MARSH BRIDGE BURNS.

A marsh culvert, just north of Shell
by, burned some time last night and
is presumed to have been set on fire by
a train. The marsh grasses Of which
there is an abundant supply at that
place, coupled with the hot weather of
the past few days, causes this to be
taken as the probable cause for the
burning The last train to come through
from the north was the flyer at 1:1S
while the berry special and other
trains detoured to Monon. Number 81,
however, commonly known as the paper
train, backed up to Hammond and de-
toured to Shelby, getting into Rensse-
laer about o'clock Nos. and 81, both
due 1909 and 1872. respectively,
detoured and missed us entirely No
30, from the south, came as far as
Monon and went to Wilders and around
on the Erie tracks.
Repairs were made so as to permit
the south bound Hoosier limited to get
through this afternoon. Rensselaer,
Republican.

Our cats tail having grown to such

To be direct and less hgurative what
course will the board of public works

Friday, the 18th, is the day and 10

pros will occur a second time with
both sides in about the same relation
as at the last hearing in May. There
is but a shadow of a doubt in the
matter, a mere chance of 100 to /. that
the remonstrance will not be way

Not Greatly Exercised.
Frank Deming of the Chamber of
Commerce body. who is leading the
forces for the sewer, is out of town to-
day and therefore not actively engaged
for the time being Mac Turner. the
architect is to take a couple of days
off, possibly tomorrow and the next.
Petitions have been distributed around
town. among business men and factory
managers. but with the same indiffer-
ent result
The law does not provide for petit
tions for an Improvement. Instead it
gives the board of public works divine
right in the matter. 1t is the duty of
the board to do what 1t may see fit for
the benefit of the community and for
that reason every progressive citizen
is withholding Judgment until after the
fatefui Friday. June 18th.
What VIII They Do.
Having gotten itself into a bad mess
1t is the opinion of many citizens fa-
voring the deep sewer that the board
will accept the only alternative, choos-
ing to do right and shame the devil.
They will no doubt incur the enmity
OF a horde OF antis. in the minority,
but by doing so will save the admins
tration. The silent majority has signi-
fed an intention of remaining silent
and has refused to help the board out
of the nice predicament it arranged
for itself.
1t is impossible for the board to list
en- to the prevailing argument of antis
that the sewer be builded by appraise-
ment The state legislature has provid-
ed that the Indebtedness shall not ex-
ceed per cent and that method of
general assessment be used. Let the
rich pay for sewer" is a selfish
cry that cannot but hurt their cause.
It's a Grand Old Gag.
An anti said in the. mass meeting at
the Hammond last week that a certain
merchant owning 100000 should pay
for the sewer in proportion to the
value of his estate. The fact that he
would receive sewer no better or no
worse than the lot owner block away
did not make any difference to the
speaker. Just such incongruous argu-
ments are being made daily and win
ming signatures.
