OPENING DAYS OF THE CHAUTAUQUA

Largo Crowds Attended Sunday Meetings and Were Much Pleased With Fine Programs. • Tonight’s Program. Musical Prelude—The Arcadians. Dramatic Recital—Jeannette Kling. Admission, 15 and 35 cents. Tuesday’s Program. Chautauqua. Afternoon—Concert, Brooks’ Symphony Orchestra; Lecture, Dr. E. L. Eaton. Admission, 15 and 35 cents. Children’s Hour, at the playground. Night—Grand instrumental program, Brooks’ Symphony Orchestra. Admission, 25 and 50 cents. The formal opening of the Lincoln Chautauqua, now at Rensselaer, took place Saturday afternoon before a splendid audience. The tent was well filled and a hearty welcome was giVen the beginning of the program, which proved to be excellent in every respect. During the first period of the afternoon the crowd was entertained by the Robley Male Quartette, which rendered an interesting and highly inspiring program. During the last period of the afternoon Dr.. Elmer Williams delivered an address on “Jawbone vs. Backbone. Dr. Williams went into his talk in an interesting and thoroughly logical way. Everyone was greatly impressed by this splendid talk. It was made plain >y the speaker that what we need in America is not jaybone but backbone. On Sunday afternoon the Schroedter quintet gave the musical part of the program, which was of the very highest order.

■The lecturer of the afternoon was Mrs. .Nannie Webb Curtis, of Texas, i Mrs. Curtis is a broad-minded, publicspirited woman, and in her address: “The Problem of the Women of the 20th Century,” she had a message for all. She especially emphasized the early training of the girl for home making and motherhood. Mrs. Curtis’ the consideration of any parent or deas along this line are well worth teacher. The speaker also condemned with all the vehemence of her speech the present code of double morals. Mrs. Curtis spoke quite extensively on the problem of woman suffrage during 'ier talk. Sunday evening the program consisted of a splendid collection of music '>y the Schroedter quintet. Their splendid performances were surely sufficient to prove to anyone present the high character of entertainment that the Lincoln chauauqua is bringing to us this year.

A Few Scraps. Constantinople was founded in 330 A. D. , Not a single passenger killed in a collision in the ladt quarter of 1914 is the record to which railways of this country are pointing. It is estimated that 230,500,000 fares were paid in that period. , Dust is everywhere, but the worst kind of dust is that which is confined within the four walls of a room. The dust is always germ-laden, because it is infested with edete matter thrown off by human bodies. When interviewing first became a feature of journalism in Great Britain, English leader writers denounced it as the most dreaded form which American impertinence had yet assumed. The Order of Fools was founded in 1331 by Adolphus, count of Cleves, for humane and charitable purposes. And some one has the temerity to declare it extinct. Experiments have shown that the Chinese wood oil tree, from the nut of which an <4l used in varnishes is obtained, can be successfully grown in northern Florida. For several months a Norwegian company has been successfully extracting copper from crude ore by an electrolytic process ’nverited by an engineer in that country. Electrically driven machines with which stamps can be attached to letters and packages at a rate of 400 a minute are being tested by the German postal authorities. CASH. We are forced to request our customers to pay cadh for coal. In no instance can we grant more than thirty days' credit It is absolutely impossible to handle the coal business on any other basis.

ANOTHER CHARGE FILED AGAINST GRAHAM

The Second Warrant Charges Embezzlement—Unsuccessful In Giving Bond. Saturday A. W. Graham, of Lafayette, who has been in jail the past two weeks on the charge of running a bucket shop, expected to secure his liberty on bail and had made arrangements with a /Lafayette party to furnish same, E. P. Honan, his local attorney, to sign same to make it good here. He waived bearing before Squire Spitler and was bound over to the circuit court in the sum of SSOO for his appearance at the September term of court. He was at once rearrested on the charge of embezzlement preferred by W. W; Hill, and a similar action was taken on this_ charge. The party who was to furnish the bond came up from Lafayette on the afternoon train but when Mr. Honan found that his property was held jointly by himself and wife he refused to sign it and Graham is still in jail. When first arrested Graham wired an attorney in Chicago who had been representing him while in hiding, and pending his arrival here he made no demand for a hearing. The attorney failed to show up and it was not until Saturday when he thought that he could furnish bail that Graham askei for a hearing.

Former Rensselaer Resident To Go On Lecture Platform.

S. U. Dobbins, of Reynolds, and formerly of this city, has decided to go on the lecture platform. Since leaving Rensselaer Mr. Dobbins lived St Monticello for several years, serving as sheriff of white county, and having the distinction of being the first sheriff to have an office in the present court house. Since moving to Reynolds Mr. Dobbins has become afflicted with an eye trouble that has rendered him almost totally blind, and during a visit to Monticello was only able to recognize old friends by their voices. The Monticello Journal has the following to say in regard to Mr. Dobbins going on the lecture platform: “Necessity being the mother of invention, or rather the effort on the part of Mr. Dobbins, he is going to put his time to good account by going on the lecture platform. He had one lecture entitled “From the Cradle to the Jail,” which he has already delivered several times, and is preparing another that will depict the horrors of morphine and will be a warning to those who have never tampered with it. Mr. Dobbins confesses that for a couple of years, on account of his great bodily pain, morphine was his daily food, and he will speak of the baneful drug as ‘one who has made its acquaintance.”

