WEATHER FORECAST. Rain or snow and much colder tonight; Thursday fair and colder.

Woodrow Wilson delivered a very propitious inaugural address Tuesday. He employed about the same strain that he followed during the campaign, with perhaps a trifle more care in the finesse of expression, but with equal evasion of everything that is practical and embodying everything that is theoretical and visionary. His hopes are and have always been the Idealistic hopes of the people; his ambition for the greatest good to the greatest number is the Ambition of the vast majority and there is nothing in his speech to criticize and yet there is nothing to praise because he has dealt with the intangible and has acknowledged the uncertainty of his “great hope” by failing to propound a single remedy. No one Should fail to read the full text of Mr. Wilson’s inaugural speech. It is true that few will understand everything that he says but all who read it will understand enough to agree when they have finished that he has said not a thing that holds out. plausible hope for improvement in conditions. It is a prayer, a supplication, a proclaiming of reform and a pledge to hard work to accomplish something, sometime. At the right hand of Mr. Wilson is William Jennings Bryan, who will have a remedy for everything. Mr. Wilson closes his inaugural address as he closed his speech, accepting the nomination, by asking for advice. Mr. Bryan will give it to him. So will others. Hf will get more advice than he can use. Apparently he has no ideas of his own. Has he the gumption to select the wheat from the chaff as he is preyed upon by advice givers? He- has created a big doubt by the flimsy evasion of his first speech as president.

CIVIC MOVEMENT FOR RENSSELAER

Plan of J. H. Holden for City's Beautification to Be Augmented With Association. ■ C- -■ --- The movement started several weeks ago by J. H. Holden to create greater civic pride has inspired Superintendent Clarke of the city schools to suggest that a local organization be formed to aid in carrying out plans Mr. Holden has started, and at meetings held at the school building Monday and Tuesday evenings it was decided to take steps at once to create an interest in the civic welfare of the city, but urging the co-operation of every resident of the city and by employing the school children throughout the year in making Rensselaer beautiful and healthful and its people happy. The concrete plans of organization were not performed, that action awaiting a general meeting to be called shortly, but those who were present at the meetings expressed the belief that the local organization should at once federate with the American Civic Association, of Washington, D. 0., from wtiich headquarters considerable literature had been received, explaining the object of the associated and what it accomplishes. It has been a national organization for the past eight years .and has received recognition for the making of better living conditions for all America, especially in improvement in the physical and structural growth of tile communities. Its purpose is briefly stated as being “the cultivation of higher ideals tit civic life and beauty in America, the promotion of city, • town and neighborhood improvement, the preservation and development of landscape and the advancement of outdoor art.”

CUTTING SCRAPE AT MORRELL PUBLIC SALE

Elmer Hammerbacker Said to Have Been Severely Out by Knife in Hands of Otto Harbert. A man named Elmer Hammerbacker was severely cut in an affray that took place Tuesday morning at the Morrel public sale in the east part of Hanging Grove township. His assailant is said to have been Otto Harbert, a farm laborer, well known in and about McCoysbiyg. . . ' It is said that the men, both of whom are single, have recently had some trouble and that Monday cv ening while out driving their buggies scraped each other as they were passing. Tuesday morning they met at Morrell’s sale, before the hour for the sale to start and soon became involved in a discussion. Direct information could not be gained from any one who saw the affair, but Harbert is said to have drawn his knife and to have stabbed Hammerbacker three times, inflicting injuries that were so serious that two doctors were called from Monon to attend him. He bled profusely ai<d they found that he had been stabbed on the left side just above the hip, again on the left shoulder near the neck, and a third time on the left arm. Before those who had gathered for the sale seemed to realize what had happened Harbert had left. He went to Lowman’s store at McCoysburg, where he called the Rensselaer central office and tried to get into communication with some one, but he was so badly winded that he could not make his want understood. Even those in the store were unable to tell far whom he was calling. They say that he had evidently run all the way from the Morrell farm to the store, a distance of more than two miles, and that he was sweating like a farm hand when he arrived at the store. He did not wait there long, but left the store, going toward the west. Since then no information concerning hipi can be gathered. Persons at the sale are now wondering how it comes that Harbert was permitted to escape. Harbert is about 35 years old and Hammerbacker is 25. The latter was taken into the Morrell home and is said to be in such condition that he can not be removed.

Fifty-Seven Varieties of Weather During This Month.

This is the fifth day of March and a right fine day, too. During the morning the sun shone with considerable warmth and most of the snow, whieh had been on the ground for several days, disappeared. So far we have had several varieties of weather, rivaling the Heinz “57 Varieties.” Saturday morning, March Ist, was bright and the temperature moderate. During the late afternoon it got colder and by 7 o'clock a real blizzard with a high wind was in progress. The temperature sank rapidly, reaching 8 below during the night Sunday was bitterly cold, the thermometer showing the mercury at about 12 above all day long. By Monday morning it had moderated considerably, and by 7 o’clock it was scarcely freezing. During the day it clouded up and rained and the rain turned to snow when another cold snap hit us Tuesday morning. Tuesday it snowed some more and remained quite cold. Today was fine until noon, when it clouded up. By 2:30 it began to rain and within an hour was snowing. The forecast is for colder and it sure looks like another blizzard was enroute.

Monon Woman Chokes To Death in Her Room

Miss Agnes Carr, of Monon, a teacher in Wilmington, N. C., high school, was found dead in her bed at a boarding house there Monday night. Death was due, physicians say, to an “inside goiter," which caused her to choke to death. It is thought she had been dead fully six hours when the door of her room was forced and her body found lying on the bed. She was connected with the English department of the school and was very popular with the faculty and stuaA well as in local society. Her body has been shipped to her home in Monon for burial.
