OVERLOOKED AN ITEM OF IMPORTANCE MONDAY

Brief Visit or Mr. G. Hog Was Not Chronicled—Annual Stunt Missed Our Rpeorter.

The Republican overlooked an item of importance Monday, failing to mention the annual visit of Mr. G. Hog, In some manner in the scurry of our reporter to gather and disseminate the news, many things of minor importance were mentioned, while the item of major importance was ignored. The grounder, however, was on duty and so was the sun and thereby hangs a shadow and a lot of gloom. The sun shone brightly from early morning until after the dinner hour, when a misty rain tell for a short time and then it cleared up again and the evening was starlight find moonlight. 'The groundhog evidently saw his figure silhouetted on the ground about as soon as he emerged and probably sustained a sprained back as he turned about to make his getaway. However, if be is fortunate enough to have a’ bottle of Lyman Zea’s pain killer, he should be able to make his within six which is to be the period of his confinement in his underground dungeon. In the meantime gollashes and feather boas are to remain in style and pneumonia doctors will be kept busy.

PURTELLE OFFERS TO BUILD BIG SUBWAY

Our Own Eugene Says That French Capital Will Construct Chicago’s Underground Road.

Well, well, here’s Eugene Purtelle again. The festive ’Gene is never lacking in nerve and each defeat only serves to inspire him to greater and more visionary endeavors. Three years ago he was trying to build an interurban railroad through Rensselaer and was issuing checks without any funds in the bank. A year or two later he was lodged in jail at*Frankfort for having pulled off a similar deal on a larger scale between that city and Tipton. But little things like that don’t defter him from , imagining himself a financier and Monday he secured an audienee with Mayor Carter Harrison in Chicago and proposed a scheme of furnishing French capital to construct a considerable part of the Chicago’s proposed subway. Chicago papers give extensive mention to PurMle’s plan, and he is called an engineer. The scheme of construction is considered comprehensive, but Gene doubtless has no more prospect of securing capital from France to back him than he has of boring the subway with _ a gimlet. _ Evidently Chicago newspapers, which are giving him considerable mention, forget hip various ex-ploits,-one of which was his falure while a member of the board of trade and his schedule of liabilities which included large debts that he did not owe. Purtelle’s colossal, gall and fertive imagination have all other bugs of his variety backed off the boards. When we hear from him next we expect he will be proposing a scheme to build a railroad of golden rails to the Eternal City.

Many Inquiries About the Proposed B. & L. Association.

Many persons have been, talking about the proposed building and loan association and many who wish to build the coming summer have -signified their willingness to become share holders, while a large number also who do not want to be borrowers have said that they will take out stock and thus help provide the funds for the builders. All that is necessary now to start an association is to secure plans, adopt them and begin soliciting stock. From twenty to thirty houses and possibly more will be built in. Rensselaer this year if the money can be secured.

WILL SEE CEMENT SHOW IN CHICAGO

Machinery and Cement Products Will Be Exhibited at Coliseum February 12th to 21st.

A number of building material dealers, contractors, and cement workers of this city are organizing a party to go to the Chicago Cement Show, February 12th-21st. The cement show is-held in the Chicago Coliseum, the famous old building in which so many big expositions, national political conventions and other notable - events have been held. The cement show is held in Chicago every year and is the annual gathering of the cement workers, dealers and contractors from all parts of the country. The exhibition consists of all kinds of cement working machinery, materials and products that enter into concrete construction. About two hundred exhibitors take pSrt in the show. In connection with the will be a number of important conventions, including the American Concrete Institute, National Builders’ Supply Association, National Conference on Concrete Road Building, Illinois Lumber and Builders’ Supply Dealers’ Association, Illinois Association of Municipal. Contractors and Interstate Cement Tile Manufacturers’ Association. -The Cement Show is attended annually by about 50,000 delegates and visitors. Cement is now used in such a great variety of products and it is used so generally in building construction that not only the architects, engineers and contractors are concerned but the laymen also take great interest in the show. The application of cement has become so extensivelhatit hasheen said that, ,we are living in the cement age. With streets and roads, houses, factories, bridges, sidewalks, silos, barns,' granaries, fence posts, culverts, steps, cellars, porches, foundations, pergolas, tanks, and reservoirs all built of concrete it would seem that this material is destined to supplant wooden construction. Lumber is increasing in price and each year the supply diminishes.! Cement is increasing in production at a marvelous rate. The price has declined steadily for fifteen- years and with its other many advantages of fireproofness and durability, cement promises a big future.—Adv.

About three week* ago Brother Babcock “explained” to the extent of a full column how grieviously he had been misrepresented by The Republican about the hall rent question. He professed close friendship for all the Red Men and one would have thought from the tears thait were shed over the front page of the newspaper that he really had compassion for the noble aboriginees. Last week the paper took a somewhat different tael;: and bemoaned the action of the Woodmen order in letting the Red Men share their (hall in the Odd Fellow building, apparently playing the dog in the manger stunt In other words, it appeared as though he proposed that if the Red Men did mot keep his hall at the advanced rental he would do his part to prevent them from getting any other place. The Democrat states that at a meeting of the Woodmen lodge to consider the proposition of admitting the Red Men, three-fourths of those present were Red Men. As a matter of fact, and the editor could have so ascertained had he tried, there were only ten of the twentytwo present who were Red Men. This presentation of the fact as against the misrepresentation made by The Democrat, will probably elicit a full column “explanation” and another claim that poor Bab is being abused by The Republican. It’s ! too bad, isn’t it?
