NEW REMONSTRANCE CAMPAIGN PLAfmED Jackson Township "Drys" May Attempt to Make a Coup in Contest. To offset any possibility that the blanket remonstrance will be declared Illegal, the Jackson township "drys" have under consideration an attempt to secure another remonstrance. The present remonstrance, operatire until Juhe 3, 1912, IS alleged to be Illegal by the "wets," who are supporting Roy 11. Fraunberg, a Cambridge City hotel proprietor, who

is asking the county commissioners for a retail liquor license. The former passivity of the temperance forces Is now In contrast with their activity. They are prepared lo wage battle Just as earnestly as the other faction is, judging from the statements of the "dry" leaders. The "drys" have counseled frequently with their attorneys in the past week, though so far as known no concentrated action has teen agreed upon. In event the "drys" decide on another remonstrance campaign, it will not mean that they fear defeat -Jn the present contest, leaders of the "dry" faction say. They say that they only want to be prepared In case of an emergency. The "drys" say they could slip in the new remonstrance and then default In the contest on the legality of tha present remonstrance. The value of another remonstrance as figured by the temperance forces Is at least two-fold. In the first place If the "wets" should win their contention. Fraunberg could get a license and no matter when the township was remonstrated "dry," after this license had been granted, could he be forced by a remonstrance to discontinue the sale of intoxicants, until his license term had expired. In the second place it would cut down the expenses of the contest and albruptly end it. The "wets" ere expecting such a move and of course will oppose It strenuously. Plans of both factions will begin to take more definite shape next Monday when the Issues in the existing fight will be made uip in the commissioners' court. . The "drys," unless they have planned surprises, will answer the several paragraphs of Praunberg's complaint again st the remonstrance in general denial to the allegations which he set forth. The general denial may be very brief or it may be explicit, either method will serve to Join the issues in anticipation of the trial. The trial date likely will be agreed upon by the attorneys for both parties and the board Monday. If the present indications point true, the attorneys believe the trial In the commissioners' court will take three and possibly four weeks. Over six hundred witnesses will be examined. The expense which will be heaped up as a result of the trial will be enormous and therefore each side will move with extreme caution. It Is practically assured, that, unless the "drys" are able to get another remonstrance through, the defeated faction will appeal to the circuit court. Read Jenkins' Adv. on page 5.

"No. thanks." said Waldo carelessly. "Bring us some Blue Points on the half shell. Want any soup. Winnie?" "Let me have some cream of celery made for ye fresh," urged the waiter. "Don't think I care for any soup." Tick out a couple of nice double English mutton chops," said the tire commissioner. "And a portion of celery?" asked Elickey, with pencil poised. "No:" roared Waldo. "No celery." "Shall we have a salad?" asked Secretary Sbeeban. "Make you a nice celery salad, gentlemen?" said the wheedling Elickey. The fire commissioner rose In his wrath. "Look here. Hickey!" be said. "For the last time, no celery. I do not want it raw. baked, broiled or fried. I do not want it as a dessert or a drink, for if you allude to celery tonic you shall be slain where you stand. You've done your duty and tried to get us to take celery by entreaty, threat and force. If you ask me to have the national flower of Kalamazoo again I'll bit you In the nose!" Hickey mumbled something under his breath and went up stage. lie served the ordered items with silent alacrity and then, after the coffee and the check, kept at a respectful distance. At this Juncture Sbanley. the proprietor, came by and greeted the fire commissioner and his secretary. "Look here. Mr. Sbanley." said the big commissioner grimly. "I've been coming here a good many years." "Why. Mr. Commissioner, is there anything wrong?" asked Mr. Shanley quickly. "Wrong?" roared the fire commissioner. "Wrong? I should say there was! Will you tell me why a customer of this place can't get any celery?" "Mr. Butler! Mr. Knne! Mike! Larry! Pat! Who's , waiting at this table?" "Hickey ! cried a dozen voices. "Hickey!" said Shanley scornfully. "Ask the commissioner if he'll have some celery!" The Ire of little Hickey burst ali bounds.

