Hon. T. F. Palmer, Monticello, Is Honored By Masons.

Monticello Democrat. Hon. T. F. Palmer, who is one of the seventy-five or eighty 33rd degree Masons in the state of Indiana, has f had the distinguished honor of being named as one of the two committeemen from this state who are to look after the Charitable Foundation, a fund of Scottish Rite Masons in the northern jurisdiction of the United States, the interest of which is used in the promotion of the welfare of members and of their widows and orphans. There are only fifteen states in this jurisdiction. Those east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river and the old Mason and Dixon line are in this district. The committee is made up of two members from each state with the supreme officer of the jurisdiction, and tjie fund which they are to minister amounts to about $625,000, only the interest of which is used in benevolences and relief work. Wm. Geake, the most/prominent and active Scottish Rite Mason in the state, is the other member from Indiana. Tire committee is to meet in Chicago, Monday, Sept. 14.

Dr. Shupert, Chiropractor, Sells Out to Dr. Joe Jeffries.

Dr. J. C. Shupert, the chiropractor, has sold his practice here to Dr. Joe Jeffries, a graduate of the Palmer School at Davenport, lowa, and a former resident of Reilsselaer. Dr. Shupert will visit his old home in Elkhart for four weeks and «then go to Cuba, where he expects to locate in his profession. He has a good opening 150 miles east of Havanna, and having desired for some time to locate in a foreign country he decided to dispose of his business here. Since locating in Rensselaer he has built up a nice practice, for which he desires to extend his thanks. Mr. Jeffries is well known here, has many friends and will no doubt enjoy a nice practice.

More than 4,000 ministers and church workers from all parts of the world are expected at Winona Lake this week to a ttend the nual Bible conference. President Wilson Wednesday signed the nomination of Attorney General James' C. Mcßeynolds to be a member of the United States supreme «oourt, rnd of Thomas Watt Gregory of Texas to be attorney general of the United States.

Adair, of Portland, who will probably be renominated by the democrats. * * Ferdinand Bdrges, a former resident of Logansport, has just been paroled from the Massachusetts penitentiary after serving eight years of a fifteen years sentence, imposed for his complicity-' in the Übello rubber plantation swindle.

WM. CAUSE CARNIVAL AUG. 31 TO SEPT. 5

, Local Lodge of Red Men to Bring Carnival Here for Entire Week —Largest Ever Shown Here. * O. C. Reel, the advance man of the Wm. Gause carnival, was here on Thursday and in a conference with the local order of Red Men interested them in the carnival now showing at Valparaiso. It seems that there was a mix-up in the dates of the show, and th/advance man who was sick for several weeks, cancelled an engagement that was made during his illness. Rensselaer is the smallest place that they have shown, as the size of the carnival is such that larger cities are played. The contract with the local parties was conditioned on a visit to the shows at Valparaiso, which was made last evening, and the representatives who went to Valparaiso are enthusiastic about the carnival. It. is the cleanest show on the road, everything connected with it°being clean, moral and refined. Not one feature is off color; there are no girl shows, but the show advertises as being clean /from top to bottom in every particular. The local committee, after -.scing, signed up, and as a result Renssealer will have the largest carnival in her history, starting Monday, Aug. 31, and ending September 5.

This carnival carries ten pay shows, a ferris wheel, merry-go-round and motordrome. There are twenty concessions with the carnival. The big feature headline of the aggregation is a thirty-piece Italian band, which is the biggest and best carnival band in the country. It is the custom of the management to always give a sacred cohcert in the town on the Sunday preceding the opening day. The coneert by this band will be held on the court house - lawn on Sunday evening, Aug. 30, from 7 to 9 p. m., and from all reports it will be a sacred concert worth coming a long ways to hear. The churches at Valparaiso dismissed last Sunday to attend in a body, and the Rensselaer men who went up to see and learn for themselves, vouch that this show is all that is claimed for it. The following members of the Red Men lodge were active in getting this entertainment for Rensselaer, and will have charge of the carnival: A 1 Wallace, True Woodworth, Cal Cain, Chas. Rishling, Fred Arnott, Frank Rowen and Ed J. Duvall. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Lee Richards yesterday.

“The Climax.”

The vocabulary which would or-' dinarily be used in describing ‘The Climax.” has been so abused in its application to every kind of show on the stage that it has become meaningless and trite. It is difficult, therefore, to express adequately the charm which ‘The Climax” really possesses. The story itself is a clean and simple one/ Adaline Yon Hagen, a girl with musical aspirations, is living in Now York with her poor uncle, Lui Golfanti, who is training her voice. The other persons of the story are the professor’s son, Pietro, and a young doctor who was a childhood friend of the girl, both of whom are openly in love with her, but she puts them off lightly with eyes only for her art. To correct a slight flaw in her voice, Adaline consents to undergo a small operation which was arranged for her by Dr. Raymond. While she is in his care following the operation, the doctor employs the power of mental suggestion to convince the girl that she would never sing again, and when the day comes on which she can test her voice, the on(e chance of failure in a thousand proves to® be hers—she cannot sing. After a time she consents to mar ry the doctor. On -ihe very night of Adaline’s wedding Pietro begins reminiscently running over his “Song, of the Soul,” which he had torn up at the loss of her voice. She starts to .hum and, before she realizes it, has sung the song through. In the joy which follows the recovery of her voice only the doctor can not participate and he and his duplicity are forgotten in the girl’s ambitious prospect of the future.

The real charm of the play does not, however, lie in the story but in the details.' The personality of Adaline, 4he repartee of the family circle gathere about the professor's table, the reality of the little incicents of daily life built around this Riot as a nucleus—these constitute the real strength of the play, and one must see It to appreciate them. Mr. Rolfe and his company are admirably fitted to bring out In fullest measure every possibility •The Climax”, holds, making it a play no one should fail to see.—At opera house; Saturday, August 22.

Crown Point Not Encouraged Over Prospect of Gifford Road.

Crown Point Register. The Monon engineers working on the extension of the “old Gifford railroad,” finished the fifth line last week which strikes St. John. This route crossed the Cedar Lake stone road at the south line of the “Opal farm,” two miles south of Crown Point. The only bad obstruction of coming closer to this city is the crossing of the Beaver Dam sink hole marsh, which frightens the officials, as they have had Similar trouble at the south end of Cedar Lake for a short distance on the old line, which cost the company more to fill than they paid for the entire Gifford* road, which is forty miles in length. No line as yet has been settled on, but it appears quite certain it will not come near enough to this city to be of any benefit on account *of the Beaver Dam marsh being directly west of this place and must be crossed if they run north of the new park at the fair grounds, which our people and the road’s officials hoped could be done when the matter was first taken up. At present we have but little encouragement for a north and south road.

Dr. Rose Remmek, whose office is over Jessen’s jewelry store, calls attention to the fact that all glasses procured from her are not only properly fitted for defects of eyesight but are examples of what perfection in optical grinding means, and are always made in exact conformity to correct the defect as found by examination. Ask her for a further explanation.—Adv. Those interested in the way of an organization to boost local entertainments and fairs in Monticello have determined to hold a good old-fashioned county fair here, October 14-17, inclusive. There will be prizes offered for all kinds of farm and home products as well as for horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. Plenty of amusement schemes are being planned for those who come to such places In the way of recreation. —Monticello Democrat.
