The remarkable results of Mr. Fairbanks’ work in that state has caused much favorable comment throughout the entire country.

LARGER QUARTERS FOR F. D. BURCHARD

Variety Store to Move Into Makeever Building In Time to Holiday Stock.

F. D. Burchard’s 5 and 10 cent and variety store has outgrown its present quarters and is to move to the Makeever room adjoining Rowles & Parker’s department store about Dec. Ist, making possible the attractive display of a large stock of holiday goods that have already begun to arrive. Mr. Burchard some time ago considered the move but temporarily gave it up. The growth of his business, however, has so exhausted every particle of available room in his present quarters that it would have been impossible to arrange any convenient display of his holiday stock and the decision was reached to move to the room above mentioned, which has an additional dept of 40 feet and other advantages. Since Mr. Burchard took charge of the store some two years ago it has enjoyed a steady increase of patronage and he has widened many lines and installed many other new ones in his effort to keep pace with the demands of his increasing trade. The new building will give opportunity for the further increase of the stock and make it possible to care for the increased patronage.

Nectarine Responsible For Shooting at Royal Center.

As a result of feeling that has been aroused between the wet and dry forces at Royal Center, James Conn was wounded Saturday by Town Marshal Gaby. The shooting occurred in the front end of John Übelhouser’s soft drink emporium. According to the story of Conn, he stood talking to a man when Marshal Gaby came up and threw a flashlight* inTiis face. Conn said that he suggested to Gaby that he retire and leave him alone, and that this was what started the argument. Conn says that Gaby siezed him and that he shoved him away and started to walk u pthe alley and that it was then that Gaby shot him. Conn then picked up a. stone. . Gaby advanced, placed his gun against Conn’s breast and pulled the trigger but the gun failed to work. Marshal Gaby’s story is that Conn stood on the corner cursing the law and people and inviting any dry man in the world to come forth and do combat. He states that Conn defied arrest and that when he tried to arrest him that Conn resisted and struck at him and It was not until then that he fired. After shooting Conn, Gaby fled three affidavits against him and secured a search warrant to go through-Übelhouser’s place to look for a drink that was being sold under the name of Nectarine. Six barrels were found and destroyed and Übelhouser was lodged in jail until a chemical analysis could be made of it.

Timothy Comer Takes Up Residence In the Sunny South.

Timothy Comer, a veteran of the civil war as a member of the 9th Indiana volunteers and for most of his life a resident of this city, has gone to Fitzgerald, Ga., where he will spend the winter and possibly, as indicated to a few of his old comrades, to spend his remaining days. Mr. Comer was never married. During the past four or five years he had resided with his cousins, the Misses Mary and Lizzie Comer, at the Comer House, but prior to that time for seven years he had lived at Fitzgerald, where he enjoyed the best of health and where the milder winters suited him better than the more rigorous winters of the north. Mr. Comer is about 75 ytears of age and he had many friends here who will miss him but who will wish him a happy life in his new home.

Sacred Music in the Home

Music is the language of emotion. Great music has been written to depict hate, anger, fear and supreme tragedy; and less violent but no less great music has been written to express love, hope, contentment and joy. -

What power it has to satisfy, melt and subdue; truly there is an almost omnipotent power in music. The human soul is a mighty harp and all its strings vibrate to the gush of music. The human voice is the most perfect musical instrument ever made and well it might be for it had the most skillful maker. Some one has said that music washes away from the spul the dust of every day life. Carlyle says “All deep things are musical.” Martin Luthei* said “The devil can not bear singing.” Surely there is nothing like it to cast out the demon of discontent. It keeps the spirit fresh and elastic and better fitted to combat the trials and perplexities of the daily routine of toil.

How sweet does it make the worship of God to have the reverend emotions poured out in song. Music sweetens the cup of bitterness, lightens the burden, makes the heart courageous and the soul cheerfully devout. When we know how much the ,world needs awakening, we can think of nothing better fitted to do it than that power which dwells in the mysterious melodies of music. Sacred music is often a precious rpeans of grace. So you that have this gift think of the souls around you perishing and use it to glorify God. Charles Wesley’s songs will out-live John Wesley’s sermons. We have spoken in a general way of music, of its qualities and impressions. Josef Hos man says “The sense of rythmis given to every normal human being.” and from tin ybabes to old age har-

OPTIMISM PREVAILS THROUGHOUT INDIANA

Recent Elections Point to National and State Success In Elections To Be Held In 1916.

