Treat at the Rex Theatre All This Week.

As ’manager of the Rex Theatre I wish to state that the special attraction at my house this week is so far ahead of all expectations that I feel it is my duty tp say through the columns of The Daily Republican that if you are missing this Classic Treat, it is your own fault. Never in the history of our city, even in the Lyceum field, have we had such an entertainer as John Ennor is proving to be. This is one of the highest and most refined evening entertainments that ever graced the footlights of any theatre in our city. You cannot afford to miss one single night, rain or shine, as a complete change of program is given nightly. I can and do recommend the attraction at my house this week. Most truly yours,

REX WARNER, Manager.

E. P. HONAN CHAIRMAN; PETERSON RENOMINATED

Tenth District Democrats Held Convention at Hammond—President Wilson Praised. N sJohn B. Peterson, of Grown Point, present congressman from the tenth congressional district of Indiana, was renominated by the democrats at Hammond Monday. Attorney Edward P. Honan, of Rensselaer, presided as ©hairman, he having been nominated by Patrick Finnerty, of Gary. Frank O’Rourke, of Hammond, was the permanent secretary.

Possibly Attorney Honan was no, hitting at Editor Babcock when he made his speech, but he seems to have fit him with a pair of custommade shoes when he referred to bad losers. He said: “Congressman Peterson is a good democrat and was a good loser when he was defeated when first nominated. A man who is not a good loser should unite with the bull moosers or join some other party.” Mr. Honan said Champ Clark had honored every democrat in the district when he made Mr. Peterson a member of the judiciary committee, one of the most important in congress, as this committee first passes on all the laws which are to be debated in congress. He alluded to the embarrassment in which a congressman finds himself on account of the political jobs that are asked of him and gave his assurance that if Congressman Peterson could, he would like to give every man a job.

Mr. Honan paid a glowing tribute to Congressman Peterson, using his choicest phrases and most dramatic oratory in speaking in high terms of the man whom Editor Babcock has accused of being boss-ridden. District Chairman Murphy was on hand, having arrived on the scene Sunday to get everything in readiness. He proposed that resolutions be adopted and a committee was appointed with a member from each county. John A. McFarland, of Jasper county, was on the committee. The resolutions endorsed Congressman Peterson as a “splendid democrat and a thorough gentleman.” Senator Shively was on dorsed for re-election, Senator Kern was endorsed and President Wilson was praised to the skies. The candidacy of Thos. O’Connor, of Monticello, for treasurer, of state, was also endorsed. Congressman Peterson was nominated by J. J. Scheussler, of Lafayette. The mention of the congressman’s name was the signal for long applause. A. R. Hardesty, of Porter county, moved to make it unanimous and this was carried with a big shout. Congressman Peterson was then introduced tfnd he spoke for more than an hour on national issues and legislation. He told his

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1914.

Trespassers on Monon Right-Of-Way are Liable to Arrest.

Boys or others who trespass on the right-of-way of railroads are liable to arrest and prosecution. In Rensselaer there has been a flagrant disregard of the rights of the railroad and it is said that recently boys have stolen corn from loaded cars along the track. This Tuesday morning when the local freight made a coupling with a string oif cars it was discovered that the coupling pins had been -drawn on all of the cars, which caused a lot of trouble to the trainmen, and, as it was raining, the brakeman who made the couplings got quite a soaking before he completed the job. He was naturally somewhat peeved and threatened to employ .his No. 10 on any boy caught in the act of pulling coupling pins. It is not improbable that a detective of the company will be asked to come here and if one is sent he will make it expensive fun for the trespassers.

Lyceum Course Announcement.

The next number of the Lyceum course will be given next Monday evening at' the Methodist church. The attraction will be Ellsworth Plumstead, the Entertainer.

This number will be free to the regular ticket holders but to others the charge will be the same as usual.

PEDIGREED PUP CAME NEAR BLINKING OUT

White Collie Owned by W. H. Pullin Caught in Wire Fence and Was Almost Frozen. The pedigreed white collie "pup owned ,by W. H. Pullin failed to appear for feed Saturday morning. Inquiry was made as soon as it was found out positively that she was not around the farm. It was finally decided that she must have been stolen. But Sunday the dog was ■found helplessly hanging by her right hind leg in a woven wire fence. She could only touch her fore feet to’the ground. She was about a half mile from the house and the wind had been in the wrong direction to carry the faint, pitiful howls to the house. She was living but was exhausted and her leg was frozen stiff. She was oarried home and revived but it is a question as to whether she will lose her leg entirely or not.

Temporary Bridge at Lafayette Will Not Be Rebuilt.

The temporary bridge across the Wabash river at Lafayette, which was built by the street car company and the county after the Main street structure had been destroyed by the flood ot last year, was carried out by an ice gorge last week. The ice had backed up for a long distance and an effort was made by the use of dynamite to dislodge the ice but to no avail and the structure was carried out one day last week. It was decided not to rebuild it, as it would require the expenditure of considerable money and something like 90 days to complete it. It is expected that the new bridge, which is in course of construction will be completed within four or five months. Communication between Lafayette and the west side is again forced to go by the Brown street bridge and street cars can not cross the river at all.

The slate of Indiana should refuse to give further aid to Purdue University until the saloons are voted out of Tippecanoe county.

Demented Tramp Visited Rensselaer—They’re Dangerous.

An aged tramp visited Rensselaer Monday. He was about as crazy as a loon and it is probable he is not apt to become dangerous. The man came into The Republican office and asked for exchanges. As we handed him a couple of papers he said: “I have been looking for the Savior, but 'he is not at any of the hardware stores.” We remarked that he should look for him at the printing offices instead of the hardware stores. He lurched forward as he hissed: ‘The knife, the knife, it is the savior.” “Let me tell you, mister, that the knife is the real savior. If an apple has rotten spots we cut them out and you must use a knife to cut out the bad from the people.” He was very serious and his eyes gleamed with eagerness and he reached into his pockets as if he were about a draw a knife. We told him that the knife was dangerous and that people might ba killed if it was used. “What matter,” he said, “they had better be dead. Don’t the surgeons use the knife to cure physical ailments? That is the only remedy and we must have the knife, the knife.” He was anxious to explain, saying that several great women had told him to talk to the people about it and that if tramps were threatened by the use of the knife for sterilization they would quit bumming and go to work. He was informed that we could not longer listen to him and he went away, saying that he was going to lopk for the savior. He is said to have visited a number of houses and to have frightened a number of women.

Lafayette Morning Journal Sold to Henry W. Marshal.

Henry W. Marshall, some years ago the chairman .of the republicans of the tenth congressional district, has purchased the Lafayette Morning Journal of George P. Haywood and Sons. Mr. Marshall also recently purchased the Lafayette Sunday Times and he will run the papers probably from the same office. The Journal will continue as a republican paper. The Burt-Haywood publishing company will be separated from the Journal newspaper and will occupy a new building now iu course of construction. John W. Kern, U. 8. senator, in a personal letter to James Kirby Risk of Lafayette, expresses his belief that the state democratic machine is at present engaged in the business of sidetracking certain people who have failed to win its favor and intimates that he is one of thdse singled out as a target for the attacks.
