gntwa January 1, 1897, mm -pond-claw mall matter, at 5m port-offloe at BansMlaar, Indiana, tfadar the act of March 3, 1870.

There was a good turnout of republicans at DeMotte Thursday night to hear Emsley W. Johnson speak and the meeting was one of good feeling. Mr. Johnson made a crackShg good speech, praised the work of Senator Beveridge and asked that .he be supported by every citizen who wanted to see his fight for the interests of the common people continued. The audience gave the closest attention to the argument and Applauded it liberally. Senator Abraham Halleck,- who spent a good part of his life in DeMotte, whs called upon and made a good speech. He recalled the period from 1893 to 1896, when some citizens built a canning factory at that place and saw their industry ruined by the general depression that followed democratic control of the afTairs of the nation. He said that along about the same time he was engaged in the hay business there and that the common wages paid for a day’s labor was $1.25 ® day. although it was a common thin*? for a man to get only a dollar a day and then he didn’t get work half of the time hardly. He stated that when there was some work on hand he used to fire up his engine and blow tho whistle as a signal to the workmen jind_ they flocked in for a chance at the. work so thick and fast that not all of them could be employed. This recital of the condition that existed during that time brought many a,titter end several gave utterance to their recollections. One man said that when Abe’s whistle blew the responses were about as numerous as the doorkeepers at the last session of the democratic house of representatives. » Senator Halleck spoke about the Burk bridge extension and asked if there was any one in the hall who had worked on the job. Luther Frame said that he had and Senator Halleck asked him to tell what he knew about the length of the piling. He replied that he did not know the exact length and was not there all the time, but worked on the job eleven days and that he knew they were busy sharpening and splicing piling all the time and he thought some of it was 60 feet In length. This is the job that Babcock said the piling was only 9 feet long on, or rather he said he was “reliably” informed that it was only .9 feet long. Senator Halleck capped the climax when he referred to a man who had formerly lived in that section and who during the last democratic administration got In so badly that he pulled out “between two days’ and left a number of creditqrs. He then read a letter from this man, who plead for another democratic administration so as to get rid of high prices. The letter recounted how one of his children was teaching school and getting S6O a month and how his 16-year-old son had made SSO a month during the summer. He said he was getting along pretty well himself but wanted to get back again to democratic control and the restoration of the condition that caused him to make himself scarce “between two days.” Many of the candidates were present and the meeting was a good one.

Fifteen Touchdowns Against Monon Makes New Football Record Here.

“Tubby” McDonald and his gridiron warriors from Monon made a very poor showing against the Rensselaer high school Friday evening and the local lads made a total of 83 points and would have run the seore up to 100 had not darkness interfered. ’ To offset this big score the Monon chaps ' ere unable to make a single pole* and only twice did they even make a first down. At the kick off Porter got the ball and carried it back about 10 yeards. Parks then made 30 yards around the left end and James Ellis, who was playing behind the line for the first time, went around the right end for a 55-yard run and a touchdown. That was the>«hrt of what all expected to be a rather close game, for “Tubby” McDonald, the little athletic enthusiast, bad brought over a pretty husky looking set of football players. But they did not know the game, and during the 40 minutes of actual play there were fifteen touchdowns made and from eight of these goals wei*e kicked. The hgh school boys were anxious to run the score up to 100, but it was so dark that the game had to be called 10 minutes before the time was up. It was the largest score ever made on the local gridiron. The touchdowns were distributed as follows: Parks 4, Porter 3, Beam 3, Ellis, Duvall, Robinson, Miller and Smith each 1. The goal kicks were divided between Parks and Porter. The high school team seems to be in pretty good shape now. Coach Rice Porter has been developing them quite rapidly and they are good fofr some difficult games. “Beat Watseka” is a very popular war gry and if that team could be secured for ths Thanksgiving game we would have out an old time crowd with the old time enthusiasm. Having made arrangements whereby we can buy Gold Medal flour at the car load rate, We are prepared to sell you the best flour on earth as cheaply aB any other high grade flour is sold. Give us a trial. , # ,

Dr. Hurty Gives Notice About Infantile Paralysis Quarantine.

Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, has ordered county'health commissioners to hereafter card all houses in which there is a case of infantile paralysis, placing it in the same class with several contagious diseases, and all cases of it are to be reported without delay to the county health officer. The disease is technically know as anterior poliomelitis. There are now a large number of cases in Indiana and it seems that when one case occurs several others usually occur in the same locality.

The notice of Dr. Hurty is based upon action taken at the October meeting of the state board of health. It is published elsewhere in the Republican.

A meeting was also held at Wheatfield Friday night and was addressed by the same speaker who addressed the audience at DeMotte the night before. It was a rousing meeting and should help to bring republican success in Jasper county.
