The United States district court at Buffalo has handed down a decision that the Eastman Kodak company is in restraint of trade and its monopoly has constituted a violation of the Sherman antitrust law. This prosecution is expected to have a great effect in reducing the high cost of living, one of the pledges of the democratic party. The rain forecasted for the past day or two has fortunately kept away and today is the fourth fairly bright day. Thrashing machines are humming throughout the county and all are hoping for many more rainless days. The wheat that is being marketed is grading so poorly that the local grain merchants are compelled to show a price variation from 75 to 90 cents. It is said that some of the grain brought in has long green sprouts and that several grains are often stuck together by the fibers. Miss Alpha Branblett, of Indianapolis, is visiting Mrs. George W. Hopkins and a picnic supper in her honor was given Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Hopkins, the guests being the girls of “the bunch,” who all attended the performance of the Cor-nell-Price Players at the Ellis theatre in the evening.

Charles M. Blue Gets State License On July Examination.

Charles M. Blue, one of the Jasper county teachers who had failed for a number of months to procure a teachers’ license, sent his July papers to the state superintendent and Tuesday received his grades which entitle him to a year's license. The Republican suggests that trustees of Jasper county employ Jasper county teachers wherever possible, thus overcoming as much as possible the fact that so many outside teachers are brought here to teach. It means everything that is embodied in home patronage, for the money thus disbursed by the trustees is expended right at home instead of being taken away and spent at other places. Trustees should, in fact, hold schools open for home teachers until after the last examination has disclosed that they have failed to secure passing grades.

Gave Breakfast For Coming Bride at 9 Tuesday Morning.

Miss Muriel Harris was hostess Tuesday morning at a delightful 9 o’clock breakfast given in honor of Miss Anna Hartley, whose approaching marriage was recently announced.

Hartley, and the following young ladies: Misses Florence and Aileen Allman, Esther Padgitt, Nell Meyers, Alice Coen, Gertrude Jackson, Maurine Tuteur and Cora Bruner. The breakfast was served in three courses. At its conclusion five hundred was played by the guests.

Ellis Theatre.

The Comeli-Price Players presented “The Sixth Commandment” last night to a well-pleased audience and continue their engagement tonight by presenting the society comedy drama “Sins of the Mother,” with all new vaudeville between the acts, including another comedy quartette. Owing to the band concert the performance will not begin until 9 p. m. Much interest is manifested in the production of the great white slave play “The Traffic,” which is to be presented on Thursday. No children under sixteen will be admitted to this performance unless accompanied by their parents or guardian. Owing to the high royalty required to present this play, the prices for “The Traffic” will be 25, 35 and 50 cents. Seats for this performance may be reserved now.—Adv.

Arms For Mexico.

Indianapolis Star. The disclosures made by the correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, who has been investigating conditions in Mexico for that paper, show a strange state of affairs in connection with the shipping of arms into that country. It is a condition that is nothing less than scandalous and the administration is shown to be encouraging, a traffic that not only permits bloodshed to go on among the natives but provides them with weapons to be used against our own soldiers. When Mr. Wilson became President an embargo established by President Taft against the shipment of arms into Mexico was in operation. It was vigorously enforced all along the border, United States district attorneys, without fear or favor, prosecuting American shippers who tried to smuggle the contraband goods across the line. This embargo had effectually checked an anti-Madero revolution engineered by Orozco in Chihuahua.

A very short time after the change of administration the United States supreme court declared the joint congressional resolution authorizing Taft to declare the embargo to be legal. About the same time a Hucson grand jury indicted a big eastern copper company for selling cartridges to Villa agents. The district attorney notified the legal department of the government of this, adding the statement that he expected the indictment of a certain other firm. Promptly came a telegram from Mcßeynolds saying that indictment of last named firm was of doubtful propriety as it had voluntarily notified department of its shipments of ammunition. In the end all the indictments were quashed, contrary to the wishes of the district attorney. In the course of a few months Arizona and Texas district attorneys appointed by Taft made way for others who took no interest in enforcing the embargo and even before the latter was formally lifted by Wilson the traffic in arms went on almost unrestricted. Since the embargo was removed ,of course, the Mexican factions have received all the munitions they could pay for and because of this they have been enabled to carry on the bloody conflict While our troops occupied Vera Cruz the - administration permitted the unloading at Tampico of 3,000,000 rounds of cartridges and in July just past, on the very day when President Wilson hinted at intervention, a million cartridges are said to have gone to Villa by way of El Paso. Our soldiers are said to be very bitter over this aid to an enemy that they have confronted and may have to face in a more extensive way. A very small percentage of the marine who were at Vera Crus and whose time has expired have re-enlisted. Their belief in this country has weakened, and who can wonder?

First Fine He Laid and Second Half He Paid.

“Billy” Martin, self-touted as a jockey and all-around sport, was released from jail today after having laid out one of the two fines imposed after he had cut some high didoes in Newton county, where he has been living. Billy went it fifty-fifty with the authorities. He was fined on two counts, one for intoxication and the other for assault and battery. Each fine totaled $17.55* Billy laid out the first half and the first of this week produced the pelf and paid the second fine.

