Mary Stuart Edison’s Masterpiece in three parts The powerful and pathetie story of the unhappy queen MARY STUART Queen of Scotland

Though familiar to ey«ry school boy in the land, may be briefly told as fellows: Born in Scotland, educated at the court of Frances the II of France, whom she married at fifteen, Queen of France at sixteen, a widow at seventeen, beginning her reign as Scotland’s queen at eighteen, married to Darnley of the Royal Blood at nineteen, her life began amid turmoil and disaster. A charge of treason is brought against her by the English crown. She is found guilty and sentenced to the block. The Earl of Leicester has been secretly in love with Mary, but fearing for his safety, deserts her when the crisis comes. There is a white haired old man who follows her to the scaffold and a gray haired old woman bowed down by weeping. These, her nurse and her physician, the remnants of her faithful followers. She mounts the scaffold; the charges of treason are read to the hungry crowd watching. Oh, the anguish on the Queen’s tired face at these false accusations. She forgives the headsman, offers a prayer for her too trusting soul and bares her white neck to the axe. This Beautiful Historical Drama Should Be Seen By All.

The Game of Poker.

Poker is a game of skill, if you win, and a gamp of chance, if you lose. It is played with cards, chips and crooks. It is a game with some men and a profession with others, and is played according to Hoyle, unless the hand is quicker than the eye. A royal flush is the highest hand in poker, but it is seldom held by honest men. Pour aces is considered a lucky hand, but to hold five aces always means misfortune, unless one is a past master in the art of getting away. The ideal place for a poker game Is the 'hretic circle, where the nights are six months' long. Hence the frequent dashes for the north pole. But in some places it is played in the hay mow otf a barn. ißeware the man who saith: “I know not the game but will sit in nevertheless.” Not only that, but have a care. Hfs mouth if filled with empty words and truth is not in him. _ . . t Miss Linda Langwith, of Davenport, lowa, is here for a visit of two weeks with Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Bringle.

TEN TRUE BILLS BY GRAND JURY

James L.'Willis Indieted for Rape and Warrants Issued for the Arrest of Others. The grand jury was in session Monday and Tuesday and the result of its work is told in ten true bills filed with the clerk of the court, Judson H. Perkins. While these indictments are kept secret until the warrants have been served by the sheriff it is reliably given out that one indictment is against James L. Willis, charging him with rape. This is a proceeding taken in all cases originating in-the justice courts. As soon as the warrants are placed in the hands of the sheriff the arrests will he made and a bond required by the circuit court. One indictment is against Claud Sigler, who was bound over to the circuit court last June following his arrest on the charge of having broken into Fred Phillips’ residence on May 30th. Sigler was in jail for some time, being finally released on SIOO cash hail furnished by his brother, Ross Sigler, of Tulsa, Okla. He is said to he at Thayer now. The persons named in the other indictments are unknown, as are the natures of the cases against them.

BELIEVES THAT WE NEED THE PARK

Citizen Says That No Time Should Be Lost in Buying Land and Landscaping It. “I wish,” said a citizen to The Republican editor today, “that you would get behind the new park proposition with plenty of vigor and see if we ean not make this proposition win out without longer delay.” The gentleman who expressed himself thus has had many opportunities to study the park plans adopted in many other cities and he knows that it is a common fault to put off the establishment of city parks until the land has become very high ih price and consequently desirable locations very difficult to acquire. The time to buy park property is before the town grows extensively and in Rensselaer the time is right now. A petition was circulated recently that contained the names of almost every citizen to whom it was presented. The council, or a majority, are understood to favor the purchase of a tract without delay and we believe that public sentiment is generally in favor of it as a means of making our city more attractive and in keeping with the spirit of advancement shown so generally by residents. The magnificent attention given to Weston cemetery by Sexton J. B. Holden and the splendid cooperation he has enjoyed from the cemetery board and the public in general has given us a cemetery equaled in no small city, we feel safe to say, in Indiana. Mr. Holden’s work is only begun. The landscaping plans when carried out will make it still more attractive. It has proven that Mr. Holden has nt>t only the initiative to plan but the ability to carry into execution his plans in a manner exceeding the prospectus bas proven him a real artist. There has been a turning toward the Strong tract, where the Chautauqua was located, and Mr. Holden has in his mind’s eye pictured this tract in a city park, connected with cemetery by means of a cement arch bridge, a driveway along the river bank, and the whole tract trimmed up and beautified. If the old Kannal property could be bought and included in the park, the city would own a tract only separated by one street and extending from the point of Milroy park, just across the river, to the west end of the cemetery. There is a possibility afforded in vers few cities and the cost would not be so immense, not nearly so great, we believe, as the advantages to be attained. The Republican will be pleased if any of its readers will offer to comment on this proposition through' these columns. The plan is of vital interest to all who expect to remain long In Rensselaer. It will furnish a park that will in time be worth to many, many times what it will coat. The time to acquire it is now. Later it would cost much more. If the money is not available to improve it, the needed things can be taken up leisurely and in three or four years we will have the work well Under way. It would be a grand thing if some of our wealthy men would buy the land and make the city a present of it, letting it bear the name of the donor as a memorial to his public spirited generosity

St. Augustine’s Church Notes.

