Grow, vice president; Mrs. Clara Andrus, secretary, and Mrs. W. L. Myer, treasurer. The society plana to take an active interest in church work and to pursue various means of creating interest in church work among the young people as well as getting money for the aid of the church finances. It was arranged to meet twice each month, on the first and third Wednesdays. One meeting to be in the afternoon and one in the evening. The first meeting will be held Wednesday night of next week with Mrs. O. F. Parker, wh<f with Mrs. Leonard Rhoades, will be hostesses.

Substantial Man Makes Prediction That There is Really Something Going to Happen. ‘ A man whose honest intentions are well known and whose opinions have a great amount of weight is responsible for the prediction that “something is. going to drop” in Rensselaer. Possibly you' have an idea what it is, but if .you have not, we will take you into our confidence and inform you that the prediction is made by the weatherman and that the “something” that is going to drop is either rain or snow or both and also the mercury. The forecast is pot made for Rensselaer alone but also for about all the central states. Yesterday there was a big drop of the mercury in the northwest and it is due to reach Indiana today.' “Get your earmuffs” out is the warning of the weather bureau.. I. H.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1913.

EFFORT TO POSTPONE J. L. WILLIS TRIAL

Defendants Are Said to Be Trying to Secure Further Delay of Criminal Case. ' ' -■« X ■ . * ; ■ *,- « Fulfilling the suspicions of many Rensselaer people it is said that the attorneys for James L. Willis, proprietor of the Wiillis garage, who is charged with a criminal assault of a 14-year-old girl, are going to seek a postponement. The trial is set for Friday of this week at Kentland, where it was sent on change of venue, and a large number of Rensselaer people have been subpoenaed as character witnesses in case Willis takes the stand in his own defense, which he did not do at the preliminary hearing. It would be a travesty on justice to postpone this trial and we do" hot believe the cchirt WiM permit, it unless the reason is of very great importance. It is proba.ble that there is not a man, womah or child in this city who is not convinced that Willis is,guilty of this assault, and it is somewhat of a disgrace that he has been permitted to stalk about the city a free man during the time since the act was alleged to have been committed, and to secure a postponement at this time would be an insult to the respectable people of this community and it would go a long way to inspiring a question of the justice of our laws if the postponement can be procured.

SOMETHING IS GOING TO DROP IN RENSSELAER

ANOTHER BLUE BEARD STUNT BY CHAS. VICK

Arrested at Logansport for Bigamy —Stands Good Chance of Going to the Pen. A warrant for arrest of Charley Vick, painter, of Logansport, on the charge of bigamy, was issued a few days ago. His latest escapade seems to be the marriage of a girl at Star .City, when he already had a wife and four children. Last summer he sent his wife and the children here to live off his infirm parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Vick, and it is understood that the marriage to the other woman occurred before them came here. There is nothing attractive about Charley and his line of talk is not apt to land any real prizes in his collection of wives, but for the past twelve or fifteen years he has followed the practice of getting married every once in awhile just for .the fun of the thing. Some years ago while living in Rensselaer he had wives here, in Chicago and at Sunman, Ind. He skipped out and for Along time was a fugitive from justice. It finally dawned upon his various wives that they had none of them lost anything by getting rid of him and when he returned no prosecutions were made. Now, the case seems clear against him and he has a good chance “to stand on the inside and look out.”

MONEY STILL NEEDED BY STATE OFFICIALS

After Borrowing >460,000 the State is Still Short and S. O. S. Call is Made. Democratic economy is still the subject of wonder over the state. Last week it became known that in September the funds of the state became exhausted and that secretly the board of state finances had negotiated a loan of $460,000 from Indianapolis banks. That sum was soon spent and now the treasury is empty and a “hurry up” call has been sent to the 92 treasurers of the state to/make an advancement of the December settlement. The treasurer of Marion county came to the temporary rescue and gave his check for $65,649.68. A new law provides that county treasurers shall make settlement every month instead of every six months, but treasurers have ignored siis. Since the county gets interest on funds deposited in local banks, the sending of the funds to the state treasurer would serve to rob the county of the interest thus derived and seems to be another scheme of the democratic legislature to benefit the state at the expense of the counties. Democratic mismanagement of the affairs of the state has not only exhausted all the . money provided by the old tax levy and caused the borrowing of money to meet the running expenses, but is responsible for the increased state tax levy, which all taxpayers will have to meet when they pay their taxes next year. These facts are making’way for the election of a republican for governor three years hence and the available men of the state should be considered from this time on, with a view to securing a man with conscience and business ability and then to back him up with a legislature of honest, clean men. Eight years of denlocracy is certain to prove an expensive experiment for the people of Indiana.
