Has Subsidy Law Promoted Interurban Building?

The following letter signed “Farmer," was received this week, by The Republican: "Editor Republican; It is claimed that Indiana has more miles of interurban than any other state; also that Indianapolis is the greatest interurban center in the world. Does any one dispute this? Now, other conditions being equal, do subsidies help or hinder railroad building? Why has Indiana surpassed older and more densely populated states that permit no subsidies to be voted? Now, we are not seeking the “lime light", but won’t you please state the facts on these lines?”

HIGH SCHOOL WON FIRST BALL GAME

Defeated Delphi Wednesday In 10Inning Contest—Some Stars in Embryo. Rensselaer defeated Delphi high school in their first contest of the season at Riverside park Wednesday afternoon. The contest was close and hard-fought throughout and was not decided until the last half of the I tenth, when the locals pushed over the winning marker with two men out. The final score was 5 to 4. ■ The contest was interesting and the fans were given almost everything that is possible to be seen in the great national pasttime, from clever fielding and hard hitting to some of the best ivory plays ever pulled on a diamond. Taken as a whole however, each team put* up an excellent brand of ball. The locals should have won in the regulation nine innings. A good opening was spoiled in the ninth when Bill Eigelsbach was perched on second with no hands down. Hollingsworth was safe on error, but pulled a John Anderson immediately after reaching that station, stealing second while Bill calmly stood on the, cushion. Eigelsbach was nipped at third. Red Healy and Sines both went the route and each kept their hits well scattered and dished out six safeties apiece. Rensselaer went into the lead in the first by scoring two markers, while Delphi was blanked. Delphi evened up matters in their half of the fourth on three successive singles, but Rensselaer forged back into the lead in their half by a one run margin. Delphi evened the count at three all in their half of the fifth frame and the game then went along on even terms until the eighth, when Delphi went to the front. Delphi was blanked in their ninth and things looked had for the red and black. Healy breezed to start the ninth and Beam was thrown out at first. English singled and stole second and third and it was up to Booster, who responded with a well placed single over second, sending the game into extra innings. Delphi was blanked in the tenth. Blue was tossed out at first and Cumick went hack to the water

MYSTERY SURROUNDS MAN'S DISAPPEARANCE

Foul Play Suspected and Neighbors Seem Inclined to Relieve That Farmer was Murdered. Some two weeks ago a man named Cecil Van Meter disappeared from his home not far from Monon, and only a short distance across the White county line from Jasper county. After Van Meter disappeared a man by the name of Frank Hoover took up his residence at the Van Meter home and has gone ahead with tthe work. It is said that Mrs. Van Meter seems entirely indifferent about the disappearance of her husband and this has led the neighbors to suspect that Van Meter may have met an untimely end. It is said, however, that on one or two other occasions he has left home without letting any person know he was going and would remain away several days. This time he has been gone more than two weeks and a farmer who lives near there informed The Republican that neighbors have been digging up some “soft” spots on the farm with the belief that his body is buried some place thereabouts. Van Meter left a considerable amount of personal property, such as stock and corn. This leads to the theory that foul play may have figured in the man’s disappearance. If he had voluntarily decided to leave his wife and three children it seems probable that he would have disposed of his personal property and taken the proceeds' along. There have been no developments, however, to substantiate a crime except the circumstances here mentioned.

WEATHER. Generally fair tonight and Friday; warmer east and central portions tonight.

pail after three swipes at the ball. Babcock pushed a slow roller to Loomey, who threw over first and Jimmy made his way to second. Babcock immediately stole third, Hollingsworth was safe on an error and Heady singled, sending Babcock over the rubber with the winning marker.
