W. O. THOMAS CHAIRMAN OF THE TENTH DISTRICT.

Moutieello Man Chosen to Succeed Hickey—No Opposition—Taft Is Endorsed With Loud Cheers. There was a rousing meeting of Republicans of the 10th congressional district at Lafayette Wednesday, atwhich W.; O. Thomas, jot Monticello, the chairman of the White county committee, was elected chairman of the 10th congressional district Tie meeting was called to order by Andrew J. Hickey, the retiring chairman. Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, was made chairman of the meeting and Ernest Shbrfridge, of Crown Point, was made secretary. Mr. Wood made speech upon taking the stand ’ and praised the administration of President Taft-, saying in part: _ “ “There is every reason why republicans should win this year.'Never before was the country in better condition, nor the people more generally satisfied and prosperous. “The extravagance of the democrats in power in the state proves them unworthy to be trusted with that power. The registration law made by the democrats means an expense of more than a million dollars a year to this state—that is an example of their economy. This registration will cost the people of the state more thap a general election does. The democratic governor of this state violated his oatji of office to' protect the constitution of the United States and of Indiana in fathering the constitution measure, which'a heroic judge immediately declared unconstitutional. • “The state of Indiana is republican. At the last election 75,000 republicans stayed away from the polls. Now Thoirias Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks are in control and. Boehne and Fleming are trying to wrest this control from them —in either case, the breweries are in control. “We are soon to nominate a president. We hear opposition to Taft. It is not a new thing to hear opposition. The same criticism was made against Washington, Abraham Lincpln and Grant. What is the reason for the criticism of Taft? Is he not a man of integrity, energy and fixed purpose? It is because he is a good lawyer, a good judge and because, without fear, he enforces the laws on the statute books. In later years, his administration will go down in history along side those of Washington and Lincoln. “It is the duty of every republican to stand by the man who is trying to bring light out of chaos. He is progressive as the nation is progressive; Ire believes the man who plods in the gutter has every right of the man whpdives in -the millionaire’s palace.” W. V. Porter served on the resolutions committee and James McColly on the credentials committee. The resolutions heartfly enddrsed Taft add his administration, condemned 'democratic extravagance and mismanagement) in the state and gave high endorsement ta the, splendid service of Congressman Crutopagker. Separate resolutions were algo adopted in favor of a canal front Lake Michigan to the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers and thence to the gulf, for higher pensions for soldiers of the civil war and one of regret at the loss from the district of former chairman Andrew J*. Hickey. Mr. Thomas made an enthusiastic speech in taking the office gnd he has the appearance of being a man able to secure the very best results in this district. It was a good harmonious convention and while there was no contest to enliven the interest, all who were there, nevertheless enjoyed meeting the republicans from other places and talking over plans for the coming campaign. .

Mrs. D. G. Waner Suffered Fracture of Bene in Left Ankle.

Mrs. Grant Whrner fell as she was crossing the street between E. S. Rhoads* grocery store and Warner Bros.* hardware Wednesday evening at about 7 o'clock, and sustained an injury* to her left ankle that made it impossible for her to arise. She was carried to the store of her husband and Dr. English summoned. He'found that the Iqwer end of the tibia bone had been broken squarely off and that the ligaments of the ankle were badly torn. The injured member was placed, in a cast before Mrs. Warner was removed from the store. She was then carried home on-a cot It will probably be several Weeks before she can be op her feet again.

BUS TEAM RAN AWAY; SMALL DAMAGE RESULTS.

Team Started at Makeever Hotel, Ran to. Garage, up Front Street and East on Grace Street Kanne Bros.’ bus team ran away Wednesday evening and the new bus purchased by Joe Jackson and later sold to Tone and Ed Kanne, narrowly escaped complete wrecking. Frank Ellis had backed the team up at the Makeever hotel and left them stand there while he went into the Office with a customer. Ed Kanne backed up to the platform with the autobus and the team became frightened and started west on Washington street at a lively gallop. They increased their gait as they proceeded and when they swung south at the Rensselaer garage the buff almost overturned but a telephone pole happened to be in the right place and kept the bus from going over. The horses 'ran to the S. _P. Thompson property at the sduth end of Front street and then turned east and had reached the stock farm when Jim Bullis and another mate from Jordan township happened along and stopped the horses which were quite fagged out. Ed Kanne was giving chase, with the autobus and was about to overtake the team when they were stopped by Mr. Bullis. One rear and one side door spring were broken. the rear axle bent, the glass broken out of the door and the bus somewhat scratched, but not as badly damaged as one would have expected. The delivery horse for the Gwin Lumber Co. took a sudden notion to run and dashed out of the lumber shed iat the south side of the street and straight across the street into the heds on the where it was halted when it reached the north partition of the shed. It made “the fur fly” while in action, however, and the lumber wagon was considerably damaged. • /

Cold Wave is Coming to Greet The Goundhog—Due Tonight.

The forecast for the next twentyfour hours looks uninviting. The snow which has been falliid since morning and which received a little start last night, is to be followed by much colder weather with a cold wave. The weatherman does not go into details to tell us what to expect but whenever he wants to make it impressive that there is really something 1 doing he says: “Miuch colder with a cold wave.” That is the language employed firxhis dispatch today. It may not be as bad as the weatherman makes it look and then again it may be a big sight worse. To be on the safe side it will probably be wise to take all the precautions against frozen pipes, etc. Winter is holding on with a firm grasp. ’TfiSfe was f every day during January and the last week of December and February makes a cold start with a promise from the weatherman for something worse.

George Reed’s Condition is Serious—Fighting Chance Only.

George Reed is in a very critical condition at the Hahnemann hospital in Chicago. Dr. Loy left there this Thursday morning at 2 o’clock at which time he was resting a little easier. He is, however, very weak, and the outcome is fraught, with many misgivings. His surgeon, who was very hopeful after the amputation last Saturday night, says that he “has a fighting chance.” " Anyone desiring rugs made out of old carpets call up Alfred Donnelly for information, Phone 501-L.