Indianapolis, Nov. 9.—The spirit of optimism which has characterized the republican party in Indiana during the last several weeks has been intensified by the results of the recent elections. Party leaders find much to encourage them in the coming conflict. The large republican gains in Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey and elsewhere is interpreted to mean that American voters are turning to the republican party for relief from the present industrial depression, and will vote for the restoration of a protective tariff in 1916. The results of the recent elections has also stimulated renewed vigor and activity among the candidates seeking nominations on the republican state ticket. During the last few days a number of candidates have opened headquarters in Indianapolis and others are planning to do so in the near future. It is interesting to observe that the Columbia Club has become the center of activity during the preliminary stages of the campaign. Around the club lobby every day are seen candidates, campaign managers, boosters and leaders from all parts of the state who are forming the habit of coming to the Columbia Club to get in touch with the real political activities of the day. These leaders do not represent any particular candidate. The policy of the club is to refrain from encouraging any activity which would result in developing sentiment for any particular candidate in advance of the time when the nominations will be made. The club will be a potent factor iir republican politics in the coming campaign. The membership has now reached over 3,200 and is growing each week. At the meeting of the board of directors this week 62 new members were elected. In this list were a number of prominent republicans and business men in Fort Wayne, Peru, Logansport and other points in the northern part of the state. The club is now the second largest republican club west of New York and is regarded as one of the most powerful organizations of the kind in the United States. The campaign for new members which has been* underway for several months, will continue indefinitely. It is predicted that the membership will be increased to 5,000 before the close of the 1916 campaign.

By Mrs. Josedh A. Pullins

mony attracts us, and there has never been anything composed that surpasses hymns written by Fanny Crosby, Isaac Watts, A. M. Toplady, P. P. Bliss and Wesley. Such as “Saved by Grace," “Am I a Soldier of the Cross?” “Rock “Let the Lower bights Be Burning,” or “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” There is an unfathomable depth to them when rendered in consecration. They are among the very best things we can bring into the home; they are’ filled with beauty and truth, two things children seek persistently. In memory I have no more vivid-pictures than those of my grandfather’s and gran grandfather’s respective homes with the /amily gathered around the altar for evening worship, and nothing has ever stirred my soul deeper than the songs sung after the reading of the Scripture with no one but God to hear; no pretense nor extra trills, but a full unreserved unaccompanied communion and praise through song. While in my own father’s home we delighted in singing and playing sacred music, we had quite a variety of instruments but we seemed to get more tranquil unison when rendering that class of pieces, no difference which we used. There is no doubt but this helped to develop in the children sent out from these homes a desire for the more staid and spiritual things and instilled in them a reverence for all good as well as enlarged their sympathies and fitted their hearts with devotion for the Creator. So, knowing these effects, I do not hesitate to insist on having this music in our own home and I trust I have said something that will induce you to note the superior quality of good sacred music and give it a place in your family’s entertainment.

SALOONKEEPERS ASK U. S. COURT TO CURB MAYOR

Chicago Proprietors Appeal For Injunction Against Sunday Closing Law —Charge Discrimination. Chicago, Nov. 8. —Ten saloonkeepers today sought an injunction in the U. S. district court to restrain Mayor Thompson and the city police from preventing them from selling tobacco and non-intoxicating liquors on Sunday and to prevent the revocation of saloon licenses for such sales. Discrimination against the saloonkeepers and in favor of druggists and other store keepers is alleged in the complaint which sets forth that under the present ruling of the city authorities, saloonkeepers are denied their rights as retail dealers to sell cigars, tobacco, buttermilk, mineral waters and similar non-intoxicants. The court is also petitioned to hold the Illinois anti-tippling statute which directs that saloons be closed on Sunday, void and unconstitutional. •

STOMACH MAN FROM EAST HAS ARRIVED

Franklin Will Place His Remedy At the Larsh & Hopkins Drug Store, Commencing Wednesday.

Franklin, the young man who has acquired an immense following throughout the east and west with his theories and medilines, arrived in our city yesterday. In speaking of his stay in this city, Franklin has this to say: “I shall remain here about a month. I have come here more for a rest and the wonderful climate than anything else, as I have been working very hard in the east. However, I shall take this opportunity of introducing my preparation to the people of Rensselaer and proving to them how little sickness therq would be in this city if they, would guard their stomach as they do their pocketbooks. “There is very little the matter with Americans other than stuffed up, overworked digestive organs, but there is a surprising amount of this condition, and in consequence most of us are half sick a large part of the time. My medicine is not like the marvelous preparations we read about so much in advertisements that will almost bring the dead back to life. It is nothing but a stomach regulator and tonic, but it is the best thing of the kind I know on the market today/ It will make a balky, overworked, peevish stomach get down to business in about thirty days. I w*ill convince an awful lot ! of people of this before I leave your city. “My remedies will be on sale at the Larsh & Hopkins drug store.” Franklin carries a large company of people who will present a vaudeville show at the Ellis theatre, to start at 7:30 p. m. The show is absolutely free to all. Children not admitted without parents.

Tick, Tock; Tick Tock; Farewell Grandfather’s Clock.

Gradually electricity is supplanting other means of motive power and for some years the Western Union has been using electrically controlled clocks, thus saving the winding process and assuring technically correct time all the time. It looks as.though it was going to be goodbye for grandfather’s clock. A. B. Burton, of Lafayette, district manager for the Western Union Telegraph Co., has been making arrangements to install some of the electrical clocks in Rensselaer and J. J. Montgomery, the always boosting and progressive nevfs and confectionery dealer, has been making the rounds with him and while a minimum of eight clocks in a town has been the custom it is probable that an exception will be made here and six installed. The six who have subscribed are The First National and State banks, J. J. Montgomery, the Makeever hotel, Vernon Nowels and the Little Indian Cigar Store. It is probable that they will be installed about Dec. Ist.
