JEFFERSON CLUB HOP TO BE SEASON’S FEATURE

Very Pleasant Time and Large Crowd Anticipated at Club’s Annual i Thanksgiving Dance. The Jefferson Club is making great preparations to make their' Thanksgiving hop the social event of the season. The old decorations were torn down and the armory will be redecorated. Douglass, the popular colored musician, of Indianapolis, will be here with a four-piece orchestra. The impression has gone forward that the dance was to be a program affair, and that impression is to be corrected, as no programs are to be allowed and those who had made them have consented to discard them. This will give the correct tone to the informal dance, and to correct the impression that programs were being made, is the object of this article. Everything that will tend to make the dance the most pleasant and successful one that ever has been given here, will be* done by the club. The Invitations went out a w;eek ago, and if any out of town guests have not been supplied, any member of the Jefferson' Club will be pleased to see that you are taken care of. Mrs. Mary Jane Hopkins has returned from Monticella and will again' take up her residence here. If you have a hat you wish made over or a new one made, come in this week, as our millinery season closes soon. Rowles & Parker, The Big Store. Mrs. J. Wright and daughter, Charlotte, of Chicago, came Sunday for a few days’ visit with Mrs. Sarah Platt and family. Mrs. William Haskins and little daughter returned -to Chicago today after a week’s visit with Mrs. Vincent Eisele, Who is recovering slowly from her poor health, which required a second severe operation. Mrs. Sarah Platt, of the east part of town, was pleasantly surprised. Sunday at noon by a number of her neighbors, the occasion being her fortyseventh birthday. All present spent a very enjoyable day. Purdue had little trouble in disposing of Indiana at football last Saturday, the score being 34 to 7. The state university team looked to be the best for a short time and succeeded In closing the first half with the score 7 to 7. In the third and fourth periods, however, the Purdue “boiler makers” fairly played the Bloomington athletes off their feet. The Rensselaer people who saw the game enjoyed It very much. About 10,000 people saw the contest, Another freak election bet was pulled off over at Churubusco, Ind., the other day, when as a result of the ballot figures, the editor of ttye Truth of that town -had the pleasure of throwing two dozen eggs at a business man of the same place, the latter standing on a store box twenty paces from the editor. Nothing was said in the bet as to the kind of eggs, and’ accounts differ as to their age. But at that, the editor is either a mighty poor pitcher or the business man is a mighty good dodger, for only three of the two dozen eggs hit the target. Alexander Winski, a patient at St. Joseph hospital in f’t. Wayne, is about to be discharged well and strong enough to return to manual work, after recovering from a very unusual and difficult operation. He was taken to the hospital for treatment for stomach trouble of an aggravated character. Dr. Macßeth decided to operate, and he found the stomach in a condition that meant early death. He cut out the organ, sewed the lower intestines to the aesophagus and the patient’s canvalescence has been highly satisfactory. Rensselaer people should not fail to attend the entertainment at the M. E. church Tuesday evening. It is given by a union of all the churehes and is the annual benefit for the purpose of dividing a bounteous Thanksgiving dinner for the poor families of Rensselaer. That you will better able to enjoy your own dinner on that day If you have helped to make others fhappy, is the feeling that prompts the ministers and their aides in getting up this entertainment. Gifts of chickens, flour, fruit, etc., will be appreciated and it is further urged that the money offering be of liberal amount The program has been several times published in this paper. Don’t fail to attend the entertainment and to ,£elp provide for the less fortunate.

Mrs. Korah Daniels, whose husband went to Sioux City, Friday, on account of the sickness with typhoid fever of their son, Fred, received a letter today, written by Fred himself, which expressed a very encouraging outlook. It was written immediately after he had been taken to the hospital and before the disease was very far advanced. A card was also received from Korah, written Saturday evening, which said that Fred’s fever was then the highest it had so far been, and that he was slightly delirious, but that his condition was not at all critical. Fred is a member of the local Red Men lodge and members of that order at Sioux City had taken him to the hospital and were giving him every care. The secretary of the lodge there bad also advised the local lodge of Red Men that they were looking after him. He will be brought home as soon as be Can make the trip. ■ V

Tango Dance Finds Favor in Chicago Society.

The Argentine Tango, the new dance which is to replace such terpsichorean creations as the bunny hug and the turkey trot, has at last made' its formal debut in Chicago society. It came out at the second of the west end assemblies, and was received with instant favor. It was a modest, decorous dance as presented there. At the Evanston Country Club, however, according to popular report," it has been danced at small affairs, a little more vigorously, and has been received \tfith even, more favor. The prediction is made, that before the season is over it will have been danced at most of the large functions.

CASH.

On and after t)ecember 2, 1912, all sales amounting to one dollar or less will be made for cash only. HAMILTON & KELLNER.

In Judge DeHart’s court at Lafayette last week two Delphi rowdies were fined for having caused trouble on an interurban train. The incident occurred more than a year ago. The men, Grover Whiteman and Jess Wilson, went to Lafayette from. Delphi, got drunk and became vulgar and rude on tihe late car back to Delphi. The conductor of the interurban remonstrated with them and a fight ensued in the outskirts of Lafayette. The men were arrested and •/hen one of them was convicted in the Lafayette court both took an appeal to the circuit court and their cases were Just disposed of. Each was fined $25 and costs. Whitman had all the circuit court and city court costs, he having stood the appeal costs. He bad to pay $141.25. Wilson got off with $41.75. This goes to show that the courts do hot have any sympathy with drunken rowdies and a few doses of the law imposed on some young fellows who make a hog pen out of the southbound milk train after loading up with booze at Cedar Lake, might put a stop to a mighty bad practice and be a good thing for the men who are guilty of the practice. Next week unloading another car of White Star flour. Now is the time to lay In your winter’s supply, at $1.30 a sack. Rowles & Parker, The Big Store.

