WHEATFIELD MEN DID NOT GET LICENSE

One Had Not Established Residence—Konovsky Given License for Saloon at DeMotte. * ”. James Anderson and Albert Hoehn, applicants for a partnership license to run a saloon at Wheatfield, were not given a license by the commissioners Monday, on the ground that Hoehn was not eligible under the law, it being shown that he lacked one day or a part of a day, at least, of having lived in Wheatfield township the required six months. Attorney Moses Leopold represented the “dry” forces and won an easy victory. Anderson will go after the license single-handed at the June term and has already begun preparations for a license by ordering, the publication of his application in The gankakee Valley Review. It is thought that Tilton, the present saloonkeeper, may also file an application. If he does, it is said that a remonstrance will be directed against him, and it is possible that Anderson may be remonstrated against. Anderson is thg young man who played baseball for some time and was a very good pitcher. His friends will regret to see him embark in a business so destructive as the saloon business and a successful remonstrance would be the best thing that ever happened to Jim. There was no opposition to the .application of Konovsky to run a saloon at DeMotte and he was given a license and will open up next Monday, it is understood. Konovsky has been operating a “soft” drink place ever since Jasper county went “dry” by county unit vote, four years ago. He has a number of good qualities, those who know him say, but none of these qualities have elevated him above the ambition to run a saloon and thus help to contribute to the destruction of happy homes and the making of inebriates out of otherwise good citizens. It is reported that applications will be filed from Kniman and Fair Oaks and temperance people should start an unrelenting war against the re-establishment of saloons, made possible by the repeal • of the county option law.

SQUAWS TO FORM LOCAL AUXILIARY

Sixty-Six Sign Up to Become Charter Members of Pocahontas Tent I to Be Located Here. The meeting of the Red Men and their wives and daughters and friends at their hall Monday evening proved a very successful one in inspiring the institution of an auxiliary order, the Tribe of Pocahontas, and sixty-six signed the application for a charter and the new order will be instituted on the evening of May 17th, and a latter announcement will be made about the organization plans. Mrs. Lizzie Arbuckle, of Kokomo, who is at the head of the order in the state, addressed the two hundred or more who gathered at the hall and interested a large number in the auxiliary work. Roy W. Emig, of Columbus, the Great Sachem of Indiana, was also present and spoke about the order. Mr. Emig went from here to Logansport, where he will prove the charitable work of the lodge by disbursing a large amount of money to flood sufferers. The Red Men began collecting money for the flood sufferers among their members as soon as the conditions in the flooded districts became known and they met ready response. Red Men from California sent a total of $1,410 to and this was augmented in many ways. It was decided to authorize lodges in the stricken districts to submit the names of all members who had lost extensively and to give them orders for $25 worth ’of furniture, clothing, drygoods, etc. Up to Monday evening 279 applications were on file. To give each $25 will cost about $7,000 and that is a little more than has been collected, but Mr. Emig says that members will come across if more is needed. He Will go about and take up the orders, paying the cash.

DUNLAP TO DELIVER DECORATION ADDRESS

Will Speak at Cemetery, While Rev. J. C. Parrett Will Deliver the Memorial Sermon. Rensselaer veterans of the civil war are making preparations for the annual memorial sermon the Sunday before Memorial Day and for the’ decoration of the graves and the oration at the cemetery. Rev. J. C. Parrett has accepted an invitation to address the< old soldiers at the Presbyterian church* Sunday morning, May 25th, and on the following Friday the parade to and from ‘the cemetery will take place as in former years, and in this all orders, civil and military, and all Sunday' Schools are asked to take part. The program at the cemetery will be much the same as usual, the main feature being the address, which will this year be delivered by Attorney John A. Dun ; lap. The Ladies of the G. A. R., following their usual custom, will give a dinner for the veterans at the hall in the court house after the service at the cemetery,is completed.

