Theodore George Meeting Success With the Princess.

Theodore George, who recently purchased The Princess Motion Picture Theatre, is meeting with splendid success and Saturday night three shows were given, each time to packed houses. The pictures were especially fine, and many said the best they had even seen In this city. Mr. George is making a thorough study of the picture business in order to give our people the very best and latest productions, and he is showing no old films, but all are up-to-date, having been released only from two to five weeks. The service Is the highest class in every manner. The theatre Is kept cool with the ceiling fans and during the very warmest nights there was no discomfort in The Princess. A picture just released is entitled “The Twin Brothers,” and in it Augustus Phillips is starred, playing the parts of both .brothers. It is one of the fine pictures of recent date and Manager George has ordered it and expects it shortly. All announcements are made in The Evening Republican. Paul MiJJer is also to sing again one night this week and it is probable that another specialty will be put on for one evening earlier. The business Mr. George has been receiving is very pleasing to him and he proposes to give in return the very best that is possible in motion pictures.

Harry Zimmerman Tells of Big Michigan City Fire.

Harry Zimmerman came down from Michigan City Sunday for a short visit with his mother, Mrs. John Zimmerman and family. He returned home this morning. He told of the big fire that occurred in the Haskell & Barker lumber plant Saturday night. This company owns the car works there, but the fire did no damage to the car works, but destroyed a vast amount of lumber in the yards, burning over an area of 20 or 25 acres. The loss probably exceeded $200,00. Fire engines from South Bend and Elkhort helped subdue the flames. The Chicago papers sensationalized the fire and proclaimed the loss much more than it was.

t’ Myrt, Niagary Fills, 1913.” How happy they are! She can’t see th’ Falls fer her new ring, while his breast swells with a feelin’ o’ security as he notices, hidden between two ones, a five that hasn’t been broken. - Long before they strike th’ state line on th’ return trip, th’ groom falls int’ a meditative state an’ begins t’ realize fer th’ first time that he’ll have f be some contortionist t’ make both ends meet on his weekly wage. He begins f feel that he should have held off fer another year—till he had another suit o’ clothes. He wonders if his bride is stocked up on clothes an’ if her teeth are plugged. As he enumerates th’ extra added feature? o’ married life th’ fear that he’ll be reduced t’ stogies seizes him an’ the scenery along th’ route loses its charm. Then th’ ole happy past looms up—when he boarded at home fer nothin an’ didn’t have anything on his mind but his hair an’ a little dash o’ violet water. How he used-t’ lean agin th’ courthouse fence in th’ evenin’ an’ smoke long, fragrant La Zaras till it wuz dark enough t’ set on her veranda among th’ sweet smellin honeysuckles an’ talk o’ love. How v he whistled “Sweet Marie” all th’ way home, an how his dear ole mother’s voice called down t’ him not -t’ strike matches on th’ hall wall paper. How he crept int’ bis chamber an’ put his tuberose buttonhole bouquet tenderly between th’ well thumbed pages o’ “Which Loved Him Best.” Then he looks at his bride. She is fast asleep an’ a half eated wedge o’ custard pie reposes among th’ banana peels in her lap. Her little feet are cocked up on tlier pasteboard suitcase an’ a sweet smile lights up her girlish face. She is dreamin’ o’ th’ future.

Another Side of the Sayler Family Trouble.

Lawrence Sayler, who works on the J. J, Lawler farm, and who is charged by his wife, Mrs. Belle Sayler, with desertion and cruel treatment last Friday, has written his side of the story and asks that it be published in The Republican. He says: “As to my paving struck or knocked her down ’twice, I absolutely deny such charges. I did not at any time touch or lay my hands on Mrs. Sayler until she attacked me and tried to choke me on the street. . 1? ■ . v --—y “As to my trying to take the little girl, that is true, but I f would not have tried to take Lula had it not been for the treatment, that she was receiving from Mrs. Sayler. At the time this affair started and in the street when Mrs. Sayler attacked me I only removed her hands from my throat and held them. She had some of my clothes In bad condition and as I did not want to go down town almost naked, I had to do something, and I held her hands because of her threats. As to my little girl in the buggy, she could have left at any rime during this affair if she had chosen to do so, but as Lula did not leave, the buggy Mrs. Sayler ordered her older daughter to take Lula from the buggy, which she did in the same manner and treatment that Lula was receiving when this affair started. My additional charges will he stated later.—Lawranee Sayler, Pleasant Ridge, Ind.”

MONON TO PLAY ATHLETICS SUNDAY

Swift Team From White Oounty Will Be Hen to Engage in Contest With Our Team. -v f Next Sunday’s baseball attraction will be Monon and the Athletics. The White county champions will be here with their big following to play our boys. It is probable that the line-up will be about the same as in the former games played by Rensselaer. Clark will be in the box, Wilcox receiving. Swartzell will be at first, Parks at second, Conn at short and Robinson at third, Jess Wilcox and Denniston will be in the field. This team bias been hitting the ball in every game. As the Monon pitcher is Schultz, a college pitcher with a big reputation, and as Clark formerly worked for the Monon team, increased interest will attach to it. This game will probably bring out four or five hundred people, and Monon is certain to bring a big crowd of rooters, as 150 accompanied them to Delphi Sunday.

Rex-Alls Met 7 to 1 Defeat at Morocco Sunday.

Manager McGlynn’s Rex-All base ball team met a defeat at Morocco Sunday by the score of 7 to 1. Bristow, their pitcher, was wild and could not locate the plate and gave several passes. He was succeeded by Turner, who proved more effective, but the Rensselaer hoys could not hit the ball and only got one man over the plate. The Naps, an organization of younsters with considerable promise, played John Robinson’s “Bullface Specials” Sunday afternoon, and literally ran the bases at will. The Specials were composed of hasbeens, would-bes and never-wlll-bes and about all of them took a hand at pitching but the Naps had on their batting rigs and sent the sphere to all comers of the lot, while Young Paul Healy held the Specials close at all times. The final score was Naps 46, Bullface Specials 4.

Mrs. M. P. Warner and W. J. Holmes today received a telegram announcing the death at Delphi of their aunt, Mrs. Eliza Buckley, who is 94 years of age and who had lived in Carroll county for 82 years.

Sigler had been here for several months, boarding most of the time at the Rensselaer HoteL ,

Missing Druggist Found In Demented Condition.

Ou April 4th a druggist named C. C. Ridlen in Indianapolis mysteriously disappeared and various rumors Were soon started to add to the discomfort of Mrs. Ridlen. A “friend” reported that he had seen Ridlen at the Union station in the company of a woman and that evidently they were leaving together. A week later a body was found in Deer Creek, near Delphi, which looked very much like Ridlen and an effort was made to identify it, but later it was decided that it was not him. Now the man has been found In a demented condition at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and apparently he has been in this condition all the time. H4s wife, believing that he had eloped with some other woman, had begun divorce proceedings. This action will now be dropped and Ridlen will be placed in a sanitarium. His wife is running the drug store and getting along very nicely.

John has the personal qualities that should make a big success for him In business and his friends will certainly be interested in the fact that he has given up court reporting to embark in business for himself.

Monon Defeated by the Delphi Ball Team Sunday.

Monon met Its first defeat for a long time Sunday, when the swift Delphi Comers gave them a Shutout, the score being 5 to 0.

He was later removed to give the regular first baseman a chance. Monon has a fine team and has played to great crowds all year. It is probable that a big bunch of rooters will come "here with the team next Sunday.
