The community in general was pained this Thursday morning to learn of the death of Councilman Frank Tobias, who passed away a" his home on North Froht street at 2:45 a. m. this Thursday morning | after an illness that extended over a period of several weeks. Death was due to tuberculosis. Mr.. Tobias h;d been in delicate health for a number of years prior, to his death, but it was only recently that he was forced to give up his active pursuits in an at- ‘ tempt to regain his health. Mr. Tobias was born in New Leb- . anon, Ohio, in the year 1870, and 1 spent his childhood there. In 1891 'he was married to Miss Ida Dixie, of Rensselaer. Following his marriage Mr. Tobias worked for a number of years at Lake Forest, 111., where he was employed as assistant agent by the railroad company. Mr. Tobias came to Rensselaer about ten years ago, and for a number of years operated the news stand now owned by J. J.

BANKS WILL BE CLOSED SATURDAY

Saturday, February 22, is the birthday of George Washington, the founder of this nation. He is fittingly referred to as “First in war, first in peace and first in Ithe hearts of his countrymen.” This date is a national holiday and legal instruments cannot lawfully be executed theron. .... Inasmuch’ as it is th® custom of many to come to the city on Saturday, the fact that the banks will not be open, should be kept in mind. Merchants can provide somewhat against the inconvenience by keeping a larger amount of money on hands than usual, as a number of checks will undoubtedly he presented. We are more able to appreciate some of the conveniences we have by being deprived of them, and the excellent services rendered by our accommodating banking houses is certainly one of the very great conveniences we all enjoy. But what we started to say was the banks will be closed Saturday.

WE ENLISTED TO FIGHT FOR $30 PER; NOT TO WORK

i That the boys are getting sick and tired of rebuilding France at S3O per month when (they enlisted to fight and not to shovel is seen in letters coming from overseas. One soldier says: I “The days are short and the nights are long in this lonely French spot- Every day seems like a year. The tim§ , seems so long because we have to stay. I think nobody gives a damn, either. We were once ordi ered for convoy but the order was countermanded and we were ordered to help rebuild France. Of course, i France needs help but we soldiers are not laborers. The war is over. We didn’t enlist to help clean up France. We enlisted to fight Germans. We have worked hard for months and get a dollar a day for it. Let us come home for a visit. Can’t some kind soul help us?”

HOSTILITIES ON LOCAL COURT TONIGHT; SEASON NEARS END

Net followers have the fever right now and it is expected that there will be a large crowd on 'hand this evening when the curtain goes up.

INDIANA WILL HAVE 1,000 SOLDIERS TO CARE FOR

TO BRING A TEST SUIT.

It is reported that Trustee Walter Harrington, of Union township, who was instructed to consult a Rensselaer lawyer to ascertain if that township could borrow sufficient funds to continue the schools in that township, has secured the services of Attorney G. A. Williams. The question submitted to Attorney Williams by Mr. Harrington was, “Can the people of that township mandate me to borrow money in order to continue the schools ? ’ 9 From this it appears that the trustee is against borrowing the money and not in favor of a term of school sufficient in length to allow the pupils to complete the work they should accomplish this year. The people, who are in favor of a term of sufficient length, have been to the expense of securing a lawyer, and it is reported that a friendly suit will be brought and the matter will be submitted to Judge Charles W. Hanley.
