Glenn Baker Witnessed Parade of Wets in Chicago.

Glenn Baker returned home • this Monday morning from Chicago, where he had gone Saturday after a visit with his sister at Pontiac, 111., and after spending two or three days at other places. Glenn stood for three hours and watched the wet parade, the pageant planned and carried out by the saloon and brewery interests as a protest against the order of Mayor Thompson for law enforcement. The Tribune says there were 44,155 persons in the parade. It was the largest and most spectacular street parade that ever took place in Chicago. It waq three times as large as Mayor Thompson’s prosperity parade on the date of his inauguration and more than five times as large as the recent dry parade. It was a remarkable parade from the fact that it was largely composed of foreigners, thirty nationalities being represented. There were mottoes and banners in every tongue. "Home Rule and Personal Liberty” was the consensus of the banner and the bands played “Tipperary” and “Die Wacht Am Rhein” and forgot the differences across the ocean in their united demand for wideopen saloons. Mayor Thompson says that it is now a fight to the finish with the wet forces and he describes their parade as “anarchistic.” Strong as the forces that marched beneath wet .and law violation banners seem, the mayor is determined to carry out his oath of‘law enforcement and he accepts the challenge of the wets with the spirit, of a good fighter.

HALLOWE’EN PRANKS VICIOUS AT WINAMAC

Pulaski County Democrat Describes Placing of Cow In School Hoilse and Other Stunts.

The Pulaski County Democrat tells of the manner in which youths in that town celebraTed Hallowe’en. The Democrat says: “The meanest, dirtiest, most contemptible trick ever pulled off in Winamac under the guise of “Hallowe’en jokes” was that perpetrated by a gang of youngsters who put a cow in the new high school building Monday night. “To add to the insult> practically all of the books were taken from the desks in the assembly room and piled up or strewn about the floor, where the cow, in her frightened maneuvers, could trample and besmear them. Her natural actions left the room in such condition that no high school could be held Tuesday forenoon, and damaged books to such an extent that the total cost of their replacement will run well into money—estimates vary from $lO to SIOO. The cow belonged to J. H. Weaver and it is charged that she was severely mistreated in the perpetration of the ‘joke.’ It took considerable urging to get her up the steps and into the building, and it is further charged that the animal was given salts or some physic in an effort to increase the amount of damage that she could do. Fortunately this, if it was really given, failed to take effect until next day. “The action has aroused a greater storm of indignation in Winamac than has ever been awakened in the town over a Hallowe’en affair. From practically every side come words of condemnation for the youngtsers’ lack of appreciation of the new $20,000 building and frequent expressions are heard to the effect that ‘it’s time to stop these Hallowe’en depredations in Winamac.* ‘Yesterday a board of inquiry, composed of members of the school board, Prosecutor Dilts and others, held an examination to determine who was resopnsible for the shameful debauchery. It was entirely successful. A complete list of the lads who took part was secured —about fifteen of them. Three of them are not school boys at present, but have been in former years. The others are all high school boys, except perhaps one or two from the grades. All except two of the ‘outsiders’ were examined by the board, and all admitted their guilt. And their confessions left no doubt as to the identity of the outsiders.”

Chicagoans Pay Rents and Grocer Since Sunday Closing.

Sunday was the fifth dry one in Chicago. It was not altogether dry but somewhat improved over the wideopen Sundays of the past. It is now possible to go to a restaurant on Saturday and pay for a few drinks and then go in Sunday to have them served. There are some other plans of evasion, but the drinking has been cut down 90 per cent. Some unbiased investigation shows that since the Sunday closing order there has been more attention paid to legitimate business and the grocer, the meat dealer and the property owner reports a decided improvement. The drier Chicago gets the greater the prosperity for legitimate trade and for family happiness and for a lessening of crime.

ARMY DESERTERS FROM HEREABOUTS

Photographs and Descriptions of Young Men Who Have Deserted From U. S. Service.

There are always deserters from the United States Army and Navy and when their desertion becomes certain the government causes a description and pictures to be published and sends out to the officers of the law at the points claimed as the residence of the deserters at the time of enlistment. Sheriff MdColly has a number of these descriptions at this time and the following is part of the list: William F. Stone, enlisted Jan. 14, 1911, deserted .May 13, 1912. Gave his residence as Rensselaer, Ind., and has a sister, Mrs. Edna Japke, at Old Wine, Ohio. “Bill” Stone, as a boy, was well known here. His father was “Dick” Stone, and the boy was so much admired by Rees Goddard, who ran a quart shop and saloon on Front street, that he left the boy some property. “Bill” became a rover, however, and evidently got away with the property soon after becoming of age. He enlisted in the army when 11 years old. It is believed that he visited here since the date named as the time of his desertion. A reward of SSO is offered for his arrest and return to the army. Hugh McGinnis, born at Chesterton, Ind., deserted from the 12th cavalry at Fort Robinson, Neb-, Aug. 7, 1912. Lawrence H. Hester, bom at Ambia, Ind., deserted from the coast artillery corps at Fort Flagler, Wash., Aug. 10, 1915. He had enlisted less than three months before. He is now about 22 years of age. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs only 138 pounds. Arthur C. Tuttle is a Remington lad. He enlisted Dec. 1, 1913, in the field artillery and deserted at Texas City, Tex., Feb. 28, 1915. When he enlisted he gave his address as Aurora, 111., and the person to be notified in case of emergency as his sister, Pearl Davis, Milford, 111. He is now 24 years of age. He is 5 feet 11% inches tall and when he enlisted weighed 155 pounds. Frank M. Baker deserted from the coast artillery at Fort Adams, Rhode Island, on Aug. 1, 1915. He enlisted Sept. 12, 1914, at which time he was 21 years of age. His residence was Monticello, Ind., and in case of emergency he wanted his uncle, Henry J. Reid, of Monticello, notified. The government pays a reward of SSO for the arrest and return of any deserter within two years after the time for which said deserter had enlisted. If any reader knows the whereabouts of any of the above named they can secure the reward by producing them or probably get a split in the reward by arranging with some officer.

