Miss Ruth Libby Becomes Bride of Mr. Ernest Dewey.

The home of Dr. and Mrs. Harry L. Brown was the scene of, a very pretty wedding Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The contracting parties were Miss Ruth Ashlock Libby, daughter of Mrs. Fletcher Monnett and Mr. Ernest Dewey, of Bowling Green, Ky. The marriage was performed by Rev. J. C. Parrett, of the Presbyterian church. The bride was formerly of Evanston, 111., but came here with her mother following the latter’s marriage to Mr. Monnett. Although she had been here but a short time and resided at the Monnett country home, she had made many friends in Rensselaer. She was beautifully attired for the wedding in a white chiffon gown with draped overskirt of crystallized net and waist of the same material embroidered in white silk. She wore a long veil caught with a* wreath of orange blossoms. The bride carried a large boquet of white roses tied with chiffon ribbon. The groom holds a responsible position in the service department of the Western Electric Co., of Chicago. The bride was attended by Miss Jean Street, of Evanston, who wore a handsome gown of pale yellow silk mull and carried a large boquet of yellow • roses. Mr. Phillip O. Cummißkey,_iof St. Louis, Mo., was best mpn. The bridal party departed for Chi-~ cago on the 6:02 train Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey will be at 'home after Nov. 12th at LaGrange, 111.

Wednesday Was Anniversary of Columbus’ Discovery of America.

There was no evidence in Rensselaer Wednesday that it was the annivesary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, and had the dauntless navigator been permitted to look over Jasper county that day he would have thought the present Inhabitants of the great, free land very unappreciative of his daring trip across the Atlantic. It was Oct. 12th, 1492, that he sighted lanfl in the Bahama Islands that led to the later discovery of the ihainland of America. The local board of trade office, managed by Geo. W. Goff, was the ouly institution to our knowledge that took a holiday.

Cousin of Mrs. Norman Warper Died on Farm He Was Born On,

Mr. and Mrs. Norman Warner received information a few days ago of the death on Oct. 2d, in Wabash county of Flavius J. Hale, a cousin of Mrs. Warner. He was 74 years of age the 20th ofNast May, and was born and died on the same farm in Liberty township, Wabash county. He was the first white child born in the township. A Wabash paper paid him the following high compliment: “Everywhere he was known as an honest man, a good citizen, a loving husband and father. He stood high in the estimation of the public and had a host of friends. He was successful financially.”

Van Wood has made a number of improvements in his depot barbershop, bought some new furniture and uow has a very nice and up-to-date shop. For many years that section of the town was without a good barber but Van not only fills the place as a competent workman but has the qualities of good citizenship and sociability that wins him the trade of all that section of town. J. W. Nelson, William Clift, John Casey and H. C. Hoshaw appeared for examination before the pension board at Delphi yesterday. John Thornton appeared before the board at Logansport. All are seeking a pension increase, which all richly deserve. “Generally debilitated for years. Had sick headaches, lacked ambition, was worn-out and all run-down.