GIVES UP FIGHT IN ONE-MAN TOWN

Dr. Bernard Maloy Quits Steger, 111., and Will Locate on Farm at Melbourne, Florida. ? Dr. and Mrs. Bernard Maloy and their three children came from Steger, 111., Friday evening and remained until today, guests of his mother, Mrs. James Malow, and other relatives and friends. They left on the 10:12 train for Chicago and will go from there to Melbourne, Fla., a small new town, near which place he has 200 acres of land, secured in a trade, and to the development of which he will devote much of his time. He also has a number of lots in a new town site. He will practice medicine only to the extent he finds necesasry, as he plans to devote most of his time to agricultural pursuits. Dr. Maloy had no regret in leaving Steger, HL, where he had been engaged In a losing fight against the head of the Steger Piano Co., after whom the town was named and whose power in the community Maloy says caused most of the people to fear him. “Bernie,” as he was always called here, was always a fearless young man and he decided not to accept the unquestioned authority of Steger, but to contest him at every point. The consequence was a long drawn-out war, during which Dr. Maloy was arrested and thrown into jail and later made defendant in a criminal libel suit, from which he escaped after repeatedly demanding trial. Steger was unrelenting and many who favored Dr. Maloy were too cowardly to assist him and after pledging him support either absented themselves from Steger, feigned illness or moved axyay when called upon to testify in court as they had talked. Dr. Maloy was unable with his limited means to pursue Steger with his almost unlimited capital and finally gave up the fight and decided to “shake the dust of Steger off his feet.'” Both he and his wife stated that it was a happy day for them when they left the old town behind and they were looking with pleasurable anticipation to their residence in Florida. Dr. Maloy, however, fears that Steger’s enmity will lead him to methods of pursuit and that he will try to misrepresent him in his new home. Since he will be largely In the farming business, however, he believes he will be much more independent than he would be In the practice of medicine. This thing he is decided upon: He will never again locate in a one-man town. Equal rights and equal opportunities appeal to him.

C. & E. I. MUST RUN PASSENGER TRAIN

Wheatfield Improvement Association Scores Another Victory Before Railway Commission. Another hearing was granted the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railway company by the state railway commission at Indianapolis this Tuesday morning. The Wheatfield Improvement Association, whose activity secured the passenger train between LaCrosse and Goodland, was notified. Monday that a hearing would be given Tuesday and it was decided to" again send Editor John Bowie to Indianapolis to represent the association and likewise the interests of all the people along the route. In order to reach there Mr. Bowie had to come to Rensselaer by automobile, remain here until the early morning train and go to Indianapolis on it. At 2 o’clock this Tuesday afternoon The Republican received the following message from Mr. Bowie: “Train continued; case dismissed after arguments by request of Gen eral Manager Jackson.” The train will then continue to run, which speaks well for the manner in which Mr. Bowie has again presented the claims of the people and all will be mighty glad at the success he has made.

CHARITY BOARD ACTIVELY AT WORK

Discussed Hospital Project and Elected Mrs. A. P. Burton to Succeed Mrs. Roberts. The organized charities board of Rensselaer met Monday evening at the office of Mayor George F. Meyers and transacted some business, discussed the methods of raising funds, elected Mrs. A. P. Burton head of the relief committee, to succeed Mrs. C. A. Roberts, and determined on a plan to procure funds for the starting of a general hospital for Rensselaer. Mayor Meyers is president of the board and opened the meeting, and after the minutes were read by the secretary, Rex D. Warner, turned the meeting over to the vice president, Mrs. John I. Gwin, who has given much thought to the subject of organized charities and who is familiar with the local work, the mayor having been absent from the city for most of the past two months. The Rensselaer hospital is to be closed as a general hospital, so Dr. I. M. Washburn reported, and will be used only for emergency cases, and this fact led up to a plan by which the charity board hopes to procure aid for the building of an adequate hospital. Reports of committees were received and the treasurer’s report showed that most all moneys had been turned over to the fund, there remaining outstanding about $57, of which about S4O is in the ministers’ fund.

Sowing the Seed That Will Cause a Poor Harvest.

A young man, who has always borne a very good reputation, is starting a career that is certain to lead to his own disgrace, and failure if long pursued. In a somewhat Intoxicated condition he emerged from the milk train last Sunday evening, carrying an old suit case filled with bottled beer. From the bottom of the suitcase appeared the head of one bottle and before he had walked a half block the bottle had forced out and another was ready to come out. With a stupid smile he was trying to poke the bottles back in the suit case, while something like two dozen persons looked upon him with pity for his folly. If this fellow and others of his type could how shameful their conduct is they would surely resolve never to commit such disgraceful acts again.

