Another Daughter of George Smith Married in Washington.

The Republican recently contained an account of the marriage in Wilson Creek, Wash., of one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Smith, formerly of Rensselaer. Their other daughter was recently married, as related jn the following article from a Wilson Creak newspaper: At a beautiful home gathering, Miss Annabel Smith and W. L. Bryant were married Wednesday morning at the home of Miss Smith. * The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Manifold. Just a few of tl\e immediate relatives attended. The new bride and gooom left on No. 1 for a long trip to end in California, where at Alton, Hwmbolt County, Mr. Bryant will be overseer of a large ranch. Quite a neat little trick was turned on the rice colony by their going by auto to Adrian, where they took the train, thus escaping a mighty warm send off planned for them by friends.

Wrens Played Some Fledglings And Lost Game at Monon Sunday.

The Wrens were defeated at Monon Sunday by the score of 9 to 3. The line-up was weakened by the absence of Jensen, McLain and Elder and the fledglings who filled up the gaps left some big cracks under the bottom board. Elmer Wilcox caught and Swartzell pitched and the game went along nicely for five innings when errors started things against the Wrens and the balance of the game everything went wrong." " r "~ Monon was stocked up some for the contest and the Wrens had had no practice and the line-up waa very weak. Harold Clark, whti %as been playing with the school for the deaf team at Indianapolis, played left field and made a circus catch that brought the big crowd of spectators to their feet. The timber for the Wrens is increasing but Frank Kresler has decided that his business affairs are such that he canpot take the management of the team and there was a big lack of preparation for Sunday’s -game. Next Sunday a game will be played on the home grounds if the present arrangements are completed.

It seems that calcium chloride as a dust-layer is receiving a good deal of attention. The chemical is a byproduct of salt, and looks and feels like salt, and costs sl3 a ton. It is stated that a pound and a half of it will cover a square yard of street on first application; that an ordinary street needs two applications the first year, and one each year thereafter.

SUPERINTENDENT CONTEST WAS SOON DECIDED.

Ernest Lamson, Present Head of Couqr ty Schools, Elected on Third- Ballot Over Four Other Candidates. The contest for the office of superintendent of the schools of Jasper county which has been going on for some weeks, came to a close this Monday forenoon, when, within a few minutes after the board of trustees had assembled they cast a deciding vote in favor of Ernest Lamson, the present incumbent, thereby electing him to the office for another four years. Only three ballots were required to decide the race and Lamson only, lacked one vote on the first ballot./ All of the candidates but Morgan Sterrett received at least one vote. The three ballots resulted as follows: Lamson 6, Hamilton 4, Dean 1, Dickerson 1. The second ballot. Lamson 5, Hamilton 6, Dean 1, Arnold 1, Dickerson 1. The third and deciding ballot. Lamson 7, Hamilton 4, Dean 1, Arnold 1. All the candidates sat in the shade of the trees on the court house lawn with their optics glued on the window where the board was in session. As soon as the result was announced the candidates rose to their feet and Mr. Lamson was soon out with a box of cigars. The four democratic trustees, Right, of Union; Selmer, of Gillam; Wortley, of Jordan; and Lane; of Newton, votel for Lamson from the start and doubtless would have hung out for him indefinitely, as they are said to have been influenced by the democratic machine thgt claims Lamson to be a democrat. He also received the votes on the deciding ballot of May, of Carpenter; Shirer, of Kankakee; and Snipp, of Keener. Parkison, of Marion, cast his vote each time for Ross Dean, and Trustee Folger, of Barkley, supported Homer Arnold. Louis Hamilton had the support of Parks, of Milroy; Parker, of Hanging Grove; Kareh of Walker; and Keene, of Wheatfleld. With nothing but the friendliest feeling toward Mr. Lamson, who has made a very good superintendent of the schools, The Republican is convinced that the republicans have permitted themselves to be politically outgeneraled by the democrat*. They united on Lamson believing him to be a democrat and the democratic leaders in the county are enjoying the victory because it was pulled off where they were outvoted 9 to 4. Anyone of the other candidates was of unquestioned republicanism and there was no reasonable excuse for any republican casting his vote where there was any chance that it was not for one of their own political faith. The office is a political one by virtue of

the means of election and party harmony in Jasper county was given a serious jolt when the republican trustees failed to get together and elect one of the estimable and highly qualified candidates whose party affiliations are positive.

Says Secret of Strength is Taking Snow Baths in Winter.

Gary Tribune. What is the secret of strength? Hercules employed a lion skin to impart the desired quality. Samson had an inherent belief in whiskers. Peter Zfebits, the Gary Titan advocates snow baths. Not ice-cold baths in the summer, mind you; but snow baths in the winter, with the Medicine Hat wind howling through the chinks of your bungalow and all the wild and darksomq things of gloomy winter that cause the very marrow of one’s bones to freeze. Take cold baths then according to Peter, and you will wax husky. It is true that following after Here, Peter sports a lion, leopard or tiger skin in his performance, and has a mighty brush of black beard that might well have turned the cheek of Delilah’s affinity pale with envy, ere that enterprising lady sheared him close. But it is snow baths that do the business. Ice cold water is good, he says; but real snow is the best. You can make a trade of most anything by using onr Classified Column.