BEVERIDGE ACCOMPANIES HIM. The Great Leader Gives Endorsement To Campaign of Beveridge and Tells Public of Ills New “Nationalism.” Many Indiana cities welcomed Theodore Roosevelt today. He has always found a warm welcome, in Indiana and the demonstration that accompanied his appearance in all the towns where he was scheduled to be, proved that he has lost none of his hold on Hoosierdom. His endorsement of Senator Beveridge, his plea for his new nationalism and his free and frank discussion of the problems confronting American statesmanship won for him rounds of applause wherever he spoke. The following telegraphic report was received in bulletins by the Republican: Crawfordsville, 10 a. m.—Roosevelt “luck” prevailed in the matter of weather today and the ex-president entered this state’early this morning under the most favorable conditions. He spoke first? at Covingtofi, where a great throng had assembled for his five minute talk, although the hour was 8:30. A quarter of an hour later he reached Veedersburg, where He spoke for 15 minutes. His next stop was Crawfordsville, where he was to have remained 15 minutes, but a crowd of 15,000 people had assembled on the college campus and it was impossible for Colonel Roosevelt to get away when the alloted time had expired and his special left here almost threequarters of an hour late. From the very outset the keynote of his speeches was an aggressive appeal for Senator Beveridge. At Veedersburg he said: “I am here to speak for Albert J. Beveridge and if you really believe that a public man ought to fight for the public good, then you will return Albert Beveridge to the United States senate and I want you to back up your words in favor of honesty, aggressive honesty, by your votes. Friends, make no mistake; if Indiana votes against Beveridge it will be understood and can only be understood as punishing the man who strove to bring his party abreast of the times, of the people and the United States as punishing the man who stood fearlessly for the right when it needed nerve to stand for the right. I have followed the course of Senator Beveridge in this state. I have read his speeches. He has hewed straight to the line and there is not one thing he has said on the stump that is not backed up by his actions at Washington.” Senator Beveridge accompanied the colonel to this city, and their appearance together brought round after round of applause. The speaker strongly endorsed the Beveridge tariff commission plans. Hundreds shook hands with Roosevelt and he would have been kept busy the entire day at this alone had it not been for the fact that his train was in waiting and he was hastened on to Lafayette, almost 45 minutes late. Lafayette, 1 p. m.—The Roosevelt meeting was held at the Lincoln club, a mammoth crowd assembled. The train was late to arrive and consequently left almost an hour late. Roosevelt was received with cheers. He spoke with great earnestness, appealing to the people to support Beveridge men for the state legislature if they wished to see his work in the United States senate carried on. He spoke for republican principles and urged men of all parties to support Beveridge because he was making a noble stand for the common people and the square deal. Cheers interrupted the speaker at times and the shouts were deafening when Coldnel Roosevelt left to take his train. -. .Lift, spoke briefly at Colfax and Lebbanon, arriving late at Indianapolis. It was a great day for republicans and all meetings were an unparalled success. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 13.—Colonel Roosevelt’s special train arrived at Covington at 8:45 this morning. The republican state committee have provided the train all the way from Peoria, 111., where the Colonel spoke last night. Colonel Roosevelt is traveling in the car “Grassmere.” Traveling with Colonel Roosevelt as members of his immediate party are Carl B. S. Howland, Frank C. Hoyt, Harrold J. Howland, of New York, and his private secretary*, Frank Harper. Nearly a score of representatives of the large metropolitan newspapers of the eastern and middle states, and representatives of all the national

press associations are traveling with Colonel Roosevelt in their own car, The Forest.” The Pennsylvania railroad company has had charge of the railroad arrangements since Col. Roosevelt left New York and their representatives had charge of the special train in Indiana today. Colonel Roosevelt was greeted at Covington by a la,rge reception committee including Harry S. New, member of the republican national committee from Indiana, Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Chairman Edwin Lee, of the state committee, William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond, William E. Eng - lish, of Indianapolis, and other well known members of the party who were invited by the state committee to accompany Colonel Roosevelt throughout his trip in this state. Colonel Roosevelt showed his pleasure at being greeted so early in the morning by Senator Beveridge, Capt. New' and others with whom he has been on very friendly terms for a number of years. The size of the crowd at Covington was regarded as a good omen in view of the fact that an all day rally had been planned for Veedersburg, which it in the same county. N •As Colonel Roosevelt’s train proceeded, it was evident that his trip was going to be a great personal triumph and that he is even more popular in Indiana than ever before. Colonel Roosevelt showed that he was greatly pleased to have the opportunity to come to Indiana at this time to speak on behalf of Senator Beveridge and the entire ticket. He was closeted in his compartment with Senator Beyeridge, Captain New, Chairman Lee, and other republican leaders, with whom he discussed the situa-

MANY MARCH IN SUNDAY SCHOOL PROCESSION.

Parade Attracted'Good Attendance and Public Schools Participate—All Follow the Band. The Sunday school parade at 1:15 this Thursday afternoon was a 'great success. Many of the schools from the country were represented. Union township was in with four decorated automobiles and two decorated wagons. Barkley township was also well represented. The boys’ band marched from the school house to the court house at the head of the school children, who were accompanied by the teachers. It was an inspiring sight to see the little tots in line and the streets were lined with people to view the parade. The Sunday school delegates and a number of co-workers followed the school child ren and the wagons and automobiles followed in the rear. The parade was about a half mile in length. The Sunday schools seem to he wideawake this year-and the demonstration should result in an augmented attendance. The convention is proving a striking contrast to the one held in Rensselaer a year ago, which was almost a total failure. The meeting this afternoon is being held at the Christian church and the one tonight will be at the Presbyterian church. That will conclude the convention.