Next Sfinday, the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, the services at St. Augustine’s Gathollc church will be as follows: Early mass with a short instruction at 8 o’clock. The St. Rose Sodality will receive holy communion at this mass. Holy rosary, high mass and sermon at 10 o’clock. At 2:30 Christian doctrine, devotional exercises and benediction. Divine services each morning during week at 8 o’clock. During next week occur the fall Ember-days. The Ember-days are the first Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of each of the four seasons of the year, set apart as fast days by the church. According to the testimony of the church they originated in the time of the Apostles, who were inspired by the Holy Ghost to dedicate each season of the year to God by a few days of penance, or, as It were, to pay three days of interest every three months' on the graces received from God. The church has also commanded us to feast at the beginning of each of the four seasons of the year, because it is at this time that she ordains the priests and other servants of the church, which even the Apostles did with much prayer and fasting. Thus she desires that during the Ember-days Christians should fervently ask of God by prayer and fasting and other good works, worthy patsors and servants, on whom depends the welfare of the whole Christian flock; she desires that in the spring Ember-days we should ask God’s blessing for the fertility of the earth; in the summer for the preservation of the fruit of the field; in autumn when the harvest is ripe, and in winter when it is sheltered that we should offer to God by fasting and prayer a sacrifice of thanks, petitioning Him to assist us, that we may not use His gifts for our soul’s detriment, but that we refer all praise to Him, the formation of all good, and assist our neighbor according to our means.

Green, north of town, received the sad news this Wednesday morning that the entire family of his son, Everet Green, except his wife, had been poisoned and that one of the Children was dead and the others in a critical condition. Poisoned meat is reported to have been the cause of their sickness. In response to a message from Michigan City, Clarence Green and Mrs. Mollie Vance, brother and slater of the man whose family is afflicted, went to Michigan City, leaving here on the 10:54 train. Further details are expected after their arrival. Newt.

Procured Medals and Cash At National Rifle Match.

First Sergeant Jerry B. Garland, of Company M, returned to Rensselaer Tuesday evening from Camp Perry, Ohio, where he has been since Aug. 12th, prior to which time for two weeks he was at Fort Benjamin Harrison in practice with the other fourteen members of the team that represented Indiana at the national match. Indiana fared far better than it ever did before in the national matches, showing a great development in the use of the military rifle in the state. Two years ago Indiana made a poor showing in the national team match, ending dp in twenty-first place In Class B. This year the tefcm ended up in third place in that class and for so doing each member of the team procured a bronze medal and the team received $225, which was divided among the members. Sergeant Garland was the high man for Indiana on this team, making a score of 230 out of a possible 250. He defeated Captain Van Auken, Captain Black, Captain Wimer, Captain Catlin, Sergeant Jarrett and Sergeant Goodwin, all of whom have been shooting for many years and who have attended a nujnl|r of the national ma toh eg. The greatest individual success Sergeant Garland had was securing fourth position in the national individual match. For this he received a beautiful medal and $45 in cash. He was among the high men in the Wimbleton cup match, the president’s match, the regimental team match and the enlisted men’s match, and received money in each match. His total money amounted to S7O, which was more than any other member of the Indiana team received. Sergeant Garland enjoyed the matches and reports an excellent camp and a fine time all around. The team was coached this year by Captain Grimstead, the instruction officer with the Indiana National Guard, and Lieut.-Coi. Coulter, of Vincennes, was the team captain.

The Class of People Who Wanted Saloons Returned.

* Crawfordsville had a local option election about ten days ago and went dry by a large majority, reports the Logansport Times. This is a big step for the temperance people when you stop to realize that the local option election was petitioned for by 930 wets, of whom 487 do not pay one cent of tax In Crawfordsville, not even poll tax; 325 of the rest of them pay no more than $5 tax. Then there are 171 of these petitioners who have had a police record in the last three and a half years, also 40 of these people in the last two years have received aid from the township poor relief fund, and this is the bunch that desired to help the fair city of Crawfordsville by bringing back the saloons, but praise God they couldn’t do it and Crawfordsville continues elean.

CAN’T DENY IT.

If Thiß Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer Ton Might Doubt It. The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged so frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following will stand investigation. It cannot be disputed. Charles Malchow, Harvey St., in Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my baek was the part most affected but often the pain extended through mjr shoulders and even into my neek. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Stores used them. After, taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief.” For sale by all dealers.

WHY SWELTER HERE WHEN HELL’S COOL?

This, However, Does in No Way R% fer to Satan’s Little Boarding House. Sharon, Pa.—The Daanm family of world-wide fame bids fair to lose its prestige and renown by the discovery of the Hell family in the thriving town of Farrell, built and modeled by the United States Steel corporation and named after the president of that concern. The members of the Hell family, while unostentatious, are not averse to using their name in a business way. For instance, the head of the family, Conrad Hell, a prosperous ice cream manufacturer, has signs reading "Go to Hell for lee Cream,” scattered throughout the city. Hell in many ways is making his name an insignia for his business. Another sign, which- flaunts in one’s face frequently, reads, "lee Cream from Hell is guaranteed pure and cooling.” Still another bears the Inscription, "Have you been to Hell? It’s the coolest plaee In FarreH.” The Hell famMy consists of Conrad and Catherine Hell, the father and mother, and two children, Miss - Anna W. Hell, a clerk, and Martin HeP. an electrician. Hell for several years, although doing a large business in the manufacture of ice cream, refrained from using his name in advertising his goods. Mr. Hell, however, has thrown aside all restraint and is now plastering the town with “Hell” in all colors and places. When a stringer first enters Main street he is startled by a big billboard sign reading: “Hell is hare; don’t miss the place” The big sign which, however, attracts the most attention is in front of Hell’s place of businesa It represents a young couple eating tea cream and the young woman saying to her escort: “Hell for mine always.” Bottled sunlight sold and Installed in suburban homes by the Watson Plumbing On, Phone 301
