WEATHER. Generally fair tonight and Thursday; warmer Thursday.

Subscribed Money Should Be Paid Whenever Requested.

Manager Don Wright complains that a few who have pledged money for the Fourth have held off paying when requested and says that the committee wishes to have the money all in before the Fourth. They are required to pay S4OO for the free shows by 6 o’clock Friday evening and It will be almost impossible to collect It on the Fourth as all will be busy playing in the band. As an accommodation to the -manager and all members of the band you are asked to pay this beforehand, whenever the collector calls for it. _ <1 The Pennsylvania company has recalled a large number of furloughed trainmen at Ft. Wayne and put them to work at once. Business had a bad drop several weeks ago and the men were laid off, and the recall Is a great surprise. It means that business is picking up faster than the company can handle it

Band Concert on Thursday Evening Just as Usual.

The band will give its concert on Thursday evening just the same as usual, notwithstanding the fact that the next day is the Fourth and they have a busy time ahead.

Many Attended Reception To Newly Married Couple.

Probably the largest attended reception to a young married couple ever given in Rensselaer was that tendered Tuesday evening to friends of Mr. arid Mrs. George A. Long, who had just returned from an automobile trip to Greensburg, Ind. The reception was held at the residence of A. F. Long, on River street, Mr. and Mrs. Long and Miss Martha extending the invitations which read “to meet Mr. and Mrs. George A. Long.” Threatening rain caused a change in the plan of holding the reception on the spacipus lawn and it was held in the house instead. Mr. and George A. Long, Miss Jane Moody, Miss Lucy Boyd, Miss Martha Long, Mrs. A. F. Long and Mrs. Granville Moody stood in the receiving line. Some thirty at a time were ushered into the dining room and served with ice cream and cake. Punch was served in one of the parlors. The guests were entertained with musical numbers by Mrs. M. D. Gwin, Miss Alice Shedd, Mrs. J. A. Dunlap and Miss Georgia Harris. A step toward solving the question of governmental aid to the founding of vocational educational schools was taken by the senate Friday through the passage of Senator Hoke Smith’s bill providing for a commission of nine experts to study the question and report to the next session of congress.

Had Trouble Burying A Big Gasoline Tank.

Jamie Willis, proprietor of the Willis Garage, who will occupy the new Kurrie building within a few days, found some trouble this Monday morning burying a big 1,000 gallon gasoline tank. An excavation was made at the corner of Washington and Cullen streets and the tank placed in it. By means of force pumps the gasoline will be conducted through pipes to the automobile tanks, although the big tank will be about three feet beneath the ground, the supply pipes just coming above the ground. In order to settle the earth about the tank water was used freely as the earth was put in to cover the tank and this floated the tank and kept it on top of the moistened earth. The fact that the tank kept rising was not noticed for some tWne and then it was found that it had raised some fifteen inches and it had to be taken out of the hole and all the earth excavated again. In order to hold it down the tank will be filled with gasoline before the filling process is again undertaken. Henry Bacon, of New York, is the winner of the government award for the supervision of the building of the Lincoln memorial monument, to be erected in Potomac park, Washington, D. C. Mr. Bacon’s reward will be approximately SIOO,000, or six per cent of the amount expended on the monument

LaBelle Clark Injured; Promise Another Good Act

Thinking to make the Fourth still livelier Manager Don Wright made a trip to Chicago Tuesday to try to get a balloon, having arranged for a local aeronaut to make the ride. He could not find a balloon for rent however, and while at the agency that supplied the shows word came that Laßelle Clark, who was booked for one of the big free acts here with her grand horse, Duke, had been injured at St. Louis and could not work for six vyeeks. The horse was being loaded on the train and she was watching it, when the animal slipped and one of its hoofs struck her on one leg, severely injuring It and causing her to cancel her bookings for three weeks. The agent promised to do all In his power to send some other act in place of Miss Clark. This act was to cost SIOO and is said to be a fine one. Mr. Wright wanted the public informed of the accident, so that there would* be no criticism when the act does not appear.