FEAR CHANGE IN PENSION POLICY

New Legislature Miaj Decide to Curtail Pensions of Union Yeterans —Much Uneasiness. Washington, D. C., Nov. 23.—Democratic members of congress from northern states, where the soldier vote was a potential factor in politics, are living in uneasiness these days over the prospect that the Wilson administration may reverse the liberal policy of the government toward pensioners of the civil war. It is expected that the' incoming administration will be governed largely by southern influences and sympathies and it is known that in each bsauch of congress there will be a hostile southern element that will sieze the opportunity to trp to put a check on pensions. Both President-elect and Mrs. Wilson are southerners, both being born and reared in states that seceded from the union. The dominating majorities in both branches of congress, for the first time in many years, will be made up Of southerners, in whose veins flows the blood of confederate ancestors. In a large measure the political control of the government will shift from the north to the south on March 4th, next. A vast deal of interest is being taken, therefore, in the selection of secretary of the interior and pension commissioner under the new administration. The pension bureau is under the interior department, and if a southern man is chosen for secretary of the interior, as now seems probable, it will be construed as an Indication of a reversal of pension policy. The next secretary of the interior is likely to be either Representative Albert Burleson, of Texas, or Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma, both of whom are southerners by nativity and thoroughly sectional in their feeling. Burleson was born at San Marcos, Texas, and hah resided in the Lone Star state all ihis life. Gore is a native of Mississippi and resided in Texas before moving to Oklahoma. Northern democratic senators and representatives are wondering if the pension policy is to he duplicated under the next president. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, now a United States senator, was 'secretary of the interior under Cleveland and his pension policy is a bitter memory to uniop veterans. As long as the republicans were m power a liberal pension policy was assured, and democratic members of congress who wished to “four flush’’ on pensions could do so successfully. Now that their own party is In power, however, they will be hard pressed to make good with the soldiers.

Senator LaFollette to Speak At Annual Teachers’ Meeting.

Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, will be among the speakers 'at the annual convention of the Indiana State Teachers’ association in Indianapolis, December 26 to 28, according to the tentative program announced, Senator LaFollette will speak at the opening session in Tomlinson Hall the evening of December 26. Other speakers announced for the general sessions of the convention are Dr. A. C. Prosser, secretary of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial education; Dr. Charles H. Judd, of the University of Chicago; C. N. Kendall, commissioner of education, of New Jersey; E. A. Hanley, president of Franklin college and Bliss Perry, editor of the Atlantic Monthly.

Woodrow Wilson Threatens To Thrash Photographer.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov, 22. —Presi-dent-elect Woodrow Wilson today had a lively dispute with an American photographer which almost led to the exchange of blows. The photographer took a snap shot at Mr. Wilson in spite of his prohibition. Mr. Wilson thereupon angrily exclaimed: ‘‘You are no gentleman. If you want a good thrashing, keep that up. I can take care of myself in these things. 1 came here specially to avoid photographers.” Mr. Wilson passed the greater part of today in making bicycling excursions in the vicinity of his residence.

Senators and Representatives Object to Carnegie Plan.

As a result of the announcement by the Carnegie Corporation that a pension of $25,000 would be offered each ex-president of the United States, a strong movement is expected in . the coming session to induce the congress to provide a pension. Senator Culberson, of Texas, long democratic leader of the senate, declared it would be “undemocratic" to have former presidents pensioned from a private fund. Several other members of the house and senate expressed their opposition Friday to a private pension and suggested means by which the congress could provide for the retirement of men who bad held the chief office of the nation.

Thought He Owned GaryEnough to Set Him Crazy. Lake County Star. Gary officers brought over an insane man who had worked in the Tin Plate Mills, Monday, and pnt him In the county jail until he can be confined in an asylum. His hallucination seems to be along the line of “frenzied finance.” He imagines he owns all of the city of Gary, the banks and steel mills, and promised to cover Broadway with a tin roof so that the people could keep dry in case it rained. If the truth was known the poor fellow probably went insane over the high cost of living. He was trying to make both ends meet on a small salary, no doubt. Miles Wants Fishermen to Fay License Like Hasten. George W. Miles, commissioner of fish and game, it is said, will seek to have the legislature enact a bill that' will require the fishermen to pay the same license that is exacted from hunters. The commissioner believes that we want a licence that will cores those who fish outside of their o*ut County. Thousands of men go from cities every season and fish in the streams and lakes In the north part of the state. Women would be exempt from the license law for they are not specially dangerous to the finny tribe. Ending with the fiscal year, Sept 30, Indiana collected about $57,000 In the way of hunters' licenses. . ,—— i .. ... - I will be on the Chicago market Monday to select my trash vegetables and fruits for ray Thanksgiving tends, insuring you the best sad freshest stock on the market Call up phone 64 Tuesday and get a Hat of the good things we will have to offer yen.
