100th Anniversary of Battle of Tippecanoe to be Celebrated Nov. 7.

The citizens of Tippecanoe county have planned an interesting celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Tippecanoe which occurred between the forces under General William Henry Harrison and Indians under the leadership of the Prophet,, near Lafayette on the early morning of November 7th, 1811. The results of that conflict gave shape and direction to the whole subsequent history of the Northwest and the event deserves commemoration and appropriate observance. A sham battle is to be given between the Purdue cadets, representing the white forces and members of the Red Men Order, representing the Indians. Ten thousand rounds of ammunition have been furnished by the state* for the purpose and the battle of a hundred years ago will be reproduced as nearly as possible.

Addresses will be given during the day by the following persons: Governor Thomas R. Marshall. Governor Chase S. Osborne, of Michigan. • ! Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, General, D. A. R. Hon. Addison C. Harris, Indianapolis. , Hon. Edgar D. Crumpacker, Valparaiso. Hon. Charles L. Jewett, New Albany
