NO OPPOSITION BUT A FEW UNSIGNED POSTAL CARDS.

Crnmpacker Renominated, Endorsed And Loudly Cheered at Tenth District Convention. The convention of 10th district republicans at Lafayette Monday was a very excellent meeting and while the nomination of Edgar D. Crumpacker was a foregone conclusion because there was no opposition to his candidacy, there was much interest in the convention and the evident satisfaction' which the delegates bespoke for the conditions at homes in general matters of business proved that there is really no one kicking about the manner in which the Payne tariff bill is working. The convention was called to order at 1:35 o’clock in the Victoria theatre by District Chairman Hickey. Practically every seat in the delegate section . was occupied, notwithstanding the fact that there was no contest. Chairman Hickey asked for nominations for permanent chairman of the convention and George P. Haywood, the Lafayette attorney, was placed in nomination, and he was selected without opposition. He made a very appropriate speech in which he talked fairly of the prevailing tariff laW, admitted its imperfections but stated that the McKinley bill was unpopular for some time after it jvent Into effect, and that he thought time would largely efface the criticism made against the present measure, which he considered came any how largely from democratic sources. He did .not deny that there is some internal trouble in the republican party, but he believes that the differences are not serious and that they will get together for the common good of the country. L. R. Skinner, of Laporte county* was made permanent secretary and all the republican editors of the district assistant secretaries. The chairman then appointed committees on order of business, credentials and resolutions. On motion of W. E. Peck, of Remington, each committee consisted of one man from each county. W. E. Peck was the Jasper county member of the first named committee; W. V. Porter of the second and C. C. Warner of the third. There were no contested delegations and the delegates were declared eligible as seated. The resolutions committee then made its report and following the reading and adoption of the resolu-. tions, Judge Tuthill, of Laporte county, placed the name of Edgar D. Crumpacker in nomination. The presentation of the name as well as its mention in resolutions and by different speakers was lustily cheered and when Chairman Haywood called for a standing vote every delegate raised to his feet and three rousing cheers for the nominee were raised. While awaiting the report of the resolution committee a letter from Congressman Crumpacker was read and several speeches were made. One of these was by Judge Rabb, of Williamsport, who spoke encouragingly of the conditions of the present and the outlook for the future. Judge Rabb is inclined to think the present tariff bill is all right or almost all right. He thinks we are too much inclined to listen to the statements made by the democratic and mugwump press, which is constantly and ingeniously made in an effort to create dissatisfaction. In Judge Tuthlll’s speech he touched upon the sending out last week.of a number of unsigned postal .cards from .Chicago to prominent republicans of the tenth district, which sought to create distrust of Crumpacker and if possible to instigate trouble between him and Benator Beveridge. The cards came in two installment and seam to have been sent all over the district. At first they might have had the appearance of being from some one opposed to Mr. Crumpacker, but later it was evident that they were simply sent out by democratic instigation for the- hope of future results. Judge Tuthill.branded them as being of democratic origin and said that the only opposition to Mr. Crumpacker was that shown in a lot of unsigned postal Cards. His remark brought a round of applause from the delegates and it is claimed that all over the district the

Regular Meeting of the City Council Held Monday Evening.

The city council met in regular monthly meeting Monday evening, with all members present. The members of the fire department were allowed $1 each for attendance at recent fires. The city engineer was instructed to ascertain the probable cost and best route for the extension of the Melville street sewer. * r f ■■ J . An ordinance providing for the repair of the hose wagon was introducted and placed on- its passage. The light superintendent was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for a building for a new boiler and coal house. The petition of the merchants for the city to take charge of the street sprinkling was continued until the next meeting. A representative of an oil company was present and brought the matter of oiling the streets before the council. He claimed that six blocks could be oiled at a tcost not to exceed S3OO, which would be SSOO less than the amount subscribed by the merchants for the water sprinkling, and the team would not have to be used. Oil could not he used on the brick streets, however, and these would have to be sprinkled as heretofore. It is probable that the council will pass favorably on the petition of the merchants. H. L. Gamble was appointed city engineer to fSTuu**' term of L. C. Klosterman, who never qualified for the position,.and merely^ did what work he did as an accommodation to the city, and to give some of the college students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with this work.

DOCTORS ARE TO PREACH IN THE CHURCHES SUNDAY.

Rensselaer Physicians will Fill Pulpits of Various Churches and Discuss Tuberculosis. 't- y ' ' '-I . - April 3d, is to be known throughout Indiana as “Tuberculosis Sunday,” ajid if tire plans of Dr. Hurty are carriecTmif ali over the state, as well as Dr. eT N. Loy, the county officer, is planning to have, thorn carried out in Rensselaer, the plan will be a great success and result in great good in the education of the public about the magnitude of tHe white plague and' the best means of prevention. Dr. Loy has asked the other doctors of the city to co-qperate with the ministers and himself in the work and the paßtors have all agreed to devote the evening service hour to the subject of tuberculosis and to give the doctors an opportunity to instruct the people in things should know about tt)e dread disease and the best methods of prevention of its spread. During the past year there were in Indiana 4,527 deaths from consumption, which invaded 4,022 homes. The treatment of the disease in'the state last year is estimated to have cost the enormous sum of $10,000,000. The doctors are interested in doing all in their power to lessen the disease and to make the lives of the victims as comfortable as possible. The novelty of haying the medical men fill the pulpits and discuss a subject so vital to the interests of the public, affecting their physical as well as their moral and spiritual welfare should in itself attract many to the churches, and it is believed and hoped that muph good will result from this means of education. .

The undersigned wish to inform the public that they wHI start a dairy in Rensselaer the last of the week and wish to get the custom of the public. Orders to No. SXO K will receive attention.
