A board of trade* message received here this Friday afternoon advised 'that the x eoal strike max?, end Saturday.

CELEBRATE THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.

Fifty years ago today there was solemnized in Rensselaer the marriage of John Nowels and Mercie Hopkins. The license was granted by Marion I. Spitler, who was then the of the circuit court, and the ceremony was performed by Justice Howard. ■ Mr. and Mrs. Nowels after their marriage took up their residence upon his farm, where they resided until about seven years ago, when they moved to this city. The half wedded-tife has been a remarkably pleasant one for Mr. and Mrs. Rowels. They are the parents of following children, who have all grown to mature manhood and womanhood: Virgil Nowels, of Missouri; Lucy Fritz, of Durand, Mich.; Mrs. Joseph Luers, of Kouts, and Jay Nowels, of this city. All of these children, with the exception of Virgil, enjoyed the golden anniversary with their parents here today. A number of the twelve grandchildren were also here. Mr. and Mrs. Nowels enjoy splendid health and neither looks to be over fifty years of age. I Among the other guests here to- , day were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilson, of Indianapolis. The Republican extends hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Nowels and their children and expresses the hope that the happy family may have its years of unbroken joy extended far into the future.

FRIDAY HOSPITAL NOTES.

Philip Roy, of South of town, entered the hospital early this morning for medical attention. The condition of Mrs. Sarah Miller, who entered the hospital yesterday, remains unchanged. All other patients are improving. We wish to thank the ladies of the Home Economics club and the good people of this city and the surrounding county for the donations of fruit and vegetables to the hospital. The donations consisted of fruit and pickles, 125 quarts; fifty glasses of jelly, three bushels of potatoes and a supply, of pumpkins. - In order that more people might receive benefit, the hospital board decided to continue with the old charges for service instead of raising, as most hospitals did, and, in view of the fact that the cost of all supplies has advaficed so far, these donations are greatly appreciated. . MATTIE HEMPHILL, Hospital Supt. The trustees of the hospital met in regular monthly session Thursday evening. The report of the superintendent wasexamined and claims here allowed. The receipts for the month were $935.30. The expenditures were: For salaries and nurse hire, $705.91; for supplies, $443.51, making a total of $1,139.42, or a deficit for the month of $204.12.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 6. Although on the surface of things the coal strike looks warlike on all sides, with the government prepared to demand a mandatory order of court directing the mine leaders to rescind the strike order and the miners’ leaders ready to defy, the order and go to jail, . there is a strong undercurrent at work for peace, with the cSWhdtas 'the peace moving force. Tomorrow the cabinet meets to listen to a proposal said to have been worked up by Secretaries Wilson and Lane, whereby the preliminary negotiatioAs for peace can be provided the hearing at Indianapolis is continued for one week. —<° There was a tense situation in the senate today when a republican challenge almost resulted in a showdown on the peace treaty. For a few minutes it looked as if tne democrats were going to force a vote on a straight motion to ratify the treaty without reservations. The leaders of both sides were panicstricken for a few minutes until they succeeded in getting the situation involved in a technical parliamentary tangle which finally left the treaty situation just where it has been for weeks, With no prospect for a final vote for some time to come. —o — The first international congress of working women adjourned here after affecting permanent organization wit\ Mrs. Raymond Robins, of Chicago, 'as international president. । The central powers were admitted 'to membership and given a vice-pres-i idency. -

COAL STRIKE SUMMARY

New restrictiofns on lhe use of soft coal were announced yesterday, sixth day of the strike. ’ln some localities crdeFS were even more drastic than during the war, but the general situation showed but .little change. Bunkering of foreign-owned vessels at American ports was ordered stopped by the central committee of the railroad administration.

Other railroads were expected to cut their schedules within twentyfour hours. Small Kansas cities and towns reportdd nearly empty coal bins with closing ■of light and water plants near. A similar situation prevailed in Nebraska and Alabama. Indiana’s public service commis-sion-decreed. lightless streets, disr continuance of electric sign service, coal, gas for heating and other advisable restrictions of service by public utilities/ with less than a two weeks’ supply of coal. o Counsel for the miners fried a petition in the Indianapolis federal courts for the dissolution of the government’s temporary injunction against the strike.

D.) doctors of medical dentistry, who attended the national dental con ve ntion held at New Orleans throughout last week and concluded to finish out the trip with a‘ visit to Havana. They are a young and intelligent cr9wd of representative Americans and should be accorded a welcome to our “wet city,” and their wives, devoid of paint, calsomine and stinking powder, are a welcome sight to all of us Americans.

SENSATIONAL EXPOSURE IS MADE OF CLOTHING UNION.

Chicago, Nov. 6.— Charges that agents of the Amalgamated Cloth* ing Workers of America had Obtained more than $500,000 from the clothing manufacturers in Chicago and other cities, led to raids to the local headquarters of the union today by detectives from the state attorney’s office. Books and records of the organization, includfng bank books of the union and individual officials, were seized. « Allegations made to the state’s attorney were to the effect that union agents, for their own profit, called strikes against manufacturers and threatened and coerced them into paying sums ranging from SSOO to $30,000. The latter sum was paid by one manufacturer in three installments of SIO,OOO each, according to information in his possession, Assistant State’s Attorney Michels announced. A strike to enforce a wage increase of $8 a week, a. forty-four hour week and diversion of 25 per cent of profits of manufacturers to the union was reported to have been planned for next month. The union agents are alleged to have I sent sluggers frfm one city to an- | other and some manufacturers actually were put out of business, Mr. Michels declared. Manufacturers in one city- would be prohibited from completing work started by a firm in another city, the prosecutor charged. The union is said to the employes of 90 per cent of Chicago’s clothing manufacturing concerns. Mr. Michels declared that the increased cost of men’s clothing could be traced to the machinations of the alleged extortionists, since Chicago was generally recognized as the center of the industry.

GOVERNOR ISSUES PROCLAMATION ON ARMISTICE DAY.

An Armistice day proclamation was issued today by Governor James P. Goodrich, in which he calls upon all people in the state to observe the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. His proclamation is as follows: “November 11, 1919, marks the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice which terminated hostilities in the great world war. The anniversary should be fittingly observed by every American, and there is no better, more practical way to observe the day than by lining up in the great fight against the high cost of living. “In accordance with a request of the United States treasury department, submitted to me through the war savings organization of the seventh federal reserve district, I hereby request and urge the people of the state of Indiana to set aside the anniversary day as a day to begin the practice of thrift and saying. If our nation is to receive relief from the present unrest and from the high prices of all necessities of life, it is necessary that our citizens shall save systematically and buy wisely. “I urge that every man, woman and child in Indiana realize for his own and the common good the importance of buying wisely to reduce the demand; using wisely to avoid waste; saving regularly to provide for the future, and producing more for his own and his country’s welfare. Let, us battle against extravagance; let us increase our swings and extend the knowledge of safe investment to all our people. Government securities represent the soundest, form of investment and our people should invest a part, at least, of their savings in war savings stamps andk U. S. treasury savings certificates. ~ ■ “JAMES P. GOODRICH, “Governor of Indiana.

Mrs. Florman Potter, of Converse, who had Veen here for a week’s visit with her son, H. JJ. Potter, and her sister, Mrs. Elmer CampbeH, returned’ home today.
