RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY. MAf «, ltlL

NO ONE BOBBED AND NO ONE WAS BRIBED.

Superior Equipment of Republican Secured for It Particular dob of Printing “Chaos.” a A big wail has gone up from the Democrat office. Crying and babying is a specialty in that shop and the public pays but little attention to it. The Republican was given the Job of printing “Choas,” the high school annual, a student publication that depicts the various features of school life. The Republican’s price was $235. And the Democrat howls. Says it is robbery and falsely says that the bid was SBS higher than the bid of the Democrat. Just how false the Democrat waa in its statement can not be told accurately, owing to the indefiniteness of the Democrat’s bid. To begin with the Democrat was false 25 cents a page. It says in its howl that the Democrat bid $1 per page; as a matter of fact the Democrat bid $1.25 a page. It says there were to be 125 pages in the book, there are 128. Then the Democrat’s bid said that in addition to this would be the cost of the paper, the cost of the cover, the cost of the cord, etc., which was so ex- 1 tremely uncertain and indefinite that it is difficult to tell just where the Democrat would quit charging. But, 128 pages at $1.25 amounts to T. $160.00 Cost of paper, approximately. 30.00 Cost of cover.... 5.00

Total $195.00 Thus the Democrat started its wail with & misrepresentation of $45, not counting anything for the “etc.” in its bid. ' ~ ; The school committee that had the giving of the contract gave the greatest care to their work. They wanted to be assured of a high-class job as the first essential, and they sent out twelve invitations to bid on the work. Here are some of the estimates from printing companies: Repub. Pub. Co.,.Hamilton, 0..5375.00 Ind. Ptg. Co., Crawfordsville.. 221.00 Burford Co., Indpls., S4OO to.. 500.00 Franklin Ptg. Co., Chicago, approximately .... * .. 700.00 Burt-riay wood Co., Lafayette, too busy to accept the work at any price. One concern at Terre Haute, one at Richmond and one in Wisconsin also replied Saying that they would be unable to do the work owing to a rush of other work.

There were thus two bids, lower than the bid of The Republican. One of these was $14.00 less and -the sample submitted was not satisfactory. There was also the inconvenience of having the work done out of the city, as well as the desire to give the work to a Rensselaer office if they were sure of equally good work. While the bid of the Democrat office .was apparently about S4O less than that, of The Republican, there was then to be considered only the ability of the two offices to do the work. The Republican office has a Miehle job cylinder press, which is especially made for fine cut work, in which the publication largely abounds The Democrat office would have to do the work either on a platinum job press or on a newspaper press, and it is an absolute impossibility to do good half tops work on either. The committee studied this proposition over, as well as taking into account the fact that, there never was a printer in the city of the ability possessed by The Republican foreman, Thad H. Stephens, whose work stands for printing efficiency. Another thing taken into consideration about Babcock’s bid, was his intention of sending the half tone work, which bis office is not prepared to do, down to Monticello to have done. The high school committee did not want the work sent away from Rensselaer when they could get as good or better work at home, v And The Republican was given the contract, just as you would have given the contract for any kind of a job to the person whom you knew had the equipment to do it right

The editor of the Democrat is probably enough of a printer to know tlm there is no comparison in half tone printing between cylinder and platir num press work, and he evidently knows that his shop is not prepared to do the class of work "Chaos” required. His bid was S4O less for a job so much inferior that tbe committee wisely decided to have it done at The Republican office. “We print anything for anybody;” we do it right and we defy competition in prices, results considered. And we don’t furnish flimsy 6, or 8-ply card board for a 10-ply Job. We abide by the specifications. And we answer all questions and we don’t act the baby.

Greed for Federal Office Is Ravenous in State of Ohio.

Beneath the picture of Carmi A. Thompson, of Ohio, the Lafayette Evening Courier of Thursday printed the following: “Hoosiers, generally speaking, have a national reputation for keeping their grips on things down at Washington, and they are able to hold their own against all comers except those from Ohio. An Ohioan is born to hold federal office, and that is all therp is to it. A case in point may be cited in the instance of filling the office of second secretary of the interior. Mr. Jesse Wilson, a duly accredited Hoosier, was filling the position very acceptably, but it came to pass that political patronage for republicans over in Ohio became suddenly very sparse. Carmi A. Thompson happened to be among those needing federal sustenance and aso the plea was made in his behalf. As a consequence Wilson went out and Thompson went in. Carmi A. Thompson was at one time secretary of state In Ohio.

Gollmar Brothers’ Circus Parade Character of Show.

The Gollmar Brothers’ show, which exhibits In Rensselaer, Saturday, May 13, features everything connected with it, from the street parade to the concert. The press of. other cities have made only the .most favorable comment for Gollmar Brothers’ parade. Even when the show visits territory where It has never been, its magnificent street pageant so. agreeably surprises the public that they are sure 'to crowd the immense tents.

It is in the parade that thq/tnanagement of a circus can show .to good advantage the stability and character of the aggregation. If it is a cheap concern, giving only ordinary performances, its parade will tell the tale. If it is really meritorious the street display will demonstrate the fact. The splendid equipment of the great Gollmar Brothers’ Circus is shown to excellent advantage In the big parade, and it is always complimented. The horses are in fine trim, and the tableaux, wagons, dens, cages, and chariots are resplendently decorated with costly carvings, gilt and varnish. An unusually large number of dens are open in the parade, and the general public is given a free exhibition of a fine array of wild animals. All In all, it is pronounced by many, the finest and best circus display ever seen upon any streets. But it is in the circus performance that the show excels. The parade of the Gollmar Brothers’ show will start from the lot at 10 o’clock sharp, and traverse the principal streets.

Mrs. Cora Schultz In Conrt; Action Dropped on Her Promise.

Mrs. Cora Schultz, whose husband, John Schultz, is said to be in North Dakota, and who several weeks ago filed a petition for divorce, was brought before Squire Irwin Friday afternoon on a charge of having stolen a linen dress Bkirt from the residence of J. L. Brady. Mrs. Schultz had been working there for a few days and Mrs. Brady had become suspicious when several articles were missing. Mrs. Schultz had been spending the nights in a house in the east part of town, and a search warrant was procured and Deputy Sheriff Gus Grant found a linen dress skirt belonging to Mrs. Brady. The arrest followed and when she was brought before Squire Irwin she denied any knowledge of the other articles that were missing. On account of the small value of the article involved it was decided not to prosecute. Mrs. Schultz, who is said to have been causing the police considerabla trouble, promised to leavd town and not return.

Big Double Wrestling Event Takes Place at Ellis Tonight.

There has been a good advance sale for the wrestling event at the Ellis theatre tonight Charles' Olson, of Indianapoliß, will wrestle “Mysterious Waffles’’ and the bout should be a good one. Olson’s superior science will probably conquer the greater weight of his adversary, but they are a good match and thfe wrestling will doubtless be the best ever seen here. The cleverness, the ease and grace which Olson displayed when be was matched with Murbarger, was so pleasing that many will attend the match to see him perform. What looks to be an equally good match is the one between Freddy Beell, a clever 140 pound wrestler, with Harvey Myres, of Parr, who will probably weigh 180 pounds, but who has only a limited amount of practice. Myres is now the county champion, having defeated Stewart at Wheatfleld last Saturday night Tonight’s match is by far the best card ever advertised here.
