merely changed their names, addresses, and title of their “business,” continuing their operations until another fraud order caught up with them.
