ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Thirty-five Monon ditch remonstrances of the Reidelbach law firm have been turned over to Judge Steis for personal investigation pending the individual findings. In all the eighty remonstrances of the Burßon firm and the thirty-five by the Reidelbach firm will be settled in this way. The Logansport Tribune says: “When democrats talk of economy in government, it is only necessary to remind the voters that when congress adjourned there were democratic bills yet unpassed which demanded $500,000,000 in appropriations. And these were in addition to appropriations which the democrats voted and worked for.” Sam Ralston of Lebanon seems to be booming a little on his own hook. As part of his campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1912, Sam has joined Boone county Democrats in denouncing the Democratic state platform’s stand on the liquor question. Ralston’s play to the temperance people is a little late, but it is significant. 1 L _ Woman loves a clear, rosy complexion. Burdock Blood Bitters purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores ruddy, sound health. Co-operation among the bankers of Benton county will be necessary before the overdraft evil there can be eliminated, according to W. M. Harman, cashier of the Bank of Oxford, in answer to a circular letter sent out by the auditor of state asking co-operation in decreasing the overdrafts in the state and private banks. The state and private banks of Benton county showed total overdrafts amounting to $23,000 in the report of June 30. The play of Eli and Jane has that snap and go to it that marks it as one of the plays of the day, no long tiresome waits and you are interested all the time. There is something in the play that seems to hold you in a good humor all the time and when its all over you leave the theatre feeling like the little boy who had his first stick of candy, “I want more.” Last time in Rensselaer, Saturday, Aug. 13th, Ellis Theatre. Congressman Crumpacker, District Chairman Hickey, John E. Reed and E. H. Neal took an auto trip to Remington last evening and met a number of people there. This morning they went to Kentland, where a meeting will be held today. All are very cheerful about republican prospects at the forthcoming election and say that there is only one thing in the way and that is the disposition so often shown during periods of great and general pro. 2 perity to remain away from the polls:

The general order naming the routes to be used by the militia companies of the state in concentrating for the maneuvers to be held at Fort Benjamin Harrison Sept. 1 to 10, has been issued and sent to company commanders. The local company will go by a different route from previous year’, which will avoid a transfer from the steam road to the traction road at Indianapolis. A special train will come here for the company and leave at 6:30 o’clock. At Lafayette the coach v. ill be switched to the Big Four track? anfr taken direct to Fort Harrison, thus making the trip without change. Return will be made the same way, except that the car from Monon will be attached to the regular 6:02 train. Babcock defends his own “trust” price on milk by laying stress on the quality, which, of course, is a direct slam on the quality of the 15 cent shaves. The surprising • thing about his cow claim was that he says that there is one-half pint of cream on a quart of milk; it is really remarkable that he didn’t claim (that there was a quart of cream on a half pint of milk. Babcock has shown a great tendency to regulate the conduct of meat markets, telephone companies, barber shops, anil now he is apt to undertake to direct the milk business. The egotism that abounds in his cranium qualifies him in his own opinion as a general regulator. But reverting to the subject of cows, we suggest if he really wants to get a first class cow, that gives quality and quantity and don t have to be fed clover hay and mush during green grass period, he might bring his old crumple horned beef cow down and throw in a press or something to boot and we will start him up with an animal that will make him justified in his pride. -
