CAFETERIA DINNER.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1916.

H' Will H. Hays, of Sullivan, who may enter race for seat in U. S. Senate made vacant by the death of Senator Shively _

TAGGART PROBABLY WILL FILL VACANCY

Gov. Ralston Will Probably Choose Close Friend—Place Open For Watson. —~— A,,,.- .-■■ - "gr *-■.-- ••... »■ •-.. ... •■ ', t Indianapolis, March 14. —That Thomas Taggart would be appointed by Governor Ralston as the successor to Senator Shively was the opinion expressed by politicians here generally. So far no other name hasbeen mentioned in connection with the place. Gov. Ralston, naturally would not even discuss the matter tonight, but there has been a warm friendship between the governor and Mr. Taggart for many years and it will not be surprising if the place is tendered to him. Gov. Ralston has the power to appoint a successor who will serve until the general election in November. Under the provisions of the primary law, the democratic state convention which meets here in April will nominate a senatorial candidate to run with Senator Kern who was ated in last Tuesday’s primary. If Mr. Taggart is appointed by the governor, he in all probability would be nominated by the state convention. The death of Senator Shively means that the republicans will name two candidates for United States senator at their state convention in place of one. ' This may clarify a situation that apparently might have . developed trouble, as James E. Watson, who was a candidate in the primary, decided to go into the convention against Harry E. New, who received a plurality of republican votes in the primary. It is understood an effort will be made to have the republican state convention nominate both New and Watson, thereby preventing a fight.

Monticello May Contest Game Played in Elimination Contests.

Monticello, Ind., March 14.—Monticello was defeated in its fight for the sectional championship at Lafayette Saturday in a very bitterly contested game with the Jefferson high school. It is said by spectators-that Lafayette was invariably given the advantage and that with square treatment Monticello probably would have won the tournament. The game may be protested to the state .athleic association, in which case Lafayette would lose her chance to compete in the state tournament and would not be permitted to hold sectional tourna-“ ments on her own floor after this time.

The second team is composed of Harry Pingree, Will Schroeder, Charles Sill, Fred Tom and John Smith. The Journal says that when the team will return home depends upon their ability to fetch home the bacon, and says in conclusion: “they’d better bring it.”

B. & H. Elevator Shipping Cora Here From Chicago.

W. C. Babcock, of the firm of Babcock & Hopkins, made a trip to Louisville last week to sell some soft com unfit for the eastern market. It is being used in Kentucky for the purpose of manufacturing alcohol and Mr. Babcock understands that a number of distilleries are now engaged in making alcohol for export to Europe to supply needs of the European war. He was also informed that only No. 2 and No. 3 com are used inKentucky for the making of Bour bcm? whiskey,but any oTd grade is all right for making the alcohol that goes for export. Kentuckians, who are judges of good whiskey, say that the soft com makes a mouldy whiskey, the kind that leaves a bad taste in the mouth the morning after. During the past three weeks Babcock & Hopkins have been shipping in corh from Chicago, drying and grading it. They have been working night and day forces and have handled upwards of 50 cars. The better grades are shipped to the east. '

SHIVELY, INDIANA SENATOR, IS DEAD

Senator From Indiana Died Tuesday . Afternoon After Long Illness. Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, died Tuesday afternoon at the Providence hospital in Washington. He had been in failing condition for the past two years and his death came peacefully and without apparent pain. * When Senator Shively visited Rensselaer about two years ago and made a speech he was in poor health. Those who heard his talk liked it very much. The school children were urged to hear him and there was not one who did not have a good word to say for him. The immediate cause of death was diabetic cancer of the throat. Tuesday morning the senator had a chill followed by a great weakness and it became 'apparent that the end was near. At his bedside were Mrs. Shively, their sofi John and daughter Mary, a brother, Aaron Shively and the senator’s secretary, Byford Long. The body will be taken to the home in South Bend for burial.
