CHAUTAUQUA STARTS NEXT SATURDAY

Third Visit of Lincoln Chautauqua Looked Forward To With Pleasant Anticipation. The third annual visit of the Lincoln Chautauqua will begin next Saturday, Sept. 4th, and continue for six days. A splendid array of talent will visit our city and Milroy Park will be the social center during their visit. In addition to the talent provided for the grown-ups there will be daily sessions for the juniors. This will be a sort of playground event and will be in charge of Miss Co'rinne Landgraf, who will have a local assistant. The hours set for the junior program are from 8 to 11 each morning, but since school begins next Monday, it is probable that other arrangements will have to be made and it is probable that each daily session will be from 3 to 5 in the afternoon, but an announcement will be made about this later. Miss Landgraf has written to those who are interested in the junior work here asking that all the children of the town attend a meeting to be held Friday afternoon of this week from 4:30 to 6 o'clock. Their parents are asked to attend with them and are assured that they will find the features provided for child entertainment and instruction of great interest. One feature of the Friday program will be a ticket search. Tickets are to be hidden and the children are to look for them and the successful hunters vfill be given season tickets for the junior work. The price of the junior season tickets is $1 and it is expected to enroll a large number of boys and girls. All should take advantage of the free meeting Friday from 4:30 to 6. On Saturday the formal opening occurs. The Robley male quartette will sing and Dr. Elmer L. Williams will deliver his lecture “Jawbone vs. Backbone.” At night there will be a concert by the male quartette and another lecture from Dr. Williams, whose subject will be “Who Shall Rule, Country or City?” Those who have season tickets can go to all sessions, but those who do not will have to pay admissions ranging from 25 to 50 cents per session. On Sunday the program,will be made in keeping with the day and vesper services will be held in the evening. Rensselaer seems to be in thorough readiness for the chautauqua and doubtless it will be accorded as large an attendance as in former years, while the junior feature is sure to attract a great deal of interest.

Indianapolis Man Will Be Head of Rumley Plant.

At the conclusion of a conference of various committees of the Rumley plant in New York Saturday it was announced that Finley P. Mount, of Indianapolis, had been named president. J. H. Guy was retained as vice president and general manager. The meeting of the different committees was held for the purpose of discussing the proposed reorganization. The holders of outstanding notes as well as the holders of stock, claims and other debts, are in favor of the reorganization scheme. It is said that this will also stimulate the sale of stock which is very light at present. ■s 1 - Nineteen sixteen Model Maxwell touring car $656; self-starter and all modern; at the Main Garage.

FROST TONIGHT IS WEATHER FORECAST

Coo] Weather to Culminate in Frost According to the Predict km of Weatherman. “Br-r-r.” That is the way people you met on the street early this morning were going and the weatherman don't propose to let up until he makes everyone wonder where their summer wages have gone. For tonight he forecasts “frost.” Just what sort of a frost he has in mind he does not go into details to say, but the mere suggestion is enough, and enough is too much. A frost of killing strength would do many, many thousands of dollars worth of damage in Jasper county for it is probable that not a field of corn is far enough along to mature. It would' be the greatest disaster that ever occurred in Jasper county. August has been a cold month and corn has not developed but has continued ta grow and with a chance to mature we will still have a great crop, notwithstanding the fact that many acres were drowned out. It is the high and dry land that has been favored this year. But a frost any time in the next four or five weeks will do much damage and now it would be disastrous, but the weatherman says it is coming and we can only wait and see.

Expects to Start Machine Shop Here in Few Months.

Frank L. Hamilton, son-in-law of W. L. Bott, who worked here for several months at the Central Garage, left Sunday for Wilkesburg, a suburb of Pittsburg, to take charge of an automobile machine shop. He expects to open up a modern machine shop here, specializing in automobile repairs. Mr. Bott and he tried to find a building in which to start at this time but nothing could be found and they decided to wait until a little later. Mr. Hamilton is a skilled mechanic and the rapid development of the motor business will result in the establishment of many more garages as time goes on and Rensselaer will probably have at least two new garages within the next twelve months; as Chas. W. Rhoades and son Kenneth, who have been doing auto repair work in connection with the if electrical work, expect to erect a garage and equip it with mdaem machinery.

Militia Case Taken to State Supreme Court.

Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 28.—Whether a military court or the civil courts have jurisdiction, over tlfe Indiana National Guard was .today before the state supreme court for decision, an appeal from the ruling of Acting Judge A. J. Wood, of the circuit court, which gave the power to the civil courts, having been taken here late last night. The case will be made a test case, because of its importance in maintaining the discipline -of the militia. George Mowery, of Co. H, of the Indiana National Guard of this city, was Sentenced to eight days in jail for Willful disobedience in refusing to attend the camp of instruction at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Judge Wood last night granted a writ of habeas corpus, upsetting the ruling of the military court and placing the civil court over the National Guard court. He then granted the appeal to the state supreme court.

