LAFAYETTE CLUB RAN “TIGER” ON EXCURSION

Officials Should Investigate Disgraceful Conduct On the Michigan City Special. Francesville Tribune—Last Sunday the Monon run an excursion from Lafayette to Michigan City under the auspices of the Jackson Club at Lafayette. Before leaving the city one of the baggage cars Was well filled with cases df beer and the thirsty passengers were kept well supplied enroute providing they came across with the price and drank the same on the premises. Strange as it may seem a part of this train was used for the sale of liquors in open violation of law enroute between the two cities while the company’s detectives were on board to see that those who drank to excess did not become beligerent and annoy the passengers. Sometijne ago the Monon announced that it would not run any more excursions to Cedar Lake on account of a certain element that had to be carried to and from the resort, and later when the state legislature passed a law prohibiting the drinking of liquor on trains, with the exception of licensed buffet cars, the company was quick to take advantage of the statute governing such cases and caused the arrest of the offenders. However, something slipped a cog somewhere, and the officials will probably do some investigating.

▲re Appreciated by Rensselaer People. Thousands who suffer from backache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary relief. This is discouraging, but there is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputation for lasting results and there Ist plenty of proof of its merit right here in Rensselaer. Here de the testimony of one who used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even stronger. Jacob R. Wlloox, Dayton Ht., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “The statement I gave for publication a feriv years ago in praise of Doan’s Kidney Prills still holds good. The cure they made has been permanent I had pains through my loins and was In misery day and night I always felt tired and worn-out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement.” For sale by all dealers Price 60 cents.

RESULTS THAT REMAIN

MAKING AMERICAN CITIZENS QUICK WORK

Newton County Clerk Issued First Papers to Thirteen Greeks Thursday Of Last Week. Newton County Enterprise—The work of naturalizing aliens has never ■'Been a very important industry in Newton county, but last Thursday Clerk McCurry probably broke all* former records of the county in making American citizens. Thirteen Greeks, from Tripoli, the garden colony north of Morocco, came to Kentland and took out heir first papers. In the party were Guiseppe Manosai, Pietro Garlasco, Tranquillo Boldreghini, Guiseppe Rosori, Rosario Cognate, Rinaldo BelleardeneHi,' Vincenzo Lombardo, Pietro Fazio, William Ilelis, Ginzeppe Fazio, Harry Senathenos, Stefano" Giacalone, Antonio Boldreghini. Our people should temember that these men are now fellow citizens, and in meeting them they should be addressed by their proper name. Another bunch of fourteen are expected down today or tomorrow. The right of franchise is being se cured for these foreigners in order that they may vote at the option election to be held in Beaver township Saturday, and there is little doubt as to which side of the question they will support.

WHEN RILEY WAS A TRAMP SIGN PAINTER.

Birmingham Hotel Keeper Recalls Incidents In Early LiVes Of Famous Writers. H. L. Bailey, proprietor of the Hotel Hillman, Birmingham, Ala., has been at the Claypopl hotel for two days renewing old acquaintances, says the Indianapolis News. Away back in the seventies and eighties Bailey was proprietor of house, at Lafayette, but he has been in the south for many years. Tie was at Lafayette when George Ade was a student at Purdue. George Barr McCutcheon also was on the Purdue list at the sanfe time, and Hen Bailey was their special friend. “Ade and McCutcheon loafed around the Lahr house much of their time,” said Bailey. “In fact Mr. McCutcheon did much of the work on his story ‘Graustark,’ at the Lahr house. I never thought that story would amount to anything, and I told McCutcheon many a time that he had better devote his time to something else besides But he kept plugging away. If he had listened to me he never would have become, famous. And James Whitcomb Riley was another young chap that came to Lafayette with apparently no future. Those were the days wheu he made his living by painting sign advertisements on fences and buildings. I remember watching him paint a sign on the old Brown street bridge for some kind of Liver pills. He could paint a sign, all right, but there was nothing about him at that time that suggested poetry to me.

New Game Law Far Reaching.

One of the most sweeping and far-reaching game laws ever enacted by the United States congress will go into effect October »lst, next, when the Weeks-McLean migratory bird law will be enforced. The law Axes the seasons for shooting migratory birds and also divides the country into two sections in order that the birds may be protected to the fullest extent Twentyfive stages, including Indiana, are in the northern zone, while the southern division will be composed of the remaining twenty-three states. The shooting season for the two zones varies according to the classification of the four classes of migratory birds. Spring shooting is absolutely prohibited, as is the shooting of migratory birds between sunrise and sunset. In most cases three months of open shooting for water fowl are allowed, and in ho case will there be less than thirty days, when blrtls may be shot during the period of their greatest abundance. Birds may be shot as follows: Northern Zone—Water fowl, September 1 to Dee. 15; rail, September to December 1; woodcock, October 1 to December I;'shore birds, September 1 to December 15. Southern Zone—Water fowl. Oct. 1 to January 15; rail, September 1 to December 1; woodcock, Nov. 1 to January 15; shore birds, September 1 to December 15. No shooting whatever is allowed of cranes, doves ortpigeons. Robins, larks and smallhole birds are protected at all times. Hunting on the great rivers of the country, Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi, prohibited durhig November and December. x

