W. J. BRYAN WILL BE SECRETARY OF STATE

Names of Other Members of Wilson's Official Family Confirmed After Much Guessing. .... . ’ .. ■ ' ■ Washington, Feb. 26.—The'cabinet situation was not materially altered today from the definiteness it assumed last night The developments of the day served only to confirm the finality of the selections of Messrs. Bryan, McAdoo, Daniels and Burleson and to disclose the various steps by which other names gradually had been.eliminated from consideration.

It developed also that Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, had been offered and had rejected the war portfolio. Another definite offer of a cabinet portfolio disclosed was that to Mayor Baker, of Cleveland, which also was declined because of public interests Mr. Baker has at Cleveland. It also was reported that Edgar H. Farrar, of New Orleans, former president of the American Bar association, was being considered in connection with the attorney generalship. A report tonight is that James Mcßeynolds, of New York, is foremost in consideration for the attoi-ney-generalship by President-elect Wilson. ' . *

Though a democrat, Mr. Mcßeynolds was engaged to prosecute the government’s suit against the tobacco trust, and had direction of that case from the beginning until the dissolution of the American Tobacco company. He is a native of Kentucky, a graduate of the law department of the University of Virginia, and practiced law for many years in Nashville, Tenn. He located in New York in 1907.

A Professional Man’s View of The C. & E. I. Passenger Train.

Mt. Ayr, Feb. 26, 1913. To Whom It May Interest: I jfeve this to say, the people of MMotyr M|d -Vhgnity Are well with tfil passenger traifib that Jias been installed on the Goodland and LaCrosse branch of the C. & E. I. Ry. Also, we learn that on the first month it .was put on there were 150 tickets sold at Mt. Ayr, against 50 of the same month a year before. We also know the passenger business continues to improve, and it would be better still if the company would publish in their schedule this train. A number of parties that we know have asked for tickets at Chicago and were told there was no train for passengers on the Goodland and LaCrosse branch of the C. & E. I. If the road will try for business as much as the people, they will get more business. Your truly, J. W. MERRY.

Himmel and Myres to Wrestle on March 14th.

Harvey Myfes.’uf Tan;’and Louie Himmel, of Cedar Lake, have arranged their wrestling match, which will take place at the Ellis Theatre on the evening of Friday, March 14th. Myres has some advantage of Himmel in weight, but the German, is said to be a hard man to handle and at the recent match at Cedar Lake each man got one fall. This match will be the best two falls out of three. It is probable that a preliminary will be a go between a Cedar Lake and Parr wrestler. Myres is trainng for this match, realizing that he has his hands full in winning from Himmel and also that he must win in order to secure several matches that are promised him in the Calumet region during the’ spring.

LEON EIGELSBACH DIED IN HOSPITAL

Son of J. J. Eigelsbach Operated, on For Nasal Trouble at St Luke’s Wednesday. n, —7r~v£-« : '- ■--.--i—r ■ _ community was . deeply shocked Wednesday evening when the word was received from Chicago that Leon Eigelsbach, son of J. J. Eigelsbach, of Rensselaer, had died following an operation at St. Luke’s hospital. Only meager information was received until after the arrival home on a night train of John Eigelsbach, brother of the dead boy, who,had accompanied him to the hospital to be with him when the operation was performed. The facts as ascertained by The Republican are as follows. Leon was injured when a boy by falling and striking his nose across a step at his home in such manner as to break the bridge of the nose, and the bones did not adjust themselves to their normal shape but adhered to the larger bones beneath. There was some slight deformity of the nose in consequence and respiration was difficult through that organ. Recently the difficulty had become worse and it was feared that enforced breathing through the mouth might eventuate in lung, trouble. He recently do elded to have the nose operated upon and Tuesday was accompanied to St. Luke’s hospital by his local physician. The operation was performed Wednesday afternoon by Dr. McArthur, a noted surgeon. Leon was on the operating table two hours and a half, the operation being completed at 5:30 o’clock. A small section of one rib was taken from the side and grafted into the nose. At 5:30 o’clock he was taken from the operating robin to anotherroom. The surgeon and nurses thought he was getting along all right and that he would in proper time come out from under the influence of the ether. His brother, John, was not in the operating room during the time of the operation but was near at hand and was in the room to which he was taken after the operation. A nurse was also with him part of the time. It occurred to John that his breathing was very unnatural and labored and on two occasions for a moment he seemed to stop breathing. In a second he would be again breathing as before. A third time his breathing stopped and John stepped to his side as he had done before. He placed his ear to his brother’s breast and could hear no sound. He summoned the nurse and she in turn summoned the head nurse and three internes. They were very active in an effort to restore respiration but it could not be done. Life had gone. There are several theories as to what was the exact cause of death, but the most probable one is that ithe shock of the operation was the pause of his demise. John hastened the sad information to relatives here and soon the news had spread throughout Rensselaer and there was deep sorrow everywhere. The lad’s sad death became the all-absorbing topic in almost every home and business house in Rensselaer and tears dimmed many fyes and sorrow filled many hearts. Leon was a real favorite everywhere. A boy with a buoyant spirit, a pleasing smile, a kindly way, a hearty word and a twinkling eye, he had so conducted himself during his life as to have made friends everywhere. For a long time he had been a deliveryman for his father’s meat market and in this manner he became known to the housewives of the city and among these was there also deep sympathy for the family and much personal regret at his sad and untimely death. Leon was bom in Rensselaer and aside from a few months he spent in the west last year had spent his erftire life here. He would have been 20 years of age the coming May. His brother, John, accompanied by Undertaker Wright, went to Chicago this morning on the milk train to arrange for bringing the body home and it will reach here either on the milk train or the 11:05 train this Thursday night. The funeral will take place from St Augustine’s Catholic church at 9 o’clock Friday morning and burial will be made in Mt. Calvary cemetery, south of St. Joseph’s college.

Representative Biddle’s bill, which chiefly aims at large corporations by limiting the amount of road tax that may be “worked out” to S2O, and requiring all other road taxes to be paid in cash, was passed.

The Teachers’ Association meeting will be held at the high school oh Friday and Saturday. The high school chorus and the orchestra will furnish music. This week ended the first six weeks’ of the second semester of school The examinations were given the latter part of last week and the first part of this. Some of the seniors are beginning to realize their lack of wisdom. Granville Mpody informed one of his teachers Wednesday when she asked him to look intelligent that he couldn’t help the way he looked, for he was born that way. “Sweet Lavender” wijl be given at the Ellis Theatre Thursday night, March 6th. This is a heavier play than the high school has been accustomed to giving but a great deal of practice has been put into it and it will no doubt prove a success.