GRAHAM ARRESTED AND BROUGHT HERE

Man Who Conducted Lafayette Grain Office to Face Charges Brought By W. W. Hill. Arthur W. Graham, of Lafayette, is in jail in Rensselaer, where he is to face charges brought against him by W. W. Hill and Frank Hoover. Graham conducted a grain office or bucket shop in Lafayette and had a branch in this city in charge of W. W. Hill. Last May when wheat broke sharply Graham closed his Lafayette office and he owed Hill and Hoover considerable money, according to their charge. Hill is said to have lost almost $3,000. He has continued to live in Rensselaer and to look for Graham, who has been dodging about the country, according to Hill. Hill went to Chicago in search of Graham, and had himself deputized as a constable. Two policemen arrested Hill as a suspicious character and beat him up severely. This did not serve, however, to make him quit his search for Graham and the services of Sheriff McColly were secured and he made several trips, all of which proved fruitless. Saturday Graham was arrested in Lafayette by Detective Weinhart and Sheriff McColly went there and brought him to Rensselaer Saturday evening. One affidavit charges him with running a “bucketshop” and another alleges embezzlement. Graham claims that his was a game of chance and that he lost every thing he had. If this is the case it is doubtful if the local losers can get anything and there may be some doubt as to whether Graham can be successfully prosecuted.

CIRCUS COMES WITH RISING SUN

Gentry Brothers Trains Will Arrive Here Early In the Morning On Thursday, September 2nd. The first section of the trains bringing Gentry Brothers famous shows will arrive in this city Thursday, Sept. 2, at 6 o'clock in the morning. Arrangements are made for track room for the trains, that are today twice as large as ever before. With the stopping of the first wheel a host of showmen will tumble forth from their berths, refreshed by a night's sleep. Almost before the earliest riser is astir the show lots will be transformed into a city of canvas coliseums. To the casual observer this will be accomplished in great disorder. But the training of the circus is such that no man makes an unnecessary move or wastes energy. At 10 o'clock the famous parade of the Gentry Brothers Famous Shows will leave the grounds. It will traverse the principal streets, presenting to old and young alike their nearest dream of fairyland. The Gentry Brothers Shows, which are the world’s pioneers in trained animal exhibitions, have been so enlarged that they now present the realistic taming leopards of the jungle and other ferocious beasts within canvas coliseums. A large portion of the youth of the community will welcome the trains on arrival, because this feature appeals to both old and young. Gentry Brothers Famous Shows will give two exhibitions in this city Thursday, Sept. 2. These displays will be upon a larger and grander scale than ever before in the three decades of Gentry Brothers career.

Many thrashing machines operated yesterday and the elevators kept open and received the grain. The damage to wheat continues to show up extensively and the price now -quoted varies from 70 to 90 cents. Oats have taken a drop and are today quoted at 28 cents.

OFFICIALS OF CROWN POINT VISITED HERE

Came to Inspect Fire Department and See Town With Trees On Two Sides of Court House. Mayor Kvost, of Crown Point, accompanied by the members of the city council, the chief of the fire department, the eity attorney, the city clerk, the city engineer and three or four citizens, came to Rensselaer Sunday and inspected our fire department and our . light and water plant, gave the city the “once over”, had a spread at the expense of the Rensselaer officials at the Makeever hotel, satisfied themselves that there are trees on two sides of our county house and expressed themselves as well pleased with everything they saw. The visit had been planned several days before and Mayor Spitler and Fire Chief Montgomery had arranged for their reception. The chief purpose of the visit was to ascertain what kind of a fire fighting equipment we had here and this was displayed by Fire Chief Montgomery. The method of signaling the fire plug number and of giving the alarm was also explained. They expressed their full approval of the system used here, and it -is probable that Crown Point will adopt a somewhat similar one. The visitors were: Mayor E. A. Kvost, Councilmen D. W. Vincent, Cyrus Hayden, Clyde W. Allman and H. E. Jones, Fire Chief Fred G. Hoffman, City Clerk Lowell V. Parry, City Attorney Martin J. Smith, City Engineer T. L. Knight, Citizens Geo. Hayden, C. D. Robbins, Wm. J. Knopt, Albert J. Meyer and Fred Wheeler. The latter is the editor of the Crown Point Star, who has maintained that there are trees on only one side of our court house It is presumed that he wanted to justify his contention before the officials of Crown Point. Our fire department is all right and is in mighty good hands, and it has been demonstrated a number of times that the fire team should not be permitted to leave Jhe business district. The case of the Thos. Crockett fire last Saturday proved the value of having the team at the engine house. A bad fire was averted by prompt action, while a delay of a few minutes might have resulted in a big loss. Mayor Spitler, City Attorney Leopold, Councilman King, City Clerk Morlan and Fire Chief Montgomery dined with the visitors at the Makeever hotel.
