Excellent Lyceum Course Arranged For This Winter.

The committee representing the different churches has selected a splendid program for this season through the Redpath Bureau. The first and biggest number will be presented Friday evening, Nov. sth, by the Old Colonial Band. This band of twelve musicians, with E. Carmeling, at one time cornet soloist with Liberati’s. band, as director, comprises something entirely new in the way of a lyceum attraction. As a part of their program they will present a musical novelty known as “The Spirit of ’76.” The costuming is true to the days portrayed and is elaborate. The next number on Jan. 19, is Ralph Bingham, impersonator, humorist, violinist and vocalist. This number is not a lecture but an intellectual diversion, inducing pleasure and delight, provoking mirth, merriment and laughter. Mr. Bingham’s success as an individual entertainer is shown by the fact that this is his thirty-seventh annual tour. On Jan. 28, Chief Tahan (Rev. Joseph K. Griffis) will present in his lecture on “Things I Saw and Did While a Savage,” one of the best life stories ever told by a human being. And not only has it an educational value, but it carries a moral and religious message. . William Rainey Bennett comes to us on Feb. 15, highly recommended. Dr. Bennett, like most men who make good, was raised on a farm. He worked his way through college, starting in with ten dollars. He graduated with money in his pocket, having paid his way by singing. His entertainment is a series of song, story and solid substance, mingled with the touch of the master. The last number, March 29, will be given by three talented young ladies known as the Columbian Entertainers. Miss Ailene Pettit, violinist and accompanist; Miss Grace Harris, soprano and Miss Jean Williams, reader and accompanist, have all had experience in the lyceum world. Their program, consisting of both vocal and instrumental solos, readings and ensemble numbers, has never failed to please and satisfy their audiences. The churches of Rensselaer have procured this excellent course at great expense and no one should miss the opportunity of receiving the benefits of the course which is thought to be the best ever brought to this city.

FINE GOLD MEDALS FOR PISTOL FIRING

Lieutenant Jerry B. Garland Returns From the National Matches Held At Jacksonville, Florida. First Lieutenant Jerry B. Garland returned Thursday afternoon from the matches held for the promotion of rifle and pistol firing efficiency at Jacksonville, Fla. The matches are held toy the government each year and fifteen of the best rifle and pistol marksmen of the U. S. infantry, and similar teams from the cavalry, the marine corps and each state in .the union are brought together for practice and competitive matches. Lieutenant Garland went as a member of the Indiana team, this being the fourth time he has represented the state in the national matches. Two years ago he was fourth in the national individual rifle match and high man on the Indiana team in the national -earn match. This year he won the distinguished honor of winning the national pistol match, defeating all of the 191 entries, including some of the best pistol marksmen in the world. Among the competitors was a man named Lane, of the New York Athletic Club, who has been one of the best pistol marksmen in the country and who has attended matches in all parts of the United States. Mr. Lane was fourth in the match with a total of 695 or 26 below Lieutenant Garland’s fine score. Lieutenant Garland received two fine gold medals, each valued at S3O, and $45 in cash for the pistol match and also another fine medal for being on the rifle team of the third regiment which won third position in the regimental team match in which theje were about forty entries. He also won other prize money, totaling $71.50. He was a little off in rifle firing at the long ranges this year, owing, he thinks, to a slight defect in his eyes which he expects to have corrected with glasses. In the individual rifle match this year there were 551 entries and he fell to the 130th place. He got away with a bad start at the 200 yard range at which he almost always gets a near perfect score. At the intermediate ranges he shot in good form and then fell down at the thousand yard range, making a total of only 60 out of 75. He had a fine trip, the state providing Pullman accommodations down and back. He stopped off a day at terest and then stopped for a few Chattanooga and visited places of indays with friends in the southern part of the state. Lieutenant Garland now has a large number of medals won in the various state and national matches in the past few years and military custom requires that they be worn on the chest at all ceremonial occasions. He received this week a letter of congratulations from his colonel, Aubrey L. Kohlman, of Auburn. * It is possible that Lieutenant Garland will consent to the medals being placed on exhibition in some store window in Rensselaer for a day or two. He has won national distinction in both rifle and pistol firing and his many Rensselaer friends are giving him hearty congratulations. £}everaj years ago Mr. Garland was attracted by a newspaper article stating that Company M, of Rensselaer, was in need of recruits. He appeared at the armory, was examined, enlisted and at once became deeply interested in acquiring military instruction. His faithfulness and efficiency soon resulted in his promotion to corporal and he then advanced as vacancies occurred to sergeant, first sergeant, second lieutenant and first lieutenant. With all his success he is still just “Jerry” to all who know him and modestly says: “Oh’ I guess it was jurft a little luck.”

HIP IS BROKEN IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Glenn Washburn Receives Serious Injury When Car Turns Over the Second Time in One Night. Fowler, Ind., Oct. 28.—While returning from a dance at Dunnington last night the auto driven by Glenn Washburn, ran into a shallow ditch and turned over on its side. Washburn and Matt Thornton, who was also in the machine, were thrown out but unhurt. The car was righted and they started home. When within three miles of Fowler the car became unmanageable and again ran into the ditch. It is thought that the car turned over once, for both boys were thrown out and the car was standing upright, but badly damaged. Washbum’s right hip was cracked and Thornton has a bad cut on the forehead. Clarence Bonwell who was following the Washburn machine, picked up the two boys and brought them home. Dr. Mavity was called to the Washburn home to set the hip bone. Thornton is able to return to work at the board of trade rooms this morning, where he is telegraph operator. It is thought the second accident was due to a bent steering gear, caused by the first turn over. Calliner cards at The Republican.

MOTOR SERVICE CO. IS NEW CONCERN

Mark Schroer, Hugh Kirk and Charles Carroll Combine Under the Above Name. Mark Schroer, who for several months has conducted a garage just east of The Republican office; Hugh Kirk, who has been an auto driver and repair man for a number of years, and Charles Carroll, who recently came to this city and has established a name as an expert auto machinist, have formed a partnership and will do business under the name of the Motor Service Co. It is the expectation to materially enlarge the business which Mr. Schroer has successfully conducted and to make an aggresive campaign for business. That this firm will be heard from in the future as one of the big auto concerns of this city is a safe conclusion. Mr. and Mrs. Carter Moore, of Frankfort, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Haskell and today all are visiting Mrs. Elizabeth Gwin at Pleasant Ridge.