Franklin Man and His Wonderful Free Vaudeville—Children Not Admitted Without Parents.

Franklin, the man who succeeded in stirring New York to its foundations last winter and who will arrive in this city shortly, has had a remarkable career. He began life on a farm, in Iowa; left home at fourteen, wandered all over the world until twenty-five and finall yacquired a fortune in two years from medicine, the formula of which he claims to have acquired from a French chemist in return for a small loan. Franklin believes the stomachs of civilized nations are slowly degenerating from centuries of abuse. He says that 50 or 60 per cent of all Americans are in poor health, owing to weakened digestive organs. He claims there would be little sickness if we could eradicate the chronic stomach trouble of the present generation. With his medicine to back him up he began a campaign two years ago traveling from city to city, “educating the stomach”, as he calls it. From the first he was extraordinarily successful and his theories are now widely accepted in the eastern and middle western states. _ This will be Franklin’s first visit to this part of the country where he will spend the next month expounding his theories and introducing his medicine in our city. Franklin expects to arrive here on Tuesday. FREE SHOW—Franklin carries a large vaudeville company with him and will start a series of ftee concerts and vaudeville shows at the Ellis Theatre commencing Tuesday evening at 7:3o.—Advertisement.

BROUGHT HOME AN ILLINOIS SCALP

High School Went to Watseka Saturday and Defeated Suckers In Good Game 6 to 3.

Rensselaer high school after a rest of three weeks went to Watseka last Saturday and defeated the high school of that city 6 to 3. It was a good game and has put lots of pepper in the red and black defenders for the balance of the year. The record this year is two victories and one defeat. The defeat was a crushing one, for Hammond put it over our fighting athletes 46 to 0 but now it seems we have come out from under and have taken a sort of new lease on life and will close the season much stronger than appeared possible after our loss to Hammond. Watseka scored in the first quarter with a place kick, getting 3 points, and these proved to be their only points of the game. Rensselaer struggled for every inch of ground after that and in the third period Booster Eigelsbach got away for a 15-yard run on a forward pass and went over the Watseka line. It was well to the side but on a punt out the ball was caught right in front of the goal, and it looked safe for another point but some one’s toe was not working well and the ball went wide, but it was not a serious loss for the score did not move after that time and Rensselaer won 6 to 3.

Rensselaer’s line held splendidly. The men got down and kept down and could not be budged. The back field has been greatly strengthened by Emmet Hollingsworth, who is good in defensive play and in the interference where there had been marked weakness before. Th Dunlap boys played well, so did Booster Eigelsbach and Dwight Curnick, who suffered injuries that caused him to be taken out of the game. This week’s practice will be devoted to defensive play, so as to hold down the visitors and to perfecting the forward pass which our youngsters seem disposed to handle in a very able manner. The Logansport line is heavy and the team comes here with a great record, having defeated Kirklin as a curtain raiser for the lowa-Purdue game last Saturday 12 to 0 and having lost to the fast South Bend team only 10 to 0. Next Saturday’s game will be one worth seeing and our boys are determined to win it if they have the athletic prowess to do so. Get busy, rooters, and help them do it.

Culver Military Academy To Have New Black Horse Troop.

In speaking of the fire that last week destroyed the Black Horse troop of Culver Military academy, the Culver Citizen says: As soon as word of the disaster was sent to the Culver brothers in St. Louis, they acted with characteristic promptness to put in motion the machinery for replacement of both the horses and Arrangements were made immediately with the stock yards for the purchase of more black horses of an even greater number than were lost. On Monday both E. R. Culver and B. B. Culver were at the academy with the school architect, and the plans for the new stables were being pushed. Work will be started at once on these. It is hoped that the full number of horses will be on hand within three weeks. On Tuesday morning Captain Rossow and Dr. Gordon set out to buy horses for replacement. They will scour parts of Indiana, Ohio and Missouri in their search for black steeds that will meet the specifications for the troop.

Electrical apparatus to determine the range and tone of human voices has been invented by a German woman.

Bom, Saturday, Nov. 6th, to Mr. and Mrs. Casey Williams, a daughter.

Raymond Stucker, of Mt. Ayr, is planning to return to Lafayette to resume his business course at Indiana Business College after an enforced absence of more than a year caused by sickness that necessitated an operation and long treatment. For some time Raymond, who is a graduate of Rensselaer high school, was in a very critical condition and his recovery seemed very improbable, but now he is back to almost his normal condition and it is hoped that he will be able to complete his commercial course without further interruption. He went to Lafayette last week to rent rooms for himself and wife.

Don’t Read “Thrashey” Stuff And Recommends the Bible.

The Republican recently sent to subscribers whose time was expiring a circular offering some other publications along with The Republican at a slightly advanced price. The result was quite satisfactory, but we received one letter that we believe contains sufficient interest to warrant publishing and here it is: parr Indiana november the 2 1915 to the Republican Der Surs I got your offer and will say I ame a member of the church of the brethren sum call us dunkerds and will say that we do not reed that kind of letteture as we as Christens do not beleve in reding thrashey stuf and more I under stude that when I Renude my subscription I could pay it eny time in the yer that I had it so tou will no by this that I do not want the extry papers there is a nus of evle going on all Redy sence the devorce law got so luce min and wimen are parding evry whar and maring and remaring and veliating the Word of god one evry hand, take the devorce evle and the whiskey trafic they to of the most evels that the world has to contend with.
