It is thought that J ocal talent was to blame. . The greatest line of new suits in the city and at prices you. can afford. Let us show you. • ROWLES & PARKER. Railroads cannot limit the amount of their liability by statements on the back of baggage checks that the carrier will not assume liability to exceed SIOO, according to a decision by the Ohio supreme court. The Fowler Clothing Company, of Fowler, through its owner, Charles Staples, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the federal court in Indianapolis. This is the preliminary step in bankruptcy. The liabilities of the store are said to be $6,5C0 with assets of about $2,700. The heaviest losers will be wholesale houses which have extended credit to the concern. 10,000 persons witnessed the opening Wednesday night of the pageant in Evansville in the celebration of the centennial of Indiana’s admission to statehood, the two-day pageant being a feature of the entertainment offered by the G. A. R. and allied organizations in their annual state encamipmetns. D. H. Yeoman and Nathand Eldridge, of Rensselaer, are attending the encampment.

A Symbol of Health. The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece ate simple food, practised temperance and purity. As a badge they used the five pointed stay which they regarded as a symbol of health. A red five pointed star appears on each package of Chamberlain’s Tablets, and still fulfills its ancient mission as a symbol of health. If you are troubled with indigestion, biliousness or constipation, get a package of these tablets from your druggist. You will be surprised at the- quick relief which they afford. For sale by B. F.

QUESTION OF BAND STAND UP AGAIN

Concensus of Opinion is That a Permanent Band Stand Should Be Built Without Delay. With the advent of the weekly concert season again our attention has been brought to the conditions under which the members of our splendid band labor. Under the present conditions the players are forced to sit out in the street in common chairs, where they are handicapped by poor light and the crowd which forces itself up around the players. Professor Braun took charge of the local band about four years ago and at that time practiclly none of the present members had ever played an instrument of any sort, and the progress they have made has been wonderful. The citizens of Rensselaer should be proud of their band and also Professor Braun. The players themselves have derived bery little from their work in a financial way and have been very liberal with their music upon every occasion, and it is deplorable that such conditions should exist. Rensselaer bands have played for years upon an old movable, stand built on wheels, but even this structure finally wore out and or the past year or so Prof. Braun and his band have been literally forced out into the street. The talk of a new stand has been discussed pretty generally and it is probable that an effort will be made yet this week to subscribe enough money to build a permanent stand. The cost would be extremely small considering the benefit derived and and permanency of the structure. The two places most prominently mentioned for the stand are the court house yard and Milroy park, and the latter place seems to meet with more favor than the former. The band is now supported by the taxpayers, and every citizen should take an interest in this question. Let’s all pull together and see if Rensselaer can not have a band stand before the concert season is over this year.
