The Evening Republican.

We, your committee on resolutions submit the following report: We endorse the administration of President William H. Taft for its unparalleled record of achievement in securing wise legislation and the redemption’ of party pledges. We commend the faithful Service of our able and fearless senior senator, Albert J. Beveridge, and pledge the nominee of this convention to vote for his re-election. We are proud of the record of our representative in congress, Hon. Edgar D.

We recall with satisfaction the record made at the last session of the legislature by our present state senator, Hon. Abraham Halleck, and our present representative, Hon. John G.

We are opposed to the repeal of the present county local option law and pledge the nominee of this convention to use his vote and his influence to maintain it unimpaired upon the statute books.

FOUNTAIN PARK ASSEMBLY HAS AUSPICIOUS OPENING.

Meeting Starts With All Cottages Occupied and Large Sunday Attendance and Fine Program. Fountain Park opened Saturday with the largest first day paid admission in the history of the park. The day was devoted* to the Sunday schools and while there were not as many of these as usual, owing doubtless to the hot and dry weather, which made travel unpleasant, the day was nevertheless a very pleasant one. The program started with music at 10:30, this was followed by short addresses and announcements by Dr. C. E. Fiske, the platform manager. More music followed and there was a general reunion of the cottagers who had been there in previous years and a getting acquainted with new occuto pants of the cottages and tertts. Before the opening of the program every one of the 55 cottages was occupied, a dozen tents had been rented, the ten rooms over the Haskell restaurant reserved and more rooms spoken for in the hotel than ever before. This produced a little city of about 300 people and as some have been cominj there for many years there was lots of talk about and much of the first day was spent visiting. Saturday afternoon the Castle Square entertainers, four young men, all splendid singers, made their appearance. They were so pleasing that many pronounced them one of the best numbers that was ever given at Fountain Park. They appeared again in the evening and both Sunday afternoon and night. The attendance Sunday was about 1,800. Sunday school was held at 9• 30 and was largely attended. Classes were organized and placed under competent instructors. Following this was the morning church service, the sermon being delivered by Dr. Madison Swadner, of Indianapolis, who has discarded church creed and labors with all churches for the cause of Jesus Christ. He related with much interest to the large audience some experiences he has had in field work in the large cities and his sermon was inspiring, as it pointed out the possibilties that surround all to brighten the world and make cheerful sad hearts.

After the adjournment following this service there was an intermission until 2:15, during which time the Visitors, many of whom were picnickers, spread their dinners beneath the generous shade of the trees. Others dined at the hotel, where meals are served at 35 cents. The which are conducted by “Sip” Haspell and Clyde Reeve, had a good business, mainly with ice cream and cream cones. There were people there from Medaryville, Monticello, Wolcott, Rensselaer, Goodland, Kentland, Fowler, Earl Park, and many other places and the two hours soon elapsed. The first thing on the program for the afternoon was the readings of Miss Sylvia Dexter, a very young but splendidly qualified elocutionist, who gave two very difficult numbers with success far beyond her years. She was liberally applauded. Dr. Fiske lectured during the next hour on the subject, “Blazing the Trail to Oregon.” He spoke historically, recounting the great hardships which the real pioneers of those early days had, who, inspired with the love of God, went forth to — establish the c"» • church of Jesus Christ on the western coast. The lives of those intrepid men, Dr. Whitney and Dr. Spauding, and their no less courageous wives, were discussed with the praise due them and the auditors given a better idea, doubtless, than many had ever had before of the hardships encountered in saving Oregon to the United States and establishing there a sturdy class of Citizenship. The Castle Square entertainers followed Dr. Fiske and the big crowd was not disappointed. They offered several numbers, musical, and kept the audience busy with applause. They are certainly of themselves worth the price of admission and it would have met faVor had their engagement been for a longer period. In the evening the same entertainers delighted a good sized audience. Monday morning, Miss Grace Lamkin organised the boys and girls club and they willkorm a part of the daily

Wrens Defeated at Wadena By Score of Two to Zero.

The fact that Hassar held Wadena to three hits Sunday did not let the Wrens defeat the Benton county boys. The unable to cross the plate, while Wadena made two scores. Elmer Wilcox was first up in the first inning and slammed out a three bagger. McLain followed and Wilcox whs nipped at the plate while trying to score on an infield hit. Although the bases were crowded after that, Wadena, played some air tight ball and the Wrens could not get beyond the third corner. Hassar, later in the game, made a three bagger and died on third. The Wrens did not bat as well as usual, getting only four hits, Hassar making two of them. Tlje Wadena boys with three hits made two runs. The Wrens arrived home at about 8 o’clock, some of the automobiles having been delayed by accidents.

Peck are giving their attention to the welfare of the cottagers and visitors and Fountain Park starts off like it might enjoy a record breaking business and surpass all previous years in the accumulation of benefits accruing from a Chautauqua meeting.

Death of Little Daughter Of Bert Welsh in North Dakota.

Thelma Carol, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Welsh, died Saturday evening, August 6th, at their home in Larimore, No. Dak., at the age of 10 months and 17 days. Cholera infantum, that dread disease so prevalent at this season of the year, caused her death, after a sickness of only two weeks. She was so much better during the last week that strong hopes were entertained for her recovery, but Saturday afternoon she took a sinking spell, caused by the heart weakening and sank peacefully to rest. Always a little sunbeam in the' home she is greatly missed, not only by her own family, but by everyone who knew her, for it has been said she was a baby everyone loved. The funeral was held at the family residence Tuesday at 2:30 P. M., and burial was made in Larimore cemetery. “Sleep sweet babe and take thy rest, God called thee home when he thought best." •
