MOROCCO WENT "DRY” BY 83 MAJORITY

Newton County Town Gives Positive Expression Against Reinstatement of Saloons. • ’ Morocco and Beaver township, Newton county, returned a “dry” majority of 83 votes in the option election last Saturday. The claims of the saloon advocates that they would carry the township fell flat. The ministers and the temperance peoflle made a good flight, which Editor Builta, of the Courier, aided in every possible way, and the victory is decisive. Last week a big public meeting a was held in which speakers from Goodland related their experience with saloons after a period of freedom from them. The people were.mighty glad of another chance to put them out of business and did so effectively. It is a calamity for any small town to have saloons and Morocco is to be congratulated on the result of the election.

Republican Receives Many Kind Words For Meat Article.

The Republican believes that practically every person in this city and in surrounding country believes that meat pPipes In Rensselaer have been higher than the cost of the meat on hoof justifies? and the article published last Saturday in The Evening Republican and which is published in the current issue of the Semi-Weekly Republican has caused a great amount of discussion and many people have expressed themselves to the writer in a commendatory manner. Milt Roth, of the Roth Bros.’ firm, has taken umbrage at the article and in a pleasant little discussion about the matter has invited us to examine his purchase books to ascertain tljp price that has been paid for butcher stuff, claiming that we stated it too low in the article referred to. We have offered, to accept Mr. Roth’s invitation to make this investigation and will be pleased to accept his figures as correct for the prices he has paid. They may not alter out expressed opinion that the selling price of meat is too high, but of that we can talk later. Dozens of people have told of circumstances that make them think that their meat costs very much too much and comparisons have been made of prices here and at other places, but these have so far not been very thorough and will be gone into more extensively in the effort this paper has inaugurated to get the people their money’s worth. Mr. Roth is a man who prides himself bn his honesty and states that he is running his business so that he can make seme money, but that he does not want an unreasonable profit and has not been getting it. He says that the big farm purchased was bought largely on time and that he presumes some people think his firm has made enough money to pay for it in a short time, but that this is not )the case We mention thbse things because we want to present Mr. Roth in the light in which he desires to be presented and we would not do him an Intentional injury for the world. Mr. Roth says he don’t care who weighs his meat after he sells It, but'that he dqn’t want it weighed on any dollar scales. We believe that an absolutely honest scale can be bought for $1 an<f a loca’ dealer in scales states that they are right and can be tested with auy correct scales in town. They are for kitchen use. We believe you can not invest a dollar to better advantage and'this is said without any malice or without charging dishonesty to any person. • A lady who ordered two pounds of meat recently'weighed it and found that it only contained 1% pound. She called the butcher and he corrected the mistake. But if she had not had the scales the mistake would have stood. The Republican wishes to talk with farmers and others who have been selling butcher beef and thus to ascertain what the prlee is that is being paid., We want to be perfectly fair with the butchers and we want the public to get the benefit of this campaign if meat prices have hitherto been too high. i ——

BRONCHO BUSTERS WERE EASY PICKING

Team Advertised As Semi-Pros Proved Bnnch Of Good Fellows Out For A “Joy Ride.” Rensselaer fans were disappointed Sunday at the ball game, which proved somewhat of a farce from the fact that the visiting team put up a very poor contest and did not fulfill the expectations based upon their advertising. The team was called the Cattlemen’s Commercial club and nick named the “broncho busters.” The team was made up of a nice bunch of fellows individually but they were a poor lot of ball players collectively. During the progress of the game the infield showed up fairly well in spots, but Rensselear was in such keen form that by comparison the visitors looked very weak. Clark and Wilcox were in fine shape and Clark had everything needed for a much harder contest. He struck out 18 of the cattlemen and allowed only two singles, one of which was a scratch that Eldridge almost brought down. Only 30 men faced Clark and but two reached second base. In the third, fourth and sixth innings he fanned every man. The story is better told in the summary: / ' ' . u__ r h e Chicago 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-0 2 6 Athletics 24000110 x—B 11 1 RENSSELAER R H PO A R Parks 2b 2 10 0 0 Swartzell lb 1 3 5 0 0 E.