HAYNES HACKETT WINS BIG VICTORY

Monon Switchman Who Lost Both Legs Six Years Ago Will Re- . ceive $35,000 in Cash. Haynes Hackett, the Monon switchman who lost both of his legs while at work in the yards of the Monon railroad at Monon six years ago, will receive $30,000 and interest amounting to $5,000 more, the supreme court of the United States ha y in g upheld the cons tit utionality of the employers’ liability law and sustained a judgment of the lower court. Hackett is known to many people in Rensselaer. He has made a long fight in an effort to collect from the railroad for the loss of his legs. He has refused offers of compromise and held firmly to his attorneys, who carried his case to the U. S. supreme court. The decision is important as affecting many cases involving an application of the employers' liability law passed in 1893.

LIGHTNING KILLED THREE GOOD HORSES

Tom Lamson Lost Animals Valued at $225 Each While Farm Tenant Was Using Disc. Three of the four horses hitched to a disc on the Tom Lamson farm southwest of town were killed by lightning Monday afternoon. The horses were being driven by Omar Fellmy, who lives on the farm. He was not shocked and the fourth horse, a mare, was uninjured. The dead animals were valued at $225 each, one being a mare and the other two draft geldings. They were not insured and the loss will be a severe one to Mr. Lamson.

Mrs. William Warren Returns From Trip to North Carolina.

Mrs. William Warren left Lumbertown, N. C., on Monday, April 22, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Ben Grube, as far as Richmond, Va. They visited with friends at Wilson, N. C., while on their way and spent half a day at Richmond seeing sights. She expected to reach home on Wednesday evening, April 24th, but on account of the flood she had to stay over at Cincinnati and Lafayette. She had to cross the Ohio river on a large boat to Lawrence. She is delighted with the sofith and would very much like to live there. She surely made many dear friends whom she regretted to leave, especially the Brett Engineer Contracting Company, of which Mr. Grube is a member, and which showed her such a delightful -time. Since she arrived home she has been very sick for a week, the change of weather probably being the cause.—Contributed.

RENSSELAER GIRL HONORED IN PARIS

Miss Mary Washburn Has Work of Sculpture Accepted for Exhibit At the Annual Salon. Miss Mary Washburn, a Rensselaer girl who has been an artist for many years, and who designed and made the Milroy monument, has been signally honored in Paris, France, where she has been for several months, by having a work accepted for exhibition at the annual salon or exhibition of works of sculpture. The salon is held in the wonderful Grand Palais des Champs Elysees and is managed by the Socicti des Artistes Francais. Work of all nationalities is eligible but the board that passes upon them is composed entirely of Frenchmen and it is difficult for a poor piece of sculpture to get past the forty profound artists who compose the board. Many artists have spent many years in Paris', submitting works every year only to have them declined, and the fact that the first subject submitted by Miss Washburn was accepted, is a splendid recognition of her ability: =s?= The salon is the great national event in France. Already great French flags are waving over the building and little sign boards have been placed at street corners all over the city announcing the opening of the salon for 1913. In receiving notice of the acceptance Miss Washburn also received a ticket of admission to the opening day, which is restricted to the artists and sculptors, and this will bring her into association with the greatest artist# in the world. Soon after this Miss Washbum and her mother will return to America, sailing on May 17th. They may not return to Chicago, however, as Miss Washburn’s plans now are to spends year - in Washington, D. C., there to further pursue her work as a sculpturess. The recognition she has received abroad will doubtless be of great aid to her in procuring important work in America. Miss Washburn’s success as an artist Will be very pleasing to her many friends in Rensselaer, where she was raised and from which school she is a graduate. For many years she was an artist, employed first in a studio at Cincinnati and later in Chicago. Some years ago she took up sculpture and her rise in this work has been little less then marvelous and it is safe to say that at this time she ranks among the greatest sculptors in America, and her many friends may expect to hear splendid results from her subsequent works.•