■ Gayety Airdome FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS. Coombis Brothers, Roman Athletes 200 pounds easily lifted for brothers juggling 250 pound weights and 200 pound men with Surprising facility and ease, and performing many other startling feats of strength that arouses the wonder of practically all of the many people that made up the large Bijou audience on Thursday. The Coombis Brothers, Roman athletes, give an exhibition that is easily one of the features of the new show at that house for the last three days of the week. Both men possess marvelous strength, and one of the brothers, Theodore, was the winner of the famous contest conducted two years ago by the Physical Culture Magazine, when he was awarded SIOO in gold and a gold medal for being the most perfect proportioned athlete and having the best muscular development of the 23,000 men who sent photographs for the contest. The act is oepned with a fine series of Grecian posings, finely mounted and intelligently presented, followed by a wide variety of feats of strength that can be depended upon to amaze even the most accomplished athletes, who invariably join regular theatre goers in witnessing the act, wherever it appears.

RETURNED FROM TRIP TO THE SOUTHWEST

B. D. McColly And W. V. Porter Took 2,500 Mile Trip In Quest Of Veneering Timber. I Ben D. McColly and Walter V. Porter returned Thursday from a trip of 2,500 miles through the southwest in quest of good timber for veneering purposes. They did not make any purchase, not finding just what they wanted. Mr. McColly has been runfflng timber camps in this county for some time, but there are now few trees that are large enough tot the purposes he supplies. Ben and Walter had a most enjoyable trip, which- started by a visit to Caney county, near Branson, Mo. They then went to Rodgers, Okla., where Abe Hardy and his sister, Miss Lizzie, and their mother, reside. Abe is well and is looking fine and has a good crop. The farm they are on belongs to his brother, Frank Hardy. They went next to Little Rock, where there are some people who have forgotten that the war is over. They were very much Attracted by the Jeff Davis statue, which is a monument to confederate veterans. Beneath the figure of the former president of the confederacy is the following inscription: “Our furled banner Wreathed with glory, And though conquered We adore it; | Weep for those Who fell before it, Pardon those who Trailed and tore it.” •Ben spoke of meeting a southerner with one eye and he asked how he lost it. He replied with spirit: “Some damned Yankee shot it out and they pensioned the.... for doing it.” • They went from Little Rock to Memphis, Tenn., and then to St. Louis and from there home, arriving Friday morning, after a pleasant but quite dusty trip.

BOYS INDULGED IN PUBLIC EGG-THROWING

Fruit Missed Those Aimed At And Ruined Girl’s Dress.—Spanking A Needed Treatise. An egg-throwing combat between some town boys during the progress of the band concert Thursday evening may result in getting some youths in trouble. The boys who engaged in it are splendid young fellows and their act was marked by the greatest abandon of thoughtfulness and discretion. From what The Republican is able to learn two boys put on some false faces and were parading the street wheh some other boys pelted them with eggs. They procured some over-ripe hen fruit and returned the fire, but their marksmanship was poor and the eggs spattered about the sidewalk and coping on the west side of the courthouse and several received spots on their dresses. The most serkhisly damaged was Miss Sabina Hart, who is visiting the family of Joe Davisson. She is employed in the Hammond telephone office. Miss Hart’s dress, a brand new one, was so terribly spotted with the egg that it could not be cleaned and is practically ruined. The damage is placed at sl2. Mr. Davisson’s daughter also received several spots on her dress from the same egg. It is probable that the responsibility will be placed on the lads and that they will be required to make good the damage to Miss Hart, which will be letting them off quite easy.

A Pettifogging Senator.

The American people like fair play, and therefore they take no pleasure in the spectacle afforded by Senator Reed, of Missouri, who flayed Lobbyist Lamar, whose stories involved two of his political friends. Senator Stone and Speaker Clark, but who wishes to deny to the men whose reputations are impunged by Lobbyist Mulhall the right even to cross examine a witness with whom the Missouri senator is quite evidently cheek by jowl. In the case of Lamar Senator Reed figured before the senate <tommittee as an attorney for the defense. In the case of Lobbyist Mulhall, a similar character, Reed appears as the pettifogging attorney tor the prosecution, and wishes to deny to the defendants in the case the ordinary right accorded a horse thief in the courts of Missouri. It is evident, of course, that Reed is playing the probe game for partisan political purposes. The truth in the matter does not concern him, he is merely anxious to extract from the Mulhall story whatever political advantage there may be in it. But when Lamar was on the stand, his efforts were directed to discrediting an accuser of friends of his own. This is the sort of "statesmanship’’ which nauseates fair minded people.