He got two hits, his first for the season. » Denniston could not see the ball and chopped twice. He did not get a chance in the field nor a hit and has a clean string of ciphers in the summary. Eldridge played well at short, making a sensational stop, of the first batted ball and lining out a elean hit in the fifth. He looks like a steady. Elder got a bad bump on his left arm when at bat in the second inning and it pained him throughout the game and was doubtless responsible for his muffing a fly in the fifth.

The need of a field captain was demonstrated when Elder and ' Jesse Wilcox almost ran together when chasing a fly. The invariable thing happened—the hall was muffed. Elmer Wilcox got all eighteen put-outs resulting from that number of strikeouts. Usually the first sacker comes In for a few on a muffed third ball. It was also Wilcox’s fine throw to third that cut off Wheeler's attempt to steal and broke up the game The receipts were $49.70. Lowell next Sunday. Batting averages to date: \ G Ab H Pot. E.

UNION S. S. PICNIC FOR NEXT THURSDAY

Business Houses Will Be Asked To Close For the Big Event To , Be Held In Kansas Grove. A Union Sunday School picnle, in which all the Sunday-schools of Marion Township are expected to take part, is to be held in Kanne’s Grove on the west side of town next Thursday. It is hoped that all persons interested in 8. S. work will come with well filled baskets prepared to help make this the best S. 8. picnic ever held in Rensselaer. Each family is requested to bring a tablecloth marked with the owner’s name, also enough dishes for their own use. It has been the custom heretofore to furnish ice cream and lemonade free but on account of the large number expected, this will be impossible this year, but there will be a stand on the ground where these and other articles may be bought. So bring your poeket books. A portion of the profits will be given to each school to help defray the necessary expenses. All peEsons wishing to ride to the grounds will find free conveyances at the Court House square from eleven to twelve o’clock. All who have conveyances, of any kind will confer a favor by being at the above meeting place. . . i .. A committee of representatives from each school has been appointed to circulate a petition asking every business house to close from twelve to four o’clock, that everyone may have a chance to go and it is sincerely hoped that not one wHI refuse.

Will Require Tire Drills In Schools.

The state fire marshal’s department is preparing to issue a bulletin about the time the schools open, concerning the necessity for fire drills. This bulletin will promulgate a set Of rules and regulations for fire drills to be observed in all the schools in Indiana. These rules wijl be adopted only after a thorough investigation has been made and after the counsel of men and women experienced in school work has been obtained. The law which created the fire marshal department specifically provides that It shall be the duty of the fire marshal and his assistants to “require teachers of public and private schools and educational institutions to have one fire drill each month and to keep all doors and exists unlocked during school hours.” It is said that there are many schools, especially in the smaller towns and rural communities, where the fire drill is absolutely unknown. With the aid of the large force of assistants, such as Is provided by law, it is believed that the fire marshal will be enabled to enforce the new law. All chiefs of fire departments in incorporated towns, clerks of towns having no fire chief, and township trustees, are named as assistants to the fire marshal, and are obligated to help enforce sueh provisions of the law as that requiring fire drills.. One point which has been suggested during the conferences on the aubjer t, Is that fire drill rules, so far as practicable shall be observed in regular dismissals of schools. This refers to such rules 'as that boys shall precede girls because boys are apt to trample the girls during a panic resulting from actual fire and that girls are sure to be frightened by boys coming down behind them. Another such rule which might be applied at regular dismissals is that the teacher should follow the children instead of preceding them, in order that in case of fire, no pupil might be left behind. The fire marshal’s department will also give special attention to fire escapes during the winter, to see that they are available for the purpose intended. Fire drills and regular dismissals by way of the fire escapes will be required in order that the children may become acquainted with this method of escape It will be required that the fire escapes be kept free from obstructions and that when there is ice or snow on them, they be sprinkled with ashes or sand. Another feature which will be an innovation In many places where a form of fire drill has been observed, will be that the pupils will be required to continue their march out and away from the school in different directions. In many Instances it is said that fire drills ended at the front doors and the pupils were required to return at once to their desks.
