Young Man Left Car Believed to Be Stolen and Did Not Say That He Was Coming Back. Richard C. Collins, the young man whose strange actions caused his arrest on a charge of violating the automobile license law and who is believed to have stolen the car he had here, was released from custody Thursday by a habeas corpus proceedings brought by his •attorney, A. Halleck. Sheriff MeColly and John A. Hayes, the latter a Lafayette detective, worked diligently to locate a stolen Ford automobile that might lead io the conviction of the young man held here, but they were unable to find any stolen cars in either Indianapolis or Louisville. The number on the engine of the car had been tampered with and changed from its original number. Collins bid the sheriff and his wife goodbye and went to Chicago on the evening train, taking passage in a Pullman car. He said nothing about trying to recover the car, which is still in the possession of Sheriff

Society Notes

Recently an article giving an account of the material improvements in our little city was published in The Republican, and we were all glad to note how numerous and varied they were; but unless there accompanies this material growth a development along lines of spiritual and artistic improvement as well, the finished product is an abnonnal thing with the better parts missing. Fortunately that can not be said of out little city. There has always been an abundance of local talent that needed only to be organized in order to bling about great benefit both to the community and the individuals and we are fortunate indeed in having as a resident a very competent organizer in the person of Mrs. Loren Sage, who, with the aid of the kindly co-operative spirit of others of our talented citiezns, has brought about a gratifying, improvement in our opportunities to hear the best things possible in a musical way, by the organization of the Choral Club and the Matinee Musical. Through these musical clubs it has made the work of all the local talent available and has stimulated an appreciation of the finer and higher class of music in the mind of the general public. The entertainment given by the Matinee Musical club last night at the M. E. church was convincing evidence of what has eben accomplished. The varied program was a musical treat to the representative audience who heard them. Each number worthy of special comment. The visitors who assisted in the program, Profs. Hovorka and Ziegler from the college, and Misses Clora Belle Spalding and Agnes Farwell, of Chicago, as well as the quartet of ladies who are members of the club, responded to enthusiastic encores. Tonight the program will be given by the Choral Club at the Christian church and none who appreciate the best things in music and who wish to encourage these better things in our community should miss the cantata tonight. A miscellaneous shower was given by the girls of “The Bunch” to Mrs. Noble York at the home of Mrs. Emma York. The affair was a surprise. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. - The Ladies Missionary Society of the- Presbyterian church met Tuesday at the home of Mrs. John R. Vanatta.

Hoosier Authors Will Attend the Training Camp.

The University Club, of Indianapolis, has started a campaign for enlistments to the citizens’ training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison and thirty-three enlisted this week, including Booth Tarkington and Meredith Nicholson, the authors. A statement was published Thursday that the success of the July camp was assurred as 500 Chicago businessmen had enlisted fbr it. So far no Rensselaer citizen has enlisted so far as we have learned. N. C. Shafer, of the Main Garage, would like to go but his business is such that he can not be away for the full thirty days, which is involved in the enlistment. He plans to visit the camp during the summer c.nd to remain several days. From the 10th to the 16th of July the officers’ training camp will be held at Fort Benjamin Harrison and all line officers and part of the staff officers of the Indiana National Guard will attend, including Major Healey, Captain Herman B. Tuteur, Lieutenants Garland, Watson and Arthur Tuteur and several of the non-commis-sioned officers of the local company. .The annual camp of instruction for all members of the guard will be held in August, probably in .. series of regimental camps lasting from August sth to 21st. The citizens’ camps will last through July, August and September, provided enough volunteer to provide for the camps. The first one is assurred.

Painful Injury While Rinsing Wringer Run By Engine.

