Cluster Lights Relegated To Rear at Indianapolis.

This is printed for the especial attention of The (Monticello Herald and residents of our neighboring town. Last year when Rensselaer installed the new boulevard lights The Monticello Herald spoke slightingly of our selection and boastfully of the cluster lights which had been installed in that city. The Indianapolis News of Thursday contained the following mention of the removal of cluster lights and the installation of the straight-pole lights on the down-town streets: have been issued by the board of public works for the removal of the ornamental cluster lights in the down-town streets. The board proposes to replace these with lights similar to those that have been placed in North Meridian street and in East Washington street under the street lighting contract with the Merchants Heat and Light Company. The lights that are to be placed by the board, under the street lighting contract, will have iron standards, surmounted by a single globe in which will be an incandescent light. These will be spaced the same as the cluster lights now in service. “The board’s order for new lights in the downtown district are for the following streets: Washington street, from White river to East street; Delaware street, from Massachusetts avenue to Sixteenth street; Massachusetts avenue, from Pennsylvania street to North street; Pennsylvania street, from Maryland to Ohio street; Ohio street, from Illinois to Pennsylvania street and Monument place. “Some of the territory mentioned is not now lighted with the cluster lights.”

100 Tourists Robbed In Yellowstone Park.

More than 100 tourists traveling in 12 stagecoaches through Yellowstone Park, were robbed Friday by one highwayman. At a heavily wooded place along the road about 15 miles from Yellowstone the lone man jumped into the road and commanded the second and succeeding coaches to halt. The people at first thought it a joke but the whole thing was changed when they were told to lay their valuables at the feet of the bandit. Owing to the fact that the tourists are not allowed to carry any kind of firearms there was no resistance and the bandit easily made his getaway.

100 WASPS FOR U. S. IN TWO YEARS

Naval Board to Ask Congress for 30 More Submarints in the Fall— To Be the Best of Them All. Washington, July 9.—The next building program for the U. S. navy will include estimates for nearly double th enumber of submarines appropriated for by the last session of congress. From officials in close touch with the administration’s plans for the navy it was learned tonight, that while the general board would wait until September before making its recommendations, at least thirty and probably more submarines certainly would be requested. The last congress in three sessions authorized 26 submarines and the U. S. now has a total of nearly 70 in commission or building. Within two years the total, it is estimated, may be-brought up to 100 undersea craft. •Secretary Daniels, it is understood, favors a large building program, believing that in the development of the efficiency of the submarine arm lies the most important task of the navy toddy.

ATTORNEYS IN WILL CASE GETS BIG FEE

$82,946.76 Allotted to Attorneys in the Famous Caldwell Case Tried in Benton Co. * Benton Review: The Caldwell will case took another step forward on Monday when the executors filed a petition to borrow money for the purpost of paying the lawyer fees in the first trial, which the court granted, limiting them to SBO,OOO and not -to exceed 7 per cent interest. The allowances made were as follows: Stewart, Hammond, Simms $34,550.00 Fraiser & Isham .23,141.88 Dr. Albert Sterns 5,000.00 Ryan, Ruckelhaus & Ryan.. 7,500.00 Lemuel Shipman 1,000.00 Grace D. Follensbee ... 1,000.00 J. L. Dinwidde 1,000.00 Krumler & Gaylord 250.00 Chas. M. Snyder 500.00 So far as the original case is concerned, the parties are now back where they started from, with the opinion of the supreme court that in a six weeks’ trial there was no evidence produced to justify the verdict given by the local jury that the will should be broken, in fact, there has never been anything but a technical attempt to prove her insane for the purpose of justifying the breaking of the will as a matter of public policy and community sentiment, so far as we have been able to learn the sentiment is not so strong now as at the time of the former trial.

NOT PLEASED WITH GERMAN ANSWER

German Note to U. S. Evades Real Question at.lssue—Will Not Protect Americans. Washington, July 9. —Arrival tonight of the press translation of the German note on the submarine campaign confirmed impressions which have been current in official quarters for several days that Germany would refuse to give the assurances asked for by the U. S- in her last note that the lives of traveling the high seas on unarmed ships of any nationality be not endangered. President Wilson, it is understood, will start back for Washington to consider the communication with his cabinet as soon as word is send him that it has reached here. The apparent restrictions placed by Germany on the use of American passenger ships which are to be given immunity from interference only if they do not carry contraband was regarded in many quarters as adding another to the many issues which have arisen over submarine warfare. Assumption of liability for the loss of Americans in the Lusitania tragedy was considered to have been wholly evaded by Germany and the chief principle for which the U. S. announced that it would omit ‘ no word or act” to see observed was viewed as having been lightly passed over. The general feeling that the note would be unsatisfactory and bring to a crisis the friendly relations that have existed between the U.<S. and Germany developed more strongly in official quarters as news of the contents of the note spread. What the course of the United States will be Is problematical. Many of those in official quarters who have been familiar with Germany’s proposals as outlined by Ambassador Gerard in the last few days, are in favor of an emphatic assertion by the American government that it intends to assert the rights which it holds under international law, placing upon Germany the responsibility for any future violation that may cause a breach in friendly relations. Many persons conversant with diplomatic precedents in the framing of notes believed that the next step of necessity would be an advance in the position of the U. S., for, having asked for assuamces and failed to receive them, the field for further negotiations had 'been considerably narrowed and now requires some assertion of right*.

Winamac Fireworks All Went Off at Once.

The Pulaski County Democrat has the following to say of the fireworks display in Winamac (Monday night after the celebration: Then camo the fireworks, most of which were unintentionally shot off all at once. They were being displayed from a platform on the wagon at the corner of Main and Market streets. The pieces were in boxes under the wagon, and were being taken out and handed to the men on the wagon as used. But some sparks fell into one of the boxes and for a few moments there were more fireworks than anybody cared for. Roman Candles chased people off the sidewalks; Skyrockets went whizzing down the pavement and the whole bunch was consumed in a few minutes.
