Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 54, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 March 1899 — Page 4

The Republican. OFFICIAL PARER OF JASPER COUNTY ISSUED EVERY TUESDAY A FRIDAY BY GEORGE E. MARSHALL, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR. OFFICE— In Republican building on corner Of Wasting ton and Weston Streets. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year $1.60 Six Months 75 Three Months 50 Friday, March 10, 1899.

The law putting county commissioners on salaries instead of days’ wages, had the emergency clause, and is now in effect. Our commissioners, as before stated, will get $225 per year. The county reform law, which, among other things, requires monthly sessions of the commissioners, is without the emergency clause, and will not go into effect until the laws are published in book form, and distributed. And that will be two months or more.

All of the laws which were still in the governor’s hands when the legislature adjourned, except one, have been disposed of by him. Most of them he signed, and some he allowed to become laws without signing. The one still in his hands is Mr. Knotts’ bill for expending certain alleged money from swamp lands in reclaiming the Kankakee lands. This bill the governor is holding up until he investigates it. He has until Friday to consider it, and if he decides to veto it, his veto at this time will be final.

Some individual who does not sign his name writes that he has jread a “piece of a piece” in The Republican which states that a feature of the new county reform law takes away from the county government all power to spend money for tbe poor except they are in county institutions. He then proceeds to denounce the “inferneld” law, and the men who * made, his understanding evidently being that because the commissioners have no right to assist the poor, outside of the poor houses, that no one else has. Yet if this inpn had read the whole artiole he refers to, he would have found that the power of caring for the poor is simply taken from the commissioners and lodged exclusively in the township trustees, where it rightly belongs. Deserving poor can get public assistance just as easily now as they ever could.

GREAT UMBRELLA AT OMAHA.

Novel Mechanical Device at the TranimiiiiMippl Exposition. The last Paris exposition had its Eiffel tower, Chicago had it* Ferris wheel, Nashville has it* gigantic seesaw. The department of concessions of the Omaha trans-Mississippi exposition of 1898 has also received application for space for the erection of a novel mechanical device. It resembles the framework of a gigantic umbrella more than anything else which might bo mentioned. The part corresponding to the stick of the umbrella in an immense cylinder, 30 feet in diameter, constructed of steel plates firmly riveted, making a standpipe which rears its bead 250 feet above the level of the ground. At the extreme top of this cylinder are fastened 12 long arms, resembling the ribs of an umbrella. These are steel trusses, reaching almost to the ground. At the lower end of each of these ribs is suspended a car for carrying passengers, each car having a capacity for 20 persons.

These monster ribs are raised by hydraulic power, acting by means of steel cables operating through the cylinder, aided by a mechpnism greatly resembling that portion of an umbrella which comes into action when the umbrella is opened. By means of this mechanism the gigantic arms are raised until they are horizontal, the cars in the meanwhile being carried outward and upward until they reach a point 250 feet above the ground. The diameter of the huge circle formed by the suspended cars is also 250 feet. When the highest point has been reached another mechanism comes into play and the suspended cars are swung slowly around in a circle, after which they are lowered to the ground. The sides of the cars are of glass, so that the passengers may secure an extensive view of the surrounding country-. —Manufacturer.

SNAKES PLAN A ROBBERY.

An Insentoan Arrangement by Which Bank Swallows Were to Be Cangrht. A number of Baltimore naturalists had an unique experience the other day while on an ornithological excursion. They were searching' for bank swallows in the neighborhood of Tolchester beach, about a mile from the pier where the excursion boats land. The nests of bank swallows are built in holes in perpendicular banks, generally in colonies, dozens of holes being only a few inches apart. The bank the young men were exploring was about 30 feet in height, with the nests averaging seven feet from the top. The bank was almost perpendicular and the nests were reached by means of ladders constructed of trees. One of the naturalists, after working for some time at one of the nests, felt his hand come in contact with some thing unusual. Drawing out his hand and looking into the hole he was surprised to find, coiled down at the bottom a bugte Iblacksnake, which, after being gotten out and killed, proved to be nearly seven feet in length. Afterward two other snakes, equally as long, were found in different holes. The surface of the bank was perfectly Bmooth, so the only possible way for the snakes to have reached the nests was to have let themselves down from some short overhanging roots at the top of the bank. The snakes seemed to have worked along the bank from nest to nest, as several nests were found in which were eggs that had been emptied of their contents. In a nest with one of the snakes was a bird which had been lately killed, and which the snake evidently was about to devour when its own end came. The naturalists said they had been collecting eggs for many years, but had never before seen anything so like a well-planned attack of 6nakes upon birds* eggs.—Baltimore Sun.

MARRIED BY PROXY.

No Leu Thou Three Queen* Hove Thai Acquired Their Titles. One of the queerest features of court life in Europe is the marriage by proxy of royal personages. There are at the present moment no less than three royal ladies who have been thus wedded —the queen regent of Spain, the dowager queen of Portugal and the exqueen of Naples. Kings and reigning sovereigns are held to be too important personages to be married anywhere else than in their own dominions. On the other hand, it is held to be infra dignitate for a spinster princess of the blood, who is about to blossom forth into a fullfledged queen or empress, to travel abroad in quest of a consort. In order to, meet this difficulty the royal or imperial bridegroom delegates one of the principal nobles of the realm, who goes through the religious and civil portion of the wedding eeremony in the capital of the bride’s country on behalf of his master, making the responses for him and tendering his hand, as well as the ring, at the prescribed points of the ceremony. Ho then accompanies her i to his master’s dominions, acting as her chief escort. Aocording to the ideas of the Homan Catholic church, a ceremony of this kind is sufficiently binding upon the bride and upon the royal bridegroom to render any further ceremony, ecclesiastical or civil, superfluous, and when any additional religiouß function takes place it usually assumes the form of a "TeDeum” and a solemn benediction, attended by both husband and wife immediately on the arrival of the latter in the capital of her adopted country.— Ban Francisco Argonaut.

William Goes Armed.

The German emperor invariably carries with him wherever he goes a amali revolver. Hie majesty is a skillful shot, and the chasseur who accompanies him everywhere has received orders to inspect this weapon evsry morning to assure the fact of its being in working order. —Chicago Times-Herald.