A previous news item told of Billy's difficulties. He took a stimulent and then went to call on his lady friend. Just what brand of bravado juice he imbibed is not known but it caused him to forget all masculine chivalry and to resort to race track tactics while paying court to his sweetheart and at some stage of the game instead of using oratory to carry his point he landed with his ungloved phalanges on the side of his girl’s face. The constable and justice of the peace did the rest and when Billy came to his full senses he was boarding with Sheriff McColly and had a headache. It is hoped that the double dose of the law will have the effect of reforming Billy and that when he goes courting again he drinks nothing stronger than a Bryan cocktail and depends solely upon his powers of articulation as a means of converting his lady friends to his line of thought.

Should Get Busy With Sink Hole Road Near Virgie.

Jasper county is disgraced by two miles of road just north of Virgie. During the past few weeks it has been almost impassable and many tourists have been stuck in the mudholes and have been pulled out by teams of horses. The condition of the road, which was on the route proposed for the Dixie highway, is deplorable, and tourists are being told about it all over the country and they are missing it and missing Rensselaer. Tuesday a tourist with his family was stuck in the mud at that spot. In trying to get out one of the children fell from the machine and another struck her face on a part of the car and severely cut her lip. Finally they were pulled out of the mud by a team. They came to Rensselaer, where the girl's cut lip was treated by Dr. English. While the proposition of building roads for tourists does not seem right, on the other hand, it is a pity to have a strip of only two miles give a black eye to a county with 210 miles of improved county highway. A petition for this road improvement should be circulated without delay.

Drawing For Tennis Finals To Be Held Tonight.

The final drawing for those in the tennis tournament will be held at the Makeever House tonight at 7:30. All those interested should be present. Those who will play in the finals will be Washburn, Parks, Waymire, Dean, Babcock, Healey and Spitler or Clarke. Probably a large number of spectators will watch these last matches and see the players who are to represent Rensselaer in the match with Chalmers. The schedule of games will be in the windows at Long’s and Fendig’s drug stores as soon as arranged. Yesterday morning in three slow sets Dr. Washburn won from B. F. Fendig 8-6, 2-6 and 6-4. C. R. Dean won from Elvyn Allman in three fast sets 1-6, 6-1 and 6-2. Lloyd Parks won from Ed Robinson in straight sets 8-6 and 6-1. This afternoon Harry English won from James Warner in two sets, 6-4 and 6-2.

Troop B, Fifth Cavalry, Reached Army Post Tuesday.

Troop B, of the sth U. B. cavalry, which passed through Rensselaer Wednesday of last week, reached Fort Benjamin Harrison Tuesday and went into camp. They will instruct a squadron of Ohio National Guard cavalry and remain for the “War in Indiana” spectacle at the speedway on Sept. 6th. First Sergeant Byington, of the troop, who had been made very sick by eating “fly” fungus by mistake for mushrooms while at Frankfort, was pronounced out of danger Tuesday and was to join the troop at the post Thursday. The Indianapolis Star in describing the troop said it was a “symphony in brown,” with brown tents, brown men, brown horses, brown mules, brown transport wagons and even brown corned beef hash for supper, with just a dash of scarlet in the troop flag.

Election Cheaters Denied Parole By Federal Board.

The Terre Haute election cheaters who are serving penitentiary terms at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., have been denied a parole by the federal board. They brought their appeal up by the strongest possible political influences but there was nothing doing for Donn Roberts, et al, and the “gang” will continue to do stunts in the federal prison for a time at least.

Remember, your twine and repair account is due September Ist. Please take care of it promptly. HAMILTON & KELLNER. Don't put off advertising anything try out classified column.

Mrs. Mary E. Rockhold In Important Rescue Work.

Mrs. Mary E. Rockhold, sister of Mrs. Louie Ramp and Mrs. Ralph Donnelly, is identified with an important rescue work in Chicago known as the New Future Association, the object of which is to rescue women from lives of sin and crime and start them on the road to honest living and secure for them employment away from temptation. It is non-sectarian and no special religion is allowed to be taught but where the persons who come under its influence given every moral and material aid to enable them to get a new start in life. In a brief letter from Mrs. Rockhold to The Republican she writes': "Encouraged by the success of the aPrting of the Ways Home, which cares for men upon their release from jails and prisons, the News Future Asgociaton aims to make good women of those who have slipped and fallen either through ignorance or weakness. An average of five girls are released from the House of Correction, commonly called the Bridewell, every day, with only 5 cents car fare. Igo to the Bridewell every day for girls. This morning I brought a woman home who had been in the Bridewell six months for drunkenness. Most of the women have been in either for drunkenness or because they are dope fiends. It is pitiable to hear the stories some have to tell and I am glad that I aifi able in my small way to help these poor and often misguided sinners back to the right road.”

RYAN DITCH.

There was a meeting of a number of the petitioners for the Ryan Ditch at the law office of George A. Williams in Rensselaer, last Saturday. It was the opinion of those present to fight for the RYAN DITCH to a finish. THE RYAN DITCH is not dead, as has been circulated, but will come up for hearing at the coming September term of court. All those who were or are in favor of this proceeding should stand by the same and not sign any petition which would tend to defeat or delay the same. THE RYAN DITCH can be established this fall and construction work begun by next spring if there be no serious litigation. WILLIAMS and FOLTZ, Attorneys for Petitioners.