Mr.s Lon Colton, who lives on the Henry Amsler place near Pleasant Ridge, received a very painful injury Thursday morning. While rinsing a wringer run by a belt from a gasoline engine the third and fourth fingers on the left hand were caught between the rollers of the wringef and run through, while the first and second fingers were pushed 'back over the hand. A wedding ring on the third finger caused a tear which continued back over the outer portion of the hand for several inches. Dr. Johnson was called and after administering an anaesthetic took several stiches in the hand. ... , :

BIG DAMAGES ARE ASKED BY EX-EDITOR

Henry Lane Wilson Asks $350,000 Article of Ridicule Norman Hapgood Was Responsible For.

Washington, May 10.—Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico and formerly editor of the Lafayette Journal, filed suit for $350,000 damages against Norman Hapgood, former publisher of Harper’s Weekly, in the district supreme court today.. In his voluminous petition Mr. Wilson alleges that Hapgood was responsible for the publication of a series of special articles in which the good name of the plaintiff was held up to public riducule. The court is informed by the petitioner that he served sixteen years in the diplomatic service of the U. 3. as minister to Belgium and to Chile and later as ambassador to Mexico. The declaration is made that his services were performed faithfully, and that he had never been suspected of being incompetent, unskillful, or deficient. The articles complained of, the petition asserts, w’ere under the caption “Huerta and the two Wilsons,” and w T ere written by Robert H. Murray for Harper’s Weekly. “Was Henry Lane Wilson concerned in the lot to assassinate Madero,” is said to have been a portion of the first article. Mr. Wilson reviews his service for this government in Mexico, and during the period of revolt against Francisco Madero in 1913, he says his efforts were devoted to the protection of American lives and the lives of other foreign citizens. He alleges that the defendant in his publication intimates that he was identified with General Huerta and the latter revolution, which resulted in unseating of Madero. The petition contains numerous quotations from the alleged defamatory articles and prays the court to give the plaintiff a judgment for $350,000 and the costs of the proceedings. Mt. Wilson is represented by Attorney Chauncey Hackett.

Progressives Willing to Compromise On Candidate.

The most significant thing politically the past week has been the announcememt by George W. Perkins, following a meeting of the progressive executive committee, that the progressives will not insist on the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president by the republicans. Mr. Perkins said: “If the republicans will nominate a man who stands for progressive principles and is able to put them through. We, of course, are for Roosevelt and will suggest his name to the republicans. If they reply that they will not agree on the colonel we shall ask them to name us their man. We are willing to be reasonable for the sake of harmony.” It is hardly probable that there is any possibility of the nomination of Roosevelt. The delegates to the republican national convention have Wn chosen in every state by the old line republicans and they were not for Roosevelt. While in many states as in Indiana there are former progressives on the delegation they are in the minority and unless a condition should exist that made the naming of Roosevelt important for the welfare of the country and the delegates could see that he was the only man for the job there is not any chance of his nomination. Indiana will be solidly for Charles Warren Fairbanks and all over the country he is being looked on with great favor. The recent announcement of Elihu Root that he was an active candidate has been an important occurrence and this great man will command the respect of all and will doubtless secure support from all sections of the counEvidently the executive committee of the progressive party realized that there was no chance of republicans nominating Mr. Roosevelt or they have been told by him not to urge liis nomination) At least the skies are somewhat cleared by the announcement and the convention should find a candidate who will be alike acceptable to republicans and progressives. Fairbanks, Root, Cummings, Weeks or Borah could any of them fill the measure and assure republican success. --

Doctors O. K. Night Air

Urge Sleeping With Windows Open. If you want red cheeks in the morning have your bedroom windows well open all night—thus do the modern physicians dispose of the old superstition about the miastma of night air. Fresh air and open bowels are the first and foremost health rules. If nature needs assistance in the shape of a laxative use the natural, vegetable laxative—castor oil, the doctors first thought in all stomach and intestinal disorders —ft not only removes the cause, but heals at the same time. Thia may now be had in jellied form and deliciously flavored. Ask for Covington’s CASTOR-JELL. On sale at B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. Castor Products Co., Cleveland, O.
