Evening Star Chapter Made Fine Suceess With Troubadours.

The second performance of the National Troubadours at the opera house Friday evening brought ■ out another good sized crowd and the performance was another great success. The total receipts was $lB6, which amoufit was divided with the promotor after the payment of all expenses including rent for the opers house, printing, etc. The amount cleared by the Evening Star Chapter, O. E. S., was $61.50. In addition to the regular program Miss Myrtle Swain, of Louisville, who is visiting H. W. Kiplinger and wife, played delightfully on a violin. The music was very pleasing to all who were fortunate enough to hear it and after Miss Swain had concluded each number there was a unanimous demand for more. She is an artist of very fine ability and it is hoped will again appear in public during her stay here. Miss Marjorie Loughridge, who sang the solo for the Italian chorus, was one of the ablest of the many talented young people who took part in the entertainment. Her chorus was also very pleasing, and consisted of Misses Madge Beam, Nell Drake, Lizzie Reiddle, Elizabeth Spitler, Martha Long and Irene Simpsoji.

Fourth Fall Meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ Association.

The fourth regular fall, meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ association has been called by President DePuy to meet on the 19th of November at Lafayette. On account of the increased interest being taken in the most recent knowledge on cattle feeding and the great success of the former meetings held, this meeting promises to be the most largely attended of any fall session yet held. The Purdue experiment station has cn grass 80 choice fleshy feeders that will be placent on feed with different rations.' These cattle will be finished for the annual spring meeting of the convention, thus giving the members of the association the opportunity to see the cattle when placed on feed and when finished by different methods of fattening. No better object lesson could be found than this practical demonstration of the variation in the rate and cost of gains and the finish secured-from different feeds. The program will consist not only of the valuation of the cattle and a talk on .the markets by commission men, but also addresses by one or more men. prominent In the meat producing circles of the country. The cattle feediig at the station will be reviewed and the plans for the feeding experiments this winter discussed. It is also hoped that a plan will be adopted whereby the members of the association will make annual reports on their feeding operations, thus giving each member the benefit of the experience of the other members. Every cattle feeder or person otherwise interested in the subject is cordially invited to attend. L. A. Hopkins, of Markle, Ind., has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Will Yeiter, for several days. He called at the Republican office this afternoon to renew his subscription. He made a trip to Mt. Vernon, S. Dak., recently, to visit his daughter, Mrs. Ora Nichols and family,,and found them all well and prospering. Mrs. Nichols has continued to manage a 400 acre farm since the death of her husband and next year will run It without other help than her own family. Mr. Hopkins liked the country so well that he purchased a quarter section 15 miles southwest of Mitchell, and not far from where Bruce Porter lives. If he sells his farm at Markle he will probably move to 'South Dakota.

The democrats seem to have taken a fancy this year to having for their candidates for federal positions men who have represented the sporting fratenity. John B. Peterson represented the Chicago thugs and gamblers at Roby. John W. Kern was the counsel that secured the acquittal of Tom Taggart, whose notorious joints at French Lick were known all over the country. We do not believe that the people of Indiana will approve having this kind of men as their representatives in Washington. Though each is 77 years old, George W. Shafer, of Monnt Vernon, and Mrs. Sarah Mil liken, of Newcastle, were married Tuesday at the home of the bride’s daughter, Mrs. Will Rider, near Newcastle. Don’t think that piles can’t be cured.

First Lecture Date of Epworth Course Will Be October 25th.

The first number of the lecture course to be conducted by the Epworth League will be on Tuesday evening, Oct. ?sth. It had previously been arranged for October 26th, but the date was changed in order that it would not conflict with the Crumpaeker and Mount speech. The lecturer will be Robert Parker Miles, who has made a mark for himself as a reformer that does things, in New York City. His lecture will be the first of what should prove one of the best courses ever held in Rensselaer. The course is a more expensive one than that of last year, because the promotors have proven that a lecture course can be run and made to pay out, but the season tickets will probably be at the same price. Friends of education and refined entertainment should buy season tickets and not fail to attend every one of the lectures, which are distributed through Ahe winter months.