COMPLETE JURY TO TRY TEfTPACKERS On Monday, Evidence Will Be Submitted by U. S. on Criminal Charge.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Dec. 9. Completion of the jury to try the billion dollar indicted packers on the charge that they violated the criminal section of the Sherman anti-trust law Is fixing the price of fresh meats is probable Monday, attaches of Judge George A. Carpenter's court declared today. This opinion was based upon the rapidity with which counsel for the packers put questions to the jury candidates preferred by District Atty. J. H. Wilkerson. Attorney Uohn Barton Payne, who worked with Attorney John S. Miller in examining the talesmen, said just before the opening of court today that with the possible exception of two men among the twelve in the box he wsa satisfied with the jury. The packers counsel insisted that every juryman should prove his ability to think fast and to follow the mazes of any sort of legal argument which might arise. This also suited the prosecution. Only one of the jurors substituted by the packers appeared likely to prove objectionable to the government. He was John Somarandyk, a former drygoods merchant of Aurora, and for the last ten years manager of a big estate. He was to be questioned about "Big Business." The six jurors picked by the government and tentatively accepted by the packers were: Albert N. Smith, merchant, Chicago. H. I. Bucklin, farmer, Dundee. George V. Dodge, Men's furnishings, Chicago. Ralph Chittenden, farmer, Glancos. J. H. Howard, telephone inspector, Streator. Asa Bunnister, farmer, Maperville. The government men to be cross-examined today were: John D. Broun, contractor, Chicago. Alphonse Kelly, farmer, Wilmington. Four new jurors picked by the defense were: Edward Bcren, dairyman, North Crystal Lake. John Somarindyk, manager estate, Aurora. W. B. Douglas, construction superin tendent, Chicago. Jacob Glein, baker, Ottawa. Kead Jenkins' Adv. on page 5. The Jewelry Store Beautiful. Saed Him the Suggestion. "Soon after our marriage my wife and I went to live In an east end flat, where everything was lovely except the janitor service, and that was abominable." said a Cleveland man. "The janitor was one of these fellows too big for their jobs. He reckoned himself superior in every way to the people he was paid to serve. "One night in midwinter when we had company all semblance of warmth went out of our rooms, and we sat there and shivered like all get out. I was bopping mad, and when I had finally located the janitor I ripped him up the back from Jericho to breakfast. " 'Well,' he said tantalizingly, 'what are you going to do about it? " 'I'll tell you what I'm going to do about it.' I said. 'I'm going straight to a place where there's always plenty of beat.' " 'That's Just what I was going to tell you to do,' said the janitor calmly." Cleveland Leader. Leet Beyond Recall. A fussy old Scotchwoman, traveling to Glasgow, seated In a corner of the railway carriage, was provided with an india rubber cushion for her greater comfort, but unfortunately, owing to the heat and continued pressure, the cushion suddenly exploded. The old lady was in despair, even to tears, over the misfortune to the windbag and again and again reverted to her misfortuue. "Tut. woman." said a commercial traveler in another corner of the carriage, "it's not worth making a fuss about. You will get it repaired in town for about IS pence." "It's no' that I'm vexed aboot it's no' the price. That's easy sorted. But the last time that bag was blawn up it wis by Aunty Jean, almaist wi' her very last breath, an that canna be restored!" He Did. "Excuse me. but does Walter Halter live hereabout?" Thus the English tenderfoot, polite and timid, addressed himself to the grizzled native in the slouch bat and whiskered trousers. "No." replied the native. "Well, do you happen to know where I shall be able to find him?" politely pursued the Englishman. "No!" "Dear me!" The tenderfoot stood puzzled. "1 must have lost my way. Perhaps you can tell me where Mr. William Bluff, popularly known as Grizzly Bill, hangs out?" "I can." "Where?" "Right here! I'm Bill!" "But." expostulated the tenderfoot, "they distinctly told me at the settlement that Halter lived within a gunshot of you." Well." responded Grizzly Bill, "he did."

