PRESIDENT BRYAN TO LECTURE TONIGHT

Head of Indiana University to Address Audience at H. S. Auditorium at 8 o’clock. President Bryan comes to Rensselaer upon invitation of several persons in Rensselaer who are representative of various colleges and uhiversities of the various states. A movement was started in this community some time ago with the purpose in view of organizing a Uniyersity Club. The puroose of organizing this club is to hav2 an organization through which we may bring to Rensselaer such men as President Bryan and other men of big calibre from the universities and colleges of the country, bring them to Rensselaer to establish a stronger and greater university spirit and for the good benefit of the people of the city. These men may be secured through the extension departments of their universities for little expense and for this reason the meetings with these men can be thrown open to the public free of charge, as is the address tonight. Rensselaer is fortunate in being able to hear Dr. Bryan, as he is considered among our very best thinkers and speakers from the universities of the middle west. His address this evening will be held in the high school auditorium at 8 o’clock. A program has been arranged for in addition to the evening’s address and as this address, “The Trap,” is of popular interest, the evening should be both profitable and enjoyable to everyone. ’

They are again advertising extensively and their leaders are fully as attractive as on the other market event Their stores will all be bristling with bright spring and summer things and prices will prove that Rensselaer is a splendid place to trade. , The first was a happy, one for all concerned. The merchants were busy, the crowd was large, every one was good natured and it was a

Ninety-One Saved From Hospital For the Insane.

Logansport, Ind., April 22.—Ninetyone patients in two infirmary wards at the Northern Hospital for the Insane were saved from death by fire early today by prompt action of employes, when the two wards were destroyed. Fifty-five of the patients were bed-ridden. The fire followed an explosion of a coal oil stove. The loss is estimated at $25,000. Work of rebuilding will begin at once. The fire caused by the stove explosion was well under way when a dust explosion incurred in an elevator shaft when the hospital fire department found itself unable to cope with the flames the the Logansport department was called. Superintendent Terflinger called a meeting of the trustees for today when plans to rebuild at once will be formed, ” *—

grand day. This market day should be just as good or better than the other. Fanning is well advanced, recent abundant rains have put smiles on faces of farmers and merchants and there should be a breathing spell on the farm for this day, so that a great big gathering can be held in town. Our neighboring towns will doubtless send a large number of people here again and we expect to see even a larger crowd than we had here six weeks ago. Make your plans to come. Meet your friends here.

Columbus Druggist Got Into the Wrong Bathtub.

A Columbus, Ind., dispatch says: When Arthur Cunningham, a druggist, became intoxicated he desired to take a nap. He wandered about the streets a while and then climbed a stairway to the home of Miss Sadie Thompson. He opened a door without knocking and found he was in the bathroom. The tub looked inviting, so he crawled in and went to sleep. Later when Miss Thompson went to the bathroom and opened the door she screamed louder than a woman is supposed to when she finds a man under the bed. She telephoned to the police that there was a man in her bathtub. Two officers removed Cunningham from the tub and placed him in jail.

WILL GIVE WELCOME TO COLORADO TOURISTS

Mayor Spitler and Others to Drive Out Saturday to Meet Ocean'to Ocean Highway Boosters. They 7 are coming tomorrow. The schedule to which they are trying to conform is for the Pikes Peak Ocean and Ocean highway boosters to reach Rensselaer Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Mayor Spitler has undertaken a plan to have several auto loads of Rensselaer people meet the visitors between this city and Remington and pitat them to this city, where they wil be given the glad hand and told how perfectly delighted we are to have Colorado pay Indiana a visit and how pleased we will be to ha*ve the Ocean to Ocean highway pass through Rensselaer, bringing thousands and thousands of people through here during the auto season. BI Indianapolis the visitors were given a great welcome Thursday. Many auto loads of people went south to Danville, Ind., where they met the tourists. Danville was crowded with people who came into the town to see the visitors and flags were used in welcoming them. Rensselaer might well adopt this sort of program. Flags and penants should be used on the automobiles and flags could be profitably used in decorating business houses. Mayor Spitler will be glad to have all who care to go to meet the Visitors join in the parade. They should leave the court house by a quarter of 2 o’clock and proceed south until the pilot car of the visitors appears. The visitors are from Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. Just how many cars there are is not stated in The Indianapolis Star, but that is not a matter of great importance. They are coming on an important mission and as the development of great highways is to be an important thing within few years, we want to be right in line all the time and then we want to welcome these Colorado people with an enthusiasm thdt will be expressive of the pleasure we feel at their coming. Residents of Hie city should make it a point to come out on the street Saturday afternoon between 2 and 3 o’clock and show the interest that goes with a live city.

KEEP UP THE CHICKENS. Probably there is no one thing that causes more trouble than loose chickens. An old hen can tear up more garden and flower seed in a forenoon than an industrious person can plant in a week. The . Republican is thus appealed to by a taxpayer: i“To The Republican: “Will you kindly inform people through your columns to keep their chickens on their own premises? I think it a shame that this order cannot be enforced. There is no pleasj ure in trying to keep your . lawn in good shape when people have the liberty to violate 4 plans for beautifying.—-A Tax Payer.”

VAN RENSSELAER CLUB PLANS ADVANCEMENT

New Directors at Smoker Inaugurate Progressive Step—Club Now On a Sound Footing. - U The Van Rensselaer Club, composed of fiftey men in this community, plans taking an advanced step in its policy and the new directors at a meeting held Thursday evening, following' a “smoker” at the club quarters in the Shafer building, organized and discussed the affairs of the club. None of the new directors were pressent at the election meeting held several days ago, but they were informed that the members in selecting them had expressed the belief that they would adopt a progressive policy and do something to put the club on a more substantial footing and if possible secure better quarters and plan the purchase or building of a home for the club. Accepting the suggestion as representative of the unanimous feeling* of the membership the directors hope to institute a policy that will make the Van Rensselaer Club of much greater community importance than it has ever been before. While the plans are only in their insipiency, the directors are determined to proceed along the most aggressive lines and they hope to be able to make some announcements soon that will be of interest not only to club members but to the entire community. The Van Rensselaer Club has been limited to a membership of fifty and at this time has a number on the waiting list. It is probable that the new by-laws that are to be provided will increase the limit of membership. The club is chiefly social, but its aim is to promote any good thing for the community and it has aided in charitable affairs and stands ready to give the full vigor of its membership to any worthy project. That there is an important field of labor and that )y securing larger quarters its opportunities will increase and the value of membership be advanced is the conviction of its members and the new board of directors will do all in their power to bring about a realization of the hopes entertained since the club was organized. The directors are C. W. Hanley, W. J. Wright, C. M. Sands, Dr. I. M. Washbum and G. H. Healey. The board organized >y electing G. H. Healey chairman, W. J. Wright, vice-chairman, and C. M. Sands secretary. The president, treasurer and secretary of the club, will be chosen at a subsequent meeting.

Notice to the Public.

The grove opposite my home, near Brook, Indiana, is no longer open to the public or available for picnic parties except by special arrangement. Under no circumstances will Sunday picnics be permitted on any of the grounds at Hazelden. I am compelled to enclose the grove and deny admission to sight-seers because the crowds are swamping me and converting my home into a noisy public park.