Many Kids Disappointed; No Dog and Pony Show Saturday.

Word was received this Saturday morning that Downie’s dog and pony show had disbanded some place the forepart of the week and consequently would not appear In Rensselaer as advertised. As the show owners had not notified Rensselaer newspapers, with whom they had advertised quite a little, there were a number of people and especially children, disappointed.

Ben Page, of Parr, Is To Board With Sheriff Shirer,

Ben Page, the Parr blacksmith, was taken before Squire Irwin Friday afternoon, he having partially sobered up by that time. He ,was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $8.20. He did not seem to care much about the fine, but was dreadfully worried about a pint of whiskey which he had left in the blacksmith shop and for which W. L. Wood was carrying the key. In default of the ready cash Ben was taken back to jail where he will board with Sheriff Shirer for several days.

Grade at Bark’s Bridge Does Not Meet Babcock’s Approval.

Babcock does not approve the grade recently constructed at Burk’s bridge. He says the commissioners wasted $1,785 and intimates that fraud existed in the letting of the contract and in the constructive work. To make his argument strong he falsifies the report of the work and employs his contemptible inuendo in suggesting that the commendatory article published in the Republican was written with a view to influencing the commissioners in accepting the w.ork. The grade was to some extent an experiment and has sunk some at the old channel and in one soft spot south of the old channel. The weight of the grade has sunk the earth and left some of the piling protruding from the ground, and the engineer found It advisable to authorize one or two minor changes in the specifications with the belief that it was for the best results. The changes did not cheapen the work nor favor the contractor. Road Supervisor Charles Battleday has made repairs and the road is open for travel and has never been closed up except for a short time when gravel was being hauled. Babcock’s article is published for political purposes and Is false with the expectation of deceiving the people and creating distrust of the commissioners.

James Spriggs, of Barkley, Succumbs After Long Suffering.

James Spriggs, a highly respected farmer of Barkley township, died at about 10:30 o’clock Friday night at bis home near Pleasant Grove. He had -suffered from gall stones for two years or more and at one time had an X-ray photograph made with the intention of undergoing an operation, but fearing that it might result fatally, he gave It up and returned frbm the hospital without having the operation performed. He had been previously operated on for appendicitis. The appendix - had been ruptured and it was a long time before he regained bis strength. Abput three weeks ago he was feeling quite well except for occasional trouble caused by the gall stones. A week later he suffered an attack and grew rapidly worse until death came Friday night. Deceased was 45 years of age and a son of Joel Spriggs, of Walker township, where he was raised. He leaves a wife and three children. The funeral will take place at the Christian church In Rensselaer Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o’clock, Rev. G. H. Clarke conducting the service. Burial will be made in Weston cemetery. The spectacle of democrats trying to get the votes of the old soldiers of Indiana based upon the claim that they will secure the passage of a dollar-a-day pension bill is very amusing. These same men who have held out against the granting of pensions and who during the period when they had control of the federal government employed many schemes to discontinue pensions, now adroitly fix a plank in the platform declaring for $1 per day pensions. It is an impossible paradox. Democrats will never pass a $1 per day pension bill. All legislation rewarding the noble men who made the sacrifices in the sixties has come from the republican party. The hope of the democrats is to deceive the old soldiera. Did any one hear of any of the eleven democratic congressmen from Indiana making an effort last year to provide a dollar-a-day pension? Did any one hear of Senator Shively'-doing such a thing? Old soldiers will not be deceived by these metbbds. They vote as they fought and they realize that they can expect reward only from the party that has always stood shoulder to shoulder with them. Imagine the democratic south joining hands with the democratic north to pass the $1 pension legislation. That measure will only become a law by a republican majority.