A TICKET SCANDAL WILLJEJEBATED National League Annual Meeting to Be Marked With Fireworks.

i - w- wsst e a laiivu; i NEW YORK. Dec. . The invasion1 of New York by magnates of both leag- j ues who will attend the annual meetings in this city next week, will be fully under way tomorrow. President Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club, chairman of the National committee, had arrived yesterday but Ban j Johnson, president of the American league, who stands next In importance to Herrmann was not expected until today. As the final arrangements for mc uieeuugs we iimue iixjay , rum- j ora of sensational developments ' became current. It is admitted that the National league meeting, which opens in the ! Waldorf at 10 o'clock Monday morning, will be marked by fireworks. Chief interest is attached to the ticket scalping scandal in New York before the world series. Evidence will be produced, it is said, in an attempt to establish those charges that the New York club allowed tickets to fall into the hands of speculators instead of regular patrons of the game. Ban Johnson has promised some interesting developments In the preliminary meeting of the National commission which will be held before the big meetings open. Johnson has made the charge that speculators secured 5,000 seats for the world series games in New York and he declares that he is ready to produce evidence to substantiate bis charges. John T. Brush, president of the New York Giants, who has been under fire since the seat sals for the world series opened, is in San Antonio, Tex., and he will be represented at the various meetings by Secretary Joseph O'Brien. Business of but little moment is to come before the American league magnates. James McAleer and Robert McRoy, the new owners of the Boston club, will look after Red Sox interests.

DIAMOND EXHIBIT A WONDERFUL ONE One of the moat valuable collections of diamonds ever seen in Indiana is the leading feature of a remarkable holiday display of jewels at Jenkins" Main Street store today. As the central attraction in the exhibit, a twenty-two carat flawless diamond is shown in the window of the local store, the value of which gem Is placed at $12,500. The two other principal exhibits in the display are a diamond and platinum collarette, valued at $10,000. and a 19 carat diamond priced at $11,730. The total value of just the diamonds in the window of the store is estimated at nearly

$150,000. The exhibit will be open to view only this afternoon and evening. CANARY BIRDS. The Care That Should Be Bestowed Upon These Songsters. Those who are charmed by the singing of the canary will find in the following directions much that will increase the happiness of the songster, provided the hints are heeded: Flaee the cage so that no draft of air can strike the bird. Give nothing to healthy birds but rape and canary seed, water, cuttlefish bone and gravel paper or sand ou the floor of the cage; no hempseed; a buth three times a week. The room should not be overheatednever above 70 degrees. When moulting (shedding feathers) keep warm, avoid all drafts of air. Give plenty of German rape seed. A little hard boiled egg mixed with crackers grated fine is excellent. Feed regularly at a certain hour in the morning. By observing these simple rules birds may be kept in fine condition for years. For birds that are sick or have lost their song procure bird tonic at a bird store. Very many keep birds who mean to give their pets all things to make them bright and happy and at the 6a me time are guilty of great cruelty in regard to perches. The perches hi a cage should be each one of a dif ferent size and the smallest as large-) as a pipestem. If perches are of the right sort no trouble is ever had about the bird's toe nails growing too long, and, of all things, keep the perches clean. Exchange.

Milady's Letters. Plain white or gray sheets, folded once into envelopes, and black Ink are the approved materials for social correspondence. It Is not a good plan to use a pronounced txoe of stationery.

The plain and simple varieties are always In the best taste. White, gray or gray blue banknote, line or cream laid papers, all severely plain, are the only varieties a man can use In correspondence, and a woman must be even more particular. Crests, monograms and addresses may be engraved, stsmped or embossed on the stationery of both men and women. Fads in stationery are sometimes of a pronounced type, but as a rule they last only a short time snd are taken up by few people only. In the event of a monogram on the paper it is a good plan to have the letter in very small type. A Word to the Debutante. The formal affair which introduces a young girl to society follows closely the form of an afternoon tea. The debutante, gowned with a thought for youth, with flowers on arm, stands with her mother, and usually she asks two or more of her favorite girl friends to receive with her. She dispatches a carriage to bring them to the reception if they bava none at their disposal, introduces them to all the callers and entertains them at dinner afterward. Sometimes ns an added courtesy she presents each of them with a bouquet to carry during the afternoon, first ascertaining the color of the gown to be worn so that the flowers may be harmonious. Flowers sent as remembrances by friends and relatives are arranged tastefully about the room. A Few Mere Donte.