A picnic dinner was given Sunday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Grant, of NeWton township, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ralston and Mrs. Ralston’s mother, Mrs. Morlan, of Kalamazoo, Mich. They are relatives of the Grants, Morlans and others here and relatives to the number of 22 partook of the dinner. They drove through from Kalamazoo in their automobile and this morning left for their home. They will stop over in Crown Point tonight, and tomorrow will finish their trip home.

GERMANS TORPEDO LINER HESPERIAN

Steamer Remains Afloat and Rescue Ships Pick Up Survivors From , Boats—Americans Aboard. The Allan line steamship, Hesperian, was torpedoed by a German submarine at 8:20 o’clock Saturday night off the coast of Ireland, 100 miles southwest of Fastnet. Approximately 350 passengers were on board, one or two of them Americans. All were saved, according to the latest report issued by the Allan line. It is reported, however, that eight members of the crew were killed. The steamer did not sink and was reported proceeding, under convoy, to Queenstown, where all of the passengers and surviving crew were taken by rescue steamers, summoned by wireless calls for help. Passengers landed at Queenstown asserted that the attack was without warning. The U. S. embassy there had not yet received any information on this point. The attack upon the Hesperian came just as darkness was falling. The torpedo struck her forward of the engine room, tearing away the forward part ,so that wster rubhed into the forward compartments.

Mr. Jones Gives His Side of the Story.

G. C. Jones, of Lee, was in town Monday and gave his side of a story that appeared in a recent issue of The Republican. The article in question stated that a thrashing ring in Newton township had discharged him on account of the delays caused by the alleged condition of his machine and his failure to have it repaired. T At the time Mr. Jones was thrashing on the Carr brothers’ farm, he says that the Carrs told him to set the machine where he pleased but that after the machine was set, a son-n-laiw of Art Arnott, who had an interest in the grain, told him that the machine must be set in another place, but as this would have meant to set against the wind, which was very strong at the time, Jones refused to do so, as it would have been impossible to have thrashed against the wind then prevailing. Mr. Jones says his machine was in perfect condition and cites as proof of his assertion that he thrashed 5,526 bushels of grain in less than 4% days, an average of 1,375 budhels per day, and much of the grain at that time was very bad, some of it being hauled out of the water diredt to the machine.

Peace Advocates Applaud Attack On Hesperian.

Announcement of the torpedoing of the Hesperian by a German submarine was received by the peace advocates. President Wilson was criticised, the English press in the United States was branded as trying to embroil the nation in war, and steel and money interests were denounced bitterly for the same reason at the opening of the national convention of the Friends of Peace atMedinah Temple Sunday afternoon. There were about 2,000 at the meeting. Danger of a break between Germany and the United States had not yet passed, it is asserted. Just before the meeting adjourned Henry Weissmann, of New York, arose and said that he had Just been handed an Associated Press dispatch which verified his suspicions that newspaper reports that the United States government had just won a great diplomatic vicory in the controversy with Germany was untrue. There was a scattering of applause throughout the house and even a few cheers.

Democratic Newspapers Oppose Campaign of Mayor Johnson.

Crown Point Register. That Mayor R. O. Johnson, of Gary, is making considerable progress in his campaign for governor, is evidenced by the vigor with which dome of the democratic editors of the state are attacking his candidacy Tbe Indianapolis papers failed to notice Johnson’s candidacy at first, andla studied effort was made to ignore the Gary man. Even Billy Blodgett, of the Indianapolis News, in his write-up of the Harrison Club picnic at c^ r Lake, forgot to mention Johnson. The recent tour of the Gary man over the state has made them all sit up to take notice, however, and both democrats and reptfbliians are beginning to realize, what Gary knew all the time, that JdhnSon’s candidacy must be taken into consideration when picking out thepossible winners. The democrats are fearful of his winning, as they remember what he did to Ton Knotts in the Gary city election, and they feel sure that he will do the same thing to their state ticket. And by he way, Johnson /was not So well known in Gary at the time of the city election as he is in the whole state now. . _ ...

President Kurrie Collides With New Street Light Post.

Rensselaer is shy one of the new light posts recently installed on the main streets. H. R. Kurrie, of the Monon, crashed into the post with his automobile Saturday evening, completly demolishing it. Mr. Kurrie was returning from the depot to his home Saturday evening during the heavy rain, and the wind shield became covered with water, making it impossible for him to see very well. He turned west at McFarland’s corner—except that he missed the corner—and turned so abruptly that he crashed into the lamp post. The port gave way and fell to the ground, wrecking it beyond all repair. The radiator of Mr. Kurrie’s machine was cracked, but no other damage resulted. (Mr. Kurrie stated that he had always been told that the proper thing to do after an accident was to "beat it,” and this is what he did in this case. He appeared later, however, and agreed to buy the city a new lamp post

What Neighboring Town Thinks About Mail Order Catalogues.

Monticello Journal. Monon train No. 33, from the north, due here at 2:40, was delayed for a considerable time after arrival here yesterday afternoon while the postal clerics unloaded some forty-five sacks of mail order catalogues. Fcrty-two of the sacks were for this place. It is. unnecessary to add anything to the mere announcement of the arrival of that bunch of mail and the kind of mail it was, except to say that the same thing is transpiring all over the country. But it certainly wasn’t a very nice spectacle to see that quantity of local business highwaymen piling off that train. And appropos of the subject we may add that here is another job for J. G. Gustavel, who seems to be able to meet the mail order houses on their own terms and fight them at their own game. And if Louie can succeed in counteracting the baneful effect of even any portion of those forty-three sacks of catalogues he hope he will go to it.
