D. C. Hopkins Outranks David Nowels as Oldest Voter.

On election day the Republican gave the names and ages of a number of the oldest voters in Marion township and gave to David Nowels the distinction of being the oldest voter, placing D. C. Hopkins second. We were mistaken in that particular, however, as the order should be reversed. Mr. Hopkins was 89 years of age on March 6th and Mr. Nowels was 89 on Sept. 15th. As stated at the time Patrick Halligan probably is older than either Mr. Hopkins or Mr. Nowels, but he js not altogether certain about his exact age, but is probably past 90.

Earl Reynolds and Wife Are Making Big Hit in Berlin.

A cablegram from Berlin to the New York World and other United States newspapers using the Press Publishing company’s service gives Earl Reynolds and wife a fine writeup. The article says: “They have been giving exhibitions in the Wlntergarten which have aroused the enthusiasm of even the hitherto most bored theatre goers. After a highly successful engagement at the London Palace theatre, the Reynoldses came for their first continental performance in Berlin, whieh just now hast a craze for-Jce and roller skating and whtah boasts of an ice-, and a roller skating rink unsurpassed by any similar'establishment. These two .artists on wheels, are not merely fancy skaters. Their performance includes dances on ball-bearing roller skates in which are exhibited skill and gracefulness the most famous toe dancers might envy. Indeed, one might say that their dancing surpasses the intricate dancing of Mlle. Pavlowa and Mordkin, the noted Russian ballet dancers, inasmuch as they go through the most difficult movements of solo and ensemble ballet andl. other forms of expert dancing on skates. “In an interview Mr. Reynolds said. “ ‘lt is extfdneiy difficult and is the outcome of years of practice. I have been skating all my life. Mrs. Reynolds and I have/ won. world championships at all the great Skating carnivals in recent years. A few years ago when there was just such a rage for Indoor ice skating in America as there now is here and all New York’s ‘Four Hundred’ took to skating, I gave lessons to various members of the social set, including Mrs. Clarence Mackay, Miss Helen Gould, the Vanderbilts and the Astors. Among my pupil# have been various persons who have sung at the Metropolitan opera house in New York, among them Melba, Calve, Nordica, the brothers Deßeszke and Mme.

Watch for Opening Chapter in The Republican. A Smashing fieitt Serial For you! A COLUMBUS OF SPACE By Garrett P, Serviss Author of The Sky Pilot, Moon Metal, Etc. It is not an aeroplane that the Columbus of Space has invented, nor yet a dirigible; it is, father, a projectile which can hurl itself through space at planetary speed. It is truly enough to take away the reader’s breath! Read the following bit of thrilling description from this splendid new serial story: We seemed to be at an infinite height, and the sky was as black as ink and ablaze with stars, although the sunlight was streaming into the window behind us! I could see nothing of the earth. Evidently we were too high for that. It must lie away down under our feet, I thought, so that even the horizon had sunk out of sight. I had that queer, uncontrollable qualm that comes to every one who stands on the verge of an abyss. Straight before us, so I presently became aware, was a most singular appearance in the sky. I thought at first glance that it was a round cloud, - curiously mottled. But it was strangely changeless for a cloud, and it had, moreover, a certain solidity of aspect that could not consist with vapor. “Good heavens!” cried Jack, catching sight of it. “What’s that?” “That’s the earth!” said Edmund. Dodge meteors with Edmund Stonewall and his friends. Visit Venus, and see the ever-changing glow of color of the Venustian city. Conquer the ice mountains that separate the land of endless night from the zone of ever-present day; and follow the love of Edmund Stonewall for Ala, the beautiful, to its romantic conclusion. Watch for the opening chapters in the Republican.
