Extends Her Thanks.

Mrs. J. P. Green wishes to thank the ladies of the G. A. R. Circle for a beautiful potted geranium in bioom.

It now leaves Indianapolis before the papers go to press. The old schedule may be resumed when the C., H. & D. gets in operation again. Pittsburgh—All were delighted with Mr. Bohannan’s sketches, which displayed wonderful versatility in character impersonation. His songs were also much appreciated, and all felt that one of the girls expressed it admirably when she said, “It was one of the most enjoyable afternoons of my life.”— Elizabeth Linn Sherrard, General Secretary Central Y. W. C. A. At M. E. church Monday, April 14, 8:15 o’clock. The country will be overrun with bogus flood sufferers. The people are warned against giving aid to strangers who claim to be refugees from the flooded districts of Indiana and Ohio. Ample provisions are being made to care for all such in the communities where they live, and there is little probability of any deserving individual or family being forced to go from community to community begging. Jean Bohannan, pianist and soprano, has acquired international distinction as a composer, several of her songs having found a ready market in England and Germany, as well as America. Those who are familiar with “To You,” ‘The Plaidie,” ‘The Time to Smile,” “If .1 were a Rose,” and numerous other secular songs, may learn with surprise that this unusual musician has over 100 compositions (mostly sacred) to her credit, which have been accepted for publication. She has written a thirty-minute song cycle and a massive male chorus setting of "Captain! My Captain!” As if this were insufficient, Jean Bohannan has climbed to the rank seldom attained by her sex—that of successful organist, leaving one of the largest organs in Pittsburgh, that of the East Liberty Presbyterian church, to identify herself with lyceum work. At M. E. Church, Monday, April 14, at 8:15 o’clock.

The Hitch Post Question From Two View Points.

The interests of Rensselaer as a city and the surrounding country as agricultural land are so closely interlaced that nothing should ever happen to mar the pleasant relationship or to create any hard feelings. The present discussion is brought about by a notice forbidding the hitching of horses to light and telephone poles and tp posts and trees and threatening arrest and prosecution. As the order read, however, the main business streets only are forbidden to be hitched upon. It is a fact, as our correspondent says, that many come to town for a short time only and do not care to pay 20 cents for the privilege of hitching and they do not care to hitch outside the corporation. It is probable that every farmer who comes to Rensselaer to trade encounters times when he would prefer hitching outside while he does his trading and it would be very unfair to try to shut this off entirely or to seriously limit the privilege. There should be a restricted district and no more. Then the establishment of a ”few hitching posts within a short distance of the business centers would not be amiss. The most objectionable features to the hitching posts are the fly breeding places, the fact that the horses paw up the streets and perhaps a still more serious one, which is not so vital since Rensselaer is saloonless, that some abuse the privilege by leaving the animals stand for long hours without attention. The first objection would be serious if it were not for the fact that in the absence of a thorough street sweeping system there are small breeding places left all about the streets by the mere fact of horse travel over them and also because there are better breeding places in the neglected rubbish heaps about the city. That the horses paw up the streets some can not be avaided but teams that are left out for long periods of time can be taken to the hitch barns and the expense charged to the owners. But it is the farmer who stays in town only a short time that needs the hitching post and he seems to be entitled to the privilege and we believe there is no ordinance that prevents him hitching any place except on the main business streets. Rensselaer businessmen do not want to lose any of the patronage of their farmer friends by reason of failure to treat them with every cordiality and our friends in the country should never lose sight of the fact that the value of their farms is to a considerable extent based upon the success of the merchants in Rensselaer and upon the appear ance and health of the city. The hitch barns are adequate in size and are well kept from the sanitary standpoint and it is better to have horses in them than standing for several hours on the street, but the Interests of the busy trader who is here only a short time demands that there be a place where his team can be tied without expense.

The Sullivan county commissioners have reconsidered the date of the Curry township option election which was set for May 6, and have made the date May 1, instead. Just unloaded a car of Wisconsin seed potatoes: ‘Triumph,” or “Six Weeks," "Rose,” Ohios,” “Irish Cobblers,” “Burbanks,” "Rurals” and “Bugless," at prices that you have not been able to buy them at for several years.'

Looks Like New Utilities Commission is Not for People.

The utilities commission has been appointed. While Governor Ralton made the appointments it is understood that most of the commission has the Taggart brand and that it is not a commission that the people can count much upon. The Indianapolis News shows that at least two of the members are unquestionably for the corporations and against the interests of the common people, those who pay the freight. The News relates that when the utilities bill was being considered and the corporations were protesting against its provisions that Taggart was able to silence them and the cause for it was unknown, since the measure that was enacted into law was not favorable to the great railroad and electric line systems, but now the reasop has developed, and a commission has been appointed that is apt to consult the corporations very largely in determining its action. Taggart has thus far kept himself solid with the interests, while he caused it to appear by his lobbying for the bill that he had turned progressive and was for the people. He has evidently given the people of the state the biggest double cross they ever had. He has worked for a good law and then had appointed a commission that will see that the law is not enforced. From this section of the state is Charles J. Murphy, of Brookston, who is a close personal friend of the Murdocks, of Lafayette, large corporation owners and who started a bitter fight against the utilities measure. This same Murphy was in the legislature in 1901 when the Joss measure passed and he was its chief booster. The bill was distinctly a railroad bill and provided among other .iniquitous things that suits against railroads could not be tried in local courts, but were all to be tried in federal courts. Governor Durbin vetoed the bill. Murphy later introduced a substitute measure and tried to keep it quiet, asking the clerk of the house not to let the newspapers get hold of it. The News reprints a cartoon used at that time which has as a heading: “Mr. Murphy has a railroad bill but don’t want the people to know it.” This is the same Murphy whom Editor Babcock accused of offering to buy delegates at the senatorial and representative convention at Monon last summer. He is the same Murphy who dominated the 10th district convention and forced the nomination of cor poratlon lawyer John B. Peterson, who was denounced on the floor of the convention by prominent democrats. Thomas Duncan, another member of the commission, is an attorney for the Southern railway, which gave the state railway commission more trouble than any other road in Indiana. Duncan will doubtless 'continue from the inside to look out fdr that railroad, while drawing a fat salary to look out for the Interests of the people. The balance of the commission, with the exception of one member carries over from the state railway commission, whose duties are merged into the new utilities commission.
